After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.
Chapter 98 A Private Cover-Up
My dad's slap interrupted what I was about to say and shattered my last bit of hope.
I looked up at him, and he stared at me with a dark expression, panting heavily. "It's your mother who's petty and narrow-minded, not virtuous at all, and insists on taking her medicine!"
With one sentence, he shifted all the blame onto my mother, saying that all she had done for so many years was stay at home and be a rich housewife.
He couldn't help him commercially, and he didn't educate me, his daughter, well at home, causing me a lot of trouble and making a fool of myself.
"Get upstairs right now!" he yelled, pointing his finger at my nose. "If you don't obey, don't blame me for kicking you out of this house."
People around rushed over to persuade her, and Bian Jiahui also grabbed his arm, putting on a well-behaved look, "Dad, my sister definitely didn't do it on purpose. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened."
The sharp pain on my face gradually became numb. Watching these two people sing in unison, I felt increasingly ironic. "You've been putting on an act in front of my mother for so many years, playing the role of a good husband for so many years, and suddenly your image collapses. How big must my mother's heart be to tolerate you and your illegitimate daughter?"
"Don't forget, you only own 40% of the company's shares. Although you are now the CEO, my mother owns 45% of the shares."
I tore off this fig leaf in front of everyone, just in case my dad really finds a way to turn my mom's shares into worthless paper. If the people here today start gossiping behind my back, it will make him think twice.
My dad stared at me with a gloomy look in his eyes, a hint of disdain flashing across them, as if he had already expected me to say such a thing.
Bian Jiahui raised the corners of her lips, her smile growing even brighter. "Dad did only have 40% of the shares before, but recently he acquired shares from other directors, and now he has exactly 51%."
Fifty-one percent means that I have absolute control over the company. The remaining people combined only have forty-nine percent, which is no match for my father.
No wonder he was so confident. Even when I just tore off his fig leaf, he didn't seem angry. It turns out he had already made preparations.
"Wanwan, Dad is very disappointed in you." My dad looked at me and said, word by word, "I originally thought I would raise you well and eventually hand over the company to you, but now you are growing more and more crooked. You don't even care about the family's reputation and have no sense of the big picture at all."
After my dad finished speaking, he took Bian Jiahui's hand, patted it in his palm, and sighed softly, "Starting today, you will start your internship at the company and help me handle company affairs. I might feel more at ease handing the company over to you in the future."
After saying that, my dad told me not to go to the company for a while, and to stay home and prepare for the engagement banquet with the Fu family.
As a result, the internship opportunity I had worked so hard to secure fell into Bian Jiahui's hands.
Looking at the expression on her face, I felt extremely unwilling, but I didn't know a better way to deal with it.
The maids came up and took my arms on either side, preparing to lead me upstairs.
"Wait a moment!"
Just then, a weak voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw my mother slowly walking in, supported by a caregiver, her legs a little weak.
I quickly broke free from the maid's grasp and went forward to help my mother. "Why were you discharged from the hospital so suddenly? You're not fully recovered yet; you should rest and recuperate properly."
My mother saw me force a smile, but when she turned to face my father, her expression gradually turned cold. "I just heard you say you wanted to let this illegitimate daughter intern at the company? I don't agree to that!"
My mother has a gentle personality and has never experienced any setbacks growing up. After marrying my father, he has always maintained a good public image and taken good care of her.
So she was mostly compliant with my dad. Whenever my dad disciplined me, she felt sorry for him but didn't interrupt.
This was the first time I'd ever seen her directly refute my dad, saying, "I don't need to remind you how you got to where you are today; you probably already know in your heart how. Some of the people here have watched you get to where you are today."
As my mother spoke, her eyes began to redden, but she held back her tears. "You want to let this illegitimate daughter intern at the company? With my 45% stake, I certainly can't compete with you. But have you forgotten that I can also sell nearly 45% of my shares to the Lu family!"
In business circles, everyone knows that the Lu family and our family are mortal enemies.
Because the Lu family and the Jiang family have a lot of overlapping business interests, there is a great deal of competition for profits. Over the years, with the support of the Ge family, our Jiang family has basically never suffered a loss when facing the Lu family.
On several occasions, Lu Yuntian even had to give in to our family. Lu Yuntian had been unhappy with our family for a long time, and whenever he had the chance, he would try his best to cause trouble for our family.
Once the shares held by my mother fall into his hands, it's like the meat in my father's mouth has fallen into the mouth of another wolf, and we will be at a disadvantage in future market competition.
Others knew this, and my dad knew it even better. His face instantly darkened, and his expression became extremely unpleasant.
"What did you say? Mengru, you can't do this!" He walked over and grabbed my mother's arm. "What have I done to deserve this?"
My mother just gave a cold laugh; she didn't say anything, but everything was understood without her saying a word.
My father's face turned pale and then red. He held back for a while, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of others. "Everyone," he said, "I have some family matters to attend to. Today's banquet is over. We'll have a proper banquet for you all another day."
The maids were also busy preparing to see the guests off when my mother spoke up again to stop them, "Since everyone is here to attend the banquet, why don't you stand here as witnesses? Everything I just said was from the bottom of my heart. My husband, whom I have loved for many years, has betrayed me. I no longer expect him to be devoted to me. But what belongs to my daughter, I will absolutely not allow anyone to take away. Otherwise, I don't mind fighting to the death."
Seeing my mother's expression, I couldn't help but freeze in place. For the first time, a firm and sharp look appeared on her gentle face.
With so many people witnessing this, she has cornered my father. Now it remains to be seen whether my father wants the company or that illegitimate daughter.
