"Not right at all!"

Ms. Liu's eyes widened with anger, and she fumed, "If I really cared about background, why would I have liked you back in college?"

"So many rich and powerful heirs pursued me back then, did I even give them a glance?"

"Turns out my mom was right, you're nothing but an irresponsible jerk!"

"If I had married you, my life would have been absolutely cursed!"

"Ha ha!"

He Xiang, usually calm and composed, was also lit with anger at this point.

He sneered, "I wanted to take responsibility, but did your parents agree?"

"Do you know how excited my parents were when they found out you had a child?"

"My dad couldn't even wait until the next day; he emptied our savings and went to your house to propose."

"But your parents?"

At this, He Xiang's eyes turned red, and he said angrily, "They despised us for being poor, thought our family was beneath them, and wouldn't even meet my dad."

"My father stood outside the door in the pouring rain all night to show his sincerity!"

"But even that couldn't soften the cold, calculating hearts of your parents who love the rich and despise the poor!"

Lu Heng listened and couldn't help but frown.

If things were as He Xiang described, Ms. Liu's parents were indeed a bit overboard.

Yang Qingshu chimed in, "Mr. He has every right to be angry."

"Making someone stand in the rain all night is indeed excessive."

"Even if you don't agree to the marriage, at least let him in for a discussion, right?"

Seeing Lu Heng and Yang Qingshu both siding with the man, Ms. Liu laughed angrily, "You think my parents were excessive because you don't know what he did before that?"

"I was about to give birth and just wanted to see him once."

"But when I dragged my pregnant belly to the school, this scumbag was fooling around with another woman."

"Tell me, with my parents furious, would they not reject his father's proposal?"

Hearing this, both Lu Heng and Yang Qingshu turned their attention to He Xiang.

Yang Qingshu spoke again, "Mr. He, that's your fault!"

"How could you be fooling around with another woman when your girlfriend was about to give birth?"

"No wonder Ms. Liu's parents were angry..."

"If I were in their shoes, and my future son-in-law behaved like that, I'd drive over to beat you up myself!"

"That's really not right!"

Lu Heng spoke up as well.

He Xiang glanced at them and looked dissatisfied.

They're all men, why are they siding with the enemy?

Knowing he was partially in the wrong, he replied dismissively, "Would I have gone to someone else if your parents hadn't looked down on me?"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing him at a loss for words, Ms. Liu flashed a charming yet disdainful smile.

Her gaze, however, was full of scorn and contempt.

"He Xiang, you're just a pure scumbag with no morals or decency!"

"How could I have been so blind to fall for such a loser like you back then?"

"You say my parents love the rich and despise the poor, but aren't you the same?"

"You might not say it, but I know you hate your background too."

"From the start, you were after my family status."

"The moment my parents firmly rejected you, you immediately switched targets."

"Every woman you've been involved with had a good family background, be it your current wife or previous girlfriends."

"Do you think your carefully selected wife's family is so great? Even your father-in-law has to bow and scrape when he sees me..."

He Xiang pouted and scratched his head but did not retort.

Seeing this, Yang Qingshu looked surprised.

He Xiang's father-in-law is no small fry and has wide connections.

During the investigation, this was clearly evident to him.

You could say even his own father is about on par with He Xiang's father-in-law.

Yet, such a resourceful and connected figure bows to Ms. Liu?

"May I ask what business Ms. Liu is currently engaged in?"

Yang Qingshu asked curiously.

He Xiang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Your family is in big business too, you should have heard of Yan Ya the Extinction Master, right?"

Lu Heng remained composed.

He didn't even know who the current richest person in Dragon Country was.

So he cared even less about this Extinction Master.

But beside him, Yang Qingshu widened his eyes in shock.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "The Chairman of Yan Group?"

No wonder he looked so shocked.

That Extinction Master is simply too mysterious!

Ever since Yan Group's rise, all people knew was that its chairman was named Yan Ya.

But what she actually looked like remained unknown.

Even photos of her were near impossible to find.

Even when captured by journalists, it was usually just a rear view.

Matters related to Yan Group, like press conferences, were handled by a male executive from the Yan Family.

The less Yan Ya appeared, the more curious people became.

Despite everyone's efforts over the years, her true appearance remained elusive.

Over time, through word of mouth, Yan Ya became rumored to be a sixty- or seventy-year-old woman, ugly and wrinkled.

Some mischief-makers even combined her unmarried status and ruthless business style to dub her "Extinction Master."

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

After learning the identity of the woman in front of him, Yang Qingshu drew a sharp breath, involuntarily studying her closely.

Yan Ya's appearance was youthful and beautiful.

Just by looks alone, she appeared like a recent college graduate.

No wonder journalists couldn't capture a photo of Yan Ya.

If you're looking for someone who matches the rumored "Extinction Master," how could you possibly photograph the actual Yan Ya?

Had it not been for learning Yan Ya's identity, Yang Qingshu might have just thought she was a beautiful employee at Yan Group.

And wouldn't have linked her to Yan Group's chairman, the Extinction Master, at all.

"Second Brother… Second Brother…"

Noticing that Yang Qingshu couldn't take his eyes off her, Lu Heng nudged him with his elbow.

You're a rich heir, haven't you seen countless beautiful women?

Why are you acting like a foolish pervert from one of those films now?

"Oh… oh…"

Snapping back to reality, Yang Qingshu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Sorry, Ms. Liu… I mean, Ms. Yan."

"I've never seen such a beautiful female chairman before, I couldn't help myself for a moment."

Yang Qingshu hurried to explain.

Beside him, Lu Heng sighed helplessly.

He quietly shifted his chair, momentarily distancing himself from this Second Brother.

"Hmph!"

Yan Ya snorted softly, not saying much more.

At that moment, she returned to her formerly icy demeanor.

Apparently, the only one who could break her composure was her ex-boyfriend, He Xiang.
