A knock sounded at the door. Mi Lan opened it, and Butler Wu respectfully told her that the master was waiting for her downstairs. He asked her to tidy up and come down as soon as possible.

Mi Xi also came over to look at Butler Wu and asked why her father was looking for her mother so early. Butler Wu didn't say much, just repeated it again and left.

Mi Lan didn't have time to think about anything, so she quickly tidied up and hurriedly went downstairs.

Seeing Li Hongyun step forward and speak hesitantly, "Mr. Li, is there something you need from me?"

As they received their marriage certificate, Li Hongyun spoke without changing his expression.

Mi Lan...

Seeing that Mi Lan was standing there in a daze, Li Hongyun tapped the table and Mi Lan came back to her senses. She pointed to the seat next to her and gestured for her to sit down. He said indifferently, "There is a contract in front of you that you would like to take a look at."

Upon hearing this, Mi Lan picked up the contract and carefully examined it.

The document states that Li Hongyun and Mi Lan agreed to a three-year marriage, during which Li Hongyun would bear all normal expenses.

He is also entitled to a 300 million yuan divorce settlement. He is prohibited from harassing her after the divorce.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hongyun said, "It's clearly written above that if we get divorced, you will receive 300 million in compensation."

If you continue to harass me after the divorce, I will make you pay for everything I've sacrificed.

Of course, you can choose not to sign. Even if you don't sign, I will still give you 300 million.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Then I saw Mi Lan pick up the pen and sign her name without hesitation, saying, "President Li, I really like you. I have never forgotten you in sixteen years."

What she was really thinking was that if she could win over Li Hongyun within three years, that would be the best outcome. If not, she would do her best to help her daughter acquire more shares.

Li Hongyun glanced at the woman who hadn't hesitated at all, then at the woman who had signed the agreement, and said nothing more.

Hearing the woman say she had loved him for sixteen years, he seemed thoughtful, but he didn't dwell on it for long. These were things for later. He simply stood up and walked out.

Mi Lan also got up and quickly followed, afraid of being left behind.

Once they were in the car, they were already planning what to do next.

A man stood respectfully in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Upon seeing Li Hongyun get out of the car, he immediately went to greet him. "President Li, everything has been taken care of. We will go directly through the VIP channel to get our marriage certificate in the fastest and simplest way." He also glanced at the woman next to Li Hongyun out of the corner of his eye.

Mi Lan felt a pang of bitterness upon hearing the receptionist's words; was she really that unpresentable?

Ten minutes later, Li Hongyun and Mi Lan came out, each holding a red booklet.

Upon seeing Li Hongyun emerge, the secretary immediately came over, took the red booklet, and followed Li Hongyun.

Li Hongyun turned to look at the woman, his tone distant.

I'm going to work now, you can go home first.

He strode away before Mi Lan could speak.

As the Rolls-Royce drove away, the bodyguard in the car behind approached Mi Lan and said politely, "Madam, please get in the car."

Mi Lan nodded and got in the car, which slowly drove towards the Li family villa.

Upon hearing the car, Mi Xi hurriedly went out and saw Mi Lan get out of the car. The two exchanged glances.

Mi Xi took Mi Lan's arm and walked straight into the bedroom. Mi Xi immediately asked what was going on.

Your father and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning to get our marriage certificate, and we are now officially husband and wife.

Upon hearing this, Mi Xi was also pleasantly surprised.

We've only just truly established ourselves in the Li family now, and my next move is to take down your father as quickly as possible.

That way you'll have a voice in this family and won't have to worry about what others think.

"So what's our next step?" Mi Xi asked.

Mi Lan thought for a moment and said, "What you need to do now is study hard and get good grades."

You must outshine Li Mu and Li Yi so that your father will think more highly of you.

Mi Xi nodded in deep agreement. She was very confident in her grades and did not believe that pampered young masters and ladies could have good grades.

Under Mi Lan's deliberate guidance, Mi Xi achieved excellent grades, reaching level seven in piano and excelling in dance. She also hired a etiquette teacher to instruct Mi Xi in manners, resulting in her having excellent etiquette skills.

Therefore, Mi Xi was unwilling to accept that she was so outstanding and excellent, and that Li Mu, that pretty face, could not compare to her.

She herself grew up in a poor, remote place like Y City, yet she possesses the most prestigious status in the world and grew up in the most prosperous capital city.

I want to outshine him and become the most dazzling jewel. I've made up my mind and am full of confidence as I wait for the start of school the day after tomorrow.

Li Mu drove his Bugatti Centodieci to the riverbank and stopped, playing music.

The river surface was shimmering and tranquil at night.

Standing here, I try to sort out my chaotic thoughts. She couldn't stop Mi Lan and Mi Xi from entering the Li family, because it was her father's doing; even his children could only remain silent.

You can't just prevent your father from acknowledging his biological daughter!

There was nothing that could be stopped from getting a marriage certificate with Mi Lan, because it was her grandfather's order.

Grandpa loves me the most, but Mi Xi is also Grandpa's granddaughter. I have no right to interfere because she is also Grandpa's own granddaughter.

That means you can prevent the track from changing itself.
