“Master, then you tell us what’s going on here,” Zheng Shuangyue said with a smile as she sat on the sofa to Zhang Tianle.
At this moment, Zheng Shuangyue seemed like a kind old lady, showing no trace of the ruthless and decisive person she had been in the business world when she was young.
"She had some masters use strange methods to seal a starving ghost into the jade Guanyin statue, and you were possessed by the starving ghost when you touched the jade Guanyin statue. After that, all of this happened."
Zhang Tianle's brief explanation made An Youli jump up as if her tail had been stepped on: "You're talking nonsense! Don't think that just because you're a master you can frame me like this. The jade Guanyin I gave to my stepmother was indeed blessed by a master, but that's because my stepmother is a devout Buddhist, and I know it's not easy for her to go to the temple, so I wanted to build a Buddhist shrine for her at home. I was just being filial to my stepmother, so how did I become so dirty in your mouth?"
The master had said that once the hungry ghost left the Guanyin statue, it would leave no trace. Now that Zhang Tianle had eliminated the hungry ghost, if she were to deny everything, she didn't believe Zhang Tianle could find a way to deal with her.
Zhang Tianle took out a truth-telling talisman and smiled meaningfully at An Youli: "Fellow Yuan, I advise you to say less sophistry."
“I’m telling the truth. You’re just trying to drive a wedge between us brothers,” An Youli snapped at Zhang Tianle again.
Zhang Tianle stopped indulging her and with a flick of his wrist, the truth talisman in his hand floated towards An Youli.
However, the talisman burst into flames in mid-air.
An Youli shivered.
"What...what did you do to me?" An Youli looked at Zhang Tianle in horror.
Only now did she belatedly realize that the person in front of her was a master capable of eliminating the special ghosts created by that master, and that she had just been completely impolite to this master.
“Now you can tell the truth.” Zhang Tianle smiled. “For example, tell me why you framed Ms. Zheng Shuangyue. Let’s start from that point.”
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't frame my stepmother. I..." But before she could finish her scathing denial, the words that came out of her mouth were: "That old hag is still alive, how could we possibly seize her shares? Humph! We didn't expect you to ruin our plans. You just wait, once we catch our breath, we'll see if we don't kill you!"
Upon hearing this, An Youli covered her mouth in horror.
How could she have revealed her true feelings?
Zheng Shuangyue's smile froze slightly, but quickly returned. She asked softly, "Youli, your stepmother has treated you all well. Tell me, why are you treating your stepmother like this?"
"Not bad? You despicable wretch, how have you not been bad to us? Tell me how many shares you've taken from that old man over the years. Sixty percent of the An Group's shares are in your hands, and only thirty percent are in ours. And you still have the nerve to tell us you've been good to us?"
An Youli released her grip and sneered at Zheng Shuangyue, "According to the old man's will, we can only divide your shares after you die. There's nothing we can do; who told you to hoard these shares! We can't get the money if you don't die! We're short of money right now!"
Zheng Shuangyue's smile froze, and she slowly suppressed it: "If you don't have money, you can talk to your family. For the sake of the old man, we will help you. But you want my life for money. How can you face the old man?"
An Youli laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Ha! The old man is dead, so don't try to use him to pressure us!" An Youli couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If we asked you for money, would you give it to us? I think you'd rather we were dead! And you probably don't know, but we sold all our shares a long time ago!"
Hahaha... The people who own the largest shares now are not you, but the people who bought our shares. We only have one percent of the shares now.
"This is hilarious! We've been selling for four or five years now, and for all that time, you've been doing the same thing—giving us dividends during the Lunar New Year. Haven't you ever checked the accounts? You're as stupid as pigs!"
As An Youli spoke, she covered her mouth tightly with a look of terror on her face.
It’s over!
It’s over!
She couldn't control herself at all.
Even if she covers her mouth, she can't help but let go to answer their questions when she's about to speak.
At this moment, An Youcai and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately moved closer to An Youli. An Youcai even grabbed An Youli and pulled her outside immediately.
Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot; they truly hadn't expected An Youli to reveal all their secrets.
But why were An Youcheng and the others so calm when they heard this news?
Something's not right.
An Youcai felt a vague unease in his heart.
“Big brother, second brother, you don’t need to take eldest sister away. We all know you sold the shares.” An Youcheng called out to An Youliang, who was pulling An Youli towards the door. “Also, the reason we are giving you the dividends according to the previous method is not because we didn’t know, but because we value our family ties and remember Father’s instructions before he passed away. That’s why we are giving you the dividends according to the previous method, not because we are stupid!”
An Youcheng took a deep breath and said, "But what we didn't expect was that despite how well we treated you, you treated Mother like this. So starting this year, we will not give you any dividends."
At this moment, An Youcheng's eyes were incredibly sharp.
They truly never imagined that An Youli and her group would do such a thing to their mother.
They had always known that An Youli and her two siblings had a problem with their mother. Since their grandfather passed away, they had moved out to avoid seeing them. However, whenever the three siblings caused trouble outside, they would still help them out of family ties.
They even secretly bought their shares and gave them the same dividends I used to give them. But they weren't satisfied and tried to harm their mother.
This is something they cannot tolerate.
"No! You can't do this!" An Youli shouted. "You must distribute profits to us the way you used to."
She couldn't believe how miserable their lives would be without those dividends.
