Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

Xu Ke had caused her to fall from her high position and even intended to kill her. And Wong Qifu hadn't forgotten to kick her while she was down…

In Wang Yu's heart, both of them deserved to die!

Seeing Wang Tianlu and Wang Yu coordinating their attack, the room fell silent. Even Wong Qifu said no more. The hearts of Xu Ke's supporters sank to the bottom of a ravine.

How can we deal with this? Are we really going to let Wong Qifu step down as Family Head?

At this moment, Zhan Yunning suddenly ran in front of Xu Ke.

"What is it?" Xu Ke's brow furrowed slightly.

Zhan Yunning took a deep breath. "Mister Xu, for Director Wang's sake, please admit you were wrong and leave the Wang Family!"

Wang Yu is stubbornly refusing to budge, and Wang Tianlu has blocked all paths of retreat! This is a complete stalemate; only Xu Ke's self-sacrifice can solve it.

Wang Wu's expression changed, and he snapped angrily, "Xiao Ning, do you have any idea what you're saying?!"

This is emotional blackmail!

Zhan Yunning ignored Wang Wu, looking directly at Xu Ke. "This all started because of you! Surely you don't want to see Director Wang's decade of hard work destroyed in an instant, do you?"

She believed that if Xu Ke just left the Wang Family, all their problems would be solved.

But Xu Ke simply looked at Zhan Yunning and let out a mocking laugh. "Qi Fu is fighting for me, so I should be the first to surrender?" he asked. "Forget it. I'm not leaving the Wang Family."

How could he possibly retreat now?

Zhan Yunning's expression immediately turned ugly, and she opened her mouth to say more. But Wang Wu gave Wong Gaoyang a pointed look, signaling him to pull Zhan Yunning aside. Although Wong Gaoyang agreed with her, he still shook his head, warning her to stay quiet.

This left Zhan Yunning no choice but to seethe in silence, her eyes fixed venomously on Xu Ke.

Seeing Wong Qifu's people beginning to turn on her, Wang Tianlu gradually regained his composure.

Everything is under control. I just need to wait for my victory.

After a long moment of silence, Wong Qifu stared at Wang Yu's lifeless body and suddenly smiled, her words laced with a threat.

"Auntie, I really didn't want it to come to this."

But Wang Yu remained motionless.

Wong Qifu has already taken everything from me. There's nothing she can use to threaten me now.

Wong Qifu continued as if talking to herself, "I remember three years ago, under the pretext of doing charity to accumulate good karma, you established the Wang Family Scholarship Project to support outstanding students. On that list was a boy named Pang Xin.

"At the time, he was a senior at Tianhai's Dong City District High School. He had excellent grades but came from a poor family. Fortunately, the scholarship allowed him to get into a first-rate university. He's an intern at the Wang Family Corporation now.

"I've even met him. I wonder if you still have any memory of him…"

Wong Qifu's voice was so soft that no one outside the room could hear her.

But Wang Yu, who had been completely still, suddenly began to tremble.

Wong Qifu went on, "I heard from Dad that your first love was a man named Pang Wei, who was arrested for hooliganism.

"After Pang Wei was released, Grandpa strictly forbade you from seeing him.

"So you had to break up and wait… wait for Grandpa to pass away. But you never expected that by the time Grandpa died, Pang Wei would also die of cancer. It was only then you learned that he'd had a son with another woman—Pang Xin.

"That woman abandoned Pang Xin at an orphanage and disappeared. Still carrying a torch for Pang Wei and feeling sorry for the boy, you started caring for him as if he were your own child.

"But because the Six Great Families are so dangerous, you knew that having Pang Xin around would make him an easy target for others to use as leverage against you. That's why you never dared to care for him openly.

"You were right to think that way."

At that, Wang Yu's eyes snapped open, and she glared at Wong Qifu with pure venom. "Wong Qifu, how can you be so cruel?!"

She never imagined that the secret she had guarded so deeply had long been discovered by Wong Qifu.

Wong Qifu continued, her tone as casual as if they were chatting about old times. But every word sent a chill through Wang Yu's entire body. "Pang Xin, the boy you treat as your own son.

"Losing a son doesn't feel very good, I imagine."

Wang Yu's face turned deathly pale, the strength draining from her body in an instant.

Wong Qifu said coolly, "Just this afternoon, I arranged for him to go on a business trip abroad.

"I hear he's in a foreign gift shop right now, picking out a present for you…

"Would you like to speak with him?"

Wang Yu instinctively shook her head, her voice trembling. "No, please don't."

"Qi Fu, Auntie is begging you!"

Her eyes were wide with shock, fear, panic, and a sliver of desperation.

She was scared. Truly and utterly terrified!

"Then get up. He'll be back in the country soon."

Wong Qifu turned and walked out of the emergency room. Nothing more needed to be said.

Her psychological defenses utterly crushed, Wang Yu stared blankly at the ceiling. After a long, stunned moment, she silently rose to her feet.

***

When a triumphant Wang Tianlu saw Wang Yu walk out behind Wong Qifu, his composed expression vanished completely.

Why? he roared furiously in his mind. I saw it myself—Wong Qifu didn't do anything, she just talked to her! And just like that, Wang Yu gets up? Was she bought off? How could this happen?! What in the world did Wong Qifu say to her?

As for Wang Tianlu's supporters, every single one of them looked as if they had just swallowed poison, their faces turning a ghastly shade of green. Seeing this, they knew the tide had turned against them.

Meanwhile, those who had just been clamoring to drive Xu Ke away were now trembling with fear and unease. Now that Xu Ke had truly turned the tables, would they face Wong Qifu's retaliation?

Zhan Yunning and Wong Gaoyang were shocked. They had never expected that Wong Qifu could actually get Wang Yu to stand up.

As for Wang Wu and Yang Shoukang, the former breathed a sigh of relief while the latter's attention was fixed on Wang Yu. Seeing her posture was perfectly normal, he beamed with pride.

I told them Doctor Xu's medical skills were miraculous, and they still didn't believe it!

When Wong Qifu walked past Xu Ke, he let out a soft sigh. Wang Tianlu was hard of hearing and missed it, but Xu Ke had heard everything inside the room loud and clear.

Meeting Xu Ke's gaze, Wong Qifu said nothing, but simply gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

Wang Yu spoke with great difficulty, "I was blinded by greed and have done the family a great wrong.

"Xu Ke was indeed treating me just now. I was the one who tried to frame him by deliberately refusing to get up.

"I'm sorry. I, Wang Yu, was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment the family sees fit."

At these words, Wang Tianlu's face turned livid. He turned and stormed away with a sharp flick of his sleeve.

Why stay here any longer? Just to be humiliated?

The other core members of his faction were filled with indignation. The very same people who had been demanding Xu Ke's expulsion were now cursing Wang Yu, kicking her while she was down.

Wong Gaoyang hastily stepped forward to lead Wang Yu away.

Core members of large families are involved in too many interests. Once they betray the family, the only option is house arrest, because no one can know how much harm they might cause if allowed to leave.

If Xu Ke had been involved in the internal affairs of the Wang Family Corporation, Wang Tianlu wouldn't have just tried to drive him away today. He would have considered placing him under house arrest or even killing him outright.

And so, Wang Yu, like Wong Liqing before her, would spend the rest of her life under house arrest in the Wang Family estate.
