Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 613 - 596: I Also Have a Temper (2)

Hu Zhifeng called Zong Shimeng’s friends, and later even called the Zong Family, but unfortunately, there was no news of Zong Shimeng.

Mrs. Hu was anxious, worried that Zong Shimeng might have been kidnapped, and urged Hu Zhifeng to call the police.

Hu Zhifeng was relatively calm and said, "Mom, it shouldn’t be a kidnapping. If it were, the kidnappers would have already called by now; they wouldn’t wait till now."

Mrs. Hu was so anxious that she wiped her tears: "If it’s not kidnapping, then why hasn’t she come back? Since marrying into this family, Shimeng has never spent a night alone outside. Even if she couldn’t return for some reason, she would have called. Now she’s gone, and neither has she called. Where could she be?"

Hu Zhifeng was also a bit irritated. He said, "I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes."

After showering and getting dressed, he finally saw the divorce agreement on the dressing table. It was at this moment he confirmed that Zong Shimeng hadn’t been kidnapped but was just hiding.

Mrs. Hu took the divorce agreement and looked at it, finding that Zong Shimeng’s divorce request was to take Xiaobao, while she didn’t want any alimony or compensation.

Mrs. Hu tore the divorce agreement to pieces and asked, "What did you do?"

Hu Zhifeng claimed he hadn’t done anything.

Mrs. Hu couldn’t believe it and said, "If you don’t speak, get out of this house now. Tomorrow, you’ll also roll out of the family company."

She was old-fashioned and had occasional friction with her daughter-in-law, but she knew clearly in her heart that her daughter-in-law was quite dutiful to her and the family. Therefore, she’d rather kick her son out than let her daughter-in-law go.

Elder Master Hu also turned cold: "What’s going on, explain clearly. If you don’t explain, tomorrow you hand in your resignation."

After all, he could still work for another twenty years, then let the grandson take over. If the son didn’t listen, he could cool off on the sideline.

Under the pressure of his parents, Hu Zhifeng could only tell the truth: "The doctor said Amy’s health is very poor, if she loses this baby, she will not be able to be a mother again in the future."

Before Elder Master Hu could speak, Mrs. Hu scolded: "You already have three sons, do you still lack a son? Let me tell you, take that seductress to abort the child, otherwise, I’ll find someone to deal with her."

Hu Zhifeng was unwilling and said, "Mom, Amy has been with me for so many years, this is her last chance to be a mother, I can’t be so cruel."

Ultimately, it’s because of feelings; otherwise, he wouldn’t think about keeping this child.

Mrs. Hu slapped his face with her palm, saying: "You mean I’m cruel? Your wife is generous and tolerant, but even the most tolerant woman cannot allow an outsider’s woman to share her family’s inheritance with her children. If you keep this child, your wife will become estranged from you, and in the future, the children will not be close to you."

"Moreover, which of those women outside isn’t with you for money? If it’s for money, then just take the money honestly, they still want to have a child to inherit the family wealth, I can’t agree to that."

Elder Master Hu saw his wife flushed and worried she might get sick, called for a maid to help Mrs. Hu back to her room. Seeing she was reluctant, he said: "You go lie down, I’ll talk to Zhifeng."

Mrs. Hu then returned to her room.

Elder Master Hu didn’t talk in the living room, but called him to the study: "Are you determined to keep this child?"

Hu Zhifeng was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes. Dad, I plan to send her to Australia, and she and the child will stay in Australia and never come back to Hong Kong."

This arrangement is acceptable, but every action comes at a price. Elder Master Hu said: "Transfer 5% of Hu Group shares under your name to Kai Kai; additionally, transfer the title of two luxury apartments in DLG Towers to your daughter-in-law’s name."

Kai Kai is Zong Shimeng’s eldest son, the most favored by Elder Master Hu.

"Dad..."

Elder Master Hu gestured for him to stop talking: "You insist on letting that woman give birth to this child, you need to make compensations, otherwise you won’t pass the wifey obstacle. Besides you, I will also transfer 2% of shares to Kai Kai’s name, and I’ll give a shop in Causeway Bay to your wife."

He’s willing to send luxury apartments and a shop, but shares will never go to the daughter-in-law. But the daughter-in-law loves the kids, and since Kai Kai is the future heir of the family, giving him 7% shares will likely satisfy her.

Seeing him give so much, Hu Zhifeng didn’t object further.

Elder Master Hu sighed and said: "Zhifeng, a man playing around outside isn’t much of a thing, but remember that a harmonious family is the basis for success. If your wife isn’t on the same page with you, the business won’t go well."

Seeing he wanted to say more, Elder Master Hu waved his hand: "Go back and think it over carefully! Don’t be headstrong and regret it later."

Hu Zhifeng returned to his room and had just sat down when he received a call from Nie Zhan.

"Ah Zhan, it’s so late, what’s the matter?"

Nie Zhan said: "Brother Feng, Jiaxin just called me. She said Sister-in-law went with her to Bali Island. I questioned her on why she didn’t tell me earlier, Jiaxin said she just met Sister-in-law at the airport this morning, and Sister-in-law told her not to let me know about it."

Hu Zhifeng was somewhat fired up: "She’s in Bali Island now?"

Nie Zhan sensed the tone wasn’t right: "Brother Feng, we’ve all seen the efforts Sister-in-law put into you and this family over the years. Her sudden trip to Bali Island, without letting Jiaxin inform me, Brother Feng, how did you provoke Sister-in-law?"

Hu Zhifeng was embarrassed to say.

Nie Zhan understood immediately, it was still about the outside confidante. It’s hard with other people’s emotions to speak much, previously advised when drunk out of past sentiment, he smiled and said: "Once Sister-in-law returns, just sincerely apologize to her, and this matter will pass."

Hu Zhifeng said: "If my sister-in-law calls you again, tell her I will transfer 5% of shares to Kai Kai, my dad will also transfer 2% shares to Kai Kai. Additionally, the two luxury apartments in DLG Towers I bought last month and the family shop in Causeway Bay will all be transferred to her."

Nie Zhan was shocked, the more given, the greater the mistake: "Brother Feng, what exactly did you do to offend Sister-in-law?"

It must be a big deal, otherwise, he wouldn’t be transferring half of his shares.

Hu Zhifeng thought about it and still said. Even if not now, when Lu Jiaxin returned from Bali Island, he would know as well.

Upon learning the reason, Nie Zhan didn’t know what to say. He was willing to hand over shares to his eldest nephew but insisted on keeping the outside woman’s child, Sister-in-law would not be happy, only heartbroken. Seeing him in such a mood, he didn’t advise because it wouldn’t help; he just hoped Hu Zhifeng wouldn’t regret it.

The next day, Nie Zhan told Lu Jiaxin about it: "Find the right time to tell Sister-in-law about this matter. Don’t rush back, stay and have fun for more days."

Lu Jiaxin responded with a smile.

Noticing something odd in her attitude, Nie Zhan asked directly: "Why aren’t you angry?"

Lu Jiaxin laughed, "Without love, money works too. As long as the status and inheritance rights of the children are ensured, Sister Shimeng doesn’t mind how many women he finds outside or how many children he has."

Nie Zhan was silent for a bit: "If she can see it like that, it’s good."
