Chapter 46: Cunning

She didn’t know what she was thinking, her gaze seemed to fall on him all the time. Zhan Jingting drove the car, turning his head to look at her, “You’re really beautiful tonight.” It was a sincere compliment, he felt it from the moment he saw her get out of the car.

Banxia’s cheeks flushed slightly, she quickly retracted her gaze and looked ahead at the night, calming her nerves.

The two intelligent children sat in the back seat, they covered their mouths and looked at their Daddy with delight, hoping that Daddy would say something else!

Hurry up and confess! Their Mommy is so excellent, Daddy will definitely fall in love with her.

Back home, after dinner.

The children pulled on Butler Shen, clamoring for him to play with them, just to avoid bothering Daddy and Mommy, giving the two adults more time and space.

Lin Banxia looked serious, as if she had something on her mind.

“What are you more worried about?” Zhan Jingting’s voice was low and magnetic, in the living room, he handed her a glass of warm water, “Tell me, let’s see if it’s a big deal.”

Lin Banxia looked up at him, she knew he was just asking! She took the water glass, but she didn’t answer his question.

“First, I want to congratulate you.” The man’s voice was low and magnetic, “You can at least be appointed as the executive president of the Lin Group tomorrow, because as far as I know, you currently have the most shares.”

“I want to be the chairman of the company.” Banxia stated directly, “There’s no need to beat around the bush, just kick him out.”

Zhan Jingting smiled slightly at his wife’s boldness, he admired her very much, “Originally you wanted to wait a little longer, it was his attitude today that accelerated the development of this matter, wasn’t it?”

“Yes.” Lin Banxia didn’t want to indulge him anymore, “He often goes to my grandparents’ graves and pretends to be sincere, which makes me sick! That fire, he was the one who planned it, the more he wants, the more I won’t let him get anything! The sooner he loses it, the sooner he suffers.”

Currently, she must have some evidence of Yang Yiming’s crime, after all, Shaoheng has been helping her investigate.

Zhan Jingting will let Mu Bo arrange everything.

“Then get some rest early tonight.” He said to her, “To avoid being bothered by the children, I think you can take the initiative to sleep in my room.”

Lin Banxia’s eyes fell on him, “Although Young Master Zhan is a gentleman, but… he is also a normal man, we should not be too intimate for now.”

He stood up and said, “You already have children, and I’ve seen your body, you’re really being too polite.” Then he walked towards the yard.

Lin Banxia’s eyelashes fluttered, she couldn’t understand what he meant.

Would he not help her tomorrow because of her refusal?

Under the night sky, Butler Shen was in the yard playing football with the children, the sound of laughter and chasing, the sight of agile figures, the high-flying football.

This reminded him of the long scar on Banxia’s abdomen.

Six years have passed, and it’s still so obvious. There must have been a lot of blood shed back then.

Lin Banxia couldn’t predict the impact of tomorrow’s news, and the Lin Group’s shareholder meeting tomorrow was also a major event.

She felt inexplicably pressured tonight. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong.

At night, in Yang Eiming’s dilapidated apartment, even the lights seemed dim, adding to the atmosphere.

Xie Yueru felt his face was particularly bad the moment he entered, as if he had been angered. She hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Did you get into trouble at the Jiang family?”

“I saw Lin Banxia and Zhan Jingting, and their children. Two boys, about six or seven years old, look exactly like Zhan Jingting.” His brows furrowed, and a wave of panic washed over him.

Xie Yueru’s face turned pale, and she realized the seriousness of the situation. Yiyao’s photos were real. “Did the shares… go to Lin Banxia?”

The couple had already confirmed that Zhan Jingting was helping Lin Banxia! He had set up such a huge scheme.

From the crack of the open door, Lin Yiyao, wearing her pajamas, quietly eavesdropped on her parents’ conversation.

She saw her father slumped in the sofa, his face creased with worry under the dim light. Seeing him sigh again and again, she felt a pang of resentment. Her fists clenched, wishing she could kill Lin Banxia!

“Tomorrow is the shareholder meeting…” Xie Yueru suggested, “We must postpone it. We need time to respond.”

Yang Eiming thought the same, but couldn’t find a reason to postpone it. The meeting was decided by the board of directors, and everyone was prepared.

“Eiming, don’t you have a doctor friend? Ask him to write a medical record, saying you have a contagious disease, and you shouldn’t go to the company recently.”

The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa raised his eyes, and when he met his wife’s gaze, he agreed with her suggestion, even though he wasn’t sure about the consequences.

Buying time would give them a chance to turn the tables.

He still had time to win over people, get more shares, or… find another powerful backer.

Just then, Zhan Jingting received a call.

In the courtyard, he said softly, “Okay, I understand.” Then he hung up the phone and walked towards the living room.

He knocked on Lin Banxia’s bedroom door. She had just finished showering and was coming out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe and drying her wet hair with a towel.

“Coming, coming.” Thinking it was the children, she opened the door without any preparation, only to find Zhan Jingting standing outside.

Seeing her after her bath, he was slightly stunned. The scent of water lilies, mixed with a faint fragrance of herbal medicine, wafted towards him.

Lin Banxia, whose toes were curled inside her white slippers, tried to hide her embarrassment, “What’s wrong?” The man looked inside, blocking her way, making her blood rush to her head. So she simply let go of the door.

She turned and walked inside.

Xie Yueru entered, gently closing the door behind him. He looked around, “Are you settling in alright?” He began with a show of concern.

“It’s good.” The girl wiped her hair, turning back to ask him, “What do you need?”

“Yang Yiming has a contagious disease. I heard it’s quite serious, and he’ll need to be quarantined in the hospital for the next few days. So…”

Lin Banxia smiled wryly, “So tomorrow’s shareholder meeting can’t be held as scheduled?”

The man nodded.

Besides the other board members, only the two of them knew that the cunning old fox was just trying to buy time.

Lin Banxia was not a person who was easily rushed. She spoke lightly, “That’s fine. In this world, only time is equal. He wants to give himself time to strategize, and it also gives me time.”

This time, she would not only kick him out of Lin’s, but she would also see him behind bars!

Xie Yueru stood tall and straight, his gaze fixed on her, his deep eyes filled with seriousness, “If you need any help, just ask. You don’t need to return the favor, consider it a thank you for raising your child alone for six years.”

“I’ve always had a question.” Lin Banxia put down the towel, her eyes looking up at him, “Marriage is a major life event, especially for someone of your status. You rashly got a marriage license with me, didn’t you need your family’s consent? What do your parents think?”

At the mention of his parents, 战京霆’s expression changed slightly. His deep eyes were filled with a strong sense of “keep out,” and he seemed reluctant to talk about this heavy topic.

So he just gave her a deep look before turning and leaving.

Even after hearing the door close, Lin Banxia was still a little surprised. How come… it’s like a forbidden word? Can’t mention it?

Could it be that he doesn’t have parents?

Or maybe, his relationship with his parents is bad?
