Chapter 257 - STALLING (1/2)

Chu Ling looked at Song Lili with disbelief. She had never seen such a greedy person, hoping to climb to the top with a single hop. Her face became incredibly ugly once again as she looked down on her former self who had doted on the snake.

”Song Lili, how can you make such a demand? Have I not been good to you?” Chu Ling asked again with pain in her heart. ​​

It was difficult for her to understand even though things had progressed to this stage.

”Good to me? How have you been good to me?” Song Lili raised her voice. ”If you had been good to me, I would be married to Zhong Feng right now. He would not be with that useless woman.”

”You cannot force feelings, Song Lili. You know that Feng'er has no feelings for you.” Chu Ling explained.

”Feelings? Why do feelings matter? In this upper class, no one marries out of love. It is always about finding a suitable arrangement. And no one was more suitable than me. If you cared about me, you would have made the right call.” Song Lili laughed coldly.

They would not be here if Chu Ling had not indulged the whims of her son.

”Would your parents be happy to see you acting like this? They have always wanted you to grow up to be a good person.”

”Don't talk about them.” Song Lili said coldly. ”We have already broken up all relations.”

Chu Ling's eyes flickered when she heard the new information. She had not heard about such a matter taking place. She had spoken with Song Lili's mother a couple of months ago, but things seemed to be alright.

Now, hearing Song Lili's words, her interest rose. She needed to learn more about it. Perhaps it was something that they could use against her.

”Still, I will not give you fifteen per cent of Zhong Industries. Even one per cent would be too much.” She finally said.

Before Song Lili could retort as she intended, the sunroom door opened, and three guards entered behind the butler. They seized Song Lili by the arms and took her bag from her in case she had anything dangerous. Song Lili did not care.

”I knew you were stalling, but it doesn't matter.” She smiled. ”The decision is Zhong Feng's. Even if you destroy the evidence in my bag, I still have some backups.”

Chu Ling levelled her angry gaze at the evil woman before turning to the guards. ”Hold her until we are ready to deal with her.”

Song Lili did not resist as her upper arms were grasped by two guards, and she was ushered out of the sunroom. She did not care as long as she got what she wanted.

Chu Ling did not know that Song Lili had not given up Zhong Feng, she was just choosing to retreat for the moment. In her mind, as long as she got shares in Zhong Industries, she would be able to participate in the daily operations of the business.
