The Villain's Wife 592 KarmaThe topic of Yu Yanwan's disappearance slowly died down. It has been a few days since her husband reported her missing and until now the police didn't find any traces of her location.
The absence of proof that someone took Yu Yanwan only made media conclude that she ran away. And she shamelessly took the money from her father's company.
"President, Mr. Beau is already on his way for the shareholder's meeting," Yang Mi said. After Old Man Yu's funeral, the contents of his will became the focus of everyone in the business industry. After all, the fact that he gave his company to Lily is very controversial.
The old man has two sons that are working in his company. Why give it to someone that he just met a couple of weeks ago? The assumptions that the old man owe Lily and her company was also part of this rumor.
Because of this, the stock price of Yu Corp instantly went down. It wasn't really surprising. This is normal if an important figure in the company passed. Now that question is… will they be able to get back on their feet now that the CEO Yu Helong also resigned?
"Good," Lily responded. They are on their way to the shareholder's meeting with the executives from the Yu Corp. "How about Yu Helong? Is he coming?"
"He is also on his way."
"Good." Lily nodded. Lily does not like to become a part of Yu Corp. This was something that does not interest her at all. This was also the reason why she did not like to fight with Yu Helong and Yu Tingye about the shares.
What she did not expect is for them to give up the fight before it even started.
After knowing that she indeed inherited the shares, Lily was originally planning to sell it to the brothers. After all, this company belongs to them in the first place.
However, since the prices went down, Lily immediately changed her plan. If she wanted to profit from these shares, then she needed the company to recover. And for that, she needed to meet everyone, including the 'retired' CEO Yu Helong.
After a few more minutes, Lily arrived in the Yu Corp's office and went to meet the major shareholders of the company.
These men and women were already familiar with Lily and her achievements. Because of this, her plans didn't meet any objections. Contrary to Lily's expectations, everyone supported her decision to rehire Yu Helong and have him cooperate with Mr. Beau for the changes that Lily wanted in the company.
The only thing that Lily noted in the meeting is Yu Jing's appearance. The man just sat with his father without saying anything. However, after the meeting concluded, he and his father approached Lily.
"Alright," Lily smiled and nodded. Yu Jing and his father invited her to Yu Helong's office for a private conversation. She and Yang Mi followed them to the topmost floor of the building.
"Is there something that you want to ask?" she asked the moment she sat down in the plush sofa. "I don't have much time as I needed to have lunch with my husband. So… I am in a hurry."
"It was about my sister." Yu Helong uttered. "Is she still alive?"
"I don't know." Lily shrugged. "Are you planning to find her?"
"No. I just wanted to make sure that I'm not crazy." Yu Helong said as he sat opposite to Lily. He then let out a sigh. Maybe Lily didn't really know if his sister is still alive. But… Lily also never said that she is not involved in Yu Yanwan's disappearance.
This only confirmed his earlier suspicions. "Thank you for not making it hard for everyone." Yu Helong added. "I hope that we can work together in the future."
"Hmmm." Lily nodded. "Mr. Beau will be in touch with you." She then shifted her gaze towards Yu Jing. "I am assuming that you are training him for the position?" Yu Jing's uncomfortable expression instantly made Lily lift an eyebrow.
Is he afraid of her? She wondered.
"I am here because… I want to invite you to my wedding." Yu Jing said. While Qiaoqiao was not comfortable in seeing Lily in their wedding, Yu Helong and Jiang Ruo were pretty insistent about this matter. "Two months from now. in Shanghai."
"Qiaoqiao already announced her retirement from showbiz right?" Lily confirmed. She heard Yang Mi mentioned that Qiaoqiao is already living with Yu Jing. It seems that Yu Jing's plan to put Qiaoqiao in a cage finally paid off.
"Yes. We agreed that she would stay at home after our marriage. Just like my mother." Yu Jing forced a smile. "We will send the invitations a few days from now."
"Well… congratulations! Yang Mi… please check out my schedule. And prepare a generous gift for the couple." Lily said, her eyes crinkled. Living with a man that you don't love is enough punishment for someone. However, living with a manipulative and emotionally abusive man like Yu Jing is a different case.
Lily could not imagine the amount of emotional torture that Qiaoqiao will receive in this marriage. Of course, this does not involve Lily at all. She knew that Yu Jing is a smart man and there is no way that he will allow Qiaoqiao to try to scheme against Lily anymore.
She met Yu Jing's eyes as she gave him a knowing smile. Qiaoqiao only brought this to herself. This is her own Karma. In response, Yu Jing avoided Lily's gaze and started talking about the wedding and the venue.
Yu Jing was originally planning to question the will that his grandfather left.
However, after his father told him that his aunt's disappearance might be connected to Lily and Zhou Jingren, Yu Jing instantly changed his mind. To him, the battle is not worth it at all.
Yu Jing could give his best and scheme against them. He could contact a few of the influential people that he knew, but even then… he knew that he will not win. There is no way that he will.
