"Yun Tian, I..." Ji Lan wanted to explain, but what he said seemed to be completely correct.
If he weren't the head of the Jiang family, and if he weren't capable of helping her deal with Lu Qing, how could she possibly be willing to wrong herself?
But things seemed to change gradually. She saw how good Long Tian was to her and how obedient he was to her.
That's why she was willing to bear him a son and a daughter, but even so, it doesn't change the fact that she had ulterior motives for getting close to him.
"I understand." Jiang Longtian nodded expressionlessly, his heart filled with bitterness.
From the moment he first met Ji Lan, he knew that he was destined to be entangled with her for the rest of his life.
So he went to great lengths to deliver anything she wanted to her.
He had never been so infatuated with someone before, and even though she was indifferent at first, he still enjoyed it.
Only today did he realize how naive he had been, naively believing that as long as he married her, he could win her heart and spend his life with her.
In the end, it was just wishful thinking on his part.
Looking at his increasingly calm expression, Ji Lan inwardly cried out in alarm.
"Long Tian..."
She had just grabbed Jiang Longtian's hand, wanting to explain, when Ji Ming interrupted her.
"If you hate Lu Qing, what about the Ji family? You can bring yourself to harm the Ji family who gave you life and raised you. What is your heart made of?" Ji Ming's eyes were filled with disappointment.
From a young age, she was the pampered daughter of the Ji family. Whatever she wanted, it was immediately delivered to her.
If there's anything that didn't satisfy her, it's her relationship with Lu Qing.
But Lu Qing and Xia Changhuan were in love with each other, so in the end, she was the one who wanted to forcefully intervene.
She resented the Ji family for not helping her, but how could they help her in such a situation?
Should we imprison Lu Qing?
Even if she really wanted to do that, does the Ji family have the capability?
More than 20 years ago, the Ji family and the Lu family were old friends, and their family circumstances were not much different.
Where did she get the confidence to think she could easily manipulate Lu Qing?
"Big brother..." Ji Lan called out subconsciously.
"Don't call me big brother. From the moment you tried to kill my son, my granddaughter, and my daughter, you stopped being my sister."
"Why is everyone criticizing me?" Ji Lan finally shed her first tear. "People strive for better things, aren't you all like that?"
“Dad left you 35 percent of the shares, not a penny less than mine, but you are still not satisfied. Your greed has surpassed that of everyone else.”
"You're talking nonsense. I clearly heard him tell his mother that he wanted to leave the company to you. They are clearly sexist."
That's why she wanted to marry Lu Qing and obtain the Ji family's wealth.
That day was her eighteenth birthday, and that night she overheard them discussing having Ji Ming take over the company.
She was never mentioned once from beginning to end, which is why she gradually developed resentment.
In terms of ability, she is in no way inferior to her older brother.
But just because she is a daughter, the company has to be handed over to her eldest brother, which is not fair to her at all.
"Take a look for yourself." Ji Ming threw the share transfer document in his hand at Ji Lan's feet.
Ji Lan picked up the file folder with some skepticism and slowly pulled out the share transfer document inside.
How could that be?
She read the entire document word by word, and the transfer agreement clearly stated that 35% of the shares would be transferred to Ji Lan.
The date happened to be her eighteenth birthday.
So her parents didn't discriminate against girls; her shares were exactly the same as her older brother's.
The few sheets of paper slowly slipped through her fingers, and she slowly shook her head.
It's too late. This transfer document came too late; it's too late for anything.
Having come this far, today she either annexes the Ji and Lu families, or she dies; there is no other way out.
When he looked up again, his reddened eyes held only a fierce killing intent.
Since we've made a mistake, let's stick with it.
"Ji Lan, you are truly beyond saving."
Ji Ming's last glimmer of hope vanished completely.
He then realized that even if she had known about the shares all along, she would still have made the same choice because she was such an indifferent person.
"Ji Ming, let's go. Let them handle this." Lu Qing grabbed Ji Ming's elbow and walked out.
They shouldn't have come today in the first place.
Having received her answer, it was time for them to leave.
Ji Lan watched their receding figures, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Since you're here, let's all stay.
She looked up at the rooftop across the street and secretly made a hand gesture.
In an instant, a red dot appeared behind Lu Qing.
Lu Qing and Ji Ming, who were still walking forward, did not notice this at all.
Ji Yan, however, spotted it, but he was too far away to stop it in time.
"Get out of the way!"
A gunshot rang out.
Lu Qing and Ji Ming fell to the ground at the same time.
The scene fell silent instantly. Everyone watched the two people with bated breath, wondering which one had been hit.
A few seconds later, Ji Ming rushed towards Lu Qing without even having time to brush off the dust.
"Brother Lu, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Surprisingly, Lu Qing was also unharmed.
Ji Lan looked at the rooftop opposite in shock. He had actually failed?
No, that's impossible.
On the other rooftop, Ji Fuying put away her sniper rifle, which was still emitting a little smoke.
"You wanted to kill my father, did you even ask for my permission?"
Xu Nuo gave a thumbs up with a face full of envy, "Boss, you have great marksmanship. You can hit the opponent even when they only show the slightest opening."
"Practice makes perfect, and you can do it too if you practice more."
Ji Fuying intently observed the surrounding movements, fearing that Ji Lan might have more than one sniper lying in ambush.
Her position had been exposed just now, so she took Xu Nuo to another spot where she could still see the whole panorama.
Downstairs, Ji Ming and Lu Qing got up from the ground, both of them knowing very well who had attacked them.
She's really getting more and more ruthless.
The two men took one last look at her before quickly leaving the scene.
Now it's up to the children.
"Ji Lan, someone as heartless and insane as you doesn't deserve to stay in this world." Lu Ci's bloodshot eyes looked at Ji Yan.
If someone hadn't intervened beforehand, his father would be dead.
Ji Yan's gaze was equally cold, and he slowly nodded.
Jiang Yunshen understood their meaning, and the three of them retreated together.
"Let's do it."
In an instant, gunshots rang out, and the sky was filled with red mist.
