Leaving the Ge family home, I was filled with anger and hurried home.

Just then, my dad hadn't gone to the company yet and was having a video conference with the company's management. I went straight into the study without knocking and, to his surprise, shut down the computer with one hand.

"Jiang Wanying!" My father immediately stood up angrily, his face full of rage, extremely dissatisfied with my actions.

He pointed his finger at my nose and said in a stern tone, "You're getting more and more rude! Can't you see I'm in a meeting? Who told you to come in without knocking and then shut down my computer!"

I looked up at him and listened to him without saying a word. After a long while, I asked, word by word, "Why are the company's accounting books out there? Hasn't Uncle Ge helped you enough over the years?"

Today's events have made me wonder if my dad did something behind the scenes, otherwise how would the inspection team have obtained our family's company accounts?

Although these ledgers might not be enough to bring Uncle Ge down, they could easily cause him trouble and damage his reputation.

After hearing my words, my dad's eyes flickered slightly, his brows furrowed, and he said with some displeasure, "So this is what you're after? The account book was out there, how could I possibly know? If your Uncle Ge gets arrested because of this, do you think I'll get anything out of it?"

The Jiang family had previously borrowed many projects in cooperation with the government, and these projects were all revealed by Uncle Ge unintentionally.

Our two families have always supported each other, and my father has benefited a lot from the Ge family over the years.

Of course, if my dad makes these projects look good, Uncle Ge's political achievements will also look good. And for some government-led charity projects, my dad is always the first to step up, not just because of Uncle Ge's influence.

"I don't know if Dad will get any benefits, but I know that the ledger is not something that ordinary people can access." As I spoke, I stared intently at my dad, trying to read something from his face.

But he quickly sat back down and slowly replied, "The ledgers certainly won't be out there, but this land project is a collaboration with the Fu family, so they're the only ones who have access to the company's ledgers. I only found out about it this morning."

"But don't worry, the Fu family said they will explain things to the public soon, and the inspection team won't keep pressing this matter."

I clenched my fists and suddenly realized that Fu Xinyi had been involved in this whole thing from beginning to end.

Fu Xinyi did all this to let me know that he could get the Ge family and the Jiang family into trouble, and he could also solve those troubles.

I was seething with anger and turned to leave when my father suddenly called my name. “I will be holding a banquet in a couple of days to announce that Jia Hui is my daughter. You will have to attend.”

I froze in my tracks, turning to look at him in disbelief. "Why?"

An illegitimate daughter actually dared to think of moving into the house, and once she acknowledged her identity in front of everyone, it would be a blatant slap in my mother's face.

There will definitely be many people watching and laughing at her, and once her identity is acknowledged, it means that she also has the same right to inherit.

"Have you forgotten that the reason you've been able to grow the Jiang family's company so big over the years isn't because of your own abilities, but because this company was left to me by my maternal grandparents, and because of Uncle Ge, you've been able to develop the company so quickly over the years."

When facing our Jiang family's company, all the competing companies in this city, big and small, only dare to use underhanded tactics in private, and dare not openly join forces to suppress the competition.

The most fundamental reason is that Uncle Ge is protecting us. With this reason, it's like having an insurance policy for our company.

"Now you want to acknowledge an illegitimate daughter as your wife. Aren't you afraid of what people will say about you?"

My dad's face instantly darkened, and he angrily told me that the Jiang family's company was successful today entirely due to his own efforts, and had nothing to do with my maternal grandparents.

Moreover, all of this was just to inform me that if I didn't attend, he would announce on the spot that all the shares he held would be given to Bian Jiahui, and in the end I would get nothing.

“Your mother also owns some shares, but don’t forget, I can make those shares worthless at any time.”

Seeing him like that, I felt like I had a shard of glass stuck in my throat, and the stinging sensation spread throughout my body.

I know he means what he says, and if I continue to stop him, he will only become more brazen.

I quickly calmed myself down and told him, "You can ask me to agree, but I have one condition: I want to start working at the company tomorrow."

My dad was initially hesitant, but seeing the expression on his face, I immediately said, "If you want to save face, you'd better agree to my terms, otherwise I can't guarantee what I might do on the day of the banquet."

My dad finally agreed to my condition, and I packed my things and went to the company early the next morning.

I must sort out all the account books, in case the inspection team continues to monitor the Ge family and cannot find evidence in the account books.

On my first day at the company, everyone was very polite to me, and I didn't encounter any difficult situations. However, when I asked to see the company's books, the finance department was a little hesitant.

“Ms. Jiang, it’s not that we don’t want you to see it, but the ledgers are indeed not in our hands. The Fu family wants to cooperate with our company, but before investing in the cooperation, they said they wanted to check our company’s financial situation, so they took all the ledgers from these years with them.”

I couldn't help but grit my teeth. Fu Xinyi really acted quickly. I didn't say much, but sent Fu Xinyi a message saying that I was going to find him right now.

Fu Xinyi replied quickly, saying that he would be coming over with the project team shortly to discuss the project's development, and asked me to wait for him at the company.

Half an hour later, he arrived with his project team. When he saw me, he pretended to be friendly and asked, "Did Wanwan keep you waiting long?"

His hand was about to rest on my shoulder when I slapped it away without hesitation. People around us immediately looked over curiously. Fu Xinyi's expression froze, and he forced a smile, saying, "Wanwan, be good!"
