Chapter 298 - 298 298 What I Told Her
?Chapter 298: Chapter 298: What I Told Her Chapter 298: Chapter 298: What I Told Her Jiang Shaoqing came back after ten minutes, his expression had returned to calm, “The Shang Family has already sent someone. I received a call, Shang Feng will be here with his daughter Shang Kaiwen in an hour!”
Bai Xiao put down her bowl, and An Zhiyuan handed her a handkerchief, which she gently accepted and gracefully wiped her mouth with unhurried elegance. They’re coming!
“That’s quite fast!”
Jiang Shaoqing snorted, “Their only child has gotten into trouble, of course, they would rush over. The Shang Family has only this one precious child; otherwise, they wouldn’t have spoiled her to the point of lawlessness. Shang Feng is no simple character, and Shang Kaiwen is even more formidable. Don’t be fooled by the fact that she’s the same age as you; her intelligence and wisdom are likely beyond the reach of many. If she weren’t a girl, I doubt Shang Kaijie would have much to do with anything. Many of the Shang Family’s major decisions are influenced by Shang Kaiwen.” Knowing the enemy as well as oneself is the key to winning without battle.
Jiang Shaoqing didn’t know when he had begun to serve as Bai Xiao’s omniscient adviser, probably since the time this girl demanded that he align with her decisive and ruthless requests. Although he didn’t know what she would do, he had shared with her all the unthinkable consequences, which also represented a form of trust.
You see, once he spread these words to the Shang Family, Bai Xiao would likely not have a place to be buried, yet this girl not only trusted him but also knew how to grasp the situation and human nature very well. Having An Zhiyuan here was already a huge backing; even if he did not support Bai Xiao, he definitely would not do anything that would disadvantage An Zhiyuan! That would truly be a cause for a fallout.
This girl must have thought things through very clearly beforehand, which is why she wanted to leave An Zhiyuan out and drag herself into this muddy water. This girl was really too cunning.
An Zhiyuan found such a wife; how would people get along in the future? An Zhiyuan’s wife would be a huge blow to many, who could marry a wife that surpasses his?
With skills like hers, her medical skills were already renowned, and with her cunning strategies, she was registered here as well. Moreover, she looked harmless and incredibly beautiful, seemingly frail and delicate! And indeed, she was! But who would dare to underestimate her! That person would be truly blind.
She was practically a demon.
A lively thousand-year-old demon.
Even more cunning and scheming than his grandfather, but if you were to say she had malicious intentions – the good reputation of Doctor Bai spoke otherwise.
The incident of the little girl Niuniu being saved in the hospital had already become a beautiful story passed around; the legendary tale of a compassionate healer, the dignified demeanor of a righteous medical practitioner. To claim such a person was harsh and crafty, even he found it hard to believe.
She would rather give up her own job and face pressure to save a child that everyone else had abandoned. To say her heart wasn’t benevolent or kind—who would believe that?
Jiang Shaoqing felt truly perplexed.
He couldn’t see clearly whether this Bai Xiao in front of him was a human or a ghost.
But was there still a chance for him to stand aside and watch the drama unfold?
Being in the game, the moment he received that phone call! He knew this wretched girl was too bad.
She had deliberately let him interrogate Shang Kaijie’s subordinate, leading the person here indirectly informing the Shang Family that he was up against them; that he was involved in this affair. He thought about leaving, but it would not be so easy!
Bai Xiao never gave him a chance to escape from the beginning.
When she heard that name, her pupils constricted, and her dark eyes suddenly widened, as black as stars in the night sky, shining bright enough to light up the heavens with their radiance.
Finally, she was about to meet Shang Kaiwen!
In her past life, she had been manipulated by her, treating her as a sister with all her heart, only to be betrayed by this friend who hurt her the deepest. Bai Xiao knew all too well how cunning Shang Kaiwen was: as clever as a fox, she would prevent anything that could harm the Shang Family and attract anything that could strengthen it. It could be said that the Shang Family’s rise to power was thanks to this once-in-a-century genius.
This woman had imprisoned her for half her life. No, more accurately, she hadn’t imprisoned her; it was she herself who couldn’t leave the Shang Family, couldn’t leave Shang Kaiwen, groveling at her feet like a dog, acting as her pawn, just for a chance to cling to life and get the Energy Potion, ignorant of the fact that she herself could have broken free from Shang Kaiwen long ago. All she had to do was ask, and many would find the Energy Medicine for her.
But unfortunately, she was like a fool! She gave all her credits to Shang Kaiwen, willingly acting as the pawn of the Shang Family without any rebellious intention, foolish enough for sure.
That’s why she harbored such deep hatred towards Shang Kaiwen.
This time she wanted to see if without her, Bai Xiao, Shang Kaiwen could still receive so much support from the big shots, and whether she could still lead the Shang Family to glory.
Heh.
Fate had already started to spin its wheel, and they were finally going to meet.
“Before you talk, I think Shang Kaijie needs to take a nap. I don’t want this guy to have any excuse to involve me in the future.” Bai Xiao didn’t think about anything else, since it had already started, there was absolutely no way to stop it.
Jiang Shaoqing blinked, this girl really could speak, brazenly asking him to open doors for her convenience.
“Shang Kaijie needs to sleep for a while, but not too long. I want him to be awake before your father arrives, just let him think he took a nap!” It was not easy to make this matter completely unnoticed.
The assistant agreed and immediately went to handle it.
“Doctor Bai! Why do I feel like you have a grudge against the Shang Family?” Jiang Shaoqing couldn’t clearly define his feeling, but he was very sensitive about this.
Bai Xiao didn’t hide it, “Yes, there is a grudge, a big one, an irreconcilable one, so I have to bring down the Shang Family.”
Jiang Shaoqing’s eyes twitched—quite an irreconcilable grudge indeed.
What does your grudge have to do with our Jiang Family?
“Don’t think it has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with the Jiang Family. This matter actually helps the Jiang Family. Don’t believe me? Wait until you see Shang Feng! You can ask him how their Tianchi Coal Mine overstepped its boundaries, how the two roof collapses in your Dongtan Coal Mine were related to them.” Bai Xiao knew these things—after all, Jiang Shaoqing was once a person of interest to Shang Kaiwen! To find Jiang Shaoqing’s weaknesses, Shang Kaiwen had thoroughly investigated him.
It was then discovered that the Shang Family and the Jiang Family had cooperated a long time ago; however, there were problems during that cooperation, intensifying the conflict between the two families, ultimately making it irreconcilable. This Dongtan Coal Mine was a major point of contention. If she wasn’t mistaken, the Jiang Family was about to face a national shock due to an accident at the Dongtan Coal Mine, which would lead to the government intervention and investigation of the Jiang Family’s coal industry.
The Jiang Family had completely withdrawn from the coal industry, giving up on this big piece of the pie, allowing the Shang Family’s rise in the coal industry, eventually reaching the top position. Otherwise, where would Shang Kaiwen get the confidence to fund her Energy Potion research?
This time, she didn’t believe that with her involvement the Shang Family could still enjoy this piece of the cake.
Jiang Shaoqing was startled, his dark eyes coldly sweeping over Bai Xiao, “How do you know so much about our family’s Dongtan Coal Mine?” They had no intersection, aside from that one time she treated the old master; Bai Xiao had nothing to do with their family. How did she know such details about the Jiang Family?
“I told her!” An Zhiyuan spoke up.
Jiang Shaoqing was frustrated, “You sure are something, telling her everything!”
“She’s my wife!” An Zhiyuan declared proudly.
Jiang Shaoqing rolled his eyes, “Fine, you’re amazing, you have a wife, you’re the boss. But why didn’t you tell me about these findings? Are we still brothers or not?” He was not happy, not at all. How could he not be furious when someone was shameless to this extent?
“It’s as if I said it if my wife said it!” An Zhiyuan could take shamelessness to the extreme.
Jiang Shaoqing glared, “Alright, from now on you’re just a whipped husband!”
“I’m happy to be! I’m happy to pamper my wife. Xiaoxiao, from now on you mustn’t tell him anything!” An Zhiyuan hinted to Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao nodded energetically! She was adorably compliant.
This backer was truly solid!
