Upon hearing this, Ning Xin'er's eyes lit up, a glint of mischief flashing across them. Her inner joy surged like waves, one after another.
She never expected that her plan would come to fruition so quickly.
Acquiring shares in the Bo Group is the first step.
The second step is to get involved in managing the group's affairs.
There are a third and a fourth step.
Having completed the first two steps, we've essentially succeeded more than halfway.
Ning Xin'er reached out and hugged Ning Wanzhen's neck, acting like a child and saying affectionately, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on them for you from now on. I will never let my cousin, you, or the Bo family's reputation be damaged."
After a few words, Ning Wanzhen's eyes reddened again. She touched the back of Ning Xin'er's head and said, "Xin'er, I wish you were my own daughter."
Ning Xin'er gently touched her cheek, "Auntie, from now on, I am your daughter, even closer than your own."
Ning Wanzhen felt a lump in her throat, but her heart was filled with warmth.
Over the course of four years, she lost her husband and only son, and her heart was filled with loneliness.
Sang Yuwan treated her fairly well, but after all, she was her daughter-in-law, not her own child.
Ning Xin'er is different; she is a niece, and Ning family blood flows in her veins.
The steward entered, saw the situation, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Madam, the Ming family has sent an invitation. Please take a look."
Ning Xin'er hurriedly let go of Ning Wanzhen's hand, sat down next to her, and asked with great curiosity, "The Ming family? Is that your family, cousin-in-law?"
Ning Wanzhen already minded the relationship between Sang Yuwan and Ming Zhan, and didn't have a good impression of the Ming family. Now, hearing the words "Ming family" made her feel inexplicably annoyed.
Seeing that she remained silent, Ning Xin'er quickly stood up and took the invitation from the steward. Then she slowly opened it, "So it's for Old Master Ming's birthday banquet."
Ning Wanzhen frowned slightly. "Mingyu?"
The steward, emboldened, added, "It's Old Master Ming's sixtieth birthday."
Ning Wanzhen sneered, "When my family member Xingzhi passed away, not a single member of the Ming family came. He invites me to his birthday party? Ha."
Ning Xin'er's eyes darted around, and she asked in confusion, "Why didn't the Ming family come to pay their respects when my cousin passed away? They not only didn't care about my cousin, but they also didn't respect my aunt and the Bo family."
The steward broke out in a cold sweat.
Ning Wanzhen's face suddenly turned dark.
Ning Xin'er added insult to injury, "Logically speaking, the Ming family is an upper-class family, they wouldn't be so unruly. Maybe it's because my cousin-in-law didn't allow them to come."
The steward felt a chill run down his spine.
Ning Wanzhen was instantly furious, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot. "Why did she do this?"
Ning Xin'er was startled and said in a panic, "Auntie, I'm talking nonsense. My cousin-in-law would never do such a thing... Please... please don't be angry."
The steward gasped.
It's such a pity that Ning Xin'er doesn't go into acting.
Ning Wanzhen believed her words, and a fierce anger flared in her eyes. She took the invitation and tore it to shreds.
Upon seeing this, the head steward was greatly alarmed, "Madam, this..."
"Go tell Sang Yuwan that the Ming family's threshold is too high for me to cross," Ning Wanzhen said angrily.
Ning Xin'er lowered her head and bit her lip, afraid that she would laugh out loud.
She hadn't expected that Ning Wanzhen and Sang Yuwan's relationship was so fragile, so easily sown apart by a few words.
Next, it's time to deal with the baby in Sang Yuwan's belly.
The steward, trembling with fear and looking helpless and uneasy, said, "Madam, it will not do us any good to fall out with the head of the family at this time."
Before Ning Wanzhen could speak, Ning Xin'er interrupted, "Uncle Lin, don't talk nonsense. When did Auntie and Cousin's wife have a falling out? Auntie doesn't want to go only because Cousin's mourning period is not over yet."
Hearing this, Ning Wanzhen felt a sharp pain in her internal organs, and her facial muscles twitched slightly. "Xin'er is right. Tell the head of the family that she is not allowed to go even though the mourning period for Xingzhi is not over."
The steward paused, then lowered his head. "Yes, Madam."
He had only offered a reminder, yet Ning Xin'er had seized upon it to make such a fuss. From now on, he would resolutely refrain from speaking out of turn.
Ning Xin'er watched him leave, then started stirring things up again, "Auntie, what he said isn't wrong. Now that my cousin-in-law is the head of the family, she has absolute power in the Bo family. You can't really stop her from doing whatever she wants."
Finally, she added, "Just like how she moved out of the old house only a week after her cousin passed away."
A few words were like adding fuel to the fire.
Ning Wanzhen's chest heaved violently, and her wide eyes were bloodshot.
"If she really piss me off, I'll make sure she gets nothing."
“Auntie, you…” Ning Xin’er gently stroked her chest tenderly and softly comforted her, “Auntie, calm down. We’ll just be more careful in the future.”
Ning Wanzhen's face turned ashen, and she remained silent.
-
Qinghe Garden.
Sang Yuwan turned off the surveillance camera, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"5% of the shares, Ning Xin'er is really something."
Minglang came up, holding a bowl of white fungus soup.
Sang Yuwan said to him, "Tell the young master that I will definitely attend Uncle Ming's birthday banquet."
Minglang placed the white fungus soup on the coffee table in front of her, his brow furrowed slightly. "Madam, aren't you afraid the old lady will be angry?"
Sang Yuwan said calmly, "If I were afraid of this and that, how could I have gotten to where I am today?"
Minglang said worriedly, "Madam, the old lady has already given Ning Xin'er 5% of her shares. If she gives her another 5%, then Ning Xin'er will be the major shareholder."
Sang Yuwan picked up a small white porcelain spoon and gently stirred the white fungus soup. Her starry eyes held a half-smile. "Do you think Ning Wanzhen is a fool?"
Minglang paused for a moment, then shook his head. "She's not stupid, but she can't resist Ning Xin'er's instigation."
“Although Ning Wanzhen has lived a life of luxury for many years, she is not without shrewdness.” Sang Yuwan picked up the porcelain bowl and ate the white fungus soup in small bites.
Seeing this, Minglang didn't say anything more, turned around and went downstairs.
After finishing her white fungus soup, Sang Yu did some light exercise.
She was on her way to the study when Liu Changqing called her.
"Mr. Liu."
"Chairman, is it a convenient time for you to speak now?"
Liu Changqing's voice sounded somewhat uneasy, even flustered.
Sang Yuwan leaned back against the sofa and said coldly, "What is it? Speak."
Liu Changqing lowered his voice, "Chairman, if it's convenient for you, please come to Gucheng."
Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, a vague sense of foreboding rising within her. Her brow furrowed, and her tone hardened, "What can't you say over the phone?"
Liu Changqing took a deep breath, his voice tight, "I met Secretary Gu's father in Gucheng, and he told me..."
He suddenly stopped, as if he found it difficult to say what was to come.
Sang Yuwan's heart pounded, and she suddenly realized what was happening.
Gucheng is Gu Jingheng's hometown.
After Gu Jingheng's parents came to the Bo family that night, they returned to Gucheng.
They originally intended to extort money from Bo Xingzhi and Gu Jingheng using their marriage certificate. However, things didn't go as planned.
They finally had a chance to make money, and they just let it slip away. They must be very upset.
Now, they're trying to extort money from Liu Changqing again. Such people are truly despicable.
Sang Yuwan's lips curved slightly, her voice cool and clear, "President Liu, please continue."
Liu Changqing's voice trembled, "Secretary Gu's father told me that there was something between Master Bo and Secretary Gu..."
