Chapter 107: Mind Your Own Business

"good."

He spoke each word clearly, his voice hoarse but unusually clear.

"I don't need any clues."

"But don't even think about touching my company again!"

After Jiang Yanbai finished speaking, he no longer looked at Jiang Dongwei.

He turned around and left with big strides, without any reluctance.

The living room instantly returned to dead silence.

Jiang Dongwei looked at his back, his deep eyes dark and unclear.

"Dad, what's going on?"

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor was light and casual, and a figure turned in from the entrance.

Jiang Jinnian was wearing a well-tailored bright-colored suit with a cynical smile on his face.

"Did he agree?"

Jiang Dongwei didn't say anything.

Jiang Jinnian walked to the sofa, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"I knew it would work."

He shook his wine glass, looking very proud.

"So when can I take over the company? Is tomorrow okay?"

Jiang Dongwei then slowly raised his eyelids, his tone calm and composed.

"We all underestimated him."

"Gu Baozhu failed to succeed. Jiang Yanbai's vigilance is much stronger than we thought."

He casually pointed to the black USB drive on the coffee table.

"He just came to return this."

The smile on Jiang Jinnian's face froze.

He saw the USB drive, grabbed it in his hand and held it tightly.

"Dad, what should I do?"

The ease on his face disappeared, leaving only worry.

"You said you would give me the company. So, it looks like I won't get it before my birthday?"

Jiang Dongwei picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly.

"Give it, of course I have to give it."

"But it will take some time."

Jiang Jinnian immediately had another idea.

"Isn't he still thinking about the mother who ran away?"

"You're threatening him with this!"

Jiang Dongwei's expression became a little complicated.

"You thought I didn't mention it?"

"His reaction was both more intense and calmer than I expected."

He paused, as if recalling the confrontation.

"He was very confident that his company could turn things around."

"As for his mother... I've sent people to investigate for so many years, but every time I find a clue, it's broken."

Jiang Jinnian frowned tightly.

"Even if I really can't find it, I can still use this to hang him!"

"Give him some vague hope, and I'm not afraid he won't give in."

Jiang Dongwei shook his head and let out an ambiguous chuckle.

"He's not the same as he used to be."

"I'd like to keep him hooked, but this fish won't bite now."

He put down his glass and leaned back into the soft sofa.

"Not only did he not take the bait, he even had the audacity to use our company to blackmail me."

"Now, we can only wait and see what happens."

Jiang Jinnian's face turned very ugly.

The USB flash drive in his hand was almost crushed by him.

The duck that was in your mouth just flew away like that?

He was unwilling to accept it.

How come that bastard Jiang Yanbai can be in charge of such a big company, while he, the legitimate son, has to wait here?

When Jiang Yanbai returned home, the huge villa was filled with deathly silence.

The ticking of the clock in the living room struck his mind one by one.

He stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor, his heart burning with anger. When he closed his eyes, he saw Jiang Dongwei's face and the pills that Gu Miaomiao had secretly put in his milk.

He hated this feeling of powerlessness and hated that woman even more.

Jiang Yanbai couldn't bear it any longer, walked over and kicked the door open.

The door banged against the wall. Gu Miaomiao, who was sitting by the bed reading documents, shuddered with fear.

She was wearing pajamas and when she saw it was him, she quickly put down what she was holding and stood up.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

This hypocritical look completely ignited him.

Jiang Yanbai rushed forward, grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall.

"I can't live without the medicine you gave me now! Are you still pretending?"

His voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from his throat: "I want your life!"

Gu Miaomiao was instantly out of breath and tried to pry his wrists with both hands, but it was useless.

Her face flushed red, tears were about to come out, but she still stared at him intently.

"If you have something to say, please speak nicely... You can check the medicine I gave you at will. They are not harmful at all..."

Her throat was sore from the blockage that her words were incoherent, but her eyes did not give in at all.

I can't let him misunderstand me, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.

Jiang Yanbai paused slightly when he heard this explanation.

His eyes were sinister, lingering for a long time between the woman's pale neck and red lips, before he slowly loosened his hand.

Gu Miaomiao covered her neck, gasping for breath, and took another step back to put some distance between them. Then she added softly, "Your mood has stabilized a lot recently. You can try to fall asleep slowly without medication."

Jiang Yanbai looked at the person who was so close to him. This time, he did not use violence, nor did he push the other person away.

He found that his anger was gradually dissipating, leaving only an inexplicable fatigue, as if even questioning had become redundant.

Why is this woman so docile now?

Didn’t you used to love stepping on other people’s noses?

Gu Miaomiao took the opportunity to reach out and carefully rub his solar plexus, using very light force but accurately finding the sore spot.

"You've been under too much pressure recently, and there are so many things going on in the company. I will stick with you through this."

With my soft palm placed against my forehead, the slight pain was actually relieved a lot.

I don't know if it's just a psychological effect, but I always feel that as long as I have someone by my side, I can get through even the abyss...

"How's things going at the company?"

His voice was low and a little hoarse, with some unconscious thoughts hidden in it, which he was unwilling to show.

Gu Miaomiao withdrew her fingers and responded calmly.

"Online public opinion has cooled down. I've had Ghost Hand arrange a team of online trolls. Tomorrow, after Li Yuewei's interview, we'll release a clarification document simultaneously. Someone will speak up for her."

The plan was meticulous, without a single hesitation. This was the decisiveness that only the eldest daughter possessed. Even now, having fallen into disgrace and become a prisoner, when it came time to show her true colors, she never hesitated!

Jiang Yanbai finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your hard work." The words of thanks were stuck in his throat and turned around for a while, but he couldn't utter them out.

It just became a simple reminder: "Mind your own business in the future."

Hard on the outside but soft on the inside, this is the only remaining unwillingness to compromise between them, and also the last bit of decency for each other.

The room fell into a brief silence.

The air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, making people drowsy.

Gu Miaomiao took the initiative to move sideways and flatten the pillow next to her: "Since I really can't sleep well tonight, do you want to make do here for a while?"

The invitation is frank and straightforward, without any shyness.

"Anyway, there are still a lot of things we need to deal with tomorrow. You need to rest, and I'll stay with you."

Gu Miaomiao knew that the current situation was approaching the end of her plan, and she felt that she couldn't let anything disrupt it.

She then pretended to be docile.
