"Miss Jin... he... he's your junior brother?"
Upon hearing Jin Lingyun call Wu Tian "Junior Brother," Li Fengjiao exclaimed in disbelief.
Jin Lingyun's lips curled into a mocking sneer as she asked calmly, "Oh? Is there something wrong with this?"
"No...no..." Li Fengjiao answered in a panic.
She was stunned for a moment, as if she were a clay sculpture, her plans falling flat.
She originally wanted to use the Jin family's influence to have Jin Lingyun seek justice from Wu Tian on her behalf.
Unexpectedly, Jin Lingyun turned out to be Wu Tian's senior sister. With this relationship, her wishful thinking instantly vanished.
At this moment, she was extremely embarrassed and could only cover it up with a forced laugh. She hurriedly hid behind Xia Zhonghai, afraid that Wu Tian would grab her neck again.
However, at this moment, Xia Zhonghai and she were in the same boat. He originally thought that by climbing up the Jin family's tree, the Xia family could soar to great heights.
However, judging from the current situation, this is just wishful thinking on his part.
Of course, what he was most worried about at the moment was the cooperation between the Jin family and the Xia family, and he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jin, our cooperation... is it still valid?"
"Of course it counts, and we'll even deepen our cooperation!" Jin Lingyun's hearty laughter was tinged with a sly smile. "This is a gift I carefully prepared for my junior brother, how can it be forgotten?"
Hearing Jin Lingyun say that they would continue to cooperate, Xia Zhonghai was initially very excited. However, after hearing what she said next, he became uneasy, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"A gift for me?"
Wu Tian, standing to the side, clearly did not understand Jin Lingyun's meaning.
He was utterly baffled as to how the collaboration between the Xia and Jin families could have become a gift to him.
Jin Lingyun chuckled and said, "I have already signed an alliance with the Xia family. The Jin family not only controls more than half of the shares in the Xia Group, but also has the power to decide on its personnel arrangements. This is the gift I am giving you."
When Xia Zhonghai heard the news, he was completely stunned. His body felt limp, as if it had fallen apart, and he was filled with anxiety.
Partnering with the Jin family would have been a golden opportunity for the Xia family to rise to prominence, but the Xia family no longer seems to belong to them anymore, and Xia Zhonghai, the head of the family, has lost all influence.
Wu Tian frowned as he watched this scene, muttering to himself, "What use is this to me anyway?"
Jin Lingyun looked at Xia Xue with a particularly beautiful smile and said, "You may not need it, but for Xia Xue, this is a great opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue quickly waved her hand, looking extremely anxious: "Miss Jin, you're too kind, I really don't need it."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Xia pulled Xia Xue behind her, her eyes gentle yet firm, and asked Jin Lingyun, "Miss Jin, do you really want to hand over the Xia family's affairs to Xiao Xue?"
Jin Lingyun shook her head and said very seriously, "It's not just that. Although the contract is in the name of the Jin family, I am willing to give it to Miss Xia Xue to show my sincerity."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Xia's eyes immediately lit up. She was overjoyed and asked repeatedly, "Really? Really?"
Jin Lingyun nodded vigorously and said, "Of course it's true. I, Jin Lingyun, keep my word and do what I say."
Grandma Xia quickly grabbed Xia Xue's hand and said excitedly, "Xiao Xue, quickly thank Miss Jin."
Xia Xue looked at her grandmother, somewhat puzzled: "Grandma, what use would I have for that?"
Grandma Xia held Xia Xue's hand and said to Xia Zhonghai and his wife, "Xiao Xue, the Xia family was passed down from your grandfather and is also the result of your father's hard work. Now some people have made a mess of things. Can you bear to watch their hard work go to waste?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue suddenly understood the old lady's intention.
The things Xia Zhonghai and his wife did completely disappointed Grandma, and she planned to take revenge on them.
But Xia Xue still had doubts: "I... haven't been in contact with society for eight years. The outside world has changed so much. Can I handle it?"
She was imprisoned by Qin Weishan for eight years, during which time she had no contact with society at all. Now that she is asked to take over the management of the company, she has no confidence at all.
Grandma Xia saw through her thoughts, held her hand tightly, and said with encouragement in her eyes: "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, Grandma will help you. When your grandfather started his business, I helped him take care of everything. When your father took over, I taught him step by step. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to lead the company even better."
Hearing this, Xia Xue felt reassured. She nodded vigorously and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and won't let you down."
At this moment, Jin Lingyun interjected with a smile, her voice pleasant to hear: "Sister Xia Xue, if you need any help, just say the word, and the entire Jin family will be ready to assist you at any time."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Xia was overjoyed: "With the Jin family's help, Xiaoxue is much more secure now. Thank you so much!"
Jin Lingyun smiled broadly and said, "Madam, you're too kind. This is what we should do."
Xia Xue was a little puzzled and asked Jin Lingyun, "Sister Jin, I feel a little embarrassed that you've helped me so much. I wonder why you've helped me so much?"
Hearing Jin Lingyun address her as "younger sister," Xia Xue followed suit and called her "older sister."
Although they addressed each other as sisters, she was still puzzled. She and Jin Lingyun were not related, and the Xia family had no connection with the Jin family. Yet Jin Lingyun helped her without expecting anything in return, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Jin Lingyun glanced at Wu Tian, smiled, and said, "You're Wu Tian's wife, and I'm his senior sister, so it's only right that I help you. Besides, I also have something I need his help with. Otherwise, I'm worried he might help me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior sister, you're wrong to say that. Even if this hadn't happened, if you asked me for help, I would definitely do it without hesitation."
When he left Prison Dragon Island, he swore an oath to his master that he would do everything in his power to help his senior sister if she needed it.
Jin Lingyun smiled, a playful glint in her eyes, and said, "You said it yourself, and Xia Xue can be my witness. Don't try to back out later."
Although she spoke casually, a blush crept onto her cheeks at the thought of asking Wu Tian for help.
To cover her embarrassment, she cleared her throat and said loudly, "Xia Xue, since you have accepted the management rights of the company, then exercise your rights."
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Xia Zhonghai and his wife beside her, giving Xia Xue a subtle hint.
Xia Xue was a little confused. Her clear eyes were filled with doubt as she asked softly, "How...how do I do it?"
Grandma Xia said in a calm and powerful voice, "Of course we have to get rid of some parasites from the company to prevent it from suffering losses."
