C28 No Way to Back Down

She could not back down now.

On one hand was Lu Jingshen, whom she did not dare to offend, and on the other hand was Chen Yongda, who had turned against her.

No matter what she did and explained, in the end she would still be at the wrong.

She would never dare to offend Lu Jingshen, therefore, she could only sacrifice Chen Yongda.

As long as she insisted on the relationship between Chen Yongda and Jing Ning, there would be a reason for everything she had done today.

Not only that, Jing Ning would also earn herself an infamy for cheating on him.

Lu Jingshen would never tolerate his woman for betraying him.

By that time, not only Jing Ning would be tangled with Chen Yongda, but her position in Lu Jingshen's heart would be threatened too. Besides, it would not be too late to deal with her by then!

Thinking of this, there was a trace of brutality flashed across Wang Xuemei's eyes.

However, the next second, she heard Chen Yongda explained hurriedly, "President Lu, she's talking nonsense! Miss Jing and I have never met before, so how could we be in a relationship? If you don't believe me, you can investigate me!"

"Chen Yongda, you're a coward who dare not bear the responsibility! Do you still remember how you kneeled down before me and beg me to agree with both of your relationships? And now you're pushing away your responsibility! Are you even a man?"

Chen Yongda was so furious that he pointed at Wang Xuemei as his fingers trembled.

"Damn you old hag! Now that things have come to such a state, you're trying to blame it all on me just because you're afraid to bear the responsibility! Let alone framing me, you even want to frame Miss Jing! Do you think President Lu is a fool? Do you think he would trust your lies?"

Wang Xuemei sneered.

"You still want to argue? Fine! You've said that I bribed you. But do you have the evidence? I haven't pursued the matter of you drugging Jing Ning! And now you're blaming me?"

Chen Yongda's face turned ashen.

He was indeed the one who put the drug into the cocktail.

However, that was only because he believed in Wang Xuemei's words, that was why he followed according to her plan.

Now she actually wanted to deny her involvement in this matter and blame it all onto him?

Chen Yongda was about to blow his top, yet he could not say a word, only glaring at Wang Xuemei furiously.

Previously, when they discussed this matter, it was always a face to face discussion. Therefore, Wang Xuemei already knew that he could not take out any evidence. Seeing this, she let out a proud cold snort.

Jing Ning looked at this scene and suddenly thought of a word to describe both of them.

- Dog eat dog world.

Isn't that right?

Previously, both of them were still standing on the same line. Now that they were frightened by Lu Jingshen, they immediately turned against each other.

But it was such a pity.

She smiled cheekily and heard the man's indifferent voice sounded beside her.

"I just want to know the truth, but you guys are arguing here. Do you guys really think I'm that free to watch the show?"

The man pricked his ears as his face filled with impatience.

Wang Xuemei and Chen Yongda were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Wang Xuemei immediately explained with a smile, "President Lu, I really didn't know about your relationship with Ning. Seriously, this child, she should have told us about her marriage with you! It's indeed our mistake for making things this complicated. Could you please let us off for the sake of the marriage between two families?"

Lu Jingshen lifted his gaze and looked at her with a faint smile.

"Marriage?"

Wang Xuemei smiled awkwardly, but she still managed to hold on.

By thinking about that, since Lu Jingshen and Jing Ning were husband and wife, As Jing Ning's grandmother, she was naturally Lu Jingshen's grandmother too.

Aren't they in-laws?

That was why Wang Xuemei still dared speak up until now.

After all, she was an elder, even if Lu Jingshen was angry or dissatisfied, he would not go too far for the sake of their future relationship.

But if he ever believe her and became suspicious of Jing Ning, that would be even better.

After all, she never expected Jing Ning, that wretched girl, to get any benefits from the Lu Family. Even if there were benefits, with the bad relationship between Jing Family and Jing Ning, she would never think of the family.

Therefore, it would be even better if she lost this powerful backer!

While immersing in her thoughts, Lu Jingshen's voice suddenly passed her ears.

"Since none of you are willing to tell the truth, then I can only treat everyone equally and deal with all of you together!"

Wang Xuemei was slightly startled, lifting her head to look at him and saw Lu Jingshen giving Su Mu an order.

Su Mu immediately went out and not long after, he came in with a large stack of documents.

"President, these are all the properties under the name of Jing's and Young Master Chen. They're all here."

Lu Jingshen took it and flipped through it.

Everyone present was stupefied, not knowing his intention of doing so.

He suddenly pulled one document out from the middle, lit it with a lighter, and slowly placed it in the ashtray in front of him.

It was a property under Chen Yongda's name which Father Chen had given him.

Upon seeing that, Cheng Yongda was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked "President Lu, w-what are you doing?"

Lu Jingshen said leisurely, "Since all of you are not telling me the truth, I'll naturally need to think of a way to pry your mouth open! All of these are the properties under your name. I'm gonna burn one every three minutes. Whoever tells me first I'll return it back to you. What do you think?"

You still have the nerve to ask us for our opinions.

Pft! You're too shameless!

The few of them were furious yet dare not say anything. At this instant, Wang Xuemei also realized that her previous thoughts were all wrong because Lu Jingshen did not even put her in his eyes.

Her face turned cold and she said in a deep voice, "President Lu, not to mention about the rest but these properties have already been registered. Do you think burning the documents work?"

Lu Jingshen looked at her with a smile, "Oh, Madame Jing is right. Thanks for reminding me. Su Mu!"

Su Mu immediately stepped forward, "Yes, President?"

"Pass on my orders. Each time I burn a document, I'll purchase a company under their name forcefully. Those that cannot be purchased will be suppressed until they declare bankruptcy. Leave those stocks and funds that are at the loss, but those profiting ones, do inform Old K to make arrangements. I believe that they'll suffer losses before dawn."

Su Mu nodded heavily and try to suppressed his laughter, "Yes."

He turned and walked out.

Seeing that, the people from Jing Family and Chen Yongda panicked.

"President Lu, you can't do this!"

"These are all the hard work we've put in for decades. You can't just destroy them as you wish!"

At this moment, Wang Xuemei really wanted to bite off her tongue.

Why did she even tell him that?

If she did not say anything, he would just burn the document. Now, they would be left with nothing!

Lu Jingshen looked at them with a cold face, not wavering in the slightest.

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me! Or not?"

Chen Yongda nodded immediately, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Wang Xuemei shouted, "Chen Yongda, think before you speak!"

Chen Yongda had no time to care about those anymore, roaring at her, "Enough! Jing Family can withstand the loss with the huge business you own. But I'm not like you. That's all I have. My father will be the first to kill me if everything is ruined!"

Wang Xuemei was so mad at him that her face turned ashen.
