On the other end, Qiao Yanjue’s face was cold, but his tone was aggravated.
“Dad, do you think this makes sense? I’m helping on this end, and they’re attacking me on that end…”
Qiao Zhengyuan couldn’t see his face and was instantly distressed.
“That’s too much!”
“Exactly!”
Although Liu Yiqin didn’t feel that her son was so vulnerable, it was wrong that Qiao Zhiqing and the others had gone to make trouble with Liu Manhong.
Liu Manhong was her only sister and her only family now, so how could she let people bully her?
Over the years, Liu Yiqin had suffered a lot in the Qiao family, and that was fine.
But what gave them the right to target her sister?
Back then, because of Liu Manhong’s divorce, Liu Yiqin was already very angry, and now they had made this mess. Did they really think she didn’t have a temper?
She looked at Qiao Zhengyuan, “What are you going to do?”
Qiao Zhengyuan was also angry. “What can I do? Let them destroy themselves!”
Although they were angry words, Qiao Zhengyuan was really upset with Qiao Zhiqing and the others.
With their younger brother helping, instead of being grateful, they actually did this! It was despicable!
Liu Yiqin looked at him suspiciously, “Are you really okay with that?”
Qiao Zhengyuan was indeed very capable in business, but a bit indecisive while handling family matters. Otherwise, she would not have suffered so much aggravation.
If it weren’t for Qiao Yanjue getting older and more capable, plus the fact that she had used a ruse to expose the temper of her stepchildren, how could she have gotten by so well?
Now that her son and sister were being bullied, she wasn’t going to just let things go.
“Dad, it’s drugs!” Qiao Yanjue said. “Since the evidence is so solid, Zhikun will be locked up for several years. If you help him…”
“I won’t!”
Qiao Zhengyuan interrupted the mother and son in annoyance, “I’m not so old that I’m this senile!”
If it was something else, he could help, but this kind of thing was definitely not okay!
Moreover, if he dared to rescue Ke Zhikun, Qiao Yanjue would flip out on him!
He was not enough of a fool to fall out with his own son for a grandson who had committed a crime.
Hearing the old man’s anger, Qiao Yanjue immediately said, “I know, Dad! You see the big picture!”
“Stop kissing up!” Qiao Zhengyuan spat. “Don’t change the subject! What exactly are you working on now?”
“Dad, of course I have to work hard so that I don’t ruin your reputation!” Qiao Yanjue laughed. “You can’t let people say that out of all the sons you have, none of them are successful!”
Qiao Zhengyuan was speechless.
That d.a.m.n brat! Qiao Yanjue was complimenting himself while stepping on his brothers!
However, Qiao Yanjue really wasn’t wrong.
The other brothers, Qiao Weiyue and Qiao Weisen, were no match for him, even combined.
Although the brothers now held different positions in the company, they were not capable.
If they were the children of an ordinary family, they would at most be managers of a small department now. How could they have reached such heights?
The oldest of the grandchildren, Qiao Haoming, was doing well, but he was just 20 years old and didn’t have enough experience.
Moreover, compared to Qiao Yanjue, he was still quite inferior.
When Qiao Yanjue was twenty years old, he had already managed quite a few big projects.
So although Qiao Zhengyuan was a little annoyed, he couldn’t really find a reason to scold him.
Liu Yiqin looked at her humiliated husband and admonished Qiao Yanjue on the other end, “Don’t just be busy with work. You have to combine work and rest.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I will. I still want to bring a daughter-in-law back to you!”
