Because of Tan Yalans persistence, Yu Shaotian felt rather angry deep down.

However, since he pampered his daughter, he would never show that he was displeased with her decision. But then again, he still couldnt help but blame her for not thinking of the corporations sake.

The Li family wasnt solely trying to marry off their sickly member, but they also had their eyes on the Corporation.

The Li and Yu families were two large companies. Even if the Li family wanted to take over the Yu family, it wouldnt be so simple.

After all, there would be many implications if the two large companies clashed.

However, it was to the Yu familys disadvantage that they didnt have any other allies.

The Li family, on the other hand, wielded control in Chang-Dong Province. If they were to attempt to extend their reach to North City, the Yu family might not be able to fight back.

An alliance through marriage was necessary.

Did you think I wanted to drag this any longer? Its all because of Gu Qingjiu!

Speaking of Gu Qingjiu, Tan Yalan was full of rage. It was clear that she completely didnt love her second daughter at all.

If only that stupid lass werent so stubborn! We wouldve long settled the matter with the Li family! Our plan at Dayi City is also almost complete. Well go harsh this time around and put her adoptive father in jail. I dont believe think that stupid lass will still defy us!

As she spoke about Gu Qingjiu, Tan Yalan clenched her jaw.

Even Mama Wu who was serving Tan Yalan felt surprised to see her so furious.

After all, the second daughter was still the Madams second biological daughter. Moreover, they look almost identical.

How could she hate her so much?

The corners of Yu Shaotians sharp eyes creased as he narrowed his eyes. He had a fierce look in her as he said, This is your idea. If anything bad were to happen, youll have to deal with it yourself. Youre only giving me such terrible ideas. We didnt even do a proper check on the people backing her up. How could you think about targeting her?

Seeing how angrily Yu Shaotian looked at her, Tan Yalan was infuriated. Whats there to check? Nothing has happened in the past few days. I bet she wont dare to do anything anymore. If she were planning something, why hasnt she done anything after so long? Moreover, if we stay quiet about what will happen to her biological father, who will know that were the culprits? She has no reason to accuse us!

Yu Shaotian felt rather helpless.

His wife had been living a blessed life and was treated with the utmost respect for a long time. She had even forgotten about the dangers that could happen to people of the upper class.

How could those with true authority be unable to find out who did it?

Moreover, with the powers they wielded, they didnt even need to care if they had grounds to accuse them.

If they wanted the Yu family to perish, they could easily do so.

The Yu family wouldnt have a say or chance to fight back if such a superpower were to target them.

This was how things had been since the olden times.

It was applicable to everything in life.

The hierarchy was clear in society. The people at the bottom of the hierarchy had no right to speak for themselves.

If the Yu family were to pressure Gu Qingjiu using their status, they had to be prepared that she could use the same method to retaliate.

They didnt know if this would happen now or in the near future.

However, under the Li family pressure, the Yu family had no choice but also to take action.

Only

If Gu Qingjiu refused the marriage alliance, the Yu family might not be able to survive.

Ultimately, Yu Shaotian had pinned all his hopes on Gu Qingjiu since he couldnt bear to let his eldest daughter get married.

Even at this critical time, Yu Shiwei was having the time of her life outside.

The Yu family, the household with the highest status in North City, was now stuck in a situation with seemingly no solution.

Although some rumors had spread, most of them were purely hearsay and most people wouldnt be able to find out the truth.

Now, the Yu family was feeling rather anxious and irritable.

Yet, they had no idea that Gu Qingjiu was going to be posted to another place, where she would begin an unknown journey.
