"Don't Mess with My Billionaire Husband"

Chapter 7: Share Exchange

Leaf Lishi‘s face turned even paler. “Bo Yuan, look at her. I’m her elder, and she speaks to me so disrespectfully. If people knew that the eldest daughter of the An family was so ill-mannered, they wouldn’t know how to malign me behind my back.”

“Malign you? It’s just that you’re a bad stepmother. You really don’t need to worry about others maligning you. After all, not many people know there’s another eldest daughter of the An family. I really appreciate you still remembering that you gave birth to a daughter who isn’t the eldest of the An family,” An Zhisu said, becoming more provoking the angrier Leaf Lishi got.

“You!” Leaf Lishi gritted her teeth, nearly driven to the point of rage.

An Boguan, feeling a headache coming on, said with a slightly stern tone, “Enough. What’s all this shouting about? Zhisu, come upstairs with me.”

An Zhisu shrugged nonchalantly and walked toward the stairs, while the bodyguards automatically stepped aside. No one dared to block the eldest daughter now.

An Boguan turned and walked up the stairs first. An Zhisu followed at a leisurely pace. As she passed Leaf Lishi, she paused and smiled softly. “You’d better make sure your heart is fine. Today is just the beginning.”

With that, An Zhisu went upstairs.

Leaf Lishi's eyes were filled with anger, and she clenched her fists at her sides.

An Zhisu, just wait. Five years ago, you managed to get in once; five years later, you’ll manage to get in again!

On the second floor, in An Boguan’s study.

The father and daughter were in a standoff—one sitting, the other standing. An Zhisu clearly had no intention of making small talk; she didn’t even sit down. Without waiting for An Boguan to speak, she went straight to the point. “I want Suxuan.”

An Boguan’s brows furrowed. Suxuan was an independent qipao brand under the An Group, and it was the foundation of the An Group’s business. Back then, he and An Zhisu’s mother started with a small qipao shop. Her mother made the qipaos while he handled the market, and together they expanded Suxuan, eventually leading to the establishment of the An Group.

When An Zhisu was ten, her mother passed away, and he remarried Leaf Lishi. Without An Zhisu’s mother as the main creator, Suxuan gradually declined and now only retained the brand and one store.

“You’ve just returned from the hospital and need to rest. Stay at home for now and go back to work at the company once you’re feeling better,” An Boguan suggested, trying to be tactful.

“My health is none of your concern. I didn’t come here to negotiate with you; I came to negotiate,” An Zhisu said expressionlessly.

An Boguan’s brows furrowed further, and An Zhisu continued, “I have ten percent of the An Group’s shares. I’ll trade this ten percent of shares for the independence of the Suxuan brand. The ten percent of shares are yours, and from now on, Suxuan will belong solely to me, An Zhisu, and have no further connection with the An Group.”

“You want to trade your shares for Suxuan!” An Boguan was taken aback.

An Zhisu nodded and placed the agreement she had brought with her on his desk. “Here’s the agreement. I’ve had my lawyer draft it. Please review it and sign it if there are no issues.”

Seeing that she was well-prepared, An Boguan was even more shocked. “Zhisu, do you know the value of ten percent of the An Group’s shares? It’s enough to buy ten Suxuans.”

“Heh…” A trace of mockery appeared on An Zhisu’s otherwise emotionless face. “Is that so? But to me, Suxuan is priceless. My mother would have given her life to protect Suxuan. What’s ten percent of shares to me? Since you view Suxuan as nothing more than a stepping stone, then sell it to me. You said yourself that these shares could buy ten Suxuans.”

“No, Zhisu, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was…” An Boguan saw that An Zhisu had misunderstood him and hurriedly tried to explain.

“I don’t care what you meant. I only want Suxuan. If you don’t want it, I do. I’m not interested in the An Group’s shares. I only want the one thing my mother left me.” An Zhisu’s tone grew more serious, and her eyes reddened slightly.
