At the Ji's villa.
The crisis of the Ji Group in the past two months had exhausted the Jis. The family was now relieved that they have managed to escape the close bankruptcy.
At the hall of the Ji's villa, the three Jis, along with Rorey and her mother, sat on the sofa with relaxed looks on their faces.
"Yunis, your cousin will be home in a few days. Remember to pick her up for dinner at that time. If it weren't for her this time, we would probably not have been able to overcome this crisis.”
Quinta looked at Yunis, who was sitting beside her, with a faint smile on her face. She finally recovered her ladylike behaviors.
Quinta also had a bad time in the past two months.
She used to be flattered wherever she went.
After the accident of the Ji Group, however, all the wealthy ladies who had been so close to her chose to stay away from her. The feeling of being ignored was very uncomfortable. Now that the Ji Group had gotten a way out, she could finally reinstate her position as the Ji family’s matriarch.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll see to it.”
Yunis smiled. The nervous look on his face, which he had maintained for the last two months, was also retaken by his usual elegance.
Not as carefree as his wife and son, Louie still had a trace of gloom on his aged face. "I was so busy getting rid of the project that I didn't think about it carefully. Now in retrospect, I found it too strange. Who the hell set us up? We have little enemies, but Melissa reminded me that someone might frame us."
"But who is that capable? Few in the country can completely suppress us except the four great families, who we never offend. So it's very unlikely that they did it.”
Yunis' face darkened when it came to the person snaring them.
Because of the company's affairs, he was inferior in front of others for the past two months.
Besides, clients who had previously worked closely with the Ji Group were affected and had suffered a lot.
As a result, everyone was running away from the Ji Group. If it wasn't for Melissa's help, the group would have been declared bankrupt.
Yunis's eyes turned cold at the thought of that, viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be Rosiley?"
Rorey, who had been silent for a long time, voiced suddenly. "Have you all forgotten that a mysterious man has always by that woman's side? Because of that man, Rosiley got the better of Manny. I doubt if that man has anything to do with the four great families.”
"Impossible!"
Almost without thinking, Yunis denied Rorey's speculation, "For years, the Ji group has been trying to reach out to the great four, but they are too large and their members are mysterious and low-key. It is not easy to get in touch with them, not to mention that Rosiley has a good relationship with that man. Besides, you're not the only one who thinks of this. The man might be something, but obviously, he couldn't have anything to do with the four families.”
"According to my investigation, young masters of the Lu family live abroad. The heirs of the other three are in the country. But they were so high in status that even Dad found it extremely difficult to meet them. I don't think Rosiley can befriend people like that."
Perhaps because of his innate sense of superiority, Yunis believed that he was the best man Rosiley had ever known. Even though she had an outstanding man by her side already, Yunis was still confident enough to compare himself with that man.
"How can that be? No matter what, you are still the future heir of the Tang Group. As the eldest miss of the Tang family, if you didn't even have a decent wedding ceremony, you would be disgraced.”
Xenia put on a stern face on purpose and complained.
Her voice was neither loud nor small, but it was clearly heard by Yunis and his parents.
"Future heir of the Tang Group?"
The three turned their gaze to Rorey with astonishment on their faces.
"Yes! A few days ago, Seneca had agreed to give the majority of the shares of the company to Rorey, who is the righteous young miss of the Tang family now. With her status, she should be more than qualified to marry Yunis, right?"
Xenia smiled at the Jis but snorted inwardly.
Xenia and Rorey had been looked down upon by Quinta because Rorey hadn't been the real Gu.
Now that Seneca was dying and the Tang Group would have a new owner, Xenia could finally treat them condescendingly.
For some reason, this feeling gave her a morbid pleasure.
So this was the feeling of being superior!
