Jiang Yongxian instinctively tried to stand firm.

But before he could even stand up, another fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down on him.

At the same time, Yang Jianguo's angry voice rang out, "Jiang Yongxian, you bastard! How dare you slander Qiaoqiao like this! I'll beat you to death!"

Yang Jianguo was in Yun County on a business trip when he happened to pass by and saw Zhu Dong. He planned to greet Zhu Dong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the car, I heard that bastard Jiang Yongxian slandering his sister.

Yang Jianguo used to farm and hunt in the countryside. Even after coming to the city, he did business every day, carrying large iron barrels to make braised food, which weighed dozens or even hundreds of kilograms.

His strength was far beyond that of Jiang Yongxian, who had been pampered since childhood and lived off women after graduating from university.

His two punches knocked Jiang Yongxian to the ground.

Just as he was about to deliver another punch to Jiang Yongxian, who was lying on the ground, Zhu Dong stopped him, saying, "Comrade Yang, let me handle this."

As Zhu Dong spoke, he stepped directly on Jiang Yongxian's hand, and said to him with a sinister and ruthless expression, "Jiang Yongxian, if you can't say anything nice even with this tongue in your mouth, I can cut it out for you!"

Zhu Dong used to do business in the gray area with Huo Beixiao, and he carried that bloodthirsty and ruthless aura.

At this moment, Jiang Yongxian seemed to be frozen in place by his imposing aura.

He even genuinely believed that Zhu Dongzhen was capable of cutting out his tongue.

But in an instant, he realized that in today's society governed by the rule of law, Zhu Dong and Yang Jianguo's beating of him was illegal, let alone cutting off his tongue.

A strong sense of humiliation welled up inside me.

He gritted his teeth, instinctively wanting to utter harsh words to Zhu Dong and Yang Jianguo.

But just as those words were about to come out, he suddenly realized that Huo Beixiao had already given all his assets to Yang Qiaoqiao.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to divorce Huo Beixiao through Jiang Yiran and obtain Huo Beixiao's property.

The only option is to find another way to get those assets back from Yang Qiaoqiao.

He gritted his teeth, displaying his usual forbearance, and said, "Comrade Zhu, Comrade Yang, I'm sorry, I actually said that on purpose to test Comrade Zhu."

Qiaoqiao is my own sister. How could I possibly spread rumors and damage her reputation?

I know she divorced Huo Beixiao and received so much property as compensation; I'm overjoyed for her..."

"Ha, you'd be happy for Qiaoqiao?" Yang Jianguo sneered, glancing at Jiang Yongxian with disdain. "Who would believe your nonsense!"

However, he regained some of his composure at this point and pulled Zhu Dong, who was still stepping on Jiang Yongxian's hand, away.

"Brother Dong, let's ignore him."

As he spoke, he gave Zhu Dong a look.

If Jiang Yongxian really wants to take this seriously and call the police, they will take action.

While they might not be detained or sentenced, fines and compensation to Jiang Yongxian are unavoidable.

Not only will it waste time, but you'll also lose your hard-earned money to a disgusting person like Jiang Yongxian. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted. It's utterly disgusting.

Zhu Dong wasn't as impulsive as Guo Tao. Now that Yang Jianguo had stopped him, he naturally knew he couldn't lay a hand on Jiang Yongxian anymore.

When Jiang Yongxian got up, Zhu Dong and Yang Jianguo had already driven away.

His eyes gleamed as he looked at their car.

Especially the minivan driven by Yang Jianguo.

This morning, Jiang Yongxian tried to play the role of a good older brother in front of Yang Qiaoqiao, hoping to make Yang Qiaoqiao regret her actions.

At this moment, I was filled with hatred.

I hate Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying for being so stupid. For the sake of Jiang Yiran, they pushed away their capable younger sister, Yang Qiaoqiao.

I hate Yang Qiaoqiao even more for being so immature and disregarding blood ties.

Even though Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying weren't very kind to her when she came back, she never considered that she had lived in someone else's home, in the countryside, for so many years, and had no feelings for them, and their lifestyles were completely different.

Even her biological parents don't know her well yet, so isn't it normal for them not to like her for a while?

As a daughter, why doesn't she know to try to please her own parents first?

If she hadn't been so assertive back then, and had instead tried to win over Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying first, their relationship with her wouldn't be in this state now.

If their relationship were even slightly better, he would be the one driving the car now, not Yang Jianguo.

After his initial resentment, Yang Jianguo quickly suppressed his emotions.

Thinking about these things now is pointless.

Now all of Huo Beixiao's assets are in Yang Qiaoqiao's hands. What he needs is to find a breakthrough and repair his relationship with Yang Qiaoqiao no matter what. Even if he can't get those assets from Yang Qiaoqiao in a short time, he must at least reach some cooperation with Yang Qiaoqiao and strive for some profits before he can go back to report to He Zhengguo.

After thinking it over, Jiang Yongxian realized that if he were to approach Yang Qiaoqiao, she wouldn't give him the slightest bit of face.

The only person in their family who had a good relationship with Yang Qiaoqiao was Jiang Yongchang.

After Jiang Yongxian figured this out, he called Jiang Yongchang.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, Jiang Yongchang was on vacation at home.

When Jiang Yongxian called, he was the one who answered the phone.

Upon hearing Jiang Yongxian's voice, he unconsciously frowned slightly.

In the past two years, after he married Yu Hanfei, his parents-in-law and Yu Hanfei's brother and sister-in-law have treated him very well.

After Yu Hanfei gave birth to her daughter, her mother-in-law continued to help take care of the baby so that the couple could work with peace of mind.

He also learned that true family members and relatives should support each other, not scheme against each other.

As for the Jiang family, he adhered to the principle of fulfilling his filial duties, but he would not concern himself with anything beyond that. Apart from sending Peng Cuiying thirty yuan a month for living expenses, he would avoid contacting them as much as possible.

However, he and Yang Qiaoqiao would occasionally keep in touch.

I know that Yang Qiaoqiao's business is growing bigger and bigger, I know that her adoptive mother has been taking care of her child, and I know that she and her adoptive parents' brother are supporting each other and the siblings' lives are getting better and better.

Sometimes he felt quite fortunate for Yang Qiaoqiao.

Fortunately, after Yang Qiaoqiao was replaced, she met some kind people.

Otherwise, if Yang Qiaoqiao had grown up in their dysfunctional family, her final outcome might have been very different!

Hearing Jiang Yongxian's voice on the other end of the phone, he felt neither annoyed nor happy.

"What is it?" he asked in a cold, emotionless tone.
