What does it mean to have a terrible teammate? This is it. What did he do to deserve having two such scoundrels?

Father Xiao fairly slapped his second daughter as well: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out."

Everyone looked at her strangely, so it was obviously an affair. After the incident, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family tried to shift the blame to the man in an attempt to cover it up.

Xiao Cha covered her slapped face, looking embarrassed: "Dad, I was just telling the truth. Are you so biased that you have to hit me for saying something?"

Mr. Xiao staggered in anger, and Mrs. Xiao quickly supported him, her face darkening. "Xiao Cha, what are you doing making things worse? Shut up! Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

"Shameful? Who could be more shameful than me? What do you intend to do about this good daughter raised by your Xiao family?" Shen Xing roared, with the other members of the Shen family behind him also eyeing him menacingly.

Xiao Yue said nothing, but her beautiful eyes kept flowing with tears as she stared at Zhou Jin.

The two stared at each other until Zhou Jin closed his eyes and loosened his clenched fist.

Nie Kongsang narrowed her peach blossom eyes, underestimating Zhou Jin's feelings for Xiao Yue. She thought it would be a dog-eat-dog situation, but she never expected it would be a stupid, torturous love affair.

Just as Zhou Jin was about to speak, Kong Sang said, "You've been with my brother for many years, and I don't want him to worry about you again after he wakes up."

"If it really wasn't you, then tell the truth. I believe that my brother's men would never do such a despicable thing and embarrass him."

Zhou Jin swallowed back the words he was about to say, his eyebrows furrowing. He didn't care about his own life, which was worthless, but he couldn't let President Nie down.

Xiao Yue's expression changed slightly, and she choked up as she said, "Nie Kongsang, is it because I know about your affairs that you sent people to do this? I never meant to ruin your reputation, why are you doing this?"

Kong Sang sneered: "Xiao Yue, you can't clear your own name, so you're trying to drag me down with you. What, are you trying to distract me by saying something sensational about me? You're really smart."

"I've already had my blood tested. Whether I've been framed or not, the test results will clear my name. As for Zhou Jin, he's always been a member of the Nie family. You spoke up for him just now, were you afraid he'd implicate you?"

"Can't you just leave me alone for five whole years? I just happened to see you and Nie Jingxing when you were still a minor..." As if she had accidentally let something slip, Xiao Yue suddenly covered her mouth, bewildered and at a loss.

The onlookers gasped, their eyes turning strange. Although he wasn't her biological son, according to Nie Qu, the Nie family probably didn't know at that time.

Minors, siblings...

Lin Changli's face instantly turned cold: "If you don't want your tongue, you might as well cut it off."

Kong Sang pulled his raised arm back; this was not the place to fight.

"How about me? Tell me." The man's calm and magnetic voice made Kong Sang's expression change, and he immediately turned around.

With his handsome features and well-fitting dark suit, he still exuded an imposing aura, but he had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were darker than before, his gaze fixed on her.

Or perhaps they were looking at her arm linked with Lin Changli's...

Almost instinctively, she loosened her grip on his hand because of his gaze, but Lin Changli reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, embracing her completely.

She smiled and said, "Isn't this President Nie? I thought I was going to have a brother-in-law who was in a vegetative state. I never expected you to wake up. It's really a good thing."

Ignoring Lin Changli's provocation, Nie Jingxing approached, looking down at Xiao Yue and said, "Finish what you were saying."

Xiao Yue stared intently at the man she had liked for many years. Under his intense gaze, she actually smiled happily: "I saw you two siblings eating an ice cream together, and I've been envious for so long..."

What she envied was that Nie Jingxing later pulled Nie Kongsang into his arms and licked the ice cream that had accidentally gotten on the other's hand. She longed to be the one held in someone's arms, the one being ambiguous with him...

She knew that Nie Jingxing didn't want Nie Kongsang's reputation to be damaged, so she would grant his wish.

Xiao Yue laughed out loud, stood up gracefully, and tried her best to make herself the most perfect.

Standing in front of Nie Jingxing, she said, "I've liked you for five years. If you hadn't had that accident, I wouldn't have this engagement. Nie Jingxing, how many more years will it take for you to accept me?"

"Ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime, that's fine too. I'm mentally prepared for that."

Kong Sang glanced at Xiao Yue in surprise. As expected, she was a difficult woman to deal with. She really went all out and completely offended the Shen family. Well, that was the result she wanted.

She was on good terms with Si Yu and Lan Ye, so the Shen family was naturally her enemy. A marriage alliance between the two families would not be friendly to her.

Mr. Xiao roared, "You scoundrel! Are you under the influence of the drugs? Have you lost your mind? Your fiancé is Shen Xing! You're..."

Xiao Yue interrupted her father, saying, "Dad, no matter what the truth is today, do you think the Shen family will still agree to the marriage? This is perfect, let's just dissolve it directly."

"Also, no matter how you decide to deal with me, allow me to remind you that Xiao Cha is utterly useless. Since you have no other children, the future of the Xiao family will still be in my hands."

Mr. Xiao's expression changed several times as he looked at the Shen family. Just as he was about to say something to ease the tension, the Shen family members, unable to bear it any longer, sneered, uttered harsh words, and left, turning the engagement banquet into a joke.

Nie Jingxing's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unmoved by Xiao Yue's confession. He looked around and said, "Since everyone is here, I will announce something in advance."

"The Leisen family of R country has become a downstream family for the Nie family to sell the ninth generation of gene drugs. In the future, you will have another channel to purchase the ninth generation of gene drugs. There will be an official report tomorrow."

Everyone was shocked. So it wasn't the Leisen family that developed the gene drug themselves; it was the Nie family that was annexing foreign families from the very beginning.
