Chapter 9 — Father Wants to Divide His Estate, But the Whole Group Is in My Name

There was a glimpse of admiration in her eyes.

"I'll go make arrangements now."

Exactly six o'clock in the afternoon. The official account of Tham Thi Group posted a statement. The tone is calm. Sentences in moderation. No emotions at all. Also don't criticize anyone. Simply the truth. Tham Thi Group was reformed from Tong Thi Construction Materials Factory. Current Chairman Tham Tri Du is the sole actual controller of the group, owning 100% of the shares. Currently, the group has only one Honorary Advisor (retired), who does not participate in operating and managing daily operations. All of the above information can be looked up and verified at the National Enterprise Credit Information Disclosure System. Sincerely informed. Just over eighty words. Not a single punctuation mark. I turned off the computer. I put my bag on my shoulder and said to Tan Tu.

"Go home early today."

"Why don't you wait for their article to be posted?"

"No need."

I walked towards the elevator. Since that statement was made public. This game... is no longer decided by Chu Uyen.

"You need to be impatient..."

I smiled.

"It's not me."

When we returned to the old villa, it was just after seven o'clock in the evening. In the living room, only my mother was sitting watching TV. The volume is turned on very low. A documentary is showing.

"Are you back?"

She raised her head to look at me.

"Where is dad tonight?"

"He went out this afternoon. He didn't say where he went."

I sat down next to my mother.

"Mom, I have something to say."

Tong Tung took the remote and turned off the TV and turned to look at me.

"Chu Uyen has reached out to the media. Maybe tonight there will be an article about her house published."

My mother's expression didn't change at all. Even if just a little. She just said "Yes" softly. Then calmly ask:

"Are you done with it?"

"Done."

"Okay then."

She turned the TV back on. Conveniently increase the volume a little more. I quietly looked at my mother's profile. The skin is still very carefully cared for. Exquisite makeup. The hair is well-groomed without a single strand of tangle. Fifty-two years old. But Tong Tung only looked like he was in his forties. That year, when she married Tham Quoc Luong, she was one of the most prestigious ladies in the city. Grandfather's only daughter. Since childhood, she has been cherished like a princess. What happens later? Later, her husband raised another woman outside. She alone took care of the whole family. For two years, my grandfather was seriously ill, and she took care of her father and supported the whole company. And what was Tham Quoc Luong doing at that time? He was going with Chu Uyen to Sanya to escape the cold. Those things... My mother never complained to me even once. Not even a word. She just quietly lived her life. Quietly standing behind me. Wait for me to grow up. Wait for me to be strong enough. Waiting for the day... I can demand justice on your behalf.

"Let's go get our hair done tomorrow."

She turned to look at me. In his normally calm eyes, there was suddenly a ray of warmth. Fifteen minutes past eight. The other article was posted on time. The title certainly knows how to hook.

"Rich incident! Daughter monopolizes the family's property, drives her biological father out of the house, forcing her younger half-brother to wander the streets."

I lay on the bed, scrolling through my phone, quietly observing each change in the comments section. The first half hour... The air was almost tilted to one side.

"What a cruel girl So? Even my biological father chased me away?

"Rich people are truly heartless, even their relatives don't recognize them."

"The younger brother is also pitiful. No one has the right to choose themselves as their own child."

That's a very normal reaction. When you only hear one side of the story... Everyone is easily led. Forty minutes later... The wind direction began to change. Someone posted a photo of business information right below the comments section.

"Wait, I just looked it up. Tham Thi Group is 100% owned by her daughter? Is the father just an 'Honorary Advisor'?"

"That means... she got her own property back, not her father's?"

"Really funny. Isn't Honorary Advisor just a title for retirees? Obviously this is the daughter's company."

Right after that... Someone found the statement the corporation posted in the afternoon.

"The official statement is here. Everyone should read it for themselves."

The comments section immediately exploded.

"So it turns out the whole article was a fabrication?"

"A retired old man who can't hold a single share tells his daughter to rob his fortune? May I ask where your estate is?"

"I'm dying of laughter. The stepson's monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, and the older sister owns the entire corporation alone. But still blame her for not allowing her to accept her ancestors? Even if you accept it, you won't get anything to share?"

"This dad's facial skin is probably made of steel."
