Chapter 1974 Next one, is it my turn?
Shu Baozhu didn't say anything more, and the whole room became extremely quiet for a moment.
Finally, Liu Xia on the other end of the phone spoke again to confirm: "Did she really say she wanted to break up with you?"
Shu Baozhu felt a little guilty. "If you want to sell the Great Xia gold to me for no reason, it means you want to break off our friendship."
“…Baozhu, you might be overthinking it. Zhang Ran is rolling in money now. Every business she's invested in over the years has made a profit. She might just be thinking of giving you Daxia Gold as a birthday gift.”
"Are you telling the truth?" Shu Baozhu's mood immediately improved.
"...Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you sign it."
"I won't sign!" Shu Baozhu said firmly. "What if she breaks off all ties with me after I sign it, and it's not what you said?"
"...Then you can't stop her either, just like me. She's unilaterally declared she's cutting ties with me. What can I do?"
Shu Baozhu remained silent for a long time before hanging up the phone. Still unwilling to give up, she called Qiao Xi again and repeated that Zhang Ran was going to sell her the shares of Daxia Gold after they left, saying, "It was Liu Xia before, it's me today, and it will definitely be your turn tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Zhang Ran might be in trouble. I'll go see her myself tomorrow."
"Didn't you say you'd go back to S City to prepare for the wedding after my birthday?"
"One more day won't make a difference. Wait for my news."
"Mmm." Shu Baozhu hung up the phone, sat on the edge of the bed, crying and cursing at the same time. Suddenly, she heard footsteps beside her. She quickly wiped away her tears, looked at the person, and forced a smile, "Mom."
Shu Xian walked over and touched her head, "You shouldn't have scolded Ranran. We owe her a debt that we can never repay in this lifetime."
“I didn’t mean to curse her, I was just so angry.” Shu Baozhu’s tears flowed again. “She always keeps things to herself, but now that something’s happened, she’s cutting ties with us. I know she doesn’t want to drag us down, but what she’s doing is like stabbing me in the heart. Am I, Shu Baozhu, not someone we can entrust our backs to?”
Shu Xian hugged her and gently stroked the back of her head. "She may have encountered an insurmountable obstacle this time. Baozhu, remember, no matter who asks, you must insist that I was the one who set the fire and killed people back then. As for those villagers who chased us when we disappeared, we never saw them. Even if they are dead, it was done by wild animals. If the police suspect it was Ranran, my daughter and I will testify for her. She ran away with us and never left us along the way."
On the way back to the manor, Zhang Ran's phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was Qiao Xi calling. She pressed the answer button.
“Baozhu just called me crying, saying you’re going to break up with her.”
Qiao Xi's cool voice came through the phone to Zhang Ran's ears.
"She's overthinking it. I've repeatedly emphasized that I'm not cutting ties with her."
"It's not about breaking off relations, you're going to give her shares in Daxia Gold?"
"Who said it was given away?" Zhang Ran immediately corrected. "It was sold, okay? Nobody gets something for free."
"...Am I next? Are you going to sell me your shares in the game company and the online shopping platform?"
"You wish! Game companies make the most money from shopping on platforms. I'm not selling to you." The other party has their eye on her, gathering evidence everywhere, probably intending to deliver a fatal blow.
Before that, start by collecting some interest from the people around her.
Yan Jiu's car accident was just the beginning; next, it will be Shu Baozhu's turn.
No matter how many bodyguards you hire, you can't prevent someone from constantly thinking about you. Even the best-laid plans can have a flaw, and it's impossible to guard against everything. It's better to sever ties with them as soon as possible.
As for Qiao Xi, the other party would have to think twice before trying to harm her.
Qiao Xi's parents are prominent figures in S City, and her soon-to-be husband, Cheng Mingtai, owns a huge law firm with over a hundred lawyers. If the investigation leads to Cheng Mingtai, it will naturally lead to Xia Wei as well. She's betting that Xia Wei won't easily target Qiao Xi.
