me Let's go." He Hanchuan didn't look at her, withdrew his gaze indifferently, and turned to leave."Miss, Mr. He is blood-spitting!" The maid glared at He Hanchuan's back, her aura was fierce, but sh...Jiang Qingran bit her lip and looked at him, the last glimmer in her eyes disappearing, replaced by a layer of wateriness.

She always felt she was different from Hualian. She knew when to advance and when to retreat, while Hualian was the opposite—a carefree rich second-generation who didn't understand anything and didn't consider anything.

Today, she finally realized that she wasn't so different from Mo Xiangwan. When they became burdens, everyone would abandon them without hesitation.

Mr. Lin ignored her and raised his voice to ask the crowd, "Do you all remember"

No one spoke. He asked several more times before they finally responded.

"Grandfather said I became like this because of a man, and he also warned everyone, "What about you Aren't you now losing even your face for a woman…”

Jiang Qingran's words weren't finished yet——

Slap!

Mr. Lin slapped her face, "Don't compare me to you, you don't know what I'm doing!"

He was so emotional that his voice cracked when he shouted the last few words.

A deathly silence fell over the crowd.

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

"You cripple, if you can't speak, just shut your mouth!" Lin Tiantian yelled a few insults at her and then ran after Old Master Lin with a shriek.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother's face changed color. "Qingran, why are you talking to your grandfather like that We made this decision for the good of the family. Why don't you just step down as CFO"

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

Father Jiang stood aside, pulling at her sleeve, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Don't I know anything" Jiang Qingran, having lived this long, was at odds with her family for the first time. She sneered, wiped away her tears, and ran out.

I don't understand her!

They don't understand her at all!

It turns out they're just like Xiang Jianguo, once they find someone useless, they'll mercilessly kick that person away! No matter how much she had done in the past, or how well she behaved normally, they would choose to forget!

She will make all these people in the house regret it, and she will make Grandpa He and Xiangwan regret calculating her! This is what they owe her!

At a Sichuan restaurant,向晚 and 賀寒川 were having dinner when suddenly the phone vibrated. He picked up his phone and glanced at it, then handed it to her, his brow slightly furrowed, “How come you still have contact with him”

The caller ID is Cao Yan.

"There's something I need his help with." Xiang Wan replied briefly, taking the phone and answering, "Hello, Mr. Cao."

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

Yua hung up the phone.

He ate in silence, waiting for her to explain. But after a while, she just gave him her phone and continued eating without saying a word.

"Cao Yan's reputation as a detective is pretty good. Dreamland told me before that many girls have a desire to have a policeman, soldier, or detective as their partner when they are young and naive." He Hanchuan clipped a chopstick of vegetables for her.

向晚 stared at him for a while.

He shifted his gaze, wiping his lips with a tissue. "I'm just more curious about the thoughts of a young girl like you. I haven't had much experience understanding them before. Lovers only minimize conflicts by knowing each other better."

"Oh, I might be different from other girls. I've always wanted to marry a domineering CEO since I was young," Xiangwan said.

He looked up at her.

Towards Evening's chopsticks fell onto the boiled meat 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 gestured with his chopsticks at the piece of meat, not taking a bite.

向晚 put a piece of meat into her mouth, "But you are destined to be."

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

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

W向晚 nibbled her lips silently, only picking up a few more chopsticks of food for him.

Then He Hanchuan didn't fuss over the slice of meat, gracefully picking it up. "What kind of thing needs Cao Yan's help Is it related to Qingran"

"Hmm." Xiang Wan nodded, but didn't explain further.

"Let me guess," He Hanchuan asked again, "Is it related to that female servant you drove away Li Yan, right"

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

"If it were the old you, chasing Li Yan away impulsively would be perfectly normal. But you wouldn't do that now. If you so coldly send her away, she will resent you and will surely find a way to harm you."

He Hanchuan paused for a moment, then slowly said: "There must be something strange about things that are unusual."

"...I can't outsmart you and Jiang Qingran, it seems I don't need to be so discouraged." They overthink things, maybe she just started, and they already predicted all her moves.

Such meticulous thinking is truly frightening, admirable, and repulsive. In their presence, she feels utterly exposed and lacking privacy.

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

向晚 sipped her juice for a short time, waiting for him to continue.

"This time, you didn't include Qingran in the plan First, there was the car accident truth exposed, and Jiang Corporation's stock plummeted. Then there's this incident, you used your pregnancy to scheme against her, making Grandpa direct his anger at her."

"In the end, it was her prepayment to the Xiang Group that caused the Jiang Group to lose the bidding. A series of these events happened one after another, and the Jiang family and the Lin family have temporarily chosen to give up on her."

He Hechuan smiled faintly and concluded, "She's lost it. She won't let go of this chance to get even with Li Yan."

He raised his juice, extended it toward her, and touched glasses with her. "Come on, let's toast to my little darling's success first."

"Thank you." Xiang Wan was still a little uncomfortable with affectionate nicknames like "baby" or "darling." She raised her cup and took several large gulps, her face temperature finally dropping a bit.

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

When Xiang Wan entered the Xiang Corporation, it wasn't yet working hours. Several employees were gossiping.

"Did you hear He Yongming got drugged at lunch today by some men who like guys, and then a few rich second-generation dudes took advantage of him!"

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

“I heard that someone blacked out He Yongming's WeChat account and then used text and pictures in his Moments to live stream the whole process. Those rich second generations admitted it, and He Yongming also knew he was being targeted, but he didn't dare say a word!”
