the candy from Zhao Zhao's palm. She peeled away the wrapper and popped it into her mouth. The fragrance of roses lingered on her lips and teeth. Their region was famous for its rose cultivation, and...Jian Tong also had a sliver of hope that her arrival could sway the Jian family's decision, at least, in front of her, they would still consider her thoughts and cancel today's auction.

But, as things turned out, this also happened to illustrate the cruelty that the Jian family hid beneath their facade.

In the distance, Jian Zhen Dong was saying some pleasantries. After finishing his pleasantries, he got down to business.

Therefore, our family has decided to entrust the “Only Love Fund” to capable hands so that it can fulfill its true potential. This is a decision we have made together as a family.

Then, I hereby declare that the "Love Only Fund" is officially launched with an initial bid of eighty million.

Upon hearing this, Jian Tong's face was filled with astonishment: "Impossible! The 'Only Love Fund' had a surface flow of eight billion yuan back then! If you truly calculated it, the assets of the entire 'Only Love Fund' exceeded twenty billion yuan! How could it be auctioned off at a starting price of 80 million!"

She was shocked!

Nearby, Shen Xiujin remained unmoved. He wasn't surprised at all. Jian Tong looked at the indifference on her companion's face and had a bad feeling. She immediately looked at the expressions of the other people around... Suddenly, she gave a wry smile: It turned out that everyone here knew except her.

His eyes turned complex, gazing at Jian Zhen Dong who was in control of the situation. His mouth felt bitter, but no bitterness could compare to the pain in his heart... How could they bear it, emptying "Wei Ai" like this.

Even if they don't care about her, they should at least care about the deceased grandfather!

How can this be... so cruel and selfish... destroying the crystallization of two generations' hard work!

"Haven't you ever thought that 'Vi Ai' is because the Jian family, father and son, were incompetent and squandered their assets, forcing them to auction off 'Vi Ai'"

After being released from prison, in Shen Xiujin's eyes, Jian Tong, who had always been submissive and quick to bend her knee, now had a glint of intelligence in her eyes. Jian Tong shook her head and said, "Impossible, Dad... Jian Zhendong may be lacking in pioneering spirit, but he is cautious. With his abilities, if he were willing, 'Wei Ai' would never have reached the point where it was auctioned off at a starting price of 80 million." At this point, the light in her eyes dimmed: "The only explanation is that he emptied the 'Wei Ai Fund'. And today, he wants to squeeze the last bit of value out of 'Wei Ai'."

These words were simple to say, but the cracks in her heart grew deeper and deeper... She clenched her fists tightly, desperately restraining herself. Otherwise, she was afraid she couldn't help but rush forward and punch the man who she had called "father" for over twenty years.

These people around her looked as if they knew exactly what was going on. They knew that the "Only Love Fund" wasn't much better than an empty shell, but many were still interested, their bids coming one after another. She listened to the rising and falling calls, ... hating her own helplessness, hating that she could only watch, could only clench her fists tighter, letting her nails dig into her palm.

"You've run 'Wei Ai' so well." Shen Xiujin said meaningfully, extending a hand to pull hers, gently opening her clenched fist.

Jian Tong gritted her teeth... Yes, she had operated "Wei'ai" so well that even though everyone present knew that the "Wei'ai Foundation" was nothing but a shell now, they were still vying for it. Because the reputation of "Wei'ai" remained, and its popularity hadn't diminished!

She hated it!

"Are there still any more people holding signs" She looked at Jian Zhen Dong who was in high spirits and addressing the guests who had come today. "The 'Only Love Foundation' was founded by my late father. Since its inception, 'Only Love' has been the center of attention. I believe all the distinguished guests present here have heard of the name 'Only Love',

My late father, Mr. Jian, could say that the thing he was most proud of before his passing wasn't the Jian Group, but 'Only Love'. If no one bids anymore, then 'Only Love' will belong to Old Master He today.”

Jan almost bit her teeth off!

With his eyes wide open, he stared intently at Jian Zhen Dong... How could he possibly say that! How could he be so shameless to mention grandpa in this situation!

"Well then, congratulations to Old Master He. I imagine my father would be overjoyed if he were still alive, that 'Wei'ai' has finally found the right person." Jian Zhen Dong said in polite words.

Mr. He chuckled and said, “Master Jian is also one of the people I, Mr. He, have most admired in my life. Even if Master Jian were underground now, he would surely be happy knowing that ‘Wei Ai’ has been entrusted to my He family.”

When the old master said this, the expressions of those around him became strange. Everyone knew what kind of temper Old Master Jian had. 'Wei Ai' was the most important thing to Old Master Jian before his death, and now it has fallen into the hands of another. It is true that Old Master Jian cannot rest in peace underground, so who would be happy!

Jian Zhen Dong's expression also stiffened, a trace of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. On the side, Mrs. Jian saw that something was wrong and hurriedly smiled, saying:

"That's right, that's right, Old Master He is speaking…"

Listening to Old Master He's laughter, Jian Zhen Dong's polite words, and Madam Jian's shameless attempts to smooth things over... Jian Tong's hand was trembling, her shoulders shaking... Her whole body was trembling!

"He Fengbei, would my grandfather be pleased down there Have you gone to ask him yourself" In the midst of brilliant lights and a grand celebration, a discordant, gruff voice suddenly rang out.

For a moment, an eerie silence descended upon the area, so profound that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone turned their heads to follow the sound, only to see a woman with her head bowed in the flickering lamplight. It was from her mouth that the gruff voice had emerged.

The next second!

Several voices rose at once!

"Child, quickly apologize to Master He!" This was Mrs. Jian.

"Damn beast, who gave you the guts to cause trouble!" This was Mr. Jian

"You scum! You dare to curse my grandfather to death!" This is... He Wǔ!

While Old Master He didn't speak immediately, his face turned quite grim. His old eyes glinted menacingly at Jian Tong.

Jian Tong desperately held back, her head drooping low, but... she could no longer contain herself!

My heart is in turmoil. Besides pain, there's a strong anger and hatred!

Countless eyes were watching, people only saw the woman under the light, slowly raising her head, a pair of eyes, slowly falling on Mr. and Mrs. Jian's faces.

“Your grandfather has passed away, Mr. Jian. Your grandfather was the one who raised you; he probably never imagined, even in death, that years later, he would be insulted by his own son, and that this would happen in a public setting where everyone could witness the humiliation!”

Jian Tong struggled desperately to hold back, barely able to contain the urge to tear apart the man she called her father!

"Jian Zhendong! You are a disgrace to your family! You betray the memory of your deceased grandfather! You don't deserve to possess anything that belonged to him!"apers were laid out on the table.At a glance, Shen Xiujin angrily threw the newspaper aside. His face was ashen, and he gritted out through his teeth: "Investigate! Find out who did this!"Shen Er had...
