Chapter 122: Is the eldest young master of the Wen family really this stingy?

“Xiwei! Let’s just go.”
Lin Tingting looked at Tang Xiwei’s resentful face and supported her as they made their way to the parking lot. Assistant Bao had driven over to pick them up.

As soon as Tang Xiwei got into the car, sharp pain shot through her abdomen.

Although Ye Linqian hadn’t gone all out, Tang Xiwei—usually so delicate and frail, unable to lift her hands or carry anything—was completely defenseless against that punch. The pain was so intense tears welled up in her eyes.

“Wah! That violent woman, is she even human? How could she hit so hard!”

Cold sweat and tears streamed down Tang Xiwei’s face. Aside from the time Wen Xiu had furiously beaten her, she had never suffered such a serious injury before.

“Xiwei, I think we should take you to the hospital.”

“Wait a moment! I need to make a call first!”

Enduring the pain, Tang Xiwei grabbed her phone and dialed Wen Shao’s number.

“Hello?”

“Hello, Young Master. I have important information to report to you.”

On the other end, Wen Shao was speaking on speakerphone, holding a brush pen as he slowly wrote on rice paper at his desk.

“Oh? Go on.”

“I just encountered Ye family’s eldest daughter, Ye Linna. We had a conflict.”

“A conflict?”

Wen Shao’s voice remained smooth and elegant, but a faint chill crept into his tone.

It was clearly a reprimand, questioning why Tang Xiwei didn’t follow orders and ended up clashing with Ye Linna.

“Young Master, please don’t be angry.”

“We merely ran into each other by chance, and it was Ye Linna’s side that took the initiative.”

Wen Shao raised an eyebrow slightly but didn’t stop writing.

“Are you joking with me? The illustrious Miss Ye wouldn’t lower herself to attack someone as insignificant as you without cause.”

Hearing the word “insignificant,” Tang Xiwei felt as if her heart had been struck hard.

Come on, I’m officially your woman, at least say something nice! Doesn’t it hurt to comfort me a little?

But she dared not voice these thoughts. Wen Shao was nothing like Wen Xiu; he was not someone to be trifled with. Angering him could make her vanish without a trace.

“Young Master, actually... it’s because of what I did to Chen Luo before that Ye Linna harbors great hostility toward me.”

“When we unexpectedly met in the elevator, her sister suddenly punched me. It still hurts now.”

“But as long as I can complete your mission, I can endure this pain.”

Wen Shao’s ears filtered out Tang Xiwei’s sweet words and caught the key point.

“Oh? So Ye Linna really has a crush on me, her future brother-in-law?”

Wen Shao’s interest was piqued, even though he had heard before that Ye Linna liked Chen Luo.

He had initially thought Ye Linna was deliberately using Chen Luo to provoke his sister Wen Wan.

But unexpectedly, the business empress of the capital, who had never shown affection to any man, had truly fallen for Chen Luo.

Otherwise, why would she attack Tang Xiwei?

“Yes, Young Master. I believe this can be exploited.”

“According to the intelligence, Wen Wan and Ye Linna are about to engage in a major showdown in the education sector. If we can use this to make them both suffer losses, that would be ideal. Then we can seize the opportunity to step in and reap the rewards.”

After saying this, Wen Shao fell silent. Tang Xiwei feared she had misspoken and hurriedly added,

“I also received news that Chen Luo will visit Ye Linna’s company tomorrow. Perhaps we can use this angle to devise a plan.”

She waited anxiously for Wen Shao’s reply, which took over a minute.

“Now, I’m giving you an order.”

“Yes, Young Master, please command.”

“When Chen Luo visits tomorrow, activate our pawn in Hangzhou to strike at Ye family’s education business. Target one company first. The blow doesn’t need to be heavy, but it must create a big stir!”

“Yes! Understood, Young Master!”

Tang Xiwei was thrilled at the idea of attacking Ye Linna, but she restrained her excitement and feigned weakness.

“Young Master, my stomach really hurts right now...”

She was about to act coy, hoping to get Wen Shao to care more and perhaps send her some extra spending money.

“Beep beep beep.”

The busy tone sounded, and Tang Xiwei almost threw her phone in anger.

I’m doing things for you, and I’m hurt, yet you don’t even respond! A simple red envelope would’ve sufficed!

Is the Wen family’s eldest son really that stingy?

Meanwhile, far away in the capital, Wen Shao set down his brush and looked at the four characters he had just written:

“Mastermind Strategy.”

“Ye Linna, you won’t fall for such an obvious delaying tactic, will you?”

“I’ll remind you, lest you be blinded by temptation.”

He murmured softly, turning toward the south.

“My dear sister, if you can’t handle Ye Linna, you’re not qualified to compete with me.”

...

The next day, Hangzhou, Ye Group.

“Someone! Change the tea for me! Bring me the highest-grade tea you have!”

“And you, hurry up and check if all the senior executives have arrived!”

“If anyone is late or leaves early today, HR will fire them immediately!”

Ye Linna kept issuing orders from her office, the entire group bustling with activity.

Beside her, Ye Linqian—rarely seen in such formal attire—watched her anxious sister with a bitter smile.

“Sis, please don’t be so nervous.”

“When the head of the Mo family, one of the top three families, visited last year, you weren’t this flustered!”

“Huh? Really?”

Ye Linna was indeed tense, worried something might go wrong and embarrass her in front of Chen Luo.

Though she kept reminding herself that Chen Luo was now her enemy, and this meeting was likely a reconnaissance mission.

Still, her heart betrayed her with unease.

She couldn’t deny that Chen Luo’s declaration of war over the phone had a deep impact on her.

She had never wanted to worsen things with Chen Luo and had originally planned to defeat Wen Wan and win Chen Luo over.

But her sister’s impulsive act had truly angered Chen Luo.

Despite her later apology, Chen Luo had clearly not accepted it.

So today, she hoped to ease tensions through this meeting and leave some room for the future.

“Alright, sis, calm down.”

“I’ll personally apologize to Chen Luo later, so you won’t be embarrassed.”

Ye Linqian, unusually conciliatory, was genuinely worried about her sister.

As they spoke, an assistant knocked on the door.

“Chairwoman, Vice President Chen Luo from Wanluo Company has arrived downstairs.”
