Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: It’s this person who messed with me
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up for parking downstairs.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin got out of the car and, in unison, called out, “Dad, Mom!”

Xu Yang then introduced Zhao Hai, who followed them out of the car, “Dad, Mom, this is Yuxin’s father.”

“Nice to meet you,” Zhao Hai greeted with a smile.

“Very good, welcome.”

“Please have a cigarette first.”

Jiang Qiuping nodded with a smile and reached out to take her daughter-in-law by the hand.

Xu Deming, on the other hand, stepped forward offering cigarettes.

“Sorry, I don’t smoke,” Zhao Hai waved his hand.

“Dad, my dad doesn’t smoke,” Zhao Yuxin added.

“Well, it looks like I’m the only one who smokes,” Xu Deming said helplessly, but he didn’t light up.

If nobody else smoked, it seemed inappropriate for him to puff away by himself.

After that, Xu Yang handed out cigarettes to the neighbor and then opened the trunk to help everyone carry things upstairs.

Once inside, Xu Deming made tea for everyone.

“You guys talk, I’ll go cook.”

After chatting for a while, Jiang Qiuping stood up and went to cook.

“Mom, let me help you,” Zhao Yuxin stood up and followed into the kitchen.

This time, Jiang Qiuping did not stand on ceremony with Zhao Yuxin.

When Zhao Yuxin came back for the Mid-Autumn Festival and offered her help, she wasn’t at all delicate.

When she said she would help, she truly lent a hand. Since she was already a daughter-in-law, there was no need for too much politeness; excessive formality would actually make things feel more distant.

More than half an hour later, dinner was ready.

The family happily enjoyed their meal together.

Through casual conversation, Zhao Hai and his wife got to know Xu Deming better. They were all easy to talk to, making the interaction feel natural and relaxed.

Any initial awkwardness quickly faded away.

Especially between Zhao Hai and Xu Deming, who found they got along quite well.

It was primarily because they found a common interest.

Calligraphy.

Both of them would practice at home in their spare time.

Talking about this, they exchanged some of their insights and felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

It must be said that encountering someone with a shared passion is not an easy feat.

The night passed swiftly by.

The next day was New Year’s Eve.

The family went out to buy groceries and spent the rest of the time drinking tea, playing mahjong, and chatting.

In the afternoon, the second uncle’s family of three came over.

Both families celebrated the New Year together and shared the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The men just drank tea, played mahjong, and chatted while the women prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner.

No sooner had they played a few rounds of mahjong than Xu Yang’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was a call from Xiao Dongsheng.

“Old Xiao,” Xu Yang answered the phone.

“Boss Xu, it’s bad, there’s been an incident!” Xiao Dongsheng said anxiously.

The New Year’s period was a busy time for live streamers, many of whom had not gone home for the celebration but were working overtime at the company.

Xiao Dongsheng hadn’t left either; he stayed at the company.

For those who chose to stay and work overtime, Xu Yang not only paid them according to the holiday pay scale but also gave each a red envelope containing ten thousand yuan.

He was not stingy at all, and the employees praised the boss’s generosity!

Those who had thought about leaving but stayed because of a statement made by Xu Yang were very glad they hadn’t left.

A casual ten-thousand-yuan red envelope wasn’t something just any boss would hand out.

Working for such a boss, there was no need to worry about anything.

“`

And every time there were achievements, the boss would give rewards.

Each holiday, Xu Yang was also generous with money, very practical.

Other guilds definitely wouldn’t have such benefits.

“It’s the new year, what could possibly go wrong?” Xu Yang asked.

“Boss Xu, that recently resigned Wang Ting, she released a video on her personal Douyin account, claiming that you wanted to take advantage of her; the video is blurry, but it has already gone viral on Douyin,” Xiao Dongsheng briefly described the situation.

“Huh?” Xu Yang furrowed his brow, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

He quickly realized that someone was targeting him.

A female anchor would never dare to confront a guild boss like himself, unless she was out of her mind.

If he wanted, there were numerous ways he could deal with a female anchor, even if she were with another guild.

The fact that someone dared to slander him surely meant they had a powerful backer.

Without any unexpected, it was probably the guild that Wang Ting had defected to.

Because if Wang Ting did such a thing to assist others, releasing that kind of video would certainly not be to her advantage.

Only the guild Wang Ting joined could be behind this.

Xu Yang had Zhao Yuxin take over his mahjong game, stood up, and walked to the balcony, asking, “Which guild did Wang Ting jump to?”

Xiao Dongsheng replied, “Jia Sheng Guild.”

Xu Yang continued, “Do you know who the boss and the executives of Jia Sheng Guild are?”

Xiao Dongsheng said, “The boss is a rich second generation named Chen Guanglei, speaking of which, this Chen Guanglei was also looking to acquire our previous…”

“It’s him!” Xu Yang interrupted Xiao Dongsheng before he could finish, unable to suppress his outburst.

“Boss Xu, you know this Chen Guanglei?” Xiao Dongsheng asked in surprise.

“Yes, looks like he’s the one who wants to mess with me.” Xu Yang didn’t even need to inquire about other executives of Jia Sheng Guild.

As expected, it was Chen Guanglei who was scheming against him.

Truth be told, he had met Chen Guanglei only a few times.

But Chen Guanglei seemed to harbor significant animosity towards him.

The last time they gambled on stones, along with the jade that was cut out, he had won more than ten million from him.

Chen Guanglei harbored a grudge and wanting to target him was hardly surprising.

“So, what do we do now?” Xiao Dongsheng did not ask how Xu Yang was so certain it was Chen Guanglei.

There must be conflicts between the two that he was unaware of.

Otherwise, Xu Yang wouldn’t have concluded so quickly that it was Chen Guanglei causing trouble.

These matters, Xu Yang would speak up if he wished to; if not, it was inappropriate to interrogate carelessly.

Lest Xu Yang find it inconvenient to speak and they both end up in an awkward situation.

By asking Xu Yang, he wanted Xu Yang to make the decision; some matters required Xu Yang to take charge.

If Xu Yang did not suggest any strategy to deal with it, he would follow the established crisis management system and make the corresponding response.

This question, however, truly stumped Xu Yang.

He hadn’t really thought about what to do; he lacked experience in handling such situations.

Issuing a denial would be ineffective; the onlookers wouldn’t believe him.

Even more so, the onlookers weren’t concerned with the truth; they just wanted to watch the excitement.

Unless he could produce solid evidence, the situation was definitely troublesome.

But where would he find evidence?

Just as he was about to ask Xiao Dongsheng how to proceed, a notification from the system pinged in his mind.

[Ding! The situation the host faces triggers a reward condition, awarding top-level hacking skills!]

In an instant, a flood of hacking knowledge entered Xu Yang’s mind, and he became a top-level hacker!

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

The timing of this system reward couldn’t be better.

With hacking skills, finding out who Wang Ting had recently contacted and discovering evidence would be no challenge.

Thus, after watching the video on Douyin on the balcony, he left the balcony.

At that moment, Xu Xiaoyu came running out of the kitchen, yelling, “Bro, the internet has exploded; they’re saying you took advantage of a female anchor. You didn’t do it, right?”

“`
