“What’s going on in the middle of the night?” The old man shouted impatiently. With the help of the housekeeper, he came out. The old-fashioned Mr. Han’s spirit was not diminished by age and his old eyes were full of anger.
Han Lin’s mother immediately turned around when she heard Mr. Han’s displeased voice. With a sad face, she said, “Father-in-law, please save Han Xian.”
“Then what did that bastard do this time?” Mr. Han stomped his walking stick firm on the ground hard. He was clearly upset.
Even Han Lin’s mother, who was used to seeing the old man’s imposing manner, couldn’t help trembling. However, Shang Jinshen was expressionless and calmly sat on the sofa. When he saw the old man, he said lightly, “Grandpa.”
The old man glanced at him and said grumpily, “Well aren’t you showing your filial heart by causing a scene in my house in the middle of the night.” The old man’s words were full of displeasure. In his opinion, it was just a small thing. How could it be worth disturbing him?
Shang Jinshen didn’t care and said, “It’s my fault for disturbing grandpa, but I can’t stand it when someone climbs over me.”
“Who dares to climb over your head?” The old man snorted and sat down on the sofa. “All right, stinky boy, don’t play tricks on me. So what now? What are you going to do?” This grandson was as difficult to deal with as his father. Every time he met him, he would be mentally and physically exhausted.
“Grandfather should take more time to educate the descendants of the Han family. Otherwise, you would be clueless about the reason if the Han family dies one day,” Shang Jin said with a deep smile.
His words almost made Han Lin’s mother angry. It was obvious that he meant that the descendants of the Han family were useless! There were not many children in the Han family, and Han Xian and Han Lin were the most valued ones. Unfortunately, those two were not deserving of the attention they received. They were easy targets and would always make the wrong move when someone provokes them even by the slightest bit.
It was not impossible for the Han family to fall in the hands of Han Xian and his sister one day.
How could Han Lin’s mother not be anxious when she heard this? She was afraid that Mr. Han would be bewitched and leave his family property to others. Therefore, she hurriedly said, “Old Master, Han Xian is still young. Of course, I will try my best to educate him. You know that Han Xian is not a bad person.”
Shang Jinshen sneered. “Still young? He’s an adult. He’ll be sentenced to death if he’s brought to court by the law!”
“Shang Jinshen, he’s your cousin. Do you really want to send your cousin to jail for a woman?” Han Lin’s mother’s face was twisted.
“Stop it,” The old man shouted again. He rubbed the spot in between his eyebrows and said angrily, “How can he take over the Han family if he was obsessed with women all day long? You should reflect on yourself. I told you not to spoil your child.”
“If it goes on like this, I will let my third brother’s family come back.” The old man was obviously really angry. Han Lin’s mother’s face turned pale when she heard his words. The family’s return was equivalent to the old man giving up their second brother’s family.
“Satisfied now?” The old man turned his head and asked.
Shang Jinshen chuckled and said, “Grandpa, you’re teaching your grandson. What is there for me to be satisfied about?”
Mr. Han frowned tightly. This stubborn brat. He calmed down and said, “Don’t beat around the bush. Just tell me why you came here tonight.”
The corners of Shang Jinshen’s lips curled into a smile. “I want all the shares held by the Han family.”
Upon hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes and said in a sharp tone, “You want all of them? Do you know that these are shares that were sent to the Han family as betrothal gifts by the Shang family?”
“Shang Corp. is mine.” Shang Jinshen was unmoved. His eyes were full of determination to win!
The elder looked at him for a long time and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The waves of the Yangtze River pushed the waves of the past. This kid was even more ruthless than his father! There were many members in the family, but he firmly believed that the Shang family belonged to Shang Jinshen. This courage was not something that ordinary people could have.
“I don’t agree!” An angry voice suddenly came from the door.
Mrs. Shang, Han Xiulan, walked straight over and looked at her son. She frowned and said, “What do you want your grandfather’s shares for? The Han family still supports you, doesn’t it?”
After the banquet, Han Xiulan brought Han Lin directly to the Han family’s house. However, she didn’t expect to hear that her son wanted to take back the shares of Shang Corp. before she entered the house.
Shang Jinshen glanced at his mother. How could he not know that the shares in the hands of the Han family were his mother’s base of dignity? With these shares, Mrs. Shang can be in the Shang family forever.
However, he did not need the Han family to restrain him. He could only rest assured when he was in control.
It was because these shares could overthrow Shang Yunan’s shares and the power of the Han family. That was why Han Xiulan could firmly remain in her position as the Madam of the Shang family. Otherwise, Shang Yunan would have brought Liu Lian into the family instead of letting her continue being his mistress.
Therefore, Mrs. Shang would never allow anyone to take away the shares from the Han family.
“Mom, if Shang Corp. is not mine, it’s useless for you to hold on to the shares of the Han family.” Shang Jinshen pointed out the pros and cons. “If the company falls into Shang Yu An’s hands, all the shares held by the Han family are worth nothing.”
Mrs. Shang frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Shang Yu An is secretly buying Shang Corp. shares,” Shang Jinshen said flatly.
“What?” Mrs. Shang’s face immediately twisted and she cursed, “Those b*tches, I knew they had bad intentions!”
“Did you think that I would help Liu Lian get the status she wants?” Shang Jinshen sneered. Naturally, he could see his mother’s hesitation. There was nothing else she was more afraid of other than her position being taken away.
“Then? What now?” Mrs. Shang unconsciously relied on her son. This son was too unexpected. Back then, he defeated the Shang family with his seemingly weakest self. It was unbelievable that he was so decisive! Even if he made many sacrifices, no one could question or even resist him.
He said with certainty, “If I take back the shares of the Han family, we can naturally suppress Shang Yu An.”
Mrs. Shang was caught in a dilemma. If the shares were not in the hands of the Han family, she would have no support. The only person she could rely on in the future was her son!
This son was still filial. No matter what, he wouldn’t help Liu Lian officially set foot in the family. Thinking of this, Mrs. Shang felt at ease.
In short, she couldn’t just stand by and watch Liu Lian and her son being pleased with themselves.
“Father, give it to him,” Han Xiulan suddenly made up her mind.
The old man wasn’t surprised by his daughter’s decision. He had long since seen in this grandson’s eyes the ambition that he was determined to obtain whatever he wanted. His daughter was always soft-hearted towards his grandson.
“Great choice.” The old man praised Shang Jinshen. Although his grandson’s methods made him uncomfortable, he felt honored for having such a grandson.
If the Han family could produce such a proud descendant, why would they treat Han Xian as a treasure?
“Well, it’s not so difficult to get shares. You can exchange them for equal interests. Your cousin, Han Xian, is not worth the price.” The old man had been in the field for many years, of course, he knows what goes down in the field. How could he let Shang Jinshen take away so many shares in vain?
