Lang Lan could relate to Su Xuefeng. She had once been in a similar situation. After all, thinking of that bastard Heng Bingwen, he was once a nobody, akin to dirt on her feet. She believed that she could trample on those mother-son pair any instant. But who knew that in a matter of days, thinks would reverse so drastically?
And she would be left with no family, no face, and no support.
"You should get rid of them while you still hold power." Lang Lan said bitterly; her words were a result of the devastating suffering she had to experience.
The thing she regretted the most right now was not getting rid of that Heng Bingwen before everything turned upright down.
She could have...easily commissioned someone to kill him. At that time, her husband would never have suspected her. But now, she had neither power nor support.
"Oh, by the way, would Jing Tian older sister be attending?" This was the purpose Lang Lan was here.
After being totally humiliated at the party she threw back in her home, Lang Lan had been avoiding the public. Not only that, but Heng Huizhong had also cut her spendings. She could no longer spend as lavishly as she used to do in the past. So she was forced to stay back at home.
She had tried to make up with Heng Huizhong countless times but it felt like, this time he was truly angry.
Nevertheless, with her persistence, Lang Lan had managed to slowly creep back into his heart. Maybe, she would be able to have him lift the restrictions from her. But things would never be the same any longer.
He would never trust her fully. In the future, Lang Lan could no longer act unrestrained and spoiled.
Despite this, after she heard that Jing Lihua had divorced and that, she might be attending the party, Lang Lan used whatever savings she had to buy herself a suitable dress and decided to attend the party. Since she blamed Jing Lihua for her condition, she was carving to see her in her plight.
"I'm not sure. Maybe she does." Su Xuefeng carelessly remarked. She had no enmity with Jing Lihua so definitely she was not a matter of concern for her.
Just at that instant, a white figure entered the venue encapturing everyone's attention in an instant.
...
In Hong Kong, if there was any family that had the ability to match against the formidable 'Li' family, let it be history, influence, or power then it was the Qin family. Thus the enmity between these two families ran for generations.
In the
city, on the surface, everything appeared to be peaceful and stable. However, underneath that cover of peace, a violent storm was brewing. With the imminent death of the current head of the 'Li' family, different powers were surging in pursuit of an opportunity to rise and dominate everything.
Yes; the head of the Li family, Li Mengyao, Li Zhiqiang, and Li Xun's father was suffering from a terminal disease. A liver failure eight years ago. Although transplantation had elonged his lifespan. He was still at risk. Anything could happen anytime. An air of uncertainty lingered in the air. While the 'Li' family tried its best to suppress the issue, every single eye was upon that family in pursuit of a single ripple so that they could make their move.
"Under such circumstances, Li Mengyao's eldest son would instead of stabilizing the situation, would go to another place? This situation is not as simple as it seems." a middle-aged man said while surfing through the newspaper as he took a sip of his tea.
"Mr. Qin, he is working on a project. Our intelligence concludes that it is at least a tier 2 Project if not for a tier-3. It has to be something significant for him to leave everything behind and gain his family approval to stay at that place."
Qin Nianzu listened to his adviser patiently. "What is the position of the company he had signed a contract with?" He was not even interested in the company's name and went straight for its influence.
The adviser expressions altered somewhat. In a ton that hinted at disapproval, he said. "The company used to be a big name in the past. However in the recent few years, it had lost its influence After the new President took over, she had made some drastic changes that had all resulted in positive changes. But majorly, the rise of shares was because of the 'Li' family investment." The adviser stated the truth.
"She?" Qin Nianzu's interest was piqued.
"She. The new president is female. Since the last president didn't have any male descendants."
"Interesting." Qin Nianzu said silently. For a female to have been able to strike a deal with the 'Li' family on her own, it was truly interesting. After all, not many families would hand over the power to females. They would be greatly prejudiced. So once a female showed her expertise, one could not help but praise. "What is the name of the company?" Qin Nianzu finally asked. For some reason, he felt as if there was more to this situation than what met the eye.
Especially since Li Zhiqiang had been very secretive of the whole process, Qin Nianzu could tell that there was something amiss. &
nbsp;
"Uhm... It's just a small company. Sorry, I think I forgot the name. Let me retrieve the documents." The advisor quickly went to fetch the papers.
His words 'just a small company' might have struck a nerve of some people but it was the bitter truth. In front of superpowers like the Qin and the Li family, that company was rather unimpressive.
"Mr. Qin, here." The adviser handed over the document he compiled regarding the Tang enterprise.
Although Qin Nianzu found this small company and it's female President interesting, the effect was not that profound. However, once his eyes fell upon the name 'Tang enterprise', his eyes visibly widened.
