Under the moonlight, Jiang Wangshu took Yu Dong out without realizing it. She came to a private club, as if she was waiting for someone.

After a while, a woman in a camel coat and shoulder-length hair walked up to Jiang Wangshu with a capable and steady pace. Her red lips were perfectly outlined, and a pair of large silver hoop earrings were particularly eye-catching.

After she sat down, she politely nodded to Jiang Wangshu and apologized: "Sorry, Miss Jiang, I'm late."

Jiang Wangshu glanced at the time and didn't care about her being late. He just pointed to the seat in front of her and said, "Miss Hua, please sit down."

The "Miss Hua" she mentioned is Hua Qifei's granddaughter - Hua Xiyue, who is also Hua Lixin's half-sister. Hua Jianming is obsessed with flowers and loves to attract bees and butterflies. He has many children. Although he is stupid, fortunately his sons and daughters are better than him.

Hua Xiyue lived up to her name, with a bright and pleasing appearance, but her personality was quite different from her name. She smoothed the hair beside her ears and said, "Miss Jiang, oh no, should I call you Director Jiang instead?"

Jiang Wangshu looked up and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a title. Miss Hua, please feel free to do as you please."

Hua Xiyue nodded and got straight to the point: "I think you came to me today not just for the simple greetings between relatives."

She was straightforward, and Jiang Wangshu didn't like beating around the bush, so he said bluntly, "Miss Hua, you are almost 30 years old this year, right? Hua Tingrui, Fu Chengqian and most of your classmates who are your age have already taken over the family power, but you are still stuck in the position of manager."

Hearing this, Hua Xiyue pursed her lips with a very bad expression, her eyes gradually turned cold, she stared at Jiang Wangshu with her fingers clenched tightly.

But Jiang Wangshu ignored it and continued, "Miss Hua, it's not that you don't have talent, it's just that someone deliberately doesn't want you to be the center of attention. Am I right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Hua Xiyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Wangshu, her gaze as cold as the twelfth lunar month.

Rich and powerful families rarely let women take power, let alone let their daughters inherit the family business. Compared to giving them real power, they are more willing to pamper them and feed them up to become the best tools for marriage, in the name of realizing their value and not letting down the family's careful cultivation over the years.

The same is true for Hua Xiyue.

Hua Qifei's family has more wolves than meat, and both the incompetent and the capable are greedily coveting the little family property, but the decision is in Hua Qifei's hands, and he chose Hua Lixin. Although Hua Xiyue's ability is far superior to Hua Lixin, in the end there is only endless pressure to get married and suppression.

Not all family heads are named Mu Xiuzhi.

Mu Xiuzhi's courage and vision are unmatched. She will never give up any heir because of gender, but will only discard them because of incompetence. Jiang Wangshu and Hua Chun are both people she has taken a fancy to and decided to vigorously support and cultivate.

Jiang Wangshu suppressed his sharpness, tapped the table with his jade-like slender fingers, and opened his lips, throwing out bait. His clear voice was bewitching, "As long as you are willing, I will give you 5% of the Hua family's assets to manage."

Her eyes moved and her tone paused slightly, "If the result satisfies me, I will give you all the inheritance rights in Hua Qifei's hands."

"Really?" Hua Xiyue was shocked. Her right hand holding the water cup trembled with excitement. The liquid in the cup shook and splashed onto the back of her hand.

She was moved. No one would not be moved by power.

Jiang Wangshu slowly curled his lips, "Of course, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."

The bait has been spread, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Playing hard to get, Jiang Wangshu took a glance and stood up, pretending to leave, but his eyes casually fell on Hua Xiyue's face.

"Think carefully, is it better to follow Hua Qifei or to follow us?"

"I'll give you three days."

Hua Xiyue's face was tense and her palms were sweating. While Jiang Wangshu was speaking, she had been weighing and thinking in her mind.

Before Jiang Wangshu turned around and stepped out of the box, she suddenly said, "No need."

Jiang Wangshu, who had his back to her, paused.

Hua Xiyue took a deep breath, then she turned around, walked towards Jiang Wangshu with a smile on her face, and decisively extended her hand, "I promise you."

Jiang Wangshu shook hands back and smiled, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Sister Xiyue." Hua Xiyue nodded, "I hope we can work together happily, sister-in-law."

This is why Jiang Wangshu chose Hua Xiyue as his ally. Hua Lixin is a deep-minded person who is a rival to the smart and decisive Hua Xiyue. She has a close relationship with Hua Qifei and others, but she hides a long-standing resentment.

She doesn't have that much time to play house fights with these old guys. After all, if everything in the company under her management requires her to work hard, she will die of exhaustion at work sooner or later.

She doesn't care whether others are tired or not.

Xue Lian, Hua Xiyue and others were all her allies. They would rather work for her than for others, because she had more bargaining chips than anyone else.

……

Just as Jiang Wangshu expected, Hua Lixin was indeed a man of deep thoughts.

He secretly sent people to keep an eye on the Hua family. "Master, the Hua family is very tight-lipped. We can't get any information. We only know that Jiang Wangshu has been in the Hua family for several years and has been living there. Moreover... he has a close relationship with the Third Young Master and seems to have been dating for a long time."

As expected, it was pretty much the same as what he guessed. Hua Lixin nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. You continue to help me keep an eye on them."

"Yes."

Hua Lixin and others really didn't take Hua Tingjue seriously, thinking that he was just a lucky parasite in the family, with no other ability except reincarnation. But he could vaguely sense the familiar aura of Jiang Wangshu.

Because he has been suppressed by Hua Tingrui and Hua Tingjin of the same clan for many years, and because he has little power, his character is more cautious than Hua Qifei and Hua Jianming. Once he is alert, his spirit will be highly tense. However, his resources are limited, and he cannot find any useful information at present due to the intentional interference of Mu Xiuzhi and Jiang Wangshu.

On this side, Hua Lixin happened to meet Hua Xiyue on his way home. They could be said to be old enemies. Hua Xiyue didn't intend to pay attention to him and took a detour.

But Hua Lixin blocked her way and smiled contemptuously, "Sure enough, Grandpa is right. Big sister, you have turned yourself into an old woman, and you still want to compete with me? Humph, you overestimate your own abilities."

Because of her mother, Hua Xiyue was used to their sarcasm. She glared at Hua Lixin and mocked him, "Mind yourself, and stop showing off your qualifications that you only got with your life."

Hua Lixin was annoyed, "You..."

He was about to teach Hua Xiyue a lesson, but stopped because of the arrival of the servant. The servant said to Hua Xiyue cautiously: "Miss, the master asked you to go to the study."

Hua Xiyue: "Okay, I understand."

……

In the study, Hua Qifei was sitting cross-legged. Hearing the noise, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Grandpa." Hua Xiyue called him.

Hua Qifei waved his hand, "Come here."

"Do you know why I asked you to come back so late?"

Hua Xiyue shook her head, "I don't know."

"I've asked someone to find some good young talents for you. Take a look for yourself. If there is one that satisfies you, I will arrange your marriage as soon as possible. Time is tight, so don't delay my important matter." Hua Qifei is now eager to expand his power through marriage so that he can fight against Mu Xiuzhi.

Among the grandchildren, Hua Xiyue is a little older, but her appearance, talent, means and abilities are better than others, making her the best candidate for marriage.

Hua Xiyue pinched her palm with her fingernails. She still had a glimmer of hope and struggled unwillingly, "Grandpa, I can obviously do better than others, why..."

Before she could finish, Hua Qifei was immediately furious, and sternly scolded, "Alright!" His eyes were wide open, looking horrifying, "Look at your age, an old leftover woman! You are a girl, I shouldn't have sent you to the ancestral home, you learned bad things from Mu Xiuzhi, you used to be so obedient and sensible!"

Hua Xiyue said nothing.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Hua Qifei was upset when he mentioned Mu Xiuzhi, and continued to teach Hua Xiyue a lesson: "Besides, your family has raised you for so many years, it's time for you to repay us!"

Finally, Hua Qifei threatened her with a sinister smile: "You don't want your mother's tablet to never enter the Hua family's gate, do you?"

Faced with the constant scolding and coercion, Hua Xiyue's hope was shattered and she was completely heartbroken. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, she changed her stubbornness and nodded in a resigned manner, saying in a hoarse voice: "I will follow Grandpa's arrangements."

In his early years, Hua Qifei was used to being humble. He was satisfied and smiled when he got the younger generation's obedience. He took a sip of tea and said in an almost condescending tone: "Well, that's right. This is grandpa's good granddaughter."

"Go out."

The moment she stepped out of the study, Hua Xiyue looked back, undercurrents surging in her eyes, and she silently said in her heart: Grandpa, since you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being cruel and ignoring family affection.
