"I already told you, I gave Jiang Xing a chance to be cured of the poison. Unfortunately, he handed that chance over to Jiang Yonghe. So, his current suffering is entirely his own doing. As for you, Jiang Zhao, if you ever dare to harbor ill intentions toward me again, your fate next time won't necessarily be any better than Jiang Xing's." Jiang Youli's eyes turned cold as she finished speaking, warning him, "Get out of the way, or I don't mind running you over. As long as I don't kill you, I have more than enough money to compensate you."
Jiang Zhao knew that this biological sister of his always did exactly what she said!
Just like when she previously threatened to make their family lose everything, and now their family had truly been mercilessly kicked out of the Jiang family by their grandfather!
If he continued to block the car, his sister would definitely run him over! Definitely!
To prevent the situation from worsening, Jiang Zhao had no choice but to step aside, looking utterly devastated.
Jiang Youli slammed on the gas pedal, and the car roared away.
The moment the car passed by, Jiang Zhao reached out a hand and his lips moved, but in the end, he did not say a word.
Because even if he had spoken, his sister in the car wouldn't have been able to hear him clearly anyway.
Watching Jiang Youli's car gradually disappear into the distance, Jiang Zhao's hand holding the breakfast bag helplessly loosened. He then clutched his head with both hands and squatted down in agony.
What exactly did he have to do to earn his sister's forgiveness? To be able to live together as a reunited and harmonious family once again.
Expressionless, Jiang Youli watched Jiang Zhao getting further and further away in her rearview mirror. She didn't find him pitiful; she only found him ridiculous.
The reason Jiang Zhao was in so much pain was merely because their family was now down and out. If their family had successfully inherited all the Jiang family's assets from the old man, even if they knew they had been deceived by Jiang Yonghe, they would absolutely never admit their mistakes.
They would make excuses for themselves: Jiang Yonghe only did what she had to do in order to stay in the Jiang family.
And now that they knew they were wrong and felt remorse, it was only because their interests had suffered a disastrous price due to Jiang Yonghe's deception.
To put it bluntly, their family simply didn't deserve to be forgiven!
If all wrongdoers could be forgiven just by feeling regret, then how could the wounds of those who had been hurt ever be healed?
Just like for those who had suffered unfair treatment, justice delayed is justice denied.
She would absolutely never forgive this so-called family of hers.
...
Upon arriving at Starlight Entertainment, Jiang Youli turned on her office computer. When she logged into Weibo again, she discovered that Jiang Zhao's fans had spontaneously started a hashtag: #PleaseForgiveTheBestZhaozhaoInTheWorld#, and many fans had dug up her personal information.
Jiang Youli, a medicine-selling female doctor from the countryside.
After being brought back to the Jiang family, she improvised and performed an original piano piece live at her own welcome banquet, shining brilliantly and stealing the spotlight.
Later, she officially became engaged to the eldest young master of the Qi family, the most powerful wealthy family in Beijing.
However, the fans had not managed to find her Weibo account.
[I have to say, the piece the sister improvised is truly breathtaking! Just like Zhaozhao, her musical attainments are in a league of their own!]
[Of course, she is Zhaozhao's biological sister, after all! Unlike that previous adopted sister, who only knew how to be a copycat!]
[I really hope the siblings can collaborate on an original album. They would definitely take the entertainment industry by storm!]
[Oh my gosh! Just thinking about it gets me excited! I really hope the sister quickly forgives Zhaozhao, and then they can form the ultimate sibling duo! The sister can handle the composition, and Zhaozhao can sing. I bet they would become the hottest duo in all of Asia!]
[Sister, please forgive Zhaozhao quickly!]
[Sister, please forgive Zhaozhao quickly!]
[Sister, please forgive Zhaozhao quickly!]
Knock, knock, knock.
The office door was knocked on. Jiang Youli, who was browsing Weibo, looked up from her computer. "Come in."
Secretary Little Yang walked in and handed over the company's latest work schedule. "President Jiang, this is the current work arrangement for every employee following the resignation of the twelve staff members."
"Just leave it here."
Secretary Little Yang hesitated for a moment before saying, "The HR department just told me that it seems you didn't ask them to post job openings on the website, President Jiang?"
Jiang Youli gave a sound of affirmation. "There's no need to post job openings for now. Next Monday, someone will come to take over the work of the resigned employees."
"...I see." Secretary Little Yang hesitated for a while before speaking again, "President Jiang, have you seen the trending topics online?"
Jiang Youli let go of the mouse, leaned back in her chair, and looked at Secretary Little Yang. "Are you talking about the clickbait trending topic from last night claiming I was being kept by Second Master Long, which was actually about Long Yuan and his biological uncle Second Master Long, or the one about me and Jiang Zhao?"
Secretary Little Yang said, "...I mean the trending topic about you and Jiang Zhao."
"I saw it. What about it?" Jiang Youli asked.
After a moment of hesitation, Secretary Little Yang said, "I think... right now, the popularity of you and Jiang Zhao is very high. If you could forgive Jiang Zhao and, as his fans suggested, form a sibling duo with him, it might actually have unexpected results. It could help Starlight Entertainment quickly get through this current crisis."
Jiang Youli replied without hesitation, "There's no need."
Secretary Little Yang looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
Speaking of this, Jiang Youli thought of something and instructed, "Previously, there was only the video of my performance at the welcome banquet online. Taking advantage of this popularity, I plan to officially release this piece under my own name. When the time comes, it can also generate some hype for my takeover of Starlight Entertainment and increase the company's exposure. Arrange the song recording and promotional release for me."
Secretary Little Yang was surprised, then nodded. "Understood."
Pausing for a moment, she probed, "President Jiang, do you plan to record it yourself?"
Jiang Youli smiled and said, "Why not? Since I have the ability to compose music, why should I hand the results over to Jiang Zhao?"
Secretary Little Yang understood. She nodded again, "I'll go arrange it immediately!"
After Secretary Little Yang left, Jiang Youli immediately applied for a Weibo account. After getting verified as [Starlight Entertainment CEO], she posted her first Weibo update, which was short and to the point:
[Absolutely no forgiveness.]
Once Jiang Youli's Weibo post was published, it didn't take long for the fans who had been closely following Jiang Zhao to dig it up. It quickly became a trending topic under the hashtag #AbsolutelyNoForgiveness#.
Jiang Zhao's fans impatiently rushed to leave comments under this post on her verified Weibo account:
[This is definitely the sister's Weibo!]
[Sister, please don't be mad at our Zhaozhao anymore, okay? Zhaozhao knows he was wrong~]
[That's right! Don't waste Zhaozhao's great looks and voice! Hurry up and forgive Zhaozhao, then write songs for him! If Zhaozhao becomes even more famous, he'll be more capable of protecting you, sister!]
By noon, the comments on Jiang Youli's post had already stacked up to thousands of threads.
Right before getting off work at noon, Jiang Youli posted another update: [First: My name is Jiang Youli, not 'sister'. Second: Hilarious. Why would I support someone who hurt me and make him famous just so he can 'protect' me? I will only make sure he can never stand up again for the rest of his life! If you are a true music lover, you can look forward to the music album I will be releasing under my own name!]
After saying that, she even updated her Weibo verified title, adding Original Singer right after CEO of Starlight Entertainment.
Her uncompromising replies finally infuriated Jiang Zhao's fans, who began relentlessly spamming her latest updates with vicious comments.
[Why are you so petty? We already told you that Zhaozhao was deceived by that vicious adopted sister of his, which is why he accidentally hurt you. Zhaozhao didn't do it on purpose, so do you really have to hold onto this? Are you really so cold-hearted that you don't care about family ties at all?]
[You deserved to be misunderstood by Zhaozhao! If you had been even half as sensible and sweet as Zhaozhao's adopted sister back then, Zhaozhao never would have targeted you!]
[Zhaozhao has already humbled himself so much. As someone who came from the countryside, what exactly do you have to be so arrogant about? Zhaozhao is giving you a way out. If you have any self-awareness, you should hurry up and forgive Zhaozhao!]
