Tokyo Imperial Palace.
In His Majesty Ling Lai's study.
She sat upright in her wheelchair and made tea with graceful movements. Opposite him, sat a casually dressed woman. Pretty face, good temperament. One look at her and you can tell she is an extraordinary woman.
Who is this woman
She is none other than Shang Yao, the daughter of Shang Jingtian, the second oldest child in ten thousand years.
During this time, she traveled to several cities. Just to relax, when she received Yan Hong's reminder, she rushed to Tokyo as soon as possible.
The tea is sweet and delicious, and the snacks on the table are also very exquisite. Shang Yao drank tea absentmindedly, not looking very interested.
"What's wrong?" His Majesty Ling Lai took a sip of tea and smiled. "Want to go home?"
"I don't dare to think so." Shang Yao raised his eyes and smiled, pursed his lips and asked. "Your Majesty, do you think my father will let me go if I go back now?"
"But if you don't go back, you will force him to make suggestions." His Majesty Ling Lai raised his eyebrows slightly. "You know his plan very well. He will never be content with others. And your 10 billion funds will influence his overall plan."
"That's my money." Shang Yao slowly put down the tea cup. "Grandpa gave it to me. He has no right to use it."
"It's not important." His Majesty Ling Lai shook his head gently. "People only know that as a daughter, you went against your father's wishes. You would rather collude with outsiders to eat into the family funds than leave it to your father to take care of it."
"I no longer care about worldly opinions." Shang Yao sighed softly. "Otherwise, how could I have been willing to be a straw bag?"
"The history of this world is often written by the strong. When I reach the top, who will care about the mistakes I made back then? Not to mention -" Shang Yao said every word. "I don't feel like I did anything wrong."
His Majesty Ling Lai fell silent and sipped tea slowly.
Shang Yao glanced at His Majesty Ling Lai's legs from the corner of his eye and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty - when can you stand up?"
"Who knows." His Majesty Ling Lai smiled slightly, seeming to be open-minded. "I have been undergoing a set of physical therapy recently, and the effect is much better than before. At least, I can feel the existence of these legs."
"That's good." Shang Yao nodded lightly and said very solemnly. "One day, you will stand up."
"I'd like to lend you some good words." His Majesty Ling Lai said with a smile. "If you don't want to go back for the time being, then stay here with me. At least with me here, Shang Jingtian shouldn't have the guts to do anything to you."
"That's what I meant." Shang Yao said easily. "Other places may not be able to protect me."
His Majesty Ling Lai smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case." After a brief pause, His Majesty Ling Lai continued. "If you stay with Boss Xiao, he can guarantee your safety."
"Him?" When Xiao Zheng was mentioned, Shang Yao's face was slightly solemn and a little melancholy. "I don't dare to stay with him..."
When His Majesty Ling Lai heard this, he just fell into silence.
"Where is your Majesty?" Shang Yao raised his eyes and asked. "You have sacrificed a lot for him over the years. Now, even these legs - have you ever regretted it?"
"No." His Majesty Ling Lai picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Meeting him is the only blessing in my life."
…
Xiao Zhengting is worried about Shang Yao's situation.
She is just a woman with brains and skills, but she does not have strong enough physical fitness. Once Shang Jingtian goes berserk, he no longer cares about the father-daughter relationship. No one can predict what he will do.
And just like the answer he came up with after discussing with Linghu Zhu. Shang Jingtian wants to get back the 10 billion, or let Shang Yao ask for it. Or, let Shang Yao never speak, and let him, the father, ask for it.
These are the only two ways.
The first way is obviously impossible to work.
There is only one answer.
Kill Shang Yao!
Ding ding ding.
An overseas call came into the mobile phone. Xiao Zheng answered the call and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window: "Hello, Your Majesty."
It was Ling Lai calling.
Xiao Zheng remembered that His Majesty was still a classmate and old friend of Shang Yao.
"I'm here, Boss Xiao, don't worry." As soon as the call was connected, His Majesty Ling Lai dismissed Xiao Zheng's concerns.
"I'm causing trouble for you." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, feeling completely relieved.
With His Majesty Ling Lai here, no matter how daring he, Shang Jingtian, would be, he would never dare to be so presumptuous.
You know, the Zhao family took action because there was instability within the palace. And there are people who support him in doing so. It's a good idea.
But now, His Majesty Ling Lai has full control over the royal family. Even the cabinet did not dare to go beyond this.
Under such a situation, would Shang Jingtian dare to do anything too extreme
"Boss Xiao, are you saying this to thank me for Shang Yao?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked rather cunningly.
"—" Xiao Zheng was stunned, with some fluctuations in his heart. "I remembered. Your Majesty himself is a classmate of Shang Yao. It is natural to help each other."
"Boss Xiao's eloquence is still so outstanding." His Majesty Ling Lai smiled and said. "I can convey two words to Shang Yao this time. First, Boss Xiao can use the funds with confidence and boldness. She cannot withdraw the capital for any reason. Second, she will stay in the palace temporarily and treat it as a companion. Stay with me. It's very lonely in the deep palace and cold courtyard."
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, but speechless.
Is it Shang Yao who is lonely, or His Majesty Ling Lai
There are some topics that Xiao Zheng dare not touch. His peach blossom luck turned into a peach blossom disaster, and he was walking on thin ice and was in a dilemma.
After finishing the conversation with His Majesty Ling Lai, Xiao Zheng gathered his mood and got into work mode.
Overseas markets are temporarily back on track. Moreover, the advertising campaign has pushed the sales of the Phantom series to a new peak. After receiving large amounts of investment, large cultural and entertainment projects seem to have a fully emphasized international scope. Linghuzhu even held a grand global star ceremony. Spread the grand spectacle of great entertainment all over the world.
Here, some of the channel resources under ENN have also made great efforts. Soon, Big Entertainment became a hot topic in China. The blockbusters that Linghu Zhu has been preparing for a long time are also being launched one after another. The media and onlookers were repeatedly stunned. Its influence has even penetrated overseas and gained momentum.
But just as good news came one after another, Xiao Zheng received bad news from the old monk.
Under Lin Laoyao's fierce offensive, the mother-in-law seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. The reason is simply because there is a problem with the capital chain.
Xiao Zheng had already predicted this. And in terms of time, the mother-in-law lasted three months longer than expected.
It's an incredible performance.
"Azheng, I have an immature idea." Bai Wuxia said hesitantly. "If you Xinao have sufficient funds, can you use some to help your mother-in-law tide over the difficulties?"
