Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 391 Warning
Jiang Rourou didn't like hearing this. "Auntie, look at what you're saying. It's as if I don't want to have children, or that I can't have children. It's clearly your son Xiao Jiayang who has a health problem. I'm keeping it a secret from him to help him. You should be thanking me!"

Chen Wanru glanced at her and said, "I will thank you for what I should, but if you can't get pregnant, even if I can keep you, the old man won't. So you'd better figure out a way to handle this yourself!"

"Hey you..." Jiang Rourou stomped her foot angrily.

What kind of person is this? His own son has a problem, but he insists on shifting the blame to others. It's ridiculous!

However, Chen Anru's words also reminded Jiang Rourou of the importance of having a child. She was right about one thing: to secure her position, she absolutely needed a child. Even if Xiao Jiayang's health didn't allow it, he would still be the eldest young master of the Xiao family, but who the young mistress of the Xiao family would be was uncertain. Therefore, she had to get pregnant, she absolutely had to get pregnant...

On the other hand, Qian Xingjie was suddenly hit by an avalanche at the height of his success!

I don't know who spread the rumor online that he was not the biological son of the Qian family, but an adopted son that Qian Huai'an took from an orphanage. They even publicly accused him of being an ingrate who stole the Qian Group from the Qian family.

The incident caused an uproar both online and offline.

As soon as Qianxing Jie entered the company, whispers and murmurs arose from all directions.

"So it turns out that Qian Zong isn't the Qian family's biological son. No wonder he doesn't look like Miss Ke'er!"

"Isn't this just a classic story of the farmer and the snake? Our Chairman Qian is just too kind!"

"A wild child who grew up in an orphanage has actually become the chairman of the Qian Group. It's like a sparrow flying to the top and becoming a phoenix!" Qian Xingjie's gaze swept across the room, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

"Have someone remove all that nonsense from the internet right now, immediately!" Qian Xingjie slammed the contract down as soon as he entered the office, his face terrifying.

If he could still bear it on the first day, then the second day was definitely a devastating blow for him.

Yes, he's trending again.

[The newly appointed chairman of the Qian Group has been exposed for using unfair means to steal business from competitors!]

[A thousand adopted sons are suspected of being two-faced monsters, setting traps for competitors, or committing criminal offenses!]

Although Qian Xingjie had the post taken down immediately, the news had already spread like wildfire in Baicheng. Soon after, various partner companies withdrew their contracts and canceled their cooperation. Qian's stock plummeted, and the employees were in a state of panic and chaos.

Qian Huai'an personally came to the company to demand an explanation, "What exactly happened? Tell me, are those things said online true?"

Qian Xingjie remained calm and said, "Dad, how can you believe what's online? It's just that our competitors are jealous of our company's achievements and are spreading rumors. I've already reported it to the police, and the officers will clear our name!"

"Hmph! You don't need to explain. Do you think I don't know what you've been up to behind the scenes? I thought you would stop after your business took off, but who knew you would become more and more outrageous and do such shady things. Xingjie, you have really disappointed me. I shouldn't have let you manage the Qian Group in the first place!"

Qian Huai'an slammed his fist on the table, bitterly criticizing himself, while also blaming himself for being too soft-hearted back then.

Qian Xingjie smiled faintly, his eyes darkening. "Dad, you're hurting me too much by saying that. Remember, all my efforts were for the good of the Qian family. You were happy when the Qian family achieved success, but now that it's failed, you can't blame me alone. Or are you regretting not handing the Qian family over to Qian Ke'er?"

"You...cough cough..." Qian Huai'an's face turned red with anger, and it took him a while to calm down. "In short, now that the police are involved, if you have really done a lot of dirty tricks behind the scenes, even if I step in, I may not be able to save you. You'd better watch yourself. Also, if you can't give me a good explanation, then I will convene the chairman's meeting and revoke your chairmanship!" After saying that, Qian Huai'an left.

Boom! Qian Xingjie slammed the table shut, and as soon as he left the office, the employees who had been eavesdropping at the door scattered in all directions.

Looking at all this, he felt as if he had become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes, how pathetic that was.

His phone rang, and he went to a quiet corner. "What is it... What? It's her!"

Thousands of families.

Wearing a mink coat, Qian Ke'er exuded the aura of a wealthy heiress as she stood by the pond, scattering fish food into it.

The fish instantly gathered together. She smiled and finished feeding the fish, dusting off her hands and taking a handkerchief from the maid to wipe them.

Musa came over and said, "Miss Ke'er, the young master is looking for you!"

Qian Ke'er had already seen Qian Xingjie. She waved her hand to dismiss the other servants, leaving only Mu Sha. As she turned around, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother!"

Qian Xingjie slowly relaxed his clenched fist, his face changing from gloomy to kind. "You look so much better than before, it seems I was just worrying!"

Qian Ke'er chuckled, "I'm not a child anymore, how could I be so stubborn!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Just as Qian Xingjie was struggling with how to probe, Qian Ke'er spoke first, "By the way, brother, I've heard about what happened online. I'm wondering if you offended someone, so someone is deliberately messing with you?"

Qian Xingjie's hands curled up again. "It's unavoidable in business!"

"Yes! But brother, you don't need to take it too hard. The Qian Group needs you. Don't let those rumors on the internet break you. Although you're not a biological son of the Qian family, we have a deep bond. I've always considered you my own brother. Brother, I believe you can persevere, right?"

Qian Ke'er's gentle knife stabbed Qian Xingjie's back again and again. Instead of getting angry, Qian Xingjie smiled naturally and indulgently.

"Thank you, Ke'er. I will definitely not let you down!" Qian Xingjie emphasized the last few words almost imperceptibly.

In a daze, it seemed as if flames were rising between the two of them, and undercurrents were surging.

Qian Xingjie's gaze suddenly fell on the financial magazine on the table next to him. He picked it up and flipped through it. "Ke'er, when did you become interested in this?"

Qian Ke'er feigned guilt, "This is what Dad wanted to say. He told me not to be idle at home, to read some books or something. Maybe I can even be your business assistant in the future. Don't think I'm a nuisance then, brother!"

Qian Xingjie chuckled, "How could that be? But, I suggest you stay out of the business world, girl!"

"why?"

Qian Xingjie took two steps forward, his gaze icy, "Too dangerous!" He patted Qian Ke'er on the shoulder and then left.

The smile on Qian Ke'er's face gradually cooled down, eventually being swallowed up by a chilling coldness.
