Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Revenge

"Then I’ll arrange for someone to take Xiaojie abroad soon. We’ll also give you a vacation—you can go abroad and stay with Xiaojie for a while. Once she’s fully adjusted or feels better, you can return. I’ll continue your salary here as usual," said Xu Ke.

Having accepted Xu Ke’s kindness, Sister Zhou didn’t have any objections when she heard this news. Her daughter had never been far from her since she was little, so she was uneasy about letting her go abroad alone. Thus, Sister Zhou nodded in agreement.

"I won’t stay long, just accompany Xiaojie for a month, then I’ll return," Sister Zhou said, not intending to take advantage of Xu Ke, and directly expressing her thoughts.

"Alright, then I’ll arrange for your visa as well. Today, please take extra care of Yaoyao," Xu Ke nodded and said. Then he picked up the car keys from the dining table and walked out.

Sitting in the car, Xu Ke called Xu Jie, "Everything is going according to plan." He said no more and hung up the call. Immediately after, he called Brother Long, "You can start now." With another brief instruction, he ended the conversation.

He began to look forward to the chaos in the Jin family. Xu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the traffic ahead, exuding a dangerous aura.

Meanwhile, the assistant who received Jin Zhengxiong’s orders quickly made some preparations and went to find Liao Yanyan. This foolish woman would disappear from the world today. The assistant walked quickly along the road, unaware that a pair of eyes was watching his every move from the shadows.

Jin Zhengxiong sat alone in an empty room, a fierce look gleaming in his aged eyes.

On this seemingly ordinary day, Xu Ke made his first direct contact with the Jin family members.

In another room of the Jin family, Jin Yuyan looked at Grandpa Jin with a serious expression, while Grandpa Jin looked gravely at the stock price of their already plunged shares. The wrinkles on his face seemed deeper because of it.

In nearly forty years since Jin family came into his hands, this was the biggest crisis they had faced.

"Should I say no surprise for someone from Shangjing? To secretly gain control of so many of our Jin family’s shares without making a sound—isn’t it clear now that it’s the younger generation’s world?" Grandpa Jin sighed, his tone emotionless.

"Grandpa, you’ve made the wrong move. We should never have turned against Xu Ke back then." Though Jin Yuyan didn’t explicitly say it was a mistake for Grandpa Jin to support Jin Zhengxiong, her tone carried a hint of complaint.

Grandpa Jin frowned, looking at his granddaughter with dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about? So what if the shares plummeted today? We’re not going bankrupt immediately. Some assets have just evaporated, and as long as we remedy this in time, it’s nothing significant for the Jin family."

"When did you become so short-sighted? Do I need to teach you what’s more important between money and family? What if Xu Ke sells the shares? We’ll just buy them back. This situation, handled well, can be an opportunity rather than a disaster. Do you need me to teach you such a simple principle? Mobilize the funds we can use to buy back all the sold-off shares," Grandpa Jin said with a harsh tone.

"Yes." Jin Yuyan replied softly.

If Grandpa Jin had turned his gaze to Jin Yuyan at this moment, he would have noticed how stiff her body and expression were. The spare money at home had long been used by her to target Jin Zhengxiong’s company in Bai City. At this moment, how could she have extra money to buy back the family’s shares?

When Jin Yuyan stepped out, a bitter smile appeared on her face. Wasn’t this a case of lifting a stone only to drop it on her own foot? Jin Yuyan thought coldly.

But just as Grandpa Jin said, this matter could indeed be a blessing rather than a curse. Buying back the Jin family’s shares was a must.

Thinking about this, Jin Yuyan bit her lower lip as if she had made a decision, and walked out with determined steps.

Meanwhile, the Xu Ke being mentioned was sitting in the Jiahe Group’s building, overlooking the city through a layer of glass, a mocking smile on his lips. "Looks like they’ve received my gift. I just wonder if they like it or not?"

Xu Ke took a sip of the pale yellow liquid in his goblet, his eyes narrowing slightly, glinting with a fragmented light. His expression was indescribably satisfied, even the piled-up documents on his desk seemed somewhat endearing.

The phone rang abruptly in the empty office. Seeing the name displayed on the screen, Xu Ke’s face showed an expression of realization.

Xu Ke answered the call just before the ringtone ended, "Is there something Miss Jin wants to discuss with me?" he said coldly.

The other end was silent for a moment before Jin Yuyan’s somewhat awkward voice came through, "Xu Ke, could you come out today? There’s something I want to talk to you about."

"Alright."

Xu Ke’s prompt agreement left Jin Yuyan’s prepared words useless. Even though her goal was achieved, she felt even more troubled.

The meeting place was a private restaurant. In the private room, Jin Yuyan handed the menu to Xu Ke, "I don’t know what you like to eat. You can order."

"You go ahead and order," Xu Ke pushed the menu back.

Seeing that Xu Ke had no intention of ordering, Jin Yuyan randomly picked a few dishes, then signaled the waiter to leave. After all, their visit wasn’t for the meal.

"Why did you ask me here today?" Xu Ke relaxed his posture against the back of the chair and asked.

"Isn’t this all within your calculations? How would you not know why I came?" Jin Yuyan looked at the man in front of her, whose appearance, demeanor, cunning, and schemes were impeccable. Her eyes were complicated. Yet at this moment, Xu Ke no longer stirred any excitement in her heart, only wary fear.

This kind of man was like a wolf. Unless he willingly submits, he would eventually devour you. Fortunately, realizing this now was not too late.

Xu Ke’s lips curled into an enigmatic smile, "Yes, I indeed know why you came. So, have you thought of how to convince me?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow at Jin Yuyan, his eyes devoid of any emotion, eerily calm.

"Honestly, I haven’t thought it through. Seeing you now, I’ve lost all ability to articulate. The tongue that could eloquently say everything lost its function. So today, I’ll be sincere and try to win you over with my sincerity," Jin Yuyan said, glancing at the teacup containing the green-colored tea in front of her.
