Chapter 632: 628. I'm sorry, but I don't regret it! (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

United States, New York.

At the Rhode Family, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman are currently sitting on a sofa, talking face to face.

The two are the true power-holders of the Rhode Family at this moment: Jiasen and Qiaosilin.

It was precisely in their hands that the Rhode Family rose again, not only shaking off its previous decline but even advancing a step further.

The siblings began officially taking over the Rhode Family twenty-five years ago, becoming the youngest controllers of the Rhode Family.

These twenty-five years have also proven that the Rhode Family's choice was not wrong; the Rhode Family's business has become increasingly prosperous under their leadership.

They not only expanded their original industries but also extended their reach into new types of industries, showing a very unique vision.

But at this moment, the expressions of both power-holders are extremely complex; it is as if, by looking at each other, they can see that trace of unnaturalness in the other's eyes.

"Do you think he knows?" Jiasen finally spoke.

Qiaosilin had already recovered by this time, saying with a calm expression: "He should have sensed it long ago."

"During that year he disappeared, I sensed that he was testing us and also secretly investigating what happened back then.

Have you forgotten the situation when we last saw him back then? He was already suspicious at that time."

Qiaosilin had no doubts about this.

Jiasen sighed and said: "It is also fortunate that something happened to him back then, otherwise we wouldn't have been so smooth."

Yes, if Zhang Ran hadn't had an accident back then, I believe that with his methods, he should have found out long ago; at that time, they hadn't truly held power yet, and even if they had, before their wings were fully fledged, they were still a bit immature compared to Zhang Ran.

Actually, Jiasen also knew some things, but he still held onto some wishful thinking; the shock Zhang Ran brought them back then was too great, resulting in him still feeling some trepidation in his heart even though he has now become the family's power-holder.

That is why he did not go to see him after Zhang Ran returned, and he didn't even make a single phone call.

"Then what should we do now? It would be good if we could negotiate with Zhang Ran," Jiasen said.

Being able to negotiate is the best choice; Zhang Ran has now successfully risen again, slowly taking back all his original industries, and at the same time, he has gained a firm foothold in Huaxia.

Qiaosilin said with an expressionless face: "You are overthinking it; according to his personality, he will not compromise. Having suffered such a big loss, how could he remain indifferent?"

Jiasen actually knew this too; he looked at his sister, sighing in his heart.

His own sister had admired Zhang Ran the most back then, and she had also truly fallen in love with Zhang Ran.

But Qiaosilin was never a person to be swayed by emotions, nor had she ever treated love as the most important thing.

In her heart, the pursuit of power and wealth was paramount, and everything else had to give way for that.

Back then, it was Qiaosilin who first proposed the choice to use Zhang Ran, and then it was slowly perfected.

From this, one can see what Qiaosilin's character is truly like.

"Prepare yourself; his revenge won't take long, and we also need to be prepared," Qiaosilin said.

Jiasen took a deep breath and said: "Rest assured, this is the United States, not Huaxia; he won't be able to stir up any waves."

Although he felt some trepidation toward Zhang Ran, he still had this much confidence.

Whether it was wealth, connections, or various accumulations, Jiasen was not afraid of Zhang Ran at all; it was just that the impression Zhang Ran left on him in the past was too deep.

Qiaosilin had already stood up, but upon hearing this, she sat back down, looked at her brother, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Is that really what you think?" Qiaosilin asked.

Jiasen frowned slightly; he was most annoyed when Qiaosilin showed this expression. Every time he saw this expression, he felt a somewhat uncontrollable anger, as if Qiaosilin treated him like a fool.

"Isn't it? This is the United States, a place our family has operated for over a hundred years; how much capability can an outsider like him have?" Jiasen said, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.

"Heh, do you think Zhang Ran really told us everything back then? Do you know that he really didn't have other arrangements?

Do you understand them? You know Taylor, right? Back then, just because of some suggestions from Zhang Ran, his entire life changed. This is still what we know; what else is there that we don't know?" Qiaosilin's tone became increasingly mocking.

She really looked down on this brother of hers; although he was also smart, he couldn't get rid of his arrogance, and he had been that way from beginning to end.

If she weren't a daughter, and if her mother weren't from a non-prominent family, their positions should have been swapped.

Jiasen took another deep breath, "Fine, I know; I won't underestimate Zhang Ran, okay?"

Watching him in this state, Qiaosilin stopped talking, stood up, and left.

Qiaosilin returned home and looked at her husband, who resembled a retired old man, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Aidan saw his wife return and originally wanted to greet her, but upon seeing Qiaosilin's eyes, he immediately fell silent.

The two of them had a daughter, and although she was their biological child, she was not born from the same bed.

Looking at Qiaosilin, who didn't even offer a greeting, and especially looking at the disgust in her eyes, Aidan's mood immediately turned sour.

Ever since the two married, they had been like strangers living under the same roof.

However, Qiaosilin basically treated everyone with this attitude now, and Aidan had originally felt he was used to it.

But today was the first time he had felt such a clear sense of disgust.

Aidan took a deep breath and watched Qiaosilin's back, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, though it vanished in an instant, and he continued his grand undertaking of tending to his flowers.

Qiaosilin returned to her room, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and looked at the face inside, revealing a rare trace of sorrow.

"I'm sorry, but I don't regret it!" Qiaosilin whispered.

This was what she said to Zhang Ran, but even more so, it was what she said to herself.

Back then, Zhang Ran helped them a great deal, helping them enter the eyes of the family's core layer and giving them many suggestions.

But in the end, they chose to betray Zhang Ran and use him.

Between family interests and friends, both she and Jiasen had undoubtedly chosen family interests.

Qiaosilin had never regretted it, and she would never regret it in this life!

Having stayed at home for the whole morning, it seemed she had adjusted her emotions, so Qiaosilin headed straight to the company in the afternoon.

After arriving at the company, Qiaosilin immediately convened a meeting of the company's senior management and issued several orders.

From now on, she had to be fully prepared; Zhang Ran's revenge could arrive at any time.

She had never held onto any wishful thinking; she understood Zhang Ran very well, and it was precisely because she liked him that she understood him!
