Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 787 - 806: Xi Xilan’s Deep-seated Fear

Young Master Lin actually guessed wrong. These days, and even much earlier, Xi Xilan has already begun to stir. Her goal is actually simple: to win over some shareholders, determined to pull An Nan down so that she can continue to become the chairman of the Nanqi Group.

Ever since she was forced to leave the company, she has been feeling very unwilling. In Xi Xilan’s view, she has worked hard for the company for so many years. Why should she have to leave just because An Nan returned? What contribution has An Nan made to the company over the years? Therefore, the Nanqi Group is hers and can only belong to her.

However, it is quite obvious that the reality is far from her expectations. Those shareholders who usually had a decent relationship with her, for some reason, as soon as they hear her name, either make excuses about being busy or simply disappear. So, seeing that the annual meeting is about to begin, she still has not managed to win over any shareholders. Xi Xilan started to panic. After much contemplation, she placed her plan on the last person, who is none other than An Ruiyang.

Returning home exhausted, the living room was quiet, obviously empty. Her eyes fell on a tightly closed door, hesitated for a long time, and finally approached with a ’knock knock.’

The crisp knocking sound echoed in the room, followed by a low male voice from within: "Come in."

Xi Xilan then dragged her heavy steps into the room. As soon as she walked in, a questioning male voice entered her ears: "Becoming more and more unruly, where exactly were you out so late?"

"I..." Xi Xilan opened her mouth but ultimately did not talk back. However, not talking back does not mean she is willing to submit like this. In Xi Xilan’s heart, she loathes the man in front of her, but because she currently needs his help, she has no choice but to submit. However, she vowed that once she gets everything she wants, she will make this man regret his past actions.

There was a trace of unwillingness in Xi Xilan’s lowered eyes, yet her voice remained as calm as ever, quietly answering the man’s questions: "Today, I went to find those shareholders, so I came back late."

Xi Xilan’s words finally drew the man’s attention. An Ruiyang, who was behind the spacious desk, suddenly lifted his sharp eyes and glared at her: "And? What is the result? What is the meaning of those shareholders?"

Xi Xilan continued to slowly shake her head: "They all avoided me. Dad, what should I do now? Can you help me?"

After saying these words, she watched him nervously, as if afraid that what she would hear was a refusal.

After so many years in the business world, she has indeed commanded wind and rain, with countless men having to act according to her whims. Yet, in front of this person, she doesn’t even have the courage to speak loudly. She is either timid or speaks softly, and she often has to endure his scolding.

While Xi Xilan was feeling resentful, An Ruiyang also silently fixed his gaze on her, with unknown thoughts in his heart. For a moment, the room fell into an exquisite silence. After a long time, he finally spoke up and scolded: "You are truly more harm than good, just like your daughter over the years, making no progress whatsoever. I’ve already made plans for this matter. Just wait and see the spectacle at the annual meeting the day after tomorrow!"
