Chapter 1188: Insatiable Greed
Old Master Leng’s words stabbed straight into Leng Jinchen’s heart. With the sadness of someone who just got accused of something she did not do, she burst into tears.
“Dad, how could you say that about me? Didn’t you see how badly your grandson treats me? I…”
“Serves you right!”
Old Master Leng understood what happened in the board meeting. As for Leng Jinchen, he was now convinced that he had treated this daughter too well. He raised her into an idiot who was blinded by greed.
“Dad, how can you say that about me? Do you know what Leng Qirui did while you were unconscious? He actually got an outsider—that’s him! Luo Cheng!—into the company!” Leng Jinchen pointed at Luo Cheng and continued, “He insisted on making him the CEO. All the senior executives in the company strongly opposed it. To prevent Leng Group from falling into someone else’s hands, we could only collectively resign just to make Lil Rui take back his orders. But do you know what Lil Rui did? He sent those people to jail! He arrested those who were simply obeying orders to resign to prompt Leng Qirui to retract Luo Cheng’s appointment. Dad, Lil Rui is not suitable for this position at all. He has destroyed the senior executives of Leng Group and subsequently, Leng Group—!”
Leng Jinchen’s tearful complaints were met with only two words from the old master and the old madam—
“Bulls.h.i.+t!”
Leng Jinchen, “…”
17 executives who had resigned, “…”
“Jinchen, your mother and I both considered the fact that you don’t have a good marriage, and we want you to lead a better life in the future after we die. We want you to have something to rely on. After our discussion, we’ve decided to let you work in the company. However, you must understand that a married daughter is like spilled water. You made your choice that ended up in a bad marriage. You can’t blame anyone. We only have one son, and your brother only has one son, Lil Rui. Lil Rui will lead Leng Group in the future. There’s no doubt about that.
“But you? After something happened to us, you joined forces with your elder sister to threaten your big brother. After your big brother pa.s.sed the shares to Lil Rui, you disregarded the kindness your big brother had shown you over the past few decades. Your accusations disappointed him. Honestly, when we watched how the two of you fought for the inheritance outside our ward, your mother and I really wanted to rush out and slap the both of you!”
Leng Jinchen’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You… you’re… you’re fine???”
“Yes, we’re fine. When Lil Rui was injured, he told us that Ye Hai was up to something and told us to be careful. Plus, Lil Rui’s friend, Miss Nangong from the Nangong family got someone to protect us, so your mother and I weren’t injured at all. Sorry to disappoint you two since you’re not inheriting anything.”
“Dad, it’s not like that at all. I’ve been worried sick when you and Mom were hospitalized!”
“Worried? Worried that you won’t have more shares in the inheritance? Leng Jinchen, do you know how ugly that greedy face of yours looks?” Grandma Leng usually treated her daughter the best because she felt sorry for Leng Jinchen. Therefore, it was understandable that her disappointment was tremendous.
Recalling how she yelled at Leng Jinpeng repeatedly in the hospital, Leng Jinchen knew that she was doomed. Now, she could only pretend to be pitiful and let tears flow freely down her face. Then, she called out pitifully, “Mom!”
