Chapter 66: More Than Enough Trouble
"What did you say?!" Madam Gu stood still for a few seconds, then spoke urgently.
Madam Zhang smoothed her hair and said with a smirk, "I divorced Zhang Zhihong half a year ago. His net worth now is only around eighteen million. If you want to come after him for compensation, I advise you to do it soon. After all these years, this man has made a mess of things. Anyone coming to collect debts will probably have to look for him overseas!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu felt her vision darken.
She reached out to support her forehead as if she might faint at any moment.
"Mom! Are you okay?" Gu Junsheng spoke urgently.
"Such wickedness! Such wickedness!" Madam Gu exclaimed angrily, her face full of wrinkles flushing red with anxiety.
If what Madam Zhang said was true, it meant that even if the Gu family sued Zhang Zhihong, they would only end up dividing his meager assets.
But if his entire net worth was only eighteen million, even if they took everything from him, it would be just a drop in the bucket!
Madam Gu felt her vision darken with anger, unable to articulate her words properly.
Madam Zhang turned to look at Gu Chaoxia, her beautiful eyes unusually fierce.
Gu Chaoxia felt a burning hatred towards her, gritting her teeth, she said, "You're clearly trying to transfer assets deliberately. Even if we sue, you'll have to compensate us!"
Her words brought a glimmer of hope to Madam Gu's eyes. After all, if it involved deliberate asset transfer, they might have a chance of reclaiming over a hundred billion.
Madam Zhang waved her hand dismissively, looking disdainfully at Gu Chaoxia. "Are you trying to extort money from me? Let me tell you, Zhang Zhihong and I divorced half a year ago. Stop talking about asset transfers. Half a year ago, you Gu family didn't even know where to find us. You didn't come to Zhang Zhihong, and you have no relation to me!"
With that statement, Gu Chaoxia was left speechless.
The glimmer of hope in Madam Gu's eyes faded once again, her figure swaying as if she might faint at any moment.
Before they could say anything else, Madam Zhang coldly remarked, "You signed the contract yourselves. No one forced you. Cooperation always involves risks. You can't blame others for your misfortune."
With that, she smirked and left with her bodyguards.
As she walked away, she added, "I don't like trouble. If you want to sue, go ahead, but don't expect anyone to back you up!"
With that, she left without looking back, her demeanor fierce and arrogant.
Gu Chaoxia stood rooted to the spot, her cheeks swollen, a strong taste of blood in her mouth.
She endured the scrutinizing gazes around her, trembling with anger.
This shrew, she wasn't finished with her yet!
Before she could avert her gaze, another slap landed on her face with a loud smack.
Immediately after, Madam Gu's trembling voice roared angrily, "It's all because of you! Who let you sign the contract without my permission? You're good at messing things up!"
Gu Chaoxia staggered from the blow, but Yang Huiru quickly caught her before she fell.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Madam Gu and choked out, "Grandma, did you hit me?"
Madam Gu, still panting heavily, trembled with anger.
She turned away from Gu Chaoxia's tearful eyes, her voice cold but composed, "You and your mother went behind my back to sign such a huge deal. Now we've lost over a hundred billion, and you still have the nerve to speak!"
