305 Secret Shareholder
After an unknown period of time, the red light above the operating theater suddenly went off.
Lu Shuang’s heart skipped a beat. She rushed to the doctor who had just walked out of the room and asked anxiously, “How is it? Doctor, how’s my daughter?”
The doctor took off his mask and put on a relaxed smile. “The patient’s life is no longer in danger, but there are no signs of her waking up. She needs to be hospitalized for observation. Family members, please go and settle the admission procedures.”
“Good, good, good!” Lu Shuang cried tears of joy, stubbornly covering her mouth and refusing to cry out.
He Miao also felt relieved. She held Jing Yan and Xu Meng’s hands tightly and almost jumped up in joy.
She saw that Lu Shuang was on the verge of collapse and it was not suitable for her to go back and forth in high heels to complete the procedures, so she suggested that she do it herself. However, the man, who was standing there like a stone, suddenly said, “I’ll go. I should be responsible for Yanyan. I’ll arrange the best ward for her.”
Lu Shuang did not say anything this time, or rather, she was too distracted to bother with him. Her daughter’s safety was the greatest comfort to her. She only wanted to see her Yanyan and see her safe with her own eyes.
The procedures were completed very quickly. After Xia Yan was wheeled out of the operating room, she was immediately escorted to a luxurious single room on the top floor by the medical staff. Two nurses stood on either side of her, waiting to act at any time.
Lu Shuang did not even look at them and instead stared straight at Xia Yan’s tightly shut eyes until she was placed on the bed by the medical staff.
“Aunty Lu, why don’t you take a rest on the other bed? Mengmeng and I will accompany Yanyan.” He Miao poured her a glass of water and sat on the other side of the bed to guard her.
Lu Shuang looked at Jing Yan, who had been accompanying He Miao tenderly, and then at Chen Zheng, who was still sticking to another woman outside the door. The dissatisfaction and anger in her heart exploded. “He Miao, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
“Alright,” she said. He Miao nodded obediently and followed her to an empty ward next door.
Lu Shuang asked her to sit down on a chair and went straight to the point. “You’ve heard the whole story. I won’t allow Yanyan to get hurt again because of this man, Chen Zheng,”
He Miao nodded in agreement. “I agree with you. So, what do you want me to do?” she asked.
Lu Shuang raised her eyebrows in surprise. She suddenly realized that it was surprisingly pleasant to talk to this girl and that she did not need to waste her breath at all. The anger in her heart dissipated a little. “I know that Xia Yan is bent on starting a company with you. Even though she only has a small portion of the shares, she thinks highly of your ability. From the perspective of your start-up company and building a brand, Xia Yan has also given you a lot of help. The terms of the exchange between you two have been reached. However, as Xia Yan’s mother, I have to negotiate with you again.”
“Please speak.” He Miao was well aware of what she was going to say next. Lu Shuang would definitely hate Chen Zheng even more after this incident, so the new condition she proposed must be related to him.
As expected, Lu Shuang’s eyes were fixed on He Miao. Her tone was frighteningly cold. “I want you to destroy Morning Fragrance and kick Chen Zheng out of the domestic market. If you agree, the Lu and Xia companies will provide you with unconditional help.”
He Miao’s heart sank slightly, and she asked with a serious expression, “With the power of the Lu Corporation and the Xia Corporation, it’s not impossible for you to destroy Morning Fragrance in a matter of years. However, you’ve never done so because Xia Yan wouldn’t let you.”
“Yes, but not completely.” Lu Shuang gave an ambiguous answer. Her sharp eyes were fixed on every expression on her face.
He Miao furrowed his brows and carefully recalled the past between Xia Yan and Chen Zheng. In fact, in the end, it was nothing more than Chen Zheng selling all his assets to treat his sister’s illness. As a result, he was looked down upon by Lu Shuang, who had always been strict with her daughter, and forced them to break up.
However, she said that Xia Yan was not the only reason she had not made a move on Chen Xiang. He Miao was not a naive person. Ever since she decided to enter the business world and set up her company, she no longer believed in pure motives between businessmen.
The strongest relationship between these people was vested interests. Even though Lu Shuang and Xia Yan were mother and daughter, they were still bound by the rules.
Then, there must be a strong relationship between Lu Shuang and Chen Zheng. Thinking about the rapid development of Morning Fragrance, it was not difficult for He Miao to guess what Lu Shuang was doing behind the scenes.
She looked up at Lu Shuang quietly and said in a low voice, “Aunty Lu, you were the one who paid for Chen Zheng’s company, right?”
Lu Shuang’s confident expression suddenly changed, and it was replaced by a ferocious look. “What else do you know?”
He Miao raised her eyebrows in understanding, and everything became clear in that instant.
Why did Lu Shuang never agree to Xia Yan investing in Chen Zheng’s company? It was because she was the hidden largest shareholder in Chen Zheng, and the money used to establish the company…
“Aunty Lu.” He Miao stood up and looked her in the eye. “That investment was your breakup fee for Chen Zheng, right?”
