Huo Jincheng looked over, his cold eyes devoid of warmth. When he wasn't smiling, the area from his brows to his eyes appeared particularly sharp.
Those with insufficient mental fortitude would be intimidated by his powerful gaze.
Jian Dan felt her mind go blank under Huo Jincheng's stare.
Secretary Ye, standing beside Huo Jincheng, lowered her voice, "That is Jian Dan, your wife's cousin. She should be here regarding the bankruptcy of the Su Family."
Huo Jincheng indifferent, withdrew his gaze without a glance and directly bent down to enter the car. Secretary Ye glanced at Jian Dan, suddenly remembering that she had come to plead for something, but it was already too late.
“Mr. Huo! I am Jian Yunong's cousin! You can't be so heartless; Jian Yunong has lived in my home for so many years, and you didn't spend a dime to marry her. Now you're even going after her family's company?”
Such words were truly lacking in grace.
Clearly here to plead, yet putting on such a high-and-mighty demeanor.
Ye Mei looked at Jian Dan with an expression of disdain, a mocking smile curling at the corners of her mouth before she bent down to enter the car.
“Mr. Huo, will your wife cause trouble for you? After all, this is her family that raised her.”
Ye Mei had investigated Jian Yunong. The information indicated that after her husband passed away, Jian Yunong's mother did not return to the Fog Family, but continued to live with the Jian Family. A single mother and orphan, of course, they relied on the money from the Jian Family for their living expenses.
Huo Jincheng coldly lifted his lips, “No need.”
Ye Mei glanced at Huo Jincheng. He truly did not take this matter seriously; this man looked incredibly handsome when he was ruthless...
In a man's world, women are merely embellishments; what does it matter to sacrifice the family of Jian Yunong?
Ye Mei admired Huo Jincheng's ruthlessness; she even hoped he would be even more ruthless.
From her understanding of Jian Yunong, it was easy to imagine how shocked and heartbroken Jian Yunong would be when she learned the truth. After all, she seemed so emotional and sensitive.
A patient could hardly withstand such stimuli.
Ye Mei slightly curled her lips; the relationship between Huo Jincheng and Jian Yunong collapsed much faster than she had imagined.
...
That day was destined for Jian Yunong to be unable to finish reading that book in peace.
Jian Yunong received a call from the head of the Jian Family, the person who once threatened to beat her to death now spoke in a low and submissive tone, "Jian Yunong, no matter what, we are still family. Even if there are things we did wrong, we are doing it for your own good. Don't you think? If we were just strangers, why would we bother to meddle? You can't just cut ties with the Jian Family because we were strict with you. Have you forgotten how much effort your father put into the Jian Family's factory? Your mother held on for so many years, refusing to let go..."
As he spoke, his tone changed again, revealing his true self as he stood on a moral high ground, criticizing all actions and people that did not align with his interests.
The fox's tail was showing.
"Your mother is gone, leaving us with a mess. You absolutely cannot ignore this; you have to take responsibility."
Jian Yunong was almost laughing in anger as she slammed the phone shut. "So my mother worked so hard for so many years, and in your eyes, it counts for nothing? To you, it was all just trouble that hindered you? Don't forget, if it weren't for my mother's hard work over the years, you might not even have a mess to deal with! The ones dragging their feet are you! Not my mother! If it weren't for you useless parasites, would my father have died so early? Why did my mother suffer so much that she ended up with cancer? Did you ever ask her if she needed help while she was undergoing chemotherapy? Every time you came, it was all about money—money—money, with your sarcastic remarks. My mother had to muster her spirit to deal with all the problems you created!"
"Jian Yunong! Do you have any upbringing at all? How dare you call your elders parasites? The Fog Family still has the face to call themselves a scholarly family. Look at your self-proclaimed noble Professor Grandfather; what kind of people has he raised? Not a single woman knows how to behave!"
Jian Yunong's long-suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment. "Was it wrong to call you parasites? If it weren't for you constantly causing trouble, my mother wouldn't have passed away at such a young age! She got cancer because of you! You heartless wretches! I won't say a word in your favor. That damn company should have gone bankrupt a long time ago."
"You've gone mad! You ungrateful wretch! If the Jian Family goes bankrupt, do you think you'll be any better off? Where can there be unbroken eggs under a collapsed nest? Do you think you're worthy of being with Huo Jincheng?"
This was worth saying, and Jian Yunong took a sip of coffee, realizing she hadn't argued with anyone in a long time. "I married Huo Jincheng because of the marriage contract with the Fog Family. Not because I'm the daughter of the Jian Family. You always lecture me about having self-awareness. I see you don't quite understand that principle. Just think about it: how could something as rotten as the Jian Family possibly be worthy of Huo Jincheng? You don't even qualify to hold his shoes. You put your old face up to him, and he'd think it's dirty just to polish his shoes."
On the other end, the person was truly infuriated by Jian Yunong, gasping for breath like an old bellows.
"Please take care of yourself, elder. Although it's a bit sad now, it's alright. After all, it's just bankruptcy. You still have some money left, right? I hope you live a long life so you can see the Jian Family fall apart completely, worse than an ordinary family. That would be truly tragic. I'm also afraid that after you die, you won't have the face to go down and explain to the esteemed ancestors of the Jian Family. Better to continue living like a dog. Those were your words to me back then; now I pass them back to you."
The voice on the other end changed to that of a woman, likely indicating that if the head of the Jian Family heard a few more words from Jian Yunong, she would really lose her temper.
"Jian Yunong, have you lost your mind? Is your sanity intact? Can you think like a normal person? Don't you realize how disrespectful Huo Jincheng is being towards your family? Yes, our relationship isn't good, but that's an internal conflict. However, what Huo Jincheng is doing is looking down on you and not taking you seriously. Don't be foolish. If you lose this value, what good days do you expect in the future?"
"Jian Dan cousin?"
"Yes." Jian Dan suppressed her anger.
Jian Yunong smiled slightly. "What you're saying does make sense. But you've forgotten one premise: although I share the surname Jian, I really am not part of your family. I support any decision my husband makes."
Jian Dan trembled with anger. "What are you showing off for? What face do you have to show off love? Your husband is out with another woman, and you're still pleased with yourself. Go wash your hair and see if that water is green! Do you really think you're something special?"
