Chapter 168 The Old Mother of the Problem Girl (27)
In the top-floor office of the magnificent and luxurious Zhang Group headquarters building, a suffocating atmosphere of despair is quietly spreading.
At this moment, Xin Zhu was like an ant on a hot pan in desperate situation, pacing back and forth in the spacious room anxiously.
Her originally pretty face was now filled with haggardness, and her eyes were bloodshot, a shocking red.
Her right hand tightly grasped a mobile phone, which was the last straw in her life.
His fingers quickly pressed a familiar string of numbers - Liu Xu's phone number, and repeated this action again and again.
However, every time she heard the endless busy tone, it was like fate was mercilessly ringing the death knell for her.
Zhang Muyuan, who was sitting behind the large desk, also had an anxious look on his face. His deep eyes revealed a fierce light of desperate struggle.
He stared at Xin Zhu who was restless in the room, and his inner torment was no less than hers.
"Liu Xu, why don't you answer my calls? Are you really going to watch us go to our doom? You can't just stand by and watch us die!"
Xin Zhu finally couldn't help but scream at the top of her lungs into the phone. Her voice was filled with obvious tears and a barely perceptible tremor.
Because she deeply understood that in such a difficult and harsh situation, perhaps only Liu Xu could be the only lifeline to save herself and the entire Zhang Group.
However, the cold and merciless busy tone was like a basin of ice water, ruthlessly extinguishing the tiny flame of hope that had just been ignited in her heart.
Zhang Muyuan seemed to be possessed by a demon at this moment. At the moment when the Zhang Group was crumbling and on the verge of despair, his sanity completely collapsed and he fell into madness.
His originally elegant face was now distorted into a hideous form, his eyes were bloodshot, like burning flames.
The veins on his forehead bulged, each one looking like it was about to burst. He looked like a ferocious beast that was completely enraged, trapped in a cage and had nowhere to vent.
In an instant, he rushed towards Xin Zhu like an arrow from a bow, and his surging momentum was to ruthlessly tear all obstacles in front of him into pieces.
During this rush, his hands were waving irregularly in the air, as if he was fighting a desperate battle with the invisible god of doom.
"You idiot! You're a complete idiot!"
His roar was like a surging tsunami, instantly breaking through the originally oppressive silence in the room. The sound waves surged in the air like sharp blades, shaking people's eardrums so much that they almost burst.
At the same time, his finger, which was trembling with extreme anger, stabbed Xin Zhu's nose like a sharp steel needle. His body leaned forward so much that he almost covered Xin Zhu with his gushing anger.
The finger was shaking violently in the air, and it was about to pierce Xinzhu's face in the next second.
Xin Zhu was frightened by the sudden roar that was like a bolt from the blue. She trembled all over and subconsciously staggered back a big step. The heels of her high heels made a harsh sound on the smooth ground.
However, the flame of unwillingness and stubbornness in her heart was instantly ignited by the raging anger, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and it quickly burned fiercely.
Her eyes widened instantly, staring back at Zhang Muyuan intently, her eyes filled with burning anger and endless grievances, as if she wanted to devour Zhang Muyuan whole.
Then, she clenched her hands into fists quickly, with such great force that her palms seemed to be crushed. Her knuckles turned a chilling bluish-white color from the excessive force, as if they were about to break through the skin.
"What are you yelling about? Who do you think you are? How could I have known things would turn into this mess? The root of all this is you, secretly instigating me from behind. Your Zhang Group keeps asking me for money. Every other day, you keep talking about investment. If I hadn't gotten into Xintian, how would I have the money to invest in you? Now, when there's a problem, you're pushing it all onto me. Do you have any shame?"
Xin Zhu's voice became sharp and piercing because of anger, like an arrow piercing the night sky.
Outside the door, Secretary Sun once again confirmed that the door of the chairman's office was closed.
The quarrel between this couple was really brutal!
He is just an employee, so it’s better not to get too close to him!
He shrank his neck, letting the workstation completely block him.
"I instigated you? Hahahaha..."
Zhang Muyuan laughed out loud as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
The laughter was full of mockery and despair, and the muscles on his face were violently twisted and deformed by anger, like a mask cursed by the devil.
He laughed hysterically and swung his right arm with all his strength.
"It's clear that you were blinded by greed and lust, and your desire for profit has reached its peak. For those pitiful, insignificant selfish desires, you resorted to all means to torture Xin Tian, and even colluded with that foolish and selfish Li Yanghuan to plot those shameful and ugly deeds. Didn't you torture Xin Tian before we got married?"
Zhang Muyuan was so angry that he spoke quickly and urgently, sounding like a machine gun, bang bang bang, sweeping across.
"Open your eyes and take a good look at this horrific situation. You've wrecked the Zhang Group, leaving its stock price plummeting like a kite with a broken string. Partners are withdrawing their investments like they're avoiding the plague, and employees are in a state of panic, like frightened birds. All of this is caused by you, the culprit. And you still dare to argue with me?"
Xin Zhu's lips trembled violently, like fragile leaves in the wind, and her eyes were instantly filled with angry tears.
The tears welled up in her eyes, almost bursting out, but it was not because of grievance, but because of magma burned to boiling point by the flames of anger.
Suddenly, like a mad lioness, she took a big step forward, and her fierce steps made the ground tremble slightly.
Then, she raised her right hand high and slammed the desk in front of her with all her strength. There was a loud "bang", like a thunderclap, and the documents on the desk scattered to the ground like frightened butterflies, swirling in the air.
"Don't be so pretentious here. Do you think I don't know your little tricks? If you hadn't agreed to my plan, would I have had the chance to do this? You just wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Xin Tian and take her property for yourself. Now, you've lost more than you gained. What qualifications do you have to blame me? Well, we grew up together, so let's not accuse each other of innocence!"
"You are totally unreasonable! You are a lunatic!"
Zhang Muyuan was so angry that his hands were shaking violently and uncontrollably, as if he had Parkinson's disease.
He was burning with rage and wanted to rush up and give Xin Zhu a hard slap to wake her up.
He raised his right hand high, and his palm quickly drew an arc with the breath of death in the air, bringing up a terrifying gust of wind, as if to suck away Xinzhu's soul.
However, at the critical moment when the palm was about to fall, his reason was like a faint flash of lightning.
It flashed through his chaotic mind, and he barely managed to grab the out-of-control arm, causing it to remain suspended in the air for a few seconds before falling down helplessly.
The drooping arms were like puppets with broken strings, losing all vitality and energy.
"I want the Zhang Group to grow and prosper. But, I never imagined you would resort to such despicable, shameless, and outrageous means. What do you regard family affection as? You treat Xin Tian so cruelly. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment and retribution?"
"Retribution? Humph!"
Xin Zhu sneered, and that laugh was like a cry from hell, eerie and terrifying. It kept echoing in the empty room, hitting the walls, and it was creepy.
She folded her hands in front of her chest and swayed her body slightly. Her posture seemed to be mercilessly mocking and scornfully provoking Zhang Muyuan, saying how childish, ridiculous and extremely stupid his ideas were.
"In this cruel and ruthless world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can dominate everything and survive. Xin Tian is just too weak and can be bullied. People like her deserve to be plotted against by us. However, she has suddenly become smarter recently. Well, if it weren't for this, everything in the Xin family would have been mine long ago!"
"You're still being stubborn! You stubborn idiot! Let me tell you, Liu Xu isn't even answering your calls now. What does that mean? It's all irreversible. If I were you, I wouldn't be arguing here. If you have the energy, why not go to Liu Xu's house? Maybe you can still have a chance of survival."
Zhang Muyuan spoke with gritted teeth, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth with great difficulty, filled with endless hatred.
Xin Zhu was struck hard by Zhang Muyuan's words, as if a bolt from the blue struck her heart.
A sharp pain suddenly spread in her heart, as if a cold and sharp dagger pierced deeply into her heart. The sharp pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She stood there blankly, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and pain.
She loved Zhang Muyuan, and this love had taken root in her heart since childhood.
Since she was a child, her heart and eyes have been filled with Zhang Muyuan.
In her heart, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and such feelings should be the purest and most beautiful existence in the world, just like crystal clear without any impurities, precious and indestructible.
She had imagined countless times in her mind the beautiful picture of their life together, looking forward to the happy times in the future.
However, until today, the cruel reality was like a heavy hammer, shattering all her fantasies.
Only then did she wake up from her dream. It turned out that behind this seemingly beautiful relationship, there were so many calculations and conspiracies.
While she was plotting against Xin Tian, wasn't Zhang Muyuan also secretly planning how to plot against her behind her back?
Walking on the road, driving, and on the long journey to Liu's house, her mind was like a spinning top that had lost control and could not stop at all. All kinds of thoughts kept surging like a surging tide.
Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, throbbing with pain, a pain that went deep into her bones.
Only by forcing myself to think about other problems and how to save this desperate situation can I temporarily forget the bone-eating pain caused by Zhang Muyuan's scheme.
She knew clearly that things had fallen into an endless dark abyss and reached an irreversible desperate situation. It was like a lonely boat that had lost its direction in the vast ocean with raging winds and torrential rains. It could only drift helplessly in the turbulent waves and was about to be completely swallowed up by the overwhelming waves.
But the obsession in her heart that refused to fail was like an oil lamp swaying in the wind, about to go out but still flickering tenaciously, giving her a weak but invaluable support in this dark and desperate moment.
She couldn't help but think of the unforgettable moment just now.
She glared at Zhang Muyuan fiercely, her eyes filled with determination and resentment, then turned and strode towards the door. Her high heels made a series of rapid and chaotic sounds on the ground, just like her panicked yet determined heartbeat at the moment.
