Lan Yao's declaration of severing ties with her family surprised everyone present. The Lan family was a renowned and wealthy merchant family in Shanghai, having accumulated their wealth since the Ming Dynasty, even donating some of it when forced to.

But family members know their own situation. What they donated was just the tip of the iceberg; they actually have a large fortune hidden away.

The Lan family has survived for over a century because the head of the Lan family had foresight, planning three steps ahead and cleverly hiding the Lan family's wealth in multiple locations.

As long as the Lan family doesn't do anything reckless and stays put, they can still live a wealthier life than others.

Now that idiot Lan Yao is telling them she wants to sever ties with them?

Everyone remained calm, their emotions barely stirred. Only Lan Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and her whole body trembled.

She looked at Old Master Lan, hoping he would agree to kick Lan Yao out. That way... she gripped the jade pendant tightly... she could still be the young lady of the Lan family and take all of the Lan family's assets for herself, as long as she had this jade pendant.

The air fell silent for a moment as everyone held their breath, waiting for Grandpa Lan's answer.

Grandpa Lan met Lan Yao's gaze, frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Are you the girl from the third son's family who was just found not long ago?"

Lan Yao curled the corners of her lips, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Old man, what's the point of asking this now? You were one of those who ignored my plight. Don't give me that nonsense. I just want to sever ties with your family now; maybe that way I can still survive."

This was the first time Old Master Lan had been so disrespected by a junior, and his expression turned cold: "Are you sure you want to sever ties with the Lan family? Are you going back to the Xu family?"

Lan Yao chuckled and said, "I got the letter of severance from the Lan family, so naturally I'll ask the Xu family for a copy as well. I don't want to be stuck with these two disgusting relatives of yours."

Grandpa Lan: ...

This sharp-tongued little girl, when pushed to the limit, knows how to bite, just like her old lady in her youth.

Grandpa Lan knew about Lan Yao's plight, but he didn't care.

He looked down on the cowardly Lan Yao, who didn't even know how to fight back or show weakness. Who would have thought that she would have improved so much after not seeing her for a while?

Grandpa Lan sighed and asked again, "Are you sure you want to sever ties with the Lan family? The world is not good these days. You are a poor, helpless girl. Without the protection of your family, you won't be able to survive outside."

"Stop talking nonsense, as if I could survive in your Lan family. Hurry up and give me the letter severing ties."

Seeing that Lan Yao was stubborn and unyielding, Old Master Lan got angry and immediately ordered Lan Yao's father, Lan Xingcheng, to write a letter severing ties with him.

Lan Xingcheng had no objection. He had no feelings for his daughter Lan Yao at all. Yesterday, Lan Yao had embarrassed him as an elder. He wished he didn't have this daughter.

Therefore, he wrote the letter severing ties very quickly, and after finishing, he looked at Lan Yao expressionlessly and said, "Sign it."

Lan Yao: "Write two more copies."

Lan Xingcheng: ...

He inhaled, he held his breath! Soon he would never have to disappear again!

Lan Xingcheng wrote two more copies with a face full of anger. Lan Yao stepped forward, looked at them, and after confirming that there were no problems, she signed her name and pressed her fingerprint.

Lan Xingcheng followed her and signed his name and fingerprint without hesitation.

Seeing that the father and daughter were both so eager, Grandpa Lan sighed and said, "Girl, you'll regret this."

Lan Yao: "Your Lan family is a place that devours people without spitting out the bones. I'm afraid that if I'm even a step too late, I'll die a horrible death here, which would be a huge loss. Your Lan family doesn't deserve it!"

Grandpa Lan: ...

He was furious. He snorted heavily, snatched the pen from Lan Xingcheng's hand, and scribbled a few lines.

Finally, they made the other members of the Lan family sign and put their fingerprints on the document.

The elders of the Lan family didn't care, but the younger generation was happy to see it happen.

After Lan Chengzhi saw that everyone had signed the severance of kinship, he said to Lan Yao, "Now that the severance of kinship has been signed, Lan Yao, you can leave now."

"By the way! You're no longer a member of the Lan family, so get out of here."

"I heard you hit Jiaojiao yesterday? I haven't even settled the score with you yet! You just wait!"

"Since she's no longer a member of the Lan family, we can't let her take anything from the Lan family."

Lan Jiaojiao shrank behind the others, her eyes revealing intense malice and smugness: "Lan Yao, you are so unfilial. Look how angry you have made Grandpa and the others."

Lan Chengzhi: "Jiaojiao, what nonsense are you talking to her about? Tell her to get out of here. And don't you dare take a single needle or thread from the Lan family. I'll be watching you."

Lan Yao couldn't be bothered with them at all. After she dealt with the Xu family and the Qian family, she would report all three of them together and then watch them cry with a smile.

Grandpa Lan waved his hand impatiently, signaling Lan Yao to leave quickly, as he still had to deal with the Lan family's lost property.

Lan Yao didn't dawdle. She went back to her little shabby house, picked up her bundle, and headed out.

"Wait!" Someone blocked Lan Yao's path, their face full of hostility. "Weren't you quite arrogant yesterday? You even dared to snatch Jiao Jiao's things. I advise you..."

Lan Yao slapped the boy across the face, and before he could react, she kicked him twice in the stomach. The boy screamed in pain. The onlookers exchanged glances and stepped forward in unison, determined to teach Lan Yao a lesson for bullying Lan Jiaojiao.

Then……

A few minutes later, Lan Yao clapped her hands and looked down at the people lying on the ground: "You bunch of scum, you even tried to bully a weak girl like me, you're not men at all. Since you don't want to be men, I'll grant your wish."

Lan Yao glanced at them indifferently, then took out the gender-changing drug produced in the post-apocalyptic world. Under the resentful gazes of the group of boys, she grabbed them by the back of their collars and stuffed a mouthful of the pill into each of their mouths. The pink pills melted instantly in their mouths, and even though they covered their necks and gagged, they couldn't vomit anything.

"What...what did you feed us?"

"Lan Yao, you bitch! Tell me what you fed us!"

Lan Yao said slowly, "What else could it be? We'll turn you into intersex people. Then you'll grow little flowers."

After Lan Yao finished speaking, she shook her head with some regret: "It's a pity I have to leave. Otherwise, I could have fed you a few more, and then you would have completely turned into delicate girls."

So they think they can bully girls? Fine, she's fulfilling those people's wishes now.

Not only did they lose their male functions, but they also grew little flowers, allowing them to experience the joy of being a girl.

After saying this, Lan Yao climbed over the wall and left, leaving behind only the shocked and angry shouts of those who heard her words.

Lan Yao shrugged, completely unconcerned, because an even bigger surprise awaited the Lan family.

Lan Yao left the Lan family, stroking her chin, wondering where to go next.
