A look of guilt appeared on Ji Rufeng's face.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I..."
I interrupted him.
"Ji Rufeng, you don't think that a simple apology can erase the disdain and hatred you once had for me, do you?"
"I..."
Ji Rufeng opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately fell silent.
I looked at him.
"Ji Rufeng, what I want is your unwavering loyalty."
Without hesitation, Ji Rufeng knelt on one knee in front of me, his right fist placed against his chest.
"I, Ji Rufeng, vow here that I will never betray the Miss in this life."
A smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.
Ji Rufeng is a man of his word.
Once he makes a vow, he will never betray me.
I had intimidated him with force while also giving him enough respect.
With both approaches combined, Ji Rufeng was completely subdued by the strong medicine I administered.
I just didn't know how the female lead would respond to this sudden change.
After all, in the original plot, the female lead had used Ji Rufeng as a weapon to bring about my downfall.
Over the past five years, I had gradually taken over most of the Xue Family's major merchant houses and moved to a residence closer to the Xue Family's Money House.
That day, I received a message from my father asking me to return home for an important announcement.
On the carriage ride back, I said to Ji Rufeng,
"Ji Rufeng, something interesting is going to happen today."
"You remember not to act rashly, understand?"
Lifeng looked at me expressionlessly.
"Miss, I will definitely protect you well."
I smiled lightly.
Today is the moment when our female lead makes her appearance.
I want to see if the plot will really be turned around.
Ji Rufeng, if you truly want to stand by the female lead, I will definitely kill you.
Returning to the Xue Residence, I immediately spotted the girl sitting next to my father.
She looked only about twelve or thirteen, dressed in a pink dress, with timid eyes and brows.
She sat there as obediently as a little cat.
My father gently held her hand.
" Wanning, look who has come back. Your sister, Xue Qingrou."
"She was managing business over in Southeast Asian with your Aunt Luo, and now that the business has been sold, she has returned with your Aunt Luo."
"From now on, she will also be the second young lady of our Xue Residence."
"As her elder sister, you must take good care of her."
I walked up to Xue Qingrou and examined her closely.
My father smiled kindly and said to Xue Qingrou,
"Qingrou, quickly call your sister."
Xue Qingrou looked at me timidly.
"Sister."
Before her words could finish, I slapped her directly.
Everyone present was stunned.
It took my father a while to react as he hurriedly shielded Xue Qingrou.
" Wanning, what are you doing!"
Xue Qingrou covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.
How pitiful she is.
I stared directly at my father.
"Father, do you really think you can bring your illegitimate child into my Xue Residence?"
My father's face turned ashen.
Xue Qingrou trembled all over, as if she were enduring immense fear.
"Wanning, how can you speak like that!"
"Qingrou is your sister, not some illegitimate child!"
I let out a cold laugh.
"Father, don't forget that my birth mother has passed away, and you have no wife."
"Aunt Luo that Bitch must have been involved with you for a long time, right?"
"You really are quite affectionate; you've even brought home her illegitimate child as if it's a treasure."
"What, do you want this outside illegitimate child to recognize her roots in our Xue Residence?"
