Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 223
Chapter 223: Giving Him A Slap
“What did you say?” Fury consumed Lin Jingxuan as he sat up suddenly on the bed.
“Young Master, you need not trouble yourself with the company’s affairs anymore.”
“Who told you that?”
“This is what Old Master Lin wanted me to convey to you.”
Gu Feirou interrogated him coldly. “And why did he say that?”
After pausing momentarily, the butler said, “Because Second Young Madam wants to take charge of all the subsidiaries.”
“Who is she to make this kind of demand? A woman as useless as she is has no place in the company! Is she capable of managing the company? That d*mned old man… Is grandpa planning to give her the company so she can play with it?”
“Old Master Lin wanted to fulfill her wish because Second Young Master dotes on her. Besides, Second Young Master will be around to help her so there won’t be an issue.”
“Rubbish!”
“Young Master, you can look for the old master if you aren’t happy with the arrangement. Please take care of your health in the meantime.”
The man was ready to get off the bed. He was so upset that the wound on his chest throbbed painfully again.
“Jingxuan, what are you doing?”
“I’m going to find grandpa now.”
The woman tried to stop him. “You haven’t fully recovered yet. We can look for him later when you are well.”
“Go away.” After pushing her hand away, he got up and started to change into the clothes next to him.
The butler left the room wordlessly after witnessing the scene.
…
Later, at the Lin Residence…
Lin Jingxuan and Gu Feirou arrived at the estate in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Ye Erruo was enjoying tea with Old Master Lin. The old man was chatting happily with his daughter-in-law while a painting bearing the famous shrimp was hanging next to them. They seemed to be busy talking about the painting.
The door to the hallway was opened with a loud ‘Pong’.
Clenching his chest, Lin Jingxuan entered the living room with Gu Feirou, who was holding onto him anxiously.
As she cocked a brow, Ye Erruo watched the couple approach with a half-smile on her face.
“Grandpa.” The young man greeted his grandfather through gritted teeth.
The old man’s face sank. He was having a good time chatting with his daughter-in-law so he was irked by the sudden interruption. “Why are you here when you should be recuperating at home?”
“Grandpa, are you sure you wanna give the company to this woman so she can destroy it?”
“This is an unkind thing to say.”
“When you hand over our company to a woman who knows nothing, you are effectively destroying the Lin empire, aren’t you?”
“With Xiao Ye around, there is nothing to be worried about.”
His grandson’s lips had turned pale with anger. “On what grounds are you transferring our subsidiaries to her?”
This was the Lin Family’s inheritance so it all belonged to him.
Ye Erruo curled her lips into a smile. “Grandpa didn’t transfer them so don’t push all the blame on him. I wanted the subsidiaries.”
The man’s eyes shone ominously at her. “Why are you asking for these companies?”
“These companies will be useful to me.”
“What do you want them for? You are just a woman who knows no better. What the hell do you need them for?”
“This has nothing to do with you.” The woman slowly got up from her seat. “Grandpa, I’ll get a move on first. I’ll visit you soon.”
“Sure… Sure… Where’s Xiao Ye?”
“He went to the washroom.”
“Butler, take Young Madam to the door.”
“Yes, sir.”
The patriarch slowly got up from his chair as well. As he held her hand, he reminded her, “Ruoruo, do bring Xiao Ye over here regularly! I’m alone at home and I need company.”
“Okay.” She agreed with a faint smile.
Throughout their conversation, the old man had constantly brought up his grandson’s name so she could tell how much he liked Mo Jiangye…
Ye Erruo picked up her bag from the table and walked past Lin Jingxuan with a smirk on her face.
Suddenly, her former boyfriend grabbed her wrist without warning. Her body sprang backward as if she had been assaulted by a sudden gust of strong wind. Seeing that the man was about to slap her, she nimbly ducked aside with glinting eyes. She immediately gathered her strength and jumped away from him while sending a slap across his face.
SMACK! The loud sound of the slap reverberated across the hall.
“B*tch!” With a look that could kill, the man ruthlessly lunged forward and pulled her hair…
