Free Web NovelChapter 176: Congratulatory gift
Chen Lina had all along been aware of the feud between Chens and Lus after Daisy ran away from her wedding with the youngest son of the Lu Family.
When she got this proposal from the Lu Corporations to sell her shares for greater benefits, she did her own investigations and the more she calculated, the more she became certain that the heir of the Lus, Lu Xian must be planning to take over the company and extend the influence of Lus by asserting dominance over Chens.
So, she sold her shares in the end and urged Director Yu to do the same. When Lu Xian succeeded, Daisy, no matter how cunning she was, would be kicked off her chair.
Hence, she had been reluctant to sign the papers, afraid that the process of share transfer would be nullified before Lu Xian could stake his claim on them.
’’President Lu...’’ Chen Lina called him again.
The rest of the people already had their faces ashened. All of them recognized the man in front of them. Combined with Chen Lina’s enthusiastic gestures, they were reminded of Caleb’s words from earlier. And everyone had the same fear in their hearts.
If the shares were sold to the heir of the Lu Family then their company which was on the verge of revival, wouldn’t it be cornered into a dead end this time? Not only did the Chen and Lu families have pre-existing bad blood between them, but it is a known fact that the Lu family had their deep-rooted power in the underworld. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Suddenly, they realized the reason for the urgency behind Daisy’s actions.
She was worried they would fall into an irreversible situation which is why she had implemented the series of actions the way she did but they misunderstood her. Her calculations and actions were precise but because of them and their protests, she could not act in time.
Their gazes towards her were filled with guilt and remorse but the way they looked at her had completely changed. Their eyes were filled with a different light when they looked at her.
Daisy was clueless about their internal reflection. Her eyes were focused on the man who was walking towards her.
’’President Lu... President Lu...’’ Worried that he missed her voice, Chen Lina called out again.
Lu Xian’s footsteps, however, did not falter in the slightest. He only stopped in front of Daisy, ’’You seemed very tired earlier. I didn’t expect to see you here in this meeting.’’
’’Neither did I expect to see you at Chen Corporations.’’
’’I was upset that I could not congratulate you properly. So, I had made my own arrangements for a decent congratulatory gift for you.’’
The conversation between them left everyone shocked, including Secretary Han. When Helian Chen was around, the man usually asked Secretary Han to keep a loose eye on his daughters so as to make it possible for him to be there for them whenever they needed. And Secretary Han did come across certain instances of Lu Xian encountering Daisy but he did not think much of it. With the history between the Lu Family and the Chen Family, even if the heir of the Lu family met the rightful heiress of the Chen Family, the only possibility between them would be rivalry.
What else, he had also found that Daisy’s relationship with Ryle was complicated as well and Daisy was not especially fond of Ryle.
But now, from his observation, Ryle Harper seemed to have the highest potential of becoming his master in the future. However, Lu Xian was still a plot twist. Why was the man behaving so cozy?
’’A gift?" Daisy did not ask the man to take a seat and that made everyone be on the edge.
They felt like it was not a good idea to offend Lu Xian at a critical juncture like this.
’’Some little birdie told me that there have been riots in your company after you took over your father’s position. I could not do much but...’’ Lu Xian pulled out some papers and placed them in front of Daisy.
’’The share transfer papers...’’ Chen Lina’s expression changed. Initially, she thought that the man did not hear her but now, the weight of the truth was gradually descending on her.
Daisy moved from her position and held the paper in her hands. She leaned back on the desk and flipped through the papers. The shares that both Chen Lina and Director Yu held, a total of 7% shares had been transferred to Lu Xian’s name.
’’You thought it was a good idea to acquire my company shares and gift them to me?"
’’Not at all. But it was a good idea for me to take out two rats who could have harmed you in the future,’’ Lu Xian tucked his hands inside his pocket and pointed his chin at the two people who were restrained by Daisy’s bodyguards. freeweɓnøvel.com
’’Will you be that kind?" Daisy flipped through the papers casually and finding nothing wrong with them, she placed them down.
She turned around to look at the two people who were looking absolutely betrayed, especially Chen Lina. Director Yu simply looked at Chen Lina with a questioning gaze as if to question her on what they should do from there on. But Chen Lina looked as if her world had come crashing down.
Daisy then looked at Lu Xian, the perpetrator behind Chen Lina’s misery. It was not hard for her to visualize how things must have transpired if the person involved was Lu Xian. He must have lured these people by dropping breadcrumbs and selling false hopes of greater profits. If it was Lu Xian, then she could understand why it was very easy for her to track Chen Lina’s and Director Yu’s involvement in these matters in such a short amount of time.
She could have still tracked them down if he made it difficult for her. But the reason why she did not have to put much effort into it was because he let her track them down.
