Xie Nian swept away the potato chip remnants on her body and stood up. She gave Xie Cheng a comforting look.

She did not take her beautiful appearance to heart at all.

“Baby Chen, Jiaojiao, it’s very late. Go to sleep. You have to go to school in two days.”

“Yes, Mom.”

The two babies appeared quirky. Xie Nian was not worried that the two of them would not be able to adapt to the new school’s environment. Xie Jiaojiao’s social skills were unrivaled.

“Are you really not planning to go to Nian Cheng Corporation?”

Xie Cheng had wanted to ask Xie Nian about this for a long time. Didn’t her heart ache for the Nian Cheng Corporation at all? It was their mother’s blood, sweat, and tears.

“Xie Cheng, don’t you understand? Nian Cheng Corporation is already an empty shell. It has lost its former value and can’t be saved.”

“Xie Nian, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Since you already know that those people wanted to short sell from the start, why didn’t you stop them? You must be very happy watching Mother’s efforts be ruined.”

“It’s not like that. Chengcheng. My heart ached more than anyone else knowing the predicament Nian Cheng is in. However, I had no choice at that time. Xie Zhanan had been aiming for the position of the president of Nian Cheng Corporation from the start and he had already started making things difficult for the two of us.”

“Then are we going to let that bastard continue on like this?”

“No, Chengcheng, I want that bastard to pay the price. A painful price. Didn’t he want the position of the director of Niancheng Corporation? Didn’t he want the shares of Nian Cheng? Since he wants it, let’s give it to him. Let’s see if he can handle it all.”

Xie Nian had started planning since the day she left the country. She wanted to let that mother and daughter pair know that she had left the country because she couldn’t stay there any longer. She wanted to let their guards down so that it would be easier for her to do things.

Otherwise, she would just be a living target, forever living under the shadow of that mother and daughter pair. Even Xie Cheng would be implicated and be restrained from showcasing his skills.

Xie Zhizhi, let’s see who has the last laugh.

“Eldest Ms. Xie, is this what you meant by wanting to showcase your skills and go all out? Thanks to you, Xie Zhizhi’s design skills have gone up another level, but you’re still being a troll here.”

Hearing Xie Cheng mention Xie Zhizhi, Xie Nian raised her eyes reluctantly.

“Where did you see it? Why didn’t I see it?”

Xie Cheng pointed at his phone and said, “This is it. Do you see this? Isn’t this praising Xie Zhizhi? The most famous bluestocking designer in Jiang Capital, the second daughter of the Xie family who will never fail.”

Xie Nian glanced at it lightly. It was just a few words. It didn’t even dare to include a picture. Where did they get the confidence to say such a thing?

They were just playing to the gallery.

Xie Nian glanced at her vibrating phone and signaled Xie Cheng not to speak.

“Qiao Qiao, what happened?”

Usually, when the two of them were discussing something, she wouldn’t call Xie Nian’s personal phone. Unless it was something very important, the phone was just a simple drama-watching machine.

“The people from Nian Cheng took out a design blueprint. Our appraisal team had a look and they have already sent it to your email. However, Sister Nian, I hope you won’t be angry after seeing it.”

“Haha, what kind of design would make me angry?”

“You’ll know after you see it. We’ve contacted the people from Nian Cheng to meet in five days to discuss the exact details regarding our collaboration.”

Xie Nian expressed assent and turned on her computer to look at her inbox. What kind of work was it that made Qiao Qiao so afraid, and even worried that she would do something? She hung up in advance.

Crack.

The phone that was originally intact in Xie Nian’s hand instantly broke into two halves. The metal piece that came out from inside the phone cut her hand, but she had no reaction at all.

Xie Zhizhi actually dared to use her mother’s design as her own. She wondered where she got her confidence from.

It seemed that during her mother’s death back then, Xie Zhanan had done something. It turned out that he had hidden in the corner and taken all of her mother’s works for himself.

For so many years, he did not make any moves, and the moment he did he made a big move. Incredible, Xie Zhanan. There was no signature on her mother’s drafts. That was probably what made Xie Zhanan laid his eyes on them.

Did he think that she would have no tricks up her sleeve anymore?

“Chengcheng, release a post on the Internet in the name of your company. Collect all of Mother’s design drafts from back then and use Nian Cheng Corporation’s shares as chips. Regardless of whether they provide information on the whereabouts or other forms of assistance, they will receive cash in return.”

Although Xie Cheng was very puzzled, he would do his best to fulfill Xie Nian’s request.

From the looks of it, Xie Nian was probably really angry. He wondered what she was angry about..
