What? The villain wants to marry me?

As the festive atmosphere grew stronger, the Xie family welcomed a major event before the New Year.

Mrs. Xie’s birthday.

Speaking of Mrs. Xie, she is also a well-known figure.

Mrs. Xie’s original surname was Xu, and her name was Xu Yanfang. She was the daughter of the Xu family, a third-rate family in An City.

At that time, the head of the Xu family had two daughters and one son. Although they were not outstanding, they were smarter than ordinary people.

In addition to their family background, Xu Yanfang and her two siblings lived a pretty good life and had a good relationship with each other.

But as they grow older, their abilities become apparent.

Among them, Xu Yanfang showed amazing business talent.

After much deliberation, Xu Yanfang's father decided to train Xu Yanfang to be the next generation successor.

Xu Yanfang's sister didn't feel anything, because compared to doing business, she prefers literary and artistic things. Therefore, she has no opinion on who takes over the company, because she will get her share of the money anyway.

Besides, whether it is my sister or brother, they are all from the same mother, so how can I be at a disadvantage?

But Xu Yanfang's younger brother didn't think so. He thought, he is the son and can carry on the family line. Why should his sister take over the company? He refused to accept it.

So he went to his father to argue, but Xu's father immediately took out a plan and asked him to give him a satisfactory answer within two days.

Xu Yanfang's brother was dumbfounded. He had never been involved in the project before, and they asked him to look at the plan and give a satisfactory answer. How could he possibly do that? He even complained that it was unfair.

Father Xu didn't rush. Instead, he took out Xu Yanfang's plan from that time and told his son: "You say I'm partial? But think about it, from childhood to adulthood, which of the three of you have I ever been partial to? Also, your sister is more talented than you, that's a fact.

When faced with the same problem, your sister did not back off because she had never encountered it before. Instead, she tried to understand and learn, and tried to find ways to solve the problem I raised.

But what about you? You haven't even read the proposal, and you say you've never been exposed to it and can't do it. You don't even bother to understand and learn before coming to me.

This is the gap between you.

As a company decision-maker, if you can't even handle this basic thing, then who will solve the company's crisis? Who can help you for the rest of your life?"

Xu Yanfang's younger brother was hit hard and realized his own shortcomings, but he still refused to give in and said that one day he would defeat his sister and take back the company.

Xu's father did not stop this. After all, people need pressure to be motivated.

Later, Xu Yanfang joined the company after graduating from high school, but started from the grassroots level.

When she went to work, she deliberately concealed her identity so that no one in her department knew that she was the daughter of the company chairman.

Xu Yanfang is often bullied by others at work, but she resolves them one by one.

As her work experience improved and she got to know the company better, she discovered that the company had many problems that needed to be fixed urgently.

Father Xu told her not to be anxious and to lay a solid foundation before solving the problem.

Xu Yanfang listened to her father's advice and took steady steps. Two years later, she was promoted out of turn because of her outstanding performance.

Only after she became the department leader did she start to rectify the situation.

First, she rectified the problems in the department. Later, she attended university while handling company affairs. Because she was skilled, she handled them with ease.

Because he felt that university took too long, he graduated early and then officially joined the company.

It was then that the people in the company realized that she was the eldest daughter.

With the support of Xu's father, Xu Yanfang carried out reforms in all departments of the company, which took the company to a higher level.

In the business world, people who once looked down on her were impressed by her and were willing to cooperate with her.

Later, when she was almost thirty, Xu's father finally brought it up and asked her how she was going to solve her lifelong problem.

Xu Yanfang started thinking about finding a son-in-law.

But then he thought of something and changed his mind and said that he might as well use the cocktail party as an opportunity for a blind date.

Father Xu thought about it and agreed.

Then young talents with similar family backgrounds came. After all, even if there was no special relationship, it was nice to come and have a look.

Among those who came was Xie Kaijun who came to join in the fun.

He came with a friend at that time, and his friend told him how beautiful and capable Xu Yanfang was. Anyway, they were both unmarried, and they were both handsome and beautiful. If they fell in love with each other, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?

Xie Kaijun couldn't resist his friend, so he followed to watch the fun.

And then, just as his friend said, he and Xu Yanfang fell in love with each other.

The two fell in love quickly after they met and couldn't stop.

The Xie family wanted to stop it, but then they thought that Xu Yanfang was capable and would be a good match for their son, so they did not stop it.

After marrying Xie Kaijun, Xu Yanfang realized that wealthy families were indeed different.

First, she was bullied by her peers, who mocked her for not having a family background as good as the Xie family and for marrying above her station. Then, they said that she only knew how to work and didn't know how to dress herself up, and it would be embarrassing to take her out.

Xie Kaijun had not yet come to power at that time, and every time he had a conflict with his brothers, he was the one who was suppressed.

Xu Yanfang naturally disagreed. They were all the same sons, so why should others be treated preferentially?

Xu Yanfang persuaded Xie Kaijun to join the company and gave him advice behind the scenes, making him a big shot in front of his father.

Later, when fighting for the right of inheritance, Xu Yanfang offered him advice and suggestions, which helped Xie Kaijun win successfully.

It was not known whether it was because Xu Yanfang was too smart and capable that Xie Kaijun gradually developed a fear of her, and thus, problems soon arose in the relationship between him and Xu Yanfang.

Xu Yanfang also didn't expect that Xie Kaijun would have a mistress behind her back and even have an illegitimate child.

At that time, she had already given birth to two sons and a daughter for Xie Kaijun.

Ten years is enough to see a person clearly.

So, when this matter got out, everyone thought she would make a big fuss and even divorce Xie Kaijun.

But what people didn't expect was that she didn't do that. Instead, she turned around and raised her own children and helped her mother's family.

She had helped the Xu family before, but she never thought about helping them move up the social ladder.

She was worried that her brother couldn't hold on.

But now she doesn't think so. If her brother can't hold on, there is still the next generation. She is only in her forties and still young. It's not too late to train a successor.

So she carefully raised her own children and her nephew from her mother's side. Her efforts paid off and she saw results in just a few years.

Xu Yanfang let her eldest son join the company, and gradually undermined Xie Kaijun's power, making him a figurehead.

After Xie Kaijun found out, he angrily scolded Xu Yanfang for usurping the party and seizing power.

Xu Yanfang disdained to argue with him, but instead used practical actions to prove that if he dared to cheat on her and humiliate her, she would cut off his funds.

The Xie family was already dissatisfied with Xie Kaijun at that time, and Xu Yanfang's actions were not only not suppressed, but were also strongly supported by her parents-in-law.

Later, due to Xu Yanfang's extraordinary methods, Xie Kaijun realized that he was no match for her at all, and had to admit his mistake to Xu Yanfang, but she was disdainful.

No matter how much emotion there was, it has all been worn away.

Later, gradually, all the power of the Xie family was concentrated in Xu Yanfang's hands. She surpassed her husband and children and became the head of the Xie family.

By the time the Xie family discovered it, it was too late, so they could only make the best of it.

What comforted them was that although Xu Yanfang was in charge, she was much better than Xie Kaijun.

Besides, her children are also descendants of the Xie family. When she retires, the Xie family will eventually be handed back to the hands of the Xie family.

So I stopped worrying about it.

Xie Kaijun was completely isolated and could only live on dividends.

He regretted it at that time, but it was too late.

Even so, Xie Kaijun passed away at the age of 52.

Xu Yanfang is now extremely popular and everyone who sees her calls her Director Xu.

Only in the Xie family would they call her Old Madam Xie.

The eldest grandson was also a rare talent among his grandchildren, but unfortunately, there was Xie Qingran. Although Xie Qingran did not compete with him, he also invisibly overshadowed his brilliance.

Even Xie Qingran's current company is her own and has nothing to do with the Xie family. The only connection is probably that it has the Xie's sign in its name.

Of course outsiders don’t know.

Today is Xu Yanfang’s 60th birthday. Not many people came, but they were all big shots.

The person in charge of the reception was Xu Yanfang's eldest grandson Xie Yan.

At eight o'clock, the birthday banquet officially began.

Those who gave gifts gave gifts, and those who said blessings also sang loudly.

The whole hall was bustling with activity.

Xu Yanfang is well maintained and doesn't look like a sixty-year-old at all.

She watched the lively scene, grinning from ear to ear. Who says women are inferior to men?

Nowadays, how many men can be found who can turn the tide in the face of adversity like her?

Everyone sees her current glory, but who knows the hardships she went through in the past? She even nearly lost her life.

Children, grandchildren and friends all came to celebrate the birthday, but sharp-eyed people noticed that Xie Qingran was not there.

Those who knew about it immediately felt something strange in their hearts.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, a woman suddenly stood up, walked over to Xu Yanfang, and said, "Grandma, it's your birthday, and we're all here, but why isn't Xie Qingran here? How busy is she? She wasn't even here for your birthday party."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Xu Yanfang's smiling face fell. The woman thought she was right, so she continued, "Grandma, if you ask me, Xie Qingran is just ungrateful. You are the head of the Xie family, and she didn't even come to celebrate your birthday. She doesn't take you seriously. You should use this as a lesson to teach her a lesson and let her know who is the head of the family."

Xu Yanfang's face darkened completely. Without saying anything to the woman, she shouted, "Third Brother, take good care of your daughter. If anything happens, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The third son of the Xie family didn't dare to refute, and immediately nodded and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely discipline him strictly."

The woman wanted to say something, but was glared at by Xie Laosan, and then she sat back in her original seat in frustration.

But at this moment, a light laugh made everyone tense up, and the timid ones even trembled.

It’s her, Xie Qingran is here!!

Following the sound, I saw Xie Qingran wearing a well-tailored women's suit, her slightly curly hair tied in a high ponytail, and a smile on her delicate face.

Her red lips parted slightly: "Why? Do you three have any objections to me?"

Xie Laosan swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "No... no, I didn't, I really didn't. It's... it's your cousin who is talking nonsense, you... you don't take it seriously."

Xie Qingran tilted her head slightly and looked at the woman: "Cousin, is that so?"

The woman was so frightened that she nodded randomly.

Xie Qingran didn't say anything else, but just walked towards Xu Yanfang, followed by two black-clad bodyguards holding boxes.
