Xue Qingrou is a notorious illegitimate daughter and mistress in the underworld. She is eager to clear her name and starts throwing money into shops like crazy. She knows the future well, understanding what will make money and what will lead to losses. Thus, she spends lavishly, hoping to regain the trust of the Shareholders.
I scoffed, flipping through the account book in my hands, "She really doesn't know when to give up."
Ji Rufeng sat beside me, grinding ink. The study was eerily quiet. Suddenly, Ji Rufeng asked, "Master, aren't you concerned about Xue Qingrou's actions?"
"I'm concerned."
"But you don't seem to care at all."
I shrugged, "Why should I care?"
"Because Xue Qingrou is the female lead, so you..."
I shook my head with a smile, "She's already lost."
"She just refuses to admit it."
I sighed, "What a pity; there's no good show left to watch."
Ji Rufeng looked somewhat puzzled.
"Xue Qingrou is acting so recklessly now because she still won't admit defeat."
"She wants to turn the tables, to win against me and everyone else."
"Unfortunately, it's like hitting a stone with an egg."
I continued to browse through the account book, letting out a sigh. Sure enough, Shuji Pharmacy was exposed for using live subjects for drug testing. The public's reaction was intense. Shuji Pharmacy faced serious accusations of conducting experiments on patients, cutting corners, and selling counterfeit drugs—each charge could be fatal.
Now, all the money from the Shareholder has gone down the drain. Xue Qingrou attracted the attention of the court due to her hoarding and was summoned by the Ministry of Revenue for questioning. Although it was ultimately proven that her actions were not as severe as suspected, her reputation was completely ruined. Xue Qingrou became a target for everyone.
When she appeared before me again, she looked haggard and had bloodshot eyes. " Xue Wanning, you set me up!"
I raised an eyebrow at her. "What makes you think it was me?"
"Who else could it be!" She seemed somewhat deranged. "Did you know I would lose all along, so you came to watch my joke?"
I scoffed, "Xue Qingrou, don't you understand by now?"
"You lost long ago."
"You’re talking nonsense!" Xue Qingrou shouted, "I didn’t lose! I didn’t lose!"
I watched her go mad until she calmed down. The look in Xue Qingrou's eyes seemed to indicate she understood something; she squinted at me. "You knew I would lose all along, so you prepared in advance."
" Xue Wanning, you knew I would go to Xia Yifu, and you also knew I would acquire Shuji Pharmacy, right?"
"You deliberately set this up to bait me."
"You pretended to compete with me for Merchant House, then let me lower my guard while you were actually fully prepared."
" Xue Wanning, you knew everything."
I smiled lightly. "Not too stupid after all."
Xue Qingrou seemed drained of strength; her face was pale and her body trembled. "Impossible, how could this be?"
"You’ve been competing with me all along; how could you not know..."
"How could I not know?"
I sneered. "You privately contacted the Shareholder of Money House, bribed my personal maid, and stole secrets from Merchant House. Which of these actions weren’t aimed at competing with me?"
"Xue Qingrou, you've always wanted to win against me."
"But you lost."
Xue Qingrou completely collapsed to the ground, her eyes vacant as if she had lost her soul.
After a long while, she lifted her head and said, "Give me some silver; I want to go to Southeast Asian. I promise I will never come back."
I stood up, adjusted my clothes, and looked down at her. "Xue Qingrou, do you know why I was able to kick Father out?"
"Because he is foolish?"
"No, it's because he cannot be your greatest support."
"And you, once you lose your support, are nothing."
"So why would I hand over the Merchant House to your support?"
"And I am my own support; my matters are decided by me."
