Xie Xiu Ling arrived at Jing Corporation around 5 p.m.
"Mr. Shen?"
Xie Xiu Ling was shocked when she saw Shen Feng Xing in Jing Mo Chen"s office.
Xie Xiu Ling was even more surprised when she saw Princess Luana in Jing Mo Chen"s office.
From what Xie Xiu Ling knew, Jing Corporation is fighting against Heinrich Corporation. E"s Corporation was working with Heinrich Corporation, and Princess Luana knew people from E"s Corporation. Hence, she supposed that Princess Luana was working with Heinrich Corporation now, and that was why she was stunned to see Princess Luana in Jing Mo Chen"s office.
More importantly, Xie Xiu Ling was intrigued by the relations.h.i.+p between Jing Mo Chen, Princess Luana, and Shen Feng Xing. Shen Feng Xing was very against Heinrich Corporation, and Jing Mo Chen was fighting against Heinrich Corporation. Yet, they were sitting peacefully and laughing along with their enemy, Princess Luana.
Then again, Xie Xiu Ling remembered that she heard rumors about Princess Luana being interested in Jing Mo Chen. Hence, on second thought, she wasn"t that surprised.
Mo Xi looked into Xie Xiu Ling"s eyes and knew that she could be trusted.
Mo Xi didn"t want to reveal her ident.i.ty to too many people, but she needed to look at Xie Xiu Ling to see if she was trustable. Hence, the only way to do that was to show herself to Xie Xiu Ling while she looked into Xie Xiu Ling"s eyes.
Although Mo Xi could hide at the side while she looked into Xie Xiu Ling"s eyes, Xie Xiu Ling also had to know about her. That was because if she needed Xie Xiu Ling to trust them and help them, she would need to trust Xie Xiu Ling as well.
If Xie Xiu Ling only saw Jing Mo Chen and Shen Feng Xing, she could have thought that Shen Feng Xing had turned evil and wanted to steal the shares of the Xiao Corporation. Or, Jing Mo Chen was using Shen Feng Xing to get the shares of Xiao Corporation. After all, in Xie Xiu Ling"s point of view, neither Shen Feng Xing nor Jing Mo Chen was blood-related to the Xiao family. Hence, betrayal could happen at any point in time. Moreover, even blood-related people like Xiao Lan Yu had also betrayed her own parents, so let alone people who were not related.
However, if Mo Xi was around, she could explain to Xie Xiu Ling what was going on and why she was Princess Luana. She could make Xie Xiu Ling trust her that she had no bad intention because she had laid out everything in front of Xie Xiu Ling. No one would dare to let someone that they don"t trust to know everything about themselves.
More importantly, people with bad intentions would neer review their weakest point to others. Hence, what Mo Xi was trying to do was to reveal her most vulnerable side to Xie Xiu Ling to make her trust them, and that was also because Mo Xi knew that Xie Xiu Ling could be trusted now.
If Xie Xiu Ling couldn"t be trusted, she would not tell her about her ident.i.ty, and she would just pretend that she was here to woo Jing Mo Chen.
"I know that this is very complicated and surprising for you. However, Xiao Rong Yao is my grandfather. I asked for you today because we intend to fake my grandfather"s death so that Shen Nan Kun wouldn"t lay his hands on him just for the shares of Xiao Corporation. No one else in the Xiao family except for Shen Nan Kun and Xiao Lan Yu knew about my existence before today. They are responsible for my parents" death, and I was supposed to be dead. However, someone saved my life, and I managed to escape from their claws twenty-four years ago..."
Mo Xi then proceeded on to explain to Xie Xiu Ling why she was at Jing Corporation and who she really was.
Xie Xiu Ling was actually very dumbfounded when she listened to what Mo Xi had said, but her face didn"t show anything as she remained calm on the surface.
After listening to Mo Xi, Xie Xiu Ling didn"t let down her guard immediately. Instead, she looked at Mo Xi and spoke harshly to test Mo Xi.
"Are you trying to ask me for the shares of Xiao Corporation? If so, then I am getting out of here."
As a lawyer that had seen a lot of things, Xie Xiu Ling could see through a person if they were after anything if she spoke harshly. People who were after shares would be anxious if she wanted to leave and would start to panic. Their faces and eyes would also show what they were after the moment she tried to leave. Even the best actors couldn"t escape her eyes whenever she used this method. Hence, even though Mo Xi had already explained everything, Xie Xiu Ling still wanted to be sure that Mo Xi wasn"t lying by testing her.
"I am not asking for the shares. I am asking you to keep those shares safe from Shen Nan Kun when we fake grandfather"s death. If Shen Nan Kun wants to get those shares, please don"t let him get it. We just want to protect what our grandparents fought hard to build and, more importantly, keep the country safe."
Xie Xiu Ling looked at Mo Xi, and she could see that Mo Xi was a genuine person. Mo Xi had never avoided looking at her eyes once throughout their talk. Hence, she believed that whatever Mo Xi had said was true and decided to help them.
After all, Xiao Rong Yao had also tasked Xie Xiu Ling to protect the shares and keep the company safe. Hence, if Mo Xi and the others could really help to do those things while Xiao Rong Yao was in a comma, then she would also do her part to help them.
