She’s Hard to Get - C291 Tower Nocturnal Chat

He was only the second and third in the beginning. Even if the Xu Family was strong and sturdy, she would still not be able to withstand these waves of attacks.

“What do you mean, all of you blame my wife?”

Ling Tian could not bear to listen any longer. He was willing to listen to these old fellows talk about this because they were Xu Mengyun’s relatives or else he would have kicked them out long ago. They had so much shares in their hands, but Meng Yun had not bought them back in all these years.

Since they were so worried about Xu’s’s share price, then he could just follow today’s share price and buy all of their stocks. In any case, it was just a small amount that she didn’t care about.

Xu Mengyun had always given them preferential treatment, the dividends they had obtained in the past few years were already much more than the actual value of the stocks, but selling them off now was practically cutting off their road to riches. According to their usual level of spending, this amount of money was probably not enough to last them until their death.

Otherwise, they would shut their mouths and leave everything to Xu Mengyun to handle on their own. Or else, they would sell the shares in their hands and use the money to draw a clear line between them and the Xu Group. From then on, they would not interfere in the internal affairs of the group.

“Mengyun, is this what you meant?”

The elders of the Xu Family did not want to sell their shares, but they did not want to lose the right to speak in the Xu Family.

Now that they were completely out of the Xu Group’s business, they couldn’t help but hesitate a little, so they shifted the pressure onto Xu Mengyun, hoping that she could let them keep their current privileges.

“Actually, I feel that Ling Tian was right, the Xu’s is not like how it was before, there will definitely be some fluctuations, and we don’t even know how many dividends from the end of the year there are. If a few elders are worried, we might as well sell the shares in our hands, since we are already old, and with this money, we can properly enjoy life.”

In fact, Xu Mengyun had already thought of taking all the shares for her own use, and from Ouyang Jue’s incident, she felt that the company’s shareholders could not be too large, in fact, the amount that the elders had was not much, according to the rules of the company, they were not qualified to enter the board of directors, but in the name of the elders of Xu Family, Xu Mengyun could only put them on the list at every meeting.

However, these people could not give his any concrete suggestions, they were only calculating his own profits, and she had already harbored such thoughts, just that he was not able to open his mouth because of their blood relation, and now that Ling Tian was willing to say these things, it just happened to suit her intentions.

“Meng Yun, you!” They never thought that this junior would dare to speak to them in such a manner. However, just as these people were about to get angry, Ling Tian had already stood in front of Xu Mengyun. He was currently the wife of the Ling Family, so he could not be questioned by anyone with such a tone.

“Meng Yun, you go out. What do you want them to say to me?”

Ling Tian told Xu Mengyun to leave so that she wouldn’t feel too awkward here. She was related to them by blood, but she wasn’t, and the fear these people had towards him was something that Ling Tian had long ago. They were fortunate to find him, a powerful family marriage, but at the same time, they were afraid of how strong Ling Tian’s abilities were.

Some people obediently sold the shares in their hands, while some other people also packed their things and planned to leave quickly. The last person who left was a distant relative of Xu Mengyun’s, she kept saying that she was an orphan and had told Ling Tian to take care of her, and this was something Xu Mengyun’s father had promised to do.

“There are only two choices here: sell or not sell. If you don’t want to sell your shares, then go back and wait patiently.” Ling Tian hated these people who kidnapped people based on their seniority. If Xu Mengyun’s father really promised her something before she died, then she could go and clarify things with Xu Mengyun’s father.

“How can you say something like that, Xu Group is someone with the surname Xu, not someone with the surname Ling!” The elders of the Xu Family began to feel that they were luring a wolf into the house. What Ling Tian was doing now was simply wanting to annex the Xu’s, and even though Xu Mengyun had been in charge of the Xu Group for many years, they had helped out before, but now, Ling Tian wanted to kick them all out.

Although her room was soundproofed, she felt that she could still hear him. She stood at the window of her bedroom looking at the distant tower, where the light was bright and she could not hear anything from there, but she knew that the argument inside the tower was definitely worse than her own.

She seemed to have heard a kind of weeping, and it was very sad, causing the entire Xu Family Mansion to be covered by a layer of haze.

The moment she returned to the Xu Family’s mansion, she had someone send a computer to Ning Caier. She could search for anything on the internet, but she could not contact the outside world on her own. No matter what social networking software it was, it was useless. Ouyang Jue could call her, but she could not call Ouyang Jue.

Although she had only unilaterally accepted information from the outside world, it had still allowed Ning Caier to rid herself of that kind of lonely life she had in the past few days. This was the result she had always wanted to see, as she continuously said that she wanted to know what was happening in the outside world instead of being placed here like a block of wood that didn’t know anything.

However, this cruel truth had appeared in front of her, causing his to suffer an even greater blow, so Xu Mengyun wanted to look for her. After all, it would take a while for Ling Tian to settle those elders, and she did not want anyone to cry in her room.

She had not talked about business at home ever since Ling Tian had lived here. She did not want that guest who accidentally offended her to be hacked into two pieces by Ling Tian. Even the tower that was used to entertain guests had been left empty. It was only when Ning Caier moved in that there was a trace of popularity.

As such, when she stepped onto this staircase, she felt a little strange. It was as if she couldn’t remember just how lonely the night in this tower was. The lamps in the corridor were actually so dim that they painted the surrounding walls with a sinister air. A damp smell was emitted from the walls, as if it was filled with water vapor.

In this kind of environment, Xu Mengyun regretted not putting an elevator in the tower. Tonight, the tower looked very much like a female ghost coming and going, as if Xu Mengyun would only need to turn his head to see a soul standing behind her.

Xu Mengyun almost ran up to the tower in one breath, if not she would always feel a cold wind behind her back, the cold wind made her feel very uncomfortable, she had already decided to let Ling Tian come and pick her up. In such a gloomy place, she did not want to go down by herself anymore.

She opened the door to Ning Caier’s room, the warm light made her feel better, but Ning Caier did not feel comfortable because of the light. She leaned on the window and cried, her entire body trembling non-stop. She threw a phone beside her. It seemed like she had a quarrel with Ouyang Jue just now.

“Don’t cry, this corridor is especially creepy, even bodyguards don’t dare to come in.” At the same time, she passed Ning Caier a pack of tissue paper so that she could wipe the tears off her face. She came here to avoid the crying elders of Xu Family, she did not want to hear another version.

“Thank you.”

Ning Caier took the tissue and closed the notebook computer, directly putting it to the side. It was filled with news of Ouyang Jue denying his engagement with her and other people ridiculing her, and the events that happened at the banquet tonight was even more lively. Many people said that Xu Mengyun could not forget about him, which was something that Ning Caier would never believe normally.

He must have had other women in his heart, which was why he had blocked all paths of communication between her and the outside world, and locked her in Xu Family. This kind of reason seemed to be able to explain Ouyang Jue’s recent actions clearly, if not she would not be able to understand why Ouyang Jue had become like this.

“Miss Xu, why have you come here today?”

Ning Caier dried her tears. She never thought that someone would come here so late, the person who had been taking care of her all this while was the Xu Family’s servant. She had never seen the Miss Xu before, and not only that, it was such a bright and beautiful Miss Xu.

No matter what had happened between Xu Mengyun and her, she had at least given her clothes and food, and should have shown her gratitude in front of her.

“The house is a little messy today, so I came here to avoid it.”

Xu Mengyun looked at Ning Caier and she sat on a chair that was a good distance away from him. She did not want to touch the sorrowful aura on her body anymore, so she chose to sit a distance away and watch her expression. She gestured to the sofa for her to sit down.

Ning Caier sat down obediently. She had a lot of things she wanted to ask Xu Mengyun, but after truly seeing her, she couldn’t say anything. She felt that with her current identity, she didn’t have the qualifications to question Xu Mengyun at all.

She knew that he was getting impatient with her. She was just a woman that he had raised outside. She would come over whenever she wanted to watch, and when she didn’t want to look, she would be a decoration placed aside.

“Do you believe this news?”

Xu Mengyun knew that Ning Caier must have a lot of questions, so she turned on the computer once again. She looked at the computer screen and saw all sorts of different content on it.

Xu Mengyun really wanted to know what she thought. Whether she still had trust in Ouyang Jue or not, that would be the key to their relationship.

“Should I not believe what he said?”
