The Mad Guardian

After a brief peace, the Qiu Family once again showed their true colors!

One after another, countless criticisms were hurled at Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan once again!

"Bang!"

This time it was Qiu Deming who slammed the table.

He stood up and angrily shouted, pointing in the direction where Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu had left.

"Look at this, everyone, look at this. These are the so-called good descendants of our Qiu Family!"

"This is the good son-in-law we have! He actually dares to openly accuse his elders, truly outrageous and rebellious!"

"Exactly! No matter what, they are the younger generation. Do they really speak to elders like this?"

The voices of condemnation rose once again.

Qiushi trembled inside, and eager to clear his own name, he quickly tried to defend himself.

"Dear elders, please don't believe a word Jiang Chuan says."

"Clearly, he is trying to help Qiu Qianyu shirk her responsibilities!"

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I was trying to be helpful by securing a business deal for the Qiu Family. It was Qiu Qianyu who failed to cherish the opportunity and fell out with President Li..."

"My good grandson, you don't need to say anymore!"

Chang Lan patted Qiushi's shoulder, speaking with deep conviction: "If Grandma doesn't trust you, who else can she trust? Qiu Qianyu?"

"That girl is not fit to be a descendant of our Qiu Family! And we will certainly not acknowledge that Jiang Chuan!"

"I hereby announce that a board meeting is convened immediately to dismiss Qiu Qianyu from her position as chairman of the Qiuyun Company."

"From this moment on, Qiushi will assume the role of chairman of Qiuyun Company, having no further ties with Qiu Qianyu!"

With Chang Lan's statement, the entire Qiu Family was elated!

Qiushi was especially stunned, having not thought that the chairman position he so meticulously sought after would be obtained with such ease.

Hooray for Grandma!

Qiushi's heart was filled with joy, and his previous anxieties vanished into thin air!

The Qiu Family members were all thrilled, because with Qiushi in charge, they could reap greater benefits from Qiuyun Company.

The happiest onlooker was undeniably Qiu Hongyu!

At this moment, she thought to herself, hmph, without Qiuyun Company, what does Qiu Qianyu have to compete with me?!

...

By the sea.

The vast blue ocean stretched endlessly!

The sea breeze gently caressed, and waves rolled continuously.

The scenery was beautiful, but Qiu Qianyu's heart was filled with endless gloom.

A hand gently rested on her shoulder, and a magnetic, soft voice whispered tenderly in her ear.

"Don't be sad. No matter when or where, I will always stand by your side, facing these storms with you."

Qiu Qianyu turned to see the caring gaze of Jiang Chuan, and waves of warmth swept over her heart.

She offered a bitter smile, allowing Jiang Chuan to hold her hand.

Qiu Qianyu gazed back at the distant azure sea, murmuring, "You have no idea how I felt when I heard their accusations against me."

"I am a Qiu Family member. I was born into the Qiu Family and grew up there. In my heart, the Qiu Family is my root, my everything."

"Yet, they treat me like this..."

Qiu Qianyu's voice choked with emotion as tears silently fell.

A tissue was considerately handed over, and Jiang Chuan gently embraced this outwardly strong but inwardly lonely and vulnerable woman in his arms.

"Rest assured, the Qiu Family may have driven you out today, but one day they will definitely ask you to return."

"And they will plead for your return," Jiang Chuan said.

"Will that day really come?"

"Absolutely!" Jiang Chuan nodded firmly, his words resonating with certainty.

Qiu Qianyu gave a bitter smile, yet deep down, she didn't believe it at all.

"Walk with me, won't you? It's been a long time since I came to the seaside."

With that, Qiu Qianyu took Jiang Chuan's hand voluntarily, and the two walked slowly along the shore.

The sun was setting, and the sky was already dotted with stars.
