The tone suddenly became fierce and solemn, "Back then, Xiao Chonghuan and his wife wronged your father for stealing money and beat him to death right in front of everyone. If your father Xiao Changfu hadn't died... Nearly thirty years ago, your father was so clever and shrewd. He had a natural talent for business, and at a time when others could barely afford to eat, he already had over four thousand taels of silver. If he hadn't died, he would have long become a great businessman! With your father's abilities, he might have built an empire to rival the Xiao Family! Xiao Chonghuan and his wife owe your father a life; it's only right to pay it back with the Xiao Family's legacy! You must take the position of Master of the Xiao Family!"
Xiao Yuchuan, uncomfortable with her grip on his hand, withdrew it, "Even if it weren't for the reasons you mentioned, I would still swallow up the Xiao Family."
