Chapter 1290: Why Are You Still Not Making Any Moves?

Liang Zixuan gently rubbed her temples as she felt a headache coming on. She couldn’t help but scoff in her heart. How many people had she offended? She had just gotten into trouble, but already many people wanted to pull her down from the altar. 

When the paparazzi who had helped Liang Zixuan publish the press release saw this, he finally could not sit still and took the initiative to call her.

“Goddess, what the hell is this? Why are you still not making any moves? If you don’t attack now, you won’t be able to return to Imperial City!”

Liang Zixuan burst out laughing. “Why can’t I return?”

“Haha … Do you think with your image now, when you return to Imperial City now, you won’t be surrounded and pelted with eggs?”

“That’s fine then.” Liang Zixuan smiled and brushed her bangs, “Eggs are very expensive now. Let them throw those eggs. I will collect them, take them home, and cook them for my son.”

“Damn, you’re so arrogant!” The paparazzi rolled his eyes and nearly passed out from anger. He slowed his breathing and said seriously, “Goddess, if you don’t explain this matter now, it’ll be difficult to explain it later. Don’t say I didn’t remind you. The brains of netizens aren’t ordinary. As long as they have made up their minds about one thing, they won’t believe it even if you spout nonsense and throw evidence in their faces. They just think you’re trying to protect yourself.”

“I know.” Of course, Liang Zixuan understood this big principle, but she didn’t care what others thought. She only wanted to kill Hou Zexian in one fell swoop.

She didn’t want him to have any thoughts about her anymore!

At home, the shares of Moutai Group had been plummeting for several days. Hou Shihong was as restless as an ant on a hot pan.

“That evil son!” Hou Shihong slammed the report down on his desk and his face turned white.

“Does he know what he has done? I’ve warned him more than once. Stay away from Liang Zixuan! Why couldn’t he listen to me?”

The secretary stood there in silence. He had to bear the wrath of Hou Shihong. His words stuck in his throat and he was so afraid that he didn’t dare to say anything.

Hou Shihong looked at the secretary. “If you have something to say, then say it. Don’t choke yourself to death!”

“B-boss Hou…” The secretary retracted his neck and whispered, “I just received the news that the two companies that originally collaborated with us have already… given the orders for the next quarter to our competitor companies. Also… they want to cut off all cooperation with us.”

When the Moutai Group was in the hands of Hou Yingyi, they suffered a huge loss. No new customers wanted to cooperate with them, and they were also on the brink of danger with old customers.

Although the Moutai Group wasn’t among the best in the industry, it was still okay for them to be among the top five. Now their old customers were running away one by one, coupled with the fact that their stock had plummeted; everyone started to abandon them.

At the moment, the Moutai Group was like a small plant standing in a storm. If the wind blew stronger, they could be defeated by the storm.

Hou Shihong suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He raised his hand and held his chest. Then he took a deep breath and exhaled. However, the pain still hadn’t gone away.

Just then, the marketing manager knocked on the office door.

Hou Shihong looked at the door and said weakly, “Come in.”

The marketing manager came in and looked at the secretary. He then looked at Hou Shihong.

“Boss Hou…” He coughed softly to make his voice softer. “Ten minutes ago, the only big customer we have left has already proposed to terminate our contract. We broke the contract rules first, so they’re not obligated to compensate us. We only have a few small customers left. Right now, the company is already in a difficult situation. All the goods that were stored in the factory can no longer be sold. ”

“What?” Hou Shihong’s eyes suddenly widened as the pain in his chest suddenly reached a peak. A gush of blood and Qi surged through his chest. And finally, he could not hold on any longer. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

“Boss Hou!”

“Boss Hou!”

The secretary and the marketing manager ran to support him.

Hou Shihong’s face was as pale as a piece of paper and his eyes looked lifeless. He covered his chest and cried loudly. “My Hou Clan that has been around for decades ruined just like that…”

Before he could finish his words, he closed his eyes and fainted on the spot.

After Yu Meilin received the news, she ran to the hospital like a madwoman. Hou Shihong was in the middle of emergency treatment. She knelt down in front of the emergency room door and prayed, “Bodhisattva, please do your best. Let my husband escape from this calamity. I beg You ….”

As the saying goes, good people do not live long, but disasters live for thousands of years.

Of course, Hou Shihong did not die that easily. Although he was old and had suffered a heart attack because of Hou Zexian, he was still mentally strong.

After wandering around the gates of the dead, he came back to life.

Yu Meilin looked at him lying weakly on the hospital bed, crying. “How did our Hou Family become like this? We used to be fine, but in the blink of an eye, everything went away just like a gust of wind. Since when did our luck start to deteriorate? What has happened to our family?”

Yu Meilin didn’t understand. Although the Hou Family was not as powerful as the Han Family, they could still be considered rich people.

In the first half of her life, she did not have to worry about everything. Everything was going well, but why were there so many problems in the second half of her life?

As for her two sons, they used to be good children. Although Hou Yingyi was a bit clumsy, but he was still a young man with good manners. Hou Zexian was a bit introverted and didn’t like to talk much, but he also won’t get into any arguments.

But now, Hou Zexian seemed to have contracted a severe disease. He did not want to forget Liang Zixuan even though they had reprimanded him fiercely.

Is this the end of their Hou Family?
