Chapter 314: Have a Say in the Matter

Hearing Shen Jun’s words, Wen Nian fell silent.

In her previous life, not only had the Wei family successfully expanded into the capital, but they had also established two major shopping malls. While they couldn’t rival the Shen family, it marked a significant advancement for the Wei family. During that period, Wei Xiao had garnered a reputation as a notable talent in the capital.

Wen Nian’s fists tightened with determination. She couldn’t allow the Wei family to enjoy a trouble-free existence in this lifetime. She was determined to make those who had wronged her suffer the consequences.

Observing the shift in Wen Nian’s demeanor, Shen Jun gently took her hand and reassured her, “Don’t fret. I’ve already arranged for an investigation into Yang Shu. We’ll receive news soon.”

Just as he finished speaking, Shen Jun’s phone rang, and he noticed that it was Wei Xiao calling. His expression grew serious.

The Wei family’s situation held significant importance this time. Wei Xiao had skipped the exam entirely to go straight to the capital for the property transfer, appearing as the prospective heir to the Wei family.

With the possibility of having concrete evidence in his possession, Shen Jun answered the call.

“Young Master Shen, have you finished your exams? I’m heading back to Hai City tonight. The land in the capital is now under my control,” Wei Xiao’s voice oozed with satisfaction, and he couldn’t hide his glee.

He hadn’t anticipated everything going so smoothly. Wei Xiao had recorded a video of Huang Yue sleeping with Wei Jiang and taken numerous photos as evidence. He had even left behind the condom that Wei Jiang had used that day.

Wei Jiang’s lecherous nature, combined with the influence of the drugs, left him completely powerless to resist, and he engaged in a sexual encounter with Huang Yue. Huang Yue had also sustained several injuries on her body.

The following morning, when Wei Jiang woke up, he found Huang Yue sitting by the side with disheveled hair, having cried for a long time. Just as he was about to offer some comfort to the distressed young woman, Wei Xiao stormed in with his associates and even suggested calling the police on behalf of Huang Yue.

Wei Jiang wasn’t particularly concerned about being framed. Even if the compromising photos and videos were leaked, they wouldn’t significantly tarnish his reputation. However, his fear primarily stemmed from Li Bing.

Wei Jiang and Li Bing had entered into a marriage alliance originally, and their current relationship was merely a facade. As long as Wei Jiang didn’t push the boundaries too far and kept certain matters discreet, Li Bing was willing to turn a blind eye. However, if their illicit actions were exposed, it would undoubtedly lead to a severe fallout with Li Bing. In the worst-case scenario, Wei Jiang might even lose his standing within the Shen family.

What exacerbated Wei Jiang’s distress was that he hadn’t initially recognized Huang Yue. It was only after Wei Xiao’s revelations that he realized she was the illegitimate daughter of the Huang family. If this affair were to come to light, it would undoubtedly draw significant attention and scrutiny, and Wei Jiang couldn’t fathom the potential consequences he might have to face.

In the end, Wei Jiang was forced to agree to help Wei Xiao get the land. He conceded 2% of the company’s shares to Wei Xiao, while the remaining 3% was forcefully extracted from Wei Feng through coercion.

Reflecting on his recent accomplishments, Wei Xiao believed he could consider himself one of the most successful among his peers. This newfound confidence was reflected in his markedly altered tone when talking to Shen Jun.

“I recall you mentioning your plans to develop this area during our last conversation. Now, I have a say in the matter. How about we meet up tonight to discuss it?”

Shen Jun casted a glance at Wen Nian and replied simply, “Okay.”

Wei Xiao was somewhat exhilarated, believing that Shen Jun must acknowledge his newfound influence and potential role as the future head of the family, much like Shen Jun himself. He promptly settled on a time and venue for their meeting, proceeding to book a private room for their discussion.

At that moment, Huang Yue, standing nearby, held a cup of fruit tea in one hand and a wet wipe in the other. She inquired softly, “Are you heading back to Hai City tonight? I don’t have any filming for the next couple of days. How about I accompany you back?”

Huang Yue had gained insight into Shen Jun’s influential background through Wei Xiao. She regretted not fostering a closer relationship with Shen Jun in the past, as she believed that if they had been together, many of the subsequent complications might have been avoided.

She hated Wen Nian even more now. She suspected that Wen Nian had been aware of Shen Jun’s true identity long before she broke off the engagement with Wei Xiao. Wen Nian’s actions had also caused her harm.

Hence, she had to go back and expose Wen Nian. Since she was no longer happy, she naturally could not let Wen Nian be happy.

Wei Xiao waved his hand, signaling that he disagreed. “Why would you accompany me back? Haven’t you forgotten your grudge against Wen Nian? Aren’t you just causing trouble for Shen Jun?”

Huang Yue attempted to respond, but Wei Xiao didn’t afford her the opportunity. “CEO Wang, who signed the contract with you today, wishes to meet with you tonight. He has a preference for white attire. Make sure to change into suitable clothing.”

After relaying the message, Wei Xiao cast a disdainful glance at Huang Yue’s attire. He couldn’t understand why she insisted on wearing clothes with prominent logos ever since entering the entertainment industry. It gave her an ostentatious appearance of a rich person, which left Wei Xiao feeling repelled.

Having issued his directives, Wei Xiao was eager to depart. His primary objective was to engage in a discussion with Shen Jun regarding the developments in the capital.

As Wei Xiao walked away, Huang Yue watched his retreating figure with a glint of malice in her eyes..
