Chapter 156 - 156: His Bottom Line

When Nathan came into their room, he saw Kim Eunji talking to someone over the phone.

Seeing that her attention was not on him, he slowly approached her and hugged her from behind to let his presence be noticed.

"Is there something wrong?" Nathan whispered in her ear as he sniffed her addicting scent on her neck.

Kim Eunji let out a soft and muffled moan as she tried to not be distracted from her calls.

But Nathan being the naughty husband himself snuck both of his hand inside her top and started touching her covered skin.

Feeling ignored by her and not contented by his actions, he then started to kiss the back of her neck all the way up to her earlobe and then back to her exposed shoulder area.

"J, I have to go. I'll update you if something come up. Thank you J. Bye."

Hearing her hanging up the phone, Nathan flashed a satisfied grin as he knew she could not resist his magical touches.

After talking to J, she then turned around and looked at Nathan who looked so happy after interrupting her from her call.

"You seemed so happy Master Bai. May I know why?" Kim Eunji said in a serious tone as she stopped his hand from going near the dangerous zone.

"I thought you're going to rest but here you are, talking to someone over the phone." Nathan pouted.

"For heaven's sake, J's not just someone Nathan!" Kim Eunji snapped at him.

"I know. But I could not help not to feel uncomfortable when you're talking to another man. And don't forget that he's not even related to you by blood." Nathan stated.

"Oh come on! The guy is doing nothing wrong. It's me who called him as I have to consult to him about something. So don't look at me as if I was cheating." She said while playfully poking his nose. She really could not believe how Nathan's jealousy worked.

"Fine! I'm not accusing you of cheating on me. I'm sorry if my childish behavior made you upset. I just don't feel comfortable whenever you talked with J." Nathan always had this uneasiness inside him that if mess up, J would definitely snatch Kim Eunji away from him.

"Anyways, I've heard about what happened." Nathan said with a worried tone as he tried to change the topic.

Kim Eunji then hugged him from the front and said, "Well, someone had been spying on us ever since we left Beijing. Someone had just planted a mole in our group and I think he's aiming for your head. It's still unclear though. I still have to clarify and gather evidences to support my claims.."

"So you called J for help instead of calling me? Ouch! That hurts wifey." Nathan acted as if he was hurt badly on the chest.

"Come on. Hubby, don't be upset. I didn't call him just for that matter. I called him for something else, too." She somehow managed to find and alibi.

"And what's that about?" Nathan asked her.

"Well, about what her younger sister had done to me that could have possibly harmed our baby. But don't worry, I haven't informed him yet." She answered.

As if contemplating on what to say, Nathan finally said, "Then, what did he say?"

"He said no wonder the stocks of Jin Holdings were going drastically down within 24 hours." She said while giving him a meaningful look.

Nathan smiled as he learned about this.

"Well, they tried to hurt you and touched my bottom line. Making them fall down from their high chair overnight was even not an enough punishment."

Then Nathan gasped as he thought of something.

"Don't tell me you cared for the Jin?" He continued.

"Them? No...not at all. I'm only worried for J. But for those senior members of the Jin Family who were only good at dictating yet so lazy to do something, I don't pity them. Don't you know that I hated them?"

"Of course I do know about that. I was there during the party when you savagely roasted them, remember?" Nathan paused as he waited for her nod which she did give him.

"Well, then...I also hated that family too. What a shame. You're the last and true heir of the Jin family but then you didn't want to get involved with them." He added.

"Nah. The Jin, they didn't want my grandmother back then so I don't want them, too."

Her reasoning was as simple as that. You don't like me? Then I don't like you back.

"I think you made the right choice wifey. You know internal affairs within the family could be bothersome you know." Nathan stated.

"Why do I feel like you are speaking from experience?" Kim Eunji quirked her brows as she asked him.

"Well. Yeah. But don't worry, I won't let them to come in between us." Nathan promised.

"Me too. I don't care if they'd call us a pair of unfilial brats. They don't deserve our filial piety anyways."

"Hahahaha. Savage."

Nathan's phone then suddenly rang but Nathan had no plans in answering it. But then his phone kept on ringing which made Nathan to feel irritated.

----

While the couple was enjoying their honeymoon, two families were cracking their brains as they tried to solve their respective company's near bankruptcy problems.

Everyone was gathered in the Jin Mansion to talk over things like how to appease their raging investors and convince them to not pull out or withdraw their investments from their companies.

Most importantly, they wanted to look for ways on how to please Nathan as the man was clearly aiming to see them in bankruptcy. And from the looks of it, they knew that there's no stopping him.

"Can someone tell me why this happened?" Senior Master Ling asked the Jin.

"Uncle, believe me or not, I really don't have any idea why this happened overnight." Jin Syaoran told the Senior Ling.

"Why did that brat Nathan was targeting our companies? What is he trying to do?" Senior Master Ling said in a displeased tone.

They then looked at J who had just came in the lounge.

"You're just wasting your time gathering for this brainstorming activity to think of ways on how to save the Ling Corporation and the Jin Holdings Inc." J didn't hold back when he said that.

"Old Jin, look at your beloved grandson! I don't like the way he talked to me. You better discipline them before I did."

"Ha! How dare you talking about giving me discipline when you can't even discipline your own grandson and wake him up from his delusions!"

"How did my son got involved in this?!" Ling Bao's mom butted in. She could not afford to let someone drag her beloved son in this conversation.

"Why should I not drag him in this conversation? Ha!" J scoffed in disbelief.

J was thankful that the two culprits were still in the dormitory of Imperial University or else he would give them a serious beating.

"Wake up Madame Ling! Your son, he did such horrible thing together with my sister which resulted in this situation."

"What do you mean?" Madame Ling asked for clarifications.

"Why don't you ask your own son of what he had done?" J suggested.

Madame Ling fell silent. She knew that his son would not tell him anything and would decide to held everything inside him.

"Is this related to that bitch Kim Eunji?" Jin Zhilan who had been silently listening to their conversation suddenly chimed in.

J's silence gave it all.

"I knew it! That b*tch really won't stop at nothing unless she got everything."

"Mom! Stop dragging an innocent person here." J reminded her.

"Innocent? You gotta be kidding me."

(In the eyes of the law, everyone is innocent unless proven guilty.)

"They had committed a crime which somehow touched Nathan's bottom line." J decided to change the topic a little bit.

"Wait, why do you sound like you don't care at all?" Senior Master Ling asked him.

"Because I really don't care of what will happen to Jin Holdings, Inc." He commented.

"You brat! What do you mean?" Jin Syaoran asked his son.

"Well, I already said it and I don't want to repeat myself. And besides...I think this is karma's way of getting back at us." J stood up as he felt like staying in the same room with this shameless people felt like suffocating him.

But before he walked away and leave, he decided to speak one last time.

"It's time to return everything we have to its original owner."

"There' no way in hell I would do that!" Senior Master Jin said.

"Gramps...I suggest we should not bite more than what we can chew. Whether we like it or not, we will lose everything anyways so we should voluntarily surrender this to the real owner." J told his grandpa.

"Over my dead body!"

While they were having this conversation, they didn't know that someone was listening them as well.

When J left the place everyone was left in deep thoughts.
