I smiled lightly, "Not too stupid after all."
Xue Qingrou seemed drained of energy, her face pale and her body trembling. "Impossible, how could this be?"
"You've been competing with me all along, how could you..."
"How could I not know?"
I sneered, "You secretly contacted Money House's Shareholder, bribed my personal maid, and stole Merchant House's secrets. Which of these actions was not aimed at competing with me?"
"Xue Qingrou, you've always wanted to win against me."
"But you lost."
Xue Qingrou collapsed completely to the ground, her eyes vacant as if she had lost her soul.
After a long while, she raised her head. "Give me some silver, I want to go to Southeast Asian. I promise I will never come back."
I stood up, adjusted my clothes, and looked down at her. "Xue Qingrou, do you know why I was able to kick your father out?"
"Because he is foolish?"
"No, it's because he cannot be your biggest support."
"And you, once you lose your support, are nothing."
"So why would I hand over Merchant House to your support?"
"And I am my own support; my matters are decided by me."
...
Xue Qingrou's face turned pale in an instant; she couldn't believe that her carefully crafted plan had already been discovered by me.
"Xue Qingrou, you think you're clever, but in reality, you're just an ant that can be easily crushed."
"You... you... I still have my Shareholders; I will rise again."
"Exactly," I mocked as I looked at her. "Do you think those Shareholders follow you because of your charm? It's because back then, you could bring them greater benefits."
"And what about now? You can't anymore."
Xue Qingrou was stunned by my words; she couldn't believe she would lose to someone she once regarded as worthless.
"Impossible! This cannot be!"
Xue Qingrou rushed towards me, shouting loudly, "I am the main character, I will not lose! I will not lose!"
I easily kicked her in the abdomen, and she curled up on the ground in pain.
"Xue Qingrou, in this world, the winner takes all; there are no born protagonists."
"You... you..."
Xue Qingrou was too pained to speak.
I had Ji Rufeng throw her out the door, letting her cry out in agony without anyone caring.
Her fiancé had been arrested for scandal and faced life imprisonment.
And her father had long since abandoned her.
Xue Qingrou, your life is already over.
After handling everything, I let out a sigh of relief.
It was finally over.
Coming here alone, I had to scheme and strategize to change my fate.
Unknowingly, I had developed feelings for Ji Rufeng.
At first, he was merely a tool for my use as the male protagonist.
But human hearts are not made of stone; after so many years together, our relationship had changed.
I knew I could no longer live without him.
But one thing I did not lie to him about: if he dared to betray me, I would truly kill him.
Ji Rufeng walked towards me and held me in his arms.
He gently kissed my forehead.
"Is the story in the book over?"
I looked up and kissed his lips.
"Yes, the story in the book is over."
"What about ours?"
"What do you think?"
The female protagonist is not born that way; rather, it is survival of the fittest.
This is an eternal principle, no matter when or where.
