My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 474: Meeting II

“She looks happier now.” Grandfather Jiang smiled bitterly while looking at the pictures of Xu Nuan that Han Zihao had sent to her.

In the picture, she was sitting with the family of Han Zihao and was eating ice cream together with everyone. She was laughing while talking to Han Zihao’s Grandmother and looked happy in the picture.

The last time they met, Han Zihao had promised him that he will keep sending him pictures of Xu Nuan so that he will not miss her too much and will get involved in her life as well.

Even though they haven’t told Xu Nuan about it yet, he was happy to watch her from afar as well. He doesn’t want to put her in any danger by getting too close to her.

After finding out the truth about the deeds of Jiang Ru, Han Zihao has been helping him in every possible way. He even found a great hacker to help him with the phone-tapping issue which was making things difficult for him without being noticed by Jiang Ru.

Jiang Ru had installed an app on his phone to keep an eye on him. However, that hacker was so good at his work that he stopped the system from reading his movements and signals anymore.

However, it hasn’t been stopped by Jiang Ru’s side. It has been frozen but to Jiang Ru, it will display that as if it is still active and recording his movements.

.....

Rather than showing his current actions and phone calls, the system will repeat the past recorded actions and signals instead. It was a great way to create a wall between him and Jiang Ru because she shouldn’t find out what he was plotting these days to pin her down.

Jiang Ru is his Grand-daughter but he doesn’t recognize her as one anymore. Even though she is part of his family and his blood runs in her veins, he will never forget her for the crimes that she committed.

Now she is nothing but a criminal in his eyes. A criminal, who killed her cousin for the sake of money and wealth.

How dare she pretend as if nothing had happened and she wasn’t involved in everything? After Jiang Yue passed away, she was feigning to be the filial eldest granddaughter of the Jiang Household by taking charge of the company when Grandfather Jiang was at his lowest after Jiang Yue’s death.

She was working hard while he was mourning Jiang Yue’s death. However, who was the one who caused her death? Who was the one who planned that accident and killed her before she could explore many things in life?

While Grandfather Jiang was looking at Xu Nuan’s pictures on his mobile phone and was delighted that his little girl is not only alive but also going to give birth to her little one soon, someone knocked on the door.

He closed his phone immediately and put it away before answering the knock on the door. ” Come in.”

Grandfather Jiang sighed in ease when the door of his office was pushed open and Gu De, his secretary entered his office. He thought that Jiang Ru had come to look for him.

It was a good thing that she didn’t come to look for him before the meeting. Because he doesn’t want to see her face before attending such an important meeting.

Because he was afraid that he would lose his cool during the meeting if he sees her face before it and it will not be good for their plan.

” Sir, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room for the meeting. If you’re ready, we can leave for the meeting.” Gu De said.

Grandfather Jiang pursed his lips in a thin line and nodded solemnly. ” Let’s go. There is no need for us to postpone it any longer.” He said and stood up from his chair to go to the meeting room along with Gu De.

He adjusted his clothes and closed the buttons of his suit before walking out of his office.

It is finally D-Day.

The day he will be confronting Jiang Ru in front of everyone and not pushing her back like a coward and trying to defend himself. However, not anymore. It’s time for the official attack.

Jiang Corporations – Conference room.

In the conference room, all the major shareholders who were invited to the meeting were present and were waiting for the Chairman to arrive and lead the meeting.

Everyone was curious to know why the Chairman suddenly arranged this meeting. The objective of the meeting wasn’t clear in the email and no one knew the exact reason for this meeting.

While the people were whispering among them, Jiang Ru who was also waiting for the meeting to start was pleased by everyone’s surprised reactions.

‘ Why are they even so curious about the reason behind this meeting? Isn’t it obvious? It’s to make me the next successor of this company. Hah! Losers.’ She smirked while she took a sip of the bottled water while glancing at the seat of the Head of the board of shareholders, which belongs to Grandfather Jiang.

Since Grandfather Jiang was going to announce her as the next CEO of the Jiang Corporation, she went to the salon to get ready in the morning and wore her customized, designed white formal suit.

The white suit looked elegant and graceful on her, meanwhile, the small golden brooch was standing her out among everyone in the meeting room, making her shine brighter than everyone else.

” Jiang Ru, do you know why Father arranged this meeting?” Jiang Yahui, her father who was sitting opposite her, tapped her hand to get her attention and whispered in a low voice.

“Can’t you see? Other than handing the responsibilities of the company to me, what other choice does he have? I am sure it will be good news.” She said, assuring her father to calm down and not worry unnecessarily.

Her father is the CEO of the company but only has nominal powers in the company and no real decision power in his hands. It is nothing but humiliating to become the nominal head of a company.

After she becomes the CEO of the company, unlike her father, she wants all the power in her hands and runs the company on her terms.

While Jiang Ru was drowning in happiness and was already feeling tipsy without drinking alcohol, the door of the meeting room was pushed open and Grandfather Jiang entered the room along with his secretary, Gu De.

Everyone became silent to see Jiang Hanying entering the room and stood up to greet him respectfully.

“Everyone, please sit down.” Grandfather Jiang sat at the table and glanced at everyone before saying, ” I am glad that you all attended this sudden meeting. Since time is money, I will not waste anyone’s precious money and will get onto the main point of the meeting.”

Jiang Ru’s face lit up to see Grandfather Jiang talking about the main purpose of the meeting and the corners of her lips already started to rise into a smile.

She was sure about the outcome of this meeting. However, she was still feeling nervous and her heart was pounding so hard as if it would fall out of her chest any moment.

” I have asked for this meeting because I wanted to discuss the future of the company and announce my decision regarding the next head of the Jiang Corporation.” As soon as he said those words, the quiet meeting room was disrupted into a chaotic discussion.

Everyone looked towards Jiang Ru who was dressed extravagantly today and was looking stunning in her white suit. Her fancy outfit was telling everyone that Jiang Ru must be the reason why Grandfather Jiang arranged this meeting.

Jiang Ru could feel everyone’s eyes on her and smiled shyly, tucking a few hair strands behind her hair, and said. “Grandfather, what is the hurry? Shouldn’t we have a cup of coffee before we start the meeting? You must be tired.” Jiang Ru said while showing her close relationship with Jiang Hanying to dissipate the rumors about how Grandfather Jiang doesn’t like her and ignores her at every single official event.

Grandfather Jiang glanced at her coldly and before Jiang Ru could send someone to buy coffee for everyone, he spoke, ” There is no need. We will go along with the meeting.”

“Ah! Alright. Please go ahead.” Jiang Ru was slightly embarrassed by his rude attitude in front of everyone. However, if he makes her the CEO of the company today with all the necessary powers, then she will not hold any grudges against him and will treat him nicely, and will not be mean to him.

Grandfather Jiang didn’t react much to Jiang Ru’s words and turned to the other board of members instead. ” After Jiang Yue’s death, my health started to deteriorate and I believe we need the young energy to keep up with the fresh changes at the company.”

” We need someone who is young and capable enough to lead the company and does not only have good leadership qualities but a well-versed understanding of the business tactics and theories as well.” He said.

” That someone is none other than-”
