Free Web NovelChapter 932: Chapter 929: The Mysterious Creepy Man 7
That day, though two people had already completely severed ties, he left in despair, saying before he left: Wan Donglin is my enemy, I will never let him go.
Wan Donglin is his enemy — but is she, Yan Xixi, also his enemy?
No, deep down, she never believed she would be Huang Xiaojue’s enemy, nor did she ever doubt he would see her as one — ten years of love, countless storms in life, a man willing to give everything for you, how could he possibly scheme to harm you?
But could this be his covert warning?
It certainly doesn’t seem like it.
"Empress Dowager... I wonder, could it be Huang Xiaojue?"
Empress Dowager Liu had considered this person too, but she remained objective: "Xixi, it’s not that I don’t trust Huang Xiaojue’s character. In fact, after Donglin kidnapped you before, I investigated Huang Xiaojue very thoroughly and know him inside out. However, if it was truly the Zhou Family’s doing, there is absolutely no way he would know such core secrets..."
"But he’s about to marry Zhou Ting..."
"Don’t say about to marry; even if they’re already married, Zhou Ting would never reveal such secrets to him. I know Zhou Ting too well; her scheming surpasses not just women but most men, her lips are incredibly tight, there’s no way she’d leak such critical secrets to Huang Xiaojue..."
Because Liu Daqing knew too well, when Wan Donglin wanted to cancel the wedding, she did not object much.
For parents, family business is naturally the top priority, especially as the head of the household, it’s important to consider risks and security. However, despite that, Liu Daqing really didn’t want her son to be tangled with such a woman. Deep down she understood: if he were with Zhou Ting, there would be no marital harmony for a lifetime, just like most economic marriages, a show on the surface, privately they go their ways, and months of not seeing each other would be commonplace.
Her son found a way to call off the wedding, and she just went along with it.
Now thinking back, this inadvertent appeasement policy was so wise.
If he married this venomous daughter-in-law, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Liu Daqing didn’t know, besides Huang Xiaojue, who could be so kind to warn Yan Xixi?
"Though the Zhou Family openly acknowledged Huang Xiaojue as their son-in-law, as far as I know, Huang Xiaojue hasn’t actually entered the core interest circles of the company — what he knows about the company’s real affairs is just a drop in the ocean..."
Yan Xixi was a bit surprised: "Doesn’t that finance company count?"
Liu Daqing shook her head: "That company is co-owned by several families; although it’s a huge piece of meat, there are too many eyes on it. Zhou Ting’s family only has less than a tenth of the interest. Moreover, since last year, this family has been gradually fading that impression and introducing new shareholders to spread out the interests and say-so of other significant figures... Huang Xiaojue is merely a pawn to balance various relationships, they surely wouldn’t entrust him with the true core... As for other families, given that he’s Zhou Ting’s fiancé, they definitely guard against him even more, no matter how capable he is, he remains as a mouse in a wind box..."
Yan Xixi listened, bewildered.
In the eyes of us ordinary people, some CEOs and companies are already as impressive as they come, yet behind the scenes, they’re merely representatives, pawns, henchmen...
