Chapter 807: An Unworthy Wife Ruins Three Generations
The security didn’t drive them away; those middle-aged women just loitered at the entrance of the Group, and finally, they had to call the police to handle it.
But that’s not the most disastrous thing. At the same time as Gong Yu’s scandal continued to ferment, an even more explosive piece of news was spreading online: Gong Yu was suspected of having contracted a sexual disease.
The source of the news is supposedly an "insider," claiming Gong Yu has been frequenting the hospital recently, and that the dermatology and urology doctors all know him.
As soon as this news came out, the Gong Family not only lost face, but more importantly, the stock price plummeted, it was truly a case of being followed by misfortune.
Investors sold off their stocks in droves, and in just half a day, Gong Group’s market value evaporated by tens of billions.
"Patriarch Gong is such a decent person, how could he have a son like this!"
"It’s said Young Master Gong is the patriarch’s only son; having such an inept son, the Gong Family is bound to decline sooner or later."
"Who made Gong Yu so arrogant? He deserves this outcome; he might as well die of the disease."
When the Gong Family’s scandal broke out, most people were gloating, eager to see the Gong Family in trouble. After all, the Gong Family is a big juicy piece of meat; if they collapse, they could carve up part of those resources.
Meanwhile, inside the Gong Family villa.
The atmosphere in the living room was so tense, it felt like the air was about to drip with water.
Gong Jian sat at the head seat, his face no longer showed his usual gentleness and elegance, replaced by livid and somber expressions.
Before him lay a pile of photos, all of which depicted his son in intimate moments with those women, each one unbearably indecent, making his temples throb.
"Beast! You don’t have any shame, but our Gong Family does! It’s one thing for you to mess around normally; how could you do something so disgraceful!"
Gong Jian’s emotions surged, he raised his hand and slapped him twice hard.
"Didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile recently? Gong Group has a major project; you secretly sneaked out to find women, and that’s one thing, the company’s PR department could say you were dating, but you chose women older than your mother!"
"Your mother and I have pampered you since childhood; why would you have such peculiar tastes!"
Gong Jian trembled with rage, he was always composed and introverted, but now he couldn’t suppress it.
Prominent figures in the family sat nearby, looking discontentedly at Gong Yu, along with several high-level executives of the Group who were present, after all, this issue concerned their vital interests, and they had to step in to find ways to salvage the situation.
"Dad, I was framed! Those photos are fake! The person in them isn’t me!"
Gong Yu was kneeling on the ground, his face swollen, tears and snot streaming down.
His eyes were red and aggrieved; last night, he planned to have a fling with a woman at the club, but his last memory was at the hotel. Somehow, he ended up with that group of older women.
He might be a lecher, but it’s impossible for him to be attracted to such wrinkled older women, what the hell is going on!
"Fake?"
Gong Jian sneered and drew a photo from the table, throwing it in front of him, "I had them verified this morning, all the photos are real!"
"I’m your father, can’t I recognize your face?"
"Do you know how much Gong Group’s stock price dropped because of your petty mess? My lifelong reputation ruined by you, how could I raise such an ungrateful son!"
Gong Yu stared at the photo with his face on it, his face pale as paper, lips trembling, unable to say a word.
Everyone felt furious, speaking one after another: "Young Master Gong, your normal mischief influenced the Group’s reputation; we turned a blind eye, but this time you’ve gone too far!"
"The impact is far too severe; the project was already in the preparation phase, and now, because of this, it’s stalled, causing the Group a massive loss!"
"Chairman, you must give us an explanation; we’ve been implicated for no reason, it can’t just end like this!"
Everyone glared angrily at Gong Yu; they no longer cared about Gong Jian’s feelings, they had to express their thoughts.
Gong Jian always treated his subordinates well, taking a deep breath, he said: "This time Gong Yu really went too far, as his father, I failed to educate him properly. I apologize to everyone, I hope you’ll give him a chance to amend his ways."
"Chairman, this is not the first time; we’ve tolerated it before, but this time is exceptional!"
"We’ve discussed it and decided to issue a statement, cutting ties between Gong Group and Gong Yu. He won’t inherit the company in the future; only then can the public be reassured. Otherwise, if someone like him takes over the Group, it’ll be finished sooner or later."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Gong, Yan Lizhu, exploded, shouting sharply: "Are you all insane? Xiaoyu is our only son; if he doesn’t inherit the company, who has the qualification to inherit it?"
She looked at her son kneeling on the ground, heart aching, hurriedly stepping forward to help Gong Yu up, shouting loudly: "Yu’er is right, he’s definitely been framed! Instead of finding out who the mastermind is, what’s the point of targeting him?"
With Yan Lizhu backing him up, Gong Yu, who was like a beaten eggplant just a moment ago, suddenly became emboldened, glaring at those people angrily and cursing: "You bunch of small-minded people! Trying to force me out of the Group? No way!"
"Don’t think I don’t know your intentions; you just want me out so you can seize power, do you? Once I take over the company, I’ll kick you old cronies out!"
"Shut up, you insolent fool!"
Gong Jian yelled angrily, raising his hand to slap Gong Yu harshly again.
Originally, Gong Yu was already extremely weak from last night and kneeling earlier, his body was feeble, and this slap directly knocked him to the ground.
"Ah! Xiaoyu!"
Yan Lizhu screamed, rushing over to hug Gong Yu, tears of heartache flowing freely.
She lifted her head and roared at Gong Jian: "He’s your own son, how can you be so ruthless!"
At this moment, Gong Jian’s chest heaved with fury, indeed, marrying a bad wife ruins three generations. This wife is a brainless fool, once, he felt at ease living with such a person, after all, Yan Lizhu is straightforward, without scheming.
Now he’s discovered their child is also a fool. Even if there’s dissatisfaction in his heart, he can’t express it publicly, now everyone knows Gong Yu’s intentions; originally they might have given Gong Yu a chance for his sake, but now absolutely won’t relent.
Gong Jian thought this son was excessive in indulgence, scattering his brain, and if this continues, he’ll eventually die on a woman’s bed.
"A mother’s indulgence leads to her son’s ruin! Gong Yu has become like this because you coddled him!"
"Dad! You just know how to hit me! All they do is blame others when things go wrong, what else can they do, now it’s just a project that’s stalled, and they want me cut off from the Group, they’re all a bunch of ingrates!"
