Chapter 1942: An Unexpected Turn

“Hm?”

Tina didn’t understand what this meant.

Mrs. Wilson stroked her hair and said, “You’re too young, and you’re only seeing the surface of the problem. The truth of this matter isn’t determined by who speaks the loudest or whether the weaker party is automatically right. Although Xia was the one who initially brought the design plans, Lisa was responsible for the actual renovation project… So, I’m not certain who completed this work. One is a female architect who has worked for GMP for many years with rich experience, while the other is an intern. The intern certainly participated in this work, but how much did she complete? 10%, 20%?”

Indeed.

Tina thought Mrs. Wilson’s words made sense.

Since Mrs. Wilson had specified that Xia Xiaolan must take charge of this project, was it possible that the GMP firm, wanting to accept this commission and earn the money, had used Xia Xiaolan’s name while delegating the actual work to Lisa, the more experienced architect?

Tina had originally intended to persuade Mrs. Wilson to set aside her prejudices and testify for Xia Xiaolan.

Now, Tina’s resolve was shaken by Mrs. Wilson’s words.

As Mrs. Wilson suggested, if Xia Xiaolan only did 10% or 20% of the work, with Lisa completing the majority, then Lisa was the one who had been treated unfairly.

Tina’s mind was in chaos.

“Alright, don’t think too much about it. I know you’re a kind-hearted sweetheart. If this goes to court and they need our testimony, I will tell the judge what I know, and we’ll let the judge make the final decision, okay?”

“Really?”

“Darling, of course it’s true. I promise to be impartial.”

Tina immediately felt relieved of her psychological burden.

Yes, let the judge decide.

Don’t let innocent people be wronged, and don’t let liars escape legal consequences!

“Then I’ll tell Ji Jiangyuan that I’m willing to work with him. Ji Jiangyuan said outstanding work performance could lead to promotion – I’ll help you all!”

This conversation was originally known only to the three people present.

In the afternoon, the Wilsons took Tina to enjoy afternoon tea and left the room, casually hanging a “Clean Soon” sign on the door.

A cleaning cart slowly approached.

The cleaner entered the room and left shortly after, appearing completely normal.

Oh my, today there seems to be something useful.

This foreign old man was coaxing a young girl to approach someone called Harrod.

They also mentioned something about GMP firm and design.

Harrod – he knew about him, the American tycoon who had reserved the entire top floor of the South Sea Hotel.

What was this couple planning to do to Harrod?

This person thought he had caught some critical intelligence. He called Hong Kong, and Ah Hua was indeed pleased:

“Keep paying attention. You might not have to clean hotel rooms much longer.”

“I hope so! By the way, they also mentioned something about GMP firm, some design, and architects – I don’t know if that’s useful.”

“What nonsense-“

Ah Hua stopped mid-course, feeling something was off:

“What did you say? GMP firm?”

“Yes, GMP firm. It seems like an intern is going to sue a GMP firm architect over who created the theater renovation design…”

Ah Hua’s expression turned peculiar.

GMP?

The young master was almost obsessive about knowing everything Miss Xia did in America.

GMP firm – 99.9% of Chinese people would never hear this name in their lifetime, and even if they did, they wouldn’t care or take it seriously.

Ah Hua was among that 0.1%.

He wasn’t just a bodyguard.

He was also a driver, an assistant, and a secret agent!

Not only did he have to ensure his employer’s safety, but he also had to keep track of his employer’s emotional inclinations – GMP firm was where Miss Xia had previously interned in America! The intern that Tina and the Wilsons mentioned, Ah Hua would bet his life it was 100% Miss Xia.

“Bring me the tape.”

“Where to?”

As if the instructions weren’t clear enough.

“To customs. I’ll have someone pick it up… Congratulations, you’ve likely done something meritorious.”

This was truly a case of unintended success!

The young master had people monitoring old Ivan because he disliked this foreigner and felt he was threatening Miss Xia, so he wanted to drive the Ivan couple out of Pengcheng.

Going to such trouble was ultimately all for Miss Xia!

Now knowing that old Ivan was targeting Harrod, what did that have to do with the young master? The young master surely cared about the lawsuit involving Miss Xia… Ah Hua’s English wasn’t just poor – he didn’t understand these foreign devil words at all.

After getting the recording tape, Ah Hua listened to it once but couldn’t understand. Suddenly the pressure became immense – so as a bodyguard, he not only needed to have combat skills, know how to use guns, drive cars, and handle his employer’s business matters, but now he also had to learn foreign languages.

With such high work intensity, no wonder his hand shook when signing that 120-square-meter house contract!

He couldn’t just let the young master listen to this – he’d get scolded. The young master’s English was only slightly better than his… Fortunately, finding someone with strong English skills in Hong Kong wasn’t difficult. Ah Hua needed to show the translated version to Du Zhaohui.

Du Zhaohui had been running errands for Tang Yuanyue all week.

As expected, someone was sabotaging Yuhua’s stock price decline from behind the scenes. There were external factors and internal traitors – Tang Yuanyue’s second brother Tang Kaijie was inexplicably opposing Tang Yuanyue.

Tang Jinyun’s death was sudden but not entirely unprepared for. Wealthy people were accustomed to planning, and Tang Jinyun had left a will distributing his assets – after the inheritance was announced, Du Zhaohui somewhat understood Tang Kaijie’s reaction. Why was he causing trouble? Because Tang Jinyun’s inheritance distribution was unfair to Tang Kaijie.

To put it simply, if Tang Jinyun’s inheritance was divided into ten parts, Tang Yuanyue, the eldest son, got six parts, Mrs. Tang took two parts, and the Tang family’s third son and Tang Kaijie only got one part.

Tang Zerui had quite an artistic temperament – about 10% of the family assets were already plenty for him. He was even considering letting Tang Yuanyue help manage it; he wouldn’t have to work, or would only do light tasks!

Tang Kaijie had different ideas…

Tang Kaijie was now suing Tang Yuanyue, claiming the will was fake. He also demanded an autopsy, suspecting human factors in Tang Jinyun’s death. When Tang Jinyun was alive, the Tang family was a model of harmony among Hong Kong’s elite families. After Tang Jinyun’s sudden death from illness, the Tang family was making headlines every day!

It wasn’t enough for just Du Zhaohui to run around – Tang Yuanyue needed to stabilize the situation.

As Du Zhaohui had anticipated, Tang Yuanyue had already preliminarily discussed marriage arrangements with the He family.

The troublemakers weren’t the He family; Tang Yuanyue had enlisted the He family as allies. He Zhitong quickly broke up with her current partner, and during this period of mourning for Tang Jinyun, He Zhitong had been running errands back and forth. The media was already speculating about their rekindled romance – they were just waiting for Tang Jinyun’s mourning period to end before publicly announcing their marriage plans.
