Business is a battlefield without gunsmoke. If Old Master Shen hadn't possessed extraordinary capabilities, he wouldn't have been able to transform the Shen family from an obscure, low-tier enterprise into a titan with a market value of hundreds of billions.
Old Master Shen looked at Jiang Ling and sighed slightly, "Child, you've been wronged!"
Jiang Ling lowered her head, her eyelids drooping. Her voice was weak, tinged with tears, "It's not his fault; it's just that we have no destiny together."
Old Master Shen frowned. "What do you mean no destiny? You saved my wife, and that's a profound destiny. It's said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, let alone the kindness of saving a life."
He soothed her gently, "Ming Jue is young and impetuous, easily infatuated by those disreputable women outside. But rest assured, I've made it perfectly clear to him. You, Jiang Ling, are the granddaughter-in-law recognized by the Shen family. If he wants to marry that woman surnamed An, he'll have to do it over my dead body!"
Old Master Shen's tone was calm, his words filled with confidence.
He and his late wife had come together through a commercial marriage. Before their wedding, fearing that each side's parents would use the marriage to manipulate their assets, they signed a property agreement.
The shares left to Shen Ming Jue by Old Madam Shen were a reward from his parents-in-law after she had given birth to a son and a daughter.
In terms of shareholding and control over the company, ten Shen Ming Jues couldn't compare to Old Master Shen.
"Rest assured, Grandpa and your late Grandma Shen are on your side. No matter how many women appear beside Ming Jue, there is only one Shen family young madam, and that is you. As long as this old man is alive, that woman will never set foot in my house!"
Old Master Shen stated decisively, only recognizing Jiang Ling as his granddaughter-in-law.
Jiang Ling sighed, "Young people of my generation are quite free-spirited and self-centered. It's normal for him to oppose arranged marriages by elders. I also don't want him to break up with me. I... I just feel wronged. I haven't done anything wrong, so why is he pushing all the blame onto me? Last time he was assassinated, it was because he asked me out for a picnic, and he coincidentally brought An Qiuyan. When the incident happened, he arranged for me to pitch a tent far away, leaving just him and An Qiuyan. I wanted to save him, but there was simply no time..."
The assassination attempt on Shen Ming Jue was indeed something the original host was wrongly accused of.
Afterward, she calmly considered it. Shen Ming Jue asking her out for a picnic and also bringing An Qiuyan, one man and two women, inherently invited gossip.
Given the prowess of paparazzi in capturing photos, Shen Ming Jue couldn't have been unaware of this. And given his protective nature towards An Qiuyan, he wouldn't let the woman he liked be caught in such a scandal of stealing someone else's fiancé.
Therefore, when he invited An Qiuyan out, he must have taken measures to ensure secrecy. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
If the secrecy measures were so effective, how could the incident have been captured by paparazzi?
And regarding the original host's drastic alteration of the popular Danmei IP, it had caused an uproar once before and had been suppressed. Why did it resurface now, not earlier or later, but precisely at the critical juncture when keyboard warriors across the internet were morally condemning her for not saving him?
All these incidents happening together, were they mere coincidences?
Jiang Ling didn't want trouble, but that didn't mean she was afraid of it.
Having spent so many years struggling in the entertainment industry in her previous life, she had seen all sorts of schemes and tricks.
If someone dared to plot against her, then she couldn't be blamed for retaliating.
Using the characters from the original work to deal with the male and female protagonists of the original work was what was known as "returning the favor in kind."
