Half an hour later.

Inside the Liu family's room of reflection.

"Let me out!"

Liu Qingqing pounded on the door frantically, roaring at the top of her lungs, "Why are you locking me up here? I'm going to sue you! I'm going to put you all in jail!"

[Click]

With a click of a lock being opened, the door to the room of reflection opened.

Liu Qingqing stood there, stunned.

Those who appeared outside the door, besides one of the security guards who had just dragged her here and locked her up, included her father, Liu Jingzhong.

Let's go.

Liu Jingzhong didn't say anything more, just said this, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Dad, what exactly happened?"

Liu Qingqing hurriedly followed, indignantly saying, "That old bastard Liu Jingxian, why..."

[Slap]

Before she could finish speaking, she received a slap across the face from Liu Jingzhong.

Liu Qingqing covered her face, somewhat unable to believe her eyes.

Her father doted on her from childhood and never laid a hand on her.

Unexpectedly, an exception was made today.

Just because she was wrongly accused?

Or was it because he called Liu Jingxian an old man?

Even so, her father shouldn't have slapped her so hard, right?

Her face hurt!

If a mark is left, will her beautiful face be ruined?

If she were disfigured, she really wouldn't want to live anymore.

"Qingqing, from this moment on, if you dare to utter a single word before I give you permission, I will slap you across the face!"

After giving that fierce warning, Liu Jingzhong turned and continued walking.

Liu Qingqing's chest heaved violently; she was so ashamed and indignant that she almost lost her temper on the spot.

But thinking about how she had just embarrassed herself in public and been unjustly accused by Wang Qian, she forced herself to endure it and silently followed him.

Not long after, she returned home.

The Liu family residence is not a single building or courtyard, but an entire complex.

Almost all the direct descendants of the Liu family live here.

Each family was naturally assigned to a different area.

"Close the door!"

Once inside, Liu Jingzhong found a chair and sat down before waving to Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing dared not speak, so she closed the door, stood back in front of Liu Jingzhong, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression one of extreme grievance.

"Do you know why I hit you just now?" Liu Jingzhong asked in a deep voice.

Liu Qingqing shook her head and remained silent.

Liu Jingzhong's lips twitched, and he scolded him with exasperation, "Now you can speak!"

Liu Qingqing was so frightened that she took two steps back, her face turning deathly pale.

But seeing that Liu Jingzhong was furious, she could only put on a pitiful look and choked out, "Dad, I shouldn't have called Uncle San an old man. I know I was wrong."

"You're several years older than Yanran, yet you're not as mature and wise as her. How can I expect you to turn the tide?" Liu Jingzhong rubbed his forehead, his face full of disappointment.

"What do you mean by turning the tide?"

Liu Qingqing looked puzzled. "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"That's enough!"

Liu Jingzhong waved his hand impatiently, "Since we've already gambled with the third brother, we have no choice but to go all in!"

Not wanting to waste time, he immediately recounted in detail the details of his bet with Liu Jingxian in the hall.

After hearing this, Liu Qingqing was overjoyed. "Dad, you're so kind! From today onwards, can I finally replace Liu Yanran in the Liu family?"

"Hmph, it's not even close to being settled yet, what are you so excited about?"

Liu Jingzhong promptly poured cold water on the idea, saying, "This bet is not only a major test of your personal abilities, but also the key to whether I can reclaim the Liu family's mantle."

"so……"

He stared intently at Liu Qingqing, emphasizing each word, "You absolutely mustn't mess this up!"

Liu Qingqing puffed out her chest and confidently assured him, "Dad, don't worry, dealing with a nouveau riche from the countryside is a piece of cake!"

Liu Jingzhong clenched his fists tightly, and his face darkened again.

Wang Qian truly rose from poverty and hardship to achieve a remarkable turnaround in the county town.

but,

If she were really that easy to deal with, Liu Yanran wouldn't have been constantly getting the short end of the stick.

His daughter, Liu Qingqing, is quite something; she doesn't understand anything yet, but she dares to spout nonsense here.

If he were to let his daughter do it, the outcome would certainly not be much better than Liu Yanran's, and might even be worse.

"Dad, I know you've always thought I'd never grow up, but there's a reason for that!"

Seeing Liu Jingzhong's anger, Liu Qingqing explained earnestly, "I was so irresponsible before because my third uncle never gave me any authority, leaving me no room to show my abilities, so I could only give up on myself!"

She paused, then added, "If we're really talking about methods, how could Liu Yanran, this obedient girl, possibly compare to me?"

Liu Jingzhong's mind stirred.

Indeed, in terms of education, overall perspective and foresight, etc., his daughter Liu Qingqing may not be able to compare with Liu Yanran.

However, when it comes to all sorts of crooked ideas and insidious tricks, his daughter is indeed very talented.

In addition, his daughter has always acted without principles or bottom lines, making her difficult to guard against.

This kind of personality is certainly not suitable for high society, but it can be surprisingly effective when used against a specific person.

"Alright, since you're confident, I'll let you do it!"

After careful consideration, Liu Jingzhong finally compromised, "But remember, you can only mobilize one million in assets, and you cannot use the power of your family to assist you."
