Chapter 1667: Chapter 1510: Female-Dominated Society 4

Qi Gongshuangshuang lowered her eyelashes, hiding the coldness in her eyes, but agreed, "It certainly is a good diversion, Miao Zhen, you are thoughtful, let’s go then, I can’t wait any longer."

Qi Gongshuangshuang’s last words carried a deeper meaning, but unfortunately, Fang Miaozhen didn’t catch it. She was delighted, and stood up excitedly, saying, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s hurry up and go!"

The four people, Mei Lan Zhu Ju, who had been anxious since Fang Miaozhen came in, really wanted to curse Fang Miaozhen to death. Their young lady was just about to attend to serious business, but this person came to lure her away into mischief.

Seeing that Qi Gongshuangshuang was about to be led away by Fang Miaozhen, Ju Xin finally couldn’t hold back, hurriedly stepped forward, and stopped Qi Gongshuangshuang who was ready to leave.

He said anxiously, "Miss, we still have to inspect the business, you can’t go out now, those old shopkeepers are waiting for you."

Ju Xin was truly anxious, although those old shopkeepers were loyal to the Qi Guan Family, their loyalty was to Qi Gongshuangshuang’s mother. Although they wouldn’t bully or hide things from Qi Gongshuangshuang, it wouldn’t be good if they were dissatisfied.

Breaking promises is absolutely unacceptable; this point damages goodwill. The most important thing for businessmen is to honor their promises and be punctual, which is the foundation of doing business. Only by doing so can one build credibility and encourage collaboration.

However, Ju Xin knew that his young lady was quite capricious. Once a decision was made, it was impossible to change. She was mostly unlikely to listen to his advice.

Qi Gongshuangshuang looked at Ju Xin’s anxious face, chuckled lightly, looked at Fang Miaozhen who had already walked far ahead because of her pause, and leaned close to Ju Xin’s ear.

"Relax, Ju Xin, I know she is up to no good. Don’t worry, your young lady isn’t a fool. Keep tidying up here, I promise I’ll be back soon and won’t delay serious business."

The anxiety on Ju Xin’s face relaxed into doubt. Did the young lady really know that Fang Miaozhen wasn’t a good person?

Although Ju Xin had a heavy filter for their young lady, he couldn’t help but disbelieve Qi Gongshuangshuang’s assurance due to her past record being too poor.

By this time, Fang Miaozhen in front had already realized that Qi Gongshuangshuang hadn’t followed and was standing still, looking back at Qi Gongshuangshuang, and calling out doubtfully, "Shuangshuang, what are you doing? Hurry up and come!"

Qi Gongshuangshuang seeing Fang Miaozhen calling to her, smiled reassuringly at Ju Xin, and whispered, "You go be busy. You should have faith in your young lady."

Having said this, she strode towards Fang Miaozhen, leaving Ju Xin standing anxiously in place, worriedly watching the back of Qi Gongshuangshuang.

Along the way, Fang Miaozhen seemed extremely excited, constantly engaging Qi Gongshuangshuang in topics she was interested in, which were nothing but things concerning brothels and gambling dens.

Qi Gongshuangshuang replied with a faint smile, sometimes responding to Fang Miaozhen’s words, while thinking about when exactly Dong Xinxian appeared.

In the previous life, Qi Gongshuangshuang trusted Dong Xinxian completely at first, so she never suspected that Dong Xinxian’s background was fake, believing whatever was said to her.

Later, Qi Gongshuangshuang only wanted revenge and wasn’t interested in understanding Dong Xinxian’s background, only interested in seeing how miserable their end would be.

The result was that in this life, Qi Gongshuangshuang was very passive, only waiting for Dong Xinxian to come because she didn’t know where Dong Xinxian came from.

Moreover, in the previous life, although Qi Gongshuangshuang recovered from illness, she fled to a villa outside the city because she was chased by the old shopkeepers to inspect the business.

Thus in the previous life, Qi Gongshuangshuang didn’t encounter Fang Miaozhen coming to take her out to visit brothels and gamble, but even though she hadn’t encountered it, Qi Gongshuangshuang knew the other’s intent.

Because Fang Miaozhen had already sought Qi Gongshuangshuang to gamble several times, whenever Fang Miaozhen was short of money, she would come to Qi Gongshuangshuang for a game or two at the casino.

Every time, Qi Gongshuangshuang would first win then lose, always losing two or three thousand taels of silver before it ended, and this silver she lost would be split between Fang Miaozhen and the casino owner.

That’s right, Fang Miaozhen and the casino owner were partners, together scheming against the fat sheep Qi Gongshuangshuang.

Although the casino made money, Qi Gongshuangshuang was the only fat sheep who could lose a few thousand taels without batting an eye, so Fang Miaozhen and the casino owner cooperatively chose slow and steady tactics to slaughter the sheep.

The Fang Family’s business was far inferior to the Qi Guan Family, but it was still considerable, known as Half City Fang in Yun City, and the children naturally all coveted the family’s industries.

The other illegitimate daughters were out of the picture, even in a merchant family, they wouldn’t inherit the family business in the presence of legitimate daughters.

So the struggle for the Fang Family’s inheritance mainly concentrated between the two legitimate daughters, Fang Miaozhen and her older sister Fang Miaqing. Mrs. Fang had two main husbands, each with a daughter.

The eldest daughter, Fang Miaqing was born from the original spouse, while the second daughter, Fang Miaozhen, was born from the subsequent spouse, with naturally no feelings between siblings of different mothers.

Fang Miaqing was somewhat proud, cared about business ethics, not that she wouldn’t use tactics, but she despised despicable means.

Moreover, Fang Miaqing is ten years older than Fang Miaozhen, began managing the business early with her mother, and the shopkeepers and clerks of the Fang Family also recognized Fang Miaqing more.

The shops Fang Miaqing took over for external business were doing well, and collaborators recognized her, so it was essentially presumed that Fang Miaqing would be the next Family Head.

In terms of abilities, Fang Miaozhen really has no competition with Fang Miaqing, but Fang Miaozhen was unwilling to give up, constantly striving to compete with Fang Miaqing for the position of the next Family Head.

Although Fang Miaqing is recognized as the next Family Head candidate, she doesn’t dare to take her sister Fang Miaozhen lightly. The reason being, Fang Miaozhen is greatly favored by their mother.

Fang Miaozhen’s main reason for daring to compete for property with Fang Miaqing is that her father, as the subsequent spouse, was very favored, and as a result, Fang Miaozhen herself was also greatly favored.

The Fang Family Head’s attitude towards the elder daughter was purely business, strictly cultivating an heir without feelings. She and Fang Miaqing’s father had no feelings, only a marriage of interest, with indifferent feelings towards this daughter.

However, Fang Miaozhen’s father was the true love of Fang Miaozhen’s mother, who deeply loved this beloved child, therefore, Fang Miaozhen who was favored by her mother posed a considerable threat to Fang Miaqing.

To compete for the family assets with her sister, spending money is naturally inevitable. Fang Miaozhen, although favored by her mother, had a discerning family head.

She pampered the younger daughter, willing to spend money for her and plan for her, even preparing to allocate more industries to her so that the beloved younger daughter wouldn’t lack money in the future.

But Fang Miaozhen wanted more than that. No matter how much the mother allocated to her, could it compare to having the whole Fang Family? She wanted the Fang Family, not to be partitioned away.
