"Jian Mingpeng, you heartless bastard, you actually kicked me out! I've worked so hard to manage the Jian family for you all these years. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've still put in a lot of effort. And now you're kicking me out because of this vixen? Or is it that you still can't forget that vixen after all these years!"

When Jian Yixue heard Qiao Yaxiang's slanderous words about her mother, she looked at Qiao Yaxiang with a cold gaze. Zou Chen, who was standing to the side, instantly felt the pressure around him drop a lot.

Hearing Qiao Yaxiang's reckless words, Jian Mingpeng's face turned sinister. "Shut up. Nobody's kicking you out. Get out of here. I have things to discuss."

Jian Mingpeng didn't want to argue with Qiao Yaxiang in front of outsiders, and he was also afraid that if she stayed there, she would reveal a lot of their private conversations.

He couldn't afford to offend Jian Yixue right now, since the Jian family still needed her help, so he had to suppress his displeasure and speak to Qiao Yaxiang with considerable restraint.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yaxiang, still angry, didn't understand Jian Mingpeng's meaning and continued to argue relentlessly.

"What are we talking about? You still want to give the shares to that vixen's daughter, don't you?"

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past Zou Chen's eyes and crashed straight into the woman who had just spoken.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, emotionless voice rang out.

"If I ever hear another word from your mouth that slanders my mother, I won't hesitate to cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

Qiao Yaxiang, who was waiting for Jian Mingpeng's reply, suddenly felt her vision go black, followed by a sharp pain in her forehead.

"Ah..." Qiao Yaxiang subconsciously reached up and touched her forehead, feeling something flowing down, and then took her hand down.

When he saw the bloodstains on his hands, he didn't immediately realize what had happened before he heard Jian Yixue's words.

Qiao Yaxiang turned to look at Jian Yixue, only to meet Jian Yixue's icy gaze. Qiao Yaxiang, who wanted to burst into curses, felt a little frightened.

Then she turned to Jian Mingpeng, clutching her wound and crying, "Master, I am her elder no matter what, how dare she hit me! Master, you must stand up for me!"

Qiao Yaxiang cried, her face streaked with tears.

At this moment, she had long forgotten her argument with Jian Mingpeng, and all she could think about was that Jian Mingpeng could get justice for her.

Little did she know that Jian Mingpeng was destined to never offend Jian Yixue for her sake.

It wasn't just because he needed Jian Yixue's help today, but also because he only realized today that he didn't seem to know Qiao Yaxiang.

Things happened very quickly. Before Jian Mingpeng could even speak, he saw Jian Yixue pick up an ornament from the table and throw it at Qiao Yaxiang. He didn't have time to stop her at all.

Upon hearing Qiao Yaxiang's words, Jian Mingpeng glanced at Qiao Jianyixue with displeasure, then looked at Qiao Yaxiang, who was crying and complaining beside him.

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

Jian Yixue's gaze was icy, one leg crossed over the other knee, leaning back in her office chair, her nonchalant demeanor radiating a chilling aura.

"I suggest you control your barking beasts first before you talk to me."

Otherwise, I can't guarantee that she'll still be standing here complaining so readily if it happens again.

Qiao Yaxiang was already furious when she heard Jian Mingpeng's words, and when she heard Jian Yixue imply that she was not human, she became even more enraged.

"You filthy scoundrel, I should never have let you go back then, so you can still come and cause me trouble now."

Jian Yixue sneered, "Too late. This woman who rose to power as a mistress has quite the nerve, but unfortunately, she's not very capable."

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng immediately shouted, "Get out! Don't make me say it a second time, or you can just wait for the divorce papers. You won't get a single penny from the Jian family, including your daughter!"

They had said these words to each other countless times in bed, but that didn't matter.

But now that Qiao Yaxiang has spoken recklessly to Jian Yixue, that's a different story.

Even if we were to say something, we couldn't say it now.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang immediately became unhappy.

She was beaten, verbally abused, and then threatened with divorce by her husband to stop her from pursuing the matter. Qiao Yaxiang felt extremely wronged and angry.

"Why?! She hit me!"

Jian Mingpeng's gaze toward Qiao Yaxiang gradually grew impatient, and he was about to say something.

Jian Yixue snorted coldly from the side, her voice chilling.

"I can decide the fate of the Jian family. If you have that ability, you can also ask him to protect you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang was taken aback.

Has Jane's been forced to this point?

Qiao Yaxiang looked at Jian Mingpeng with a puzzled expression, trying to find the answer on his face.

Jian Mingpeng's face was sinister, and he looked embarrassed and ashamed that his secret had been exposed.

"Get out, and don't make me say it again. My patience is limited."

Qiao Yaxiang seemed to understand why Jian Mingpeng was acting this way, but she still didn't want the Jian family's shares to fall into Jian Yixue's hands.

"Ming-ge, we can think of other ways, it's not certain..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jian Mingpeng slammed his hand on the table, his tone extremely displeased, "Get out!"

If there were other options, why would he have approached Jian Yixue?

Once Ye Mohan spoke, no one in the capital dared to lend him a helping hand.

Even less would anyone want to offend the Ye Group, which controls a large portion of the economy of the entire Z country, for the sake of a second- or third-rate company like the Jian family.

They couldn't afford to offend them, and the Jane family was even more untouchable.

The Jian family is now in dire straits; otherwise, he wouldn't have made a deal with Jian Yixue.

Qiao Yaxiang's face was extremely ugly. Looking at Jian Mingpeng, who was already furious, she gritted her teeth and left the study.

Jian Yixue watched this good show from beginning to end. "It seems that Mr. Jian must have said a lot of good things about me behind my back to make your lover talk so fluently."

"Do we, father and daughter, have to be so confrontational?"

Jian Mingpeng looked at Jian Yixue in front of him and was certain that she did not know what had happened back then, so he decided to play the emotional card.

Jian Yixue sneered, "Father and daughter? If there really is a father like you in the world, then Heaven must be blind."

Jian Mingpeng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Jian Yixue's words.

What did she know?

No one should know what happened back then; he kept it so secret.

She was definitely trying to frame him.

"What do you mean by that? Everyone in the capital knows that you, Jian Yixue, are my daughter, Jian Mingpeng."

"Who knows? Everyone in the capital knows now that your daughter, Jian Mingpeng, is not me."

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he had been overthinking things.

He still thought she knew... about that past.

It turns out she was just bothered by how he had mistreated her over the years.

"That's because you haven't been in the capital for years. If you want, I can host a banquet to publicly acknowledge that you are my daughter, Jian Mingpeng."

"There's absolutely no need for that!"

Upon hearing Jian Mingpeng's words, Jian Yixue immediately refused.
