Chapter 1745: Shall We Give the Xiao Family a Huge Gift

Xia Ruya opened Lanxin Company’s website. Indeed, at the top of the website was a red banner which wrote: “Lanxin Company is listed and Xiasi Group joined as a shareholder!”

The bright red color almost stung her eyes.

Xia Ruya’s grip on the mouse tightened as she clicked on the banner.

The launched page described the entire process regarding the signing ceremony with Xiasi Group and even included a video of the signing of the contract.

As she watched the bedazzling Bella sitting on the stage, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Wen Xinya—that woman that she hated to the core who seemingly robbed her of all the glamor belonging to her and became admired by everyone.

Momentarily, her vision blurred and the Bella in the video instantly combined with the Wen Xinya in her mind.

She stared hard at the computer as she became engulfed in an eerie and resentful aura.

Previously, she had asked Mr. Z to check on the relationship between Wen Xinya and Lanxin Company to no avail. However, in Xia Ruya’s heart, she was already sure that there was more than met the eye in the relationship between Wen Xinya and Lanxin Company.

Bella must have been manipulated by Wen Xinya to win this acquisition war.

Wen Xinya was the mastermind behind everything.

Anyone and anything related to Wen Xinya was Xia Ruya’s target of destruction.

Thus, the fact that Lanxin Company became related to one of the five major tycoons in the world, the most mysterious Xiasi Group, was a huge hit to Xia Ruya.

“You look awful. Are you unwell?” Chu Jingnan saw that she was horribly pale, her exquisite looks were covered with fine perspiration, and she looked extremely haggard.

Naturally, he had also seen the news on the computer. Although he was shocked, he was more stunned by the pain that Xia Ruya was currently displaying.

“I… I’m fine.”

Xia Ruya’s vengeful emotions subsided like the tides. In the instant of relaxation, she felt intermittent pain in her stomach which hurt her excruciatingly.

“Is there something wrong with your stomach?” Chu Jingnan inquired with concern.

Xia Ruya nodded weakly as she leaned towards the sofa in a fragile manner.

The intense pain in her stomach made Xia Ruya recall the scene when she was raped previously. She vividly remembered the helplessness and pain she had felt then, and it made her feel like her head was splitting and that she was going crazy.

As she was afraid of getting pregnant, she had taken huge quantities of birth control pills. After that, she had fallen seriously ill and didn’t get better even after a few months. As she was afraid that someone would uncover her secret, she didn’t dare to go for a health checkup in a major hospital.

From then on, she started having period cramps. For some reason, this ailment had been getting worse in recent years.

Chu Jingnan poured her a glass of warm water. “Is it hurting very badly? Why don’t I send you to the hospital for a check!”

Xia Ruya’s pale face and trembling lips worried him.

“No… no need! It’s just a minor ailment and will pass after a while.” Xia Ruya subconsciously rejected as she received the glass from him with a trembling hand.

Due to such a horrifying experience, Xia Ruya was slightly resistant towards the hospital—especially for such embarrassing gynecological conditions.

Chu Jingnan was about to persuade her when Xia Ruya changed the topic. “Do you think Xiasi Group took part in the acquisition war between T-K Corporation and Lanxin Company?”

Xia Ruya didn’t want to admit that she had lost to Wen Xinya.

If Xiasi Group had taken part in the acquisition war, she felt that her defeat would be justified.

Chu Jingnan guessed her thoughts. “I think it’s quite unlikely. Xiasi Group is one of the five major tycoons in the world—it’s impossible that they noticed an unlisted small company.”

Xia Ruya had always wanted to challenge Wen Xinya and defeat her, so it was unacceptable for her that she had lost to Wen Xinya—she wanted to find an excuse for her defeat.

Xia Ruya sneered. “Then what do you think Lanxin Company has currently that’s worth Xiasi Group’s attention?”

Even if Lanxin Company was listed, it was still a far cry from T-K Corporation.

Although Lanxin Company had potential, it was not at a stage that it warranted Xiasi Group’s favor.

“Besides skincare products, health supplements, real estate, and an investment company, Lanxin Company also dabbles in all business fields and has somehow become a prototype of a business giant. The great victory of the acquisition war with T-K Corporation boosted Lanxin Company’s reputation and fame immensely. It’s a matter of time that Lanxin Company competes in the world stage. Xiasi Group has supported a number of Chinese businesses in recent years, and it’s no surprise that they noticed Lanxin Company’s potential and entered as a shareholder at this point in time.”

As a great investor, he was good at estimating the business value of things. Also, he understood Xiasi Group deeper than ordinary people and thought that they entered Lanxin Company as a shareholder because they had seen potential in Lanxin Company and wanted to support a Chinese business.

“More importantly, I realized that Xiasi Group’s development in recent years started to gradually lean towards Asia. China, as the market with the most potential in Asia, is something that Xiasi Group naturally wouldn’t miss. Entering Lanxin Company as a shareholder is just their way of testing the waters of the Chinese market.”

When he was an investor, he had held the information of all the famous tycoons and businesses in the world. Although there wasn’t a whole lot of information regarding Xiasi Group, it didn’t hinder him from analyzing Xiasi Group’s series of actions.

Xia Ruya wanted to refute but realized that she totally had no grounds to do so. “So, Lanxin Company, with its good reputation, potential, and market became their first target. Lanxin Company is really too lucky.”

If it weren’t for this acquisition war, it would be impossible that such a fortunate thing happened to Lanxin Company—Li Corporation, which was at the top of its game developing in Mainland China, was a better match for Xiasi Group’s requirements.

Chu Jingnan smiled but remained silent.

Despite Xia Ruya’s intelligence, she would lose her objectivity and logic whenever Wen Xinya was involved. This was the inborn difference between men and women.

Xia Ruya appeased the resentment in her heart and changed the topic. “It’ll be Old Mr. Xiao’s birthday banquet in more than a month’s time. Shall we give him a huge gift?”

She had already reached an agreement with Chu Jingnan on their second cooperation—to assist him in taking down the Xiao Family and become the head of the Xiao Family.

If Chu Jingnan could gain control of the Xiao Family, not only would she be able to atone for her mistakes before Mr. Z, but it would also benefit her when she dealt with Wen Xinya and Wen Corporation.

If Li Corporation and Xiao Corporation joined forces, what was a mere Wen Corporation?

“Oh? What do you intend to do?” The wild ambitions within Chu Jingnan instantly got fired up.

Fame and power went to the deserving ones.

He didn’t think that he was any inferior to Xiao Chengyu—why did he need to become an abandoned failure?

Xia Ruya leaned towards Chu Jingnan slowly and whispered into his ear.

Chu Jingnan’s eyes flashed briefly before returning back to normal.
