The legal representative and chairman. Everyone present understands what this means.

In other words, as long as Xiaofan signs here, from this moment under the notary of the lawyer, Xiaofan will become the owner of Ren Clan Enterprises.

Four families, a vast enterprise accumulated over decades. Is it too childish to hand it over to a kid who isn't even twenty years old?

Whether it's childish or not, only Xiaofan knows what Old Mrs. Ren is doing. She is merely using this matter to demonstrate the Ren Family's determination, having already decided to advance and retreat together with him.

Originally, Xiaofan had planned to start distancing himself from the Ren Family after today, but he didn't expect Old Mrs. Ren to go to such lengths for him.

The debt owed to the Ren Family is no longer as simple as a life or a debt of gratitude.

"Xiaofan, sign it..."

"Grandma, I can't sign this," Xiaofan slowly spoke, refusing.

"You shouldn't always feel that you owe the Ren Family something. A person's wealth is earned through hard work, so when the Ren Family is about to fall into decline, we want to make another effort through you. Even if we lose, Zhongtian won't blame us. At least he knows we all gave our last effort for the Ren Family.

Everyone has witnessed the amount of affection Old Mrs. Ren had for Ren Zhongtian. How deeply must one love another to do so much for them, even after they have passed away?

"Grandma, even though I know you are supporting me, I have never been involved in these kinds of things before. Suddenly being asked to manage such a large enterprise, I'm definitely not up to it." Xiaofan's words were not out of modesty; he genuinely had no experience in managing a business. Forcing someone unfamiliar with it is not the way to go about it.

"Here's another agreement. After you sign it, there's naturally someone to manage the enterprise for you. I've already had your seal certified by a lawyer, and for now, the seal will stay at the Ren Family. You can continue to do your things freely in the future," Old Mrs. Ren continued.

"Oh, so it's just for appearances. Then let Ren Ling sign it," Xiaofan said in confusion.

"No, according to Huaxia tradition, men are supposed to handle outside affairs, and women inside. For appearances outside, it must be a man so others won't think the Ren Family is easy to bully."

Faced with Old Mrs. Ren's insistence, Xiaofan really had no way to refuse. If it's just for appearances, then there's no problem.

Xiaofan did not expect that Old Mrs. Ren had even prepared his seal, clearly indicating she had planned to do this for a while.

The martial contest for the ownership ended with Xiaofan's strong performance. No one dared to accuse Xiaofan of winning by luck in the final battle. After all, not everyone could immobilize an opponent using the Willow Silk Needle. Especially being able to accurately hit acupuncture points under the rapid attack of the Tong Family Patriarch, Tong Ran, is a skill that cannot be mastered in just a few years.

The three families were convincingly defeated in this competition, and for the next few decades, they probably won't be able to surpass Xiaofan. The title of Ren Clan Enterprises will likely be hard to change, so the three family members could only wait quietly for their annual dividends.

After signing a series of agreements and contracts, Xiaofan did not return to the mansion with Old Mrs. Ren and the others. The threat from the Assassination Order continued, and Xiaofan didn't know when the assassins would appear again. There were some matters he had to handle first.

When he reopened his phone, it was filled with messages and missed calls from Liu Siyan and Chen Mei'Er and others.

Thinking about Liu Siyan, Xiaofan couldn't help feeling a tinge of bitterness in his heart. It's time to make a break.

But some words are hard to say. How is he supposed to tell her? Should he say he doesn't like her anymore and ask her not to seek him out in the future?

How could Xiaofan say something so resolute? But for their safety, Xiaofan had to painfully maintain a certain distance from them.

When he returned to his rented apartment, Xiaofan glanced around, suddenly feeling unusually powerless. Was he supposed to just sit here and wait for the assassins to arrive? But who knows when the assassins will be back? After dealing with one batch, who knows when the second batch will come?

'Ring, ring, ring.'

Suddenly, the phone rang. Looking at it, it was Liu Siyan's number again.

Should he answer it or not? She must be very worried, right? What a useless man, making a woman worry for him. Such a man is truly a bastard.

He flung the phone aside and lay on the sofa, closing his eyes tightly and taking deep breaths, unsure of how to deal with it all.

'Click.'

At that moment, the door opened. Besides Ren Ling, the only person with a key to his rented apartment was Chen Mei'Er.

Yes, it was Chen Mei'Er who had come. After learning from Li San that Xiaofan returned to his rented apartment, she rushed over immediately. Sure enough, she found him there.

In fact, Li San couldn't help it either; he didn't want to create too much trouble for Xiaofan, but having received too much favor from Chen Mei'Er, there were things he couldn't refuse. How things would turn out was up to Xiaofan to handle.

"Hey, you've really been on the go lately. It's been so hard to see you."

Tonight, Chen Mei'Er was dressed even more alluring and beautiful than usual. Her neat short hair framed her exquisite face. A black, off-the-shoulder tube top accentuated her curvaceous figure along with shorts that couldn't be any shorter. Her long, straight legs ended in white feet perched on ten-centimeter-high heels, with red nail polish adorning her toes, looking exceptionally enticing and seductive.

"Why do you keep coming to find me?" Xiaofan snorted coldly, not letting his gaze linger on Chen Mei'Er's alluring body.

"I..." Originally filled with joy to come and find this guy, she didn't expect to be met with a sour face as soon as they met.

"Go home and eat if you have nothing to do," Xiaofan added another order to leave.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? How did I, Chen Mei'Er, provoke you? I thought we hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I came to find you for a meal. That way, when my dad asks, I'd at least have an excuse," Chen Mei'Er said sulkily.

"Alright, just tell your dad straight up when you get home. I won't marry you. If you want my life, then come and get it. Don't seek me out anymore," Xiaofan said, pushing Chen Mei'Er towards the door.

"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, what's your problem? Even if you don't want to marry me, can't we at least be friends? What do you mean by this? Hey, hey..."

Compared with the Assassination Order, the threat from Chen Baicheng didn't put any pressure on him. After all, the reason he didn't want any more entanglement with Chen Mei'Er was not because he didn't fear Chen Baicheng anymore, but because he truly regarded Chen Mei'Er as a friend.

Then, just as Xiaofan pushed Chen Mei'Er to the door, another person climbed up the stairs. From a distance, Xiaofan immediately recognized her—none other than Liu Siyan.
