Chapter 53

The atmosphere in the meeting room was chilling.

Jiang Shi Jun’s words hit the bulls eye. All the share holders looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts.

Yan Liang was nailed to her place. The elders looked at her. Naturally they felt the need to come to her aid. “ Brother Jiang, your joke is not funny at all. We are having a meeting now. You can leave. “

Sitting there, Jiang Shi Jun glanced mischievously at the directors. Yan Liang’s assistant had his hands still on the handle of the door, he immediately opened the door.

Because of this , all the people in the room looked at the door. A young man came marching in. He was not stopped by the bodyguards standing by the door.

The young man finally reached Jiang Shi Jun’s side. He respectfully nodded at him and then looked up at the board of directors and introduced himself, “Good morning ! I am the person who carried out the acquisition of Xu by MT. I was employed by Jiang Shi Jun.”

With this phrase, the audience was in an uproar.

The representative of MT took a document out of his briefcase,” This is the proof of ownership, you can take a look.”

The board members had long known about the hostile takeover attempts of MT, but no one thought that the master behind the scheme was actually their rival for nearly twenty years – Li Bo.

The apprehensive eyes of the board members were now on Yan Liang. She was so overwhelmed that she staggered backward, then grabbed the armrest of the chair. This helped not only to stabilise her body, but also to calm her mind.

She said, “According to the law, the board members are elected by the shareholders in a general shareholders meet. Even if you are now the second largest shareholders , as long as you have not been elected to the board, you are not qualified to sit here.”

Jiang Shi Jun was astounded at how composed this woman was and raised his eyebrows as he observed her.

After finishing what she had to say, Yan Liang looked at him with disdain, then turned her attention to the shareholders. With an apologetic smile, she said, “ I am sorry about this. As we have uninvited guests who have barged in the meeting we can not continue, I will announce the next meeting in advance .Do you have any objections ?”

The directors nodded and agreed.

Yan Liang picked up the phone to call the security department,

the phone connected –

“Send a team of security to the first floor conference room,

immediately.”

Yan Liang very solemnly said these words and Jiang Shi Jun’s eyes turned cold as he heard this.

Jiang Shi Jun’s assistant also stood at the door. He saw the directors walking towards the door and also heard Yan Liang’s intimidating remarks. He was disturbed and looked at Jiang Shi Jun to seek advice.

At Jiang Shi Jun’s acquiescence, he opened the door of the conference room and signalled at the body guards to give way.

Finally, in the meeting room there was only Jiang Shi Jun and Yan Liang, Yan Liang was looking down at the documents in her hand , but inside she was already alarmed. She could clearly hear Jiang Shi Jun get up and walk towards her..

She froze, but did not raise her head.

His voice sounded very near to her ear,” If I remember correctly, your next meeting of shareholders is on the 1st of next month. There are 6 days and 14 hrs left..I would love to watch the last struggles of the prey before it dies..”

Shi Jun’s footsteps echoed further and further away till he disappeared out side the room.

Yan Liang had exhausted her last traces of strength and fell on her seat. Her face was pale.

Her assistant was standing out side the door, he was very worried to see her sitting there , motionless. with her head down for a long time. He hesitated , then finally decided not to disturb her and quietly closed the door.

Yan Liang did not pay any attention when the door was closed, nor did she hear anything when it was pushed open , until she heard footsteps coming near her.

The sound of footsteps were obviously made by someone in men’s shoes walking on the marble floor.

As she heard the sound, the pain in her heart intensified. The more her heart ached, the more she did not want to raise her head.

Till a solid arm clasped her shoulder tightly.

The person did not speak, but tightly wrapped his arms around her. Her head and neck was pressed back against his warm body, so that Yan Liang automatically leaned back.

Once upon a time, this was indeed the one she depended on for survival in her most vulnerable times.

But today..

Yan Liang wanted to cry but instead she smiled slightly, “ Mr Jiang, you are on the verge of finally getting your revenge on your enemy, how does it feel ?”

His arm stiffened…

“What did you say?”

This was what she was so familiar with, a calm and majestic voice.

“No, I just want to ask…” , Yan Liang finally raised her head and looked at his face. She knew his face so well, his slightly knitted eyebrows, his cold eyes, his thin lips, his arrogant chin…but in fact, she never knew the real him,”how long will you act ? I’m tired ..”

*** ***

The news of the acquisition of Xu by Li Bo Group was spread through out the industry within half a day. Xu had already been thoroughly discredited, people were now laughing and saying Jiang Shi Jun was bullying widows and orphans. Xu was in a miserable state and was being ridiculed while people admired how the old fox cunningly played his game.

Yan Liang moved out of her new home. As there were some documents she needed to take away, she couldn’t depend only on the moving company. She had to go personally to get her files.

Before she left, she had dinner with her mother.

Yan Liang ate heartily; nowadays she did not brood too much on her defeat. Her mother , however, had not yet reconciled to the situation. She had no appetite, and after sometime, put her chopsticks away. Extremely annoyed, she said to Yan Liang,” If you had chosen Lu Zheng..”

Yan Liang used her chopsticks to pick up a bit of food. She pretended she hadn’t heard her mother. She did not know whether to laugh or cry and just sat eating quietly.

After the meal was over, her mother left with the driver while she drove herself to Jiang Yu Nan’s apartment.

The main door was open. When she entered, she had not anticipated that apart from the employees of the moving company , there would be one more person in the apartment.

He sat quietly on the couch in the centre of the living room, smoking. He was wearing the same shoes and suit that he had on since last night. He looked like a husband, tired after a days work, waiting for his wife to come back home from work. Or like a person who was bankrupt, allowing strangers to empty out his apartment. But all through this, he just continued smoking , his head down, his body language indifferent.

There was no ashtray at hand, the soot fell directly on the floor.

On the floor, by his shoes, there were numerous cigarette butts.

Yan Liang had no idea how to process this scene.

At this moment, strangers were bustling about in her home; she was standing at the door, he was sitting on the couch, and it felt as if the huge distance between them was covered with dense smoke.

The sounds of the moving staff finally brought her back to reality. This place was not a home, simply a place of evil intentions.

Sometimes reality is too harsh, sometimes clarity is too cruel. Yan Liang ignored all this and quickly walked through the living room to the study. She packed her files quickly, she wanted to leave as soon as possible. But when she was carrying the carton through the living room, a calm voice stopped her in her path, “ When will you send me the divorce papers?”

*** ***

The man was sitting on the couch, a fresh cigarette between his fingers.

As he spoke, he looked up at her. The black pupils of his eyes were indecipherable, as if telling her how difficult it was to read the emotions of this man.

Yan Liang looked back at him.

What a beautiful illusion! An excruciating agony was reflected in his eyes, a pain that was deep and irrevocable. It seemed as if his eyes were telling the cruel world that the most important thing in his life, the only tool he had to fight the coldness in his heart, the only bit of warmth in his existence was leaving him for good..

Yan Liang closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again; the illusion of love was destroyed as she tried hard to remember what this man was really like.

This person had used the most cruel methods to teach her all about duplicity.

“Why would I want to divorce you ?” She laughed, “One day Jiang Shi Jun will leave Xu’s shares to you. As long as I am Mrs Jiang, I will get a share of that.”

Saying this, she decided to leave.
