Chapter 113 - 113 Conspiracy
113 Conspiracy
It was only after the news of the two sides’ cooperation spread that everyone knew about this matter. The person who came to inquire about the news last time pointed at Papa Le and scolded him for being an old fox. Papa Le laughed like Maitreya Buddha.
“I didn’t think of it at that time. Who knew it would be such a coincidence?”
Papa Le really wanted to show off his daughter’s contributions, but he was worried that Ren Rong might not like it when others talked about his matters, so he could only hold back.
With this cooperation with Dahong Corporation, their company’s annual profit would increase by at least 20%.
However, he could hide it from outsiders, but he didn’t need to hide it from his family.
“You’re our lucky star indeed!”
When Grandpa Le found out about this, he immediately opened a bottle of precious wine to celebrate. He also gave Le Wan an ancient painting that he had collected.
This made the eyes of Second Uncle and Second Aunt Le, Le Yan, and Le An all turn red. According to the market price, that ancient painting was worth nine figures. It was Grandpa Le’s precious treasure, but he gave it to Le Wan without even blinking.
However, it was as if Le Wan didn’t know the value of the painting. when Grandpa Le gave it to her, she accepted it happily and then put it aside as if it was an ordinary gift.
In the back garden, Le Yan and Le An met again.
“What’s the point of you dodging?”
As Le Wan gained more and more things, Le Yan’s dissatisfaction with her grew. She had been thinking about it these days and finally understood the problem.
In this family, the fight between her and Le Wan was not a simple fight between two people, but a fight between the second branch and the first branch.
As long as the first uncle still controlled the company, the second branch of the family could only take the dividends and wait for death. She would never be able to win against Le Wan.
Le Yan realized this. Although she didn’t like her biological parents and hated Le An, who had taken over her family’s nest, they were both from the second branch of the family and had the same interests. Therefore, to gain more benefits, Le Yan decided to reconcile with Le An first.
“What, you want to fight again?” Le An looked at her with an unfriendly gaze.
Le Yan flicked the hair on her cheek.
“Another fight, and then let others laugh at us, and then we get punished again?”
The last time the two of them fought over jewelry, they angered Grandma Le and were punished to copy Buddhist scriptures for almost half a month, saying that it was for them to cultivate their minds.
The two of them had only ended the punishment painfully after their hands were almost covered in calluses. They definitely didn’t want to do it again.
“If you don’t want to fight, then what do you want?” Le An looked at her suspiciously.
Le Wan was munching on an apple when she looked out of the window. She saw Le Yan and Le An, the real and fake daughters, together. From a distance, they looked quite intimate.
She raised her eyebrows. when these two people met each other, they would fight like black-eyed chickens. Since when could they face each other and talk calmly?
“There’s a problem.”
Le Wan took a big bite of the crunchy apple and mumbled with her mouth full. There was only one possibility for the two of them to turn hostility into friendship, and that was that they were plotting something big.
Le Wan took a look at the ancient box on the table in which the ancient painting that was worth over a hundred million was placed. It seemed that Grandpa Le’s gift of the painting to her had seriously agitated the two of them. She just didn’t know where they would start.
However, this time, beyond Le Wan’s expectation, the two of them had been very quiet for the past few days. They didn’t look for trouble or cause any trouble. Le Wan didn’t believe that they would really settle down. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard Papa Le mention something at the dining table that night.
“Today, Second Brother went back to the old estate to find father.”
Ever since Second Uncle Le and Grandpa Le had a big fight over the matter of the real and fake daughters and parted on bad terms, the relationship between the two had been quite stiff. In the end, Second Uncle Le acted out of character today and took the initiative to run back to the old mansion to find the Old Master. He said that he wanted to end his life of sitting around and waiting for death and decided to start his own career.
Grandpa Le had always hated his youngest son’s competitive attitude. Now that he saw that he was finally willing to do something, no matter how much he believed in him, he was still happy. He even took out a sum of money from his private savings to sponsor him.
Second Uncle Le was obviously happy after getting the money. He said it beautifully. He didn’t intend to get involved in the company since his big brother was in it. He didn’t want others to say that he wanted to fight for power and eventually cause a storm.
He planned to start from scratch, starting a small company first and slowly building it up. He wanted to accumulate some experience before expanding it in the future.
