Gao Sen never imagined that there was a trick in this world called "cutting off the fuel supply from under the pot".

Lei Xuan's acquisition of Gao's shares was clearly aimed at him.

Once Lei Xuan's shareholding exceeds his own, even if the Gao Group still exists, it will no longer belong to Gao Sen.

Even if it doesn't exceed the limit, if Lei Xuan insists on holding a shareholders' meeting to remove him as the controller of Gao's Group, or even if he barely resists Lei Xuan's targeting, as long as Lei Xuan still has shares in Gao's Group and can speak for Gao's Group, he will be hampered in any future decision-making process. Wouldn't that be disgusting?

Gao Sen didn't know how many shares Lei Xuan held in the Gao family business, but the fact that he dared to say it in front of everyone suggested he had considerable resources and a substantial number of shares. Not only Lei Xuan, but the Sheng family also held a significant number of shares; all of this combined put considerable pressure on Gao Sen.

If things go wrong, he could capsize.

All the joy of a successful collaboration vanished.

If things go wrong, he'll end up working like a slave for others, only to be discarded afterward.

Lei Xuan's face remained cold and indifferent, while Gao Sen's face was as pale as paper.

An unconventional master-disciple relationship in online games.

Lei Xuan's actions are practically suicidal!

Moreover, upon hearing Lei Xuan's cold announcement, the guests at the banquet all changed their expressions. They not only quietly distanced themselves from Gao Sen, but also subtly surrounded Shen Wangshu, becoming even more polite.

This is incredible! This is a huge change for the Gao Group!

I never expected to hear such explosive news just from attending a banquet.

"President Lei is truly decisive. Could it be that you are optimistic about the future of the Gao family?" Gao Sen's handsome face turned ashen. He wished he could stab Lei Xuan, but at this moment he could only barely suppress the fear and anger in his heart and force a smile as he slowly said, "With the addition of the Lei family, I believe that the future development of the Gao family will go even further."

He nodded very amicably and said, "I am very grateful to President Lei for his special regard for the Gao family. In the future, neither the Gao family nor I will disappoint President Lei." He saw Lei Xuan walk up to Shen Wangshu, put his arm around the beautiful woman, and look at him, and he was a little confused for a moment.

What does this mean?

Lei tightened his grip on his lover's shoulders and glanced at Gao Sen again.

Gao Sen was bewildered for a long time, but then he saw a figure flash by and someone came up to Shen Wangshu to congratulate her.

By the way, I want to compliment the second young lady of the Sheng family for her keen eye; she found a boyfriend who is clearly an elite, and look... she even acquired the Gao family.

Shen Wangshu forced a dry laugh and thanked everyone. As he listened to the praises that he had good taste and would definitely be very happy in the future, as well as many more words praising his virtues, his eyes twitched slightly.

People are already praising her and Lei Xuan as a match made in heaven.

Lei Xuan nodded slightly to everyone who praised Shen Wangshu and wished him happiness in the future.

Clearly, Mr. Lei enjoyed listening to this.

There were even more compliments.

Gao Sen then realized what Lei Xuan was trying to say to him. He was already extremely resentful because Gao's shares had been acquired, but now seeing Lei Xuan showing off, he felt a hidden pain in his heart.

He wondered if, in the first place, he hadn't met Lei Xuan, would Shen Wangshu have developed feelings for him? Would she have married him for Gao Xi's sake? This thought reminded him of Shen Wangshu's hatred for him for neglecting their son, and he couldn't help but glance coldly at Chu Xiangyun, whose face was deathly pale. If it weren't for Chu Xiangyun, if she hadn't neglected Gao Xi, would Shen Wangshu still treat him with such indifference?

If it weren't for Chu Xiangyun stirring things up, she would have already sympathized with herself and Gao Xi, and married into the Gao family for her and Gao Xi's sake.

If she had brought the Gao family shares left to her by Sheng Jia as her dowry when she married into the family, the Gao family would not be in such a precarious situation now.

Only now does he realize what he has missed.

For a moment, Gao Sen's heart was filled with resentment, and he felt less and less pity for Chu Xiangyun, who was looking at him with concern.

Although he seemed unconcerned, everyone present was a smart person and knew what it meant for the Lei family to acquire the Gao family's shares.

The celebratory banquet suddenly turned into a joke, with some already mocking Gao Sen for his hard work, while the benefits all went to the even more cunning Lei Xuan.

Empress's Beloved Wife (gl). Shen Wangshu had, of course, heard these rumors. When she and Lei Xuan left the Gao family villa and returned home together, she said with satisfaction, "This is exactly what I wanted to see at this banquet!" Otherwise, why would she attend Gao Sen's banquet?

She had long since broken ties with the Gao family; she had even taken her son away. Celebration banquets and the like would only make her feel uncomfortable.

"Happy?" Lei Xuan stretched out his broad arms and pulled Shen Wangshu into his embrace.

Shen Wangshu was naturally very happy, but after a pause, she asked hesitantly, "Aren't we still short of his shares?"

Lei Xuan nodded, but said slowly, "That's more than enough to deal with him." He looked very calculating, but Shen Wangshu liked him just the way he was. She leaned on his shoulder and stroked his handsome face, asking, "What are you planning to do?" She paused and then suddenly asked, "Are you deliberately letting him know that Lei's Group is acquiring shares?"

Lei Xuan had always acquired the Gao family's property secretly, worried about arousing Gao Sen's suspicion. He had truly entered the village quietly, without firing a shot. But this time, he made it known in full view of everyone, which was indeed strange.

“He really enjoys the feeling of having complete control of the Gao family and won’t allow anyone to compete with him for the Gao family,” Lei Xuan said slowly. “He’s a man with a strong lust for power.”
