Watching Mrs. Qiao's shocked face struggle to recover, Lin Manru also tasted for the first time the sweetness of standing firm, and she couldn't help but send a proud look towards her daughter.
Jiang Li nodded with a smile, seemingly approving of Lin Manru's words and actions.
It seemed that her mother was still very responsive to cues.
With that being the case, things would be even easier to handle.
Thinking of this, she pulled out a document from her handbag and had the bodyguards hand it directly to Mrs. Qiao.
The reason she had returned to the Jiang Family but didn't confront everyone right away was precisely this.
"Since my mother has already spoken to this extent, let's just return the engagement gifts and part on good terms," she said.
"Consider the 500,000 yuan in cash as the Jiang Family's contribution to poverty alleviation and charity, but please return the 10% of Jiang Group's shares you hold, Mrs. Qiao. After all, our families have separated, and if someone with ulterior motives gets a hold of these shares in the future, it could become a huge loss for us."
No sooner had Jiang Li finished speaking than Lin Manru felt a tingling sensation down her back.
How could she have forgotten that the Qiao Family still held an additional 10% of the Jiang Group's shares?!
It was decided from the start by Old Master Jiang as part of the marriage agreement with the Qiao Family.
The 10% stake was just enough for the Qiao Family to receive dividends, yet not enough to give them a say in the group's affairs.
But if she agreed to add an extra 5% to that, giving the Qiao Family a total of 15% of Jiang Group's shares, they would definitely be able to make their voices heard at shareholder meetings.
Just like Lili said, if they wanted to continue to use this as leverage in the future, it would be just a matter of speaking out.
Her compromise had almost brought big trouble to the Jiang Family!
With this in mind, Lin Manru stepped forward forcefully and pushed the pen into Mrs. Qiao's hand.
"I was trying to let your family leave with dignity. It's your own fault for not recognizing what's good for you. If you refuse to sign this share transfer agreement, don't even think about leaving the Jiang Family's doors in peace today!"
Mrs. Qiao, who had never seen Lin Manru angry, was so frightened that she hurriedly signed the document.
Having obtained the contract, Lin Manru had the bodyguards throw the entire Qiao Family out. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Only then did Jiang Li rise from the sofa and slowly walk toward the big screen.
The crowd instinctively fell silent and held their breath.
During the standoff with the Qiao Family just now, they had seen what Eldest Miss Jiang was capable of.
In just two hours, she found her brother, who had been missing for half a month, awakened her mother, who had always been weak and retreating, and turned away the Qiao Family, who had ulterior motives.
How could she possibly be the same woman from the rumours, the one who only knew how to chase after men and was a profligate, uneducated heiress?
Yet, unexpectedly, the now-transformed, graceful Eldest Miss Jiang did not speak out to blame them for being onlookers today but instead bowed slightly to them.
"I am very sorry for taking up everyone's entire day. Such an incident is not a matter of dignity for anyone involved. I hope you can all forgive us," she said.
"Uncle Jiang, please take some people to the wine cellar and bring out some wine to give to everyone as the Jiang Family's apology."
Jiang Ye immediately understood and selected several people to go, and as the guests came to their senses, they began to praise Jiang Li for how she handled things.
"This Eldest Miss Jiang is someone who can handle big affairs, flexible and tough. Who was it again saying that the Jiang Family's tradition was lacking, producing only misfits and clowns?"
"I've heard that Old Master Jiang loves his drinks, and the cellar is full of his favorite treasures. For Eldest Miss Jiang to be giving these away so generously, that's really something."
"In my opinion, it's purely due to the Qiao Family's lack of appreciation today. The Jiang Family has already done more than enough."
The guests took their bottles of fine wine, thanked them with smiles, and left the Jiang Family home.
However, Jiang Yan chuckled at the misfortune with glee.
