Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 308 Accident

Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Accident Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Accident Ming Yao had not yet told Old Madam Ming that she and Gu Siting were getting divorced.

She was afraid she couldn’t withstand the blow.

“He’s busy with work and couldn’t make it.”

Old Madam Ming did not suspect anything.

After all, Gu Siting was the Person in Charge of the Gu Family, with a myriad of tasks to handle. It was normal for him to be too busy to visit.

Jiang Biyun and Ming Wan approached Old Madam Ming, and after offering their blessings, Jiang Biyun looked toward Ming Yao, “It’s normal for a man to be busy with work, but today is your grandmother’s seventieth birthday. No matter how busy, he should make the time to come and offer his wishes, shouldn’t he?”

“If he’s not here, it’s either because you haven’t done enough or he doesn’t value your maternal family.” Jiang Biyun curled her lips, “Young Master Xiao hasn’t even gotten engaged to our Wanwan yet, but he will be here later!”

Old Madam Ming frowned at Jiang Biyun, “If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t!”

Seeing Old Madam Ming defend Ming Yao like this made Jiang Biyun’s face darken, “Mom, I’m only telling the truth. I think Fourth Master must be sick of Ming Yao by now, to not even show up on such an important day!”

Old Madam Ming was so angry her face turned green.

Ming Yao soothed Old Madam Ming’s chest and swept a sharp gaze toward Jiang Biyun, with a snort of laughter, “I truly can’t compare to Mrs. Jiang’s charm.”

Jiang Biyun, seeing the expression on Ming Yao’s face, hesitated slightly within her heart.

What kind of expression was that on Ming Yao?

Why did she seem to sweep a glance towards Shen Chunlin, who was not far away?

Could she have discovered something?

No, that’s impossible!

Her affair with Shen Chunlin was quite secretive; Ming Yao couldn’t have possibly found out!

A commotion arose from the entrance of the banquet hall.

The Xiao Family had arrived.

Ever since the incident where Ming Wan was stabbed and the situation reversed, her reputation had plummeted.

It was with great effort that she finally obtained Xiao Yichen’s forgiveness, and she had kept a low profile recently.

She did not dare to provoke Ming Yao again, fearful that she would really end up with nothing!

Ming Wan walked over to Xiao Yichen with a tender smile.

Regardless, she now had to keep Xiao Yichen firmly in her grasp!

Seeing Xiao Yichen, Mr. Xiao, and Madam Xiao all come over, Jiang Biyun glanced at Ming Yao with contempt, “This is the difference between you two sisters. Look how the Xiao Family treats Wanwan like their own. What about you? Has anyone from the Gu Family shown up at all?”

As soon as her words fell, Lu Zhou arrived.

As the Chief Assistant to Gu Siting, everyone recognized him.

Lu Zhou arrived, gifted a present, then left.

The gift was a valuable Jadeite Carving.

Although the present was luxurious, Jiang Biyun and Ming Wan both noticed that when Lu Zhou presented the gift, he saw Ming Yao but did not call her ‘wife.’

He didn’t even say a word to Ming Yao.

What did this imply?

It implied that Ming Yao was no longer favored!

Jiang Biyun and Ming Wan exchanged glances, and both could see the schadenfreude in each other’s eyes.

Without Gu Siting’s protection, they wondered how Ming Yao would continue to act arrogant!

Jiang Biyun walked over to Ming Guoan and whispered a few words to him.

Xia Yiwan’s family received an invitation and also arrived.

Ming Wan looked at Xia Yiwan’s family arriving with displeasure, twisting her brows.

She always looked down on the daughters of the newly rich.

But Xia Yiwan’s sense of style seemed to be exceptional, making her look very fashionable and chic.

Xia Yiwan presented her gift to Old Madam Ming.

Old Madam Ming, knowing Xia Yiwan was Ming Yao’s close friend, held her hand and spoke with her for quite a while.

While Ming Yao and Xia Yiwan were talking and weren’t beside Old Madam Ming, Ming Guoan called the old lady into the room.

Jiang Biyun followed them into the room.

Old Madam Ming looked at Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun with a stern face, “What do you want by calling me in here?”

As Jiang Biyun’s attitude towards Ming Yao worsened, her dislike for Jiang Biyun had intensified.

What had they promised her when she had entrusted Yaoyao to their care?

“Mom, you’re getting on in years, and eventually, the Ming Corporation will have to be handed over to me. Transfer all your shares to me!”

Ming Guoan brought out a share transfer agreement.

Old Madam Ming widened her eyes, “You called me in here just for this?”

Ming Guoan shamelessly said, “Mom, after you sign this, later in front of all the guests, announce that the Ming Corporation will be under my control from now on. Rest assured, I won’t let you down!”

Old Madam Ming was so furious with Ming Guoan.

“Who said I was going to hand over Ming Corporation to you to manage?”

Jiang Biyun furrowed her brows and looked at Old Madam Ming, “Could it be that you plan to give it to Ming Yao?”

Old Madam Ming scoffed, “Yaoyao, though young, is no less capable than you two. Handing it over to her is the wise decision!”

Old Madam Ming glared at Ming Guoan, “Don’t forget, if it hadn’t been for the funds your sister provided, Ming Corporation would have collapsed long ago!”

“Mom, don’t bring up that shameless woman–”

Ming Guoan hadn’t finished speaking when Old Madam Ming slapped him hard.

“Ming Guoan, she is your own sister!”

“I don’t have such a shameless sister!”

Because he disliked that sister, by extension, he also looked down on Ming Yao!

Old Madam Ming was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

“You’d better just sign the document, otherwise don’t recognize me as your son anymore!”

Old Madam Ming, her fingers trembling, pointed towards the door, “Get out!”

Ming Guoan and Jiang Biyun were stunned.

They hadn’t expected Old Madam Ming to truly plan on handing the Ming Corporation over to a mere woman like Ming Yao!

After all, following the death of Ming Ying, Ming Guoan was her only son!

“Mom, have you gone senile?” Ming Guoan roared with emotion.

Old Madam Ming glanced at Jiang Biyun, “It seems that you’ve been bewitched by this woman!”

Ming Guoan used to be different; though he was somewhat mediocre, at least he wasn’t utterly rebellious!

Seeing that Old Madam Ming was determined to leave the wealth to Ming Yao, Jiang Biyun gave Ming Guoan a meaningful look.

Ming Guoan pulled out a spray bottle, which Jiang Biyun had acquired on the black market, capable of paralyzing a person’s nerves for a short period as soon as it was sprayed on them.

“Mom, since you’re being so stubborn, you can’t blame me for what happens next…”

When Old Madam Ming saw the spray Ming Guoan took out, she realized it was dangerous and turned to leave.

But Jiang Biyun blocked her.

In the scuffle, Old Madam Ming, an elderly woman, was naturally no match for Jiang Biyun.

The old lady stumbled and accidentally fell to the floor.

Her forehead hit the corner of a cabinet, instantly splitting open and blood gushed out.

The pupils of the old lady dilated, and she soon lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Ming Guoan’s eyes showed a mix of panic and shock.

Jiang Biyun’s brows were deeply furrowed, her face marked with discontent and anger.

This damned old hag had fainted before signing, of all things?

“Hurry, take my mom to the hospital–”

Before Ming Guoan could finish speaking, Jiang Biyun interrupted him, “Are you crazy? The place is full of guests outside. If the old lady is taken out covered in blood, what will people think of us?”
