Chapter 578 News (3)_1
"I’ve talked to her. Xiao Qian is truly annoyed this time. She said that Situ Xin promised that our Liu Family wouldn’t fall, but that’s as far as it goes," Old Master Liu sighed lightly as he spoke. However, even such a commitment from Situ Xin to not let the Liu Family collapse was enough to satisfy Old Master Liu. He knew that this concession from Situ Xin was given out of consideration for his daughter Liu Qian; otherwise, the fate that befell the Shan Family could just as easily have been the Liu Family’s fate.
"What? Situ Xin still intends to go against our Liu Family. Dad, why didn’t you talk some sense into Xiao Qian? The Liu Family is her maternal home, after all. How can she just watch as her own maternal family is tormented into ruin by Situ Xin?" People’s hearts are never easily contented. Initially, when Liu Bowen hadn’t heard any assurance about the Liu Family’s survival, his only thought was that it’d be sufficient for the family to avoid collapse. But now, upon learning that the Liu Family’s safety is secured, his dissatisfaction grew, longing for more. But where could one find such luck in this world?
Old Master Liu, however, saw things more clearly than his eldest son. Upon hearing his son’s words, he snorted and said, "Situ Xin is only sparing the Liu Family because of your sister’s face. Do you really think, after what we did to Ah Che, that Situ Xin would let us off so easily? And you want me to go talk to your sister? I don’t have the face to see her again. If you want to talk, go yourself."
Old Master Liu had lost hope in his eldest son. It was only today that he realized just how much his son had changed, becoming completely different from before.
"Miss, following your instructions, we’ve already pushed the Shan’s stocks to their lowest point. Now, we’ve begun to take over some scattered shares from Shan Family’s hands," the voice on the phone paused briefly before asking, "Miss, how much of the Shan’s shares do you plan to acquire?" The person on the other end was uncertain of the extent to which Situ Xin wished to go.
Situ Xin, reclined on her room’s chaise longue with a glass of wine in hand, looked thoroughly pleased with herself. And Baibai, eyes narrowed, seemed to be similarly enjoying the grape wine held between its two paws.
Situ Xin, sipping her wine, narrowed her eyes upon hearing the words from the other end of the phone and slowly said, "Acquire as much as possible. Of course, if you can buy all of the Shan Family’s shares, that would be even better. I want to replace the Shan Family as the largest shareholder in Shan’s." She intended to strip the Shan Family of what they valued the most.
Although the person on the other end of the line was unsure what exactly the Shan Family did to offend their Miss Situ Xin, they were ready to fulfill her demands without question. "Yes, Miss. I understand. You just wait for our good news."
No sooner had the call with Situ Xin ended than her mother, Loo Yaxin, rushed in with a newspaper in hand, bursting into the room without even knocking. "Baby, take a look at this paper. I really didn’t see it coming—the Shan Family’s Shan Qiu Ling has such a scandalous private life. They’re not some small, unimportant family; how can their family education be so poor?"
When Loo Yaxin saw this news, her first thought was of her daughter Situ Xin. She had come running over with the newspaper in hand.
