Qi Ning's tone revealed a hint of grievance and anxiety.

Qi Tongsheng felt even more heartache, thinking that Qi Ning lacked a sense of security.

After all, she used to be the only daughter who was loved by her parents at home. It's normal for her to feel sad when someone suddenly appears and shares that love with her.

Qi Tongsheng immediately blurted out, "Ningning, of course, I love you and your mother the most."

"That's good," Qi Ning replied.

She looked at Qi Tongsheng's face and softened her tone: "Dad, I was too impulsive today. I shouldn't have hit you. Does your face still hurt?"

Actually, Qi Tongsheng's face was still slightly stinging, but seeing his beloved daughter apologizing to him and caring about him so much, Qi Tongsheng felt that his obedient and sensible daughter had returned. He was too happy to feel any pain.

"Daddy isn't in pain, don't worry."

He turned his head to show Qi Ning: "Look, the swelling has gone down."

Just as the atmosphere was easing, Qi Tongsheng couldn't help but say one more thing to Qi Ning.

“Ningning, now that everything has been explained and Dad has given you the guarantee you wanted, let’s just let this matter go, okay? Don’t blame your Aunt Shen and your sister. We’ll continue to live together as a family, just like before.”

Qi Ning's face immediately fell again: "Dad, do you have to bring them up at this time? You really care about them, always thinking of speaking up for them."

Qi Tongsheng quickly said, "That's not what I meant, I just..."

"You don't need to explain. I can't completely blame them. I can only try not to make things difficult for them. You need to give me some time to slowly accept it."

Hearing Qi Ning's promise, Qi Tongsheng finally felt relieved.

If Qi Ning agreed too readily, or if she didn't blame Shen Yunhui and her daughter at all, then Qi Tongsheng would still have some suspicions that Qi Ning was planning something.

But he believed Qi Ning when she said that.

"Okay, I'll give you some time."

After this conversation, the father and daughter seemed to have cleared up their misunderstandings and restored their deep father-daughter relationship.

Qi Tongsheng felt relieved, even though the matter had been somewhat unpleasant. At least it was resolved, and he no longer needed to carefully hide it from Qi Ning.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and before Qi Tongsheng left, Qi Ning hugged him.

After seeing Qi Tongsheng off, Qi Ning smiled meaningfully.

She knew that even if Qi Tongsheng loved her and felt guilty, he would never agree to give her all the shares at once.

But it doesn't matter, Qi Ning has already secured 60% of it.

As for the remaining 40%, Qi Tongsheng said he would leave it to her in a will, but Qi Ning felt that this was not reliable.

Wills can be changed; there are too many variables.

Qi Ning needed to think of a way, either to get Qi Tongsheng to voluntarily give her the remaining shares in advance, or to prevent him from having the opportunity to change his will...

The next day, as agreed, Qi Tongsheng personally took Qi Ning out to see a lawyer to sign the share transfer agreement and make a will.

The father and daughter got into the car together.

Before leaving, Qi Tongsheng told Shen Yunhui and Qi Ruo that they were going out to take care of some things.

There's nothing wrong with what he said. Qi Tongsheng often took Qi Ning out to meet clients or attend social events.

After all, Qi Ning was Qi Tongsheng's heir, whom he had been grooming for many years, while Qi Ruo was just a "stepdaughter" who had only recently entered the Qi family.

Initially, Qi Tongsheng wanted to appoint Qi Ruo as a department manager, but Qi Ruo insisted on starting from the bottom. Qi Tongsheng praised her for her backbone and agreed.

Now, she is just an ordinary employee of the Qi Group.

She is certainly no match for Qi Ning.

After watching Qi Ning and Qi Tongsheng get into the car and leave, Qi Ruo looked at Shen Yunhui.

"Mom, have Dad and my sister made up? I saw them chatting and laughing when they left."

Shen Yunhui also looked away. She walked in from the door and replied, "That's right. Your father said last night that he had already explained things to your sister."

"Really? She doesn't blame us at all?"

“Your father said that it’s not that she doesn’t blame us, but this whole thing was too sudden for her, and he asked us to give her some time to slowly accept it.”

"I see. No wonder my sister ignored us this morning, but she wasn't as cold-faced as she was yesterday."

Qi Ning went with Qi Tongsheng to see a lawyer and signed a share transfer agreement. Qi Tongsheng also made a will.

That evening, Qi Tongsheng went to a drinking party, while Qi Ning was driven home first.

With the shareholding issue temporarily settled, Qi Ning was naturally in a good mood.

Even when she saw Qi Ruo at home, her mood was not affected.

Seeing this, Qi Ruo took the initiative to go to Qi Ning's side and start a conversation with her.

"elder sister."

Qi Ruo sat down next to her and called her name.

Qi Ning was leisurely leaning back on the sofa reading a magazine when she heard Qi Ruo's voice. She looked up and glanced at her: "What's up?"

"Sister, are you really not angry with me for hiding my identity?" Qi Ruo asked tentatively.

“Why would I blame you? Dad even said that it was unfair to you to let you enter the Qi family as a stepdaughter.”

"That's what Dad said?" Qi Ruo was pleasantly surprised.

“Yes.” Qi Ning tossed aside the magazine in her hand and looked at Qi Ruo with a smile. “However, I told Dad that although being a stepdaughter is unfair to you, it’s still better than being an illegitimate child. You should be happy, don’t you think?”

Qi Ruo's expression froze.

She didn't respond to Qi Ning's words, paused for a moment, and then changed the subject.

"My sister seems to be in a good mood today. Did something happy happen?"

"you guessed right."

Qi Ning's smile was particularly genuine. She specifically told Qi Ruo, "Today, Dad and I went to see a lawyer and he transferred 60% of his shares to me. He also made a will for the remaining 40%, which will all be mine from now on. How could I not be happy that Dad is so good to me?"

Qi Ruo was slightly taken aback: "W-what? So... Sister and Dad went out to see a lawyer today?"

"Yes."

Qi Ning glanced at the kitchen out of the corner of her eye, then stood up from the sofa, crossed her arms, and looked down at Qi Ruo.

"Didn't you find it strange that I didn't blame you and your daughter? Now you know why, right?"

“I am the person Dad loves the most. As for you two, since Dad wants to support you, then so be it. It won’t cost much anyway.”

Her tone was as if she were comparing Shen Yunhui and Qi Ruo to some kitten or puppy, describing them as "being raised".

After saying that, Qi Ning hummed a song and turned to go upstairs.

Shen Yunhui had just instructed the servants in the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for Qi Tongsheng to drink when he returned from the drinking party.

Unexpectedly, when she finished giving her instructions and was about to leave the kitchen, she overheard a conversation in the living room at the kitchen doorway.
