"It's pointless to dwell on this now. Let's see how the Quan family reacts. In any case, we didn't put those words in her mouth. She never wanted to return to the Xue family anyway. Perhaps it's best we issue a formal statement severing ties. We can't rely on her, and if anything, she's only going to hold us back. We're already short on capital; without a corporate guarantor, we can't get loans. If our funding dries up and the Quan family decides to target us, we’ll be driven into a dead end."
Xue Yihai frowned. This daughter was clearly a lost cause. With things escalated to this point and such words spoken publicly, they would have to be insane to keep her around. Besides, they had no emotional attachment to her whatsoever; they hadn't seen her in twenty years—what kind of bond could possibly exist?
"Fine, then issue the statement severing ties. Do it quickly. If the Quan family pins the blame on us, we'll be in a difficult position."
