Noticing something, his lips curved into a beautiful arc, adding a hint of wickedness to his cold yet perfect face. Sensing her gaze, his cold eyes swept towards her.
The smile on his lips indicated he was in a good mood, but his words remained icy: “Wondering how to deal with Tong Corporation’s current crisis?”
Putting down the newspaper and sipping his coffee, he lowered his eyelids, long eyelashes hiding the light in his eyes. “Actually, it’s simple. If your father invests that ST fund into Tong Corporation, everything will be resolved. While I’m not interested in acquiring Tong Corporation, others might be. If he acts quickly enough, he can ensure Tong Corporation isn’t taken over.”
“Aunt?” Di Xihuang rose to greet her but hesitated when he remembered Ou Xueman was still present.
“They saw me at the airport and followed my car here,” Di Ying’s cold voice surprisingly carried a hint of anticipation, causing Di Xihuang’s brow to furrow.
“More than one person?” His sinister eyes barely showed a trace of softness. After a moment of silence, he said, “Tina, let them come in.”
Ou Xueman nervously looked towards the entrance, spotting Di Xihuang standing before her. He ordered, “Go to your room.”
She knew arguing would be futile, so she glared silently and went upstairs.
Upon entering her room, she encountered Tina’s professional smile. “Madam, do you need something?”
“I want to go out for some fresh air,” Ou Xueman replied.
“I’m sorry, Madam, but the master has instructed that you remain in your room,” Tina said apologetically.
Fuming, Ou Xueman slammed the door, her hands clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white. She had to see Tong Baichuan.
Both Di Xihuang and Di Ying seemed to have an hidden connection with Tong Baichuan. Meeting him directly might resolve the situation and save the Tong family from danger. But Di Xihuang clearly wanted to prevent her from discovering their connections.
As she paced the room, a warm breeze flowed through the half-open European glass door leading to the balcony. She noticed the garden outside, where Old Li was trimming flowers, and suddenly had an idea.
They would likely be in Di Xihuang’s study, accessible from the balcony using the ladder.
