You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

This was the first time Jiang Che had heard Su Qinghe bring up the Su family's past business dealings on her own initiative, and he was somewhat shocked that Su Qinghe knew about these things.

According to Su Qinghe, the Su family had always treated her badly, subjecting her to various forms of beatings, verbal abuse, and mistreatment.

Although they would teach her more about etiquette, that was in preparation for sending her out for a business marriage in the future.

Given Su Qinghe's low status in the Su family, she would normally not have the opportunity to take over the Su family business. As for business matters, how could Su's father allow Su Qinghe to know about them?

To resolve these doubts in his heart, Jiang Che turned his gaze back to the girl beside him, waiting for her to continue.

"My dad never let me get involved in any of the family company's affairs, but I'm not stupid. I know that if I want to make money in the future, I have to take the company from my dad."

"So when I was little, I would take the opportunity to clean the room and secretly hide in his study to look at the financial statements he brought back from the company."

"After seeing so much, I understand how many connections need to be smoothed out to get a freight line going, and I also know how to check for kickbacks in the supply chain."

"The reason the Su family went bankrupt was not due to mismanagement," Su Qinghe continued, "but because the cash flow was disrupted, and someone was behind it all, colluding with several suppliers to cut off the Su family's escape route."

"I understand all the tricks and methods involved very well."

But I chose not to tell them these things.

The last half of the sentence was what Su Qinghe said in her heart.

She knew long ago that there were serious problems with the Su family's business model, and she also knew that the person behind the scheme was her uncle, Su Daqiang.

However, Su Qinghe did not tell a single word of these things to anyone in the Su family.

She wanted to watch with her own eyes how these villains who had humiliated her for over a decade would gradually fall into the abyss.

Jiang Dahai listened attentively to what Su Qinghe said, and occasionally nodded in agreement.

He was the most experienced in business among the people present, and he had also investigated the reasons for the Su family's downfall, so he knew that this little girl was not talking nonsense.

Jiang Dahai glanced at his son with some relief; the brat's taste had finally become normal.

"If I can sort out the mess left by the Su family, I can naturally understand the future business landscape of the Jiang family."

"Auntie, you're right. The capital is a dangerous place. If A-Che is going to take the helm, he needs someone by his side who can help him keep an eye out for backstabbing and handle complicated interpersonal relationships."

Jiang Che turned his head to look at Su Qinghe. The girl's profile, under the warm yellow light of the private room, revealed a cold and resolute demeanor.

She was completely different from the clingy, soft-spoken, and sickly girl he usually knew who would snuggle into his arms at the drop of a hat.

"I have nothing left, so I dare to bet everything and stay by A-Che's side forever."

"Anyone who dares to touch A-Che's interests, anyone who tries to block his path, I'll make sure they die."

"I can definitely be the knife you mentioned."

As she spoke the last few words, Su Qinghe could no longer conceal the morbid possessiveness in her eyes.

She laid bare her intense and obsessive love for Jiang Che before Bai Qing.

For Jiang Che, she was ready to sacrifice herself at any time, just to tear others apart without hesitation.

Silence fell over the private room once again.

Bai Qing didn't respond immediately. The two women stared at each other across Jiang Che, neither of them backing down in their gaze or aura.

Jiang Che, caught in the middle, was caught in the middle and couldn't see anyone properly. He kept glancing at Su Qinghe and then at his mother.

I feel like their gazes are piercing my face...

Jiang Dahai was also getting restless. He coughed twice, making a fist, trying to smooth things over, "Well, honey, the kids are still young, don't scare them, let's eat..."

After all, in a high-society dinner party where etiquette and rules are valued, such harsh words with a bloody undertone are really not appropriate.

Jiang Che also frowned deeply, and under the table, he squeezed Su Qinghe's palm tightly, trying to make her tone down her murderous aura.

This girl really doesn't want to leave herself any way out.

They've revealed all their cards and fangs, clearly prepared to either be accepted by the Jiang family or be completely kicked out.

Just as Jiang Che was about to bite the bullet and speak up to smooth things over for Su Qinghe, Bai Qing, who was sitting to the left of the main seat, finally reacted.

A rare smile unexpectedly appeared in her usually calm and collected eyes.

"Whoever blocks the way, will die?" Bai Qing repeated these words, her tone playful, "Quite the boast."

Su Qinghe did not back down. "I have the ability, and I have the courage."

"If it were the old Su Qinghe, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to do it, but now, as long as it's for A-Che, I'm willing to do anything."

Bai Qing didn't speak, but simply looked quietly at the slender yet rebellious little girl in front of her.

In that brief moment, she caught a glimpse of madness in Su Qinghe's eyes.

This madness is not the hysterical frenzy of a mental illness, but rather an extreme calmness and rationality.

She is willing to sacrifice everything, including herself, to achieve her goals.

This ruthlessness, this wolfish nature of tearing apart any enemy to protect their territory, was exactly to Bai Qing's liking.

A behemoth family like the Jiang family needs no little white rabbits who only know how to cry and beg for comfort.

That kind of woman, if thrown into the glamorous world of the capital, wouldn't even leave a trace. She might be fine for casual flings, but there's absolutely no way she'd be married.

"Let's eat."

After a long while, Bai Qing withdrew her gaze, picked up her chopsticks again, and uttered those three words in a low voice.

Those three simple words brought a sigh of relief to everyone present.

Jiang Che, in particular, felt a sense of relief after seeing that his mother neither argued nor scolded Su Qinghe.

Uncontrollable joy then overflowed from the corners of his eyes and brows, and his large hand holding Su Qinghe trembled slightly with excitement.

As long as Bai Qing doesn't refute or scold, it basically means she has already agreed.

How could Jiang Che not be happy?

……

Although the atmosphere at the subsequent dinner was still not particularly lively, the tense and oppressive feeling had completely disappeared.

When Jiang Dahai saw that his wife hadn't lost her temper, he immediately resumed his cheerful demeanor and kept urging everyone to eat.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Everyone had almost finished eating, so the waiter removed the leftovers and replaced them with light tea and fruit platters to aid digestion.

Bai Qing, who hadn't made any big moves until now, suddenly put down her teacup.

She raised her left hand, her fingertips resting on a fine mutton-fat jade bracelet on her right wrist.

With a slight pull, the bracelet slipped into her palm.
