Chapter 722: Chapter 722
Yang Baixin and Lady Yang immediately felt an incredible sense of disbelief and intense anger!
They were prepared to speak in humble tones, but they came to beg Xiao Jianming, not to grovel before this young upstart who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
To beg Xiao Jianming, they could somewhat stomach it, after all, Xiao Jianming was known to be a formidable figure, older than them both, so they could declare their defeat with a convinced mind and voice to the outside world. But Gu Nuan? What was she? A penniless woman who counted for nothing!
"You—" Lady Yang sharply inhaled, about to lash out at Gu Nuan.
Don’t think that you, Gu Nuan, can do whatever you want just because you won a small business deal. The waters in this circle run deep. You, a newcomer, are so smug, especially in the presence of Xiao Jianming, you’re courting death!
At that moment, Xiao Jianming seemed to fall into silence.
Only Uncle Tang had a slight grasp of his thoughts, maybe Xiao Jianming was pondering at this moment if there had been some unexpected development with the evidence Mrs. Zhao handed him.
Otherwise, where did Gu Nuan get the confidence to say these things?
Seeing everyone staring at her with all kinds of expressions, Gu Nuan knew these words had to come out sooner or later, especially since her father-in-law was still in the dark. So she blurted out, "She has two accounts."
’She’ referred to Lady Yang.
In the foreign exchange battle, the account trajectory Mrs. Zhao caught was one of Lady Yang’s accounts, but that account wasn’t actually Lady Yang’s main source of funds. The account that could prove the massive source of Lady Yang’s wealth was another one.
Upon some serious thought, it wasn’t hard to deduce. An account used for foreign exchange transactions would naturally need to be a separate one created as a dummy for operational purposes, to avoid scrutiny.
But how could you directly use the foreign exchange transaction account to make payments to business partners? Naturally, the business account used for actual trading was needed. Hence, such a business account, even if it had a front company selling one thing and dealing in another, would need to have a substantial amount of real funds in it.
Conveniently, Lady Yang, in a fit of pique to win over the manor owner to her side and defeat Gu Nuan in one fell swoop, had used a large sum of money to entice the manor owners.
How much illicit money the Yang Family had embezzled was now clear as day.
"There was no choice. Those people heard the rumors and rushed to seek refuge with me, so they showed me the account they used to make dishonest partner payments, to prove they were deceived and to show their sincerity in repenting. They wanted to gain my trust and initiate new cooperation with me," said Gu Nuan as she revealed the reason.
Upon hearing this, Lady Yang’s vision went dark, and she nearly passed out.
Yang Baixin’s body stiffened.
Xiao Jianming’s gaze grew heavier.
Subsequently, the Yang couple realized Xiao Jianming had stopped talking. It was clear that even he was unaware of this matter; otherwise, with his pride on the line, how could he allow his disliked daughter-in-law to ride roughshod over him? He would have spoken up.
Wasn’t this a further confirmation that, indeed, they were the ones who needed this young newcomer to kneel?
Yang Baixin and Lady Yang wanted to scream.
Yang Zhilin would rather die than kneel.
Kneel for what? Even if her parents kneeled, she would not.
She was not the one who had committed the offense; it was her mother.
The utter heartlessness and ingratitude of a child were on full display at this moment. Thıs content belongs to 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Gu Nuan raised her eyebrows, seemingly truly interested in Yang Zhilin’s current expression.
"Miss Yang, rest assured, the wager was between you and me. It has nothing to do with your parents. If anyone is to kneel, it will be you."
