Since Zhu Yan's death, Zhu Fan has become weak and submissive under Nan Shan's influence. Old Master Zhu has also grown disappointed in this granddaughter. 0
 
After school, Zhu Wan grabbed my arm. "Sister, can Nan Group's dividends this year reach five million?" 0
 
I coldly replied, "No." 0
 
Zhu Wan persisted, "I don't have as much money as you do. You could cover this amount. It would also benefit Nan Group's reputation, wouldn't it?" 0
 
If it were the old Zhu Fan, she might have agreed after her relentless pleading. But I am not that Zhu Fan anymore. I shook off her hand and said firmly, "You can't possibly be short of five million, can you? Miss Nan." 0
 
Zhu Wan loved being called that by others, relishing her role as the fake young lady. Hearing my sarcasm made her face flush with anger. 0
 
I walked out of the school gate and spotted the car waiting for me. The driver didn't move when he saw me; he only opened the door after I knocked on the window. Once inside, he didn't start the car either, clearly waiting for Zhu Wan. 0
 
I figured I might as well take this opportunity to learn more about the world, so I waited. I pulled out my phone and studied Criminal Law. 0
 
An hour later, Zhu Wan finally sauntered out. The driver immediately drove up to her, eagerly opening the door and greeting her with a forced smile, "Good day, Miss." 0
 
My temper flared at the preferential treatment. Different standards? Who do you think pays your salary? 0
 
Just as the driver was about to start the car, I suddenly opened the door and got out. 0
 
 
I knocked on the driver's window. 0
"You, get out." 0
The driver looked confused and didn’t move. 0
Fine, I'll make you get out. 0
I opened the driver's door and yanked him out. 0
The driver was caught off guard; he probably didn't expect a girl to have such strength. 0
With one hand, I tossed him against a tree about a meter away. 0
I looked down at him and pulled out a wad of cash from my uniform, throwing it onto him. 0
"You’re fired." 0
After saying that, I ignored Zhu Wan's expression and jumped into the driver's seat, speeding off home. 0
Zhu Wan got out and started to vomit uncontrollably. 0
Not long after, Nan Shan called me to the study. 0
Zhu Wan was there too, unable to hide the sarcasm in her eyes. 0
Before I could say anything, Nan Shan began to scold me. 0
When he finally stopped, I sniffled and said, 0
"I was being harassed; doesn’t my father expect me to fight back?" 0
Nan Shan frowned and glanced at Zhu Wan. 0
Zhu Wan began her performance: 0
"Sister, how can you accuse Uncle Li? I was in the car too." 0
"How would you know what happened before I got in the car when you came out so late?" 0
I wiped my tears away. 0
Nan Shan raised his voice: 0
"Enough! No matter what, the fact remains that you were driving without a license!" 0
That’s just how Nan Shan was; right or wrong, he only scolded Zhu Fan. 0
I had driven tanks before; a small car was nothing. 0
I didn’t argue further and murmured: 0
 
 
"That won't happen again." 0
 
After being scolded for a while, Nan Shan finally let me leave. 0
 
Once outside, Zhu Wan shot me a mocking glance. I ignored her and turned back into the room. 0
 
Great, trouble never comes alone. 0
 
Before long, the police showed up, having received reports that I had assaulted someone and was driving without a license. I was taken to the police station, where the driver was also present. 0
 
I glanced at the driver. 0
 
The officer asked him, "Is it her?" 0
 
"Yes, that's her!" 0
 
"I was acting in self-defense! Officer, he harassed me," I said sadly. 0
 
Fortunately, I had seen the self-defense regulations earlier that afternoon; otherwise, it would have been hard to explain. The police reviewed the surveillance footage, but they couldn't see what happened inside the car, so they were at a loss. 0
 
In the end, I was only reprimanded for driving without a license. The officer said that since I had just turned eighteen, I needed someone to vouch for me to be released. 0
 
I thought: ... 0
 
Zhu Fan had no family or friends; who would vouch for me? 0
 
Just then, a familiar face walked in, and I recognized him immediately—Qin Lang! 0
 
He was an old family friend of Zhu Fan's maternal side and five years older than me. 0
 
Without hesitation, I exclaimed, "Brother Qin Lang!" 0
 
Qin Lang frowned and looked at me. 0
 
I stepped closer to him and said, "Brother Qin Lang, I'm Old Zhu's granddaughter!" 0
 
I tugged at his sleeve and blinked rapidly. 0
