Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Xu Yang returned to the hospital.

He knew that Wei Yongxiong was only waiting for death.

By then, he would be able to have Huayang Real Estate take over Wei Yongxiong's projects.

Although it cost a bit much to poach people, taking Wei Yongxiong's projects would ensure no loss.

Moreover, by buying up all the building materials in the province and even reserving next year's stock, the market price was sure to rise; this method of stockpiling could possibly lead to a huge profit.

The next day.

Xu Yang continued to keep Zhao Yuxin company in the hospital.

Even though Zhao Yuxin had not yet woken up, Xu Yang would still stay by her side whenever he was free.

Soon, the doctor came for a round of checks.

After the examination, he said that Zhao Yuxin would be able to wake up tomorrow.

Hearing this news made both Xu Yang and his parents very happy.

The doctor left after giving a few more instructions.

Xu Yang called his father-in-law to share the good news.

A day passed in the hospital.

As dinner time approached, Ma Yangrong's call came through.

"What's up?" Xu Yang stepped out of the ward to answer the phone.

"President Xu, we've noticed that Wei Yongxiong is still making moves," Ma Yangrong said.

"Oh? He hasn't given up hope? Is he still trying to struggle at death's door?" Xu Yang raised an eyebrow.

He had always instructed Ma Yangrong to keep an eye on Wei Yongxiong's movements and to report back if there was any news.

"Yes, he's been seeking help all day," Ma Yangrong said.

"Did he find anyone?" Xu Yang asked.

"He approached many people in Jiangcheng, but since it was against you, they didn't want to help. Later he reached out to a tycoon in the provincial city," Ma Yangrong said.

"Who is it?" Xu Yang narrowed his eyes.

"Named Huang Weicheng, the third richest man in the provincial city, you must have heard of him, right?" Ma Yangrong said.

"I've heard of him. And he's willing to help Wei Yongxiong? How?" Xu Yang asked.

"He probably wants to mediate between you two; if nothing goes wrong, Huang Weicheng should be calling you soon," Ma Yangrong said.

"Alright, I'll wait. Let's see how he proposes to make peace," Xu Yang said.

After a few more words, they ended the conversation.

No sooner had he hung up than his phone rang again.

It was a strange number, and one from the provincial city at that.

"Is that Huang Weicheng calling?" Xu Yang muttered to himself before answering the call, "Hello."

"President Xu, hello, I am Huang Weicheng from the provincial city," Huang Weicheng introduced himself.

"So it's President Huang. What can I do for you?" Xu Yang asked indifferently.

"President Xu, what are you saying? Can't I call you if there's nothing urgent?"

"I have immense admiration for your capabilities,"

"In just a year's time, you became a billionaire, truly an unprecedented feat,"

"I am overjoyed that our province has produced such an outstanding young talent like you," Huang Weicheng showered with commercial flattery.

"President Huang, you're making me blush with your words," Xu Yang said.

"President Xu, I am just stating the truth. Now, when people mention your name, everyone gives a thumbs up," Huang Weicheng said.

"President Huang, I've got some things to handle. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," Xu Yang was not in the mood to hear Huang Weicheng's flattery.

"President Xu, I actually do have something," Huang Weicheng said.

"Go ahead," Xu Yang replied.

"Well, I've heard that you have some conflicts with Wei Yongxiong from Jiangcheng. Wei Yongxiong approached me, asking me to mediate with you to see if we could resolve the differences between you two."

"Here's what I think: we are all people of the business world, and it is better to settle disputes than to foster enmity. If possible, I hope you can put aside grudges and make peace."

"That wouldn't just benefit you but also Wei Yongxiong and our province's business community."

Seeing that Xu Yang was about to hang up the phone, Huang Weicheng stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Director Huang, the issue between me and Wei Yongxiong started because Wei Yongxiong provoked me; the root cause lies with him. The situation has developed to a point where there is no longer any possibility of shaking hands and making peace," Xu Yang said.

"Director Xu, no matter how things have developed, there is always a possibility to make peace, it just depends on whether you are willing," Huang Weicheng said.

"Then I am not willing. Since Wei Yongxiong has done what he did, he must bear the corresponding responsibility. If I weren't somewhat capable, my company would have likely gone bankrupt and closed down," Xu Yang stated bluntly.

"Director Xu, I still hope you would consider my suggestion," Huang Weicheng's tone was no longer so kind.

"Director Huang, I'm sorry, but I really can't consider your opinion on this matter," Xu Yang said indifferently.

"Are you saying that you refuse to give me face?"

Huang Weicheng was the third-richest person in the province, and not many people refused to show him respect when he spoke.

He'd mediated conflicts like this before, and people usually gave him face.

Initially, he thought that this would be an easy task.

Resolving this matter would earn him a 20% share of Wei Yongxiong's company.

Given the size of Wei Yongxiong's company, a 20% stake was worth forty billion.

That was the mediation fee Wei Yongxiong had agreed to pay him.

But unexpectedly, Xu Yang had refused.

This was literally depriving him of making money.

Beyond that, it was a snub to his face.

"Director Huang, we didn't know each other before. You call me up and expect me to show you respect and agree to a settlement—I'm afraid that's not something I can do. If he wanted to take down my real estate company, me taking down his company is quite reasonable, right?" Xu Yang said.

"Reasonable, but now that I'm involved, let's just let this go, shall we?" Huang Weicheng said.

"Sorry, I can't just let it go," Xu Yang shook his head.

"It seems you truly have no intention of giving me face. Do you know what the consequences are of not giving me face?" A cold light flashed in Huang Weicheng's eyes. Find your next adventure on empire

"What consequences?" Xu Yang asked with a cold laugh.

He was not afraid of Huang Weicheng. What did it matter if he was one of the top three wealthiest in the province?

If Huang Weicheng was going to cause trouble for him over Wei Yongxiong, he would certainly not hold back.

"Just wait, you'll find out soon enough!"

With a cold laugh, Huang Weicheng hung up.

He immediately called Wei Yongxiong.

"Director Huang, how did it go? Is Xu Yang willing to reconcile?" Wei Yongxiong asked eagerly.

If they couldn't reconcile, then he was truly done for.

That was why he was willing to give Huang Weicheng a 20% stake.

Compared to being ruined, giving away a 20% stake didn't seem like much.

"He's not willing!" Huang Weicheng said irritably.

"What, not willing? Does that mean I'm finished?" Wei Yongxiong felt his head buzzing.

Today, he had been on the phone constantly, reaching out for help, but everyone he found was unwilling to assist.

In the end, only Huang Weicheng was willing to help.

He had thought that with Huang Weicheng, the third-richest man in the city, stepping in, he could reconcile with Xu Yang.

To his surprise, Xu Yang was unwilling to make peace.

Then he truly had no other options.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Don't worry. With me here, you won't have any problems!" Huang Weicheng said.

"Director Huang, you mean…" Wei Yongxiong's spirits lifted.

"Hmph, that young upstart Xu Yang even dared to refuse me! He really doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. If I don't teach him a lesson, I might as well not be the third richest man in this city. I will make sure he's in enough pain to agree to reconcile with you," Huang Weicheng snorted coldly.

By doing this, he was not only looking to acquire 20% of Wei Yongxiong's company but also to vent the frustration of being refused by Xu Yang.

"Director Huang, if you take action, you're sure to bring Xu Yang to his knees!" Wei Yongxiong became excited.

It seemed he had indeed made the right move by turning to Huang Weicheng.
