As Ding Mengya heard this, she furrowed her brows harder and an impatient expression crossed her face.
She was a straightforward person, and the years of not managing the company made her dislike beating around the bush. Unable to resist, she said, “Just get to the point.”
This part of her character was somewhat similar to Zhuang Nainai.
Li Yufeng lowered her head and thought, Luckily, she and Nainai are not on good terms… Given their personalities, if their relationship wasn’t strained at the moment, they would be getting on swimmingly.
At the thought of this, Li Yufeng heaved a huge sigh. “In-Law, don’t blame me for saying ugly things, but my daughter married your son without even receiving betrothal gifts. Qingyan is now pregnant, and the only thing they did was to register their marriage. We, the Gu family, have given Qingyan 20 percent of our company’s shares as her dowry…”
Ding Mengya could no longer stand the secretive and furtive way the other woman was speaking and simply decided to cut her off. “What does Gu Qingyan want?”
Li Yufeng raised her head to face Ding Mengya’s unhappy face. Inwardly pleased, she lowered her head once more. “Shouldn’t there be… some shares transferred to her?”
Ding Mengya was stunned. Immediately, she furrowed her brows.
The Imperial Group was a huge corporation, and the only reason Si Zhengting was able to control it effectively was due to the shares he had in hand. If Zhuang Nainai were to get five percent of the shares, and if this five percent were to shift around in the future… Si Zhengting’s absolute power over the company would come into jeopardy.
Ding Mengya pressed her lips together. “How much does she want?”
“Ten percent,” Li Yufeng said without batting an eyelid.
Ten percent was the amount that Ding Mengya had under her name!
Ding Mengya furrowed her brows once more. A few moments later, she coldly curled her lips. “She sure has a big appetite.”
Li Yufeng continued, “You can’t blame our Qingyan, really. The main point is that this pregnancy is so difficult, and if we’re not careful, something bad might happen.”
Hearing this, Ding Mengya felt a sense of exasperation rising in her. So, Li Yufeng and Zhuang Nainai were trying to threaten her with the baby?
Ding Mengya lowered her gaze, her expression one of displeasure.
Despite this, Li Yufeng pressed on. “Actually, my Qingyan had a rough childhood. It’s normal for someone who grew up without much to feel insecure, don’t you think?”
Ding Mengya didn’t reply. Lowering her head, she suddenly lifted it up and said, “Is this really what Gu Qingyan wants, or is this what you want?”
Li Yufeng was taken aback by the sudden attack on her. Slightly jolted, she regained her composure and lowered her head. Luckily, she had prepared for a scenario like this beforehand. “This is what we both want.”
Ding Mengya gave a cold grunt, then said, “If she wants shares, get her to tell Si Zhengting by herself. They’re husband and wife now, and we as elders shouldn’t butt into their affairs as much as possible!”
Li Yufeng didn’t expect such a reply. Furrowing her brows, she retorted, “But how would she dare to say such things to Si Zhengting?”
“They’re husband and wife; what would they not dare to say to each other?”
Just as Li Yufeng was about to say something, Ding Mengya fixed her gaze on her. “Or is this not Gu Qingyan’s idea at all, and it’s just you wanting the shares?”
Even though she and Zhuang Nainai had a sore point between them due to what happened five years ago, she was sure that Zhuang Nainai wasn’t a money-grabber who valued money as if it were life. That year, when she had given Zhuang Nainai an empty cheque to fill in, Zhuang Nainai could have filled in any amount she wanted, but she had filled in only 300,000 dollars.
Hearing this reply, Li Yufeng clenched her fists together.
