The Xia family had just contacted the Gu family to discuss the sale of the Xia family's land, but Xia Haolin suddenly received a courier package. The package was sent directly to his mistress in a small villa in the suburbs of the South District.
Ever since he received the call, Xia Haolin's right eyelid has been twitching wildly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Because of the incident with Xia Ruya's mother, he was very careful whether he was playing with women or keeping mistresses outside, and he had never been discovered over the years.
Could it be that the matter was discovered
Xia Haolin suddenly broke out in cold sweat and even his breathing became difficult.
Thinking about the identity of the mistress, he felt overwhelmed. If the Chen family knew about this, the friendship between the Xia and Chen families would be ruined. He was afraid that...even his in-laws would not be saved.
The Xia family cannot afford to lose the Chen family as a marriage partner now, let alone lose the Chen family's support.
And... the Xia family is in this situation now, and cannot allow any more scandals to spread, otherwise the Xia family will be doomed.
Xia Haolin's mind raced. He immediately got the car and went to the villa in the suburbs. He took the package and did not dare to stay in the villa for even a second before leaving in a hurry.
Xia Haolin returned to the Xia family with the package and hurried into the study.
After locking the door, he opened the package without further ado. The package was only the size of an adult's palm. The smaller it was... the more suspicious one would be about what was in the package.
When the package was opened, Xia Haolin opened the box inside. When a photo came into his eyes, he was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair. He quickly closed the box and ran to the door to check if it was locked. Still not sure, he pulled the curtains around it tightly.
After doing all this, he leaned back in his chair as if he was exhausted.
He picked up the photos and looked through them one by one. All of them were large-scale photos. His hands were shaking and cold sweat broke out on his face.
When the last photo came into view, there was a huge line of words written on it: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
Xia Haolin was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
At this time, Xia Haolin's cell phone rang. The ringtone of the cell phone sounded particularly dull and weird in the sealed study. Xia Haolin's heart trembled, and then he took out his cell phone.
The incoming call displayed on the phone was from the wealthy businessman from other place who was negotiating with him about the Xia family selling the land. He hesitated for a while and then answered the call.
Boss Li's voice came from the other side: "Hey! Brother Xia, what do you think about the land of your Xia family? Brother... Let me tell you the truth, this price is not low. I can guarantee that no one can afford my price anymore."
Xia Haolin quickly put on a smile and replied, "Boss Li, I know you've always been interested in the Xia family's land, but my dad is in charge of the land, and I can't get involved! Look... We've been friends for such a long time, how have I ever let you down?"
Boss Li was very generous and it was obvious at first glance that he was very wealthy. The price he offered for the land was also very tempting, but the Xia family wanted to sell the land to the Gu family and establish a relationship with them at the same time, so they had to give up on Boss Li.
Boss Li said with a smile, "Brother, don't lie to me! I heard that your Xia family has been in contact with the Gu family recently. You want to sell the land to the Gu family? And get in touch with the Gu family at the same time!"
Xia Haolin was speechless. He didn't expect that Boss Li was such a shrewd man and could actually see through the Xia family's thoughts.
Boss Li laughed and said, "Brother! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you, the Xia family, are really short-sighted. The Gu family is not a family that you can get close to whenever you want. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. If you, the Xia family, want to open a high-end shopping mall, isn't that against the Xia family's taboo?"
"And... I heard that the Gu family and the Wen family have a close relationship. Look at the launch of the Wen family's Ai Shang product this time. Without the Gu family's strong support, would the launch have ended so perfectly? Your Xia family has completely offended the Wen family because of Xia Ruya. If I'm not mistaken, the Xia family's current situation is more or less due to the Wen family's hand."
After hearing this, Xia Haolin was confused. He had never thought of this.
Boss Li continued, "What good can the Xia family get from selling the land to the Gu family? The Gu family is not easy to deal with. Do you think you can afford to offend the black and white people? I'm afraid that by then, you won't catch the fox, but will get yourself into trouble."
Xia Haolin calmed down and said, "I have to thank Boss Li for his advice, but... I really can't make the decision about the Xia family's land..."
Xia Haolin felt that what Boss Li said was very reasonable and thought that this matter needed to be carefully considered. There were many people in Beijing eyeing the Xia family's land, and even if they didn't sell it to the Gu family, they could find other buyers.
Boss Li laughed sinisterly: "Brother Xia, please stop talking to me in official language. It was not like this when you drank, ate meat and played with women with me."
Xia Haolin panicked, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Boss Li, that's not what I meant. As the saying goes, even if the sale fails, there is still righteousness!"
Boss Li was so angry that his laughter turned gloomy: "Brother Xia, don't be shameless. How is your little mistress in the suburbs? A few days ago, I bought you a batch of props for playing with women. How are you... Did you have fun? Is your little mistress still alive?"
Xia Haolin was completely stunned. He stared at a photo on the table and asked in a trembling voice, "Photo... Did you send the photo?"
Boss Li laughed out loud: "The photo is great! You have been playing with women for so long, but you have never played with taking photos! How is it? Isn't it exciting?"
Xia Haolin's face darkened, and he cursed at the phone: "Fuck you."
He never expected that Boss Li would be so despicable and shameless as to use these photos to threaten him into submission.
Boss Li laughed proudly: "Don't be angry, brother Xia! I just want the land of the Xia family. As for your secret, I have no interest in exposing it. As a man... I can always understand some of the needs of men..."
Xia Haolin took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Why should I believe you?"
Since Boss Li can do such a despicable thing as taking photos and threatening others, there is nothing he can't do.
Boss Li said, "Oh! Brother Xia, I am sincere. We have known each other for such a long time, how could I harm you?"
Xia Haolin gritted his teeth and said that he would not harm him, so who was harming him now? But... At this point, he had no room to refuse. With the handle in the hands of others, he was controlled by others everywhere.
Boss Li was still chattering.
Xia Haolin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's meet at Jiayuan Club tonight."
