A hint of surprise flashed in Old Master Fu's eyes; he hadn't expected that she would change so much in the five years since they last met.

She didn't show any panic when she saw herself, so it seems she had a premonition.

To still dare to use that tone now is to underestimate her.

"What, are you going to disobey me?"

"I'm curious, Mr. Fu, are you really willing to let your Mr. Fu's descendants recognize someone else as their father and be included in someone else's family tree in the future?"

After saying that, Old Master Fu's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Do you think I would care about something like this?"

"Of course you don't care. You're just worried about whether the Fu family's business will be affected. You just want your grandson to be obedient and marry a suitable granddaughter-in-law."

In the past, Jiang Yilai was so nervous in front of him that she couldn't even speak properly. But after years of practice in various situations, she can now handle all relationships with ease.

"You seem to know very well."

“I haven’t shown up for the past five years, and I’ve already decided to sever ties with you. This trip back to China was purely a work arrangement by the company, and not something I wanted.”

Jiang Yilai continued, "My reunion with Fu Nanxiao was also unexpected, and it was because he kept pestering me not to leave, otherwise I wouldn't have appeared in front of you."

"Are you just trying to make me think that you're not the same person you used to be, and that I can't do anything about you anymore?"

How could Old Master Fu accept being contradicted?

Jiang Yilai sighed: "You're still so domineering. I'm not trying to show you anything, but to tell you that I have my own life now, including my child, which has nothing to do with your Fu family. Don't try to tell me what to do."

Jiang Yilai understood his purpose: he was worried that Fu Nanxiao would discover the child's true parentage and wanted her to publicly acknowledge that the child was Li Luyao's.

Jiang Yilai could not tolerate such a shameless act.

"You've really grown up. What can you do if I force you to do this?"

"Then I can only tell Fu Nanxiao and let him make the choice."

"You dare!"

Grandpa Fu really didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, she would become such a domineering person.

Jiang Yilai had a "what's the use" attitude. Even if Fu Nanxiao didn't want the child, it was already a living person. Even if he didn't like it, could he accept recognizing someone else as his father?

"Why wouldn't I dare? You've pushed me to this point, and now you want me to do even more outrageous things."

If one simply obeys him to protect himself, what is the point of living?

Having grown accustomed to her submissive nature, Old Master Fu found her current assertive attitude unacceptable.

"You're quite the smooth talker, but I've never failed at anything I set out to do."

"I've already said before that it's best if we have nothing to do with each other. If Master Fu insists on making things difficult for me, I can only resolve it in my own way."

After Jiang Yilai finished speaking, she nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I hope I won't have to see you again."

After saying that, Jiang Yilai opened the car door and got out. From now on, she would no longer compromise with these people.

A piercing horn blared behind her; it was Old Master Fu venting his dissatisfaction with her.

Jiang Yilai didn't turn around and strode forward; no one could stop her now.

Staring at that stubborn back, Old Master Fu's eyes flashed with hatred. No one could disobey his orders, and this Jiang Yilai was courting death.

He won't let anyone break his rules.
