Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Deadly Thrilling_1
But she shouldn’t involve innocent people in her quest for revenge.
At least she never offended her personally, yet she was relentless, only proving that this woman’s heart and mind had been completely distorted by hatred. It was both despicable and pitiable.
"Old Sir Shang, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can I do, if this matter gets out, saving the Shang family’s reputation is the least of my worries, Jingchen will definitely feel guilty and tormented. Furthermore, if she is driven insane, she will likely become even more reckless.
In fact, while the Shang family didn’t directly harm her, we indirectly did, owing her much. Therefore, I plan to have a serious talk with her. I have the documents in my hands, which could discourage her. I believe she is scared and will lay low in the future!"
Ye Lu felt a little upset letting that woman go so easily but there was no other choice.
Regardless, it was a matter concerning the Shang family, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to meddle too much.
"Old sir, I’m wondering if you’ve heard ... those rumours ..."
Old Sir Shang gave a bitter smile: "Even though I’m ill, I can still hear and see clearly. I don’t blame you, Jingchen doesn’t appreciate you and it’s only normal for you to look for other options. Perhaps you two just weren’t meant to be. I shouldn’t have forced you two together."
"Old Sir, I’m sorry." Ye Lu was moved by his sympathy.
"Perhaps I should give him another chance to make his own choices. In any case, it’s his own fate."
...
Just as Ye Lu was about to leave the Shang family, she heard a commotion outdoors.
She saw the butler hurriedly run in: "Young Mistress, disaster! Your father is causing a scene at the entrance, demanding to come in!"
Ye Lu frowned. What on earth was Ye Wanli up to now?
She hurried outside and saw Ye Wanli and Chen Yan insisting on entering while several servants blocked their way.
Ye Wanli was threatening harshly.
"I want to see Old Sir Shang, we are family by marriage. He cannot just stand by while I am in trouble. If I go bankrupt, I’ll lay bare the Shang family’s cold-blooded nature in front of the media and how they tricked me into investing my money, causing me to lose everything."
Ye Lu was stunned and puzzled.
From Ye Wanli’s words, it seemed his multi-billion dollar investment had gone under, but the thing was she hadn’t informed the relevant authorities about the land problem yet!
She was pondering because that project company was highly influential, even if she had reported, they would likely have suppressed it.
So, she was playing it for the long haul, planning step by step to bring down the project.
However, she didn’t expect that the issue had been exposed so quickly and even succeeded. Otherwise, Ye Wanli wouldn’t be so flustered. What on earth was going on?
Could she just have been terribly unlucky and just happened to stumble upon the company upsetting a powerful figure, getting backstabbed, ha-ha, divine justice!
What she didn’t know was that ThirdYoung Master Jun had reported the Gu Clan’s land issue while dealing with it, and he did it for her. His woman, of course, he would help her to avoid her getting overly exhausted. However, since she has always wanted to take revenge on her own, he quietly helped.
"Ye Wanli, do you even have a shred of dignity left? You’re foolish enough to fail in your multi-billion dollar investment and still trying to pin the blame on the Shang family, it seems that even heaven wants to punish you!" Ye Lu sneered.
Money was what he cared about the most and with billions evaporated it must feel like the sky was falling! The desire to save every penny must be causing him extreme pain, but he deserves it!
Ye Lu recalled his past cruelties towards her. Now seeing him going bankrupt, it brought her immense joy.
