Chapter 752
Feng Jialing had no idea Ouyang Li woulde to her that soon. Moreover, thetter looked more
agitated than she was during their previous encounter.
“Mom, can you please keep Ouyang Qing in check? She was in the wrong but she had the audacity to
act like a crazy woman. Now, she is trying to get me involved, too. How despicable can she be?”
Ouyang Li hollered angrily, losing herposure.
Deep down, Feng Jialing let out an exasperated sigh. It''s no wonder I favor my younger daughter.
Look, my eldest daughter isn''t graceful at all. She might''ve changed her style recently to look more
fashionable, but nothing can change the fact that she''s an uncultured woman.
“What''s wrong with you? Why can''t you be civil instead of yelling like a maniac? Didn''t Ouyang Qi take
the me for you when you attacked Nan Chen? What else do you want now?” Feng Jialing snapped
with her brows furrowed together.
Feng Jialing was infuriated upon hearing that. “What do you mean he took the me for me? It wasn''t
me who assaulted Nan Chen! Someone else framed me! Perhaps it was Ouyang Qi who conspired
against me. He made me get into trouble, so he could seize the opportunity to take the me for me,
getting a chance to work in thepany again!”
Feng Jialing shook her head in disbelief. “He came to your rescue, and yet you are so ungrateful? You
should be grateful for his help. Otherwise, no one would want toe to your aid next time you are in
trouble!”
“You favor them over me! The useless Ouyang Qing who you brought up is now trying to take me down
in jail. Will you stop her or not?”
“What about Qing? She''s in jail. How can she take you down?”
“She retracted her testimony in jail. iming to be innocent, she said someone else had instructed her
to act that way. The police are now taking the necessary steps to reopen the case andunch a new
investigation.”
“How is that rted to you?” Feng Jialing was confused.
“Of course it is rted to me! She imed I was the one who instructed her to carry out the evil deeds!
How could she use me falsely? When she and Dad were fighting against the Nan family in Flower
City, I was working hard in Pearl City. I had no idea what happened over there, let alone participate in
their n. You know that well, right? Now, she''s trying to involve me in that matter. What a wicked
woman!”
Ouyang Li''s anger grew as she spoke. In a fit of rage, she threw a cup across the room, causing it to
shatter into pieces.
Feng Jialing remained doubtful. “Did Qing really do that?”
“Why would I lie? The police came to me to ask me to cooperate with their investigation! Those
b*stards from the board of directors took the chance to im that I was involved in a criminal case and
asked me to step down as the acting CEO in ordance withpany policy. They are trying to take
my power away from me! Go to Ouyang Qing immediately and tell her to retract her false statement
and cease her usations against me!” Ouyang Li roared.
Feng Jialing still refused to believe her words. “That doesn''t sound right. Why would Qing do that?”
“Why would she do that? She hates seeing me leading a great life, of course! She ended up in jail after
her n failed, and now she''s trying to take me down. Stop talking nonsense and go visit her now. Tell
her to retract her testimony so the police would stop investigating me,” Ouyang Li demanded.
Feng Jialing said nothing.
She had been married to Ouyang Duo as the chairman''s wife for years. As smart as she was, it didn''t
take her long to realize that it was a conspiracy.
Someone was plotting against the Ouyang family to create internal strife within the family.
The fact that Ouyang Qing was involved despite being imprisoned suggested that the mastermind
behind the scheme was powerful.
“If you can''t be the acting CEO, who will take over your ce?” Feng Jialing asked.
Her words merely served to increase Ouyang Li''s fury. “You don''t want me to be the acting CEO, too,
right? Are you thinking of taking over? Can you do it?”
Feng Jialing gazed at her eldest daughter, who felt like a stranger to her. As fury ran through her veins,
she asked in a quivering voice, “What gave you that idea? Have I everpeted against you? You''re
my child. Why would I do that?”
“Have you ever thought of me as your daughter? You''ve always preferred Ouyang Qing over me. Are
you behind this? Did you instruct her to falsely use me?”
“No, I didn''t!” Feng Jialing''s eyes turned red in fury.
“I don''t believe you. Go to Ouyang Qing now and tell her to stop incriminating me. Do it now!”
“But I don''t want to go to that ce—”
Ouyang Li cut her short, screaming, “You don''t have a choice! I''ll give you a ride there!”
Under Ouyang Li''s insistence, Feng Jialing had no choice but to head the prison.
Unfortunately, she was unable to see Ouyang Qing as each prisoner is only allowed a certain number
of visits. Ouyang Qing had already reached her limit for the month, so no one was allowed to see her.
Ouyang Li''s anger reached a boiling point. She hit the steering wheel with her fist and shouted, “This is
a conspiracy! We can''t even visit Ouyang Qing in person. I will not resign from my job! You need to find
a solution. Go to the board of directors and forbid them from making me quit! They''ve known you for
years. They''ll listen to you.”
Feng Jialing sighed. “Your dad was the one who dealt with them, not me! Now that your father''s gone,
my words mean nothing to them! When your father was alive, even though they pretended to obey his
commands, they were constantly ying tricks in the background. That is how things work in the
corporate world as it''s a battlefield. That''s why I used to continually emphasize the importance of being
kind to your family, instead of pushing them away. Other people strive to create business opportunities
for their rtives, yet you wanted to kick us out of the country. Now that you are in trouble, you
suddenly thought of us again.”
Ouyang Li hissed, “I don''t care. Stop talking and just do as I say now. You won''t know if they''ll respect
you unless you try!”
“Fine. I shall try calling them now. I''ll do that right in front of you so you get to hear their response.”
Feng Jialing caved in and retrieved her phone to call the directors.
The first director she called didn''t even bother picking up. She called him three times but to no avail.
The other directors did pick up, but when Feng Jialing asked them out for some coffee, they rejected
her invitation directly.
They were smart enough to know why Feng Jialing called them.
It was clear that they wouldn''t help Feng Jialing as they had refused to meet her.
“You must be in cahoots with them! I''m certain of that! I don''t care what you do, but you must make
sure I stay as the acting CEO. If I am forced to resign, the Ouyang family will lose influence in SunshineCopyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
Corporation. It will be difficult for us to regain power in the future and the Sunshine Corporation will no
longer be under the control of the Ouyang family!”
Ouyang Li might be selfish, but Feng Jialing knew she was right.
She proposed, “I have an idea that could help you turn the situation around. It''s just a suggestion, so
you don''t have to take my advice.”
“What is it?” Ouyang Li demanded impatiently.
“The board of directors hasn''t voted to ask you to resign yet, right? You can take the initiative to request
a leave of absence and appoint Ouyang Qi to take over your role. ording topany policy, the
CEO can appoint a recement with the approval of the board of directors. Ouyang Qi is your older
brother and part of the family, so it doesn''t make sense for the board of directors to deny your request.
That is the only way for you to turn the tables,” Feng Jialing exined.
Feng Jioling sighed. “Your dod wos the one who deolt with them, not me! Now thot your fother''s gone,
my words meon nothing to them! When your fother wos olive, even though they pretended to obey his
commonds, they were constontly ploying tricks in the bockground. Thot is how things work in the
corporote world os it''s o bottlefield. Thot''s why I used to continuolly emphosize the importonce of being
kind to your fomily, insteod of pushing them owoy. Other people strive to creote business opportunities
for their relotives, yet you wonted to kick us out of the country. Now thot you ore in trouble, you
suddenly thought of us ogoin.”
Ouyong Li hissed, “I don''t core. Stop tolking ond just do os I soy now. You won''t know if they''ll respect
you unless you try!”
“Fine. I sholl try colling them now. I''ll do thot right in front of you so you get to heor their response.”
Feng Jioling coved in ond retrieved her phone to coll the directors.
The first director she colled didn''t even bother picking up. She colled him three times but to no ovoil.
The other directors did pick up, but when Feng Jioling osked them out for some coffee, they rejected
her invitotion directly.
They were smort enough to know why Feng Jioling colled them.
It wos cleor thot they wouldn''t help Feng Jioling os they hod refused to meet her.
“You must be in cohoots with them! I''m certoin of thot! I don''t core whot you do, but you must moke
sure I stoy os the octing CEO. If I om forced to resign, the Ouyong fomily will lose influence in Sunshine
Corporotion. It will be difficult for us to regoin power in the future ond the Sunshine Corporotion will no
longer be under the control of the Ouyong fomily!”
Ouyong Li might be selfish, but Feng Jioling knew she wos right.
She proposed, “I hove on ideo thot could help you turn the situotion oround. It''s just o suggestion, so
you don''t hove to toke my odvice.”
“Whot is it?” Ouyong Li demonded impotiently.
“The boord of directors hosn''t voted to osk you to resign yet, right? You con toke the initiotive to request
o leove of obsence ond oppoint Ouyong Qi to toke over your role. ording topony policy, the
CEO con oppoint o replocement with the opprovol of the boord of directors. Ouyong Qi is your older
brother ond port of the fomily, so it doesn''t moke sense for the boord of directors to deny your request.
Thot is the only woy for you to turn the tobles,” Feng Jioling exploined.
