Chapter 141 Awake
Jiang Yue just shook her head as she watched Wu Minxia being dragged away by her own father.
Poor little thing. Her father, although rational,but choose the Wu Family’s reputation instead of protecting her.
"Well, everyone... I believe it’s time for us to continue to the next company." She said before stepping down the stage and taking her seat next to Zhao Feiyan.
"That was... unexpected." Zhao Feiyan said before patting Jiang Yue’s back."You did a good job. I never knew that you were this proficient in the web industry."
"Thank you. I did not expect that as well." Jiang Yue answered while looking at Old Man Wu who was walking towards the entrance, his shoulders slumped, ready to leave the hall.
This was just the start. Jiang Yue’s gaze turned sharp when she thought of what the Wu Family did to her family. Especially what they had done to her grandfather.
The only good thing that had come out of this were the shares that she was able to acquire.
Jiang Yue knew that without the Wu Family’s provocating deeds, she would never have had the courage to face the Wu family all by herself.
Nevertheless, this event had given her another lesson in life. Especially in her chosen path.
In the world of business, she could not trust anyone except for her family. The people who chastise you today could curry your favor tomorrow.
This was the reality in the world that she was treading. She could not just skip and dance her way to success. She needed to grow and learn these things the hard way.
Now that Wu Minxia was considered a walking hazard, Jiang Yue needed to double her security and be extra careful.
"Mother... I heard that Bei Ye will accompany me after this event. Is that true?" She asked. Now that her skills were known to the web industry, she needed to double, if not triple, her security.
For Jiang Yue, having a person like Bei Ye to guard her was an additional asset. Just like Wang Bolin.
Moreover, she realized that she could not have just anyone accompany her, especially now with her grandfather still unwell.
For most people, this might sound paranoid, but for someone like Jiang Yue, this was of extreme importance. She would never become like him.
She vowed not to become like him.
Never.
Thinking of that person made Jiang Yue cringe.
How long had it been? Half a year? No... Eight Months.
Did she miss him?
Definitely.
Was she doing something about his death?
No... She was not.
She would rather fulfill her promise to him than pursue his killer.
Sensing Jiang Yue’s gloomy mood, Zhao Feiyan immediately thought that it was because she was worried about her security.
"Aiyah... this child. Of course! Fu Jin wanted you to be protected by someone who he would trust with his life. Stop worrying about your security. I will take care of that." Zhao Feiyan answered while stroking Jiang Yue’s hair. Now that everyone was aware of Jiang Yue’s skills, she would make sure to keep her as safe as possible.
After all, she knew that most people in the underworld would want to have someone with Jiang Yue’s particular set of skills.
"Aside from Bei Ye, I am planning to assign at least twenty well-trained people to the Wang Estate and another fifteen people that will do anything that you tell them to." She added, trying to comfort her daughter in law.
Jiang Yue nodded before giving Zhao Feiyan a smile. "I understand, thank you, mother."
"Child... between families, there is no need for thanks." Zhao Feiyan responded before her gaze turned serious. "Just... I will be away after this summit and I don’t know when I will see you again. Your grandfather... well since Old Man Wang is still not well, promise me that you will stay safe."
Jiang Yue’s gaze immediately softened after she heard Zhao Feiyan’s words. "I will mom."
This was what it felt like to have a mother, and somehow Jiang Yue missed this feeling.
If her own mother was alive... would she... would she also treat her this way?
Would she be proud of her?
Jiang Yue immediately lowered her gaze while trying to blink away the tears in her eyes.
Yes. She missed her mother.
Oh...she wished she could turn back time and prevent that accident.
...
Meanwhile, in an island somewhere far away from Jiang Yue’s current location, a man in his sixties was currently panting.
He tried to compose himself before knocking on the brown mahogany door in front of him.
"Come in." A deep voice was heard before the old man opened the door and bowed to the man sitting behind an office table.
The handsome man was currently looking at his computer and did not pay any heed to the old man who came in panting.
"Speak." He said, impatience laced his voice.
"Master... the mistress... the mistress is awake!"
