Chapter 608: The Zhan Family Causes Trouble
He was overthinking it. Just look at all the jewelry rings on his mother's fingers; he could imagine how extravagant she had been these past few days.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? Do you want me to apologize to Jiang Qianhui? Impossible."
Xie Qingyi was so angry that her face turned green. She never expected that her son would side with his ex-wife like this and even make her apologize to Jiang Qianhui. Why should he?
"Since you're not here to apologize, then leave. Don't interfere with my work."
"Work? What kind of work is this? You're disgracing the Zhan family!"
Xie Qingyi spoke with absolute certainty, but Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "Don't forget that I not only resigned from my position as president of the Zhan Group, but also severed ties with the Zhan family. So no matter how down on my luck I am now, I will never disgrace the Zhan family!"
Zhan Xuekun arrogantly said, "Little brother, no matter how down on your luck the Zhan family is, you can't work as a security guard for someone else. How much can you earn as a security guard here in a month? If you need money, just tell your brother, and I'll give you 20,000 or 30,000 a month. That's enough for you to raise a child."
Zhan Xuekun has become arrogant since becoming the president of the Zhan Group, and now he even looks down on Zhan Yanxun.
Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "I handed over the Zhan Group to you, but you'd better have the ability to hold onto it."
Zhan Xuekun's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Zhan Yanxun, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing our Zhan Group to go bankrupt? Although you have voluntarily severed ties with the Zhan family, you can't curse the Zhan family like this, after all, you still bear the Zhan surname!"
"If being cursed means collapse, the Zhan Group has already collapsed thousands or tens of thousands of times. Do you think it's your turn to take over?"
Zhan Xuekun's face was grim. At this moment, Xie Qingyi said, "There's nothing wrong with your brother taking over the Zhan Group. After all, he's the eldest son and the older brother. It's good to let him be the president of the Zhan Group."
As Xie Qingyi spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally revealed the ten gemstone rings on her hand. These were all gifts from her eldest son, Zhan Xuekun, after he became the president of the Zhan Group!
This was the first time Xie Qingyi, who had been in the Zhan family for so many years, had ever experienced the feeling of squandering money at will.
Previously, the old man kept things in check. Later, the old man passed the Zhan Group to Zhan Yanxun, who also followed the old man's style of doing things and strictly demanded that everyone in the Zhan family meet his standards.
Her monthly allowance was provided by the Zhan Group Foundation, and Zhan Yanxun would not be like her eldest son, showing her filial piety and letting her squander it.
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun looked at the ten gemstone rings on Xie Qingyi's hand, all of which were the latest models.
Grandpa said that once he loosened his control over them, they would become extremely extravagant, squandering money like water and ruining the Zhan Group. Sure enough, Grandpa was right.
Zhan Xuekun said disdainfully, "Zhan Yanxun, did you see those ten gemstone rings on Mom's hand? Look how happy she is. It's not that I'm criticizing you as the older brother, you're just too rigid?"
We're family, why do you listen to Grandpa so much? You only give Mom a tiny bit of pocket money each month, we're barely making ends meet. Do you think Mom was happy before?
Xie Qingyi laughed heartily, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Zhan Xuekun.
Zhan Xuekun said with increasing pride, "Now that I'm the president of the Zhan Group, things are different. I'm determined to give Mom a more enjoyable life. And you, you're my brother. Even if I'm no longer the president of the Zhan Group, I won't let you end up working as a security guard. If you call me 'Big Brother,' I'll let you return to the Zhan family and guarantee you a life of wealth and luxury for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyi hurriedly said, "He's your older brother, so you should call him 'elder brother' right away. Don't embarrass yourself here when you return to the Zhan family. This is an opportunity he's giving you, so you must seize it."
Zhan Yanxun ignored Xie Qingyi and sneered, "The Zhan Group is going to collapse. How can you guarantee me a life of wealth and honor for the rest of my life? You can't even protect yourself."
Zhan Xuekun had only been president of the Zhan Group for a few days, and with power in his hands, he felt incredibly proud, as if the whole world belonged to him. Now, Zhan Yanxun had dared to provoke him at this crucial moment, which infuriated him.
Zhan Xuekun said angrily, "Mom, look at him saying such things again. He'd love for the Zhan Group to go bankrupt. Does he even consider himself a member of the Zhan family anymore? Does he even consider me his older brother?"
Xie Qingyi comforted Zhan Xuekun, saying, "You are the eldest brother. He is immature, so don't get angry with him. The purpose of our visit today is to get him to come back with us and not embarrass the Zhan family by working as a security guard here."
"Mom, you're right. If it weren't for the fact that he's making a fool of himself as a security guard here, I really wouldn't bother talking to him here."
After Zhan Xuekun finished speaking, he said to Zhan Yanxun, "Zhan Yanxun, even though you were rude to us, Mom and I still forgive your ignorance. Now come with us, don't embarrass yourself by being a security guard here!"
Zhan Xuekun was imperious and domineering, while Zhan Yanxun remained calm and composed.
"I earn money through my own hard work, what's shameful about that?"
Zhan Xuekun said angrily, "Zhan Yanxun, you really are hopeless. Look at what you're wearing, a shabby security guard uniform. You're a member of the Zhan family, working as a security guard here, do you know how people will laugh at us?"
Zhan Yanxun raised an eyebrow slightly and said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"
What business is it of his what others laugh at them?
Zhan Yanxun's words infuriated Xie Qingyi and Zhan Xuekun. Xie Qingyi said angrily, "Zhan Yanxun, how can you say it has nothing to do with you? It's because you're working as a security guard here that people are laughing at me and your older brother."
Tell me, did you encounter that woman who threatened you and forced you to work as a security guard here, just to embarrass the Zhan family? How could you be so foolish as to let her threaten you?
Xie Qingyi was furious. She felt that her son must have been threatened, which was why he was working as a security guard here.
It must have been Jiang Qianhui who threatened him. That woman is absolutely despicable; she must not let her get away with this!
Upon hearing Xie Qingyi's words, Zhan Yanxun's eyes turned cold.
"I volunteered to be a security guard here, so show some respect to Jiang Qianhui!"
Zhan Yanxun actually said that he was doing it voluntarily and told her to show respect to that woman, which almost made Xie Qingyi furious.
Zhan Xuekun accused, "Zhan Yanxun, you are the second young master of the Zhan family. You have been pampered since childhood. Would you voluntarily come here to be a security guard? What a joke! How exactly did that woman threaten you? Or is it that you, the high and mighty second young master of the Zhan family, suddenly want to be a sycophant and come here to be a security guard in order to win that woman's favor? Do you even want to pursue that woman?"
Xie Qingyi was so angry that her head was buzzing.
