The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Matthew Zhang was fleeing in panic just as Robert Xiao walked in, followed by his sister Barbara Xiao and her fiancé, Daniel Wang.

Next to Daniel was a young man dressed in luxurious attire who bore a slight resemblance to him.

Seeing Matthew, Robert quickly said, "Hey, Matthew! I heard something big happened to your family just now. Is it true?"

Matthew, looking utterly despondent, pushed him away and muttered, "It's over, it's all over..."

Robert asked with concern, "Matthew, what's going on?"

Matthew shook his head in terror, not daring to say a word. He had no doubt that if he said anything he shouldn't, he might end up dead in the street by tomorrow.

So, Matthew broke free from Robert's grip and ran out in a daze.

Watching his retreating figure, Robert sighed, "Looks like the Zhang Family is really done for. Damn, that was fast! They were fine yesterday, and today they're bankrupt!"

Then, Robert noticed James Ye and Mary Xiao, and a malicious thought crossed his mind. He quickly called out to Mary, "Mary, let me introduce you to this distinguished guest. This is Daniel's cousin, Eric Wang, the eldest son of the Wang Family."

"Eric , this is my cousin, Mary Xiao," Robert introduced with a sycophantic smile.

From the moment he walked in, Eric Wang's eyes had been fixed on Mary. Hearing the introduction, he immediately extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mary. I've long heard of the Xiao Family's famous beauty, and today I see it's true."

A flash of displeasure crossed James Ye's eyes. Having a beautiful wife was a double-edged sword; he was constantly swatting away suitors like flies.

He quickly extended his hand, shaking Eric's firmly, and said coldly, "Hello, I'm Mary's husband."

"You?" Eric looked James up and down with disdain, then withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "I didn't realize Mary was already married. What a waste of a beautiful flower on a pile of dung..."

Barbara quickly chimed in, "Eric, this loser married into our Xiao Family. He has no job and no skills!"

She then gave Eric a meaningful look and said, "Eric, once I marry Daniel, we'll all be family. We should definitely keep in touch."

Eric understood her implication—she was encouraging him to pursue Mary. He smiled and said, "Mary is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal. I'd be more than happy to keep in touch."

At that moment, James saw his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Ma, and father-in-law, Christopher Xiao, approaching.

Elizabeth hurried over to Mary and said, "Mary, have you heard? The Zhang Family is bankrupt!"

"What?" Mary asked in surprise. "When did this happen?"

"Just now!" Elizabeth sighed. "I thought that after you divorced James, you could be with Matthew. But now it seems impossible..."

James felt quite frustrated. Was his mother-in-law an idiot? Didn't she realize that her current son-in-law was the real catch?

Seeing Elizabeth, Eric quickly approached and introduced himself, "You must be Mary's mother. Hello, Auntie. I'm Eric Wang, Daniel's cousin. You are so beautiful; no wonder you have such a lovely daughter."

Elizabeth's eyes lit up upon hearing that Eric was the eldest son of the wealthy Wang Family. She warmly said, "Yes, I'm Mary's mother. Are you friends with Mary?"

Eric nodded and smiled, "Yes, we just met today."

Elizabeth beamed with joy and said, "Everyone, find a place to sit. Don't just stand around. Young Master Wang, our Mary is not only beautiful but also pure and virtuous. You young people should spend more time together..."

"Mom!" Mary called out in displeasure, stopping her mother from saying more.

Elizabeth was about to say something when Mary pulled her aside, reminding everyone to pay attention to the stage.

Old Madame Xiao was already standing under the spotlight.

She looked around excitedly before stepping up to the microphone with a smile. "First, on behalf of the Xiao Family, I would like to welcome all our friends and partners to our banquet."

"Next, let's welcome Vice Chairman Margaret Wang of Dihao Group."

The spotlight shifted to the front row.

Margaret Wang, dressed in a black evening gown that accentuated her perfect curves, looked like a celestial being under the lights. Every man in the room couldn't help but focus on her.

Dihao Group's Vice Chairman! A rare beauty! Each of these titles was enough to draw everyone's attention.

Margaret stood up and nodded slightly towards the crowd. Her gaze lingered on James Ye for a moment before moving on.

Old Madame Xiao continued, "Today, I want to thank Dihao Group for entrusting us with such an important project. The Xiao Family will do everything in its power to live up to Dihao's trust."

"Secondly, we want to introduce a distinguished young member of our Xiao Family. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to secure this partnership with Dihao. After careful consideration, we've decided to appoint him as the Director of Xiao Group, responsible for our collaboration with Dihao Group!"

Elizabeth excitedly said, "Mary, it's your turn to go on stage!"

Although Mary was prepared, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

James gave her an encouraging look.

Robert Xiao watched Mary with a sneer on his face.

Old Madame Xiao's gaze also fell on their table, smiling as she spoke.

"Let's welcome the new Director of Xiao Group, Robert Xiao!"

Mary froze in place, unable to believe what she was hearing. She looked to the side and saw Robert walking up to the stage with a smug expression.

James's eyes turned cold.

What a classic case of using someone and then discarding them!

The Xiao Family had used Mary and then immediately cast her aside, without any regard for her feelings!

Mary's eyes reddened, tears welling up.

She stood up and ran towards the door without looking back.

For her, the joy she felt when she arrived was now replaced by utter despair.

James watched her leave, his expression growing colder.

Bullying my wife? Are you looking for trouble?

At that moment, Robert stood on the stage, proudly saying, "Thank you for the company's trust. I will do my best as Director and ensure the perfect completion of the project entrusted to us by Dihao Group!"

Old Madame Xiao nodded in satisfaction and took over the microphone. "This banquet has one more important announcement. We are honored to have the new Chairman of Dihao Group, Mr. Ye, with us tonight! Please give a warm welcome to Chairman Ye!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

Everyone had come tonight to see the new Chairman of Dihao Group!@@novelbin@@

Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of him!

People whispered among themselves, trying to guess who would stand up at this moment.

Some even speculated, "I suspect the mysterious Chairman of Dihao Group is the same super tycoon who caused a stir at Emerald Pavilion online!"

"I think so too! That super tycoon's silhouette looked unfamiliar, definitely not someone from Jinling!"

"Oh my god! If that's true, then the Chairman of Dihao Group is now the most powerful tycoon in Jinling!"

"I can't wait to see his true face!"

Amidst the intense applause and countless eager eyes, James Ye suddenly stood up with a cold expression...
