Chapter 103 Pseudo Queen
After Jiang Yue made sure that her grandfather and w.a.n.g Huo had been taken cared of, she immediately started doing the second stage if her plan.
The first stage involves keeping her grandfather safe and hiding w.a.n.g Huo from Wu Ziliang.
She will make sure that Wu Ziliang will become a pseudo queen with no king. She already asked w.a.n.g Huo and w.a.n.g Minghua and both of them agreed to announce this announcement during the summit.
Of course, w.a.n.g Huo will still not show his face. They will have the Wu Family announce everything without doing something to confirm it.
This plan might sound impossible at first because no soon to be bride would announce her marriage in the public without her fiance.
However, Wu Ziliang is not just any bride. She is one h.e.l.l of a crazy one.
Jiang Yue is sure that this woman would be proud and even excited to do this. And true enough, Wu Ziliang shouted from too much joy when she heard this news from Jiang Yue.
However, unlike her, Wu Sheng felt that the w.a.n.g Family is planning something. Any sane person could see the signs.
Jiang Yue and even w.a.n.g Minghua are acting as if they approve of this marriage even encouraging Wu Ziliang to announce it. To Wu Sheng, this seems like they are brewing something.
"Hmp! Why are you always thinking like this? Something bad here... Something bad there... are you trying to curse my marriage?" Wu Ziliang sneered the moment Wu Sheng voice out his opinions on the matter.
"Dad, you must not listen to Wu Sheng. He is just too jealous. His wife divorced him and left with another man. That"s why he doesn"t want me to be happy as well." She added while giving her brother a mocking glare. This Wu Sheng is always thinking about bad stuff... Does he really want her to marry the man of her dreams?
"Sheng"er stop overthinking things. w.a.n.g Huo already agreed to marry your sister. There is no turning back anymore,"
"With the absence of w.a.n.g Guiren, no one would have the courage to go against us anymore." Grandfather Wu explained.
"But father, don"t you think it is weird? Jiang Yue and w.a.n.g Minghua looked like two paid actors. They were always smiling at us when we went to see Old Man w.a.n.g."
"It looks like they already accepted the fact that w.a.n.g Huo will marry Ziliang. At first, that is what I thought as well. Maybe they already ran out of options."
"But now that they asked Ziliang to announce it during the summit then I can"t help but feel that something..."
"Enough!"Before Wu Sheng finished his sentence, Grandfather Wu already interjected. "What do you think a couple of kids can do?"
"They can play around as much as they want. It will not change the fact that Ziliang will marry w.a.n.g Huo and we will continue to buy shares from the w.a.n.g Group."
"In a year. We will be co-owner of the w.a.n.g Group."
"And we will have of equal value and prestige with the Fu Family."
Wu Sheng stared at his father without saying anything. His father told him after w.a.n.g Guiren left abroad that he wanted to acquire the w.a.n.g Group so the Wu Family will be equal to the Fu family in terms of wealth and power.
Wu Sheng tried to ask the reason behind this but his father only said that he is doing it for Wu Minxia. His father said that the Fu Family would easily accept Wu Minxia if she will have equal standing as them.
Until now, Wu Sheng still thought that his father is withholding something from him.
Something really important.
"Anyway, just be happy for your Elder Sister okay? You don"t have to be jealous or anything." Wu Ziliang said before raising her wine gla.s.s and looking at his father.
"To Madam w.a.n.g." She beamed while waiting for her father and brother to pick up their own wine gla.s.s and clink it against hers.
"To Madam w.a.n.g!" The father and son"s voice echoed followed by the chiming clink and the laughter of Wu Ziliang.
What a celebration indeed.
....
What they don"t know is that while they were busy celebrating, Jiang Yue is also doing all she could to finish what she started.
It was a cold day. Four days before the summit.
An old man was frowning while glancing at his watch.
"Father, are you sure that she will come?" A youthful voice echoed inside the private room of a restaurant in Xin City.
"That b*tch blackmailed me! Of course, she will come!"
"But she is already more than ten minutes late? What if... what if she was just playing with you?"
"She? A mere woman has the courage to play with me? Does she still want to live?" The old man retorted. A few hours ago he received some scandalous images of his Son and his secret rendezvous with people of the same s.e.x.
His grandson is a rising star in the entertainment industry, and these images will cost him his career.
After receiving the email, a voice message came with the time and address. This voice came from a woman, so he immediately a.s.sumed that the one who blackmailed him was a woman.
The old man wanted to curse again when he heard a clear voice behind him.
"Of course, I would still want to live." The old man"s pupils dilated upon seeing a beautiful young woman accompanied by a stern man who looked like her bodyguard sit across them.
"Good Afternoon Mr. Chu. I hope that you"ve been well. Let me introduce myself. I am..."
"Jiang Yue!" the youth exclaimed while staring at the beauty in front of him.
"You are right. You may call me Miss Jiang." She said while giving the old man and his son a smile.
"Miss Jiang I don"t understand. You... Are you the one who is trying to blackmail my father with my secret lifestyle?" the youth immediately asked, confused.
He knows Jiang Yue from the previous rumors and news about her and her sister. Aside from that Jiang Yue is also a top student of the National Exams.
With her current qualifications, the youth can"t understand why she would retort to blackmail.
What does she want?
"Let"s not talk about the blackmail or the images. Let"s talk about stocks."
"I am here to buy your seven percent shares in the Wu Conglomerate. I will give you two choices."
"Option one. You let me buy it no questions asked. Then I will give you the original copy of these images."
"Option two. You will let me buy it no questions asked. Then I will burn all of these images and original copy in front of you."
"Which one would you like to choose?"
Jiang Yue"s intimidating aura and direct questions made Old Man Chu s.h.i.+ver. He is clearly talking to a lady who is not even twenty years old.
Why does it seem like he is afraid of her?
