Chapter 1007 Xiao Wenbo's Hatred
Xiao Wenbo and Ye Boxiong were from the same era. Even though they ascended to the position of family head one after the other, the time difference was only a few years. Naturally, the two knew each other well and were very familiar with each other.
However, Xiao Wenbo was a reckless and arrogant person, and in Ye Boxiong's eyes, he was a joke. He looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
This is also one of the reasons why he has always looked down on the Xiao family and even despised Xiao Ran.
Unexpectedly, the Xiao family has suddenly encountered a major crisis. Xiao Wenbo has been exposed to a shocking scandal. Not only was he betrayed by his second wife, but more importantly, his two most beloved youngest sons are not his biological children.
He was cheated on by his wife and still ended up raising her son.
As the head of one of the three great families, to have such a scandal is an utter disgrace. He has no face to remain in the position of family head. Otherwise, he will only bring endless shame to the entire Xiao family.
As expected, after the scandal was exposed, the Xiao family quickly changed its leader. Xiao Wenbo was directly dismissed, and his son Xiao Yuanqing smoothly took over.
With Ye Boxiong's shrewdness, he could see through it at a glance: Xiao Wenbo's scandal was no accident, but a carefully planned conspiracy, and someone was deliberately targeting him.
He first suspected Xiao Yuanqing, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Xiao Yuanqing was kind and benevolent; he would never do such a ruthless thing.
There must be someone else behind it all.
At first, he didn't think of Madam Xiao. Madam Xiao was always low-key and never flaunted her talents.
But he soon noticed something was amiss. After Xiao Wenbo was removed from his position as head of the family, the Xiao family not only dismissed him from his post, but also placed him under house arrest, almost depriving him of all his personal freedom.
Ye Boxiong immediately concluded that this matter was definitely not the work of external forces.
His informants in the Xiao family quickly reported back that since Xiao Wenbo's downfall, Madam Xiao had officially stepped into the limelight, and she was in charge of many important matters of the Xiao family.
Ye Boxiong suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but admire Madam Xiao, even looking at her with new respect.
This woman is so patient, yet her methods are so clever and ruthless.
It's likely that she had known all along that Xiao Wenbo's two sons from his second wife were not his biological children. For twenty years, she had kept quiet about it until the time was right, when she suddenly struck to suppress the second wife's family and expose the true identities of the two children.
A woman with such a temperament is truly terrifying.
Ye Boxiong even suspected that Xiao Wenbo's two sons from his second wife were not his biological children, and that it was Xiao's wife who had interfered. Otherwise, given the courage of the woman from the second wife, she would never have dared to give birth to someone else's children.
"No matter what, the engagement and marriage between the Ye family and the Xiao family must not go wrong in any way, lest we become a laughing stock!"
Ye Boxiong's mind was racing, but he immediately ordered that security be strengthened and all suspicious persons be thoroughly investigated. Once Xiao Wenbo's whereabouts were discovered, he should be apprehended immediately.
Under Ye Boxiong's arrangement, the atmosphere throughout the capital and even inside the Capital Building became more tense and solemn.
On the main street, vehicles whizzed by, and police sirens blared.
Checkpoints were set up at every intersection around the Imperial Capital Building, and every vehicle entering or leaving had to undergo strict questioning and inspection.
Inside the building's lobby, groups of plainclothes bodyguards patrolled the crowd, their sharp eyes scanning every corner.
"What happened?"
"Why is the capital suddenly under such tight security after the Ye and Xiao families got engaged?"
"Is something going to happen?"
……
Doubts quickly arose among the crowd.
"The Xiao family found out so quickly?"
Guo Qiu and Chen Qi quickly realized something was wrong and were shocked.
The two had handled the situation perfectly, thinking they could buy themselves some time. But by the time the Xiao family found out, the engagement ceremony had already begun, and Xiao Wenbo had already taken to the stage to perform.
But I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.
Fortunately, following Zhou Renjie's instructions, they had already given Xiao Wenbo a makeover. Except for his limp, which could not be concealed, he was no longer recognizable as Xiao Wenbo.
"You wicked woman, and that unfilial son, you actually want to kill me, sending so many people to arrest me?!"
Xiao Wenbo looked at the bodyguards patrolling back and forth in the crowd. Many of them had a fierce look in their eyes. His heart tightened suddenly, and he instantly understood the Xiao family's intention: they wanted to kill him.
If discovered, he will be captured on the spot, and his life may even be in danger.
Even if they survive, they will be imprisoned for life with no hope of ever getting out.
At this moment, his hatred for Madam Xiao, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Yuanqing reached its peak.
"I will never let you go, and those old bastards too!"
If I can regain the position of family head, I will make you wish you were dead and condemn you to eternal damnation!
Even if it's that rebellious son Xiao Yuanqing, I will never forgive him!
Even if it means I have no descendants, I will not hesitate!
Xiao Wenbo was both shocked and frightened, and kept cursing viciously.
There is no kinship in the royal family!
Even though they are not like royalty, these top-tier families still have intricate relationships, and everything is based on interests.
When interests clash, husbands and wives cease to be husbands, wives and fathers, and sons and sons.
As the old saying goes, in royal and aristocratic families, there is no room for kinship.
Time flew by, and soon the auspicious time for the engagement ceremony arrived.
Although it was morning and the sun was shining brightly, the Imperial Capital Tower, a giant glass tower with its entire exterior transparent, had all three thousand smart glass panels on its exterior walls simultaneously turned to a fully transparent state. The entire building seemed to be woven from light, shimmering and dazzling.
This scene drew gasps of amazement and admiration from countless people outside.
The Imperial Capital Building has never been as dazzling and radiant as it is today.
At the same time, a banner of light and shadow suddenly appeared above the Imperial Capital Building, with a line of large characters clearly displayed: Congratulations on the marriage between the Ye and Xiao families! Congratulations to Ye Haitao, the young master of the Ye family, and Xiao Ran, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, on their marriage! May they be forever united in heart and soul!
These few words, just over twenty, hung high in the sky above the hundreds-of-story Empire State Building, shining brightly.
Even under the bright sunlight, it was still dazzling and dazzled the eyes of everyone in the capital.
Most importantly, this light and shadow did not flash by, but remained suspended in the air.
At this moment, all eyes in the capital were focused on the Imperial Capital Building, and countless exclamations rang out.
"This congratulatory message is absolutely stunning and dazzling!"
"Is this the grandeur of a marriage alliance between top-tier families?"
"This congratulatory message of just over twenty characters must have cost tens of millions, right?"
……
At the same time, a platform slowly descended from directly above the lobby of the Imperial Capital Building!
This hall is not a single-story structure, but a giant space that is ten stories high.
On the dazzling platform, two figures stood, and the guests in the hall exclaimed in surprise: "That's Ms. Sun Mengxi, the top radio host in the capital, and also the number one host in the country!"
Who's that male host next to me? And he's blond!
"Who else could it be but York David, the world's top presenter!"
"Wow, the Ye and Xiao families truly live up to their reputation as two of the three great families. They even invited a world-class celebrity to host their engagement ceremony!"
Screams erupted from the crowd instantly.
The platform slowly descended, and a clear and resonant male voice echoed throughout the hall: "Today is the engagement banquet of Xiao Ran, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and Ye Haitao, the young master of the Ye family. It is an honor for Miss Sun Mengxi and me to host it!"
Congratulations to Ms. Xiao Ran and Mr. Ye Haitao on their marriage! May they be united in heart and soul forever!
I believe that from this day forward, history will forever remember the marriage between these two families…
The speaker was York David.
To everyone's surprise, this world-class host speaks fluent and standard Mandarin!
