Chapter 22 The Hypocrite, The Petty Man

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 The Hypocrite, The Petty ManHis hypocritical expression was utterly disgusting, deliberately putting forth this tough issue for her to solve. If she wanted to take over the company, she’d have to fill in the gap of tens of millions! But whether his words would come true after that – well, that’s another matter entirely! Qin Miaomiao’s lips curled into a hint of a mocking smile before she spoke: "Alright." What? Alright? She actually said alright! This insolent girl must have lost her mind! Tens of millions isn’t something you can just pull out of thin air. Lin Fen let out a contemptuous laugh, completely disregarding the situation: "What a load of nonsense. You? Really? You think you can come up with tens of millions? You must be dreaming!" Even Qin Sishui wiped her teary eyes, looking particularly concerned: "Cousin, don’t talk big now. We’re talking about tens of millions here. What if you can’t manage it?" She seemed to care, but in fact, she was setting a trap, forcing her to make promises. Turns out, Qin Sishui wasn’t just some naïve, weakling after all. "I voluntarily give up my inheritance rights." "Really?"

Qin Miaomiao’s parents had passed away early, and while the company ended up in his hands, her father had entrusted a lawyer beforehand to draft a will stating that the company could only be inherited by Qin Miaomiao. Later, he tried various deceitful tactics to swindle the inheritance rights from her, but Qin Miaomiao wasn’t stupid and never fell for it. At its core, the company still belonged to Qin Miaomiao. Even though the company had long been emptied out and reduced to a hollow shell, its market valuation—even if sold off—was worth billions! Billions—for that kind of money, as long as he got his hands on the inheritance rights, he could sell it off instantly! What’s the point of struggling anymore when he could be living large? "Yes. However, the Lu Family has expressed dissatisfaction with me and started to check the accounts. Uncle, you know, all my dowry is with you. If the Lu Family finds out about this, it really won’t look good." Actually, it wasn’t just the dowry—her parents’ money and some of the jewelry they left her were all split up by Lin Fen and her daughter. Qin Sishui was never satisfied—whenever she saw Qin Miaomiao wearing any new jewelry pieces, she’d always find a way to get her hands on them. Qin Lin’s face stiffened. He naturally didn’t want to give back the things he had already consumed. He forced a laugh and said, "Miaomiao, the Lu Family has money anyway. Even if something goes missing, they wouldn’t hold it against you. After all, you’re the Young Madam Lu—who would dare to bully you?" Qin Miaomiao, seeing this, feigned an immensely troubled expression and said in a pitiful tone: "Lu Qing’s mother has never liked me and is always finding faults in every way. My relationship with Lu Qing only recently started to improve. To coax him into paying, I need to be good. If mother-in-law ends up bringing this issue to Lu Qing, he might think I’m petty, always sending things back to my family. Uncle, you care so much about me—do you really want me to be kicked out by the Lu Family?" Qin Lin wasn’t a fool. If what she said was true, and she had indeed won Lu Qing’s favor, then she could certainly seize substantial benefits. He instantly changed his expression, plastering on a smiling face, and said: "You’re my most cherished niece. How could I bear to see you suffer? Here’s the plan—bring Lu Qing home someday soon." He had to confirm whether she truly held value and whether she was willing to invest. A few million in jewelry was nothing—if Qin Miaomiao had truly captured Lu Qing’s heart, tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, might be attainable! Qin Miaomiao naturally saw through his intentions. What an old fox—he won’t act unless he’s sure of the bait. "Alright, it’s settled then."
