My younger brother, in the name of love, refused the political marriage I arranged. Relying on me to always clean up his messes, he boldly claimed he would give up everything to be with his lover. I sneered and threw a waiver of inheritance rights at him: "Don't think the family can't survive without you just because you're a man." "From now on, I am the master of the Gu family!" Chapter 1 My brother, for the sake of love, rejected the blind date I arranged. He hugged a small-time celebrity in front of the camera, ranting about how I was a feudal matriarch, standing in the way of true love. He even declared through the lens that he would give up his inheritance rights to fly away with his beloved. In the living room of the Gu mansion, the TV broadcasted my brother's interview. My father, sitting on the sofa, was furious. I knelt on the floor, my lowered eyes hiding any emotion. Hearing Lucas say he would give up his inheritance, my father smashed the cup in his hand in rage. Seeing me unmoved, he slapped me across the face: "Useless thing! What kind of sister are you!" "It's all because you didn't discipline your brother properly that he got seduced by some starlet!" My hands by my sides slowly clenched into fists, sharp nails digging into my palms, almost drawing blood. The butler beside us looked pained and wanted to step forward to persuade my father, but I stopped him with a glance. My father was in a fit of rage, speaking without thinking: "Go tell that brat! If he doesn't come back today, he never needs to come back!" "Don't even think about getting the Gu family inheritance!" After speaking, he glared at me fiercely, then got up and let the maid help him leave. Seeing my father go upstairs, the butler immediately helped me up and brought out the ointment prepared in advance to treat my wound. Enduring the pain, I took out my phone and ordered my assistant to prepare documents and pick me up at the mansion. This beating wasn't for nothing. I endured this father-son duo for twenty years just for this opportunity. After sending the message, I whispered instructions to the butler: "Continue drugging the old man, but remember not to alert him." The butler nodded and handed me the car keys. Because he was the only son, Lucas was spoiled by my father since childhood. Whenever he caused trouble, I was the one to clean it up. So when he saw me, he was still sitting with his legs crossed, smoking, and sneering: "I told you, if you make me marry someone I don't want, I'll ruin your plans. Are you satisfied now?" The dim lights in the bar hid the flash of mockery in my eyes. I touched my slightly swollen cheek, a smile rising at the corner of my mouth. Then, I picked up the red wine on the table and splashed it on his face, following up with several hard slaps: "Is this how you talk to your sister? Asking for a beating, aren't you!" Seeing me strike him, he was stunned for a moment, then covered his face and cursed loudly: "Scarlett, are you f*cking crazy? Believe it or not, I'll tell Dad!" I sneered and took a step back, giving a look to the bodyguards behind me. They understood immediately. They grabbed Lucas by his hair and dragged him out of the booth. The bar owner was a friend of mine and had already opened a private room for us. I took a call at the door of the private room, then walked in with a smile. The bodyguards dragged Lucas in and threw him on the floor like trash. Dressed in a suit, I sat on the sofa with my legs crossed, looking down at Lucas. Lucas grimaced from the fall, but as soon as he got up, he started cursing: "You f*cking..." The bodyguard was quick and slapped him immediately: "Watch how you speak to the Young Miss! Unmannered thing!" Lucas, weak from too much partying, was slapped to the floor and couldn't recover for a while. Seeing his wretched state, half the grievance of being bullied in the past disappeared. Watching him struggle to get up, I rose gracefully, picked up the document on the table, and threw it in his face: "Father said your refusal to marry caused the Gu family a huge loss." "Now he's granting your wish. Get out of the Gu family." Lucas's eyes widened: "Scarlett Gu, who are you trying to fool?" Saying that, he immediately took out his phone and dialed our father. Smiling, I listened to the busy tone on his phone, then deigned to speak: "Looks like Father blocked you." "Bullying classmates in middle school, hitting teachers in high school, failing classes and chasing girls abroad." "And now refusing a marriage alliance. Father sees no hope in you and has completely given up." "So, do you think it's appropriate for you to still shamelessly cling to the Gu family?" Lucas had been spoiled since childhood. No one except our father dared to speak harshly to him. Especially being humiliated by me, whom he always looked down on, he exploded like a firecracker. He snatched the document, signed his name furiously, and stormed out of the private room, shouting threats as he went: "I tell you, Scarlett, wait until I make something of myself, then I'll come back and slap your face hard!" I smiled but didn't rush to retort. The bodyguard handed me the document from the floor. I checked it carefully and nodded in satisfaction. It was a statement giving up inheritance rights. Lucas had signed his name on the back. Although it lacked legal effect because it wasn't notarized, As long as Lucas signed it, I had the means to ensure he wouldn't get a penny. Chapter 2 Lucas didn't return all night, which infuriated my father. According to the maid, he had to take quite a few blood pressure pills to barely fall asleep. At the breakfast table the next day, I calmly reported Lucas's actions to my father. As expected, my father was furious: "You can't even handle such a small thing, what use are you!" "It must be your incompetence as a sister that made my son so rebellious!" After speaking, he raised his hand, ready to strike me. I said without even lifting my eyes: "I have to go to the Song family this morning for the marriage alliance. If you hit me, I won't be presentable." My father glared, his raised hand pausing in mid-air for a while before slowly lowering. The Song family was equal to the Gu family. Since Lucas broke the engagement first, the Gu family definitely had to apologize. But he considered himself a man of standing, unable to lower himself to apologize, and unwilling to let his precious son do it. So only I could represent the family and go to the Song house to apologize. I watched his indignant look, a trace of mockery flashing in my eyes, but continued eating calmly. I had endured this old thing for a long time. Beaten by him since childhood, yet having to pretend to be a harmonious family outside. Truly disgusting. But it's different now. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be dead soon. After eating, I took the Gu family's luxury car to the Song mansion. The Songs were old friends of my maternal grandfather, so they treated me very well. Even with Lucas fleeing the marriage this time, the Song parents didn't seem too angry and received me warmly. My best friend Mia Song took me to her room. Seeing the slap mark still on my face, she was distressed: "Why did your dad hit you again? Why don't you stop staying there and come to our house?" I patted her hand comfortingly: "I'm fine." "I've endured in the Gu family for over twenty years. If I leave now, I'm giving up completely." Mia sighed deeply: "Why is your life so bitter? Meeting a terrible father wasn't enough, you had to have a terrible brother too." Hearing this, the light in my eyes dimmed instantly as I sat on the bed. My mother was a cheerful rich young lady, but she fell in love with my father, a phoenix man with nothing but good looks. In an era where TV dramas praised breaking family shackles for love, my mother ignored my grandfather's objections and married for love. Who knew that when my father's business grew bigger relying on his father-in-law, and my grandfather passed away unexpectedly, My father finally tore off his mask of hypocrisy and began frequently abusing my mother. And I, born first, became a target of his domestic violence because of his preference for sons. My cowardly mother was secretly happy that I could "share the fire" for her. She even helped my father when he beat me, punishing me together. My mother died of dystocia after giving birth to Lucas, and I completely became the punching bag for the Gu father and son. I wasn't my mother, spoiled by my grandfather. So since I could remember, I endured in the Gu family, just to one day hold the Gu family completely in my hands, And let Lucas and that old thing die without a burial place. Fortunately, the plan is about to be completed, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the concerned Mia in front of me, I still felt a little guilty. After all, this escaped marriage made the Song family a joke among all the wealthy families in Hai City. I took Mia's hand and said sincerely: "I still want to apologize to you. I caused such a big impact on your and your family's reputation." Mia patted my arm and comforted: "It's okay. I know this is your plan. Helping you is what I should do." Chapter 3 When I returned to the Gu house, my father was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper early, with his newly recruited life secretary standing beside him. The secretary was young, beautiful, and had a good figure, looking at my white-haired father with spring in her eyes. Seeing this May-December romance, I was used to it and walked to my father's side to await orders. Seeing me, my father put down the newspaper, drinking tea while saying: "Lucas wants to start a business recently. Although he said he doesn't need the Gu family's help, you should keep an eye on him." "Young people's enthusiasm shouldn't be dampened. Invest some money in him secretly, don't let him fail." I nodded, unable to hide the contempt in my eyes. When I started my business back then, not only did I not get a penny, but I also received my father's merciless ridicule. He said women have no talent in business and should stay home to teach children and support their husbands. When my business failed due to lack of experience, he was full of sarcasm. He even called me stupid as a pig in front of half the celebrities in Hai City at a banquet, saying I couldn't even do such a small thing well. Completely forgetting that without my grandfather's funding, he would have failed just like me. Now that his precious son wants to start a business, he changed his tune, eagerly sending money out. He lowered his head, naturally not noticing the contempt on my face, and waved his hand to dismiss me. The little secretary beside him saw his attitude towards me and also changed her previous respectful attitude. Her look at me also carried a hint of disdain. My face remained unchanged as I greeted them and went upstairs to rest. I knew what my father meant. He wanted me to open a company directly for Lucas, letting Lucas "move in with his bags". To the outside world, we would say Lucas was young and promising, doing well in his independent business. But how could I grant his wish? The next morning, I went to the company with a fake smile. The first thing I did was ask my assistant to notify the senior management of a meeting. My father had no business mind. After my mother died, I basically grew up in the company. My father simply handed over the management rights to me, but firmly held the equity in his own hands. As long as the company's turnover didn't satisfy him, I would be beaten when I got home. But I wasn't sitting idly by. Over the years, I had already figured out how the Gu family operated. Important positions were also filled with my trusted aides. Taking this opportunity to help Lucas open a company, I could also eliminate dissidents in the company. The senior executives came to the meeting room confused, but looked at each other because of the news I brought. I had already drawn up the personnel to be assigned, and their positions and salaries were a grade higher than in the Gu Group. On the surface, I was promoting them and giving them better treatment. Moreover, as the heir to the Gu Group tacitly approved by my father, going to Lucas's company would also allow them to build a good relationship with the "crown prince" in advance. But in reality, only I knew that Lucas's company wouldn't last two years. At most two years later, I would completely take over the Gu family. By then, I would give them a severance package and send them away. At this time, the Gu Group's headquarters would be full of my trusted aides, making it easier for me to manage. Lucas clamored for two days about starting his own business. In the end, after picking and choosing, he didn't even know how to select a company address. Because he didn't bring a single card when he ran away from home, he could only live in his girlfriend's house all day. That small-time celebrity thought she had finally hooked a rich man and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Who knew the other party was a young master with no ability and a bad temper. She couldn't hit him or scold him, and had to serve him carefully. Over time, she also became irritable and restless. So when I contacted her, she was extremely enthusiastic and agreed to my request immediately. I asked her to pretend that this company was opened by her, as long as Lucas went to work. Anyway, Lucas, this young master, had never been in contact with family affairs, and hadn't even met those senior executives. The celebrity knew Lucas and I had fallen out, assuming I was too embarrassed to say it myself. Moreover, by borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, she could make Lucas love her more. On the day she accepted the task, she took Lucas to the new company. I knew I couldn't hide it for long. After all, those executives wanted to curry favor with Lucas. They would definitely reveal their identities to show their loyalty. The secretary I arranged by Lucas's side reported to me the day after he went to the company. Saying Lucas knew this was a team split from the headquarters, but still remained silent. I laughed secretly in my heart. Of course he would remain silent. After all, he knew that with his ability, he couldn't afford to open a company at all. So he could only bow his head and submit, enjoying the basic convenience brought by his father's generation. Chapter 4 Days passed extremely fast. Lucas's company looked thriving. Meanwhile, my father continued to be lovey-dovey with his life secretary, their stickiness disgusting to behold. The butler was secretly anxious, signaling me several times to speed up my move. After all, for every day my father lived, the possibility of my brother becoming the heir increased. Then my more than ten years of effort would be wasted. However, I remained unmoved by the butler's urging, only watching a relationship blogger's livestream every night. Until that familiar voice appeared in the livestream. Only then did I breathe a long sigh of relief, smiling as I pressed the screen record button. The relationship blogger in the livestream was carefully selected by me. She specialized in guiding good-looking girls from humble backgrounds on how to dig gold from sugar daddies. Because of her excellent professional level, she was somewhat famous in the industry. And the little secretary beside my father, from an ordinary family and a non-prestigious university but who skyrocketed to success, would definitely consult her when she was at a loss. As long as she consulted, half of my plan was achieved. In the livestream, that little secretary indeed explained the Gu family's situation in detail. "Hello anchor, I am currently the life secretary of a big boss." "My family background isn't very good, and my education isn't high, but I'm very good-looking, so the boss likes me very much." "It's been half a year now, and he has spent two million on me." "But I'm still not quite satisfied, because he is too old. I'm afraid he'll die before I get enough." "He has a pair of children. The daughter manages the company but has no equity. The son is the undoubted heir for the future." "Do you think I should try to trick the old man into marriage to become the stepmother, or go seduce his son?" Watching the increasing comments under the livestream, the corners of my mouth tilted up slightly, listening carefully to the blogger's analysis. The blogger advised her not to dream of seducing the young master, just serving the old one well would be enough. Who knew the little secretary wouldn't give up, continuing to ask: "What if I insist on seducing the young master?" "But I'm not as good-looking as his girlfriend. His girlfriend is a celebrity." Hearing gossip about a celebrity, the barrage instantly surged, everyone immediately guessing whose drama this was. The blogger still earnestly persuaded her, saying if she served the old one well, she could get at least twenty million. But if she went to seduce the young master, not only was the chance of success extremely small, but the outcome of failure would be miserable. The conversation between the two went back and forth. The man they discussed was like pork on a chopping board, weighed by the butcher, occasionally disdained for not exploding enough gold coins, wasting their precious youth. When the little secretary got off the mic, I stopped recording and leisurely sent the video to my best friend Mia. The Song family focused on the internet entertainment industry. Mia was the big boss of a well-known MCN in the country, with countless marketing accounts and funny bloggers under her. So spreading this kind of scandalous news was simply too easy. Mia first laughed loudly at the Gu father and son on WeChat. Then immediately distributed the recording to the marketing accounts and funny bloggers under her banner. She even instructed those few funny bloggers with tens of millions of fans across the net to make sure to film it well, the funnier the better. We were simply too good at doing this kind of wicked thing. I wasn't sitting idly by either, wearing a vest account to send the recording to the know-it-alls in our circle. Striving to make the matter as big as possible. It would take some time for the bloggers in the MCN to make videos. I took this opportunity to notify the butler to stop the medicine. Don't wait until the old thing gets angry and goes to the hospital, only to be found poisoned by the doctor.
