An Ruo was momentarily stupefied before quickly taking a seat on the sofa. She shuffled through the documents to read them.
All of this was true. With this evidence, it was enough to bankrupt Uncle.
She had originally given up hope of getting the shares back, but seeing the evidence, she began to feel hatred again. She wanted to reclaim the shares and punish her uncle, not wanting to let him get away with it so easily.
However, the thought of An Xin being harmed because of her made her waver slightly.
Tang Yuchen saw through her thoughts at a glance, and he said indifferently, "You can send a copy to An Mingqi and settle this matter privately with him. Let’s see what he does."
An Ruo’s eyes lit up. "I understand... Thank you."
"Oh, impressive. You’re actually thanking me." The man raised his eyebrows in surprise, his tone devoid of mockery.
"No matter what, I should thank you for this."
"We are husband and wife; no need for thanks."
An Ruo met his profound gaze, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She quickly looked away.
What does being husband and wife mean?
The term felt so foreign to her, yet why did it also feel so familiar?
Once An Ruo had made up her mind, she sent the copy to An Mingqi, along with a brief letter that contained a single sentence.
[We can settle this matter privately.]
When An Mingqi received the items sent by An Ruo, he did not panic.
He tossed the items to An Xin and said coldly, "Didn’t you say you could handle it? Look, Tang Yuchen even slept with you, and in the end, he still gave the evidence to An Ruo. He is on An Ruo’s side. You foolish girl, trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!"
An Xin smiled smugly, looking completely confident.
"Dad, don’t worry just yet. I understand An Xin; she is a woman who is easily swayed by emotions. Just look at the letter she sent. She doesn’t want to be too harsh on us, which means there’s still room for maneuvering. Why don’t we use this to our advantage and ultimately destroy her..."
"What plan do you have in mind?"
"I’ve thought everything through, even this scenario. Dad, you can trust me when I’m in charge; I won’t let you down..."
After sending off the items, An Ruo speculated about how her uncle would handle the situation.
If he showed no remorse and stubbornly refused to hand over the shares, then she would formally sue him and give him no further chances.
If he agreed to settle privately and showed sincerity, she would not press him further.
Ultimately, Uncle’s fate would depend on his attitude.
An Ruo did not have to wait long; the next day, An Mingqi requested to meet her in person.
She informed Tang Yuchen about the meeting, and the man did not object to her going. "Go ahead, hear what he has to say."
An Ruo hesitated slightly. Not knowing if it was her being overly suspicious, she worried that Uncle might harm her.
"What’s wrong?" Tang Yuchen’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Should I really go? Could he possibly..." she paused, "... take drastic measures?"
The man laughed heartily, his tone overflowing with confidence and arrogance: "Does he have the courage? Go without worry; he wouldn’t dare do anything to you."
Even if there was a real attempt to harm her, a perfect trap would be set and they would clear themselves of any involvement. Otherwise, if something were to happen to her on the way to meet An Mingqi, he wouldn’t let them off either.
An Mingqi, cunning and seasoned, was well aware of his own modus operandi and wouldn’t foolishly take such a risk.
