I smiled faintly and deleted his WeChat. In this world, no one is indispensable to anyone else, especially not to me and them.
Back in Shanghai, I continued working. I thought I would never see them again. But on New Year's Eve, my parents surprisingly found my company and forcibly dragged me back home for the reunion dinner. There was no way out; I had to follow them home. For safety's sake, I had my assistant wait nearby.
The house they currently lived in was paid for by me, as I had renovated their old place. Initially, I wanted to buy them a new house, but they insisted that I should buy one for my brother first. Later, as work got busy, I completely forgot about it.
Once home, my father immediately spoke up, "Zixuan, when are you planning to buy your brother's house?"
"I'm not buying it," I replied calmly.
"He's my brother, not my son. Why should I buy him a house?"
"If he wants one, he can buy it himself."
"You..." My brother stood up angrily, pointing at me. "Wang Zixuan, you think you're all grown up now?"
"Fine, if that's the case, then transfer your company to me tomorrow."
"Why should I transfer it to you?" I found it amusing.
"If you don't transfer it to me, I won't be able to get married." He said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
I was speechless. "Your inability to get married has nothing to do with me."
"Why not?" He looked at me as if it were obvious. "Isn't it only right that I get married in the house you bought?"
"What does the house you bought have to do with me?" I retorted.
His face turned pale, and he stared at me intently.
Seeing this, my mother quickly spoke up, "Zixuan, don’t argue with your brother."
"He’s a boy; he needs to save face."
"You’re a girl; just hand the company over to him. Once you get married, you can stay home, have a child, and take care of your husband and children."
My sister-in-law chimed in from the side:
"That's right, Zixuan. You’re always hanging out with those male businessmen; it’s not safe."
"It’s better to get married early and have a child."
"Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your brother."
"He is the only male heir in our family."
I raised my eyes to look at her and said, "He’s your husband, not mine. Whether he’s an only child or not has nothing to do with me."
"You..." My sister-in-law's face turned pale with anger.
My father slammed his hand on the table: "Enough! Stop arguing."
"Zixuan, I’ve discussed this with your mother. You need to hand over the company to your brother."
"Then, every month, transfer five hundred thousand into each of our three bank accounts."
"If you can’t do that, don’t blame us for not recognizing you as our daughter."
"Oh, and by the way, your sister-in-law is pregnant now; we’ll need a million every month from now on. Otherwise, we’ll cut ties with you."
"Am I even your biological child?" I retorted.
My father was taken aback: "Of course you are."
"Since I’m your biological child, why do you treat me like this?" I didn’t understand.
After a moment of silence, my father replied, "It’s precisely because you are our biological child that I have indulged you until now."
"If not, I would have killed you long ago."
"Just because I'm your biological child, does that mean I deserve to be drained by you?" I shouted in anger.
They were going too far.
"Enough!" I yelled, "I disagree."
"The company is mine; it has nothing to do with you."
"If you want to acknowledge me as your daughter, then do so."
"If you don't want to, then don't."
"After all, you've always treated me like an outsider."
"From now on, you won't get a single penny from me. Survive on your own!"
With that, I stood up and was about to leave.
But my brother grabbed my neck tightly, trying to kill me.
I struggled desperately, and in my panic, I pressed the emergency button my assistant had given me.
"Let... go... of... me," I gasped as I fought against him.
But my brother was too strong; I couldn't break free at all.
As my consciousness began to fade, I saw my mother supporting my sister-in-law as they left.
My father stood by, watching without any intention of stopping them.
"Wang Zixuan, die! Just die! If you're dead, the company will be mine," my brother said with a greedy expression.
"You forced me into this; it was you who pushed me."
I let out a bitter laugh, closed my eyes, and awaited the arrival of death.
