"There are some matters that I am unable to explain through the phone. It's best if I come over to take a look for you."
Ouyang Jue and Xia Wanru had a huge argument earlier, so when Ning Caier called, he did not have the convenience to speak anymore, so as to not let his mother vent her anger on her. Later on, he wanted to call her to explain herself, but no matter how many times he called, her phone always got busy, and tonight, he did not have the convenience to ask Xu Mengyun to come over to check the situation.
He didn't expect that she would actually come over herself to console Ning Caier. This made Ouyang Jue feel extremely surprised, because what Xia Wanru had done today was enough to completely break the relationship between the two families. She had touched upon the very foundations of the Xu Group, and even Ouyang Jue was unable to compensate the Xu Family for this. However, it was clear that Xu Mengyun was trying to repay the grievances with his kindness. If it was him, he might not even be able to do it.
Furthermore, he never thought that he would actually receive such treatment. He thought that Ning Caier was still angry at him, but she was actually in his embrace now, which made him even more certain of Xu Mengyun's language skills. If there was a chance, he must ask her how she did it.
"Is the matter with the Miss Xu very troublesome? I saw that the people from the Xu Family are here today."
This tower was able to see the entrance to the Xu Family's mansion, he already could not count the number of cars that came tonight, it was as if the one hosting the banquet today was the Xu Family and not the Ouyang Family. However, from the angry way they walked, she could tell that they were not in the mood to participate in the banquet, it seemed like they were all here to denounce his.
Mother is too ruthless. She actually used the power of the officials to frame Xu Family, which means that Xu Group might be able to accompany Xu Family for a few hundred million. "
Ouyang Jue gently caressed Ning Caier's back. He had already quarreled with Xia Wanru for an entire night regarding the matters of the Xu Family, he had always done things openly and honorably … But his mother actually did such a thing, just because Xu Mengyun supported him, she wanted to put the Xu Family to death. If he openly stood against her, then would she even kill him?
"Can't you help Miss Xu?" She knew that Ouyang Jue was unable to rebel against his mother, and he was probably powerless against her, but she still wanted to get Ouyang Jue to fight for his. If Madame Ouyang was moved by him, maybe she would be willing to let him go.
On the surface, it does not seem like it has anything to do with the Ouyang Family, so whatever I say will be of no use. Unless Mother wants to withdraw what she said, and let that official bring justice to the people of the Xu Family. "
Facing such a situation, Ouyang Jue felt extremely helpless. He had already used all of his skills, but Xia Wanru was still unwilling to give in.
It was as if Xu Family had experienced a great calamity during the night, and all of the small shareholders in the Xu Group had been eliminated by Ling Tian. Whether they were willing or not, Ling Tian did not want to see them in the Xu Group's vicinity again.
Although the shares that each of the elders in the Xu Family had were not that much, they were still comparable to the share of a small shareholder. Therefore, Ling Tian should have been the board of directors that was stationed in the Xu Family as well, as such a thing was extremely repulsive to Xu Mengyun previously. She was afraid that Ling Tian's business affairs outside would affect the Xu Group, but now, everything was owned by them, and their honor and disgrace were equal, so they did not care about who had the share.
It was just that the incident that Xia Wanru had started had a huge impact on the Xu Group. Although there were no official documents, with the official spokesman publicly criticizing and Xia Wanru sending a bunch of people to cause trouble, the ecological village project still had to stop work.
The cost of the project was huge, and with every day that the construction stopped, it would cost them several million yuan. The price of the Xu Group also fell along with the news, making the elders of the Xu Family glad that they had sold their shares, otherwise, with the current trend of decline, they would lose everything within a month.
Of course, the ones who suffered the most were Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian. Other than the share of the retail market, the two of them had more than 90% of the shares in their hands.
"There's nothing I can do for you. If you tell me, I will do it for you."
Ouyang Jue felt that he had let down the Xu Family, but he did not know how else he could fight against Xia Wanru. All he could do was to control the Cooperation cases of the Xu's, so that these plans would not fail midway and the Xu's would not lose everything.
Xia Wanru could casually find a reason to transfer the money from the project. In any case, the only shareholders in the company now were Ouyang Jue, his uncle and Xia Wanru. Ouyang Jue had already signed the entrustment agreement. Right now, he did not have much authority in the group, and his uncle and his mother were basically just wearing pants. No matter what crazy decision Xia Wanru wanted to make, his uncle would definitely support him limitlessly.
This made Ouyang Jue start to regret driving away those old fogeys on the board. If there were them there, at least someone would try to delay the matter for a while, but now the entire board of directors was in Xia Wanru's control. It would be hard for him to take even a single step.
So, he could only ask Xu Mengyun what other chips she had to offer in this matter. Everyone said that they only knew about it from the sidelines, and maybe Xu Mengyun would be able to give some pointers on things he did not understand.
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Mengyun watched as Ouyang Jue passed him a cup of tea with an extremely calm and anxious expression. This Miss Xu who had always been precise with his timing was actually in the mood to savor tea at a time like this, causing Ouyang Jue to not know what she was trying to do.
This was completely unlike Xu Mengyun's style of doing things. If it was the past, she would definitely be in charge of the Xu Group to prevent the internal affairs of the group from getting chaotic, but now she was quietly staying at home. She could actually waste time doing such a thing, in Ouyang Jue's opinion, this was something that only those old men would do.
"Ling Tian said that he can take care of it, so I do not need to care about it. Right now, I only need to handle the daily affairs of the company, and it won't take long."
She looked at Ouyang Jue with a completely relaxed state, as if the one in trouble right now was the TiaoAo Group and not the Xu Group. Ouyang Jue felt that Xu Mengyun had taken the wrong medicine, and how could she be so relaxed when such a huge matter had occurred?
However, Ouyang Jue immediately thought of an even more terrifying thing, and that was Ling Tian's method to resolve this matter. It was even more so with his previous records;
"You can't be thinking of killing that official right? Killing an official in the country is not a small matter, you better not let Ling Tian do it recklessly."
Ouyang Jue knew what kind of background Ling Tian had, so it was not strange that he would commit murder to silence him, but if he killed the official, all the blame would be placed on the Xu Family. At that time, even if there was no evidence, the Xu Group would have no way to turn the situation around.
Xu Mengyun should have considered the severity of this matter. Once the Xu's was infected with this kind of stain, all of the blood and sweat of their generations would be destroyed, even if she wanted to move to a foreign country, she wouldn't need to use such a resolute method.
"Does he not know the rules of the country?" Xu Mengyun felt that Ouyang Jue's thinking had been a little slow recently, as if he was infected by Ning Caier. Their thoughts were restricted to a strange loop, so using this immobilized thought process to judge things was often extremely inaccurate.
It was just like how Ouyang Jue was simply using Ling Tian's usual behavior, ignoring the changes he made to the environment after entering the country. Ling Tian would not be so stupid as to kill someone at such a crucial time. He had a better method.
"Say it earlier, I was almost scared to death by you." Ouyang Jue felt that Xu Mengyun was breathing too heavily when he spoke. Since she already had a solution in his heart, why didn't he tell him about it earlier? If she had said it earlier, he wouldn't need to be so anxious that he wouldn't be able to sleep every night.
"This matter involves the Madame Ouyang after all, so I can't say too much to you.
Xu Mengyun's reason was very good, no matter how calm she was, it was difficult for him to say the wrong things when she was agitated, especially with how sensitive that Madame Ouyang was, she could easily smell something, so Ouyang Jue was not sure if it was safest for them.
"You're right, I didn't know it was best."
Ouyang Jue knew that Xu Mengyun had an idea, but he was unable to calm down. He walked around Xu Family's living room for a few rounds, and finally stopped at a window that was directly facing Xu Family's tower. He knew that Ning Caier was also looking out of the window at what was happening.
She must have known that he was here, but he couldn't see her now, because he couldn't resolve Xu Family's predicament, nor could he bring her out. Other than some news that her parents were still well, he couldn't give her anything, which made Ouyang Jue feel extremely weak.
But he just could not sleep by Ning Caier's side. The pressure of the tower amplified the guilt in his heart, making him unable to stay there at night.
"Although I don't mind raising an extra person here, you can't leave her here forever, even if it's just a pet dog, you need to go out on the lawn and relax, not to mention that Ning Caier is still alive. No matter how warm the rooms in the Xu Family's tower are, no matter how luxurious the arrangements are, they will always be a prison for her.
Originally, Xu Mengyun wanted to find a therapist to help Ning Caier, but this matter required Ouyang Jue's consent, because psychotherapy was not always positive. It might have a lot of problems, and if treated inappropriately, it might have a side effect. Furthermore, Ning Caier's current condition was not light, even a therapist would not dare to act rashly.
"Of course I understand this logic, it's just that I can't do anything now. The TiaoAo Group is already completely in my mother's hands, I can't take it back, and I don't have the power to protect her. So, I can't bring Ning Caier back either."
