"Young Master Hao, I've found out something..." On the way to the Lin Family, Hao Jian suddenly received a call from Spice Ginger. "What is it? Speak..." Hao Jian glanced at Lin Qingxue beside him and spoke in a deep voice. "Well, just now my people brought me news saying that Lin Corporation is on the verge of splitting. One side mainly supports us, but its power is relatively weak, like a few people on the sister-in-law's side." "The other side is led by that woman. Whether it's Lin Jiahao or Lin Jiahao's parents, they all stand by that woman. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because Lin Jiahao's parents inherently have a preference for sons over daughters, which allowed that woman to bring her son into the Lin Family." "Preference for sons over daughters?" Hao Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, then he asked, "Do you know the name of this woman? And her so-called son?" "Yes, the woman is called Shen Xin, aged forty-five, and her son is Shen Xia." Upon hearing this, Hao Jian nodded slightly, turned his head, and asked Lin Qingxue softly: "What do you think about this Shen Xin or her son Shen Xia?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue's pretty face turned unpleasant, she gritted her teeth, and said, "They are just two people who ruined my family. Although they are detestable, my father and my grandparents are even more detestable. They are forcing me out of the house to get my shares in the company." "They want not only my mother's inheritance but also my shares in the company..." Hao Jian was taken aback for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared. When he was helping Lin Corporation, Hao Jian had negotiated with Lin Jiahao to give half of the entire corporation's shares to Lin Qingxue. Now, this guy is insatiable. Not only does he want a great sum of inheritance, but he also wants to take away the shares from Lin Qingxue's hands. However, Hao Jian wanted to appear in front of Lin Jiahao immediately to ask who gave him the courage to go this far in front of him, the Overlord of Hua City?! Was it Shen Xin who gave him the courage? At this moment, Lin Qingxue suddenly said, "Can we go a bit later?" Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was stunned: "Aren't you going to give them a hard time? They should all be at home right now."

I want to confront them in my best shape. If I'm leaving, I want to leave with style, not in disgrace." For Lin Qingxue, this home was no longer the one she recognized. When her mother was alive, everyone treated their family with utmost respect and warmth. But now, after her mother's death, leaving behind that inheritance, everyone's attitude towards her became unclear. Except for some uninformed juniors, most of the elders focused their eyes on her and her inheritance. So over the years, she wanted to escape this home, relying on her father's power, and left Sanshui City. Her leaving seemed to be part of her father's plan. When she left, she encountered many wealthy second-generation heirs and numerous handsome guys. Whenever someone saw her, they would swarm around her. But once she boarded the train, those things began to fade away. Actually, on the train at that time, many people still had their eyes on her. But there was no other way, at that time, Hao Jian happened to be sitting next to Lin Qingxue. After dealing with the man who harassed Lin Qingxue, Hao Jian noticed the situation and quietly exuded his aura to suppress those with bad intentions, rendering them immobile. During that time, although Lin Qingxue had some doubts, since that day, Lin Qingxue realized she had already fallen for Hao Jian. She didn't know why she liked him, it just happened suddenly. At that time, she was still wondering if Hao Jian was sent by her father or a relative to seduce her. But later on, she finally learned that Hao Jian wasn't sent by her father. He had an identity of his own. She vividly remembered how her father treated Hao Jian with such respect and eagerness. From that day on, under her father's forcible orders, she began dating Hao Jian. If she hadn't had feelings for Hao Jian at that time, she wouldn't have started this relationship. This time, it was not like returning home as usual, but with full preparation, with an absolute stance, to make a decision. Since a decision was to be made, she couldn't be weak in momentum, and now with her frail appearance, looking somewhat disheveled, going would definitely lead to being ridiculed by these people. Hao Jian's eyes flickered slightly, having guessed what Lin Qingxue was planning to do. He didn't refuse, nodding his head while smiling: "You have to dress yourself up beautifully, make sure you're the most beautiful one. I want them to know the excellence of my woman and my strength..." With that, Hao Jian gave the driver an address, changing the route, and sped towards Lin Qingxue's house outside. In fact, Lin Qingxue herself chose this place—it's not far from the school but quite a distance from the Lin Family. From this choice, it can be seen how much she disliked the Lin Family. After her mother, this family was no longer the Lin Family she recognized. Gripping Lin Qingxue's small hand tightly, Hao Jian smiled as they reached Lin Qingxue's villa after twenty minutes, thanks to the driver's speed. However, this time, upon reaching the villa, Hao Jian noticed the change in Lin Qingxue's expression. Following her gaze, he saw a Hummer parked at her doorway. Originally imposing, the Hummer was now covered in various stickers and spray-paint, looking somewhat garish. Standing in front of the car was a man dressed in a suit. His face was pale, seemingly unhealthy, but his gloomy expression and thin lips exuded aversion. "Know him?" Hao Jian asked. "That's Shen Xia, the son of that woman, my half-brother!" Lin Qingxue responded, feeling a chill spreading through her body, enough to make her nauseous. Hao Jian tilted his head, snorted: "Since he's waiting for us at the door, what reason do we have to ignore him?" "Let's go, let's get out and see what this so-called brother is capable of. But judging by his looks, if he continues , he won't live long, indulging in women is too damaging..." Hao Jian spoke as he led Lin Qingxue out of the car, prompting her to involuntarily smile, though she quickly hid it, replacing it with a blank expression. Waiting for Lin Qingxue to return at her house, Shen Xia smirked coldly upon seeing her arrive with a man, eyes ablaze with a subtle flame. If it weren't for their siblingship and blood relation, with Shen Xia's lust, he would have dealt with Lin Qingxue on the spot, leaving no room for her to live till now. "What are you here for?" Lin Qingxue glanced at Shen Xia, her gaze somber, expressing dissatisfaction and questioning. "Nothing much, I just came to give you some advice, and pass on my mom's decree. As for my cheap old man, I couldn't care less." Shen Xia negligently shrugged and glanced at Hao Jian beside Lin Qingxue, mocking: "I don't understand your judgment. You're Lin Corporation's heiress, how could you choose a man ? A man without any distinguishing features, it's really confusing!" "You don't need to understand." Lin Qingxue looked at Shen Xia, her eyes emotionless, as if watching a bystander. "Humph!" Faced with Lin Qingxue's mockery, Shen Xia didn't mind, coldly snorting instead, and crossed his arms, speaking as though discussing something simple: "I won't waste too many words with you. You know my mom's nature, so I'll keep it brief." "First, hand over your mother's inheritance. We'll provide you with a substantial amount of money, enough for you to live out your life. Second, give up half of your shares in Lin Corporation; we'll compensate you as well. You'll still be the Lin Family's heiress, but we'll no longer concern ourselves with your matters." With these words, Shen Xia smiled confidently: "How about it? Aren't these terms I offer you sufficient? If not, we can increase by ten percent, as a fee for keeping the family's assets secure." Shen Xia's words left Hao Jian momentarily stunned, finding it unbelievable. This guy's outrageous demands seemed ludicrous, as these possessions rightfully belonged to Lin Qingxue. Yet he spoke as if they were theirs? How shameless, his face is too thick! "The inheritance and shares are mine." Lin Qingxue maintained a blank expression, looking at Shen Xia, and said: "These things belong to me; even if I can't use them, I won't let you have them. Do you think you can make me concede by locking them up with petty tricks?" "I'm Lin Qingxue, not someone helpless. I don't rely on these two things, but you all..." "It's a different story, isn't it?"
