Chapter 30: Collaborating With Outsiders to Trap Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In order to find out who took my picture, I left the gallery and made a trip back to the Jiang family mansion. There were some things that I had once saved in my maiden home.

However, I didn’t expect to discover my dad’s secret on that trip back to my maiden home.

Tian Sheng corporation underwent a major reshuffle. The core members who had followed my grandfather back then were all removed from their posts. At present, not even my mom could attend the board meeting.

My dad didn’t intend to elaborate on that fact as I’d suddenly stumbled across it.

“Ran Ran, there’s a reason I didn’t inform you about this. Your mother hasn’t had the time to manage the company all these years. Besides, we’re family. There are some things that we don’t need to make clear.”

My dad pretended to sigh reluctantly.

At that moment, Jiang Yu walked over with a fake smile on her face. She sat on the sofa opposite me and placed a folder on the coffee table.

“Dad, there’s a dinner banquet tonight. Don’t worry too much. I’ll go with you.”

I stared at the two people opposite me. They completely ignored my presence.

Jiang Yu could enter Tian Sheng anytime to take care of its business, while I couldn’t interfere with the company’s matters all these years.

My heart ached.

Someone else took over everything that originally belonged to my mother. Even her biological daughter lost her say in things.

“Dad, did you let Jiang Yu enter the company? You were against me joining Tian Sheng for an internship back then. Why do you let Jiang Yu become your right-hand man now?”

I was blunt.

“Sister.” Jiang Yu smiled. Her expression was slightly chilly, and there was a faint murderous intent in her eyes. “Leave those troublesome things to me. Just be like Mom and enjoy life.”

Enjoy life?

After Grandpa passed away, the core shareholders gradually switched sides.

At present, Tian Sheng was no longer under my mother’s control.

“I naturally enjoy hard work. I’m a laborer, just like you. Therefore, I don’t mind having more things to do. Since you’re so busy, and I have nothing to do anyway, I can help you out.”

“This…”

My dad broke his silence and suddenly spoke up. He looked at me and said, “Since Little Ran wants to help, let her help you. By the way, let your sister attend tonight’s banquet as well.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it then.”

Jiang Yu glanced at me. “We’ll leave at six o’clock sharp. Remember to pack up in advance.”

With that, she lifted her chin as she left like a peacock.

My gaze followed Jiang Yu closely. Even though I expelled her from Lin City for three years, she still did well after returning.

She was the center of everyone’s attention.

My father treated her like a precious gem, while Fu Hansheng had a past relationship with her. Even He Zhizhou, whom I couldn’t let go of, was engaged to her.

She stole all my limelight.

I tried my best to compose myself.

At 6 pm, Jiang Yu and I took a limousine to a private room at the Orchid Pavilion Club.

By the time we arrived, the dishes had already been served. The big-bellied Huang Guide, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, had already arrived.

Jiang Yu and I were ten minutes late. He had been full of rage, but the moment he saw us enter, his eyes lit up.

“Aiyo, aren’t you Boss Jiang’s two daughters? Come, come, everyone, there’s no need to be so reserved. Come sit with Uncle Huang.”

He wasn’t stingy at all. He pushed Jiang Yu and me respectively to the seats on his left and right.

“Uncle Huang, I haven’t seen you for quite a while. We were stuck in a traffic jam on the way here, hence we’re late. I’ll drink this glass of wine as an apology!” Jiang Yu sat down generously and poured herself a glass of wine, which she drank in one go.

Seeing this, Huang Guide poured a few more glasses of wine for Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu drank them all. By the time she finished drinking, her face had already turned ugly. I had been neither cold nor warm, and I had brushed off Huang Guide’s face several times.

His hand came suspiciously close to my thigh a few times. I avoided it every time.

I didn’t think Jiang Yu would set me up for a trap.

“Little Ran, look, your sister has already drunk so much. Why haven’t you finished a glass of wine? Aren’t you showing Uncle Huang face? Your father and I are old friends. We can negotiate everything.. As long as you finish this glass of wine in one go, we will immediately discuss the contract signing!”
