Second Brother Xu gazed at Guo Qiyu with no patience and asked, "No matter what, she’s your wife, and she’s carrying your child. Are you really willing to let her take such risks?"
Guo Qiyu chuckled coldly, "Second Uncle, save it. You’ve seen how close Xu Mengyan is with Zhang Yang; they’re practically about to end up in the same bed."
"This time, I just want to make Xu Mengyan give up."
"Therefore, letting Xu Mengyan lure Zhang Yang; no matter what, Zhang Yang wouldn’t harm Xu Mengyan."
"As long as we succeed in taking Zhang Yang out, I will make it up to Xu Mengyan later."
Second Brother Xu listened and found no issue with it.
If Xu Mengyan was defending Zhang Yang against him, he’d have been outraged a long time ago.
He knew what Guo Qiyu was thinking; he probably wanted to eliminate Zhang Yang right in front of Xu Mengyan.
This is a common flaw among men: proving one’s prowess in front of their woman.
"Regardless, Xu Mengyan is carrying your child, so it’s best to be cautious. I’ll figure out how to get Xu Mengyan on board."
Guo Qiyu was delighted to hear this, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
Second Brother Xu warned Guo Qiyu, "After this matter, I hope you behave better going forward. Stop making the same foolish mistakes. The child is about to be born, don’t waste your efforts on other women."
Although Second Brother Xu had great opinions about Xu Mengyan, she was still his niece.
After this matter, he still had to get along with his brother’s family, so it was necessary to give this kid a bit of a warning.
Guo Qiyu was dismissive in his heart but sincerely showed on the surface.
"Don’t worry, Second Uncle. I was just momentarily foolish before; it won’t happen again."
This response left Second Brother Xu somewhat satisfied.
Then they discussed the most discreet plan before everyone dispersed.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhuang went with Xu Mengyan to a room where he finally saw his wife, whom he hadn’t seen for days.
Xu Zhuang said guiltily, "Honey, I’m here to see you. Are you still mad at me? I’ve prepared a gift for you, an emerald I bought from the auction yesterday."
However, Mrs. Xu was unmoved, "I heard you are now getting along quite well with that kid?"
"You must have forgotten how that kid took advantage of me and nearly forced me, haven’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuang quickly said, "Of course not! This kid is definitely going to get a harsh lesson from me later, but I have to hold off for now."
"This time, Zhang Yang caused great trouble for the Guo Family. No idea where this kid found a hacking expert to actually break into the Guo Family’s system."
Xu Zhuang couldn’t help but be amazed while talking about this.
The more they targeted Zhang Yang, the more they realized his prowess.
He was fully aware of what had happened at the photography contest before.
In that situation, Zhang Yang managed to escape unharmed, which was remarkable, especially his feat of taking on hundreds single-handedly; this is beyond being an expert, just too formidable.
And the hacker who could breach the Guo Family’s internal system was even more astonishing; this is not something an average hacker can accomplish, it would require a large team.
Xu Mengyan roughly knew who did it, but at this moment, she opted to keep silent.
Currently, Xu Mengyan’s stance is clear: staying neutral, waiting for the outcome to reveal itself.
At this time, Xu Zhuang said to Xu Mengyan, "Daughter, please wait outside for a while, I need to have a good talk with your mom."
Mrs. Xu replied with irritation, "I have nothing to say to you right now. Let’s talk after things settle; whatever I say now, you’re not going to listen to anyway."
Yet, Xu Zhuang gave Xu Mengyan a knowing glance, unwilling to let her parents continue in conflict, so she obediently left the room, allowing them some time alone.
After Xu Mengyan left, Xu Zhuang shamelessly hugged his wife.
"Don’t be mad, can’t you give me some face in front of the child?"
Mrs. Xu’s eyes instantly reddened with grievance, "Give you face? Is your face that important? Your wife’s body was taken advantage of by that scoundrel."
"And almost forcibly so, where does your wife’s dignity sit? Your dignity to be placed? If you truly cared about your dignity, you wouldn’t continue cooperating with them."
Xu Zhuang said helplessly, "What can I do? Things have escalated to this point; should I let Zhang Yang ruin my brother’s family?"
"Certainly, we were at fault first, but what Zhang Yang did was too ruthless, too cruel."
"Xu Qiangsen’s limbs were flown away, turning him into a cripple, and my brother’s legs were broken; how can I not seek revenge for this?"
Mrs. Xu looked at her husband, her expression darkening, knowing that no matter how she tried to persuade, it would be useless.
Yet, thinking of her daughter’s pregnancy by Zhang Yang, if Zhang Yang really ended up dead, then what?
"Husband, tell me, if you win in the end, what do you intend to do with Zhang Yang? Is killing him your plan?" Mrs. Xu aimed to probe first.
Xu Zhuang froze upon hearing this; he hadn’t really thought about it but judging by Second Brother Xu’s look, it was evidently aimed at Zhang Yang’s life.
He consentingly accepted this point as the enmity between them has reached the point of no return.
But saying this to his wife now was inappropriate, or if Xu Mengyan heard it, could create more trouble.
"Just don’t worry about this; I’ll see it through to the end."
Xu Zhuang’s attitude let Mrs. Xu understand fully that the conflict may indeed lead to fatal consequences.
Mrs. Xu was now aware of Zhang Yang’s capabilities.
Mrs. Xu’s heart was conflicted; whether Xu Zhuang harmed Zhang Yang or Zhang Yang harmed Xu Zhuang, ultimately, the pain would be felt by her daughter.
After a moment of hesitation, a grave expression covered Mrs. Xu’s face as she held Xu Zhuang’s hand and asked, "Have you thought about why our daughter is standing by Zhang Yang ?"
"What else could it be? Even a fool can see through this; clearly, our daughter is attracted to Zhang Yang." Xu Zhuang said helplessly.
"Since you’ve noticed, have you thought about whose child our daughter is carrying?"
Xu Zhuang’s face dramatically changed, staring at his wife in shock.
