Jin Fengchen nonchalantly ran his fingers through Jiang Sese's hair and said flatly, "Who else but their darling son-in-law? Lan Sichen has always been an ambitious person.""He's been eating away at the Jiang family's fortune. These days, the Jiang Group has almost been completely devoured by the Lan Group.""But isn't Lan Sichen and Jiang Nuannuan a loving couple? How could something like this happen?" Jiang Sese asked, stunned.Jin Fengchen couldn't help but pat her head after seeing her naive expression. "Do you think that he's such a simple person? He's the kind to achieve his objective in the business world at all costs. The Jiang Group is on its last legs now."His words upset Jiang Sese.Even though she had severed her relationship with her family, the company was still a business that her mother had built with Jiang Zhen. She couldn't accept the fact that the company would end up in Lan Sichen's hands.She kept this to herself. After all, this was between the Jiang and L
Out of boredom, Jiang Sese started browsing Weibo.Much to her surprise, news of Lan Sichen and Lin Xin Yao—daughter of the Lin family—was trending and netizens were leaving comments in droves.After reading the comments for a while, she finally found a negative one. However, the replies were fighting back, leaving the original commenter no room to retort.It seemed that Lan Sichen had spared no effort for his upcoming marriage, even hiring ghostwriters to leave comments online. He must have been afraid of affecting his reputation and image in his fiancee's eyes.At that moment, Jin Fengchen walked in and saw her browsing Weibo. He couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at? Lan Sichen's wedding?"Jiang Sese didn't plan to keep it from him; she could be frank because she no longer had feelings for Lan Sichen. She nodded. "He seems to have hired quite a lot of commentators."This wasn't strange, so Jin Fengchen didn't pay it much attention. "I suppose your sister is the one m
Time passed so quickly that it was soon the day of the alliance marriage between the Lan and Lin families.Jin Fengchen left his office early that evening and went to check on Jiang Sese, who was busy reading a document. "Sese, let's go home."Jiang Sese put down her document. She took some time to respond as she had forgotten about the wedding. "Is today a special day? Why did you finish work so early?"Jin Fengchen found her confused expression adorable and couldn't help but kiss her cheek. "Today is the day of the alliance marriage between the Lan and Lin families. You're supposed to come with me."Realization finally dawned on Jiang Sese and she said with some embarrassment, "I forgot."Jin Fengchen laughed. "Hurry and pack up. We'll go home and get changed."When they returned home, Jin Fengchen told a maid, "Bring me the clothes that Gu Nian sent here today and take Young Madam to go change."Jiang Sese looked at him with bright eyes and said softly, "You've prepared every
While they were still talking, the MC had already finished his opening remarks and the wedding march had begun playing."Let us welcome President Lin and Miss Lin. Let's applaud President Jin for his deep parental love and devotion to raising his daughter for so many years. Today, Miss Lin has found her happiness, and President Lin has to hand her to another man..."The MC began to emotionally recite familiar lines against the backdrop of the music, appearing as if he was trying to touch the heart of everyone present.Looking at the father and daughter pair, Jiang Sese felt a sense of loss at the thought of her own father.As if noticing her mood, Jin Fengchen tightened his grasp on her hand and whispered, "It's all right. I'm here."These words were more reassuring than confessions of love or heartfelt pledges. "That's right. As long as he's here, there's nothing that I can't bear," she thought.The wedding slowly progressed and before anyone knew it, it was time to exchange oat
The first thing Jiang Nuannuan did was take the examination report to Lan Sichen's home."I want you to marry me." She showed Lan Sichen the ultrasonography report with a look of determination. "Your family finally has an heir. Don't tell me you're going to abandon him.""Ha."Lan Sichen held a cigarette in his hand, the spark looking especially eye-catching in the dimly lit house. His indifferent attitude caused Jiang Nuannuan to panic.The baby was her final trump card.Her delicate face was reflected in Lan Sichen's dark pupils. Amid the swirling smoke, he said coldly, "Do you think that I won't date other women? Or that they can't get pregnant?"Jiang Nuannuan's face became pale and she had to hold tightly onto the edge of the table to support herself from falling.She closed her eyes and her voice was colored with despair. "What's going to happen to the child? He's your biological child. Are you going to kill him?"Lan Sichuan threw the used-up cigarette to the floor and e
The Lan family blamed all their losses on Jiang Nuannuan, believing that she was the reason for the Lin family's actions.Lan Sichen discussed with his parents how to handle the Lin family's attacks.Not only had the Lin Group stopped all business cooperation with them, but they had even withdrawn their investment from the Lan Group. This cost the Lan Group major and immediate financial loss, even forcing some of their ongoing projects to be halted."I have an idea." After an idea struck Lan Baichuan, he looked at his son with a conflicted expression. "You might have to suffer a little, but will you do it for our family's sake?""Tell me." Lan Sichen didn't express much interest.His father had asked him a question in a way that seemed like he was trying to arouse his interest in listening to the entire suggestion. Battling a business veteran like Lan Baichuan still required Lan Sichen to be on high alert.Seeing Lan Sichen's interest in listening more, Lan Baichuan cleared his t
Shen Shulan was just as shocked after hearing about this; she didn't expect a hiccup at such an important turning point.She was full of hatred for Jiang Sese's late grandfather. Back then, she had risked it all to marry Jiang Zhen on the belief that the entire company was his.Did this not mean that they had been working for Jiang Sese all along?"Why haven't you told me something so important? Very good, Jiang Zhen. It turns out that you don't own a single thing! You made a maiden like me marry you for nothing!" Shen Shulan said angrily.She felt like Jiang Zhen had played her for a fool and even made her give birth to his child. Just the thought of it filled her with indignation.Jiang Zhen couldn't defend himself from her criticism."I only learned about this afterward. Why are you shouting at me? Do you think I haven't tried coming up with countermeasures? But, I don't have access to the old man's will at all. What can I do?"He lit up a cigarette and spoke to her in a plac
Jiang Nuannuan scoffed at Lan Sichen's expression and said, "Take it as it is. That old man left all of his shares to Jiang Sese before his death.""She's currently the biggest shareholder of the Jiang Group. If you want to annex the company, you'll need her agreement; however, the will required Jiang Sese to be married before she could inherit the shares."Lan Sichen sank into contemplation. No matter how much he schemed, he couldn't have imagined this hiccup.Jiang Sese was so well-protected by Jin Fengchen these days that he wouldn't even have a chance of meeting her.He wouldn't have left her if he knew, but it was too late for regrets.He glanced at Jiang Nuannuan and found her to be incomparably disgusting. When it came to temperament, she was no match for Jiang Sese at all."I understand. You may leave now," Lan Sichen said coldly.Facing such a cold Lan Sichen, Jiang Nuannuan stood up and said resentfully, "Lan Sichen, are you going to abandon me after using me?""Pleas
