Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Guided by an Expert

Without a doubt, Jiang Kexin received a provocative call from her brother Jian Kede half an hour later.

The charity event no longer needed her.

At that moment, Jiang Kexin was conspiring with a friend on a seemingly innocuous yet effective plan to destroy Tang Xiaowan’s image.

Her friend believed that as long as they could expose an unknown side of Tang Xiaowan to the public, Leng Lingxiao would gradually distance himself from her.

First, they would use social media activities to make Tang Xiaowan a trending topic. Then they would spread rumors online that she had repeatedly bullied her classmates at school, or that her private life was unsavory because of money.

Upon review, these types of topics indeed garnered the most attention and discussion online.

Following this, they planned to discreetly reveal to the media at the charity event the cruel mistreatment of stray cats by Tang Xiaowan and Jiang Kede, suggesting that their actions were unconscionable.

After all, her brother Jian Kede had indeed engaged in similar misconduct previously, and he had numerous scandalous girlfriends.

Rumors, feared by the public, slinging mud?

Yes, that was their plan.

Unexpectedly, before they could start, Jiang Kexin received a challenging call, and the charity event had been taken over by her brother Jian Kede.

She suspected that her brother must have been guided by someone more competent.

First, her plan was scrapped, her beloved car was destroyed, then came those photos spread on the internet, and now even her job at the event had been snatched away.

Knowing her brother, he was not that intelligent.

There was definitely a problem!

"Ke Xin, are we still doing this?" her friend asked curiously, closing the laptop.

Jiang Kexin glanced at the call log on her phone, pondered for a moment, and then smirked coldly, "Why wouldn’t we?"

Her friend looked at her puzzlingly, thinking she was distressed and speaking nonsense, "Ke Xin, your brother has already taken over the charity event. How can we implement our plan now? He surely won’t even let us in."

"Don’t worry, I have my ways. Our plan will continue, just with a few minor adjustments," Jiang Kexin said thoughtfully.

"What kind of adjustments? You’re not planning to seduce your brother to distract him, are you?"

At that, Jiang Kexin shook her head.

"Nonsense. Just a slight tweak to the plan. From now on, we’ll stop spreading rumors about Tang Xiaowan and focus all our efforts on my brother. Since he’s heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Her friend exclaimed in shock, "Have you gone mad? That’s your brother, your own brother. It’s definitely not him who uploaded those pictures online. It must be someone else!"

Jiang Kexin shook her head, her gaze firm, "No, I’m not mad. I must let my father know that his son is not the only one who can inherit the family business. There’s also me, Jiang Kexin."

"Well, okay, what specifically should we do?"

Jiang Kexin grinned mysteriously, "Just wait and watch the drama unfold. I’ll create some trouble for my brother, letting him know that I’m not easy to mess with."

"Should I continue contacting those few people then?"

"Yes, keep the price the same."

Hearing Jiang Kexin’s words, her friend was somewhat apprehensive, but chose to trust her.

After all, they had been close sisters for many years.

"Okay okay, these days, as long as the money is right, people don’t care who you’re targeting, even if it’s their own father, haha!"

Thus, the two continued planning, shifting their target from Tang Xiaowan to Jian Kede.

"Why do you think my brother’s intelligence all of a sudden shot up these past days? It’s not like him at all. Could he be guided by a mastermind, or is there someone secretly helping him?" Jiang Kexin suddenly asked.

Her friend also found Jiang Kexin’s words reasonable, so she stopped typing and began to think.

"Looking over the whole of Huang City, the only one with the capacity to interfere in your family affairs... is probably that old man Wang Jinhui. He is widely recognized as the richest man, extremely wealthy, and his knife manufacturing plants are all over the country."

"Wang Jinhui? My brother seemed to have been in contact with him quite a bit recently, buying a batch of fencing equipment."

"Why, is he planning on opening a fencing gym?"

"Ah, it’s all because my dad is too biased. He supports whatever my brother does; over the years, I don’t know how much money he has thrown into it!"

"Your dad really favors sons over daughters, not afraid that your brother will squander the family estate!"

Jiang Kexin shook her head and sighed deeply.

Is Wang Jinhui the only one with the capacity?

Impossible, they had overlooked another hidden tycoon, who was even closer.

Leng Lingxiao had been deeply influenced by his father, Leng Jiangping, since he was young. He had always kept a low profile domestically, and never made a show of his wealth, hence no one knew exactly how much wealth he possessed.

His unique perspective and business acumen had already begun to show when he was in college. After taking over the family business, his investments had grown uncontrollably, expanding into various paths.

Over the years, his Lingxiao Group had business operations all over the world, currently extending to over thirty countries. Ventures like amusement parks, bars, and printing were merely investments made for fun and to earn some extra cash. His main focus lay in medical devices, the internet, construction, etc., covering an extensive range of sectors.

He was much wealthier than Wang Jinhui.

However, he belonged to the type who kept a low profile, unlike Wang Jinhui who was all out in the open.

Therefore, when Jiang Kexin’s friend heard that Jian Kede might have had guidance from a prominent figure, he naturally thought of Huang City’s richest man, Wang Jinhui.

...

Hospital, private room.

The meal Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan had brought was greatly enjoyed by Tang Mei, especially the nutritious soup, from which she directly had two bowls.

Wang Jinhui had also had the good fortune of enjoying the meal.

Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan’s message had greatly touched Tang Xiaowan. Tang Xiaowan felt that old people indeed needed a companion, and having an extra grandfather to love her was truly a joy upon joy.

Therefore, Tang Xiaowan made the excuse of wanting to eat ice cream and forcibly dragged Leng Lingxiao out of the room.

In the lobby waiting area on the first floor, Leng Lingxiao laughed and said to Tang Xiaowan, "Tangtang, you are really clever, you even fooled me."

Tang Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"Please, it’s called orchestrating happiness! Wang Jinhui is so good to grandma, so I wanted to let him spend more time with her, have a talk, chat a bit."

"Yes, Wang Jinhui is indeed a very nice person, it’s just a pity he has remained unmarried his whole life."

"A bachelor like grandma?"

"Actually, not entirely. I’ve known him for almost ten years now. Once after a drink, he mentioned his past. It seems when he was young, he fell in love with a girl, and they even got engaged, but later something tragic happened to her family. She and her father disappeared mysteriously one night... and just a few days later, news came that they had passed away."

"That’s so tragic, I had no idea... Wang Jinhui had such a painful past."

"Fortunately, he still has a son."

Tang Xiaowan frowned, puzzled, "Didn’t you just say he had never been married?"
