The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1396 Jump Out of a Sinking Ship

The next few days felt like all hell had broken loose for Mao Qiu and her family. It wasn't only her increasingly stinky reputation that they needed to worry about. They were also forced to scramble like headless chickens to save their company, Mao Textiles. This time, it wasn't only Mingyu who was putting pressure on their company. Various forces were working together to sabotage them.

Manoban Corporation was the most notable one. And it wasn't just Lisa who made the command either. Insiders knew that even the legendary business genius, Sir Jian, came out of retirement once again to express his rage about what happened to who the old man called his "eldest great-grandbaby". One of these elite business leaders was enough to shake the entire domestic industry to its core. What more when they combined their powers? Any entity that they targeted would definitely be obliterated. And that was precisely what was happening to the Maos.

In addition, Jennie's M Holdings was also flexing its fast-growing influence in the business industry by joining in the fray. The company might still be far from Manoban Corporation regarding wealth, power and prestige, but it wasn't insignificant either. Coupled with Jennie's popularity and her fierce fans, the Black Stars, M Holdings was proving extremely dangerous to Mao Textiles.

Other hidden forces were also targeting Mao Textiles. They weren't as easy to identify as Manoban Corporation, M Holdings, and Mingyu's work, but it was clear to spectators that all these forces were pushing Mao Textiles to the brink. A few days after what Mao Qiu did to her husband's illegitimate son, Mao Textiles was forced into its last dying breath.

Inside his in-laws' home, Donghwi watched his wife and parents-in-law panicking in despair as if it was the end of the world. And in some way, it was indeed the end of the world but only for them.

He felt numb. Even when his wife, Mao Qiu, started to slap, hit, and scratch him, he stood there like a cold, unfeeling statue.

"Useless! You're a useless husband! I regret marrying you!"

Mao Qiu looked like a completely different person. She was the kind of person obsessed with her looks. On a typical day, she would take hours to get ready.

But today, she looked like a total wreck. She wore no makeup. Her hair was a dry, stringy mess. Her skin was dull, and her face was swollen due to stress and lack of sleep.

Donghwi felt disgusted just by looking at her. However, he didn't retaliate and let her vent by hitting him. His father-in-law's hair turned white almost overnight. He looked old and tired...and extremely furious at Donghwi. Even his mother-in-law, who was usually the most sensible among them, didn't bother trying to be nice to him. So what was the use of being nice when they were about to lose everything?

While the Mao family was busy blaming Donghwi for everything happening to them, the chairman's assistant arrived.

"What?!" Father Mao barked. The poor assistant looked resentful but answered, "Chairman, the company has received a formal letter from the authorities informing us that they require Mao Textiles to undergo investigations into claims of bribery, tax evasion, embezzlement within the board of directors, and labour law violations."

Father Mao's face turned ashen.

"There must be a mistake!" Mother Mao denied the allegations.

The assistant pursed his lips and just directly handed the formal letter from the authorities to Father Mao. He also included an additional note.

"Chairman, this is my letter of resignation. I quit!"

Then he left without turning back.

"This can't be happening," Father Mao muttered as he read the formal letter. His complexion worsened after reading it. "We're ruined!"
