Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

After Ji Hancheng finished speaking, he made a phone call to Xu Mingkai.

A few minutes later.

Xu Mingkai led in several people who were tied up, followed by bodyguards from the Lan family. The group marched into the living room in a grand manner, making the originally spacious living room feel much more crowded.

Chen Lan didn't recognize many of the people who were tied up, including the tattooed man next to the bodyguard. But she already had her answer in her heart. She wanted to stall until Tang Xin came back, but the message had been sent a long time ago and Tang Xin hadn't called back.

Xu Mingkai pushed the group to the ground with force, and the six of them fell together, struggling to get up.

The tattooed man following behind stood respectfully in front of Ji Hancheng, his face full of sycophancy. "Mr. Ji, I'm so sorry. I didn't know this woman was targeting your people. I made a mistake this time. If you ever need my help in the future, please just ask. Also, just name a price for this matter, and I'll offer it to you."

Ji Hancheng raised an eyebrow. "You can't afford to pay for it. You did the right thing this time. You can let it go."

The tattooed man was overjoyed that not only was he not asked to pay compensation, but he was also praised by Master Ji. He knew what Master Ji wanted him to play, so he took out his phone and clicked on the playback software. Then Chen Lan's voice echoed in the quiet living room, "I'll pay 100 million. I want to buy a woman's life. Tang Junyao, a neurosurgeon at the Capital Hospital."

Xu Mingkai gasped. This woman was truly vicious. No stepmother is ever a good person, especially one who takes over as a mistress. She's a snake in the heart. Luckily, the young mistress is lucky.

Tang Junyao smiled wryly, "Chen Lan, you really went to great lengths to destroy me. If you were a little more generous, I might have done as you wished."

Chen Lan knew that her secret had been exposed and that she could no longer pretend. There was no point in arguing anymore, so she admitted it directly: "Yes, I just want you dead. If you had died like your mother, how wonderful that would have been. If it weren't for you, would I have been unable to enter the Tang family genealogy all these years? Would I have been disliked by the old man? That old bastard refused to acknowledge me until his death. It's all because of you. You are an obstacle. I have to get rid of you. I dream of killing you, but you are too tough. You have survived time and time again."

Chen Lan had already given up and decided to say everything. Even if she didn't say it, she knew that Master Ji wouldn't let her off the hook. "Did you acquire Tang's shares?"

Tang Junyao was surprised. She had placed the order online. Wasn't Jisu Yuecheng always very good at keeping things confidential? So, were they desperate because the information was leaked?

While lost in thought, Ji Hancheng said indifferently, "I acquired it. Any objections?"

Chen Lan didn't believe Ji Ye's words and insisted on her own opinion, "Impossible. Tang Xin heard from others that the person behind the scenes is Tang Junyao. There's absolutely no mistake about that."

Ji Hancheng remained indifferent, but the coldness in his eyes had sunk to the bottom. "Is that so? Ms. Chen, if your relationship with your husband is so good, why didn't your husband tell you that he's been having a bad run of luck lately and has already lost so much that he's sold a lot of Tang's shares? It seems that your relationship isn't as steadfast as Ms. Chen thinks. Just today, your husband sold all his shares, leaving him with only 2%. Isn't that surprising?"

Ji Hancheng knew how to kill by destroying the heart. Chen Lan cared about the Tang family's property. A mistress who takes over is only after money and fame, and Ji Hancheng dealt her that blow.

Chen Lan stumbled and fell onto the sofa, her eyes glazed over, trying to convince herself that Master Ji was lying to her. But the next second, she rushed in front of Tang Junyao, raising a hand to slap her, but Tang Junyao swiftly grabbed it. She stood up and fiercely slapped Chen Lan four times in return, without stopping at all. Everyone present was stunned. Xu Mingkai couldn't help but sigh, "The young mistress is not to be trifled with."

Chen Lan's face, still covered in fruit pulp, instantly turned red and swollen. Her chest heaved with anger, but Tang Junyao pressed down on her chest, preventing her from moving. She could only glare at her with eyes full of hatred.

Tang Junyao liked Chen Lan's anxious look, as if she hated him but couldn't get rid of him. She smiled and kindly explained the origin of each slap: "Chen Lan, you bumped into me twice, so one slap is equal to one. You destroyed my family, so you're not at a loss for slapping me. You caused my mother to jump off a building, so this slap is even more justified. That's why I slapped you four times. You're welcome. I just love explaining things."

After being slapped four times, Chen Lan was a little dizzy, but her mind was still clear. She was not willing to be hit by this brat. "Tang Junyao, aren't you curious about why Tang Xin hates you so much? Haha, I won't tell you, and I won't tell you why your mother jumped off the building."

Tang Junyao wasn't drawn to why Tang Xin disliked her, because she had long since given up on Tang Xin and the word "father" was no longer in her mind. She wanted to know why her mother jumped off the building. She guessed that Chen Lan's involvement was one of the reasons, but what exactly would make a mother abandon her 10-year-old daughter and choose to take her own life?

"Tell me, why?" Her voice suddenly rose a few decibels as she grabbed Chen Lan's hair and asked fiercely, her emotions running high. Her mother, grandfather, and son were now her bottom line.

Ji Hancheng walked over, put his arm around her waist, and sat her down on the sofa. "She'll tell you, don't get excited, take a break."

Turning to Xu Mingkai, she said, "Have you recorded everything? Take it to the police station and have them explain."

Xu Mingkai had no sympathy for the woman on the ground. She deserved it. He was going to give her a proper explanation and make sure she was locked up in the bully zone.

After the matter was settled, Tang Junyao slapped her four times, and Chen Lan was taken away. However, hiring someone to commit murder would not result in the death penalty, which Tang Junyao was not satisfied with because her mother was already dead.

Although she didn't know whether Chen Lan was the indirect or direct perpetrator, there was no doubt that Chen Lan was involved.

Ji Hancheng seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, you're basically stuck in there for the rest of your life. She's definitely done more than one thing. We'll get her to talk. Everyone has weaknesses."

Tang Junyao nodded.

Once inside the car, Ji Hancheng suddenly said, "My weaknesses are you and our son. You come first, and our son comes second."

I was just feeling unpleasant, and now I've suddenly jumped to the channel of being in love. Isn't this screen-switching speed a bit too fast? My heart can't take it. Although it's fast, I was still pleasantly surprised.

She turned her face away, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The next second, Ji Hancheng reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers. The warmth of his palm spread throughout her body, giving her an indescribable flutter. He held her hand very tightly and opened his lips, "Let's go home."

Ji Hancheng never imagined that one day he would be so blinded by lust that he didn't want to go to work anymore, and only wanted to be with her. Even just holding hands like this, driving quietly and enjoying the scenery along the way, was a kind of romance.

For 30 years, he had never longed for such a peaceful life; he actually wanted a wife, children, and a warm bed.

At the same time, just after Chen Lan was arrested, Tang Junting returned with a happy expression. As she entered the living room, the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

She tried to find her mother, then turned to the maid and asked rudely, "Where's my mother?"

Fearing that Tang Junting would vent her anger on her, the maid said in a trembling voice, "Miss... Madam has been taken away by the eldest young lady."

Tang Junting didn't understand the maid's words. "Young Miss? I'm the only young lady of the Tang family in this house. You remember this, I'm not going to argue with you today because I'm in a good mood. Where did she take my mother?"

The maid nodded hurriedly, head bowed, and said, "They went to the police station."

Tang Junting was startled; her face immediately paled, and her voice rose, thinking she had misheard. "Police station?"

The maid nodded with her eyes downcast and told Tang Junting the truth about what had just happened in the living room, including the fact that Tang Junyao had slapped Chen Lan four times. The slaps were crisp and loud, and they were terrified at the time, but they felt a sense of satisfaction. Chen Lan and Tang Junting usually scolded them every day, and when they were in a bad mood, they would utter harsh words to them. This time, they felt relieved, but they couldn't show it on their faces.

Tang Junting never expected that her mother would hire a hitman to be that bitch, and then fail. What should she do now? She hurriedly took out her phone to call Tang Xin, but the call went through and no one answered.

She was in a panic. She had been in a good mood today because Ji Mingyuan had agreed to her request and said he would definitely marry her next month, but she needed to fulfill one condition. At first, she disagreed, but then she thought that it was worth it to marry into the Ji family, so she finally agreed.

I never expected my mother to do something like this. That bitch Tang Junyao is a devil, a madwoman. This is her mother, how could she do such a thing?

How good can a child raised in a family with flawed values ​​be? Tang Junting is a living example.

From a young age, she was instilled with the importance of money and power by Chen Lan, and was taught to be ruthless and live off men.
