The CEO's Woman Chapter 272 Distraugh

Chapter 272 Distraugh

Jiang Yue was working on her laptop while Mr. Lu grudgingly signed all the necessary doc.u.ments for the acquisition of half of his shares.

It was another successful transaction.

Now, she could focus on Jiang Mian. That woman had been causing her nothing, but an annoyance all this time.

*Message Sent*

She then exited of her email page and looked at Mr. Lu in front of her. "Done?"

In response, Mr. Lu nodded, without saying another word. What else could he say? He shouldn't have just trusted that Li Qiang and went along with his plans. Now, he lost half of his family's shares and was kicked out of the board of directors. Just how embarra.s.sing was this situation? He was now nothing, but a laughing stock.

"Good. I won't see you off." Jiang Yue said with a grin. "Shen Rong?" she pressed a b.u.t.ton on the office phone, as she watched Mr.Lu walk out of her office.

She was definitely in a good mood.

"Litte Yue?" Shen Rong walked inside Jiang Yue's office. "Bei Ye asked me to give this to you. He asked me to tell you that this is the result." She said as she pa.s.sed Jiang Yue the file folder given by Bei Ye.

Jiang Yue froze the moment she heard Shen Rong's words. It should be the result of the DNA test. "Thank you," she answered, before accepting it.

"Also, I received a total of seven calls from different companies and countries, asking to schedule a meeting with you." Shen Rong said. "They want to know more about the Artificial Intelligence System that you are creating."

"Hmmm... Got it. Leak the news to the TV stations that I am now developing a system, which will make the programming process automatic and lessen the tedious amount of work for our programmers. I want everyone to know that w.a.n.g Empire is stable and will continue improving its systems."

"Okay... By the way. Welcome back!" Shen Rong smiled at her.

The two spent some time talking about what had happened with Wu Minxia, as well as the fact that she died right after she arrived at the police station. It was concluded that she had committed suicide, because of what she had done. Of course, Jiang Yue knew that the truth was far from that. She had already warned Wu Minxia about Li Qiang. She could only hope that the latter was able to say goodbye to her father.

....

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian was seething. No, she was trembling, as she bit her lips, trying to calm herself.

The content of the recording that she had received was making her so distraught that she couldn't even shed a tear.

"Why? TELL ME WHY?!" she heard her mother's voice after what seemed to be the sound of a gunshot.

"That bullet was for your stupidity." Li Qiang answered on the recording.

'Stupidity' that's right. Li Qiang had always loved to use that word, even when talking to her.

"You... you can't kill me. I... am still... the mother of your daughter...Please don't kill me." At this point, Jiang Mian already couldn't stop the tears in her eyes when she heard her mother begging. Did Li Qiang really kill her mother?

"Daughter? Do you really think that I would have a dumb daughter like that? You keep on saying that she is my daughter. But do you even remember what has happened that night? Indeed, your daughter must have inherited her stupidity from you."

Jiang Mian almost fainted when she heard Li Qiang's answer. So, she was not his daughter after all?

She heard her mother ask before Li Qiang said, "How should I know? I wasn't even with you that night."

And just like that, Jiang Mian's world seemed to explode. So, Li Qiang was not her father? Was he using her all this time? No... that's impossible. What kind of human could do those things to someone like her?

"Let me tell you one thing, though. Your death will contribute to Jiang Yue's distraction. Be happy. It will not be for naught. Don't worry about that equally stupid daughter of yours. Once she serves her purpose, she will follow you. Let's just hope, she is a little smarter than you. Or else, she will end up worse than you."

"Goodbye baby girl. It was nice playing with you."

Then, Jiang Mian heard another gunshot, before there was total silence.

After a short silence, she heard Li Qiang talk to someone.

"What are we going to do with the body, Young Master?"

"Burn it. Burn everything in this area."

She couldn't help but wonder if the recording was true. Did Li Qiang really kill her mother, then made her believe it was Jiang Yue?

She wiped away her tears and checked the email again. Though she did not recognize the sender, it was clearly from Jiang Yue. Was this her way of getting back at her? Making her hear Lu s.h.i.+'s last moments was akin to a knife piercing through her heart. Making her slowly bleed, painfully. This pain would surely last long, longer, than her hatred towards Jiang Yue.

Hatred? Why did she even hate Jiang Yue so much? Right, she was jealous. She wanted what was hers. Afterward, she was angry at her for killing Lu s.h.i.+. Now, she even had more reason to hate Jiang Yue. However, what if Li Qiang was just using her for his own gain? What if he was just fueling her hatred, which made it easier to manipulate her?

Jiang Mian clenched her hands when she thought of how Li Qiang had used her all these years. Then, she thought about how everything had started. Right, all of this had started because Jiang Yue existed.

Without Jiang Yue, she would have never felt this kind of jealousy. Without Jiang Yue, her mother wouldn't have died. Without Jiang Yue, Li Qiang wouldn;t have been able to use her like a rag. Without Jiang Yue, she would have been happy now.

That's right. Everything was Jiang Yue's fault. Her fault!

Her existence alone was enough for Jiang Mian to suffer. She needed to make Jiang Yue feel what she was feeling right now. She needed Jiang Yue to cry and break down in front of her.

The thought of making Jiang Yue break down, eventually made her jolt up. She checked her schedule on her phone and smiled evilly.

She was going to meet with w.a.n.g Ruo tomorrow. In fact, Li Qiang had already agreed to let them eat in a restaurant, outside of this island, with the condition of Li Qiang's people accompanying them.

Finally, w.a.n.g Ruo would leave this island tomorrow. Finally, she would have the chance to kill her.
