When Bai Xue heard that her mother-in-law had obtained the shares, she immediately forgot about the slap!
“Mom, this way, Qiao Sheng will have to obey me!” Bai Xue said excitedly.
At the mention of Qiao Sheng, Guo Meiying frowned. She felt that this kid seemed to have changed in the past two years. Could it be that he had discovered what had happened back then?
Impossible!
“Of course! Unless, he doesn’t want the company anymore!” Guo Meiying said proudly.
How could her ambition stop there?!

“Grandma, does Brother Qiao Sheng not like that Bai Xue?” Ye Qiao held Grandma’s hand and asked softly.
Old Mrs. Qiao sighed and nodded. “When Qiao Sheng was in France, he dated a girl who danced ballet. She had a very good temperament! Later, this girl betrayed him for some reason. Qiao Sheng was very sad, and there was no news of that girl. He only agreed to marry Bai Xue two years ago!”
Over the years, Qiao Sheng spent most of his time in foreign management companies. He had little contact with Ye Qiao, and Ye Qiao knew very little about him.
“Qiaoqiao, let me tell you a secret. Qiao Sheng was not actually born by your aunt, Guo Meiying! Qiao Sheng is just like you, a child with a hard life. When he was two years old, his mother passed away!” the old lady whispered again.
This was really a secret to Ye Qiao. She had never heard it from anyone in the Qiao family.
“Don’t be surprised. Even Qiao Sheng doesn’t know about this secret. In the chaotic era, your uncle and your aunt lived in two separate places. She had a weak body. When she passed away, your uncle was not by her side. Guo Meiying was your aunt’s servant girl. She had always taken care of Qiao Sheng. She owed Qiao Sheng a favor. Later on, when our family was reunited, we took her out of the country with us!” the old lady said to Ye Qiao.
‘So that’s how it was!’
“Qiao Sheng was very attached to her when she was young, thinking that she was his biological mother. We were afraid that he would find out the truth. We were heartbroken and kept it from him. However, your uncle did not love Guo Meiying, and he had always been thinking of your biological aunt! Later on, for Qiao Sheng, he gave in and married her. Guo Meiying once gave her all to the Qiao family, especially when our family was still young. During the most difficult period, our family opened a small restaurant in Chinatown. She was willing to suffer any hardship!” the old lady continued.
“Grandma has always remembered her kindness to our family back then. She has always remembered her kindness! Later, our family had money and started to invest. From a small company, we developed into a large group. Grandma trusted her and gave her shares. Over the years, her power within the group grew stronger and stronger! It was so big that she could match up to Grandma! It was so big that Grandma couldn’t touch her easily!” Old Mrs. Qiao added.
From Grandma’s words, Ye Qiao naturally understood something. The old lady had always said that Guo Meiying had ‘once’ been important. It could be seen that she had changed!
“Grandma, when Bai Xue asked about the shares today, it was also Aunt who called her, right?”
The old lady sighed. “You can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from me!”
Fortunately, this old lady had a trick up her sleeve!

After Shen Xichuan’s fake academic qualifications were slapped in his face on the spot, it caused a huge uproar on the Internet. There were denunciations everywhere.
He could only spend money to hire people to clear his name, claiming that he went to a branch school under MIT. He even posted his graduation certificate on the Internet. Very quickly, the netizens started to say that it was just a random university; it was a thousand miles away from MIT!
Then, there was the scandal of his failed bid online. In other words, he attended the charity dinner that night and bid 15 million, but he did not transfer the money to the organizer’s account!
