Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the chaos unfolded, Rong Qi watched with detached amus.e.m.e.nt, eerily reminiscent of the dramas she had seen play out before with Rong Tians.h.i.+, w.a.n.g Qing, and Rong Feiyu. It seemed all families with dark secrets shared the same playbook.

Outside, her bodyguards were nearly done wreaking havoc. They now stormed inside, ready to continue their demolition.

No, not that vase! Its worth a fortune! Lu Qis stepmother wailed in despair.

My piano, please, spare it! Lu Qis stepsister begged, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Qis father, indignant, pointed a shaky finger at her. How ungrateful can you be, Lu Qi? Remember who paved your path to success. Without me, youd be n.o.body. Did you really think you couldve caught Ye Shaoxians attention on your own?

Unmoved, Lu Qi commanded with a chilling laugh, Keep going. Destroy everything. I want no trace of these memories left.

As Lu Qis father lunged at her in rage, Xu Yi casually stepped in, sending him staggering back, barely staying upright.

Even Xu Yi seemed surprised at his own strength. Lu Qis stepmother and stepsister, now facing the menacing presence of Xu Yi and Zhuang Ling, fell to their knees, quaking with fear.

Lu Qi motioned for a transparent bag to be brought over, tossing it at her fathers feet. Heres a parting gift. Take a look.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Qis father opened the bag, his eyes widening in shock as he scanned the doc.u.ments. What have you done to us?

Leisurely sipping her tea, Lu Qi replied, Oh, not much. Just had a wealthy patron buy out the family business and this villa. As of today, this is my property, so Id appreciate it if youd leave.

Lu Qis stepmother and stepsister frantically checked the doc.u.ments, their faces draining of color as they realized the truth.

Lu Qi, please think of your father. Hes sick. How can we be homeless? Lu Qis stepmother implored, panic-stricken. Remember who introduced you to Ye Shaoxian. Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding. Please, ask him to reconsider.

Lu Qis stepsister chimed in desperately, Yes, ask Ye Shaoxian to give the company back to Dad. You wouldnt even know how to run it.

Lu Qi, raising an eyebrow, asked pointedly, And if I did, youd treat me better?

Of course! Your fathers always wanted whats best for you. Please, stop this madness, Lu Qis stepmother pleaded.

Oh, really? Then why did you lock me in a dark room, let servants beat me, and starve me? Why not send your precious younger daughter instead? Dad, care to explain? Maybe then Ill reconsider. Lu Qi said sarcastically.

Her father, cornered, stammered, I-I may have been harsh, but it was for your own good. Now youve caught Ye Shaoxians eye, and hes bought the company for you. Doesnt that prove I was right?

With a bitter laugh, Lu Qi revealed, Hate to break it to you, but Ye Shaoxian isnt my benefactor. Hes not the one behind this.

She then displayed photos of a battered Ye Shaoxian, unraveling the story of her so-called rescue..
