On this day, it was time for the annual Shareholder meeting once again.
These Shareholders had proposed for the third time.
"I urge the young lady to transfer power to the Master and take over the Master's position."
I raised my gaze to look at my father sitting beside me. His complexion was grim, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.
I lightly smiled; the Xue Family was finally going to be in my hands.
After the meeting concluded, my father quickly came to see me. However, he wasn't alone; Xue Qingrou followed behind him.
I raised an eyebrow: What? Is this a return to our roots?
Once my father sat down, he placed the seal representing the Master on the table.
"This seal can be handed over to you."
"But I have one condition."
I looked up, "What condition?"
My father glanced at Xue Qingrou, "Let Qingrou enter the Merchant House."
"I want to hand over part of the business to her."
I interrupted him expressionlessly.
"I never said I would arrange for her to enter the Merchant House."
My father's expression darkened as he glared at me in anger.
"Xue Wanning, how far do you intend to go in your pursuit of her downfall?"
"Can't you accept her?"
"Are you planning to use those shady accounts from Aunt Luo to send me in?"
I looked at him coldly, my eyes showing no signs of emotion.
"She's just a bastard child; I don't even acknowledge my father, let alone her."
My father’s face turned ashen, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"You ungrateful wretch!"
I let out a cold laugh, "Am I wrong?"
"For years, you have sent people to steal my private seal and even hired assassins to kill me."
"Is there still any father-daughter bond between us?"
My father's expression stiffened, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"You..."
I stood up, looking down at him, and slapped a silver note worth three thousand taels on the table in front of him.
"I gave you a choice."
"You chose to reject it."
"Now, I offer you two options."
"One: take this silver note and leave with dignity to become a Wealthy Man who revels every night."
"Two: I will have someone throw both of you out, and you won't get a single copper coin."
My father's face turned pale, his finger trembling as he pointed at me.
"You... you dare!"
I sneered, "Do you think I wouldn't?"
He gasped for breath, staring at me as if he wanted to tear me apart.
After a long silence, he grabbed the silver note from the table and silently exited the study.
Xue Qingrou shot me a glare before getting up to follow him.
"Father, wait for me!"
Ji Rufeng watched them walk away, a murderous intent swirling in his eyes.
"Miss, I will go kill them right now."
I gently patted Ji Rufeng on the shoulder and smiled softly.
"Ji Rufeng, sometimes living is harder than dying."
"Death is the end of everything; living allows one to experience pain."
"I want more than just their deaths; I want them to feel the taste of being crushed little by little."
The killing intent around Ji Rufeng gradually dissipated.
He pressed his lips together and said softly, "I will listen to the young lady."
I chuckled lightly and patted his head.
"Such a good boy."
I heard from the servants that there was quite a commotion over at Xue Qingrou's place.
With my father's connections, I helped her raise a significant amount of silver.
Plus, she had made quite a bit from her investments in shops, and she had become a legend among her shareholders.
"Young lady, this is the latest news."
A servant handed over a small booklet.
