Yin Ruohong frowned slightly.
He looked into the girl's eyes. Although she was ill, her bright eyes told him that she already had the answer in her heart before she asked the question.
She wanted to help Qin Minzhi and also seek justice for herself.
“Have you thought this through?” Yin Ruohong said in a deep voice, “Once these things are exposed, it will be like airing your Yao family’s dirty laundry in public. Even you yourself will be implicated.”
"I'm not afraid." Yao Wanyin smiled and shook her head. "I'm already a dying person, what is there to be afraid of?"
"But I can't just stand by and watch them bully my mom!"
"Who said you're about to die? You're doubting my medical skills!" Yin Ruohong chuckled. "Aren't you afraid your sweetheart will be upset if she hears something like that?"
Yao Wanyin froze, a rare blush suddenly appearing on her pale face.
"That Xiaobai is pretty good, she cares about you even more than Yao Zheng!" Yin Ruohong took out the syringe and skillfully inserted it into her vein.
“My dad has never cared about me.” Yao Wanyin laughed self-deprecatingly. “Because of my congenital deficiency, he always thought I was a burden. He didn’t want to pay the millions of yuan in medical expenses every month. If it weren’t for my mom’s insistence, he probably would have just left me to fend for myself.”
Yin Ruohong couldn't stand this kind of thing.
Aren't daughters supposed to be pampered and spoiled? If it were Jiang Can, let alone a few million in medical expenses, even if it were tens or hundreds of millions, even if it meant going bankrupt, he would still...
Ptooey! Ptooey!
Yin Ruohong's expression changed, and she immediately stopped herself from having such thoughts.
Why would you want your daughter to get sick for no reason?
“Uncle Yin, I know my dad,” Yao Wanyin continued. “He cares about his image and has always maintained the image of a good husband and father. He would never publicly admit that he has an illegitimate daughter.”
“So that’s his fatal flaw.” Yin Ruohong smiled approvingly. “You’re a really smart kid.”
"I just don't know if I'm using my intelligence in the right way..."
"Don't think too much about it." Yin Ruohong patted her head. "What you need most is rest. I believe these things will be resolved properly in the end!"
...
The day Yao held a press conference, it caused a stir in most of the city.
Yao Manning stood in front of the full-length dressing mirror, having specially chosen an evening gown embroidered with a phoenix pattern. The bright yellow dress was adorned with thousands of small diamonds, making it exceptionally luxurious.
I heard that the design of this dress comes from a famous embroidery family in Yangcheng.
As Yao Manning listened to the compliments around her and watched the housekeeper and maid kneel before her to put on a pair of gorgeous satin high heels for her, her sense of pride reached its peak.
Who will dare to say she's an illegitimate child, adopted from an orphanage?
Who dares to say she's not good enough for Huo Zhixing?
Ha, even if Huo Zhixing doesn't marry her, she can find a family more powerful than the Huo family to marry into.
But to make Jiang Can uncomfortable, she will continue to pester Huo Zhixing!
Yao Manning curled her lips slightly, revealing a smug and sinister smile.
At the start of the press conference, Yao Zheng announced in front of everyone that he was handing over the Yao family business to Yao Manning.
People offered their congratulations, and Yao Manning socialized among the crowd, while Yao Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
"Mr. Yao," his business associates approached, raising their glasses, "like father, like daughter! Miss Manning is clearly CEO material!"
"In the future, our Manning will need everyone's continued support!"
"We're all friends, no need to stand on ceremony!"
Yao Zheng toasted with them, but at that moment, the doors opened and the hall fell silent instantly.
Only the tasseled crystal chandelier on the hall ceiling made a slight clinking sound.
With a smile on her face, Jiang Can walked straight towards Yao Zheng and his daughter.
Yao Manning's expression changed, and she was about to lash out when Yao Zheng secretly stopped her.
"Her worth isn't what it used to be... We'll be seeing each other all the time from now on, so please bear with her for a while!"
Yao Manning took a deep breath and looked coldly at Jiang Can.
"Such a joyous occasion today, why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Can said with a nonchalant smile. "Miss Yao, is there still a grudge between us?"
"Mr. Jiang, you're joking. These kinds of unresolved issues usually happen between close female friends! You and I don't even seem to be friends!"
"Oh... best friend?" Jiang Can smiled. "That's perfect. I've brought your best friend along today. Whatever 'unresolved' you two have, it's best to untangle it in front of everyone!"
"What did you say?" Yao Manning's heart skipped a beat.
Yao Zheng stepped forward, narrowing his eyes. "Miss Jiang, today is an internal matter for the Yao family. If you sincerely wish to offer your congratulations, we certainly welcome you. But if you..."
“Of course I know I have no right to interfere in Yao’s affairs,” Jiang Can said seriously. “But unfortunately, I am the person in charge of the western suburbs land project, and I must be extremely cautious with my partners!”
"Uncle, are you really going to hand over the Yao family to Yao Manning?"
"Jiang Can!" Yao Manning couldn't help but exclaim, "Did you come here to cause trouble today? Don't try to intimidate me with your position as a person in charge. Do you think I wouldn't dare to call security to kick you out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two groups of people suddenly appeared at the door. They were all extremely fierce, carrying either iron bars or machine guns, and their black T-shirts had the character "Lu" printed on the back.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned cold and somber.
Huo Zhixing and Lu Lishan walked in at the same time, the sound of their leather shoes on the marble floor sounding like bullets being chambered.
Everyone was stunned and stood motionless.
A quick-thinking reporter had just raised his camera, but before he could even press the shutter button, someone shot and smashed it to pieces!
"I'm sorry to all the media reporters present for being wronged!" Lu Lishan said coldly. "Anyone who dares to spread what happened today is going against me, Lu Lishan! They should think carefully about what the consequences will be!"
"You...you..." Yao Zheng panicked, his face turning deathly pale. "What do you want to do?"
Huo Zhixing stepped forward and hugged Jiang Can, giving her a gentle smile.
His piercing gaze then swept over the crowd, settling on Yao Zheng and Yao Manning's faces.
"I just heard someone wanted to kick our Can Can out?" he said jokingly. "Uncle Yao, is that true?"
Yao Zheng's legs trembled, and he remained silent.
"You probably really have no idea what kind of good deeds your daughter has done, do you?"
Huo Zhixing curled his lips, his eyes seemingly frozen in ice. "It's alright, we'll tell you everything one by one!"
"Zhixing," Jiang Can said with a faint smile, "let's call Miss Yao's best friend over first. The two of them might have some 'unresolved issues,' and we need to explain things to them in person!"
"Okay," Huo Zhixing said gently, "I'll do whatever you say!"
Jiang Can gave a signal, and someone immediately went out to bring people away.
Yao Manning's heart was pounding. Soon a person walked in, his face covered up, with only his eyes showing.
It was precisely those two eyes that almost made Yao Manning scream.
"Mona...you're Mona?"
