"I want your shares of Lin Yuan Group."
Pei Chengyang narrowed his eyes and stared at the beautiful woman in front of him. After a while, he smiled slowly.
"Your so-called sincerity is to protect your position in the name of Wanwan."
"Do I need to keep my position with your shares?" Lin Anran looked at him with a smile and said calmly.
"You should know clearly who owns the Lin Yuan Group. I want your shares just to make me have less trouble when cleaning up family conflicts. By the way, I want to drive a wedge between you and your fiancée."
"Oh?" Pei Chengyang raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Lin Anran, it seems that you always care about my relationship with other women. At that time, you successfully stopped me from dating Wanwan, and now you are trying to alienate me from your cousin. If Wanwan hadn't said that you already had a crush on someone, I would even doubt that you have fallen in love with me."
Lin Anran squinted her eyes and said irritably, "Pei Chengyang, are you too narcissistic? I'm not interested in you!"
She had been hiding her feelings very well, especially after Song Wanwan and Pei Chengyang fell in love, and she deliberately kept a distance from him. She was sure that in this world, no one knew her feelings of the person in front of her. However, at this moment, when she heard his low voice saying the words "in love with me", she could not help but panic.
Staggering her eyes, Lin Anran looked down at her watch and said, "The meeting is about to begin. If you want to know where Wanwan is, transfer your shares of Lin Yuan Group to me."
With a bigger smile on his face, Pei Chengyang said unhurriedly, "If I'm not wrong, your grandmother has given her shares to your eldest uncle. Without my support, I'm afraid the owner of the Lin Yuan Group will change."
He looked directly at her, his eyes cold.
"So, Lin Anran, you are not qualified to bargain with me now. You even have to pay for your stupid behavior."
Stupid behavior? Well, to blame me for being dumped.
She almost blurted it out, but Lin Anran held it back. She had to take good care of her parents' painstaking efforts. She must endure it.
At that time, Song Wanwan and Pei Chengyang loved each other so much that the two of them wanted to get the marriage license on impulse. However, Lin Anran objected and persuaded her to think twice before she took action. Later, Song Wanwan calmed down and finally refused Pei Chengyang's proposal. And this also caused a complete enmity between Lin Anran and Pei Chengyang.
Now that the previous incident was brought up again by Pei Chengyang, he was determined. Lin Anran knew that if he didn't see Song Wanwan, she would never get the shares in his hands.
"Wanwan went to a remote village to be a medical volunteer. I can take you to her. Otherwise, I will tell you as soon as she comes back."
"A medical volunteer?"
Pei Chengyang showed an expression of surprise, and then glared at Lin Anran, "She is not in good health. How can she go to the mountain area? You know Wanwan's condition, why don't you stop her?"
Lin Anran retorted impolitely, "She is an adult and knows how to take care of herself. No one should restrain her in the name of love."
His handsome eyebrows frowned, Pei Chengyang suppressed his displeasure and ordered, "Call her now. I want to hear her voice."
Lin Anran had to call Song Wanwan, but her phone was turned off several times in a row. Lin Anran shook her phone and explained to Pei Chengyang, "The signal there is bad, and I often can't get through. If you don't believe me, come with me and bring her back."
"Okay, let's go now." Pei Chengyang said firmly.
"Now?"
Seeing that he couldn't wait, Lin Anran was stunned for a while. Then she said in a businesslike manner, "The board meeting is about to be held. At least I arrange it before I go with you."
Saying, she seemed to think of something and continued, "Speaking of it, you haven't attended the board meeting of Lin Yuan Group yet. You are also one of the shareholders. Since you are here, why don't you attend it together? By the way, helping me ask the chairman, your future father-in-law, for a leave of absence."
Seeming to have seen through Lin Anran's mind, Pei Chengyang chuckled and said, "Rather than using me to deal with those old guys, you'd better think about how to persuade Wanwan to marry me when you see her. Now the situation is your consequence. If you won't set it right, I won't save you."
Hearing this, Lin Anran felt a little headache. Things were different now. Even if she agreed, Wanwan would not agree.
While she was thinking, Gao Ze came to remind her that the board meeting was about to be held, so she had to stop thinking and took Pei Chengyang to the meeting room.
The meeting room was quiet. Lin Guohong knew nothing about Pei Chengyang's arrival. When he heard the sound of high heels hitting the floor in the corridor, he showed a smug smile on his face. 'It's different to ally with the Pei family. A piece of news can make several shareholders who originally supported Lin Anran change sides. It seems that even God will help me to take over Lin Yuan Group totally this time.'
Lin Guohong's smile froze when he saw the man.
"Chengyang, what are you doing here?"
After a moment of surprise, Lin Guohong hurriedly stood up and walked up to them. "I can handle such a small matter of Lin Yuan Group. I'm sorry to bother you to come in person."
As Lin Guohong spoke, he led Pei Chengyang to the chair of the president and motioned him to sit down.
…
Standing in the middle of the room, Pei Chengyang didn't answer, but said lightly, "I'm not here for business, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Guohong interrupted him with a smile, "I have no objection to your marriage with Weiwei. If you need anything, just tell uncle."
Seeing Lin Guohong's flattering look, Lin Anran felt ashamed. Even though they were in deep trouble, they were both surnamed Lin. She didn't want others to look down upon them, so she had to say, "It's my private affair. I have to leave Lo City with Mr. Pei for a few days. I'm afraid that uncle won't let me go, so I especially ask Mr. Pei to ask for a leave for me."
Lin Anran said, smiling provocatively to Pei Chengyang.
In the eyes of others, this scene was like a couple's expression. For a moment, everyone in the meeting room had different expressions, as if they had seen a shocking secret.
Lin Guohong's face darkened. He looked back and forth between Lin Anran and Pei Chengyang, without saying anything.
Pei Chengyang didn't like Lin Guohong at all. He didn't even want to explain. He glanced around and said, "If all shareholders have no objection, Ms. Lin and I will leave, excuse me."
After saying that, Pei Chengyang left without looking back, leaving the shareholders looking at each other surprisingly. They were glad that they didn't stand in the line rashly today.
After Lin Anran left with Pei Chengyang, the two went straight to the airport. She asked Gao Ze to book the nearest flight to Y City. After arriving at the airport, Lin Anran drove the off-road vehicle she rented at the airport towards the final destination, South River Village.
