Chapter 52: Awakening to a Homeless Reality
Since the last conversation with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yue noticed a significant change in their relationship.
Their conversations on VX were strictly business, lacking the friendly banter they used to share.
The past experiences seemed like distant memories now.
However, with Shen Kuozhi’s help, Qi Yue found dealing with the Qi family’s plans much smoother.
Since the negative news about Qi Weixiong broke out last time, the stock of the Qi Group has been soaring.
Even though public opinion has been mostly managed, the negative impact evidently hasn’t recovered as quickly.
The Qi Group has reached a point where they need external assistance, but of course, Shen Kuozhi wouldn’t help.
If the Shen family remains indifferent, it’s unlikely that anyone from the aristocracy in the capital would lend a helping hand.
Qi Weixiong is now stressed out every day about company matters. While he can still bow and scrape to other company bosses for the benefit of his own, he doesn’t hide his bad temper at home. Despite the recent conclusion of news about his domestic violence, he continues to unleash his temper on Guo Xia and Qi Lei more and more frequently.
One night, Qi Weixiong returned home at ten o’clock to find the house completely dark.
Due to the current economic downturn in the company, Qi Weixiong had recently laid off all the household staff, leaving only the three of them in the Qi family.
Qi Weixiong hasn’t been coming home much lately, but whenever he does, he inevitably gets into physical fights with his wife and child, hurling all sorts of harsh words at them.
So when he came back to find everything pitch black, his anger surged instantly.
He couldn’t believe that while he was out there nodding and bowing to others, working hard, his family members, who did nothing but rely on him, didn’t even bother waiting for him to come home at night.
It seemed that during his absence these days, they had forgotten who the head of the family was!
Qi Weixiong punched the switch on the wall, and the light burst suddenly, flashing in his eyes, intensifying the anger within him.
But when he saw the scene inside the house, his anger surged straight to the top of his head.
Without a doubt, he was shocked to find that after just a few days of absence, the house had been emptied!
The entire villa, leaving behind only some bulky and worthless furniture, everything else had vanished.
“Guo Xia! Qi Lei! Damn it, get the hell out of here!” Qi Weixiong shouted angrily at the empty house.
But obviously, he received no response whatsoever. His enraged voice echoed through the empty house, gradually becoming eerie and chilling in this dark and silent space.
Qi Weixiong’s anger overwhelmed him, and he fainted.
It wasn’t until the next morning that Qi Weixiong was rudely awakened by someone.
“Hey, wake up, who are you?”
When Qi Weixiong was violently shaken awake, his face was pale and gloomy, looking like a ghost crawling out of hell.
“I want to know what you guys are doing in my house! You’re trespassing!”
“Huh? This villa has already been purchased by our boss, didn’t you know?”
“This is my house, are you blind?”
Qi Weixiong burst out in anger.
The workers from the renovation company didn’t bother with Qi Weixiong’s ranting and instead directly called their boss.
When they showed him the clear purchase contract, Qi Weixiong’s anger flared up again.
The contract clearly stated that the house had been sold by Guo Xia!
This house was bought by Qi Weixiong for Guo Xia after they got together to please her. Therefore, Guo Xia’s name was naturally written on the property certificate. Qi Weixiong never expected this woman to dare to sell the house privately!
Qi Weixiong immediately dialed Guo Xia’s phone number, but she didn’t pick up even after several attempts.
His patience was never good, and today, he was embarrassed in front of so many people by the woman he had once freely berated. Once he found this woman, he would definitely give her a harsh lesson and let her know what the consequences would be for disobedience.
Unable to reach Guo Xia, Qi Weixiong decided to contact Qi Lei.
He couldn’t believe his son, whom he had spoiled so much, wouldn’t stand by his side.
But when Qi Weixiong tried to call Qi Lei, he realized he didn’t even have his son’s phone number.
As Qi Weixiong was about to vent his frustration on the wall with a punch, the workers from the renovation company stopped him.
“Sir, this house now belongs to our boss as private property. Not only do you have no right to destroy it, but we also ask you to leave here immediately.”
Without waiting for Qi Weixiong’s response, the workers “escorted” him out and considerately closed the villa’s gate.
Qi Weixiong, kicked out, angrily kicked the large iron gate, only to get stuck in it unluckily.
In these past few days, all the pent-up resentment erupted at this moment, and Qi Weixiong dialed the company’s legal department.
He could tolerate others’ attitudes outside, but his own home had just played him like this. He was determined to make Guo Xia pay the price she deserved.
But Qi Weixiong’s call was destined to be futile.
“Mr. Qi, legally speaking, what Mrs. Qi did is not a problem. At most, it’s morally questionable. Even though Mrs. Qi sold the house, she still has a marital relationship with you, so the property can be considered joint property… “
“Alright, in that case, find a way to recover this money for me. Since the house has been sold, let’s use the money to replenish the company’s funds.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Qi. As long as the money is still in Mrs. Qi’s hands, we can retrieve it.”
Initially, Qi Weixiong’s anger subsided slightly upon hearing the employee’s explanation.
After all, the company was currently lacking liquidity, and it seemed inevitable that the house would be sold sooner or later given the current trend. Since it had already been sold, there was nothing much he could do.
However, when he heard what came next from the phone, the slightly calm heart of Qi Weixiong was once again lifted with tension.
“What! Are you saying that if the money isn’t in her hands, I won’t be able to get it back?”
“It depends on the situation. If the lady has spent all the money, theoretically, we won’t be able to recover it.”
This is bad!
These two heavy and ominous words jumped out in Qi Weixiong’s mind.
Since Guo Xia dared to secretly sell the house behind his back, she must have made sufficient preparations.
The probability of recovering this money seemed lower than winning the lottery.
At this moment, Qi Weixiong’s brain was spinning rapidly.
Since Guo Xia was unkind to him, he wouldn’t hesitate to be unjust to her.
The Qi Group was currently in dire straits, at a critical juncture. Guo Xia actually wanted to escape with a large sum of money. There was no way he would let her off so easily.
If he was going to suffer, then Guo Xia shouldn’t expect to have it easy either.
Qi Weixiong couldn’t let himself, in his forties, be betrayed by a woman of the world.
“Summon the head of the Public Relations Department. I’m going to hold an online meeting right now.”
Qi Weixiong held the phone to his ear with his right hand, skillfully lit a cigarette with his left hand, bent over, took a deep drag, and then exhaled smoke from his nostrils and mouth.
He had figured out how to break the deadlock.
Thanks to Guo Xia, this foolish woman, for bringing him inspiration.
This impromptu online meeting was initiated by Qi Weixiong. Due to his disheveled appearance this morning, he didn’t turn on his webcam.
As the main members of the legal and public relations departments appeared on the phone screen, Qi Weixiong had already returned to his car by then. He quickly washed his face and freshened up his breath with water from the car, then began to arrange the next steps of his plan.
“Now our company is about to embark on a game-changing strategy. You should all be aware of our company’s current situation.
“The first step is to salvage the company’s image. Recently, there have been many news articles online that are unfavorable to me and detrimental to the company. Although the heat has died down, these incidents have significantly impacted our company’s operations.
“But! Now I have come up with a way to change the current unfavorable situation. Without notifying me, Guo Xia sold the property privately. This behavior is despicable, and the Public Relations and Legal Departments should know what to do.
“Listen carefully, Public Relations and Legal Departments. I don’t care if what you write is true or false, but what I want to see after this announcement is sent out is an improvement in our image and a rebound in our company’s stock.”
Qi Weixiong laid out his plan eloquently, then took a sip of water to conclude the meeting.
Hmph, Guo Xia, oh Guo Xia, you foolish woman.
You didn’t expect that your little tricks would only lead to your downfall.
You dug your own grave.
Qi Weixiong tapped the steering wheel with his right hand, while his left hand brought the lit cigarette to his dark lips.
Now, Qi Weixiong, free from the frustration and anger of the house being sold, even felt a bit eager to see Guo Xia’s reaction when she saw the news online.
On the other side, after moving out and selling the mansion, Guo Xia and Qi Lei had gotten a large sum of money and were enjoying their lives without any worries for the rest of their lives.
“Mom, we should have done this long ago. Qi Weixiong is just a heartless monster. Instead of being verbally abused by him at home, it’s better to take his money and leave, living freely.”
Qi Lei lay on a beach chair wearing shorts and sunglasses, enjoying the relaxation he hadn’t felt in days.
After selling the house, they came abroad for vacation. Life without Qi Weixiong was truly enjoyable.
They only regretted not getting rid of Qi Weixiong’s clutches earlier.
“Yeah, Mom, you were too naive before, actually being tied down by such a rotten man. With my looks, I could have any good man I want. Hmph! Qi Weixiong doesn’t know how to cherish.”
Guo Xia elegantly sat at the bar, holding a glass of freshly made cocktail. After taking a sip, she continued, “I wonder what Qi Weixiong’s reaction will be when he finds out the house has been sold~ His expression must be priceless~”
“Hahaha~ Mom, let’s just sit back and enjoy the show!”
They shared a smile, clinking their glasses across the distance.
