"Too late!"

Jian Yixue didn't even glance at Jian Mingpeng, as if she couldn't hear him, and continued to play with her long nails.

Seeing Jian Yixue's attitude, Jian Mingpeng was furious.

Perhaps he was too angry, because his heart started to ache slightly. He looked pained, clutched his chest, and slumped back into his chair.

Jian Jiaojiao, who had been looking down, noticed the commotion beside her and turned around to see her father's pained expression.

A look of anxious concern immediately appeared on his face, and he asked in a flustered manner, "Dad, what's wrong? Is your heart bothering you? Where did you put your medicine? I'll go find it."

Despite the pain, Jian Mingpeng pointed to a drawer next to his desk.

Seeing this, Jian Jiaojiao immediately understood. She quickly opened the drawer, took out the pills, and gave them to Jian Mingpeng. Jian Jiaojiao stood aside obediently and worriedly, soothing Jian Mingpeng's breathing.

Jian Jiaojiao only breathed a sigh of relief when Jian Mingpeng's expression returned to normal.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm. She didn't want to lose her current wealthy and luxurious life, and her father couldn't be allowed to get into trouble.

She currently owns no shares in Jane's Company.

My mother told me that Dongfang Tinglan had it notarized when the company was first established. The notarization stated that if both of them passed away, all their assets would automatically belong to Jian Yixue. Because of Dongfang Tinglan's death, this notarization could not be revoked.

Jian Yixue had 20% of the shares left to her by her mother, but Jian Yixue was unaware of it.

She knew this because her mother tricked her father into revealing the information to her.

She can only rely on her father's love now, and try her best to play the role of a thoughtful and sensible daughter. Who knows, one day she might gain her father's favor and be able to get some shares, so that she will have something to rely on when her father is gone.

Otherwise, the 50% stake in the Jian family held by her father would automatically belong to Jian Yixue, and she wouldn't get a single share.

Thinking of this, Jian Jiaojiao became even more jealous of Jian Yixue.

Turning her head, she looked at Jian Yixue, who remained completely unmoved in her seat, her face showing a worried expression that looked like she was about to cry.

"Sister, you know Father has a heart condition, how could you make him so angry? Aren't you trying to kill him?"

Jian Yixue wasn't unaware of the commotion. She had glanced at Jian Mingpeng out of the corner of her eye when he slumped back down, then looked away and continued playing with her nails.

Judging from Jian Mingpeng's appearance, he must have suffered a heart attack. However, she is not a saint, and she does not intend to take action.

In her past life, in order to gain Jian Mingpeng's meager fatherly love, she did countless favors for him with Ye Mohan.

But he still only praised Jian Jiaojiao, completely ignoring himself.

Even if Jian Jiaojiao did nothing, in his eyes she was still his good daughter.

Even if you open your heart completely, you won't receive a single bit of care.

Now, she no longer expects to receive that meager amount of fatherly love from Jian Mingpeng.

In this life, she lives only for Ye Mohan.

She doesn't care even if everyone criticizes her.

Her heart can only hold those who are good to her.

Jian Yixue stopped playing with her nails, looked up, and stared at him with a cold, aloof gaze, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"What does his life have to do with me! If I should be grateful, it should be to my mother! Ten months of pregnancy, one day of childbirth, five years of nurturing—what does that have to do with Jian Mingpeng!"

Jian Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment, unable to find a reasonable rebuttal. After a moment of silence, she thought of something and said, "Then Dad is also your father. The blood flowing in your veins is always family with your father."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue scoffed and remained silent.

Now that they say they're family, she didn't see anyone speak up for her when they drove her away as a child.

She just wanted to chuckle twice.

Sitting in his office chair, Jian Mingpeng was furious and said coldly, "If the Jian family falls, do you really think you can stay out of it? Don't you think Ye Mohan will look down on you because of your status? Don't forget, you are still a married-out daughter of the Jian family!"

Jian Yixue couldn't help but find Jian Mingpeng's words amusing.

"You should be glad that if there were a way to get rid of this disgusting blood in the world, do you think I would let it exist?"

If she could, she would love to have all the blood in her body replaced.

She found his blood disgusting!

Fortunately, half of it belonged to her mother, so she didn't feel disgusted!

Jian Mingpeng gripped the chair armrests tightly, his eyes fixed on Jian Yixue with a venomous gaze, as if he were looking at an enemy.

Are you sure you don't want to help the Jane family?

Why should I help?

Jian Yixue rolled her eyes at Jian Mingpeng, as if she were looking at an idiot.

That was your mother's hard work!

Jian Yixue paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then sneered, "I can help you, but I need half of the shares of Jian's Group in your possession as an exchange."

She wanted to protect her mother's hard work if possible. However, she also wanted to see how Jian Mingpeng, who valued money and power above all else, would choose to sacrifice it.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng frowned deeply. Just as he was about to say something, Jian Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to him, couldn't sit still any longer.

"Jian Yixue, you're asking for the moon! You have no idea how hard Dad has worked to build the Jian family into what it is today, how much he's suffered. And you want half of it right off the bat? You're dreaming!"

Jian Jiaojiao was very flustered, afraid that her father would agree to Jian Yixue's request.

In that case, the shares held by Jian Yixue, plus those given by Dongfang Tinglan, would amount to nearly half of the Jian family's shares.

This is no different from simply handing the company over to Jane Yixue.

She disagreed; she was also her father's daughter, so why shouldn't she have one?

Jian Yixue glanced coldly at Jian Jiaojiao, her tone icy and indifferent as she sneered, "Jian Mingpeng hasn't even spoken, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think the Jian family is necessarily yours? Why don't you come and save the Jian family, and I'll give you the shares?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao was furious inside, but on her face she looked aggrieved and on the verge of tears.

"Sister, you know perfectly well that I had no such intentions, how can you slander me?"

After saying that, she actually shed tears.

She acted as if Jian Yixue had really bullied her.

Seeing this, Jian Mingpeng had no choice but to shout, "Enough! This has nothing to do with your sister."

As for the shares you mentioned, that's impossible.

Jian Mingpeng understood that if he transferred half of his shares to Jian Yixue, plus the shares given by Dongfang Tinglan, Jian Yixue would own 45% of the Jian Group's shares.

The board of directors will surely notify Jian Yixue to attend the future shareholders' meeting, and then Jian Yixue will know about the shares that Dongfang Tinglan left for her.

At that time, his situation will not be any better than it is now, and he may even have to change hands as chairman.
