Yuan family.
As soon as Yuan Luochen stepped into the house, Old Master Yuan raised his hand and slapped him across the face. “Bastard! How dare you provoke the Lu family for a mere film company? Why are you so brainless!”
Even if Longmen Film and Television Company developed, it would only be worth tens of billions of dollars.
However, if they were to become enemies with the Lu family, their losses would be far greater than this.
Old Master Yuan knew that his son was competing with the Lu family.
However, legitimate competition was different from using dirty means to compete!
It was great now!
He had been slapped in the face by Jiang Yining and had even implicated the company’s reputation!
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was his biological son, he would have kicked him long ago!
Yuan Luochen knelt on the ground and said, “I was too impatient. 1 wanted to benefit my family…”
“Are you doing this for the family? Your actions were completely self-display, for your own selfish desires! How much effort did I put into whitewashing the Yuan family? It’s not that you don’t know, but you don’t care at all! Because you want to inherit the entire Yuan family, right?”
“Father, I didn’t…”
Yuan Luochen was halfway through his sentence.
He was interrupted by Old Master Yuan.
“You didn’t? Alright! Then I’ll kick you out of the heir list! I’ll make sure you never inherit the Yuan family!”
Yuan Luochen’s expression changed. “Father, how could you do this to me?”
Old Master Yuan sneered, “Why aren’t you pretending anymore? Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to get the position of the head of the Yuan family? Then why did you get so anxious when 1 said I wanted to remove you from the list?”
At this point, Yuan Luochen knew that whatever he said would be wrong, so he decided to lay it out.
“That’s right, Father. I do want to inherit the Yuan family. Because I’m the most outstanding among your sons, and I’m also the one who resembles you the most. Didn’t you always praise me for my courage and boldness? But in the past two years, you’ve favored my elder brother more. You treat him better in everything.” Yuan Luochen felt a little sour in his heart, but more than that, he felt indignant. “1 don’t understand why. What am I lacking compared to him? The more I try to figure out your thoughts and do better, the more mistakes 1 make…”
“I beg you to tell me where I lost. Even if you don’t choose me to inherit the Yuan family, you should let me die clearly.”
Yuan Luochen stared at his father without blinking, waiting for an answer.
Old Master Yuan’s jaw tightened, and his eyes were filled with anger.
He looked at him for a long time and said, “You lack the kindness your elder brother possesses. In terms of methods and capabilities, the two of you are equally matched. However, you are not as benevolent as your elder brother. If you inherit the Yuan family in the future, I’m afraid your brothers won’t be able to survive.”
Luochen was indeed the most similar child to him. He was truly ruthless! He also had enough courage to do things!
It was very good to have such a leader at the start-up stage. He could lead a company to develop at the fastest speed.
However, the Yuan family was already powerful enough.
What they needed was a leader who abided by the law and treated everyone well.
Luochen obviously couldn’t compare to Xudong in this aspect.
Old Master Yuan had hesitated between the two children before, but in the past two years, he had gradually leaned towards Yuan Xudong.
Therefore, he favored him in everyway.
Yuan Luochen was stunned for a few seconds when he heard his father’s words.
Then, he burst out laughing.
“So in my father’s eyes, I’m someone who can be ruthless to my siblings? Am I really your biological son? In all these years, when have I ever laid a finger on them?”
“Now that I’m alive, you naturally won’t dare to touch them. But if I die, there’s no guarantee. Luochen, I’ve always been good at judging people. You’re ruthless to the bone, if I hand over the power to you, you won’t show any mercy to others.” Old Master Yuan hardened his heart and said, “Don’t worry. Considering your years of hard work for the Yuan family, I won’t leave you with nothing. After I abdicate, I will leave you 15% of the shares, second only to the next head of the Yuan family. But the condition is, you must keep your place and not covet what doesn’t belong to you!”
He thought, “Who would care about a mere 15% of the shares!”
He wanted everything!”
Besides, the position of the head of the Yuan family originally belonged to him! What delusions!
He would never hand over the family head to someone else!
Yuan Luochen gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn’t show it on his face.
“Thank you, Father.”
Old Master Yuan could tell that he wasn’t convinced, but he had made up his mind.
He didn’t say it clearly before because he didn’t want Luochen to be disappointed too early.
However, with things escalating to this extent, there was no need to hide it anymore.
“Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for a night as punishment. In the future, remember not to make enemies for the Yuan family.” Old Master Yuan’s punishment this time was rather light.
It was also a consideration for the many years he had toiled for the Yuan family, even though he couldn’t inherit the Yuan family.
Yuan Luochen lowered his gaze and said in a low voice, “Alright.”
After saying that, he stood up and left resolutely.
Not long after he left, Old Master Yuan’s vision turned black and he felt dizzy.
Unable to support his body, he fell onto the chair.
He quickly took out the medicine from his pocket and ate it.
After calming down for a long time, he finally came back to his senses.
Through the news, Ye Xiaoxi learned that Yining’s plagiarism had been clarified. She was so excited that she couldn’t sleep well the entire night.
The next day.
She got up early in the morning and packed her things, wanting to go to school as soon as possible.
Let’s make a simple arrangement to celebrate Jiang Yining!
However, just as she reached the garden.
She saw Yuan Luochen walking over.
Ye Xiaoxi retreated in fear when she recalled how he had strangled her with murderous intent the last time.
But how could she make it in time?
Yuan Luochen’s anger, suppressed the whole night, erupted in an instant when he saw Ye Xiaoxi.
“Stop!”
Yuan Luochen roared.
Ye Xiaoxi was so frightened that she ran away as fast as a rabbit!
Only fools would listen to him and stop obediently!
Yuan Luochen chased after her with a ferocious expression. “Wretched girl! 1 told you to stop! Didn’t you hear me?!”
Normally, Yuan Luochen would have caught up with her in a few steps.
But last night, he knelt for the entire night.
His legs were somewhat unsteady now, so the distance between the two of them was moderate.
Ye Xiaoxi panicked.
She plunged headfirst into the arms of the person walking towards her. Her heart thumped and sank to the bottom of the valley.
Even her breathing became cautious.
She wanted to continue running in a panic.
But she was held back by the person. “Why are you running? Are there wolves chasing you?”
Yuan Xudong asked as he looked at the pale-faced person.
Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t be bothered to keep her distance from him. She said with a tearful voice, “Second Uncle is chasing me. He looks like he wants to kill someone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Luochen arrived.
Looking at the intimate interaction between Ye Xiaoxi and Yuan Xudong, Yuan Luochen was even more furious.
Damn it!
The old man favors Yuan Xudong, and so is Ye Xiaoxi, a wild girl of unknown origins!
In his opinion, Yuan Xudong deceived everyone with his good-natured appearance!
He was more vicious than anyone else!
Without batting an eyelid, he had snatched away the position that belonged to him!
“Wretched girl, I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me? Come here immediately, or I’ll teach you a lesson!” Yuan Luochen didn’t give Yuan Xudong any face at all and yelled at Ye Xiaoxi in a fierce tone.
Ye Xiaoxi held onto Yuan Xudong’s arm and hid behind him.
Yuan Xudong frowned slightly and said, “Xiaoxi is a member of our Yuan family. Her status is no lower than yours. What right do you have to order her around like that?”
“You want to play the good guy again? Yuan Xudong, what rights do you have to care about me?” Yuan Luochen arrogantly declared, “You think you’re qualified to question me? Get lost!”
After saying that, he stepped forward and tried to take Ye Xiaoxi away by force.
However, Yuan Xudong made a move and restrained his wrist.
“Let go!”
Yuan Luochen flew into a rage..
