The audience burst into an uproar when they heard Ling Wei’s words. Madame Ling was furious. She stood up, pointed at Ling Wei, and said, “You are a despicable man! You cursed my son to never wake up, and now you are saying my granddaughter is incapable!”
Madame Ling pointed at Ling Tianya and said, “My granddaughter is right there. Open up your eyes and have a good look to check if she has the capacity for action!”
Madame Ling exhaled heavily and continued, “Not only does my granddaughter have the capacity for action, but she is also the owner of Zhi Ya Entertainment and is part of the Ruan family! With her status, she miles above you! Mind what you say about my granddaughter! Aren’t you afraid that your vicious words might offend the Ruan family, and you will be in real trouble?”
Madame Ling was absolutely furious. She could not think of anything else but the Ruan family.
When the shareholders heard her mention the Ruan family, they began to waver deep down, despite being told by Ling Wei that they should support him in the meeting.
Nevertheless, humans could be selfish. There was no lasting friend, but lasting profit.
They had considered the idea of Ling Tianya being in charge, and if she was a better candidate than Ling Wei. After all, Ling Tianya was financially solid. As the owner of Zhi Ya Entertainment, Ling Tianya must be worth more than a hundred billion.
With such power and status, Ling Tianya could buy Ling corporation if she wanted, let alone simply take over.
Also, with the Ruan family on her side, she could have anything she wanted. With her in charge, at least Ling Corporation no longer needed to worry about funding problems.
Ling Tianya stood up and helped Madame Ling to sit down. She said gently, “Grandma, we don’t need to trouble the Ruan family. Messing with me alone will put my uncle in trouble already.”
Heard Ling Tianya’s confident rebuttal, the shareholders’ eyes shimmered. It was true that, just like she said, even without the Ruan family, Ling Tianya could teach Ling Wei a lesson by herself.
At this point, the shareholders’ hearts were shaken. They had only promised to help Ling Wei because they believed they were to would get a cut once Ling Wei had bought Ling Tao’s share through a deal with Madame Ling. They thought it was a done deal since Ling Wei had been so confident, calm, and sure.
However, it was not like that at all. Ling Wei was bluffing.
Ling Wei saw the reaction from the shareholders. He chuckled and said, “Don’t be mad, Great Aunt. There was nothing wrong with my words. The children of my cousin are all without the capacity for action.”
Everyone was shocked.
What did Ling Wei mean?
Ling Tianya looked at Ling Wei with coldness in her eyes. In her heart, she could tell something was wrong.
Ling Wei raised his head, looked at everyone present, and said with sincerity, “Everyone, I was not talking nonsense, nor cursing anyone! Everything that I have said has been the truth. Ling Tianxin, the daughter of my cousin, is mentally disturbed. Though she is an adult, mentally, she is only about 7 or 8 years old. How could someone like that take on the responsibility?”
Ling Wei pointed at Xiao Hong and said, “As for the baby inside Xiao Hong, it has not yet been born. And no one knows if it’s a boy or a girl. How is that child capable of action?”
Ling Wei’s words confused the audience once again. Even if those two didn’t, Ling Tianya surely had the capability for action.
Ling Wei locked his eyes on Ling Tianya and said, “And for my great-niece, I am so sorry. I know what I am about to say might be devastating for you, but I will say it anyway.” Ling Wei paused and said, “Miss Ling Tianya, you are not my cousin Ling Tao’s daughter!”
