Chapter 1171: The Domineering Beauty
Taking advantage of Joanna's momentary daze, Lin Yuqing slightly curved her lips, her expression haughty, and said, "This is a little gift for you, to let you know that you should behave like a proper young lady and not be so shameless as to try and steal someone else's husband!"
Michelle was shocked that such a gentle woman would dare to be so rude to Joanna. She quickly used a handkerchief to wipe Joanna's face, then carefully observed her expression and asked, "Joanna, are you alright?"
At this moment, Joanna seemed to wake up from a dream, her face growing paler and paler. Finally, she swept a table full of drinks to the ground and let out a horrifying scream.
"You just wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
Rubbing her ears, Lin Yuqing looked at Xiao Mingyang with amusement and asked, "How was my finishing move?"
"Good job, you did very well." With that, Xiao Mingyang kissed Lin Yuqing on the forehead.
She hurriedly pushed Xiao Mingyang away, her face slightly flushed, and said, "The baby is still here!"
She gave Xuan'er a cold glance, and Xuan'er quickly turned her head away, snorting, "I didn't see anything, is that alright?"
Hmph, you're smart to be sensible!
Watching the interaction between the father and son, Lin Yuqing found it amusing, thinking that the two people, one big and one small, were really alike in both appearance and personality.
only……
Sitting in the car, Lin Yuqing turned her head to look at the magnificent castle, thinking that soon she would be going to experience another bloody storm.
……
Inside the room, Lin Yuqing was watering the flowers, Xiao Mingyang was reading a magazine, and Xuan'er was relaxing and playing with a robot model. They all looked relaxed and at ease.
Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside, and Xiao Jincheng was pushed in without warning, his eyes fierce, as if they could breathe fire.
Xiao Mingyang naturally knew Xiao Jincheng's purpose in coming here, so he was in no hurry to talk to him. After glancing at him, he continued to look at the magazine.
Lin Yuqing felt it wasn't good for her to leave him there in the sun, so she put down the watering can and said, "Grandpa, you..."
"I sent you to the party to network with powerful people, but what did you do?!"
Before Lin Yuqing could finish speaking, Xiao Jincheng roared out, his powerful voice making Lin Yuqing's ears hurt.
Hmm, it seems that Da Zhong has been taking good care of him lately; he even has the energy to throw a tantrum now!
Just as Lin Yuqing was inwardly grumbling, Xiao Mingyang slowly put down the magazine, looked coldly at Xiao Jincheng, and asked, "I admit that I ruined the party, but what about Grandpa? What did you do? After you commissioned that dress for Yuqing, you should have expected the consequences today!"
Suppressing his anger, Xiao Jincheng said, "I didn't mean to do anything about the dress. For such a small matter, you disregard the life and death of the Xiao family. You really don't know what's important! And this woman actually threw wine at someone. What's the difference between her and a shrew?! Lin Yuqing, I really regret letting you into this family!"
Xiao Jincheng's tone was harsh, and the way he looked at Lin Yuqing was as if he were looking at a shameless woman.
But Lin Yuqing had already mastered the art of being impenetrable, and she simply smiled casually at Xiao Jincheng's unreasonable accusations.
That smile was enough to drive Xiao Jincheng crazy. He pointed at Lin Yuqing, about to unleash a torrent of curses, when he heard Xiao Mingyang speak calmly.
"You want me to serve the Xiao family, yet you look down on Yuqing's background and have repeatedly framed her. What do you think I should do? It's already quite good that I haven't turned the Xiao family upside down!"
Xiao Mingyang's words nearly made Xiao Jincheng vomit blood. Pointing his finger at Xiao Mingyang's nose, he angrily rebuked him, "The world hasn't turned upside down yet! Look at Xiao's Enterprises' stock this morning, it's about to hit rock bottom! And this morning alone, more than a dozen business partners called to cancel their cooperation with us. Besides that, there are those withdrawing their investment, terminating agreements, stopping supplies, and so on! Xiao's is practically paralyzed right now!"
Raising an eyebrow in surprise, Xiao Mingyang remained unmoved and said slowly, "I didn't expect that woman Joanna to be so quick."
"Xiao Mingyang!" Xiao Jincheng glared at Xiao Mingyang and said coldly, "I order you to go to the Booker family right now and apologize to Joanna! And you, Lin Yuqing, come with me!"
Without even thinking, Xiao Mingyang refused, saying, "Impossible!"
"This is a mess you made, and you have to fix it!" Xiao Jincheng's voice was hoarse, sinister, and terrifying as he pounded on his wheelchair. "Do you really want to see the Xiao family ruined by you?!"
If he could undo his mistakes, Xiao Jincheng would definitely not have let Xiao Mingyang bring this woman to the party. He admitted that the reason he tampered with the dress was to make Lin Yuqing back down and leave Xiao Mingyang after seeing so many outstanding noble ladies.
However, he underestimated Lin Yuqing's importance in Xiao Mingyang's heart. He never expected that he would offend the Booker family for this woman who was not even worth mentioning! This was truly a case of shooting himself in the foot!
However, there is also a good thing. Since we know that Joanna is interested in Xiao Mingyang, we should do our best to bring the two of them together. If handled properly, it might give the Xiao family a significant boost.
But this condition must be that Lin Yuqing disappears!
With a sinister look in his eyes, Xiao Jincheng seemed to be plotting something.
"How did Grandpa handle the stock issue I mentioned last time?"
Xiao Mingyang was thinking about Lin Yuqing when he heard Xiao Mingyang's question. He was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said unhappily, "What time is it? Why are you still thinking about these things! If you don't handle this crisis well, even if you get the stocks, they'll just be a pile of worthless paper!"
"But as long as Grandpa gives me the shares, I can step in and take charge of the company, leading the Xiao family out of this predicament!"
Xiao Mingyang's tone was confident, as if he was very sure of himself.
Seeing Xiao Jincheng remain silent, Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "You want me to apologize? No way. But no matter what, this whole mess started because of me, so I can go to the company to take charge, but only if Grandpa keeps his promise and transfers the shares to me!"
"If you want it, I can give it to you! But you have to show me some sincerity first! After all, it's not a small amount, and I want my money to be spent wisely!"
"Sincerity?" Xiao Mingyang asked with a handsome smile, "What do you consider sincerity?"
With a darkening look in his eyes, Xiao Jincheng commanded, "I'm giving you five days. You must suppress the situation. Otherwise, I'll personally go to Ms. Joanna's house later and invite her over to hear your apology!"
"can!"
Looking intently at Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing thought to herself that the time was too short. If this woman were really so easy to appease, she wouldn't have been chosen to target her in the first place!
