And Ye Qingcheng killed Ye Lianchen to secure the position of Family Head, which is an irrevocable fact, and no amount of explanation will change that.

"Is the position of Family Head not worth more to you than your brother? Lianchen was your blood relative who grew up with you!" Ye Chenwen said sorrowfully.

With Ye Lianchen dead, he not only lost a son but also a daughter. After this incident, he could no longer treat Ye Qingcheng as his daughter. Moreover, the people of the M Country Ye Family could no longer tolerate Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Qingcheng's hair was painfully yanked by Ye Chenwen. She originally wanted to plead, to beg Ye Chenwen to forgive her this once, but she knew clearly that Ye Chenwen would never forgive what she had done.

Since groveling would be useless, why bother begging!

"I've put in so much effort, why would you think to let Ye Lianchen take over the Ye family just because of what he said? Have you ever considered how this made me feel?" Ye Qingcheng screamed at Ye Chenwen like a madwoman.

"Your existence is to help the Ye family manage those stronger local forces in M Country, so that the Ye family could gain recognition from those truly upper-class families— not for you to become the head and allow others to ridicule the Ye family for having no successors," Ye Chenwen reprimanded angrily.

"Is it because I am a girl that I am to be ridiculed?" Ye Qingcheng was full of unwillingness.

She was born a girl, something she couldn't control. She refused to be suppressed by the rhetoric of male superiority. She had the capability to prove that she could do better than Ye Lianchen, and now she had indeed proven it. Therefore, she would not resign to her fate.

"Whether or not you will be ridiculed doesn't matter anymore. Not only did you cause Ye Lianchen's death, but you also plotted to kill me. You are destined to lead a miserable life," Ye Chenwen said sharply, releasing Ye Qingcheng. In his heart now, he couldn't care less about their father-daughter relationship.

"Dad, please give me another chance. Although I killed Ye Lianchen, I truly had no intention of killing you. It was all Su Changfeng's doing; he forced me to act," Ye Qingcheng begged on her knees.

The meaning of a miserable life, Ye Qingcheng understood very well. The Ye family owned a small island, and its purpose was to detain those who were enemies of the Ye family but had some usefulness and couldn't be killed.

Ye Qingcheng knew that if she were thrown onto that island, it would surely be a nightmare; those who survived there definitely wouldn't spare her.

"Do you think I'd believe such nonsense? How could trash like Su Changfeng force you?" Ye Chenwen said disdainfully.

"It's the truth, I'm not lying. Su Changfeng has evidence of me killing Ye Lianchen, so I had to listen to him. Dad, although I wanted to become the head of the Ye family, I would never have turned against you if it weren't for Su Changfeng forcing me," Ye Qingcheng cried, saying.

Ye Chenwen's face was filled with coldness. Su Changfeng, that useless waste who couldn't even keep a branch of the family, was so audacious as to have Ye Qingcheng kill him.

"My pity for that waste has become his leverage to act wildly. This worthless guy seems not to understand he has no right to deal with me," Ye Chenwen said coldly.

"Dad, I now realize what I did wrong, but I don't want to keep making mistakes, please..."

"Stop talking nonsense. After I deal with Su Changfeng, I'll settle accounts with you," Ye Chenwen interrupted.

"Initially, I felt sorry for you and wanted to give you a way out, but since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless," Ye Chenwen said, then left the Golden City Hotel with Ye Luochen.

Recently, Shen Hanxue's life had been particularly normal, though she couldn't let go of her thoughts about Su Changfeng every night. With Shen Zhenhua and Sun Mei's divorce, the villa lost a lot of its vitality, often making Shen Hanxue feel the house was particularly quiet.

Yet Shen Hanxue had no sympathy for Sun Mei's outcome, seeing Sun Mei wanted to kill Su Changfeng and even secretly used her phone to text Su Changfeng, something that Shen Hanxue could definitely never forgive Sun Mei for.

As Shen Hanxue watched TV, her phone softly rang— it was Shen Donglin's call, which made Shen Hanxue frown.

Lately, Shen Donglin had called her many times and seemed quite obsequious, aiming to cooperate with her, which Shen Hanxue found especially strange.

With those clerks working for Shen Donglin, why would he suddenly have this attitude toward her? Therefore, Shen Hanxue felt this guy had some plot in mind when approaching her.

"Han Xue, have you thought about it? Our two groups merging would definitely be a robust alliance and could carve out a new enterprise in Jiang City," Shen Donglin said.

"Shen Donglin, what exactly do you want to do?" Shen Hanxue asked helplessly, as she didn't believe what Shen Donglin was saying.

"I really want to cooperate with you; I'm definitely not scheming against you. If you don't trust me, I can show my sincerity by giving you 50% of my group's shares," Shen Donglin said.

50% of the shares for her?

Getting such a big advantage, Shen Hanxue couldn't possibly believe it.

"I just want the Shen family to develop better so that the Old Madam can rest in peace, with no other intentions," Shen Donglin continued.

Just then, someone suddenly rang the doorbell, giving Shen Hanxue a reason to end the call. She said, "I have something here, I'll hang up now."

After ending the call, Shen Donglin's expression immediately changed.

If it weren't for Shen Lei suddenly disappearing, leaving him without funding, and making it almost impossible for the group to operate, how could Shen Donglin possibly be so abject to Shen Hanxue?

"So, Shen Hanxue still isn't willing?" Shen Siwen asked.

With malice written all over his face, Shen Donglin said, "That damn woman, even giving her shares, she doesn't want them."

Shen Siwen said, "That benefactor of yours, really has no response? How could that person suddenly disappear?"

With a grim face, Shen Donglin said, "I've received reliable information that the person seems to have been killed. If it wasn't for that, why would I have to beg Shen Hanxue?"

"Killed?" Shen Siwen was shocked. If the benefactor was killed, then Shen Donglin's group going bankrupt was only a matter of time, because Shen Donglin had squandered the money Shen Lei had given him. Now the group didn't have any profitable projects, and hoping to turn things around in such circumstances was pure wishful thinking!
