Chapter 314: Have a Say in the Matter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Shen Junâs words, Wen Nian fell silent.
In her previous life, not only had the Wei family successfully expanded into the capital, but they had also established two major shopping malls. While they couldnât rival the Shen family, it marked a significant advancement for the Wei family. During that period, Wei Xiao had garnered a reputation as a notable talent in the capital.
Wen Nianâs fists tightened with determination. She couldnât allow the Wei family to enjoy a trouble-free existence in this lifetime. She was determined to make those who had wronged her suffer the consequences.
Observing the shift in Wen Nianâs demeanor, Shen Jun gently took her hand and reassured her, âDonât fret. Iâve already arranged for an investigation into Yang Shu. Weâll receive news soon.â
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Junâs phone rang, and he noticed that it was Wei Xiao calling. His expression grew serious.
The Wei familyâs situation held significant importance this time. Wei Xiao had skipped the exam entirely to go straight to the capital for the property transfer, appearing as the prospective heir to the Wei family.
With the possibility of having concrete evidence in his possession, Shen Jun answered the call.
âYoung Master Shen, have you finished your exams? Iâm heading back to Hai City tonight. The land in the capital is now under my control,â Wei Xiaoâs voice oozed with satisfaction, and he couldnât hide his glee.
He hadnât anticipated everything going so smoothly. Wei Xiao had recorded a video of Huang Yue sleeping with Wei Jiang and taken numerous photos as evidence. He had even left behind the condom that Wei Jiang had used that day.
Wei Jiangâs lecherous nature, combined with the influence of the drugs, left him completely powerless to resist, and he engaged in a sexual encounter with Huang Yue. Huang Yue had also sustained several injuries on her body.
The following morning, when Wei Jiang woke up, he found Huang Yue sitting by the side with disheveled hair, having cried for a long time. Just as he was about to offer some comfort to the distressed young woman, Wei Xiao stormed in with his associates and even suggested calling the police on behalf of Huang Yue.
Wei Jiang wasnât particularly concerned about being framed. Even if the compromising photos and videos were leaked, they wouldnât significantly tarnish his reputation. However, his fear primarily stemmed from Li Bing.
Wei Jiang and Li Bing had entered into a marriage alliance originally, and their current relationship was merely a facade. As long as Wei Jiang didnât push the boundaries too far and kept certain matters discreet, Li Bing was willing to turn a blind eye. However, if their illicit actions were exposed, it would undoubtedly lead to a severe fallout with Li Bing. In the worst-case scenario, Wei Jiang might even lose his standing within the Shen family.
What exacerbated Wei Jiangâs distress was that he hadnât initially recognized Huang Yue. It was only after Wei Xiaoâs revelations that he realized she was the illegitimate daughter of the Huang family. If this affair were to come to light, it would undoubtedly draw significant attention and scrutiny, and Wei Jiang couldnât fathom the potential consequences he might have to face.
In the end, Wei Jiang was forced to agree to help Wei Xiao get the land. He conceded 2% of the companyâs shares to Wei Xiao, while the remaining 3% was forcefully extracted from Wei Feng through coercion.
Reflecting on his recent accomplishments, Wei Xiao believed he could consider himself one of the most successful among his peers. This newfound confidence was reflected in his markedly altered tone when talking to Shen Jun.
âI recall you mentioning your plans to develop this area during our last conversation. Now, I have a say in the matter. How about we meet up tonight to discuss it?â
Shen Jun casted a glance at Wen Nian and replied simply, âOkay.â
Wei Xiao was somewhat exhilarated, believing that Shen Jun must acknowledge his newfound influence and potential role as the future head of the family, much like Shen Jun himself. He promptly settled on a time and venue for their meeting, proceeding to book a private room for their discussion.
At that moment, Huang Yue, standing nearby, held a cup of fruit tea in one hand and a wet wipe in the other. She inquired softly, âAre you heading back to Hai City tonight? I donât have any filming for the next couple of days. How about I accompany you back?â
Huang Yue had gained insight into Shen Junâs influential background through Wei Xiao. She regretted not fostering a closer relationship with Shen Jun in the past, as she believed that if they had been together, many of the subsequent complications might have been avoided.
She hated Wen Nian even more now. She suspected that Wen Nian had been aware of Shen Junâs true identity long before she broke off the engagement with Wei Xiao. Wen Nianâs actions had also caused her harm.
Hence, she had to go back and expose Wen Nian. Since she was no longer happy, she naturally could not let Wen Nian be happy.
Wei Xiao waved his hand, signaling that he disagreed. âWhy would you accompany me back? Havenât you forgotten your grudge against Wen Nian? Arenât you just causing trouble for Shen Jun?â
Huang Yue attempted to respond, but Wei Xiao didnât afford her the opportunity. âCEO Wang, who signed the contract with you today, wishes to meet with you tonight. He has a preference for white attire. Make sure to change into suitable clothing.â
After relaying the message, Wei Xiao cast a disdainful glance at Huang Yueâs attire. He couldnât understand why she insisted on wearing clothes with prominent logos ever since entering the entertainment industry. It gave her an ostentatious appearance of a rich person, which left Wei Xiao feeling repelled.
Having issued his directives, Wei Xiao was eager to depart. His primary objective was to engage in a discussion with Shen Jun regarding the developments in the capital.
As Wei Xiao walked away, Huang Yue watched his retreating figure with a glint of malice in her eyes..
