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

The banquet has ended.

Tang Junyao discovered that her body was also acting strangely. Waves of uncontrollable heat surged up, and even her breath was hot. Every cell in her body was jumping around joyfully.

As a doctor, she knew that this wasn't due to the high temperature and dryness of the villa, but rather because she had contracted an infection.

This once again shattered her understanding of this family; just to scheme against her, they were willing to gamble with the entire banquet and drug the children and the elderly.

The people who came tonight are all from wealthy and noble families, and their identities are beyond estimation. The Tang family probably can't afford to offend any of them.

He's really gone mad. Tang Xin is determined to squander everything his grandfather left behind before he'll give up.

She turned to look at Su Xue, whose face was flushed and who was leaning on the table, and realized that Su Xue was in a worse state than herself. Looking at Ji Mingyuan, she saw him with a lewd look, his eyes blatantly naked as he looked at her.

There's no doubt that this playboy has also been caught.

In the end, he had underestimated the Tang family and let his guard down.

She nudged Su Xue, preparing to cry for help: "Call Su Yu, quick, we've probably all been drugged." She could feel the hot breath she exhaled.

Su Xue shook her head to clear her mind, took out her phone, the screen was a little blurry, she shook her head again, squinted to find the number, and dialed a voice call before she could see it clearly. She stumbled to a corner and said softly, "Brother, come pick me up quickly, Yao Yao and I were drugged at the Tang family's house." Her words were a little slurred, but the person on the other end understood the gist of it.

The Tang family, Yao Yao was drugged (several key sentences).

Yao Yao, isn't the one who's close to the eldest daughter of the Su family, Tang Junyao, her sister-in-law?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jinnan hung up the voice call, glanced at Han Yue on the other end, said nothing, and quickly dialed Ji Hancheng's number, "Go to the Tang family right away, your sister-in-law has been drugged."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue immediately stood up, grabbed his clothes, and prepared to leave, saying, "Let's go together."

Tang Junyao, fearing for her safety, decided to abandon her mother's belongings and leave with Su Xue; her rationality was still somewhat lacking.

We can't let Su Xue get hurt; she's determined to come because she's afraid of being bullied.

We absolutely must ensure that nothing happens to her during this time.

She was about to take the dazed Su Xue away when she said, "Where are you going, sister? Are you about to leave? Wait a little longer? It's been so long since we've been here. Let's catch up. Your mother hasn't even taken her things yet. Why are you in such a hurry? I'll go get them for you in a bit." Tang Junting's scheming attempt to persuade her to stay was a subtle way of saying, "Wait a little longer and I'll go get them for you."

"Get out of here! Don't you know what you've done? Your whole family has no moral compass whatsoever. You've completely shattered our worldview." She grabbed Su Xue and tried to leave.

The door slammed shut.

Tang Junyao's agitation intensified, and her consciousness gradually faded. She pinched her palm hard with her fingernails, trying to regain her senses. It seemed that she wouldn't be allowed to leave so easily.

He took off his coat and covered the ailing Su Xue with it. With a swift movement, he chopped Su Xue unconscious.

Tang Junyao gently placed Su Xue on the sofa in the living room, then turned around and stared at Tang Xin with eyes full of hatred, but also with a faint expectation. "So you're not planning to release her? Have you thought this through? This is the eldest daughter of the Su family. If something happens to her in your Tang family today, your Tang family's stock will probably plummet tomorrow."

She hoped he would still have some consideration for the Su family, even if it was out of fear, and at the same time, she was testing whether his conscience was completely gone.

Tang Xin's brow twitched. If Su Xue really did get into trouble at the Tang family today, given the Su family's nature, they were certainly capable of doing something to bankrupt him. He hadn't expected Chen Lan's daughter to have such a method—poisoning the entire table. This made him a little panicked. The people who came tonight were all influential people he had painstakingly invited, hoping to befriend them in the future. What if they went back and found themselves with abnormal health conditions?

As luck would have it, Tang Xin's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and his hand trembled three times as he held the phone.

With a trembling voice, he answered, "Hey, Principal Zhang, are you home yet?"

An angry roar came from the other end of the line, "If anything happens to my grandson tonight, Tang Xin, I'll never forgive you." The other person snorted and hung up.

Just a few seconds later, the phone rang again. "Hello, Mr. Bai."

He roared again, "Tang Xin, you're fucking insane! You just wait, if you dare to drug my wife, we're done working together!"

Tang Xin's fingers trembled in panic as he glared coldly at Tang Junting, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Tang Junyao's body cells were buzzing with activity, drilling into every part of her body.

Tang Xin swallowed hard and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I didn't drug her. I wouldn't use the banquet as leverage against you. We can take Miss Su home, but you can't leave. If you sign the share transfer agreement, I can guarantee your safe departure."

Tang Junyao laughed, a chilling, desolate laugh. This was her father. "So you're saying it was your daughter and wife who did this, and you knew nothing about it? You're truly laughable. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm married. My property is joint property of the couple. Even if I die here today, you won't get a single penny."

Tang Xin's forehead veins were bulging, and his face turned pale with anger.

Ji Mingyuan's mouth went dry the moment he saw Tang Junyao, so he drank a lot of alcohol and beverages, and he was feeling quite tipsy at that moment.

The father and daughter confront each other.

Ji Mingyuan rushed over to hug Tang Junyao with stars in his eyes, only to be kicked to the ground by her flying kick.

He turned his head and glanced at Su Xue, who was still unconscious. He shook his head and pinched his arm hard. He had used up all his strength in that kick, and now his body felt weak and a sense of lightness and etherealness was gradually creeping over him.

Tang Junting never imagined that person would put something in the drinks of so many people. This matter had become quite serious, and she was feeling uneasy.

But things had already come to this point, and there was no room for failure. He leaned close to his mother's ear and whispered a few words, his pleading eyes trying to pull Chen Lan away.

Chen Lan nodded knowingly and dismissed the servants. It was unrealistic to bring Tang Junyao into the room; she could only leave the space to Ji Mingyuan to do his thing.

Chen Lan walked over to Tang Xin and advised him, "I'll try to figure out what to do about the client, but look at what's happened today. Even if you let her go safely, she won't sign the agreement. We might as well leave some evidence and take a video."

Tang Xin hesitated for a moment, then looked up at his daughter, who was still glaring at him with hatred despite being drugged. He steeled his heart and agreed to Chen Lan's idea.

Their plan was to shift the blame to Ji Mingyuan afterward. Since the Ji family was powerful, they would say that Ji Mingyuan had taken a liking to Tang Junyao and threatened them to give their daughter to her, which was why they had no choice but to agree. They claimed that the Ji family wouldn't do anything to Ji Mingyuan, at most they would just beat him up.

Suddenly, a 12-year-old child rushed out and blocked Tang Junyao's path. "Mom and Dad, what do you want to do? Are you trying to bully my sister?"

Chen Lan hurriedly pulled her son, "Silly boy, your sister is drunk. Let her sober up in the living room. Let's go upstairs first."

Tang Xinchao's Chen Lan ordered, "Take him up."

The son, Chen Junyan, refused to leave. He had taken the day off to attend his mother's birthday party, but he disliked such occasions, so he hid upstairs, saying, "I'm not going. Let my sister go to the hospital. You can't bully her."

Tang Junting glanced anxiously at Ji Mingyuan, whose lust had deepened, then turned to scold her younger brother, "Go upstairs and study. Stop meddling in adult matters. What does a little kid like you know? You think she appreciates your sincerity? Dream on. I'm your older sister."

Chen Lan didn't want her son to see such a dirty side, so she had the bodyguards drag her upstairs.

Unfortunately, Chen Junyan was not strong enough to be a match for several burly men. He was carried upstairs and locked in a room, with bodyguards guarding the door to prevent him from coming out.

Chen Junyan kept banging on the door and shouting.

After her son was taken upstairs, Chen Lan prepared to pull Tang Xin away. "Old Tang, let's go. Look how much Young Master Ji likes Yao Yao. We can't disturb him. What if Young Master Ji wakes up tomorrow and causes trouble for our company?"

Tang Xin's eyes lit up; he understood what Chen Lan meant and stepped into the study.

Tang Junting, however, did not leave and hid to the side to prepare for filming.

She must find incriminating evidence against Tang Junyao! She must ruin her.

Tang Junyao's legs went weak, so she had no choice but to sit down next to Su Xue to relieve the pain. She had scratched her arm until it bled.

Overwhelmed by lust, Ji Mingyuan rushed to Tang Junyao's side and said, "Sister-in-law, I've missed you so much! I've been dreaming about you. Sister-in-law, let me kiss you."

Tang Junyao slowly moved to the side, trying to get away from him. Ji Mingyuan, who was completely out of it, was spewing vulgarities, his eyes glued to Tang Junyao, his gaze lingering on her breasts. "Sister-in-law, just let me sleep with you once, just once. I promise I'll be very gentle, it will be very comfortable."

As he spoke, he lunged at Tang Junyao. Tang Junyao was also under the influence of the drug, and her internal organs were in pain. This Tang Junting wanted to kill her. How much drug had she given her? With the last bit of her remaining rationality, she slapped Ji Mingyuan and said, "Get lost. If you're not afraid of death, then come any closer."
