Becoming The Business Magnate’s Spoiled Wife Chapter 38

In the Qu family villa, Qu Xiao sat on the sofa with her eyes red and her hands tightly holding a cup of water.

Qu Qi glanced at her with a contemptuous expression and said in a mocking tone, “Who was the one who said that she wanted to sever ties with us last night?”

“Shang Yan couldn’t be bothered to support you anymore and wanted to divorce you, so you came back so eagerly!”

Qu Xiao lowered her eyes and did not say anything. Mr. Qu cleared his throat to interrupt their conversation and tried his best to pretend to be kind and amiable as he stared at Qu Xiao.

He rubbed his hands together and asked tentatively, “Can you still get access to the confidential documents of the Shang Group?”

Qu Xiao pursed her red lips tightly and raised her eyes as if she had made up her mind. “I know the password to his safe.”

“The Shang Group has two projects in progress recently, both of which are supported by the government. The prospects and profits are very promising. I can help you steal the specific information and the low price of their acquisition, but I need some guarantee!”

Qu Xiao threw out the bait, and Mr. Qu’s eyes revealed a greedy look. He anxiously moved to Qu Xiao’s side. “Bring it on!”

“When the project is completely in my hands, you will definitely get a lot of bonuses and dividends!”

When Qu Xiao heard Mr. Qu’s words, disdain flashed across her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. She placed the cup on the coffee table and leaned back in a negotiating stance, “Verbal promise has no legal effect. What I need is a guarantee to implement the terms of our contract!”

“When I helped Ling Chi steal information in the past, he also said that he would reward me greatly. But in the end? I didn’t receive any returns.”

Mr. Qu tried to sweet talk Qu Xiao, but she saw through his intentions and immediately raised her hand to interrupt his hypocritical words.

Qu Xiao’s eyes revealed a shrewdness and indifference that could see through everything, “The Qu family has never treated me as one of their own. I don’t trust you. If you want me to steal information, I can, but you need to pay me 10% of the project’s profits as a commission.”

“Not just after you have acquired the project. I need something first before I can help you!”

Qu Xiao’s attitude was unyielding. Mr. Qu stared at her with a frown, seemingly hesitant.

Qu Qi stood up with a sneer, pointed at her and scolded, “Are you talking in your sleep? Who knows if you’re for real or not?”

Mr. Qu’s eyes flickered with suspicion, but Qu Xiao was sitting calmly. She looked up at Qu Qi, “I can’t run away. If any problems arise within the project, you can find me at any time. Do you know how many people would love to steal the Shang Group’s projects?”

“I am the only one who can help you. The Ling family is currently busy protecting their own enterprise. With your capital chain, how long can you last? If you don’t get a profitable project, I’m afraid you won’t last more than half a year, right?”

Qu Xiao knew Mr. Qu’s weakness very well. She knew that business and money were what Mr. Qu valued the most.

Sure enough, Mr. Qu slammed the table heavily. He glared at Qu Qi and told her to shut up. Then, he slowly discussed with Qu Xiao, “Since you know our current situation, you should know that I can’t give you cash. Why don’t we exchange something else…”

Qu Xiao deliberately stood up and walked to the door, silently counting three seconds in her heart.

Mr. Qu anxiously opened his mouth and called out to her, “I’ll give you 10% of the Qu Group’s shares as collateral!”

“After the project is settled, I’ll buy it back from you at market price. You definitely won’t take a loss, how about it?”

Mr. Qu was blinded by benefits. Qu Xiao forcefully controlled her smirk, restrained her smug expression, and turned around. She frowned and nodded, as if she had made a great compromise and sacrifice, “Alright, let’s do as you said, to transfer the shares.”

…

Late at night, Qu Xiao stuffed the transfer agreement into Shang Yan’s hands. She twisted her waist proudly to show off the results to him.

Shang Yan looked at her with a doting expression. He raised his hand to support Qu Xiao through the air, afraid that she would fall down.

The alarm clock rang. Qu Xiao restrained her excited expression and carefully pulled out the silver needles on Shang Yan’s legs.

Shang Yan’s rehabilitation treatment had already been going on for nearly half a month. Qu Xiao adjusted his treatment plan according to his condition, but there was still no improvement.

She tried her best to conceal her anxiety and uneasiness as she used a small hammer to gently knock on Shang Yan’s knees and nerves.

Dong! Shang Yan’s knee socket suddenly showed a slight bounce reaction.

Qu Xiao’s eyes blinked rapidly. She raised her head to look at Shang Yan in disbelief and asked, “You… did you move?”

Although it was only for an instant, she was sure that she was not hallucinating!

Shang Yan eyes were filled with surprise and excitement as he nodded. “Yes! You might really be able to help me stand up again.”
