"Ahem..." Jiang Yongxian cleared his throat awkwardly, then changed his tone, "Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry. I was just being a bit too protective of Dad and didn't fully consider your feelings."
"I apologize to you, brother."
Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at Jiang Yongxian with amusement.
No wonder Jiang Yongxian was able to thrive in the officialdom in his past life; he was truly flexible and adaptable.
Before Jiang Qiaoqiao could speak, Jiang Yongxian continued, "Qiaoqiao, I see there's a rest area over there in your shop. Let's go over there and sit down to talk."
Before Jiang Qiaoqiao could agree, he went over and sat down.
After sitting down, he pretended to look around the store, and finally nodded like a leader inspecting a work site, saying, "Hmm, Qiaoqiao, your store is nice, very tasteful!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao just looked at him indifferently and didn't respond to his words.
After rambling on for a while, he felt a little embarrassed and stopped rambling.
Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Qiaoqiao, your older brother and Dad came to see you today because they have something important to discuss with you."
He told Jiang Qiaoqiao about the Jiang family's situation.
After that, he analyzed the benefits that the Jiang family would receive after he helped them buy the cement factory.
Finally, she said earnestly, "Qiaoqiao, I know you have some resentment towards your parents because of some things that happened before."
But you need to consider the bigger picture. You have to understand that we are all family, connected by blood. Only when our family is doing well will Huo Beixiao not dare to underestimate you or bully you.
"And think about it, when Huo Beixiao bought this cement plant, it was only worth 200,000. Now, with my brother acting as an intermediary, we can get the Jiang family to pay that amount to buy it from Huo Beixiao."
As Jiang Yongxian spoke, he held up an eight.
After saying that, he picked up the thermos he had brought, opened it, blew on the tea leaves on the surface, and took a sip.
He dragged out his words, as if he were doing something of great significance, and slowly said, "Qiaoqiao, think about it carefully, and also persuade Huo Beixiao. If this succeeds, it will be a win-win-win situation. Why not do it?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Since you're talking so well, why don't you just go and talk to Huo Beixiao directly? Is it because you don't want to?"
Her clear black and white eyes looked coldly at Jiang Yongxian. "Jiang Yongxian, you don't need to talk to me about blood ties. I'm not worthy of your bloodline."
In her past life, she was killed by Jiang Yiran and dismembered by Peng Cuiying and Jiang Yong'an.
Why was it so difficult for Yang Jianguo to seek justice for such a cruel and heinous murder? It was because Jiang Yongxian was secretly pulling strings behind the scenes.
Apart from Jiang Yongchang, none of the other members of the Jiang family are good people!
"Please leave right away. Otherwise, it won't be pleasant if I kick you out in the street later."
Upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, Jiang Yongxian's brows furrowed tightly.
He looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with the gaze of someone in a superior position, his eyes accusing Jiang Qiaoqiao of being ungrateful.
He stood up, holding his breath. "Fine, Jiang Qiaoqiao, let me tell you, if the Jiang family buys the cement plant through the normal process, they won't give you that much money. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for not warning you!"
After saying that, Jiang Yongxian picked up his thermos and stormed off in a huff.
Jiang Jiahua looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao, then at Jiang Yongxian's back.
He hurriedly picked up the thermos containing the chicken soup and chased after Jiang Yongxian.
After leaving Jiang Qiaoqiao's shop, Jiang Yongxian couldn't help but complain to Jiang Jiahua, "Dad, I didn't believe what Mom said about Jiang Qiaoqiao before."
Now that I've met her, I realize she really is an ungrateful wretch; no wonder Mom doesn't like her.
Jiang Jiahua said helplessly, "Boss, if you ask me, you're being too hasty. She's always been a troublemaker, and now you've gotten into this mess with her... sigh!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongxian calmed down and frowned deeply, saying, "Dad, did you ask Mom to help her adoptive mother?"
Jiang Jiahua nodded, "Yes, she does listen to her adoptive mother quite a bit. I was thinking of having your mother get closer to her adoptive mother first. If her adoptive mother is willing to help mediate, I guess she won't be so hostile towards us."
Jiang Yongxian thought for a moment, then leaned close to Jiang Jiahua's ear and said, "Dad, let's do this..."
After listening, Jiang Jiahua's eyes lit up. "Okay, I think it's a good idea."

"Qiaoqiao, did Jiang Jiahua come to cause you trouble again?"
As soon as Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yongxian left, Huo Beixiao rushed to the store.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was planning to go find Huo Beixiao.
Huo Beixiao must be informed as soon as possible that the Jiang family is eyeing the cement plant.
In her haste, she approached Huo Beixiao, instinctively grabbed his hand, and pulled him upstairs. "Brother Xiao, I have something to tell you."
Huo Beixiao glanced down at his hand, which was being held tightly by the little woman, and a pleasant smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Even after Jiang Qiaoqiao finished explaining the purpose of Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yongxian's visit, he still couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Jiang Qiaoqiao originally wanted to discuss serious matters with him, but seeing his silly grin, she couldn't help but get anxious. "Huo Beixiao! I'm talking to you about serious matters! Don't laugh!"
Looking at the little woman's pretty face when she got angry, Huo Beixiao just wanted to pull this beauty into his arms and kiss her hard.
In fact, he did just that.
He grabbed Jiang Qiaoqiao's small hand with his large hand, and suddenly pulled her into his arms with a strong force, his lips landing on her rosy lips.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was speechless.
She braced herself against his chest and pushed him away. "Huo Beixiao, stop messing around. I'm talking to you about this!"
Huo Beixiao's deep eyes met Jiang Qiaoqiao's big, round, bright eyes. He seized the opportunity to steal a kiss before saying, "Wife, don't worry. As long as I don't want to sell my businesses, no one can force me to."
"I'll handle this, don't worry." He affectionately ruffled Jiang Qiaoqiao's soft hair, then couldn't resist leaning close to her ear and seductively asked, "Wife, can I kiss you now?"
Before Jiang Qiaoqiao could even refuse, he had already begun his conquest.
Jiang Qiaoqiao could only glare at him helplessly.
This jerk of a man is getting harder and harder to please.
Last night he was saying that the main structure of their house in the provincial capital was completed, and asked her to take some time to see how to decorate it.
Once it's all set up, they can move in.
While Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao were making out, Qin Haiyang was also working hard with Jiang Yiran.
Jiang Yiran was heavily pregnant, and although the two of them didn't dare to be too unrestrained, Jiang Yiran's joyful sounds could still be clearly heard by Jiang Yong'an next door.
Jiang Yong'an didn't even realize that he had clenched his fists. He couldn't help but fantasize about Jiang Yiran's submissive behavior towards him...
