Chapter 561: Chapter 559: Xue Yang, How Dare You Do This?

Jiang Wei’s gaze occasionally swept in Zhang Yang’s direction as she tried to subtly signal him with her eyes to keep silent.

However, Zhang Yang’s thoughts were clearly elsewhere, so he didn’t notice her hint.

To avoid embarrassment, Jiang Wei decided to change the subject. "I heard Yonghui Supermarket is having a huge sale recently. It seems to be drawing a big crowd."

"Yes. If you’re interested, Sister Jiang, you should go take a look."

Jiang Wei replied with a smile, "Of course. After my mom gets discharged from the hospital, I plan to take her and Sisi to Yonghui Supermarket for a visit."

"Then you should hurry, Sister Jiang. Once this promotion is over, I won’t be restocking."

Hearing this, Jiang Wei asked in confusion, "Why?"

Xue Yang explained, "I plan to transform the business, shifting Yonghui Supermarket completely from offline to online operations."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei had a flash of insight and guessed, "Are you planning to collaborate with Taobao Supermarket?"

In a sense, Taobao Supermarket was also part of the Lin Corporation. Given Xue Yang’s current relationship with the Lin Corporation, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for him to collaborate with them.

However, contrary to Jiang Wei’s expectations, Xue Yang shook his head firmly and said, "No, I plan to venture into the online market on my own."

A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Wei’s face. "That decision is likely to face many challenges. After all, the current online retail market is dominated by giants like Taobao and JD. Standing out to become the third giant will be extremely difficult."

Xue Yang, however, appeared calm and unbothered. He smiled and said, "You’ll never know if you can succeed until you try."

Jiang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled in relief. "You’re right. Only by forging ahead bravely can one discover what the future holds. Let me toast to you. May your online venture be a brilliant success."

Xue Yang raised his glass in return. "Thank you for your encouragement and support, Sister Jiang. I know this path won’t be smooth, but I’m willing to give my all to realize my dream."

After dinner, Jiang Wei drove, with Zhang Yang in the passenger seat and Jiang Sisi sitting alone in the back.

Once home, Jiang Wei asked the nanny to take Jiang Sisi upstairs first, as she needed to speak with Zhang Yang.

After the nanny led Sisi upstairs, Jiang Wei’s expression hardened, and she asked in a cold voice, "Zhang Yang, what did you mean by your comments at dinner?"

"What do you mean, ’what did I mean’?"

"Why did you suddenly bring up the Eldest Miss and the management rights of the Lin Corporation?" Jiang Wei demanded.

"I was just asking casually, what’s the big deal?"

"What’s the big deal? You’re not coming to dinner with us anymore."

"Wei Wei..."

But Jiang Wei didn’t give him a chance, cutting him off coldly. "Get out of the car!"

Angered by Jiang Wei’s attitude, Zhang Yang lost his patience as well. He got out of the car resentfully, his mind filled with confusion and anger.

I just asked a casual question, and she gets this aggressive. Divorcing her was definitely the right decision.

"What did you say? Xue Yang bought Yonghui Supermarket and immediately launched a massive sale?"

Far away in America, Wang Doudou was so enraged by the news that he nearly smashed his phone.

Losing all control, he bellowed furiously, "Xue Yang, how dare you!"

Wang Doudou had spared no effort in meticulously building Yonghui Supermarket into a high-end brand, attempting to start a new trend in the market. Yet, the moment he turned his back, Xue Yang had ruthlessly trampled all his hard work and effort into the dust. For Wang Doudou, such an act was an unbearable insult and provocation. He was furious, unable to accept this reality.

Without hesitation, Wang Doudou dialed his father’s international number, his voice tight with urgency and determination. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Dad, I want to come back home."

On the other end of the line, Father Wang’s voice was steady and serious. "Doudou, don’t be ridiculous. Focus on your studies abroad for now."

"Dad, if you don’t want me to come back, fine. But you have to buy Yonghui back. Right now."

A trace of displeasure entered Father Wang’s voice. "You’ve only been overseas for a few days. You haven’t learned much else, but your temper has certainly gotten worse. I cannot agree to either of your requests."

"Dad, I..." Wang Doudou tried to protest.

But Father Wang interrupted him. "Your sister is currently causing trouble with the family. Don’t add to the chaos right now."

"What’s wrong with Ming Yue?"

"Ming Yue? She is your older sister," Father Wang said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"She was born from a mistress. We’ve already shown her more than enough respect by letting her hold a senior position in the Wang family’s company. And you still expect me to call her ’Sister’?" Wang Doudou was clearly resentful of Ming Yue’s existence.

"Your sister is currently making a fuss about leaving the Wang Family. She says she doesn’t want any of the family’s money and that it should all be left to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Doudou was speechless for a long time.

Father Wang was silent for a moment before continuing slowly, "Ming Yue never wanted to compete with you for anything. In fact, she never had any intention of joining the Wang Corporation. It was I who insisted she join, hoping to have another person helping to protect our family’s enterprise."

Wang Doudou was stunned by his father’s words. It took him a while to respond. "Dad, I can protect the Wang Corporation, too."

"It’s good enough if you don’t cause me trouble, let alone protect anything. Just focus on your studies abroad for the next two years. Even if you can’t be as outstanding as Xue Yang, you should at least learn to preserve the family business."

After this period of close observation and comparison, Father Wang finally had to admit the stark difference between his own son and others.

"I have already agreed to let your sister go learn from Xue Yang."

"What? Ming Yue is making a fuss about leaving just so she can go to Xue Yang? Dad, you absolutely cannot agree to that! Once she joins his company, she’ll have access to all of the Wang family’s business secrets and will undoubtedly reveal everything to him. When that happens, our family’s very foundation will be in grave danger!"

"Silence!" Father Wang cut him off sternly. "Do you think your sister is like you? She has her own judgment and can make her own choices. I have already given her my word, and the matter is not up for discussion."

"Dad..."

Wang Doudou wanted to say more, but his father had already hung up.

Failing to get the answer he wanted and now armed with another shocking piece of news, how could Wang Doudou possibly sit still?

He immediately dialed Ming Yue.

"Ming Yue, if you dare go to Xue Yang’s, I will never forgive you."

Ming Yue was in the middle of packing. Hearing Wang Doudou’s threat, she just scoffed. "You say that as if you forgive me now."

"This time I’ll forgive you even less!"

"Then don’t," she replied, and hung up.

Wang Doudou: "..."
