Xie Zhanan was overwrought. Jiang Wanning had too many drafts and it was too troublesome to organize them. However, his appointment with Xie Nian was tomorrow.

His phone sounded noisily at the side. Did that woman Xia Chu not know what was the most important thing right now? He had to get the shares of Nian Cheng Corporation as soon as possible.

“No matter what it is, it’s not important. We’ll discuss it tomorrow after I’m done with my work.”

Xia Chu looked at her phone after Xie Zhanan hung up and gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. Did Xie Zhanan still care about the two of them?

“Mom, did Father say that he would chase that shameless Xie Nian out of the house?”

Xie Zhizhi was full of anticipation and she did not notice Xia Chu’s tightly clenched hands.

“Mom, why aren’t you saying anything? Is he going to do that?” Xie Zhizhi was stunned for a while. Xia Chu had only gone out for a minute just now. There was no way she could have explained the whole story.

That could only mean that Xie Zhanan didn’t pick up her call at all.

“Your father might be busy. We can call back later—”

“Busy? How is that possible? What’s more important than his daughter? Is it because of the shares in Xie Nian and her brother’s hands? That must be the reason.” Xie Zhizhi shouted frantically.

“Zhizhi, listen to Mom—”

“I don’t want to. You’re useless. How could I have a mother like you? It’s a humiliation. If you were like that b*tch’s mother, I wouldn’t be in this state now.”

Pa!

Xia Chu slapped Xie Zhizhi ruthlessly. Her eyes were red. A child should not mind his mother being ugly. Xie Zhizhi, the daughter who she had raised for more than twenty years, actually said such words. She really was a good daughter.

“Mom, where are you going? Mom—”

Chen Hao felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of this mother and daughter pair. Nothing good happened every time he bumped into them.

“Hiss, President, you didn’t see it just now. Xie Zhizhi and her mother had a huge fight and they parted on bad terms. That scene was even more interesting than a television drama.”

“Really? I didn’t know you still had the spare time to watch television dramas.”

Chen Hao looked at Ruan Mu alertly, with a wretched smile on his face. “President Ruan, there’s no time. Where did the time come from? It’s all because my girlfriend often watches these things. That’s why I knew a little about it, really.”

“Is that so? Come on up. Take off your clothes.”

Chen Hao abruptly hugged his clothes and wrapped his arms around his thin body. His face was flushed as he said, “President, I don’t swing this way.”

“This way?”

“Yes, that way.”

“That way?”

“Yes, I don’t swing that way.”

“What are you talking about? Hurry up and come up. Take off your clothes and give them to me. Throw this shirt away for me. Hurry up.”

It was only then did Chen Hao realize that President Ruan was still wearing the same clothes as before. Being tortured by Xie Zhizhi did made it hard for the President. Every time he encountered Xie Zhizhi, he would have to waste a piece of clothing.

But, President, is it okay for me to go shirtless like this? At least let me wear the clothes that you’re not wearing. I have a family. I have to watch my image.

“Throw it away. Don’t let this shirt appear in front of me.”

President, you’re really shameless.

“Hehe, Niannian, you’re here early. These drafts really took me a lot of effort.”

Xie Nian asked for a cup of Americano coffee from the waiter and took a sip. Only then did she look at Xie Zhanan and said amusedly, “Really? You’ve worked hard.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. This is what I should do as your father. Looking at these drafts, I got reminded of your mother. If your mother is still alive, then the four of us will be so happy together.”

Xie Nian sneered. They had already shed all pretense of cordiality. Did he really think that she didn’t understand what happened? Wasn’t Xie Zhizhi evidence of him cheating?

He had claimed that she was his stepdaughter to the outside world, but the truth was no secret in Jiang Capital.

“Where’s the item?”

“Niannian, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that, look—”

Xie Nian looked at Xie Zhanan mockingly and showed him the share transfer document. The deal merely consisted of a pile of paper. It was meaningless to Xie Nian and it was not as important as her mother’s drafts.

“Niannian, if you encounter any problems in the future, come to Nian Cheng Corporation to look for me. I will help you resolve it.”

Xie Nian smiled and said slowly, “Father, I’ve sent you a big present. You can take a look and see if you like it..”
