Before Jiang's parents returned to China, Jiang Xibai remained quiet and did not cause any trouble.
Qin Ge diligently took the money to treat Huo Beiyuan's leg, occasionally making a brief appearance at G University, and her life was quite peaceful.
Calm to the point of being boring.
Qin Ge originally intended to settle scores with Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng later, but not long after the incident in the cafeteria, Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng revealed online that they had been bullying classmates since junior high school, and had even driven a classmate to suicide by jumping off a building. Because of their family background, their family paid money to suppress the matter.
These old stories suddenly erupted, and public opinion turned Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng into pariahs. G University, unable to tolerate such morally questionable scoundrels, decisively expelled them.
Especially since there was a life lost in the process.
The police also came knocking, reopening the old case.
At the time of the crime, Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng were already 16 years old. If they are found guilty, they will likely face long sentences.
Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng's parents were also in a state of panic. Their family's company was closely related to people's livelihoods. Their son was exposed for bullying at school and his behavior was egregious. As a result, the products of the Chen and Zhou families' companies were boycotted by netizens with slogans, and their stocks plummeted. In addition, competitors attacked them, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy before long.
All I can say is that justice prevails and retribution is inevitable.
Heaven will not forgive the wicked.
The crimes committed by Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng, including the crimes their parents covered up for, will eventually come at a price they deserve!

"It's getting cold, the Chen and Zhou families are going to go bankrupt. Tsk~" Knowing that Huo Beiyuan was the one behind all this, and that the Chen and Zhou families went bankrupt so quickly because of Huo's manipulation and suppression behind the scenes, Qin Ge couldn't help but click her tongue in front of the man and sigh at the classic domineering CEO quote, a modified version of "It's getting cold, the king is going to go bankrupt."
Bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions, jail time... He's a master at playing the business game.
After undergoing several detoxification procedures recently, Huo Beiyuan's complexion has improved significantly. Previously, his skin was a sickly pale complexion that couldn't be concealed even with his strikingly handsome features, while his lips were a vibrant color, giving him the look of a vampire from a Western fantasy story—a sickly gentleman, handsome in a suit. But now that his complexion has improved, he looks more and more like a piece of beautiful jade that has been dusted off, revealing its original brilliance.
He realized that Qin Ge was teasing him. Although he didn't quite understand the "the king is broken when the sky is cold" joke that kids were using, it didn't stop Huo Beiyuan from expressing his opinion: "He deserves it. There's no need to sympathize with this kind of person."
Qin Ge snorted, "Why should I pity them?"
He just felt that someone had taken his job.
Qin Ge originally intended to deal with Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng, those two scumbags who had bullied the original owner and dared to look at him with such disgusting eyes, himself.
After all, the two men had committed numerous crimes, so many that they were practically sieves. With his methods, finding evidence wouldn't be difficult. Even if he were to deal with Chen Haoyu and Zhou Heng, he might not be able to bankrupt the Chen and Zhou families so quickly... but it was only a matter of time.
However, now that the perpetrators have received their due punishment and the accomplices have paid a heavy price, Qin Ge felt there was no need to dwell on who was behind it.
He is not an ungrateful person.
The dignified Master Huo of Beicheng would suddenly spare a sliver of his attention to deal with the small fry Chen and Zhou families...
Qin Ge felt that Huo Beiyuan was doing this for him... This shouldn't be wishful thinking, right?
Qin Ge couldn't help but look at Huo Beiyuan, her eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Huo Beiyuan was sitting at his desk working on documents when he noticed the boy staring intently at him. He looked up from his documents and slowly looked back at him. "What's wrong?"
Behind the man was a floor-to-ceiling window, through which the midday sun streamed in. Half of his face was hidden in the flowing, bright light, like a demon walking in the darkness, while the other half was bathed in a golden glow, as if a god from heaven were looking down upon the human world.
For no reason...
Qin Ge's heart skipped a beat.
He looked away and shook his head.
"……fine."

The Jiang family.
A week before Mrs. Jiang's 70th birthday banquet, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang finally returned from their trip abroad.
Jiang's mother is a beautiful woman who still retains her charm. Even though she is now in her forties and has given birth to three children, she still has a slender figure and her face is well-maintained. She looks elegant in a cheongsam, which is why she is very much loved by Jiang's father.
As Jiang Ting grew older and took over the company's affairs, Jiang's father gradually delegated authority to his shrewd and capable eldest son, taking time to accompany his wife on trips around the world, which also served as a way to relax.
Two years ago, after discovering that her children had been switched at birth, and that her beloved youngest son, Jiang Xibai, was not her biological son, Jiang's mother struggled to accept the situation. After finally processing this dramatic turn of events, she brought her biological son, Qin Ge, back to the Jiang family, only to find that he turned out to be a disreputable...
But, after all, they are my own flesh and blood.
Even if someone is hopeless and disappoints her, she still has to teach them.
Jiang's mother was exhausted and depressed all day long. Only when her caring son, Jiang Xibai, was by her side and acted coquettishly towards her as before would she feel genuinely happy.
Seeing that his wife's smiles had faded, Jiang's father took her out for a trip to relax and help her temporarily forget her troubles.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had been traveling abroad for more than half a year and only returned just before Mrs. Jiang's birthday. Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang was in a different state after returning from her trip. She was radiant and, with a smile, distributed gifts to her sons, almost filling the Jiang family's living room.
Of course, the most important person was her youngest son, Jiang Xibai, who was always her favorite.
Jiang's mother beckoned Jiang Xibai to sit down beside her, picked up the gift box and opened it, "Come here, Xixi, look at the gift Mom brought you, it's from France..."
Among the pile of gift boxes of all sizes, almost enough to fill the living room of the Jiang family, most of them were gifts for Jiang Xibai, including clothes, shoes, paints, paintbrushes, and even men's perfume, cufflinks, and ties.
The remaining small portion was given to the eldest son, Jiang Ting, and the second son, Jiang Ye.
Jiang Xibai is the darling of the Jiang family, and even Jiang's mother's 'favoritism' doesn't make her other two sons jealous or dissatisfied.
Jiang Ting is independent, while Jiang Ye dislikes being restrained. Jiang's mother naturally poured all her enthusiasm for dressing up her sons into her younger son, Jiang Xibai.
This actually relieved Jiang Ting and Jiang Ye.
Jiang Xibai tried on the clothes her mother brought back one by one, obediently and charmingly entertaining her mother, whose face was filled with a happy smile.
The living room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Even Jiang Ting, who is usually serious and has the demeanor of an elite CEO, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and revealed a rare smile on his face.
Seeing the family so happy together, Jiang Ye, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but blurt out an untimely remark—
"Mom, did you only bring gifts for Xixi, me, and my older brother?"
Jiang Ye noticed that his mother hadn't mentioned Qin Ge at all throughout the entire conversation.
