gotten used to such looks. She could never match Jiang Qingran's cunning. She suddenly spat out a chicken bone and said, "No."Ren Xiaoya sounded a little confused, "Huh""He's not looking out for me,...Jiang Qingran lowered her head, her expression dim, and said nothing.

The mother was furious, complaining nonstop, "This child doesn't know what kind of love potion A-Wan has given him! First, he broke his engagement with the Song family for that vixen and then ran away from home!"

“Now he’s back, I don’t know what Xi Wang told him, but he insists on coming back to compete with Qing Ran for the family fortune and even says he doesn’t recognize Qing Ran as his sister! Dad, do you think in a while he'll have to hand over Jiang Corporation to Xi Wang”

Hearing this, Lin Tianting curled her lips and touched her stomach, saying, “Jiang Qi Feng is such an idiot. He’s either being led around by a cripple or being confused by a little vixen. Look at what kind of son you've raised!”

"Shut your mouth, did I ask you!" Jiang's mother was displeased with her son again, and she wouldn't allow anyone else to say he wasn't right, especially this person who was the one she despised most - a prostitute!

Lin Tiantian's face turned pale from being yelled at. She hooked her arms around Lin Lao Ye's neck and acted coquettishly, "Darling, look at her! She even dares to bully me in front of you!"

The Lin family and Jiang Qingran's family had seen such scenes many times, but every time they saw it, they still found it hard to accept.

They were from a prestigious scholarly family, but now their reputation has been tarnished by a shrewish young lady. Everywhere they go, people point and whisper about them!

Mr. Lin softly comforted Lin Tianting with a few words, then scolded, "How can you speak like that She's your mother! Apologize!"

Before her marriage, Jiang Mu was the most beloved in her family. Even after marrying into the Jiang family, she had never been wronged in any way. Now, she was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Grandpa, Miss Lin is the same age as me. She could even be my mother's daughter. Asking my mom to call her 'Mom' feels... a bit awkward."

Moreover, my mom just casually complained about my brother a few words, and Ms. Lin accused him like that. Isn't that a bit too much

Jiang Qingran knew she shouldn't speak now, but after being rejected by Old Master He and Xiang Wan consecutively, she really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Lin Tiantian jumped up, pointing at her and scolding: "What does my age have to do with you I married your grandfather, so seniority-wise, I'm your grandmother. You have to call my son uncle! Don't like it Then just keep quiet!"

Lin Jia was usually very particular about etiquette and language. Now, hearing her use such vulgar words, everyone's faces turned quite grim.

“Why are you getting angry with the younger generation” Old Master Lin grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his lap. He coaxed her for a while, then said, “Qingran, your grandmother is pregnant, and pregnant women are more sensitive emotionally. You should be more understanding. I remember you’ve always been the most sensible one.”

Jiang Qingran choked on a mouthful of air, unable to cough it up or swallow it down. It was even more uncomfortable than having a fishbone stuck in her throat. She took a deep breath and, despite the anger welling up inside her, she managed to reply with a barely audible yes.

"Today, I called you here because your grandparents wanted to see you," Old Master Lin stroked Lin Tiantian's long hair gently.

Jiang Qingran's face changed slightly. She had almost guessed what it was, but she didn't answer.

“As the CFO of Jiang's Group, you should be very clear about its recent situation.” Old Master Lin said, “Due to your scheme to frame Yanan, Jiang's Group’s stock price has plummeted several times, and its market value has shrunk by 18%. Do you know how big that number is”

Jiang Qingran was very dissatisfied that an outsider would criticize her like this, but she still tried to pull the corners of her mouth up, "I'm in business, I understand this side better than my grandfather. For a big group like ours, we should focus on long-term development rather than short-term losses."

The implication was there, but Old Master Lin was too short-sighted.

"Your grandparents thought the same way, so after that happened, they didn't blame you, but comforted you instead." Grandpa Lin said.

Jiang Qingran sincerely said, "So I am very grateful to my grandparents. They are really great elders."

"But look at what you've done later!" Old Master Lin suddenly raised his voice. "You plotted against Old Master He, angered him, and caused the Jiang Group to fall into an even worse situation!"

"Your grandfather originally wanted to secure a good project to make the Jiang Corporation less pessimistic. But you directly transferred the funds to the Xiang Corporation, causing them to snatch that project away!"

Jiang Qingran's eyelashes blinked rapidly a few times, trying to pull the corners of her mouth up, but she couldn't succeed no matter what. "So...what do you mean by that"

"Since you're not able to get around well and are getting up there in years, we thought it would be best if you step down as CFO for now. Take some time to rest and recover. Once you're feeling better, we'll introduce you to a few people we think you'd like. That's what women should do." Old Master Lin said.

Jiang Qingran clutched the wheelchair handrail tightly, anger and disappointment almost overwhelming her, along with a heavy dose of disbelief.

Old Mister Lin, “You have the whole afternoon left, that’s enough time to handle the handover. Get started.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up.

Jiang Qingran stood up from his wheelchair. To everyone's astonishment, he walked towards him, "Please wait a moment, Grandfather. My legs are almost fully recovered. I just wanted to surprise you all before telling anyone."

"What a manipulative bitch!" Lin Tianting rolled her eyes and said loudly.

Jiang Qingran pretended not to hear her, solemnly saying: "Grandfather, I can go to the blind dates you and Grandma arranged, but I don't want to be a housewife. I still remember what you said to me before, that women must be independent, right"

"Independence is a personality trait, it doesn't necessarily have to be reflected in how much money you earn. Your work ability is too strong, crushing most men, which will make many men feel unbalanced psychologically, and this is not good for your future marriage."

Jiang Qingran was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, a laugh that was somewhat desolate and sarcastic, "May I ask why grandpa and grandma had my uncle tell me this"

"You've disappointed them so much lately, they don't know how to face you. You came to me because I'm the elder who's closer to you." Mr. Lin said.

Jiang Qingran lowered her head and smoothed out the cuffs of her sleeve, saying bitterly: "It's hard for my grandfather to come up with so many excuses. What you did is precisely because I angered Grandpa He, aren't you afraid of implicating the Jiang family and the He family"

Mr. Lin stared straight at her, without saying a word.

"Grandpa, why did you call everyone here" Jiang Qingran could guess the answer to this question, but she still wanted to ask it hopefully.

Mr. Lin swept his gaze over the crowd, his eyes finally landing on her. "I called everyone here so they could see what a foolish thing you did for a man, so they could learn from it!"
