Du Qianyun retorted coldly, "You make it sound like you'd spare my life if I were obedient and well-behaved. How ridiculous."

As she spoke, she burst into laughter, her eyes glistening with tears.

If she hadn't left four years ago, the grass on her grave would be as tall as a person by now.

"What did you say?" Her reaction made Du Gan suspicious; it seemed like she knew something.

But is that possible? Only he and Liu Yuan know about that decision; he won't tell anyone. Could it be Liu Yuan?

His probing gaze fell on Liu Yuan; she shouldn't be that kind of fool.

Liu Yuan is a shrewd person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to oust the original wife and successfully marry into a wealthy family.

She immediately sensed Du Gan's skepticism towards her; how dare he doubt her?

She even suspected that he couldn't bear to kill Du Qianyun, so he secretly sent her out of Country C.

Du Qianyun took in their expressions; it seemed they didn't completely trust each other.

So who should she frame?

It seems women are more prone to losing their temper, so let's frame Du Gan for it.

She lowered her head, gathering her emotions, and after a while, she looked up at her father, who was only related to her by blood but had no affection for her.

“You gave me my life, so as long as I can get the position of heir, I can give you all the shares. After all, you are my only family.”

Two tears streamed down her cheeks, her clear eyes filled with longing.

It's as if she really needs this family affection.

Her short sentence stirred up a great deal of emotion in both of them.

Du Gan did it for the line, "I can give you the shares," while Liu Yuan did it for the line, "You saved my life."

"You said you're willing to give me all your shares?" Du Gan was still skeptical, after all, Du Qianyun didn't seem as easy to talk to as before.

“If I were still the only daughter of the Du family, I would naturally be willing.”

"Shut up! What do you mean by 'only daughter'? Qianqian is the Du family's only daughter." Liu Yuan interrupted her.

She finally saw through Du Qianyun's intentions; she wanted to use those shares to drive her and her daughter out of the Du family.

She's so cunning; we can't underestimate her anymore.

"I remember you said you would give up anything for him, it seems you were just joking." Du Qianyun glanced at Du Gan indifferently.

It's like saying the woman you found doesn't truly love you.

"Liu Yuan, shut up." He said to the person next to him with displeasure before looking at Du Qianyun again.

“You know Liu Yuan has been with me for so many years. She has worked hard even if she hasn’t done anything great. And Qianqian is also my daughter. You… let’s change the terms.”

"Oh, so she's your daughter. It seems I'm the only outsider here."

"You are still the eldest daughter of the Du family, and I will not mistreat you in the future."

“Du Gan, do you know what? If you had told me this four years ago, I might have believed you. But now, it’s too late.”

"Du Qianyun, it seems you no longer want to be a member of the Du family." How dare she call him by his name directly.

Since that's the case, he no longer needs to have any reservations.

He was determined to get those 20% of the shares back.

“Yes, apart from Grandpa, there is no one in the entire Du family who can be called a human being. Why should I still be a member of the Du family? The reason I still have the surname Du is all for Grandpa.”

"Are you really going to force me like this?" Du Gan had completely lost his patience, and a hint of murderous intent gradually rose in his eyes.

"What, you failed to kill me four years ago, now you want to kill me again?"

"Du Qianyun, hand over your shares today, or else..."

"I want to know one thing, and I want to know the truth. Tell me honestly, or else..."

He's not the only one who threatens people.

"What's up?"

"About my mother, and the truth about your attempt to kill me."

"What exactly do you know? Who told you all this?"

"Of course it's you, otherwise how would I know about such a secret matter?"

"Us?" Du Gan looked at Liu Yuan again.

Liu Yuan shook her head repeatedly when questioned, insisting that it really wasn't her who said it.

“My mother heard every single word you were discussing this matter.”

Du Qianyun smiled faintly at first, but then tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls, and she couldn't stop them.

She continued, "My mother knew about your scandalous affair a long time ago, but she didn't expose it until she heard that you wanted to kill me. Do you know how she felt at that time?"

"Who among you can understand her pain? She ended her own life for my rebirth, so that I could escape your clutches. You are the ones who deserve to die."

“For the past four years, I have hardly slept through the night, just so that you can also experience the despair of my mother. Now is the time.”

Du Qianyun's fingernails had dug into her palms, and she let out a piercing laugh. "Mom, did you see that?"

Starting today, I will make them live in constant fear until they have nothing left.

"You haven't learned anything else, but you've learned arrogance. So what if you know the truth?"

"Du Gan, I just want to ask you one question: do you really have absolutely no feelings for my mother?"

Du Gan was taken aback, never expecting her to ask such a question. He couldn't quite remember what the woman looked like.

I only remember that she spoke very gently and had a similar personality, but she was also very boring.

No man likes a woman who never changes, and he was no exception.

"Our marriage was arranged, how could we possibly have any feelings for each other?"

Du Qianyun laughed angrily, "Very well, my mother probably doesn't care either. There's one more thing, it's also a fact that you wanted to kill me?"

"So what? Hand over the shares, or you won't be leaving the Du family's house today."

"Give it to me, how much do you want?" She wiped away her tears and rallied.

"Of course, all of them."

"All of it? That's forty percent. You have quite the appetite."

Du Gan and Liu Yuan were both shocked by her words.

What do you mean 40 percent? She only owns 20 percent of the shares.

"What trick are you playing?" Du Gan naturally didn't believe she really had that many shares.

Only 20% of the shares in the Du Group are held by other shareholders; the remaining 80% belong to the Du family.

Du Qianyun has 20% in her hands, and the other 60% has always been in his hands.

However, Liu Yuan and Du Qianqian eventually persuaded him to give them 10%, so he still had 40% left.

How could Du Qianyun possibly own the same shares as him, unless she had the ability to acquire all the scattered shares?

But it's obvious that's impossible.

"You'll have to ask the people around you, Liu Yuan. Thank you and Du Qianqian for selling me that 20% of the shares."
