Lin Xiaojuan arrived at Rose Castle. Gu Xie did not enter, and he left upon dropping her off. He had a contract to deal with. Shen Qianshu was reading a document in the living room, and although her arm was wrapped in layers, she looked normal. She did not seem as if she was heavily injured.
Shen Qianshu raised her head and smiled at her.
“Xiaojuan, come over for some dessert. These almond cakes just came out fresh from the oven, and they taste great. Why didn’t Movie King Gu come in with you?”
“He has something on.” Lin Xiaojuan came over. She had just eaten, so she was not hungry. She was not tempted by the dessert at all. She looked at Shen Qianshu and frowned slightly. “Let me ask you about your gunshot wound… Did you get someone to do it?”
“Yeah.” Shen Qianshu smiled. She was not intending to hide it from her.
Lin Xiaojuan was mad. “You’re crazy!”
“Almost.”
“You-”
Shen Qianshu smiled and said, “Don’t worry. This wound was from the stray bullet previously. The bullet didn’t hit me. I just exaggerated it.”
“A bullet doesn’t have eyes. What if someone bribed the man you paid? Did someone shoot you in the head or something? Can’t you be more careful about your actions?”
“Won’t.”
“Is this all worth it just for the Ye Family?”
“Honestly, Precious inspired me.”
Tong Hua said, “Not my problem!”
Tong Hua came down from upstairs. They had not told Lin Xiaojuan about this matter because they were afraid that she would panic. They were also afraid that Lin Xiaojuan would yell at her, so they did not tell her about it. Gu Xie must have been the one who told her even though Gu Xie never interfered with the matters of Ghost City.
He got her the news real quick.
Nothing could be hidden from him.
If it could not even be hidden from Gu Xie, could she hide it from Shifu?
If Shifu knew, he would probably tell Ye Old Lady.
But so what?
Even if the Ye Old Lady made a huge fuss, who would believe her?
“I’m impressed.” Lin Xiaojuan was really unhappy. The person who she had always been protecting actually resorted to self-harm. Things were getting increasingly overboard. They even hid things from her. How could she not be angry?
Shen Qianshu held her hand and said softly, “Xiaojuan, isn’t this very effective?”
“What’s next? What do you intend to do?”
“Make them bankrupt,” Shen Qianshu said. “Just wait. In the next two days, they will go bankrupt.”
Based on what Shen Qianshu had said, Ye Bao and Ye Feifei were still lying in bed. The stocks in their company had fallen steeply. Ye Tingjun and Ye Manfang had been buying down a lot privately, holding their company in place. They used some readymade companies to divert attention.
Ye Feifei’s company was basically all her dowry. She had gotten married at a young age, and at that time, AG had not been on the market. She could not get AG’s shares, but she had two other companies under the name. Those companies were all involved in this desperate situation. Ye Feifei never thought that Shen Qianshu would be so quick, so she kept asking for help from the Lu Family.
The Lu Family had been very orderly lately.
No matter how chaotic things were getting between the Ye Family and Shen Qianshu, Lu Mengxi ordered that no one should ever get involved in their matters.
As for Ye Feifei asking for help… Lu Mengxi rejected her.
“We would love to, but we can’t!”
Ye Feifei was lying in bed, and she could not get up. Her face was pale. After being rejected, she was embarrassed and angry. “Mengxi, get your uncle here.”
“Aunt, this is an issue between the Ye Family and Ye Ling. We are in no place to interfere.”
“HA! Hasn’t the Lu Family always been involved in our matters? Was the amount of money you took from the Ye Family too little? Back then, the company almost went bankrupt. Your third uncle sold three AG companies to save it. Now, are all of you going to watch and not offer any help?”
“It’s not that we do not want to offer any help. Shen Qianshu is a maniac. If we join in the battle with you, we will all be dead.”
