Upon hearing this name, Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi both jumped in fright.

The two of them were filled with shock and confusion, eyes fixed on the gentleman's face as if in a trance.

There was no helping it, Yi Jun'an's name was simply too famous.

On this year's newly released Forbes rich list,

Yi Jun'an, CEO of Xin Lun Group, ranked fourth.

No wonder Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi found the gentleman's face oh so familiar.

This face had frequently appeared in various newspapers, magazines, and television commercials.

And there were countless financial interviews about Yi Jun'an.

The Xin Lun Group led by Yi Jun'an was the largest automobile manufacturer within Huaxia.

It owned numerous domestic car brands, including joint ventures with foreign companies for imported brands.

And in the Northeast region,

Xin Lun Group also owned hundreds of heavy metal smelting plants and mines, new energy chemical plants, as well as cutting-edge biological research experiment business centers.

Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi had never dreamed

that Su Yinxue would actually provoke such a big shot like Yi Jun'an.

Upon hearing Su Yinxue's words, Yi Jun'an's expression darkened even more.

He found a chair, sat down, and spoke with a chilly tone.

"Yi Yin Xue, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you are still my daughter."

"Your life was given by me, the blood coursing through your veins belongs to the Yi Family."

"As a daughter of the Yi Family, you must shoulder the family's burdens and duties."

Su Yinxue gave a faint smile.

"Sorry, my last name is Su. Su Yinxue has no relation to the Yi Family whatsoever."

"Audacious!"

Yi Jun'an flew into a rage instantly.

He was sitting on the chair, pointing a finger at Su Yinxue.

"Don't forget, you are my daughter."

"All these years, the Yi Family has raised you, nurtured you—was it all given to a dog?"

Su Yinxue smiled indifferently.

She took out a financial statement from the briefcase behind her and tossed it at Yi Jun'an.

"The Yi Family's grace in raising and nurturing me has been repaid.:"

"Last year, while I was in charge of Antong Chemical, we made a profit of 15.8 billion for the entire year, a 68 percent increase in output compared to the previous year."

"You wouldn't think the Yi Family spent over ten billion to raise me, would you? I'm not that valuable."

This stack of financial statements, tossed in front of Yi Jun'an like a tile, was filled with disdain and mockery.

Yi Jun'an didn't even glance at the statements, his voice icily cold.

"You are my daughter, that fact will never change."

"Now come back with me, marry into the Xu Family obediently, and we can forget about everything that happened in the past."

"Otherwise, hmph..."

Su Yinxue laughed lightly.

At this moment, she had completely calmed down.

"Yi Jun'an, surely you aren't still fantasizing about using me as a bargaining chip to do business with the Xu Family?"

"Dream on."

Her gaze was sharp like a blade's edge, exuding an inviolable solemnity.

"The Xu Family has ulterior motives; their so-called new energy cooperation development is just a ploy to seize the Yi Family's chemical group."

"The glory days of the Yi Family are past; don't delude yourself into sacrificing me for a rebirth of the family."

Yi Jun'an's face turned beet red, obviously struck by Su Yinxue's pointed words.

Pointing at Su Yinxue, he tried to say something but suddenly began to cough violently.

Su Yinxue's mouth curved into a smile as she elegantly walked over to the French window.

She said lightly, "I've deliberately avoided the Northeast Region and developed in Shan Province just to avoid any entanglement with the Yi Family."

"Yi Jun'an, please leave. I wish not to see you ever again."

Yi Jun'an finally managed to suppress his cough.

His face became kind again.

"Yinxue, no matter what, you are still my daughter."

"To speak like this, isn't it a bit too heartless?"

Su Yinxue gave a cold laugh, her voice turning sharp.

"I am your daughter? I really don't know where to begin with that. Where were you, the husband and father, when my mother was dying in childbirth?"

"As she was gasping her last breath on the hospital bed, waiting for you to give her one final look, where were you, the husband and father?"

"When I was bullied and beaten at the Yi Family, poisoned and nearly dead in my tiny room, where were you, the father?"

"In the past twenty-some years, have you cared about me? Have you ever thought of me as your daughter? Have you ever taken the initiative to even glance at me?"

She smiled coldly, yet tears fell down.

"And now, when the Yi Family needs to form an alliance with the Xu Family through marriage to solidify relationships, suddenly, I magically become your daughter."

"Yi Jun'an, when you say these things, do you feel no shame at all?"

The hall became deathly silent.

Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang had not expected that Su Yinxue was actually the daughter of the wealthy Yi Jun'an.

The tragic familial relations of such a great clan left the two women shaken and speechless.

Xiao Xuanya did not speak either.

Her foxy eyes looked at Yi Jun'an, her expression very calm.

Faced with Su Yinxue's accusations, Yi Jun'an smiled faintly and stood up.

He leisurely sighed, somewhat reflective.

"You've held these words in your heart for a long time, haven't you?"

"It's good to speak them out, to vent a little. I don't blame you."

"When you are no longer angry, let's go home and talk slowly, shall we?"

Su Yinxue's face was icy, her eyes filled with frosty intent.

"I don't like to speak nonsense, and some things don't need to be said twice."

"Now, please leave!"

Yi Jun'an couldn't help but laugh.

"Such childish words. Do you think you have the power to confront me now?"

"That so-called Yalan Group you founded, I could just lift a finger and it would cease to exist."

"And these friends of yours, heh, you don't want to drag them into this, do you?"

He said this and politely smiled at Xiao Xuanya, Lin Xueyi, and Zhang Lifang.

It was his way of greeting the three women.

His supposedly kind smile, however, sent a chill through the hearts of the three women.

All three shuddered.

At that, Su Yinxue's face finally changed.

She cried out in a high-pitched voice, "Yi Jun'an, what do you intend to do?"

The expression on Yi Jun'an's face remained a benevolent and kindly smile.

He spoke lightly, "You are a good kid, you've always cared the most for the friends and family around you."

"But these people, they can become your weakness, to be exploited by others."

"In the fierce competition of the business world, such glaring weaknesses shouldn't be exposed to the opponent."

"Am I right?"

Su Yinxue's expression grew more and more tense.

She moved forward a few steps and shielded Lin Xueyi, Zhang Lifang, and Xiao Xuanya behind her.

"They have nothing to do with this. Don't hurt them."

Yi Jun'an shook his head with a smile.

"Rest assured, I won't do anything to these ladies, as long as you obediently come with me."

Su Yinxue cut him off coldly, "What if I say no?"

Yi Jun'an smirked maliciously at Su Yinxue.

"As I said, if you come with me, your friends won't have any problems."

"Otherwise, there are many accidents in this world, you know."

"You should be aware that many coincidences and accidents don't violate criminal laws, they only involve civil compensation."
