#740 - Chapter 740 Anchoring power? A killer move that strangles the throat! Mother-in-law's Ho
“They… they're back together?” Xia Xiangyang exclaimed.
“Look closely at the content!”
“Oh…”
Xia Xiangyang nearly collapsed when he saw the content.
The post claimed that Xia Qingmo, in front of many people, begged Chen Hao to agree to share her husband!
The act was for North America's benefit, as there were spies watching.
Extensive media coverage would make North America suspicious, backfiring.
Therefore,
although there were rumors online, they weren't sensational.
Until today…
Zhong Ping inadvertently saw the post.
“This…”
Xia Xiangyang was filled with shock and anger: “What kind of behavior is this? What kind of behavior is this!”
Unacceptable!
His daughter could break up with Chen Hao, but she absolutely couldn't do something like this; he couldn't afford to lose face!
“What are you planning to do?”
Zhong Ping stared at her husband: “Make Qingmo leave Chen Hao? The face, it's already lost! Besides, with Qingmo's personality, the fact that she lowered her pride to beg can only mean… her feelings for Chen Hao are especially deep.”
Do you think she can just break up if you tell her to?
Xia Xiangyang was stunned.
Today's young women aren't like before.
She did this without regard for her reputation, which means she's made up her mind; she won't listen to me even if I say something, right?
“But…”
He gritted his teeth: “I really can't accept this kind of thing—it's absolutely forbidden in our family!”
Distorted values!
Shameful!
He didn't even know what to say.
“I saw online that the woman… is a gift from North America to Chen Hao—a gift, you understand?” Zhong Ping said.
His daughter isn't even worth as much as a gift?
“What do you mean?”
“I'm thinking, since our daughter's attitude is so firm, we probably can't change her mind. The only solution now is to squeeze that gift out.”
“But…”
“I have a plan!”
Zhong Ping revealed a confident smile, leaned close to her husband, and whispered.
Xia Xiangyang was dumbfounded as he listened.
This…
is even more twisted!
“Wife, I think… this won't work…”
“Why won't it work?”
Zhong Ping waved her hand domineeringly: “I'm going to call Qingmo!”
…
The private plane arrived in Shanghai from Shenyang.
Chen Hao was on the way back to the city, talking on the phone with the old man.
The old man was very excited.
Especially excited!
The commissioning of the nuclear fusion power station has established global currency hegemony.
“Little Chen… thank you!”
The old man was so excited that he choked up a little.
During the ten-minute conversation, the old man said 'thank you' to Chen Hao more than once.
“Old man, our goals are the same, so… there's really no need to say thank you.”
“I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!”
“Actually…”
Chen Hao shook his head slightly: “It's still not enough.”
“Not enough?”
The old man was stunned.
Hasn't the establishment of international currency status been announced?
Isn't currency hegemony already in hand?
“Currency hegemony can be established, but the control over this world is still not strong enough.”
Chen Hao explained.
For the new round of industrial revolution, controllable nuclear fusion solves the energy problem, but the degree of control is still insufficient.
Another technology is needed.
High-voltage wireless power transmission!
To put it bluntly.
Currently, there are still many areas where oil and natural gas are used, and electricity cannot completely replace them.
Once high-voltage wireless power transmission is completed, electricity will be the only core energy source!
All existing machinery, the vast majority of which will be eliminated, and electricity will completely dominate industry.
Only then can the world's energy throat be strangled!
“Good!”
Hearing the explanation, the old man was overjoyed: “I'm waiting for that day!”
“It won't be long…”
Suddenly!
The satellite phone rang.
Chen Hao had noticed the incoming call before.
But he couldn't answer other calls while talking to the old man, and as a result…
“Little Chen, let's talk about this later, you're busy.” The old man heard the ringtone.
Satellite phones ringing usually means urgent matters.
The old man hung up.
Chen Hao took out his satellite phone.
Looking at the number…
It was actually Xia Qingmo!
Few people knew the satellite phone number, and it had to be dialed with a similar phone.
Xia Qingmo knew the number and was also equipped with a satellite phone, but she had never called—today was the first time.
“What's wrong?” Chen Hao asked quickly.
She called his cell phone first.
When she couldn't get through, she called the satellite phone.
Something must be urgent!
“My parents… want you to come home for dinner.” Xia Qingmo mumbled.
“Huh?!”
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
In the past, his father-in-law asking him to come home for dinner was a common occurrence, and Xia Qingmo wouldn't have made a special satellite phone call to contact him.
Could things be the same now?
Ever since the last time they faked a breakup, his father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to death, let alone inviting him to dinner…
They couldn't wait to skin him alive and throw him into a boiling pot of oil!
“Could it be…”
Chen Hao's heart tightened: “They found out about… the reconciliation?”
“Yes!” Xia Qingmo smiled bitterly.
Her parents already knew that she had begged to reconcile with Chen Hao in front of so many people, willingly sharing her husband with another woman…
Her parents couldn't accept this kind of thing!
Asking Chen Hao to come to dinner?
It's definitely not simple!
“They're not going to poison me, are they?” Chen Hao muttered.
With the memories of his previous life, he knew his wife's family very well. His father-in-law was upright and had extremely high moral standards.
“Probably… not, right?”
Hearing him say that, Xia Qingmo was startled: “Or you shouldn't come, I'll just say you're too busy and don't have time!”
“Wait for me, I'll be there soon.”
“But…”
“Avoiding it isn't a solution, we have to face it eventually.”
…
The table was filled with delicious food.
Chen Hao and Xia Qingmo sat together.
Not only were the young couple there, but the elder sister-in-law had also returned.
On the contrary…
“Little Chen, come on, have some food!” Zhong Ping smiled and put food in Chen Hao's bowl.
“Auntie, where's Uncle?”
Xia Xiangyang was actually not there.
Chen Hao thought that Qingmo had claimed in front of so many people that she was willing to share her husband with another woman, and with his father-in-law's personality, it would be difficult for him to accept it, so it was understandable that he didn't attend the family banquet—his father-in-law would definitely not be able to help but lash out when he saw him.
“He has something to do at work, we'll eat first.” Zhong Ping explained.
“…”
Chen Hao didn't say anything.
What exactly was his mother-in-law up to?
Half an hour later.
Seeing that they were almost done eating, Zhong Ping finally got to the point.
She looked at her little daughter: “Qingmo, do you think this is appropriate? Luckily, the news wasn't reported, only some gossip, otherwise… our family would be a joke!”
“Mom…”
Xia Qingmo lowered her head, but her tone was firm: “I know what you mean, but I won't break up with Chen Hao.”
“You…”
Zhong Ping frowned.
Convincing her little daughter to break up was the primary goal.
If that couldn't be achieved, they could only choose another path.
“Chen Hao, what do you think?” She looked at Chen Hao.
“This…”
Chen Hao smiled awkwardly: “If Qingmo can accept it, then I… don't have anything to say.”
This was top secret!
It concerned his grand plan to enter the White House through the fake Cindy.
How could he tell his mother-in-law the truth?
Pfft…
Xia Qingyan suddenly laughed.
She didn't know why her younger sister and brother-in-law were acting, but she was certain it was fake.
Therefore, when she saw her mother trying to persuade them to break up, she found it very funny.
“What are you laughing at?” Zhong Ping frowned.
“Nothing… I suddenly thought of something happy.”
“What happy thing?”
“My friend had a baby.”
“Boy or girl?”
“Huh?”
“You like Chen Hao, right?”
“Huh?!”
