"Mmm... I'll be mindful of that."
When this matter was brought up before, the old man had privately spoken to him, and to the outside world, it was stated that the second son had surrendered himself.
He had almost forgotten.
Luo Qinghan was straightforward and made the matter public, which saved him the trouble of explaining it individually.
Upon hearing Luo Qinghan's statement, Gu Ming gritted her teeth. How could she not have known about this?
Surrendered himself?
Would anyone truly believe that if it were said aloud?
She certainly didn't believe it, and how many in the audience would?
"Miss Gu, do you have any further questions? If not, I believe I can proceed?" Luo Qinghan inquired very politely, her smile exceptionally charming, looking at Gu Ming as if she were a joke.
"Just now, Miss Luo, you said that we women often don't need to rely on men, that we need to be independent and face more things ourselves. But how have I heard that the money for your new villa was paid by your husband, and that several of your company's previous new projects were also initiated by your husband? In the end, if you leave your husband, will you be nothing?" Gu Ming stood up, her tone becoming aggressive.
"Can I interpret this as you misleading the ladies present here?"
Facing this question, a flicker of surprise flashed in Luo Qinghan's eyes. Everyone knew about the villa purchase, and she had nothing to hide. However, Gu Ming actually knew about her company's initial projects being related to Lin Xiao?
It seemed that her uncles had a good relationship with Gu Ming.
"Regarding this matter," Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up at this moment. The spotlight fell on him as he cleared his throat, "The villa is because our family needs to buy our own home. Normally, among the gentlemen present, would they ask their own wives to pay for a house?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Tao was the first to answer without hesitation.
"How could we possibly let our wives pay?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Hearing this answer, Lin Xiao continued with satisfaction, "So, I paid for our family to buy a house, which is perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"
"As for those few projects, I don't know where Miss Gu Ming heard about them. I can only say that your information is very well-informed. It's like this, my name is Lin Xiao. This name might be unfamiliar to everyone, but the surname 'Lin,' you should all know, right? You should have all heard of the Lin family back then?"
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes.
When he mentioned the Lin family, many people in the room changed their expressions, especially under the spotlight. Lin Xiao could clearly see that the man next to him not only changed his expression but also instinctively took a step back, distancing himself from Lin Xiao.
"Four years ago, my Lin family's businesses and companies, for some reason, fell into the hands of others. Now that I have finally returned, the first thing I did was contact the former managers of the Lin family's industries and take them back," Lin Xiao said calmly. "However, I don't usually have much time to manage them, so I simply let my wife manage these industries. Honestly, I am very grateful to my wife."
Taken back?
Easily said.
Who didn't know these were the industries of the Tianxia Society? The industries of the three great families!
