From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Pah!” Master Zhai spat in contempt at Wei Qirui’s face: “Who do you think you are? How dare you make those remarks about the matriarch of the Zhai family? Do you really think I’m blind or something? Do you really think I need someone to evaluate my granddaughter-in-law? Furthermore, what’s wrong with her? She’s perfect! Tch, go somewhere else to be blind. Stop sprouting random excuses in front of me.”

Wei Qirui did not know what to reply.

“‘I’m telling you right now that I’m giving a chance for my grandson to show off to his fiancee! If not, I would have dealt with you a long time already. Thankfully, I’m old now. My temper has gotten better. If not, the Wei Group wouldn’t even have any bones left by now!”

After a torrent of comments from Master Zhai, Wei Qirui was thrown out of the Main Zhai Residence.

After he was thrown out, Master Zhai commented: “If my legs were good, I would have kicked him out myself! Tch, who does he think he is? How dare he cause trouble for Yiling?”

Then, Master Zhai turned to his assistant and said: “Make all the companies under the Wei Group close down within a month. Don’t worry about the cost. Make everyone know what happens if they dare to cause trouble for the matriarch of the Zhai family!”

After Wei Qirui left the Main Zhai Residence, he was trailed by a group of people.

They trailed Wei Qirui for quite some time. Finally, when there was no one near him, they dragged Wei Qirui into an alleyway.

“Let go! Let go! Who the hell are you guys? Do you guys know who I am? I…”

Wei Qirui’s eyes stared at the people in front of him. He realized that he knew of them.

One of them was the man who had thrown Wei Qirui and his bodyguards into the swimming pool on Jian Yuncheng’s birthday.

The other few also seemed to have appeared at Jian Yuncheng’s birthday party.

“What do you guys want?” Wei Qirui asked nervously.

Just Jian Yiheng alone was enough to make him nervous.

Jian Yiheng, Jian Yichen, Jian Yumin, and Jian Yujie stared fiercely at Wei Qirui.

“Didn’t you try to slander our sister’s name? Where is that attitude now?” Jian Yichen laughed demonically.

Then, he walked forward and grabbed at Wei Qirui: “It seems as though you’re quite capable. How dare you slander my sister’s name?”

“What… What are you guys planning to do? It’s against the law to hit people!” Wei Qirui stammered out.

“Against the law?” Jian Yichen repeated. However, he was not intimated at all. Instead, the smile on his face became even wilder: “Do you want to report this matter to the police? If so, go ahead. I want to see whose crime is more severe! After all, you embezzled your company’s money a short while ago, no? So tell me, which crime is more severe?”

If the Wei Group fell through, Wei Qirui would lose his company. However, his personal assets would not be lost.

Therefore, he transferred part of the company’s money into his private account.

He assumed that he had dealt with the matter seamlessly. He did not expect the Jian brothers to catch on so quickly.

“You guys… You guys…” Wei Qirui stammered with widened eyes. His eyes were filled with panic.

“So, it’s up to you to make a decision. You can take a beating from us or you can be locked up in jail,” Jian Yichen smiled. It was a smile that looked harmless at first glance.
