As for why I want to divide it into fifty-one shares, the extra one is a safeguard for the Chi family. After all, the authorities are watching closely, and Father, you know better than I do.
When Chi Mu Jiu spoke her final words, she deliberately emphasized her tone slightly.
Chi Feng understood what his daughter meant; it was undoubtedly referring to Ji Yu Yan and Chi Qi Yun. He sighed deeply.
"Mu Jiu, I hope you can understand your father's position. Your Aunt Yu Yan was indeed wrong this time, but—"
Chi Mu Jiu did not want to hear her father discuss family matters, especially regarding those two women. She interrupted him directly.
"Father, let's not talk about this anymore. How you choose to act is up to you. As a daughter of the Chi family, it is crucial for me to hold everything firmly in my own hands."
Her attitude was resolute. In this family filled with conflicts over interests, only by firmly grasping her own fate could she protect everything her mother had left behind.
They fell into a moment of silence.
"Alright, I will have someone prepare the share transfer documents. As for the contract with the Ye family, you'll need to pay extra attention to that," Chi Feng said, looking at Chi Mu Jiu with a hint of expectation and entrustment in his tone.
The meaning behind his words was clear: he wanted Chi Mu Jiu to clarify things with the Ye family, ensuring that the final signed contract would belong entirely to the Chi family.
Chi Mu Jiu nodded slightly and responded calmly, "I will. Please hurry, as the signing of the share transfer documents will coincide with the cooperation contract signing ceremony between the Chi and Ye families."
Chi Feng acknowledged her softly.
Then, he looked at Chi Mu Jiu with a hint of emotion in his eyes. "Mu Jiu, you have truly grown up."
Chi Mu Jiu simply replied lightly, "Father, the Chi family is still yours; you won't lose out on this."
After saying that, she chose not to continue the topic. It was too late to play the emotional card; she wouldn’t be easily swayed by such words anymore.
“Father, I’m leaving. He’s waiting for me.”
The moment Chi Mu Jiu stepped out of the Chi family’s front gate, she felt as if the air had cleared significantly. The gloom that had weighed heavily on her heart dissipated in an instant, and she felt a wave of relief wash over her. Taking a deep breath, she savored this rare sense of ease.
Not far away, Du Hengyan leaned against his car. Upon seeing her emerge, he tossed the half-finished cigarette into the ashtray. This was the first time Chi Mu Jiu had seen him smoking.
Looking at his stern yet resolute face, an inexplicable warmth surged within her. The sharp contours of his features spoke of his strength and responsibility.
“Du Hengyan,” she called out as she walked toward him, her voice carrying a hint of cheerfulness.
“Mm.”
Du Hengyan waved his hand a few times to disperse the lingering smell of smoke, seemingly wanting to keep it from affecting her.
“It looks like everything went smoothly,” he said with a smile. “I have something to discuss with you as well.”
He opened the car door for her. As the vehicle pulled away, Chi Mu Jiu caught sight of Chi Qiyun’s car just pulling into the Chi family courtyard.
