hey stood on either side of Xiang Wan, vigilantly watching the door.Towards the end, A-wai became the most composed one. After all, her situation was already bad enough; how much worse could it getIf...Jiang Qingran bit her lip and looked at him, the last glimmer in her eyes disappearing, replaced by a layer of water.

She had always felt that she was different from Xiang Wan. She was shrewd, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, while Xiang Wan was the opposite—a spoiled rich second generation who knew nothing and considered nothing.

But today she realized that she and Xiangwan were no different. When they became burdens, everyone would abandon them without hesitation.

Grandpa Lin ignored her and instead raised his voice to ask the crowd, "Did you all remember"

No one spoke. He asked several times more, and only got a response when he insisted.

"Grandpa said I changed like this for a man, and he warned everyone, 'What about you Aren't you now losing your face for a woman…' "

Jiang Qingran's words hadn't finished —

Slap!

Old Man Lin slapped her face, "Don't compare me to you, you have no idea what I'm doing!"

He was getting very emotional, his voice cracking on the last few words.

All fell silent.

Jiang Qingran covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief, tears streaming down her cheeks. As for Old Master Lin, he didn't even look at her and left with a cold face.

"You lame cripple, if you can't speak, just shut up!" Lin Tianting shouted a few insults at her before rushing off to chase after Old Master Lin.

Seeing this, Mother Jiang's face changed color. "Qingran, how can you speak to your grandfather like that We made this decision for the good of the family. Just don't be the CFO, okay"

"Since you're not at the company anymore, it's your brother, father, and grandfather who are in control. The company won't fall into anyone else's hands! How can you be so unreasonable today"

Jiang's father stood aside, tugging at her sleeve, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Don't I know" Jiang Qingran, who had lived to this age, had never quarreled with her family like this before. She sneered, wiped away a tear, and ran out.

I don't understand her!

I don't understand her at all!

It turns out they're just like Xiang Jianguo. Once someone becomes useless to them, they'll ruthlessly kick that person out! No matter how much she had done in the past, or how well she behaved, they choose to forget it all!

She will make all these people at home regret it, and she will make He Ye Ye and Xiang Wan regret calculating against her! This is what they owe her!

At the Sichuan restaurant, Xiangwan and He Hanchuan were having dinner when a sudden vibration sound came from his phone. He picked up his phone and glanced at it, then passed it to her with a slight frown, "How come he's still in contact with you"

The caller ID shows Cao Yan.

"There's something I need his help with." Xiangwan gave a concise reply, then took the phone and answered, "Hello, Mr. Cao."

"Well, okay, please do as we discussed before. Um... okay, thank you. I'll transfer the money to your card later."

向晚 hung up the phone.

He began eating in silence, waiting for her to explain. However, after a while, she just handed him her phone and continued eating without saying a word.

"Cao Yan is a pretty good detective. Meng Lan told me before that many girls have a fantasy of wanting a policeman, soldier, or detective as their partner when they're young." He put a chopstick of food in her dish.

>

He moved his gaze away, wiping his mouth with a tissue. "I'm just more curious about the thoughts of a little girl like you. I haven't understood them before. Lovers only understand each other better, so they try to minimize conflicts."

"Oh, I might be different from other girls. I've always dreamed of marrying a domineering CEO since I was little," Xiang Wan said.

He Hanchuan looked up at her.

Towards the end, her chopsticks fell onto the boiled pork slices. She paused for a moment and picked up a piece for him, "That domineering CEO is called He Hanchuan."

"But I wasn't always the CEO," He Hanchuan said, twirling the piece of meat with his chopsticks without eating it.

Towards Evening threw a piece of meat into her mouth, "But you're destined to be."

She glanced at the slices of meat he was flipping over and over, and asked, "Why aren't you eating I remember you like this, don't you like it anymore"

"The first time you served me food, you were reluctant to eat it." He Hanchuan's voice was as usual, but it seemed to carry a hint of slight grievance.

Towards the end of her sentence, Xiang Wan quietly pursed her lips without saying anything more. She simply added a few more dishes to his plate.

Only then did He Hanchuan stop fussing over the slice of meat and elegantly picked it up, "What kind of matter needs Cao Yan's help Is it related to Qingran"

"Mhm." 向晚 nodded, but didn't offer further explanation.

He Hanchuan asked again, "Let me guess, is it still related to that maid you drove away Her name was Li Yan, right"

向晚 stopped eating, looking at him with a complicated expression. This time, she didn't answer.

"If it were the old you, chasing Li Yan away impulsively would be perfectly normal. But now you wouldn't do that. Treating her so ruthlessly and driving her away will make her resent you. She will definitely find a way to harm you."

He Hanchuan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

“I can’t outsmart you and Jiang Qingran, so it seems I don’t need to be so frustrated.” They overthink things; maybe she just made one move, and they already predicted all her actions.

Such meticulous thinking is truly terrifying, admirable, and repulsive. Before them, she feels like a person with no privacy at all.

He took her cup and poured her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. "You don't have to be so self-deprecating,"

Wa waited patiently for him to continue, sipping on her short-term juice.

"This time, you didn't include Qingran in it First, the truth about the car accident was exposed, and Jiang Shi Group's stock price plummeted. Then there's this incident. You used pregnancy to scheme against her, directing Grandfather's anger towards her."

It was her prepayment of the remaining balance to the Xiang Corporation that ultimately caused the Jiang Corporation to lose the bidding. This series of events led to the Jiang and Lin families temporarily choosing to disown her.

He Hanchuan smiled faintly, drawing a conclusion, "Her state of mind has exploded. She will definitely not let go of this opportunity against Li Yan this time."

He raised his juice and held it out to her, bumping it against hers, "Come on, let's toast to my little darling's success."

" ... Thank you." Xiang Wan was still not used to being called pet names like "baby" or "darling". She took a few large gulps of her drink, and the temperature on her face finally dropped a bit.

After dinner, He Hanchuan sent her back to the company before driving back to He Group.

When Xiang Wan entered the Xiang Group, it wasn't yet time for work. Several employees were gossiping.

Have you heard He Yongming was drugged at lunch today by a few rich second-generation guys who are into men!

"Huh Where did you hear that from I have no idea."

"It's not hearsay, is it Someone blacked out He Yongming's WeChat account and then live-streamed the whole process in his Moments using text and pictures. Those few second-generation rich admit to it, and He Yongming also knows he was targeted, but he didn't dare to say a word!"
