Chapter 707 - Really Despicable
Xiao Hong did intimidate Ling Wei and the rest a little, but it didn’t take long for Ling Wei to feel at ease and he smiled coldly. “Sure, if that’s the case, then us shareholders will ally ourselves with the corporation’s management and go on strike together. I don’t believe that she can hold up the whole corporation by herself!”
“Ling Wei, you are despicable!” said Xiao Hong.
“I am the corporation’s deputy CEO. Since my cousin’s not here, it is only natural for me to take over all the company’s affairs. How am I despicable?” Ling Wei disregarded Xiao Hong and looked towards Madame Ling once more. “So, Aunty, have you finished thinking things over? You are my cousin’s mother, and as long as you say the word and give my cousin’s shares to me, I doubt anyone will raise any objections. I promise to make the company grow every day and reach even greater heights. In the future, if my cousin wakes up, I’ll return the shares to him. Is this alright?”
“In addition, we of the Ling family understand the kind of relationship that you have with Ling Tianya, even if outsiders don’t know. In the future, if she really gets hold of power, she would never be obedient to you, her grandmother.”
Madame Ling appraised Ling Wei coldly. Regarding the matter of him giving the shares back to Ling Tao, she didn’t believe him at all.
She took a deep breath and scolded him fiercely, “Let me tell you, Ling Wei, don’t think that I don’t know what you are up to. You think that just because I’m old now, I’ll be easy to fool, don’t you? Whether I’m on good terms with Tianya is our family’s business. No matter how much I don’t like that lass, she is still my granddaughter! She is my son’s daughter. Even if the whole family falls, it should still be up to my granddaughter to hold it up. Everything that belongs to my son is also my granddaughter’s. There is no chance for you!”
“Old granny, don’t get ahead of yourself!”
“The one getting ahead of himself is you! Now scram!”
When Madame Ling blatantly started chasing him away, Ling Wei’s face blushed red. He was obviously angry.Read comics on our webnovel.live
Madame Ling looked left and right and picked up the water that had been used to wipe Ling Tao down earlier. She poured it all onto Ling Wei. “Haven’t you heard me telling you? Scram!” When she finished, Madame Ling even smashed the pail directly onto Ling Wei’s head.
Xiao Hong watched Madame Ling’s actions and for the first time, she realized she agreed with what the old lady was doing.
Ling Wei was hurt by the pail and got so angry that he was about to retaliate.
Xiao Hong interjected, “Ling Wei, this is a hospital run by the Ruan family. If you do whatever you want in here, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to walk out later?”
Ling Wei’s fist froze in mid-air. In the end, he grudgingly lowered it and pointed towards Madame Ling and Xiao Hong. “Alright, I can’t do anything if the two of you are so stubborn. I’ll wait and watch and will clean up the mess that is
the Ling Corporation!”
Ling Wei left with his people in a fit of anger.
Outside the room, Yu Meizi saw that someone was coming out and hurriedly moved away. She had forgotten her original intentions. All that was reverberating in her heart was Xiao Hong’s statement: Everything that belonged to Ling Tao should be inherited by his children. Thinking of this, Yu Meizi left the hospital happily and made her way to the hotel.
The ward was finally quiet. Madame Ling sank into the sofa once more, devoid of energy. In this moment, she desperately wished to see Ling Tianya as soon as possible. It was only then that she realized that the only person in the family worth depending on was the granddaughter she had disliked since childhood.
Although Ling Wei had been chased away for now, Xiao Hong knew that this matter was not over. Today, Ling Wei hadn’t managed to achieve his goals. He would definitely make another move.
He had been at the Ling Corporation for many years as the deputy CEO, his influence second only to Ling Tao’s. His influence in the company was deeply rooted. As long as he wanted revenge, the Ling Corporation would very likely become a mess.
