"Qian Jin! If you have even a shred of responsibility as a father, do as I say."
Those few words, "responsibility as a father," pierced Qian Jin's chest like a sword.
He fell silent for a long time. "Why are you doing this? Did Doctor order it?"
Gao Wenyuan knew that if he said Doctor had ordered it, Qian Jin would never help, so he chose to lie.
"Because I want to become chairman! You all owe me everything the Gao Family has. I'm taking back what belongs to me!"
Steward Qian jolted, staring at his son in disbelief.
This time, he did not refuse.
"I'll help you... consider it my way of making things up to you."
In a lush, green estate.
Mu Linsen was chasing fireflies through the gardens with Gao Mu. He preferred this place to the banquet because there were so many trees here.
Meanwhile, Gao Shiman was racing to pack her belongings. She could no longer stay at the Fortune Commerce Association. Even after handing all her businesses over to Gao Bancheng, she still felt no sense of security, terrified that she would be targeted once the transfer was complete.
So she planned to hide in Ten Thousand Woods for a while and look for a chance to make a comeback.
"Boss, the second young master is here," Blazing Eye reported, hurrying over.
Gao Shiman paused in her packing, her delicate brows drawing together slightly.
My second brother? What's he doing here?
"Let him in."
"Yes, boss."
Before long, Gao Wenyuan entered the living room, wearing a white lab coat and the same style of glasses as Doctor.
Gao Shiman had little warmth to spare for this younger brother, who seemed nothing like a member of the Gao Family.
"What are you here for?"
