Xie Jiaying's head was spinning after being dumped by her fiancé and brutally beaten by her older brother.
When her sisters woke her up from her reverie, they were furious.
She didn't blame Brother Gu, so why is Xie Ming acting so arrogantly?
Besides, those shares were part of her dowry left to her by her parents, so why should Xie Ming have the right to manage them?
Furthermore, her engagement was arranged by both families, so why should Xie Ming decide for her?
Once she realized what was happening, Xie Jiaying was filled with anger and wanted to settle scores with someone, but unfortunately, her good brother had already left the banquet hall.
"Xie Ming! Stop right there! Come back here!"
Xie Jiaying shouted towards the door, hoping the person who had disappeared in the hall would reappear. Seeing no response, she lifted her skirt, kicked off her shoes, and chased after him.
Her only thought was to bring her older brother back as soon as possible; she didn't want the engagement to be broken off. If Xie Ming could just apologize to Brother Gu, then what had just happened could be forgiven.
Noticing the commotion behind him, Xie Ming thought of his stepsister. He automatically slowed down, waiting for her to catch up.
"Xie Ming! Xie Ming!"
His annoying younger sister shouted a few more times before Xie Ming finally stopped at a corner.
He waved to the people around him, and his assistant stepped aside to stand guard, clearly knowing that his boss was about to reprimand someone.
After stopping, Xie Ming stood quietly for a while before the people who had chased after him saw him.
"Xie Ming, the Xie family doesn't belong to you alone. What right do you have to make decisions for me? You have no right to touch what Mom and Dad gave me. Do you think you can control my life just because you're my older brother? Let me tell you! You're dreaming! And you'd better go back and apologize to Brother Gu right now, or I'll never acknowledge you again!"
As soon as she stood still, Xie Jiaying unleashed a torrent of words, which calmed her anger by half and gave her a sense of triumph.
Xie Ming smiled gently, then quickly grabbed the white neck that was swaying in front of him and slammed him against the wall.
"You idiot, aren't you quite the talker? Did you get shit in your mouth inside? You like using the Xie family's reputation to clean up your mess? Don't you even know if you're qualified!"
His voice was icy cold, and he lifted the person up without any hesitation.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Xie Jiaying struggled to pry open the hands gripping her neck, inadvertently leaving several deep nail marks on Xie Ming's hands. Even so, the large hands that were choking her did not loosen their grip at all.
At this moment, she had no doubt that if she said anything else, her brother would strangle her.
"What are you doing? I just want you to know what you are! Let me tell you straight, the Xie family is mine, all of it is mine! You better stay put, and I'll give you all the respect you deserve. But if you dare to do anything... hehe~ I don't think my sister is anything important either!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jiaying's tears started falling uncontrollably.
Since her parents passed away, her older brother has taken care of her meticulously, if not meticulously, but at least he can be called a "good brother".
Why is he treating me like this now? Is it all because of that little thing that just happened?
This is far too stingy. How can he face his parents and the shareholders of the Xie family like this?
Xie Jiaying felt that her brother was cold and heartless.
"Stop your little schemes! I used to play the good older brother and play along, but I never expected you to be such an idiot. Since you're so happy to be an idiot, then don't show your face anymore! Got it?"
Xie Ming's gaze was so intense it could freeze a person to death. Xie Jiaying was so frightened that she nodded unconsciously, no longer trembling.
Seeing that the person had become obedient, Xie Ming loosened his grip, and the person who was standing against the wall on tiptoe immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Help our Miss Xie away!"
After speaking towards the corner, Xie Ming took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, threw it into the nearby trash can, patted his arms, and left.
The assistant, barely daring to breathe, emerged from the corner, quickly helped the man up, and followed Xie Ming.
Xie Ming, who was walking in front, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person following behind him without even wearing shoes.
Look! It's cured!
Forget about being love-struck, unwavering loyalty, and sisterly affection! They just haven't encountered the villainous male lead yet.
Look! With just a casual move, that woman whose mind is full of men no longer has time to think about that ungrateful wretch inside.
As expected, those who can't be taught need to be disciplined, and if one time isn't enough, two.
The brother and sister, rushing back with all their might, had no idea that Gu Haosen was standing there like a dumbfounded idiot.
After the Xie siblings left, he hadn't even recovered from the shock when people started coming up to say goodbye.
Everyone present knew that Yu Huan was about to undergo a major change, and they all politely wanted to leave. Several CEOs who had previously expressed interest in cooperation even secretly slipped away, leaving only their assistants or secretaries to clean up the mess.
It wasn't until the last guest left that Gu Haosen finally realized that the Xie family might be going up against him.
He hadn't expected Xie Ming to know so much about what happened more than ten years ago. So why had he pretended not to know?
Was he waiting for him to slip up? He's a hypocrite, a treacherous and cunning man.
Can't you just pretend you don't know? You've made yourself lose face so badly today, aren't you afraid of the Gu family's retaliation?
Moreover, the problem is whether Xie Ming really intends to proceed with the equity transfer. If he is truly so ruthless, his family will lose absolute leadership over the Gu family.
If he resists, Xie Ming can simply apply for asset preservation, and the entire Yu Huan will be at a standstill. So what should he do? Gu Haosen's expression grew increasingly grim.
His eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with another idea. It seemed he needed to focus his efforts on Xie Jiaying again. With his charm, he believed that woman would definitely give in.
He absolutely could not relinquish power, so he had to grit his teeth and sacrifice his virtue first.
Once he gets his hands on those shares, he'll deal with the Xie siblings.
He'll have to make do with Youyou for now, but he'll definitely make it up to that kind and gentle girl once he's in power.
Having made up his mind, Gu Haosen calmed down and dealt with the situation he was about to face with composure.
The brother and sister's car slowly drove forward. The Xie family had long since moved to the largest wealthy district in Jiang City.
After getting into his car, Xie Ming made a series of phone calls, and with each call, Xie Jiaying's eyes became a little redder.
Has her brother really gone mad? Is he going to break ties with the Gu family?!
"Brother!" Xie Jiaying quickly grabbed her brother's arm when she saw him about to make a phone call.
"You're leaving the country tomorrow. Stay abroad during this time. If you dare to contact that adulterous couple or let them know your whereabouts, I'll break your legs."
Xie Ming had completely lost the ruthlessness he displayed in the hotel. At this moment, his tone when speaking to her was even somewhat doting, which terrified Xie Jiaying.
Her brother wasn't like this before. Is she dreaming?
Xie Jiaying pinched her leg hard. Ouch! It hurt! It wasn't a dream!
