"Miss, why are you being so rash? Given the state of the master, you still come back, this is bound to cause trouble! Besides, both the old master and the old lady want your inheritance!" "Grandfather, grandmother?" Lin Qingxue was surprised upon hearing this, but it was also within her expectations. Her grandparents were extremely old-fashioned, not only favoring sons over daughters but also conducting matters in an authoritative manner. Just like now, if it weren't for their backing, Lin Qingxue's father wouldn't dare to act overly ambitious, after all, he still cared about his reputation. But with these two supporting him, those in the family wanting to protect Lin Qingxue or those planning to remain neutral dare not speak up for her. "You little bitch, you're finally back!" As soon as she stepped inside, a furious voice rushed over with a sharp edge, "As a sister, how could you persuade outsiders to hit your brother like that, almost turning him into a cripple? Have you thought about his future life?!" "And you let outsiders interfere just like that?! This is a family matter! How could it involve outsiders! If you hand over your inheritance to me and the company's shares, then you can leave here peacefully today." The sharp voice naturally belonged to Shen Xin in the living room, who's the most displeased with Lin Qingxue, especially now seeing Lin Qingxue's dazzling appearance, a flash of envy flickered in her eyes. Such a young and beautiful woman is just a little bitch! Even if she's her discount daughter, Shen Xin would absolutely refuse to admit this daughter was prettier than her! If it were her own daughter it'd be one thing, but the problem is this woman is a discount daughter, therefore Shen Xin has no interest. Not only does she have no interest, but there's also an intense feeling of disgust. The disgust combined with anger filled her words with dissatisfaction and fury towards Lin Qingxue. "Don't know where you found that man. You dared to seek out someone ? One look at those rags tells me they're worth mere hundreds. That kind of trashy outfit, yet someone dares to wear it." After finishing her criticism of Lin Qingxue, Shen Xin turned her sights on Hao Jian, eyeing this man with contempt. This man is just too worthless! "Clothes on us might be trash, but that Balenciaga custom dress on you is even more rubbish. No, it should be called garbage only because it's on you. The clothes are fine on their own." Lin Qingxue retorted back, her gaze steady, showing no ripples under the other woman's words. But when she saw her grandparents' icy expressions, there was a flash of complexity in her eyes. In her memories, her relatives weren't . As a child, she remembered her grandparents treating her very well. But with Shen Xia's arrival, being around them daily, it made the old couple increasingly less amiable towards her, especially when she refused to hand over the inheritance, they grew more upset. At that time, Lin Qingxue truly wanted to explain herself to the two elders, but as she approached them, she found it unnecessary, since with Shen Xia around, no matter how much she said, the elders wouldn't listen. After all, she was just a woman, and in this family, women's status wasn't very low but in certain circumstances it was pathetically low. "Listen to your father and mother, hand over the inheritance and shares to us, and we won't hold your mistakes against you. As long as you hand over these two things, everything else can be discussed, even if you wish to be with that man, we won't object." Lin Qingxue's grandfather's old face was cold, yet when his eyes landed on Shen Xia, there was a hint of tenderness. He was the Lin Family's future heir, he must be given a good foundation, otherwise when they're gone, how can this precious grandson fend for himself? Lin Qingxue was also their granddaughter, but to the grandparents, the family legacy was most important, anything linked to that wasn't a problem, just small matters, like Lin Qingxue's inheritance and shares. "Don't think that having this man means you can rule recklessly." Nearby, Shen Xia suddenly jumped out, running to his grandparents, who showered affection on the grandson in front of Lin Qingxue and Hao Jian, tending to his every need. A low voice suddenly sounded, everyone looked up, realizing it was Lin Jiahao. At this moment, he looked sternly at Lin Qingxue, saying, "The terms are as discussed with Xia, hand over the two things and we'll treat you appropriately." Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue chuckled coldly, "Now you want me when facing difficulty?" Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 "When you seized my inheritance, weren't you adamantly saying you wanted me to hand it over personally? When you withheld my shares, weren't you saying they were no longer mine?" "Now you say these words to me, may I consider this as your compromise?" At this point, Lin Qingxue's face suddenly showed a mocking expression, "But to a proud and superficial person like you, perhaps in your eyes, you won't admit this compromise at all." "Even though you know it's a compromise, you won't acknowledge it as such. Your self-deception really makes me want to laugh out loud." Talking to this point, Lin Qingxue suddenly pointed at herself and then at Hao Jian, a disdainful curve on her lips, "Your company blossomed not by your own power, didn't it?" "As far as I know, if it hadn't been for my mother's help all those years ago, perhaps even now, you'd still be clinging to a small company, working arduously over there. It was my mother who gave you a company worth a billion, allowing you to live a prosperous life!" "Later, after meeting Hao Jian, he also assisted you!" Lin Qingxue's gaze turned icy, "Hao Jian's status, I don't need to elaborate, as you certainly know better than me. He has been your support. Without the business he provided, maybe your company would still be worth merely three or four billion, far from its current worth a hundred billion!" "It was the presence of these two benefactors that allowed you to achieve your current status, yet in your success, you have forgotten those who helped you, first trying to reclaim my mother's inheritance then aiming to seize back Hao Jian's share. Such greed is truly detestable." Lin Qingxue's words struck hard in Lin Jiahao's heart, his face growing darker, but eventually, he merely snorted coldly with no intention of responding, thinking these issues would ultimately pass. Now as the CEO of a hundred billion company, he's utterly confident confronting any dominating figure in Hua City, as for Lin Qingxue, she's not considered in his scope. "Darling, why waste so many words with this woman? Everything she says is nonsense; why listen to her? Just hurry and make her hand over the inheritance and shares, that's what we want." Watching Lin Qingxue scold Lin Jiahao, Shen Xin's face turned unsightly, mixed with a chilling resolve—this woman must be driven out! Because having herself alone in the house is sufficient; for her son to inherit all, this woman must leave! Lin Jiahao was oblivious to Shen Xin's intent, instead, it was his parents who echoed her, demanding Lin Qingxue hand over the inheritance and shares, otherwise, she shouldn't even think of leaving. "Bitch, why aren't you speaking?" A group of people scolded Lin Qingxue, yet she continued smiling, seemingly oblivious to their words, which led Shen Xia to sneer coldly and rage afterward. "No, just seeing no necessity to speak." Lin Qingxue squeezed Hao Jian's hand, smirking at Shen Xia, devoid of anger. From her perspective, it's unnecessary to get upset over such people, harming herself while spoiling her mood, which would be too costly. Hearing this, Shen Xia's face grew twisted, bellowing, "I think it's very necessary! Do you know the man beside you is the culprit behind making me ?!" Speaking this, Shen Xia pointed to the bandages on himself, his expression incredibly fierce, yelling, "How can such a lowly man bully me? And I don't get how you even considered him, this type of man…" Suddenly, Shen Xia's lips curled into a cold smile, his face still twisted, "If you need men, I've got plenty of resources for you to choose, each one better than that shitty man beside you!" "Not just wealthy but powerful, too—and all you'd need to offer is your body! How about it? If you agree, I'll introduce them to you." Lin Qingxue was surprised, showing disdain, "They think they can compare with Hao Jian?" Shen Xia knew Lin Qingxue's meaning, but suddenly gave a grin, saying, "Actually, before you arrived, we were discussing your case… Our stance is this..." "As long as you kick out the man beside you, leave him, we won't touch your inheritance or shares, otherwise, you'll leave this family for good, and your inheritance and shares will be ours!"
