143: Gain the trust of the two women and help them inherit the Kangda Group
“Didn’t I show you your father’s will?”
“Do you think I was sent by your father? Or rather, you can see if this is your father’s handwriting.”
Lu Xingye smiled slightly, first helping himself to a chicken leg, showing no intention of being a guest.
On the contrary, he wanted to take the initiative.
Zhao Yinyun clicked her tongue and said nothing. She had seen the so-called will, and the handwriting was indeed her father’s, without a doubt.
Otherwise, she would have driven him away long ago.
On the other side, her older sister was eating intermittently, also silent, lost in thought.
“Eat.”
“Why think so much?”
“The loved one is gone, but we cannot live in sorrow forever. We must look forward, and continue to live for your parents.”
Lu Xingye said indifferently, then remained silent.
He was currently playing the role of Kangda Group’s butler. The two women needed companionship now, and sometimes saying too much was counterproductive.
He only needed to guide the two women slightly, guiding them to inherit Kangda Group and develop the Longevity medicine.
Immediately after.
After Lu Xingye finished eating, he lit another stick of incense for the spirit tablet nearby, then quietly left.
Gaining the trust of the two women was not an easy task.
He had to persevere.
The next day, Lu Xingye took the two women out for a stroll.
The third day, he took the two women to the grave to offer incense.
The fourth day, he took the two women out to play... Initially, the two women were unwilling to get too close to Lu Xingye, but because Lu Xingye was familiar with the plot, he not only knew their preferences but also spoke with humor and wit.
Soon.
Lu Xingye successfully gained the trust of the two women.
Tonight.
Lu Xingye, as usual, came to Zhao Yinyun’s house. He first lit a stick of incense for her father’s spirit tablet, then began to cook for the two women.
He didn't know why, but whenever he saw the two women, he felt their gazes were somewhat evasive, as if they wanted to tell him something.
Lu Xingye had a premonition that something special would happen today.
“Dinner.”
After placing the last dish on the dining table, Lu Xingye said indifferently.
Immediately after.
Zhao Yinyun and Zhao Lingmei moved towards the dining table.
However, Zhao Yinyun looked preoccupied.
Seeing her expression, Lu Xingye did not speak first, but waited for her to confess.
As expected.
After about ten minutes.
When everyone had eaten most of their meal, Zhao Yinyun’s voice suddenly came through.
“Kang Yuanxin.”
“Why are you so good to us?”
“Don’t tell me you have no ulterior motives. I won’t believe that.”
Thump... Lu Xingye’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
This question was like a test; if he answered well, it would be a bonus point. If he answered poorly, it would be a deduction, and he could forget about gaining the trust of the two women in the future.
It was really quite unlucky.
To reduce the game’s difficulty, he had tried to lower the intelligence of these two female protagonists as much as possible when writing the script, but he didn't expect them to still realize he had ulterior motives.
Zhao Yinyun truly lived up to her reputation as the Child of Destiny in this world.
However.
This couldn’t stump Lu Xingye.
Because he knew the plot, and with reasonable deduction, it wasn’t difficult to arrive at the correct answer.
After a slight hesitation, his calm voice came through.
“Two reasons.”
Saying this, Lu Xingye held up two fingers.
“Firstly: your father was kind to me, so it’s my duty to look after you.”
“Secondly: investing in you.”
“I believe you have potential in the future, and can inherit Kangda Group. I don’t need to say the rest, do I?”
After each point, Lu Xingye withdrew a finger.
Heh heh!
“Your two reasons are quite reasonable.”
“But I’m afraid you might have invested in the wrong people.”
“Although I am the legal heir of Kangda Group, Zhao Hua, along with other shareholders, has now sidelined my father’s trusted associates.”
“Now I can’t even get into the Kangda Group building, let alone inherit Kangda Group.”
After speaking.
Zhao Yinyun gave another self-deprecating laugh.
Hearing this, Lu Xingye knew his chance had come and quickly spoke:
“Perhaps I can help you.”
“You?” Zhao Yinyun was a little confused.
“Yes. I can help you reclaim your inheritance rights.” Lu Xingye nodded, answering earnestly.
The plot he wrote himself wouldn’t leave such a big loophole.
Although Zhao Hua, the Vice General Manager of Kangda Group, was all-powerful, Lu Xingye had set a fatal weakness for him.
That was —
Zhao Hua accidentally killed someone last year, and that person was still buried in his backyard.
With just this point, Lu Xingye could send Zhao Hua away, and he wouldn’t be able to come out, ever.
Knowing the plot.
Plus the script he wrote himself.
It was just that satisfying.
Satisfying to an inhumane degree.
Zhao Yinyun hadn't even spoken yet when her sister Zhao Lingmei’s voice came through from beside her.
“Can you really help us reclaim the inheritance rights of Kangda Group?”
...“Of course it’s true. Although your father is gone, he still left some arrangements within the group. As long as I use those arrangements, taking down Zhao Hua is simply too easy.”
“Then please help me reclaim the inheritance rights. As long as you can do it, whatever you want, I can give you, including my body.” Zhao Lingmei said coldly.
Her personality was extremely stubborn; she was unwilling to watch her father’s legacy be taken by outsiders like this.
Hiss!
Lu Xingye was startled by her words.
Selling herself so readily?
Did it have to be so exaggerated?
Although in the script’s design, Da Mimi had this stubborn personality, it wasn’t this strong!
He hesitated for a moment, then had to continue playing the upright gentleman, otherwise his persona would collapse.
“Miss, you exaggerate.”
“I can help you reclaim the inheritance rights, but I don’t want anything. If you really want to thank me, then cheer up soon.”
“Seeing you grow up happily is my greatest wish.”
Listening to Lu Xingye’s words, Zhao Lingmei’s heart was deeply touched. It seemed the taut string within her was melted by his gentleness.
Although she was somewhat touched, she didn't show it. Because she was inherently a more aloof person.
“How long will it take you to take down Zhao Hua?”
Lu Xingye heard this and immediately held up three fingers.
“Three months?” Zhao Lingmei frowned. Three months was a bit long.
“No.”
“Three years?” Zhao Lingmei’s frown deepened.
“Incorrect.”
Lu Xingye still shook his head, then softly uttered three words:
“It’s three days.”
In fact, when he said three days, it was a conservative estimate.
Because he had grasped Zhao Hua’s fatal weakness, eliminating him was a matter of an instant, and he didn't even need to appear in person.
However... Lu Xingye considered the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, so he allowed an extra two days.
