Guilt and panic flashed in Old Madam Qiao’s eyes. She approached Qiao Yanxuan and grabbed his arm. “Yanxuan, he’s trying to ruin our relationship. Never believe what he says.”


  With that, Old Madam Qiao glanced at Qiao Yanze with sharp eyes. “You caused the Qiao family to lose everything and your mother to commit suicide because you fell for a ruthless woman back then. How are you still so thick-skinned to be in charge of the Qiao family matters?

  “Alright, let’s all take a step back. Even if you possess 30% of shares now, you’re still on par with Yanxuan. I believe that the shareholders here all support Yanxuan!”


  Old Madam Qiao took out her phone and got Qiao Yanxuan’s assistant to show a photo on the large screen.

  The photo was of that blood letter. Although the original piece was with Nan Zhi, the Old Madam had taken a photo. Like that, the contents of the blood letter were shown to all of the shareholders.

  The shareholders had heard of the blood letter Mrs Qiao had left, but none of them had seen it for themselves. After reading its contents, they all shook their head, glancing at Qiao Yanze in disappointment.

  “A person like this has lost all rights to handle the Qiao family matters. Who knows he might be muddled by love and does something that harms the Qiao family and our shareholders again?”


  Old Madam Qiao’s words had convinced the shareholders. All of them agreed that Qiao Yanze wasn’t suitable to be in charge of the Qiao Corporation once more.

  While Qiao Yanze listened to Old Madam Qiao’s words, he remained quiet as he waited for the Old Madam to finish. He then spoke slowly, “Grandma, are you trying to pull me down again by continuously mentioning the blood letter? I’m sorry. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you this time.”


  Qiao Yanze walked beside Qiao Yanxuan and raised his slender and well-defined hand to undo the buttons on his suit jacket. He then placed his hands on the meeting table and glanced at all the shareholders. He was exuding a dignified, cold and frightening aura.

  His eyes were completely black. They were so black that people couldn’t see their depths.

  After experiencing great difficulty, the playful and never-serious playboy had changed. Even if he was standing beside Qiao Yanxuan, who was a lot older than him, his aura wasn’t weaker. In fact, it was stronger and more powerful.

  After glancing around, the meeting room unexpectedly fell silent.

  Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Old Madam Qiao wanted to speak once more. However, Qiao Yanze spoke first. His tone was cold. “Da Zuo, hand out the photocopied contract and let the shareholders take a look.

  Da Zuo hurriedly took out a contract from his document bag and gave every shareholder a copy.

  Amongst them, the shareholder that had questioned Qiao Yanxuan before, said after seeing the contract, “Third Young Master has signed a contract with Mr Jerry?”


  What?!

  Qiao Yanxuan’s expression changed immediately.

  Countless memories flashed in his mind as he seemed to understand something. He glared at Qiao Yanze with completely red eyes. “It’s you, isn’t it? You were the one who arranged the fake Mr Jerry! You tricked me on purpose!”


  Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes. “Second Brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was able to sign a collaborating contract with Mr Jerry because of my own ability. Second Brother, you were the one who didn’t see through the fakes and lost all of the company’s cash flow. Instead of accusing others, shouldn’t you be thinking about how you can answer to the shareholders?”


  Qiao Yanxuan didn’t know that Qiao Yanze was so good at acting. In recent days, he had acted so pathetically in front of him, just like a dog. But it turned out that he was enduring the humiliation and waited to return the attack in the shadows.

  He just couldn’t understand. Why would Qiao Yanze suddenly stand back up? Shouldn’t he fall even more after falling out with Cen Xi?

  However, this was not the time to analyze his emotional change. He could not let Qiao Yanze succeed in his counter attack.

  “Yanze, even if you’ve signed a contract with the real Jerry, we both have 30% of the shares. The shareholders still need to vote and choose who is to be in charge of the Qiao Corporation.”


  After Qiao Yanxuan became the head of the Qiao family, he had bribed several shareholders. He was confident that they would support him.

  Qiao Yanze smirked. “Alright, let’s raise our hands and vote.”


  The result of the vote was that six small shareholders holding 19% of shares supported Qiao Yanxuan, while five shareholders holding 11% of shares supported Qiao Yanze.

  Qiao Yanxuan smirked in satisfaction. “Yanze, the majority of the shareholders support me, so you’ve lost. I will follow up properly with the contract you have signed with Jerry. Although you’re no longer a member of the Qiao family, I will still give you the profit bonuses accordingly since you’ve bought the 30% of Grandma’s shares in secret.”


  Seeing that Qiao Yanxuan had won over Qiao Yanze, Old Madam Qiao let out a sigh of relief. However, her happiness barely lasted ten seconds when Qiao Yanze’s next words made her heart sink once more.

  “Second Bother, shareholders, you seemed to have forgotten that another important shareholder has yet to arrive at today’s meeting.” Qiao Yanze clapped his hands and the meeting room door was pushed open once more.

  A woman with a large belly walked in with the support of a handsome man.

  They were An Feng and Helian Xiao.

  An Feng was about to give birth, so her belly was huge. Today she was wearing an almond-colored coat. Throughout her pregnancy, she paid attention to what she ate and worked out, so she only had a big belly. The rest of her limbs were still as slender as before.

  The man walking beside her was wearing a three-piece suit. Tall and handsome, his features were filled with the maturity and composure that came with age. His charismatic and strong aura also came with him naturally.

  The world’s richest man, Helian Xiao, had arrived.

  Several shareholders stood up and fought to greet Helian Xiao.

  Helian Xiao had merely accompanied his wife over today. He stood on the sidelines willingly, like a green leaf as he kept quiet.

  An Feng approached Qiao Yanze and spoke, “I possess 10% of shares and I will be giving it to Yanze with no conditions. Yanze did make a mistake in the past. But men are not saints, how can they be free from faults? Yanze has shown through his actions and proved that he is able to rebuild the Qiao family and that he is capable of becoming the head of the family once again. My husband and I support him unconditionally!”


  Hearing this, Qiao Yanxuan’s expression became really ugly. He was also a child of the Qiao family and was also An Feng’s Second Younger Brother. Why did she only side with Qiao Yanze as Mother did?”


  “Why? Why do you all only have eyes for him?” Qiao Yanxuan’s eyes were completely bloodshot as he reached out towards An Feng, wanting to push her away.

  Noticing the action, Qiao Yanze instantly grabbed Qiao Yanxuan’s hands to stop him from hurting An Feng. Helian Xiao hurriedly moved forward and pulled An Feng into his arms and a terrifying coldness filled his deep eyes. “If anything happens to my wife and child, I don’t care who you are. I will make sure that you wouldn’t be able to continue living in this world.”


  Old Madam Qiao couldn’t stand it anymore as she slapped the table. “Are you bullying our Yanxuan just because you are rich and powerful?”


  Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes. “Grandma, the one who’s really bullying Second Brother isn’t us. It’s you!”


  Qiao Yanxuan clenched his fists tightly as his handsome face was completely distorted. “Qiao Yanze, stop sowing discord between me and Grandma’s relationship. Grandma has always treated me the best since I was young. If you continue to talk about her like that, I won’t hold back anymore!”


  Qiao Yanze snorted. “You treat her as your grandma, but it’s not easy to say if she treats you as her grandson. Do you really think she kept the money she got from selling the Qiao family estates for you? She gave it all to Second Uncle.”
