"As far as I know, since you arrived, the company's promising future has been completely ruined by you. The Lin Corporation, which could have been globally renowned, is now struggling with a severely damaged reputation due to tax evasion and embezzlement issues, with products not selling and orders dwindling." Lin Qingxue slowly spoke, her tone bearing a slight disdain: "Now you can't wait to get your hands on my inheritance and shares to help you through this crisis." "If it were before, I might have agreed, but now that I know how bad your character is, don't even think about getting anything from me." "Tsk, did you hear that? My lady here says no, and that's final." As Lin Qingxue finished her words, Hao Jian stepped forward, standing in front of Lin Qingxue, shielding her, and sneering at Shen Xia, "Wherever you came from, you'd better go back. We have things to do and won't stay here to accompany you!" With that, Hao Jian grabbed Lin Qingxue's small hand, stretched his leg, and planned to leave. Shen Xia's face turned unpleasant as he suddenly shouted angrily. As the current Young Master of Lin Corporation, even though the company's strength has weakened considerably, it's still a major company, and he's still a Young Master. Hence, he naturally carries the arrogance of a Young Master. Originally living with his mother, Shen Xin, in some not-so-great houses, he had been bullied by many since childhood, plotting revenge once he had money. Now the opportunity finally came. A month ago, his mother suddenly grabbed him excitedly, left their dilapidated home, and moved into the luxurious Lin Family villa district, residing in a place they never dared to dream of, with monthly pocket money that he couldn't earn in a lifetime. In the past, he was very fascinated with the Hummer cars he saw on TV. Now that he had money, the first thing he did was buy a Hummer and even redecorate it. However, due to Huaxia's legal issues, his car could only be driven around here, as no one around could challenge him. Hao Jian glanced slightly at Shen Xia, a cold light flashed in his eyes. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would've dealt with him a long time ago. "Step aside, I'm not talking to you!" Shen Xia waved his hand suddenly, his face unpleasantly staring at Lin Qingxue, laughing angrily, "I'm talking to this bastard! If you don't want trouble, leave now." "Do you know who I am?! I'm the eldest son of Lin Corporation. If you don't leave, believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Upon hearing this, Hao Jian suddenly sneered, then his eyes darkened: "Did you just speak ill of my lady? Or are you seeking death?" "Regarding your so-called Lin Corporation, I really haven't heard of it. Even if I have, I don't believe you can kill me." Holding Lin Qingxue's small hand, gripping it slightly to reassure her, indicating that she shouldn't worry and leave it to him, especially since when Shen Xia uttered those words, Lin Qingxue shuddered, seemingly angry, and Hao Jian, in a way, was coaxing Lin Qingxue to keep her calm. Regarding Shen Xia's words, Hao Jian really wanted to laugh out loud, because it's entirely a joke. In Hua City here, someone dares to speak ill of him on his turf, or maybe intends to show him some colors? Who gave Shen Xia such boldness to say this in front of the boss of Hua City? "You're seeking death?!" Shen Xia's face grew angrier, his eyes blazing with rage as he glared at Lin Qingxue, yelling, "You bastard! Know this, hand over everything we want right now! Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll stay intact and alive!" "Whoosh!" As Shen Xia finished speaking, he suddenly felt darkness in front of him, followed by a sudden tightening of his collar. He looked up only to find Hao Jian, who had somehow appeared in front of him and had lifted him! "Let go!" Shen Xia roared angrily, how could he, as the Young Master of Lin Corporation, be bullied by some man of unknown origin?! Hao Jian sneered, "Heh, you really do overestimate yourself! Who do you think you are?! Just a Young Master of a lousy company, planning to cause trouble in Hua City. You're dreaming too big, aren't you? Moreover, you just insulted my woman, are you really seeking death?" "Don't you know, if it weren't for considering that you're related to my lady, you would've already died with that first sentence!" "Hmph! Such big talk!" Hao Jian's words might make one's heart tremble, but for Shen Xia, he absolutely wouldn't admit that anyone in Hua City has a higher status than him. Even if someone does have a higher status, it absolutely wouldn't be Hao Jian. In his view, this man is so ordinary, and also Lin Qingxue's man, how could he possibly be formidable? However, being grabbed always makes someone uncomfortable, so Shen Xia kept shouting, trying to get Hao Jian to let go, but unfortunately, Hao Jian didn't seem to intend to let go. At this moment, Lin Qingxue's voice suddenly echoed in Hao Jian's ear. Hao Jian was startled and quickly turned his head. Seeing Lin Qingxue's expressionless face, he sighed and casually tossed Shen Xia aside, coldly snorting, "Don't speak nonsense again. Next time won't be so simple!" "Haha! Would the Young Master of Lin Corporation be afraid of your threats? What a joke!" Unfortunately, Shen Xia, who was tossed a short distance away and climbed back up, couldn't even manage anger on hearing Hao Jian's words. He burst into laughter filled with disdain for Hao Jian's remarks. "Are you handing it over or not?" Shen Xia looked at Lin Qingxue, with a smirk, seemingly confident that he could obtain the inheritance and shares: "You know these things don't do much good in your hands. If you give them to me, we can pretend nothing happened. I told you, you are still the Young Mistress of Lin Corporation." "I'm not interested in being the Young Mistress of Lin Corporation." Lin Qingxue interrupted Shen Xia before he could finish speaking, directly refusing. "You... what did you say?!" Immersed in his world, Shen Xia was suddenly brought back to reality by Lin Qingxue's words, making his face turn sour. "Bastard, what did you say?!" Hao Jian's eyes suddenly darkened with anger, about to make a move, but before he could act, he felt a small hand grasping his arm. Turning his head, he saw Lin Qingxue holding onto his arm, preventing him from taking action. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Lin Qingxue's expression and immediately shook his head. Lin Qingxue's face was somewhat ugly. No matter how much she tried to hold back, she would still be angry when Shen Xia repeatedly insulted her in front of Hao Jian. After all, Hao Jian was her love interest, and now, with such matters arising within the family, she was the most embarrassed! "Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!" Suddenly, Lin Qingxue extended her hand toward the distance, exclaiming, "Get out of here immediately! Don't appear before me again. I won't give you anything! Even if I die, I won't hand over these precious things to you!" On hearing this, Shen Xia's face remained nasty, holding his arms, looking at Lin Qingxue and sneering, "Are you sure you won't hand them over to me? You know my methods, I grew up amongst gangsters, I can still pull off a few tricks..." Pausing slightly in his words, Shen Xia revealed a contemptuous look, uttering words that made Lin Qingxue's face become even worse. "Do you know, all these years, the meals you've eaten were paid with Lin Corporation's money, and your current status was all because our Lin Corporation helped you. Only with our support could you obtain these things, and now you want to deny such things?" Shen Xia pointed to a small notebook in his hand, suddenly smiling: "Do you know what's recorded in this little notebook?" The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩 "It contains many phone numbers, all of them belong to Lin Corporation's senior executives. Just one call from me, and these people will become my strength." "You know our family values heritage the most, now that you've committed this act of betrayal against the family, I can completely apply to the family's decision-makers to make sure all those who want to help you won't dare to!" Finishing his words, Shen Xia sneered: "I've heard you're doing a little business recently…" "Do you know that just a call from our family, and those cooperating with you will not cooperate anymore? Even your so-called man wouldn't get involved in such matters, and by then you'll be isolated, with no one to rely on." His threatening words, one after another, made Lin Qingxue's delicate face turn pale. How did he know these things? She hadn't mentioned her business affairs to anyone. Not even to Hao Jian, she hadn't told him. She was just looking for a suitable day to inform Hao Jian. After all, once she started doing business and Hao Jian found out, surely he would help her, and it wouldn't be her own business but Hao Jian's. Since Hao Jian's status in Hua City, once those people knew he wanted to do business, at least in terms of currying favor, many would plan to pleasingly lose money to gain Hao Jian's favor. In other words, Shen Xia's words had hit Lin Qingxue's vital point, unless she could set aside her pride and ask Hao Jian for help.
