Chapter 180 Liu Ruyan's Thoughts
"Alright, you two, shut up. Ruyan, what are your plans now? Xiaotao has no intention of getting back together with you. You can't use this to threaten him, can you? Not to mention Shishi, we won't agree to you using this to threaten Xiaotao."
Sun Wenli and Liu Jiangcheng were adamant that no matter what their eldest daughter did, they would not allow her to ruin Wu Tao's reputation and career.
With Wu Tao's help, the Liu family has become a prominent family in Jiangcheng, and their status has significantly improved. Liu Jiangcheng certainly doesn't want to see a scandal within his family; it would be a disaster for everyone.
They certainly couldn't let outsiders laugh at their internal conflicts.
When Liu Ruyan made a mistake that forced Wu Tao to divorce her, Sun Wenli and Liu Jiangcheng were somewhat unhappy. However, Wu Tao wasn't anything special at the time, so they naturally sided with their daughter.
Even if Liu Ruyan divorces, she will not lack excellent men to pursue her; otherwise, Sun Wenli and Liu Jiangcheng would definitely not agree to their divorce.
Essentially, they still looked down on Wu Tao, thinking he was being a bit pretentious. Even if their eldest daughter hadn't actually cheated, he shouldn't have gone to such extremes.
At that time, the Liu family was high and mighty, and Wu Tao was an orphan without parents.
The original owner's choice to commit suicide was also related to his complaining to Sun Wenli and Liu Jiangcheng, who instead reprimanded him.
According to Liu Jiangcheng, the fact that an orphan like you could marry Liu Ruyan was a blessing from his family to Wu Tao.
If the Liu family hadn't been without a son and were planning to find a son-in-law who would actually live with the family, how could Wu Tao, with his qualifications, have possibly married Liu Ruyan?
Hearing Liu Jiangcheng's words, the original owner felt ashamed, indignant, and saddened. Coupled with Liu Ruyan's ruthlessness, the original owner ultimately chose suicide. This was also due to the original owner's extreme personality and related to his childhood experiences.
Wu Tao is not the original owner of this body. He only has two kinds of people in his heart: enemies or his own people.
All those who harmed the original owner will receive retribution. Chen Bin was the first, Liu Ruyan was the second, and Liu Jiangcheng was the third.
Chen Bin has now died unexpectedly, and Liu Ruyan has chosen to follow Wu Tao, so Wu Tao naturally won't refuse.
However, it will be difficult for Liu Ruyan to get what she wants, at least Wu Tao will not really treat her as his woman.
Once betrayed, never to be used again. Wu Tao didn't intend to leave her behind, but how he would use her was another matter entirely.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I have no intention of ruining my relationship with my younger sister. I just want to stay by Xiao Tao's side, no matter what our relationship is."
"No, I disagree. Liu Ruyan, you should give up now."
"Hmph, Liu Jinshi, I've already given you enough face. Don't push me to the brink of destruction."
Seeing that their eldest daughter was determined to get involved in their younger daughter's relationship with Wu Tao, Liu Jiangcheng and Sun Wenli could only try to persuade her.
Ultimately, the four of them reached a consensus: Wu Tao's girlfriend outside the home would still be Liu Jinshi, but at home, the two sisters would each be the other's woman.
Although Liu Jinshi was somewhat unwilling to let Liu Ruyan succeed, she also knew that Liu Ruyan would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Regardless of what Liu Ruyan did today, the fact is that she has had relations with Wu Tao again.
If Liu Jinshi continues to obstruct the other party from being with Wu Tao, Liu Ruyan might really have to fight to the death.
For Wu Tao's sake, Liu Jinshi couldn't possibly let Liu Ruyan do that. She was Wu Tao's girlfriend now; their fates were intertwined.
When Wu Tao woke up the next morning, he saw Liu Ruyan with a radiant smile on her face.
Liu Jinshi seemed rather sullen, and Wu Tao knew what was going on, but pretended not to.
Liu Jiangcheng and Sun Wenli both pretended that nothing had happened.
Wu Tao pretended to ask Liu Jinshi what had happened, and Liu Jinshi naturally made up an excuse to change the subject.
Liu Ruyan privately messaged Wu Tao, asking him to come to their old home for a get-together when he had time.
Wu Tao replied with only one word: "Okay."
When Liu Ruyan saw the message on her phone, she instantly smiled broadly, feeling that she had finally won Wu Tao's love again.
She knew she didn't hold much of a place in Wu Tao's heart right now, but that didn't matter. As long as she tried to repair the relationship, Wu Tao would eventually accept her.
She was Wu Tao's wife, and this identity was what Liu Ruyan cared about most now. She would absolutely not stand by and watch Wu Tao abandon her.
As for her younger sister, Liu Jinshi, Liu Ruyan didn't care at all. She believed that she understood Wu Tao better than Liu Jinshi did, and although Liu Jinshi had made mistakes, Wu Tao definitely still cared about her.
She's just holding a grudge about her past betrayal. These things will fade over time, and sooner or later she'll become Wu Tao's wife.
Liu Ruyan was so confident because she felt that Wu Tao was still, deep down, a "simp" who liked her.
If Wu Tao knew what Liu Ruyan was thinking now, he'd probably laugh himself to death. If the original owner of this body were here, Liu Ruyan's scheme would be quite correct, but unfortunately, he isn't.
Julie, president of Black Angels, has recently become a household name in the United States.
Wu Tao had previously promised to let President Julie manage 350 million US dollars, something President Julie had been eagerly anticipating for a long time.
After obtaining Wu Tao's authorization, she immediately invested the funds in batches into dozens of stocks that she favored.
By using short selling and buying, the paper profit has reached nearly 500 million US dollars in just a few months.
Seeing how impressive President Julie was, Wu Tao immediately agreed that if the profit exceeded 50%, he could give her 10% of the profit as a bonus.
Wu Tao's words completely excited President Julie.
President Julie has always been ambitious and hopes to achieve upward mobility in her career through her own efforts.
Wu Tao is offering too good a deal now. If she really turns 350 million into 700 million or even 1 billion US dollars...
At that time, CEO Julie will be able to receive 10% of the profits, which will allow her to directly jump into the ranks of billionaires.
To achieve this goal, President Julie worked tirelessly, spending every day in her office researching various materials.
Wu Tao doesn't actually care whether the $350 million will make money or not, since Toutiao's valuation has now exceeded $5 billion.
With the successful development of Douyin version 1.0, we're just waiting for the right opportunity to launch it.
Those big investment banks certainly wouldn't have imagined that Wu Tao had already started a new business and created other products while Toutiao was booming.
Today's Headlines has been online for almost two years now, and its global user base has now exceeded 800 million.
With the world's largest number of internet users, monthly revenue of over 50 million US dollars, and an annual total revenue of 600 million US dollars, Toutiao has achieved its current success.
Wu Tao has initiated the listing process for Toutiao on Nasdaq through Goldman Sachs, and the process is progressing smoothly.
After the Chinese New Year, in May 2013, Toutiao will officially go public and ring the bell.
Meanwhile, Toutiao's valuation has surged again, exceeding 10 billion US dollars.
The investment banks that invested in Toutiao have already celebrated with champagne many times over.
