Chapter 252: Extra 2 (18)...This Wave is Secure
When Xu Hengzhou received the call, he was in a meeting. As the ringtone echoed in the room, the entire conference room instantly fell silent. The management team of the Xu Group present at the meeting all looked indifferent as if the call had nothing to do with them. Internally, they were all grumbling about who dared to leave their phone un-muted while the big boss was conducting the meeting.
However, when Xu Hengzhou took out his phone and gestured for a pause in the meeting, many people wore expressions of disbelief.
You see, back when this young Mr. Xu hadn't completely taken over the top position and the old Mr. Xu was still listed as a director, he wouldn't even answer his father's call during meetings. Although it happened only once, it left a lasting impression on everyone.
Now that the young Mr. Xu had dropped the "young" and even ousted the old Mr. Xu directly from the board of directors, it was clear that in the Xu Group, Xu Hengzhou's word was law. No one knew who had the ability to make him pause the meeting to take a call.
The management team of the Xu Group perked up, wishing they could eavesdrop on the mysterious caller's conversation with Xu Hengzhou.
Unaware of his subordinates' thoughts, Xu Hengzhou was also taken aback when he received a call from Xiang Chen. Normally, during work hours, Xiang Chen would be reluctant to disturb him and would only send a message if there was something urgent. This was the first time he had called, so Xu Hengzhou prioritized answering the call.
Xiang Chen's voice sounded somewhat unstable over the phone as if he were running. Between breaths, he said, "Brother, A'kai messaged me. He said Zhuo Jie told him that Xiang Tao was coming back to catch them cheating. The drama is about to unfold on Xiao Lu's end. I'm rushing over there now, just wanted to let you know."
Xiang Tao was Xiang Chen's scumbag father. After indulging in the pleasures of life for several months, he suddenly realized that his backyard was on fire, and it seemed like his wife was enjoying some "wild grass" outside.
Men like Xiang Tao, how could they bear to wear the cuckold's hat? Moreover, their family situation was extremely complicated. When Xiang Chen's stepmother, Luo Hui, married Xiang Tao, they didn't sign any prenuptial agreement. It wasn't very common back then, as not every marriage was headed towards divorce.
At that time, Luo Hui still had her own job, so Xiang Tao didn't think much about it. But not long after they got married, Luo Hui resigned under the pretext of not being able to take care of two children. Although Xiang Chen was soon kicked out afterward, Luo Hui didn't return to work.
Later, Xiang Tao was promoted and received a raise. In his view, as a successful man, his wife should be a full-time housewife, so he didn't suggest she go back to work. It means that he alone supported the family later on.
To be honest, Xiang Tao had some ability. Xiang Chen's mother was a campus beauty, although her health was not good and her family background was ordinary, she was still good-looking. Apart from not being prone to tears, she had a bit of Lin Meimei's temperament. There were countless boys chasing her in school, including some wealthy second-generation individuals.
Xiang Tao was able to stand out from the many suitors not only because of his decent appearance when he was young but also because of his abilities. Of course, it was also because he genuinely liked Xiang Chen's mother.
