Chapter 674: 670. Liao Wei, watch yourself (Please subscribe and vote for monthly tickets)

Tom's family was once so glorious, but thirty years ago, it suddenly began to decline, which many people found very surprising.

"So you mean we have a grudge against Galaxy Capital?" Liao Wei asked, frowning slightly.

Tom nodded and said, "If you put it that way, that's correct, because several members of our family sacrificed themselves at the time, even Wells, who was held in high hopes and had long been designated as the successor, also sacrificed himself."

Wells was the designated heir back then, but the final result was still ruin, which shows just how crazy Zhang Ran's retaliation was at the time.

"Then..." Liao Wei was a bit confused; if that was the case, why did Galaxy Capital still invite them, and she didn't see any signs of anger or hatred on Tom's face.

Tom laughed and said, "Surprised that I'm not angry, let alone resentful?"

"A little," Liao Wei said truthfully.

Tom sighed, "I actually have to thank him for the achievements I have today; if it weren't for his retaliation back then, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current position."

"Furthermore, the whole affair back then was, generally speaking, us being used as pawns, and Zhang Ran was forced to fight back."

"Of course, there's no point in saying these things; the main thing is that Zhang Ran's strength has grown powerful once again."

"And he is no longer the individual he once was; he has his own interest group, and we have no way to settle scores."

Liao Wei asked curiously, "Then what exactly happened back then?"

Originally, Tom didn't want to talk about it, but seeing Liao Wei's curious expression and thinking that it wouldn't be long before Liao Wei divorced and they would get married, he decided not to hide it anymore.

"Simply put, there were signs back then that Zhang Ran was going to enter the oil market, and he had already cleared the way with various connections and relationships."

"You know, the situation back then was different from now; we were not allowed to let another person enter this market, especially a Huaxia person."

"Added to that, time was tight, and we didn't have much time to verify the truth of the matter; we also underestimated Zhang Ran at the time, which is why we ended up with that outcome."

Although Tom put it simply, Liao Wei heard a lot between the lines.

"Then what is our purpose tonight?" Liao Wei asked.

"Meet with Zhang Ran first and see; I don't have the qualifications to negotiate with him in detail," Tom said, spreading his hands.

Although Tom's status was already very high now, he still couldn't make real decisions, especially when facing Zhang Ran.

He was just a vanguard, paving the way so that things wouldn't suddenly fall into a stalemate.

If the talks really fell through, there would still be room for recovery; at worst, they could just punish Tom to let Zhang Ran vent his anger.

Tom understood this point very well, so his attitude had always been to remain non-committal and certainly not to provoke Zhang Ran and his people.

Liao Wei also understood the situation somewhat and didn't ask any more questions about it.

Time quickly reached the evening, and many people began to rush to the banquet venue; Wang Ya and the others were no exception.

Looking at the luxury cars everywhere, as well as the super-rich and CEOs of major capital groups they were familiar with, at this moment, Wang Ya felt for the first time the influence brought by this Galaxy Capital event.

Pusi Capital was already quite famous in the investment world and had very substantial capital, but here, they didn't dare to call themselves top-tier.

There were simply too many big shots gathered this time.

The representative for Pusi Capital began to lead them inside; this time, Yin Long was standing outside the door to welcome guests.

Zhang Ran was inside hosting the guests.

Yin Long welcoming them personally was more than enough; Yin Long himself was a great tycoon, and with his status as the helmsman of Galaxy Capital, no one would feel slighted.

Yin Long smiled and shook hands with the people from Pusi Capital, then looked at Wang Ya and said, "Haha, you didn't bring any stinky tofu today, did you?"

Wang Ya didn't expect Yin Long to speak to her specifically and hurriedly said nervously, "N... no."

"Don't be nervous, just a little joke," Yin Long said with a smile.

He also knew Wang Ya's identity—the daughter of a friend of Zhang Ran's from childhood. Given Zhang Ran's personality, Yin Long also knew that if Wang Ya wasn't the type of person who couldn't be helped or whom Zhang Ran detested, Zhang Ran would definitely help if he could.

Therefore, Yin Long's attitude had always been very good.

The person in charge of Pusi Capital specifically glanced at Wang Ya, and he realized that bringing Wang Ya along this time was truly the right move.

Just as they were about to go in, a group of people also arrived; when Wang Ya saw one of them, her expression instantly turned ugly.

The people who arrived were none other than Liao Wei and her group; at this moment, Liao Wei was holding Tom's arm, walking with a graceful gait.

Liao Wei also saw Wang Ya, and her arm stiffened for a moment, but she recovered instantly.

Tom naturally felt it and also saw Wang Ya; he patted the back of Liao Wei's hand to signal that it was fine.

"Liao Wei, watch yourself; you haven't divorced my dad yet," Wang Ya couldn't help it and whispered sharply.

At least she knew this wasn't a place where she could run wild, so her voice wasn't loud.

Liao Wei frowned and said, "Xiaoya, is that how you talk to me?"

"Heh, if you would hide it a little, I wouldn't talk to you like this." Although Wang Ya wanted to restrain herself, seeing this situation, she couldn't help it and couldn't stop herself from mocking her.

This was the first time she had treated Liao Wei this way; although she had treated her with cold eyes before, Wang Ya actually still had some expectations in her heart, but now that she had officially seen this scene, she had no expectations left.

"Xiaoya, you've grown up too; you should understand adult matters to some extent, and you also need to understand your mother," Tom said softly.

Wang Ya looked at him without speaking; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop herself from cursing.

"Sorry, Mr. Yin." Wang Ya looked at Liao Wei, who still hadn't let go of Tom's arm, and her expression was very ugly, but after looking at her leader, she finally apologized to Yin Long.

Yin Long was just slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's fine, small matter, don't worry about it, go on in."

Yin Long really didn't care about this; he had already learned some of the situation when investigating Tom and had guessed some of it himself.

Wang Ya looked at Liao Wei and finally just threw out one sentence: "Go divorce my dad tomorrow; my dad can't afford to lose face like this."

After saying that, she went inside with the Pusi people, leaving Liao Wei with a very ugly expression.

"Sorry, the child doesn't know any better," Liao Wei said with a forced smile to Yin Long.

Yin Long said indifferently, "It's fine, please go in."

Liao Wei was slightly stunned; what was going on? He was so kind to her daughter, but his expression suddenly changed toward her?
