Zhang Yi-Zhu's brother scolded her furiously over the phone.
It was an unexpected catastrophe!
It was the first day of the new year, so the Zhang family happily commenced their annual gathering to celebrate New Year's Day.
No one expected this bad news to fall into their lap!
The head of the Xu family, Xu Lei, came together with many powerful forces to completely seal off all paths for the Zhang family overnight.
All the powerful families who were close to the Zhang family started to avoid them like the plague.
The Zhang family's businesses also suffered major losses too.
Their partners cut off funding for over 100 of their projects.
Their share prices went into a free fall, and
billions of dollars evaporated into thin air.
The Zhang family didn't know what hit them at first and only knew that Xu Lei was behind it.
The Zhang family called on Xu Lei when things got hopeless.
Then the Zhang family finally realized they were implicated by the Meng family in Jiangdong.
He was calling precisely to ask his younger sister about this.
But he didn't expect this idiotic little sister of his to be clueless about the trouble she had caused and even kept talking about declaring war on Mr Chu.
"Declare war? What bloody war? And you even want me to help? You fools have already gotten the Zhang family into major trouble. Do you know that all the important families in Yanjing have banded together to punish the Zhang family? Our stocks have hit rock bottom, and billions have evaporated into thin air within 30 minutes!
The bank refuses to loan us money, and all our partners have withdrawn their funds. My old classmate even called to warn me to run. You've completely devastated the Zhang family's 80 year old foundation, you unfilial daughter!"
What?
"How...how can that be?"
Zhang Yi-Zhu's brother's words hit her like bolts of lightning and exploded in her mind nonstop.
She was completely stunned while a tsunami surged in her heart.
She didn't expect that the Meng family's actions could implicate the Zhang family miles away in Yanjing.
But how could it be?
No matter how powerful Ye Fan was, he merely controlled Jiangdong.
How could he have the power to threaten the Zhang family?
How could he be the King of Yanjing?
Zhang Yi-Zhu was overwhelmed by the information and felt as though her brain just short circuited.
But her older brother's fury remained unappeased as he scolded her sternly, "Zhang Yi-Zhu, if the Zhang family gets destroyed by you, how are you going to face our parents after you die? How are you going to face the Zhang family's ancestors? You dumbass! After committing such a huge mistake, you can't make up for it even if you die! Just stay home and behave! Our brother will be there soon. Gather those fools from the Meng family and go with him to apologize to Mr Chu. Or else, all that awaits you is death!"
He slammed the phone down.
Old Madam Meng stood petrified and went into a daze.
After a long time, her body swayed as she staggered before she fell onto the ground.
Mom!"
"Granny!"
"Are you okay?"
"What happened?"
Everyone was shocked to see their matriarch scared out of her wits.
