Ming Family Home.

Ever since she received that phone call from Ming Yue, Liu Qinxin has been inexplicably restless.

In fact, she had her doubts even on the day Ming Yue moved out.

How could such a troublesome, headstrong person possibly obey without a fight and just move out like that?

Could it be…?

Liu Qinxin simply couldn’t put her mind at ease.

She knew that Brother Shuo still held some affection for that “unlucky star” in his heart; otherwise, there’s no way he would have allowed that “unlucky star” to run wild in the Ming Family for so many days.

But judging by what she knew about Ming Shuo, he shouldn’t be so fond of that “unlucky star” anymore.

After all, there’s more than just a thorn between father and daughter.

Yet…

Liu Qinxin pondered this over and over, unable to get a good night’s sleep for several days straight.

Now, thinking again about that phone call from Ming Yue, she couldn’t help but head toward Ming Shuo’s office, hoping to gauge his attitude—was he secretly giving that little brat a lot of things behind her back?

But before she even reached Ming Shuo’s office, she suddenly heard someone muttering under their breath, “Have you heard? Miss Ming is back!”

“Didn’t she come back a long time ago? What’s so surprising about that? There was such a big uproar online before—there were even photos of President Ming being beaten!”

“What are you talking about! Those were photos photoshopped by someone trying to frame Miss Ming. Didn’t President Ming already clarify that?”

“Who knows?”

“Really, Miss Ming doesn’t look like the kind of person who’d do something like that at all—she’s so quiet and graceful, speaking in such a soft voice. How could she ever lay a hand on someone, let alone beat up President Ming?” The person argued vehemently, then lowered their voice and said, “You don’t know—President Ming really fancies Miss Ming. Recently, not only has he given her a lot of money, but he’s also handed over Xingyu to her.”

“Xingyu? That’s our group’s most profitable subsidiary? Is that true?”

“It’s absolutely true—everything’s already going through the contract process.”

“Through the contract process? What does that mean? Is Miss Ming planning to go off on her own now? Is she leaving the group?”

“Maybe.”

“Sigh! It’s so frustrating comparing ourselves to others! Our Miss Ming is not only beautiful, but also so favored—and her boyfriend is so handsome, too. What a perfect life script! Why can’t I have something like that?”

“What’s so great about it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know?”

“Know what?”

“Of course it’s Miss Ming’s personal affairs!”

“What are you talking about?”

“What else could it be? Of course it’s that… who else! Back when so many things happened at the Ming Family, not long after that person joined the company and started following President Ming around every day. Anyone with eyes could tell exactly what was going on.”

“If you’re talking about that, I’ve also heard some rumors.”

“What kind of rumors?”

“It’s that person—Liu Jia, Miss Liu, that precious daughter of hers. Rumor has it she’s President Ming’s illegitimate child and was originally supposed to be groomed as a future leader of our group, trained according to our standard succession plan. But for some reason, the higher-ups suddenly changed their minds and sent her down to work at the grassroots level instead.”

“With her personality and abilities, she wouldn’t even be able to handle an ordinary job—how could she possibly compare with our Miss Ming? Who is our Miss Ming? She’s the younger sister whom Da Shaoye cherishes and spoils, and her capabilities are definitely no worse than his. Sigh, if only Da Shaoye were still alive! During the time he led us in our work…”

“Yeah! Good people don’t live long!”

“Exactly!”
