Snatching Women from Chapter 77: Board of Directors

Chapter 77

The curtains blocked the sunlight, making the room dim and hard to see.

Zhang Xinran groped her way into the living room.

Nan Yue's voice rang out in the darkness: "Who's there? Is it you? Qin Zhao, have you co to see ?"

She paused, then continued: "Why did you leave

to walk alone? Will you feel lonely walking the road to the underworld by yourself?"

Although Nan Yue did not cry, her words sounded like weeping and pleading, each word tearfully bitter.

Listening further, even Zhang Xinran, an outsider, felt like crying. She quickly spoke up: "Miss, it's , Zhang Xinran."

As soon as she finished speaking, a heavy object struck her body!

At the sa ti, she heard Nan Yue yell: "If it's not Qin Zhao, what are you doing here? Get out!"

Zhang Xinran retreated back a few steps, enduring the pain as she said: "Sorry Miss, didn't an to disturb you, but Chairman Nan wants to see you. I'm just here to pass along the ssage."

A wine bottle shattered on the ground, glass shards flying everywhere, frightening Zhang Xinran into uncontrollable trembling.

Nan Yue asked: "Are you one of Nan Chenghui's people, or mine?!"

Zhang Xinran was silent for a while, then knelt before Nan Yue and replied: "I'm sorry Miss, I betrayed you. But if you can forgive , from now on I'll be your person."

Nan Yue did not respond, only saying: "Tell

about the situation on Nan Chenghui's side."

Zhang Xinran recounted in ticulous detail everything that had happened in Nan Chenghui's hospital room.

"Alright, go tell Nan Chenghui that I won't see him, and all outside matters no longer concern

from now on."

Zhang Xinran nodded. "Yes Miss, I'll do as you say."

After Zhang Xinran passed along Nan Yue's words to Nan Chenghui, he was so angry he nearly leapt out of his hospital bed. But his body didn't allow it, so he could only yell and curse from his bed!

The doctor ca several tis but it didn't help. He could only let Nan Chenghui throw his tantrum.

Once Nan Chenghui had vented his anger, he said to Zhang Xinran: "You! Report Miss's situation to

every day!"

Zhang Xinran agreed.

But until the day before the board eting began, Nan Yue still hadn't gone to see Nan Chenghui.

Gritting his teeth, he asked: "What is Miss doing today?"

Zhang Xinran replied: "Still the sa. Miss has decided not to attend the board eting."

Nan Chenghui closed his eyes for a mont, then said: "Very good, excellent! This way I don't need to waste ti on her either! Help

call Li Shuyun."

"Yes, Chairman Nan."

...

At 9:30 am on May 2nd, in the board eting venue.

There were still 30 minutes before the official start, but most of the board mbers had already arrived.

A few of the Nan Group's veterans sat together chatting idly.

"You all received the notice right? Nan Yue isn't coming today."

"It's best if she doesn't co. A useless playgirl, what's she coming for? To make trouble?"

"Hahahaha, Old Li you're too harsh. You should at least give the Chairman so face. If Nan Yue dares to co, I wouldn't mind voting for her."

"Nan Chenghui is half dead as it is! Does he still have any face left? He's lost it all! Hahaha!"

The sound of high heels echoed in the venue. Everyone looked over to see Li Shuyun walking to the main seat on the left and sitting down.

The atmosphere changed slightly.

Previously when Li Shuyun had spoken, it was only in her capacity as Nan Chenghui's wife. She held no real power or shares.

So no one had considered her part of the equation.

Seeing her now made everyone uneasy, especially those few with ambitions of competing for the Chairman position.

Old Zhang jokingly asked: "Mrs. Nan, have you just co to watch the show?"

Clearly not believing she had the qualifications to participate in the board eting.

Li Shuyun remained composed, refusing to take his bait.

She believed the shares in her hands, plus those of the few she had lobbied, were enough to secure the Chairman seat.

No need to continue humoring these irrelevant people.

The board eting host Zhou Kun said: "There are still 20 minutes before the board eting starts. Board mber candidates who intend to give a speech, please prepare your remarks. Let

know in advance if you need a computer or projector."

Ti passed second by second. At the stroke of 10 am, Zhou Kun announced the official start of the board eting!

Right at that mont, the eting room door opened and a familiar figure entered everyone's line of sight!

Nan Yue's black suit allowed her to shed the coquettish aura brought on by her great beauty, giving her a very professional look that caught everyone's eye.

Li Shuyun clenched her fists, unwilling to believe Nan Yue had actually co!

Nan Chenghui said he was transferring his shares to her, and told her to work hard to win the Chairman position.

Why then would Nan Yue still show up?

Could it be Nan Chenghui did not hand over all his shares to her?

Puzzled by this, Li Shuyun carefully observed everyone's reaction to Nan Yue's entrance.

So in the room were surprised, so indifferent. But most notable were those few who seed secretly excited!

These people clearly expected Nan Yue would co, aning they must be on her side!

Li Shuyun was furious enough to gnash her teeth!

After Nan Chenghui's death, if she wanted to maintain her extravagant lifestyle, she had to obtain his assets.

She was determined to get this fortune, even if it ant taking it from his own daughter!

As Nan Yue entered, another person erged close behind her!

The two were so close they bumped into each other slightly.

"Sorry, I was rushing and didn't stop in ti."

Nan Yue looked at the person in disbelief and asked: "Senior sister, what are you doing here?"

Shen Yixuan also realized then who she had bumped into. "I decided to participate at the last minute."

"You have shares in the Nan Group?"

Shen Yixuan nodded: "I only bought them recently."

Nan Yue suppressed her doubts. "I see."

Shen Yixuan randomly took a seat and asked the host: "Can we wait a bit? I have another friend coming."

The host politely replied: "As long as they are qualified to attend the board eting, anyone can co in before it concludes."

Shen Yixuan gave an OK sign, then withdrew her gaze.

Nan Yue t Li Shuyun's icy stare head-on as she approached her.

Though this was her own mother, the closer she got, the more like a stranger she seed.

Why had their relationship deteriorated to this point?

She had desperately wanted to know the answer to this question before.

Wanted to demand an explanation from every pair of eyes that looked her way.

But now, she no longer cared.

She was responsible for her own life. No need to beg others for an explanation!

Nan Yue stopped beside Li Shuyun and leaned in close to her ear, whispering: "It seems I've won this power struggle!"

Li Shuyun remained calm. She pointed to the door and said: "Not necessarily. No one knows who the winner is until the very last mont."

Nan Yue looked towards the door to see a man in a duck-billed cap sitting in a wheelchair, pushed in by soone else.

When she recognized the man's face, Nan Yue's eyes widened and her heartbeat quickened, body trembling slightly!

Qin Zhao looked up with a smile, greeting everyone: "Morning all, sorry I'm late...
