The wealthy woman was dressed in a gorgeous evening gown and exuded a strong fragrance.
A satisfied smile graced her face, and her eyes never left Mingxiu.
Mingxiu suppressed her nausea, holding a glass of wine in her hand, occasionally clinking glasses with the rich woman, drinking and chatting with her.
During the conversation, he intentionally or unintentionally steered the topic toward the project approval process, seemingly casually inquiring about some key information.
Suddenly, the rich woman leaned forward and left a bright red lipstick mark on Mingxiu's face.
Mingxiu frowned slightly, but quickly regained her charming smile and continued to deal with the wealthy woman.
Jingmin, thinking it wasn't safe for him to be alone, waved his hand and gave instructions.
"Call Li Yan back too!"
Yan Zhou was truly astonished. Although Li Yan had also been exiled, he did indeed have important business in Africa.
"Wouldn't a sudden change of personnel alarm Mr. Jin?"
Jing Min: "I just want him to know that he's been secretly doing all sorts of things to find out what I'm up to!"
"Just have Ted change his mind and tell him everything, big or small."
Yan Zhou: "Won't this affect us?"
Jing Min dismissed it, glancing at him dismissively.
"We haven't done any illegal or unethical business, so what are we feeling guilty about?"
"The old man is watching me simply to see if I've grown stronger, afraid I'll go back and take what's his son's things."
"At the same time, I have to keep him calm and make his son wary of overstepping his bounds."
"Let Ted tell him our whereabouts so he can be at ease and know that I am indeed 'helping' him keep an eye on his son to prevent him from harassing me."
Yan Zhou: "Grandpa Jin is so obviously biased, are we still going to swallow our anger?"
Jing Min sneered: "How is he being biased? He's incredibly selfish."
"It's just that his son's medical labs in Africa allow him to curry favor with powerful figures and strengthen the Kim family, which is why he secretly, intentionally or unintentionally, supports him."
"However, the prerequisite is that the illegitimate child's rights cannot overshadow his,"
"You're so old, why are you still so mercenary?"
Yan Zhou: "Was Old Master Jin involved in the Chu family mine incident? There's not a single trace of it."
Jing Min pondered for a moment, "It's most likely, but we can't rule out the possibility that Huo Sheng embezzled it himself."
"Tell Ted to do everything he can, big or small, to find the old man something to do, and stop him from trying to interfere so much."
Yan Zhou's expression was grave. "Does the old man have anyone in Haicheng who wants us?"
Jingmin interrupted
"No need, let him be. Haicheng is our territory; I've already laid a trap for him."
"No matter how much trouble the old man and his illegitimate son cause here, they won't amount to anything."
"Don't get involved in anything related to the mines,"
"He intentionally wanted to sabotage the relationship between the Jing and Chu families. The old man was taking advantage of my kindness and was trying to use me as a bargaining chip to arrange a marriage with the family he had chosen,"
Yan Zhou looked furious, glanced at the ward, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
