"Good news."
Ling Han looked up at her.
"The good news is that I've opened Grandma's inheritance. Although I'm not sure how much Venture Media offered for the acquisition of Pleasure Group, I can guarantee that Grandma's inheritance will definitely exceed their offer."
After Ye Huanyan said this, she was met with a long silence.
Ling Han frowned and didn't look happy at all. "That's for you and Naonnao. I can't touch it."
It wasn't that he didn't know what the old lady left for Ye Huanyan. Although he hadn't carefully studied the Ling family's assets, the old lady lived a conservative life and would definitely keep more than half of the assets in her hands. It wouldn't be surprising even if the amount far exceeded the entire Pleasure Group.
But he never had the intention to touch those assets.
From the beginning, he was sure that the inheritance belonged to Ye Huanyan and Naonnao.
Ye Huanyan had expected him to say something like that. She took a deep breath and persuaded him, "Did you forget what you said to me at the charity banquet?"
Ling Han's gaze froze. He clenched his fingers so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.
At the charity banquet, the reason why he told Ye Huanyan to help him was because he found out some truths that he had never thought of before. Li Ao's words echoed in his mind the entire night and he couldn't let it go.
All these years, his resentment towards his biological father, his hatred towards Jiang Meilan, the anger that he had vented his anger on Ye Huanyan, and even the wrongful explanation of his biological mother's death made him unable to rest in peace.
The past ten years seemed like a dream. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the starting point. He returned to the time when he had just returned to the country and when Wen Qingwan was still alive. Those depressing and unbearable times.
After so many years, after washing away the hatred that had blinded his eyes, he finally remembered that Wen Qingwan was already in a state of severe depression back then. She was very paranoid, and her attitude towards Ling Dongming became colder and colder. Even the divorce was brought up by her.
In terms of the division of assets, other than her request to give her brother a portion of the shares, the rest was all for him. She was hysterical and even wanted Ling Dongming to transfer all the assets under his name to her when they were talking about the divorce.
And all of her hysterics received the mildest response. On the divorce agreement, Ling Dongming signed it without any objections. All of the assets and shares under his name were transferred to Ling Han.
Actually, Ling Han didn't understand Wen Qingwan's actions back then.
He had felt his parents' feelings for each other on the surface since he was young. The family atmosphere was cold. His mother, who was otherworldly, only knew how to read her books every day. Occasionally, she would go to the university to give lectures on modern history.
To be honest, Wen Qingwan didn't put in much effort for this family.
Perhaps it was because she was arrogant, or perhaps it was because she was used to being high and mighty, or perhaps it was because she didn't have any close feelings for Ling Dongming. After so many years, Ling Han finally recognized the reality of the problem in a family back then.
Even without Jiang Meilan, his parents would still have gotten a divorce.
At that time, what saved his parents' marriage, perhaps it was just as Li Ao said, the tumor in Wen Qingwan's body that was already incurable. Ling Dongming's objection to the divorce came from his responsibility as a man.
Wen Qingwan could have spent her last days peacefully. Her husband was gentle and elegant, and her son was modest and filial. However, the car accident that ruined everything didn't just come from an affair.
It was premeditated.
"Okay, just take it that I'm borrowing it from you and your son. When Pleasure comes back, all the shares will be under your name."
Ling Han nodded.
Ye Huanyan knew that it wasn't easy to struggle like this. He was such a noble person, and no one knew him better than she did.
It was rare for him to lower his head.
What exactly happened on the day of the charity banquet? What did Li Ao talk to him about? Ye Huanyan suddenly had some doubts.
"What's the bad news?"
Ling Han's question pulled her back to reality.
"The bad news is that since Umbo and his son betrayed you previously, they definitely won't dare to sell the company to you now. Even if Venture Media offers a lower price, I'm afraid it will still be their first choice."
Gu Sinian was the one who told her this. She hadn't worked in the workplace for a long time and didn't know anything about the key issues of mergers and acquisitions. She had consulted Gu Sinian beforehand, and Gu Sinian had always been very concerned about this matter, so when she asked, he directly analyzed the pros and cons.
According to the current situation of Umbo and his son, they definitely wouldn't be willing to let Ling Han have a chance to make a comeback. They were guilty and afraid that Ling Han would take revenge on them.
"However, the negotiations seem to be hindered now. I heard that they are now in a deadlock because of the acquisition contract."
Ling Han rubbed his chin with a serious expression. "Venture Media is in a deadlock with Umbo because Umbo and his son insist on keeping a portion of the shares in their hands and are unwilling to withdraw, right?"
Ye Huanyan nodded. "That's right."
"Hong Rizhang is a person who will cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. He won't dare to use someone like Umbo, who is always ready to usurp the throne."
"However, Umbo isn't stupid either. Without Pleasure, they can't just sit around and do nothing in the future, right? So, they have their eyes on the big pie after Pleasure and Venture Media merge. They want a share of the pie."
Once Venture Media and Pleasure Group merged, the corresponding assets would also be merged. After the company's restructuring, the change in equity involved the foundation of Venture Media. In other words, if Umbo and his son held on to Pleasure's shares and refused to let go, in the end, they would hold on to the new Venture Media after the merger and refuse to let go.
Hong Rizhang was such a shrewd person. In the hands of this father and son duo, even Ling Han had suffered a loss. How could he take the risk of leading the wolf into the house?
"This news isn't too bad."
Ling Han suddenly smiled. "And your first news is indeed good news."
Ye Huanyan looked a little confused. "What do you mean?"
"There's still room for appreciation if you keep the real estate. The fixed assets that grandma left for you and Naonnao will probably only depreciate. It's better to invest them."
Ling Han's eyes flashed. "Umbo and his son definitely won't let go if I show up, but Venture Media will definitely lower the price when I show up to buy them. I'd like to see how much they can lower the price."
"…"
While they were chatting, the person on the bed mumbled. Ye Huanyan was stunned, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.
Ji Xiaoyue opened her eyes slowly and said in confusion, "Where am I?"
"Hey, don't move …" Seeing that she was about to get up, Ye Huanyan hurriedly shouted, "You just finished the surgery. Don't move …"
It was too late. Ji Xiaoyue's movement had already pulled on her wound. She immediately screamed, "Oh my …"
Before she could finish speaking, the door to the ward was knocked open and Gu Sinian rushed in anxiously.
"What's wrong?"
