My father rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing this scene, he was heartbroken, aging several years in an instant.
“Dad,” I supported him, “please don’t be upset. Some people aren’t worth it.”
Jiang Hong looked at me, hesitating to speak, but ultimately just patted my hand. “Jiang Yao, the company… it’s yours from now on.”
I nodded.
After clearing out Aunt Liu, the biggest parasite, Jiang Group finally got back on track.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the President's Office, I gazed down at the city below. The sunlight was blinding but felt incredibly refreshing.
My phone rang; it was Chen Shiyan.
“Is it resolved?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
“Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
“Sure.”
I hung up the phone, unable to suppress a smile.
With Aunt Liu’s downfall, Bai Lian’s situation worsened significantly. Losing her support and financial source made even basic living a problem for her.
I heard she had tried to seek out Gu Mingxuan, only to be chased away by his parents wielding brooms. It made sense; the Gu Family was struggling to keep themselves afloat and had no time to deal with her, the so-called “star of misfortune.”
She attempted to reconnect with her former “friends,” but they either avoided her or mocked her coldly.
When the walls come crashing down, everyone pushes; she truly experienced the harshness of reality.
One day, while I was in the office handling documents, I received a call from an unknown number.
“Jiang Yao! Get out here!” It was Bai Lian's hysterical voice.
I frowned. “What do you want?”
"I’m downstairs at the the Jiang! You better come down! Otherwise, I’ll expose all our 'secrets'!" she threatened.
Secrets? Between her and me, aside from her scheming against me, what other secrets could there be? I was curious to see what tricks she had up her sleeve.
I arrived at the company entrance. Bai Lian stood at the door, her hair disheveled, dressed in cheap clothes, and wearing a wild, reckless expression on her face.
Upon seeing me, she rushed forward. "Jiang Yao! You bastard! You sent my mom to prison; you ruined everything for me! I want us to perish together!"
Several security guards quickly stepped in to block her.
"Bai Lian," I looked at her in that state, feeling no sympathy—only disgust. "You’ve brought this upon yourself. What does it have to do with me?"
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you?!" she screamed. "If it weren't for you, my mom wouldn't be in jail! I wouldn't have been expelled from school! I wouldn’t be left with nothing like this!"
"Your mother embezzled funds; that's a fact. What does that have to do with your expulsion?" I asked.
"You're still playing dumb!" Bai Lian glared at me fiercely. "Did you report me for academic dishonesty? Did you say my thesis was plagiarized?!"
I was taken aback. This matter… I really hadn’t done it. But…
