The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Liang Yuansheng frowned, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "Okay." Was it true that there were no plane tickets available, or was someone deliberately causing this?

Liu Xin leaned back in the seat, her palms sweating profusely.

"Give me your phone." Liang Yuansheng held out his hand.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Call Pingyin and ask about the company's situation." After all, it was a company he had built up over many years, so he still held onto a sliver of hope that someone could lend Liang's a hand at this critical moment.

When Liang Pingyin was mentioned, Liu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes darted around, hesitant.

Liang Yuansheng frowned: "What's wrong? Pingyin can't get through? Or has something happened?"

"Yuansheng, can you control your temper and not get angry after I tell you this?" Liu Xin said. Ever since Liang Yuansheng fainted in front of her last time, she seemed to have changed instantly, no longer speaking so incoherently as before.

Liang Yuansheng frowned more and more deeply; "Has Pingyin not returned to Haicheng?" So that's why Liu Xin didn't let him call his assistant earlier, afraid that if he asked his assistant, she would find out?

Liu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her eyes and nodded, saying, "Yes." She added, "I only found out today when I asked Auntie."

Liang Yuansheng's breathing quickened, and he flew into a rage: "That rebellious daughter!"

Liu Xin quickly reached out and placed her hand on his chest, stroking him to help him catch his breath.

At the same time, in the apartment, Yao Yingxi had just finished cooking and was standing in the living room, about to call Xi Yuanchen, when the door rang.

She put down her phone and hurried over. Just as she was about to open the door, Xi Yuanchen pushed the door open and came in.

Because he didn't know Yao Yingxi would be standing at the door, he pushed the door open with a bit too much force.

"Ah!" Yao Yingxi, who was standing at the door, was caught off guard and hit her forehead with the door, letting out a groan of pain.

Xi Yuanchen was startled and quickly came in to close the door.

Seeing Yao Yingxi standing in front of him, covering her forehead, he frowned: "Don't stand at the door next time." As he spoke, Xi Yuanchen reached out and touched Yao Yingxi's face.

Yao Yingxi lowered her hand, looked up, shook her head, and smiled: "It's nothing. Why so late? Was there traffic?"

"I ran into Liang Pingyin at the company entrance just now. Be careful when you go out these days," Xi Yuanchen answered truthfully, worried that Liang Pingyin might do something obsessive.

Yao Yingxi nodded and replied, "Okay." Actually, there was no need to worry. She had several bodyguards behind her. What could Liang Pingyin do in her current state?

But just in case, she still kept Xi Yuanchen's words in mind.

"How is Liang doing now?" She hadn't paid much attention to the news online all day, nor had she looked at it much.

"The Zhao family has withdrawn their investment and is now in financial danger. Because of Liang Pingyin's matter, several banks have started to urge the Liang family to repay their debts." Yao Yingxi has already started learning management, so Xi Yuanchen will not hide this from her or worry that she will not understand, unlike before.

"I remember Liang Pingyin's father was in the hospital, wasn't he? You just said she stopped you, didn't she go back?" With such a big thing happening to the Liang family, it's a bit hard to understand why Liang Pingyin and her family of three are still in Yuncheng.

"Yes, the Liang family is currently without anyone in charge, causing widespread panic," Xi Yuanchen said as he took off his coat.

"If you want a piece of the Liang family's meat, you can take this opportunity to make your move."

Xi Yuanchen put down the clothes, stepped forward and took her hand: "No need to separate."

Yao Yingxi was surprised. In her view, the business world is like a battlefield. At this time, many people would probably choose to do the same if they were to make a move against the Liang family.

Xi Yuanchen reached out and took her hand: "Let's eat. Don't worry about this, it's okay."

Yao Yingxi nodded.

The two walked toward the kitchen when Xi Yuanchen's phone suddenly rang. He withdrew his hand and took the phone out of his pocket.

Seeing that it was Anan calling, and not caring that Yao Yingxi would hear what Huo Si had said, he immediately swiped to answer: "What is it?"

"Boss, the people over there are already in contact. Also, I just received news that Liang Yuansheng has just been discharged from the hospital and his wife has booked a plane ticket for tomorrow."

“Liang Yuansheng can’t stay in the hospital any longer.” Xi Yuanchen’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Have someone keep an eye on him and let me know if he makes any moves.”

Standing beside him, Yao Yingxi remained silent. Xi Yuanchen hung up the phone and continued to hold Yao Yingxi's hand.

……

Liang Yuansheng and Liu Xincong got out of the car and returned to the apartment, where the housekeeper was cooking.

Hearing the noise, they quickly came out of the kitchen and saw Liu Xin and Liang Yuansheng. They were both surprised and said, "Sir, Madam, why are you back?"

"Where is Miss?" Liang Yuansheng entered with a cold face, went straight to open Liang Pingyin's room, and asked when he found it empty.

"When I came back, Miss was no longer home," the maid replied tremblingly.

Liang Yuansheng frowned more and more deeply, walked to the sofa, picked up the apartment phone and dialed a number.

"Should I call you, Sleep?" Liu Xin asked.

"Call and see where that rebellious daughter is. She has to come back to Haicheng with us right now. Staying here is just making a fool of herself."

Liu Xin remained silent.

Liang Yuansheng dialed the number, but no one answered. He frowned. Liu Xin stood beside him, looking at Liang Yuansheng with worry and urgency in her eyes.

After dialing several times without getting an answer, Liang Yuan angrily put his phone back where it was.

"Is no one answering?"

Liang Yuansheng raised his eyes and glared at her before getting up from the sofa.

The maid hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Madam, sir, I've prepared dinner, you..." She was just about to deliver the food to the hospital when she didn't expect Liang Yuansheng and Liu Xin to have returned.

"Don't eat."

Liu Xin quickly said, "Let's go to the restaurant to eat later." As she spoke, she followed Liang Yuansheng, who was walking towards the study.

When they were just checking out of the hospital, the doctor hesitated several times because Liang Yuansheng's emotions were not stable and his blood pressure was still high. If he were to be stimulated in the next few days, he would be in danger.

When Liu Xin heard Liang Yuansheng say that he wasn't going to eat, her heart skipped a beat. Remembering what the doctor had said, she quickly chased after him.

In the study, Liang Yuansheng rummaged through the drawers. He remembered that he had left his phone on the table before he went to the hospital. Where was it now?

Liu Xin pushed the door open and came in. Liang Yuansheng asked, "Isn't my phone in the study? Did you have someone put it away somewhere?"

"Oh, isn't your phone on the TV cabinet in the living room?" Liu Xin said, pointing outside.

Liang Yuansheng emerged from behind his desk, hurrying to leave.

Liu Xin said, "If you want to call someone, eat and take your medicine first. Your blood pressure is still a bit high."

Liang Yuansheng ignored Liu Xin and walked towards the door.

He has no appetite right now, he doesn't know the current situation of the company, and he doesn't know Liang Pingyin's situation either. Everything is a mess.

Seeing that Liang Yuansheng ignored her and left the study, Liu Xin chased after him.

Liang Yuansheng took out his phone and dialed his secretary's number, but the call was answered after a long time.

The secretary on the phone seemed to have found a lifeline: "Chairman, the bank has come to collect the debt. I've been calling you all day and no one has answered."

"I'll go back tomorrow. You stabilize the situation first and let your people do what they're supposed to do." When Liang Yuansheng heard about the bank pressing for debt collection, he was only slightly surprised, not shocked. It was as if he had expected it all.
