Qu Jingwan did not understand what she did wrong for her to become like this. Although she was domineering in the Ji Group, she was not as bad as the media made her out to be.

  She could not recall where she had been secretly filmed. She did not even know when she had been secretly filmed. However, what gave her a headache was that she could not remember if she had ever hit Manager Wang. She only knew that she had once hired someone to splash paint on the female manager’s BMW.

  It was a BMW that Ellie had just bought, but Qu Jingwan’s heart did not ache because at that moment, she only felt comfortable. As long as she felt comfortable, everything would be fine.

  It was precisely because of this that Qu Jingwan was able to swagger around Ji Group and never clean up her mess. However, she did not expect that someone would expose her and wait for her to clean up.

  However, she only knew how to create trouble and was never good at cleaning up her mess. Only would Old lady Qu follow behind her to clean up the mess but this time, even Old lady Qu was unwilling to help her.

  What went wrong?

  Old master Qu and Old lady Qu, who were sitting in the room, had a terrifying look on their faces. Because of this news, Qu Group’s shares in the stock market fell this morning. As long as it was a company under Qu Group, it unavoidably encountered the same situation. This morning, there were already more than twenty collaboration deals that were willing to compensate for the breach of contract and withdraw from cooperation with Qu Group.

  Old master Qu had encountered such a large-scale withdrawal of funds before but this time, Qu Group almost went bankrupt but he could not think of a solution to this problem.

  Old master Qu was in a terrible fix and Old lady Qu, who was sitting beside him, was not feeling well either.

  The empire that she had painstakingly built for her entire life could not be easily manipulated by others.

  In this capital, Ji Ziming was the only one with such capabilities. There was no one else but him, but if she were to fight with him now, she would probably lose all her budget.

  Perhaps, she would end up being utterly defeated and with nothing. She would even lose her identity as the Qu family’s old lady. However, Old lady Qu did not give up and was unwilling to let her things be ruined.

  “Do you have any good solutions?”


  Old master Qu’s voice was hoarse. Since autumn, his body seemed to be going downhill.

  “Old master, I haven’t thought of a suitable solution. Don’t worry, there will be a way.”


  Old lady Qu revealed a troubled expression. She did not think of a solution herself but was thinking of how to get her close aide to confront Ji Ziming before this matter escalated into a panic.

  “Solution, solution. Where can we find a solution? Look at you. It’s all because of you and that precious daughter who taught Qu Jingwan to become like this. Originally, she was Madam Ji’s favorite daughter-in-law, but look at her now. She has become the biggest laughing stock in the capital. In our Qu family, having such an insensible missy is simply embarrassing!”


  Old lady Qu sat on the sofa and listened to Old master Qu’s scolding as the anger in her heart rose.

  “Old master, have you ever thought about me when you speak like this? Is it my fault that Jingwan is like this now? Did I raise her to this state on purpose? Old master, can you think for me? I’m already an old woman, so I don’t have the energy to raise her to this state.”


  Old lady Qu could not control the anger in her heart but she still looked aggrieved on the surface. The tears in her eyes were slowly flowing out of her eyes as she looked at her husband. She would always act like this and that was why Old master Qu always had an impulse towards Old lady Qu.

  This woman was not that simple.

  “If you say that it’s not your fault, then you’re blaming me, right? Did I raise Qu Jingwan to this state?”


  Old master Qu’s voice became louder but when he looked at Old lady Qu, his eyes widened.

  “Old master, you must speak with your conscience. You agreed to the Ji family’s Madam Ji bringing Jingwan to stay with the Ji family for a few days. On the night that Jingwan left, you even held a family gathering. Now that something happened to Jingwan in the Ji family, you’re quick to shirk the responsibility. Don’t you have any responsibility at all?”


  Old lady Qu remained seated and raised her head to look at Old master Qu who was standing in front of her. The scary plan in her heart was advancing step by step.

  The time was not up yet. She initially thought that she would let this old man off since he had once been by her side when she was in the most pain. However, it seemed that this man was not reliable at all. Since that was the case, she did not want him. As such, Old lady Qu did not care about anything else.

  As long as she got what she wanted, she would be willing to pay any price.

  As long as she got what she wanted, she could pay any price, including herself.

  “Alright, let’s not dwell on Qu Jingwan’s matter. Let’s talk about the company’s current situation and how we should resolve it. If even those PR people I hired are unwilling to resolve it, you’ll know how bad the situation is.”


  Old master Qu explained the situation of the company and Qu family to Old lady Qu in detail. It was fine if he did not mention it, but once he did, Old master Qu felt dizzy. He lost most of his hard work to this news.

  When Qu Jingwan did not create trouble, Old master Qu thought that she was just a pampered young mistress. Now, it seemed that people who were spoiled were not like her.

  “Old master, don’t be anxious. We’ll think of a way. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll go find Ji Ziming and CEO Ji. I believe that he won’t leave her in the lurch. I also believe that Jingwan still has some status in his family.”


  Old lady Qu did not dare to say that it was Pei Ge. In Old master Qu’s knowledge, because of how well she kept the secrets, he did not know of Pei Ge’s existence in the Ji family and did not know that Pei Ge resembled that madam from back then.

  “Find Ji Ziming? Will he be willing to help?”


  Old master Qu could not believe it. Based on his years of business experience, Old master Qu was certain that this big news had something to do with Ji Ziming. It was impossible for him not to know everything.
