Chapter 196: Chapter 196

Shen Gaizhuo thought to himself, if his father knew, would he have torn him to pieces by now?

"You don’t understand your father well enough." Old Madam Shen tightly grasped her son’s hand.

"Your eldest brother had an accident, Shen Jue is crippled, he’s old, the Shen Group naturally relies on you two. If he were to settle this score with you, it would be the end of the Shen Group. He wouldn’t allow the Shen Group, a legacy of the Shen Family for generations, to crumble in his hands." Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Old Madam Shen felt a great sense of relief, "More than half a year has passed, the eldest must be dead. It’s fortunate he’s dead, or else we would be finished."

Yet, what unsettled Old Madam Shen was this:

"It’s a pity Shen Jue survived. It would have been better if he had died." Old Madam Shen said, "Now that the old man knows about this, it’s not an easy task to target Shen Jue again. Over the next two years, no matter what the main family does, we have to avoid confrontation with them in front of the old man."

Shen Gaizhuo was still absorbed in the news that his father knew the truth about his elder brother’s car accident. Whatever Old Madam Shen said afterward, he hardly heard.

"Our immediate task is to quickly get the Shen Group into the control of you and Shen Xingwei. Your father values the company a lot. For the sake of the company’s growth, he won’t easily hinder it."

Old Madam Shen continuously reassured herself on the way.

It’s just a little over a hundred million. As long as the company is firmly in hand, even if another hundred million comes up, she wouldn’t care.

The Shen Group is the foundation of the Shen Family.

"Initially, I thought now that Rong Jiaojiao is engaged to Shen Xingwei, your dad would at least grant some shares as a gesture. But it seems your dad doesn’t mean that at all."

Old Madam Shen called out to Shen Gaizhuo, finally pulling him back from the previous thoughts.

"Go and talk to Rong Jiaojiao and her father. Have Mr. Rong intercede with your father. Rong Qingqing holds so many shares, it doesn’t make sense that Rong Jiaojiao, as the future mistress of the Shen Family, has nothing."

Old Madam Shen didn’t have the courage to bring this up in front of her husband, so she could only let Mr. Rong address it.

After all, Rong Jiaojiao is his own granddaughter. No matter how Mr. Rong may dislike her, he wouldn’t really let Rong Jiaojiao end up with nothing, right?

"Mom, I understand." Shen Gaizhuo wholeheartedly agreed with his mother’s words and took the matter to heart.

Meanwhile, at the hotpot restaurant.

Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue had no idea that when Rong Qingqing casually chose this hotpot restaurant, Rong Jiaojiao also happened to be having lunch here with a few friends today.

Their tables were quite far apart. If it weren’t for Rong Jiaojiao’s friend going to the buffet counter for sauces and scanning the room, they wouldn’t have known Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue were there too.

Upon spotting them, Rong Jiaojiao’s friend quickly returned to her seat and immediately informed Rong Jiaojiao of the situation.

"I saw Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue eating hotpot here too!" the girl whispered, "I even saw Shen Jue serve dishes to Rong Qingqing. Who knew Shen Jue could be so attentive?"

A girl nearby scoffed, "Shen Jue is crippled, and even Jiaojiao doesn’t want him anymore. If he doesn’t try to win over Rong Qingqing, she wouldn’t marry him, right? And if Rong Qingqing doesn’t marry him, Shen Jue would become an even bigger joke, wouldn’t he?"
