Chapter 144 Diamond

The atmosphere in the Wu Family"s room was dark.

Gloomy.

As if someone died or it was a very bad place.

Wu Minxia was currently crying her eyes out on her bed and refused to talk to anyone.

She couldn"t take the fact that she had lost to someone like Jiang Yue. How will she face the world now?

How about her family? Will they become a laughing stock after this?

What about the shares? Will Jiang Yue really take the five percent shares of their company?

Meanwhile, Wu Sheng and Old Man Wu were sitting at the patio.. Staring at the horizon. Each engrossed in their own thoughts.

How did this happen? This summit brought them nothing but embarra.s.sment after embarra.s.sment.

Old Man Wu clenched his jaw while thinking of Jiang Yue"s provoking words.

"That girl needs to disappear. She had caused us too much damage and loss of millions of money." He said before gritting his teeth.

"I agree." Wu Sheng nodded. Although he does not usually do things like this, he believed this woman was an exception. "However, it will be very hard for us to harm her with the Fu Family"s protection."

"Now that she showed everyone her skills, the Fu Family will also double their efforts to protect her. After all, they will also benefit from all of this. For someone as skilled as her, to be the future matriarch... it would be an advantage for the Fu Family." He added.

Old Man Wu nodded in response. He understood this. And he was trying badly to make a plan to eliminate Jiang Yue.

"Another concern for us is Ziliang"s marriage. How are we supposed to tell her that we are canceling her engagement?" Wu Sheng asked. His sister was another problem. He cannot imagine how Wu Ziliang will react after they tell her this.

"We need to cancel that engagement... This time I know Jiang Yue is laying a trap for us." Old Man Wu answered. He was already contemplating if proposing this engagement was a mistake.

After all, everything started because of this engagement. Okay, that was not actually true, since he had been eyeing the w.a.n.g Group for a long time already. Still, he somehow thought that it was this engagement that provoked Jiang Yue.

"How about the shares? Are we going to give them to her?" Wu Sheng asked.

"Of course we will... I don"t want to lose any more face. It"s just five percent anyway."

"Father... I think we need to think this through... Who knows what else that menace will do against us? We already know that she is extremely smart. With her skills... I think... She will be unstoppable if she gets serious."

Old Man Wu immediately furrowed his brows. His son was right. That woman was indeed a menace. "Then I need to think this through... We still have two days before the summit ends. By the way... what about the Moon Corp? Have you heard anything from them?"

"No. The same reason. The person told me that their CEO was at this summit. Yet, I haven"t been able to see any of the Moon Corp"s representative here... I..."

"What?" Old Man Wu asked after sensing his son"s hesitation.

"I think the CEO is intentionally hiding from us. This just doesn"t add up. This person is now our second biggest shareholder. Just next to our 30%, yet he seems to avoid us." He explained."Also, I never heard any answer from the Huang"s. As if... they fear talking to us. What if... What if we offended someone influential, and they want to take over our company?"

"That a.s.sumption is only possible if I offended someone, which I did not. Or at least I don"t remember offending someone capable of doing something like that in such a short period of time." Old Man Wu answered while ma.s.saging his temples. This was causing him too much stress.

Wu Sheng nodded without saying anything. Still, this did not lessen his suspicions.

What if his suspicions were true?

But who could it be? Only the Fu Family can do something like this and that was just... impossible.

Due to his father the Fu Family will not touch them.

So could it be...?

Could it be Jiang Yue?

But... But how did she obtain the Huang"s shares? The Huang Family were ruthless and extremely dangerous because of their ties with the underworld.

NO... It was impossible. Jiang Yue might be smart and talented, but she was but a child. How could she stand toe to toe against the Huang Family?

Isn"t that a little... extravagant for her age?

"What is all this? Why is everyone so gloomy?"A bubbly voice was heard which made the duo turn their heads towards its source.

"Ziliang... good thing that you are here. Come sit."Old Man Wu said as he gestured for his daughter to sit beside them.

"Father why are you so... you look as if someone died. Is there any problem?" She asked before putting down her luggage and walking towards her father and brother.

"Something happened..."

"Oh before I forgot... I need to find w.a.n.g Huo... Hmp! I haven"t seen him since we went to the hospital to see Old Man w.a.n.g... I am so excited about the announcement of our engagement. I already bought a ring... here look." She excitedly said before showing her hand to the duo. "Ahhhh... I can"t stop myself...It looks so good on my hand. This diamond looks so gorgeous, isn"t it?"

"What do you think father?" She asked.

The atmosphere immediately dropped after Wu Ziliang said those words. She even spent millions on an engagement ring? What will she do when they tell her that they need to cancel this engagement?
