"I know, I meant it when I said I'd transfer the shares to Xiao Yu. I truly owe him for this, but... you need to watch out for Chu Weixian," Jin Lan couldn't help but remind his sister.
"I know," Jin Qing didn't argue with her brother. She understood him best; he had been smart and wise since childhood, rarely acting irrationally, so she trusted his judgment unconditionally.
After the siblings finished their conversation, Chu Weixian returned. Not seeing Chu Yu, he walked over and sighed, "Xiao Yu is genuinely hurt this time. Xiao Lan, you really need to comfort him."
"He's an adult; he should be able to manage his own emotions. Don't worry, I'll have the lawyer handle the shares tomorrow," Jin Lan said.
"Alright, then I'll wait for your news tomorrow. I can definitely persuade Xiao Yu," Chu Weixian said with a smile, clearly delighted.
Jin Qing's expression remained neutral. She stood up and said, "I need to have a word with Jiang Yan."
"Sis!" Jin Lan looked at his sister nervously.
Jin Qing couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you afraid I'll badmouth you to her? Don't worry, I have something for her. It's something Mother left for her future daughter-in-law."
"How come I didn't know? When did Mom leave it?" Jin Lan's thoughts turned to his mother, and he still felt an ache.
"There's a lot you don't know. I'll be right back," Jin Qing said, going upstairs first to retrieve the item from her mother's belongings. After retrieving it, she came back downstairs.
Chu Weixian had been watching Jin Qing. Seeing her walk over, he felt a pang of anxiety, but considering the shares he was about to gain, he didn't move. He was calculating the current shareholding of the Jin Group for himself and his son. He held ten percent, his son held five percent, and with Jin Lan's additional twenty percent, they would collectively own thirty percent.
Jin Qing currently held thirty percent, and Jin Lan held twenty percent. It was still far from enough to regain control of the Jin Group. Even if he acquired all the scattered shares, it would only bring him to an even footing with the siblings.
He still needed to do a few more things if he wanted to swallow the Jin Group whole.
Ever since marrying Jin Qing, he had dedicated himself to the Jin Group. Without him, how could the Jin Group have developed so rapidly? Many of the overseas businesses were expanded by him. What had Jin Qing and Jin Lan done? They simply reaped the rewards, which was inherently unfair.
"Brother-in-law, you and my sister have been seeing each other less and less lately. You should spend more time with your family when you can," Jin Lan said indifferently. He disliked this man. His eyes were always filled with schemes. His sister, blinded by love, couldn't see it, but he saw it clearly.
"Of course, I will," Chu Weixian replied with a smile.
...
Jiang Yan looked at the top-tier jade jewelry set Jin Qing had given her and said, "This is too precious; I can't accept it."
"This is what my mother specifically left for her future daughter-in-law. If you don't accept it, does that mean you don't want to marry my brother?" Jin Qing insisted, pushing the gift towards her.
"But my brother and I aren't married yet," Jiang Yan said.
"Jiang Yan, you might not know this, but people in our Jin family are very persistent once they fall in love. I know you are a good girl, and only you can bring happiness to my brother. I sincerely wish you both a lifetime of happiness together," Jin Qing said, offering the girl her heartfelt blessings.
Jiang Yan felt a touch of shame. "Don't you dislike me?"
