Ruan Tang laughed triumphantly, "Qiao Wanwan, didn't expect this, did you? The Huo family will protect me. Don't even think about making me go to jail!"

Qiao Wanwan said coldly, "You said it yourself, you are a member of the Ruan family, and the Ruan family is my mother-in-law's family, so what I am dealing with today is a family matter."

Qiao Wanwan's expression gradually turned cold. "Jiang Dong, go out and ask the Huo family. Who do they think they are, daring to interfere in my family affairs!"

Ruan Tang trembled violently in fright!

"Yes." Jiang Dong quickly went out to relay the message.

"Ruan Tang, do you think you can get away with anything by climbing up the Huo family's high branch?" Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa, looking at her disdainfully. "Today, whichever high branch dares to save you, I'll break it!"

Ruan Tang's fingertips trembled slightly as she hurriedly looked to Zhan Jingting for help, "Jingting, isn't Wutong Bay your home? You are the head of the family, so why are you letting Qiao Wanwan boss people around here!"

"I did all this to save you. If I lose face, the Ruan family loses face, and you lose face too. We share the same fate!"

Zhan Jingting sat lazily in the single sofa, his long legs crossed, quietly watching Qiao Wanwan handle the matter.

Only then did the man finally speak slowly, "You overestimate yourself."

Ruan Tang was stunned!

Zhan Jingting said calmly, "On the way back just now, I called the Ruan family and asked them to sever ties with you. The Ruan family immediately drafted a statement, published it in the industry, and stated that you have no blood relation with the Ruan family."

“Now, you are no longer a member of the Ruan family. Whether in the past or in the future, our honor and disgrace have never been linked.”

Ruan Tang's legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, her exquisitely made-up face turning pale inch by inch!

"Jingting, you can't treat me like this! I haven't done anything wrong, why are you doing this to me...?"

“Even now, you still don’t think you’ve done anything wrong, which proves you’re beyond redemption.” Zhan Jingting looked at her. “Jiang Dong, do as Madam says.”

"yes."

Just as Jiang Dong was about to order someone to drag Ruan Tang away, another bodyguard walked in. "Master Zhan, Madam, Young Master Wen is here."

"Lixuan?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Why is he here so late? Please invite him in."

"yes."

Wen Lixuan rushed over, "Qiao Qiao."

"Lixuan, is something the matter?"

“Yes.” Wen Lixuan looked at Ruan Tang sitting on the ground. “I want to plead for Ruan Tang.”

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "You have no connection with her at all, why are you pleading for her?"

“I have no connection with her, but I do have a connection with the Huo family,” Wen Lixuan explained. “Our first film was invested in by Mr. Huo. He had the foresight to find me. Although the film’s success was a win-win situation, I still owe him a favor, both morally and logically.”

"Now that Old Master Huo needs my help, I can't refuse. Qiaoqiao, please let Ruan Tang off the hook for my sake, okay?"

"No way." Qiao Wanwan refused decisively. "She schemed against my son, and I absolutely cannot tolerate it. She must pay the price today. Taking legal action is already me being lenient!"

“Qiaoqiao, listen to me,” Wen Lixuan said. “Ruan Tang did kidnap Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu wasn’t hurt. Even if we send her to go through legal procedures, with the Huo family protecting her, she won’t get a long sentence.”

"After weighing the options, I think it's better to take this opportunity to repay Mr. Huo's favor."

"Sure enough, you don't feel the pain until the knife is in your own flesh." Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly. "Lixuan, that's your favor, not mine. We're friends, that's true, but you can't be so generous as to let someone who wanted to kill my son go free!"

Wen Lixuan closed his eyes briefly and calmly said, "Qiaoqiao, haven't I done you a favor? I was the one who took you in and helped you make movies."

Qiao Wanwan looked at him in disbelief, "Lixuan, are you crazy? You're actually using this to morally blackmail me? You really want to exonerate Ruan Tang like this!"

“Yes.” Wen Lixuan said firmly, “I must take Ruan Tang away today. Qiao Qiao, just this once, just this once. If she dares to do it again in the future, you can deal with her then.”

“She has done a favor for Old Master Huo, and Old Master Huo has done a favor for me. This time, I brought her away safely. Old Master Huo has repaid the favor he owed her, and I have repaid the favor I owed Old Master Huo. I will definitely repay you in the future.”

"I don't need your repayment!" Qiao Wanwan's chest heaved with anger. "Xiao Jiu suffered terribly in the Zhao family since he was a child. From the day he came back to my side, I vowed that I would never let him suffer any more grievances."

"Today, Ruan Tang drugged him and took him away, threatening his life. I must seek justice for my child! Today, not even the King of Heaven himself can take Ruan Tang away!"

"Qiaoqiao, don't be so stubborn. If this matter isn't resolved smoothly, it won't benefit the Dijing Group. The Huo family is not someone to be trifled with."

"The Huo family provoked me first!" Qiao Wanwan's eyes were icy cold. "I don't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, they're asking for death and don't blame me for being impolite!"

Just as Wen Lixuan was about to speak, Xiao Jiu, who was lying next to Qiao Wanwan, slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her little hands.

"Baby, you're awake?" Qiao Wanwan suppressed her anger and asked gently with a smile, "Is anything bothering you?"

Xiao Jiu pointed to her head.

"It's a headache, isn't it?"

Xiao Jiu nodded gently.

"Mommy will massage you in a bit, and the pain will subside soon."

Xiao Jiu nodded obediently.
