Liu Yingying flatly refused!

The cosmetics company was her creation, built with countless efforts, and she would never give it up.

Back when their family was expelled from the Liu family, it was just the three of them, with little Keke still in swaddling clothes.

Those days were the toughest for them. Liu Chundong was hit hard and drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day.

He neglected the family, forcing her to work in a store to support the household with her meager earnings.

Later, when she wanted to start a business, she had no funds.

It was Liu Chundong who begged at the Liu family mansion for a whole day and night. The old master of the Liu family, fearing for his reputation, reluctantly gave Liu Chundong a hundred thousand yuan.

With that hundred thousand, Liu Yingying started by distributing cosmetics, gradually accumulating some capital, and eventually created her own brand.

That's how Mengsi Cosmetics Company came to be.

To Liu Yingying, Mengsi was like her child in her career, and she would never hand it over.

Although she took a hundred thousand yuan from the old master back then, over the years, she had subsidized the Liu family by millions annually.

What she owed had long been repaid.

Now, the other side was insatiable, targeting her company, and she would never agree.

At this moment, Liu Yuan frowned deeply. He knew that if Grandpa took back the cosmetics company, it would surely be handed over to him to manage.

Seeing Liu Yingying's lack of tact, he said, "Liu Yingying, that company was founded with Grandpa's money. Do you think you can just say no?"

"How dare you defy Grandpa?"

"The company belongs to our Liu family. Without us, you're nothing. How could you possibly own such a big company?"

With one sentence, Liu Yuan dismissed all of Liu Yingying's efforts.

In his eyes, Liu Yingying's achievements were only possible because of the Liu family, and it was only right for the Liu family to take back the company.

Such words were music to the old master's ears, and his previously furrowed brows relaxed.

"Exactly, the cosmetics company should be returned to the Liu family," Ding Xue chimed in.

"Liu Yuan, if you think I'll hand over the cosmetics company, think again!" Liu Yingying sneered again.

"Dad, the company was founded by Yingying. It's unreasonable for you to take it away with just one sentence!" Liu Chundong frowned and spoke to the old master.

Liu Chundong wasn't a fool. He knew that if the company was really handed over, their family of three would have nothing to rely on.

The old master sat high on the massive grand master's chair, with an emperor-like demeanor.

This grand master's chair was custom-made for the old master at Liu Yuan's suggestion, placed prominently in the main hall.

At every family meeting, the old master sat high above, with the Liu family's descendants standing below.

It greatly satisfied his sense of superiority.

He thus favored Liu Yuan more and planned to hand over Liu Yingying's company to Liu Yuan to manage.

In his eyes, Liu Yingying was just a girl and had brought shame to the Liu family.

He always believed that such a large company should be firmly in the hands of the Liu family's male heirs for him to feel at ease.

Firm in this belief, he turned to Liu Chundong and said, "Chundong, there's no need to say more. I've already decided."

"After the New Year, Yingying's company will be handed over to Xiaoyuan."

Liu Chundong's face turned extremely grim, and he hurriedly said, "Dad..."

"There's no need to say more!" The old master waved his hand, cutting off Liu Chundong.

Liu Yuan and his wife were overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely restore the glory of our Liu family."

The old master stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded, "Good, do well. The hope of our Liu family rests in your hands."

Although the Liu family still appeared to be one of the top ten families in Liancheng City, their business had long been in decline.

Liu Chunnan was originally a good-for-nothing playboy, and after taking over the Liu family's business from Liu Chundong, it had been losing money year after year. If not for the solid foundation left by Liu Chundong, the Liu family might have already fallen apart.

"Grandpa, I will definitely do well," Liu Yuan said, grinning from ear to ear.

"I will never hand over the company," Liu Yingying said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Liu Yingying's firm stance, Liu Yuan was instantly furious and shouted, "Liu Yingying, that is the Liu family's company. Are you going to defy Grandpa's words? Your whole family doesn't even respect Grandpa."

The old master was always very concerned about his authority in the family, and being pointed out by Liu Yuan like this, he couldn't maintain his composure.

In a deep voice, he said, "Chundong, you tell me, will you hand over the company?"

"Dad, that's Yingying's hard work!" Liu Chundong said with difficulty.

"Grandpa, if she refuses to hand over the company, then use the family law on that little bastard," Liu Yuan said viciously.

"After all, keeping her around will only bring shame to our Liu family."

Like other families, the Liu family also had many family retainers who were heavily invested in.

They completely obeyed the head of the family's orders. Besides protecting the family's safety, they were also an important force for the family head to control the family.

They had a special duty, which was to enforce family law.

Liu Yingying naturally knew about the Liu family's family law. Her face turned pale as she tightly held Keke and said, "Grandpa, you can't do this."

"Dad, don't listen to Liu Yuan's nonsense," Liu Chundong also pleaded anxiously.

The old master pondered for a moment and then said, "Yingying, if you don't want to hand over the company, then do as Xiaoyuan said."

Liu Chundong's words carried no weight in front of the old master.

Their family was far less important than a cosmetics company.

Now, in the old master's eyes, only Liu Yuan mattered. He firmly believed that only Liu Yuan and his father could continue the Liu family's legacy and bring it to glory.

At this moment, the entire hall fell silent.

Liu Yingying was now very conflicted. She didn't want to hand over the company she had painstakingly built for nothing.

But she also knew the harshness of the Liu family's family law. If she didn't agree, they would ruthlessly eliminate Keke.

After a long time, Liu Yingying compromised.

Keke was her precious treasure, worth more than any amount of money.

But at the same time, her last bit of affection for the Liu family was extinguished.

Calming down, she gritted her teeth and said, "I can hand over the cosmetics company, but from now on, I will sever all ties with the Liu family."

"From now on, I have nothing to do with your Liu family."

With that, she turned and left with Keke in her arms, feeling disgusted by everyone there.

She didn't want to stay for another moment.

The so-called Liu family was nothing but a group of emotionless, cannibalistic maggots.

Seeing this, Liu Chundong pulled Su Yumei and followed them out, without a trace of reluctance.

He didn't even say goodbye to the old master, showing how furious he was with the old master's decision.

Back then, even when he was stripped of his heir status, he had no complaints.

But the same tactics used on Yingying made him, as a father, despair at the Liu family's actions.

"Grandpa, you see, their whole family doesn't even respect you..."

Outside, Liu Chundong could still faintly hear Liu Yuan's instigating words from inside.

He remained silent, following Yingying as they left the Liu family mansion...
