“Qianye, there’s a piece of news I have to tell you. You can decide what to do later,”

Huo Jiarong suddenly told Ming Qianye solemnly.

“What is it?”

Ming Qianye responded and continued to look out to the sea.

“DK’s directors’ meeting might have to be brought forward. Lou Zhiwen has a good reputation, especially in the past two years. The newly released Orange Flower Love has become a hit, and the demand is still very high. Everyone can see his results, so he’s very likely to compete for the position of chairman of DK. His chance of success is not low. Yang Li was appointed by him as DK’s Deputy Financial Director a while ago, and Lou Zhiwen even bought some shares of DK. He must have made sufficient preparations for this meeting.”

DK was originally the Lou family’s business. It was an old perfume and cosmetics company. The reputation of the perfume was good, and it could be considered a high-end brand.

Her father, Lou Jinrui, was Ming Qianye’s grandfather and the previous chairman of DK.

Her father only had one daughter, Lou Manshu. Lou Zhiwen’s name was not that, but Chen Zhiwen. He had married into the Lou family. In order to express his sincerity, he had even changed his surname.

Lou Manshu wasn’t good at managing business. Moreover, she was a civil servant, so her family’s business fell into Lou Zhiwen’s hands.

Less than a year after Lou Manshu died in the line of duty, Yang Li entered the family. She had a son, Lou Hui, with Lou Zhiwen. She also brought along Lou Qianwei, who was a burden. She led the entire Chen family and openly used and enjoyed the Lou family’s resources.

In the second month after Lou Manshu died in the line of duty, Lou Zhiwen had a showdown with her!

She was not Lou Zhiwen’s biological daughter.

At that time, Ming Qianye finally understood why no matter how hard she tried to fight for it and please Lou Zhiwen, Lou Zhiwen was cold to her and doted on Lou Qianwei…

After that, Ming Qianye was indeed ostracized from the Lou family. Her half-brother, Lou Che, was left in the Lou family.

After she left the Lou family, the Ming family found her.

Grandfather Ming Jingtang only told her that she was his granddaughter, his only granddaughter. There was a DNA report as evidence.

From then on, Lou Qianye became Ming Qianye.

“Every time I see these shameless ingrates, my heart aches for Auntie Lou… Last week, my mother bumped into Yang Li at the supermarket and the two of them started arguing. You haven’t seen how arrogant and unscrupulous that woman Yang Li is now! Also, Lou Che’s grades are very bad. A few days ago, he even fought with his classmates in the school and beat them until their bones broke. They were sent to the hospital. The school has already asked him to go back and reflect on it. He might be expelled next. That’s exactly what that mother and daughter can’t wait for. That Lou Hui goes to an international elite school. Qianye, this difference…”

Ming Qianye’s brows turned slightly cold.

Huo Jiarong took a deep breath and continued helplessly.

“The Lou family now belongs to Yang Li and her son. With Lou Hui around, DK probably won’t have anything to do with Lou Che in the future. Qianye, you should make plans as soon as possible. There are some things that I can’t empathize with, but… are you willing to watch those people occupy the Lou family? Also, what about Lou Che?”

Ming Qianye lowered her eyes and looked at the river below. The originally colorful river surface was already enveloped in darkness…

After a while, her cold and indifferent voice sounded, like the wind blowing past the river.

“It’s not a big deal. Since I’m being bullied, I’ll just fight back. I’m very unfamiliar with him, and he doesn’t seem to need me.”

Ming Qianye raised her exquisite eyebrows and left without looking at her.

Whoosh!

At the same time, something was thrown out of her hand. Huo Jiarong reached out to catch it by reflex. Ming Qianye’s voice could be vaguely heard in the night wind.

“50 million. Pay it to my card later.”

With that, she left before Huo Jiarong could react.

Her thin shadow looked cold, tenacious, yet lonely.

Huo Jiarong took a deep breath, and her beautiful eyes filled with pity.

After so many years, she was still unwilling to forgive herself. She could not make peace with it herself, nor could she do so with others.

Sometimes, she really did not know if she had really gotten over it, which was why she had become so cold, or if she was just running away.

She even rejected Mu Ziyi just like that, whom they thought was the light of life. She was strong as if nothing had happened and did not even shed a tear…

She saw a few familiar figures on the motorcycles that whizzed past just now. Ming Qianye should have seen them too, right?

…

Sure enough, Ming Qianye saw a few boys gathered not far away on a small piece of flat ground under the pier.

Six boys surrounded a boy in a white shirt in the middle. A few of them had arrogant smiles on their faces. One of their chilly voices was filled with warning as he said,

“A wild kid dares to provoke Boss Peng and attack his brother? Do you have a death wish?”

The boy who was surrounded was handsome and gloomy. Because he was surrounded by a few people, his expression was very cold and scornful. His eyes were filled with anger, and there was already a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He held the black backpack on his shoulder tightly with one hand. Beads of sweat were already on his forehead, and his sleek black hair was drenched in sweat. He leaned over slightly, as if he was enduring great pain…

“Did you hear that! Do you really have a death wish?!”

The tall boy who spoke kicked Lou Che again!

“Get lost!”

Lou Che staggered and charged forward.

The boys immediately grabbed his clothes and started punching and kicking him…

Ming Qianye rushed forward and picked up a boy by the collar at lightning speed. She punched the boy’s chin!

Ming Qianye threw him away as he screamed!

Ming Qianye reached out and pulled Lou Che out of the encirclement.

Right after that, the noise of punches and kicks sounded. Those people didn’t even have time to ask a single question. In the blink of an eye, there were already six people lying on the ground begging for their lives…

Their faces were filled with pain. When they looked at Ming Qianye, their eyes were filled with shock and fear!

Ming Qianye tidied up her messy clothes and looked down at the few people lying on the ground, holding their heads and as they begged for mercy. She said coldly,

“Before I consider removing your limbs, you still have a chance to apologize immediately.”

With such absolute strength, how could they dare to be insincere? They were scared out of their wits!

They did not expect such a thin and beautiful woman to be so skilled. She was clearly a martial artist!
