"Father has made it clear that all matters concerning Jinghai will be left to me."

Glancing at Huangfu Lie, Huangfu Yuan said calmly: "You are naturally included."

The muscles on Huangfu Lie's face trembled slightly, and then an arrogant look emerged:

"I am the eldest son in the family. I am the one who should deal with you. What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?"

"Brother, you are so silly and cute."

Huangfu Yuan had already anticipated Huangfu Lie's reaction, and with a chuckle, he took out the jade pendant from his arms.

"As the heir of the family, I have the right to deal with all family affairs. Do you have any objection?"

It seemed that he was intentionally teasing Huangfu Lie while revealing his identity.

Huangfu Yuan deliberately shook the jade pendant, as if he was teasing a monkey.

When Huangfu Lie saw the jade pendant, his eyes instantly turned red.

He had been fighting with Huangfu Yuan for so long just for this jade pendant.

For countless days and nights, he fantasized about becoming the master of the family, but the reality was too cruel to accept.

He, Huangfu Lie, the eldest son in the family, should inherit everything in the family.

Why should this supreme honor be taken away by a latecomer?

"this is mine!"

Huangfu Lie roared, stretched out his hands and pounced on the jade pendant in Huangfu Yuan's hand.

In response, Huangfu Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, not caring at all.

Just when Huangfu Lie's fingers were about to touch the jade pendant, a powerful force suddenly struck and knocked him back fiercely.

"Master Lie, please wake up!"

Looking at the mad Huangfu Lie, Wu Zhong said coldly, "Master Yuan is the heir designated by the master, you should respect the family's decision."

Huangfu Lie was stunned: "You...how dare you betray me? My father sent you here to protect me!"

"'That was before."

Wu Zhong's expression remained grim: "According to the family's rules, I must now be loyal to Master Yuan."

"He was the future of the family, and you...are no longer."

"Asshole! How dare you do this to me."

Wu Zhong's words were tantamount to tearing off Huangfu Lie's last fig leaf.

He turned to look at Peng Hao, who had been standing next to him with his head lowered, and ordered, "Peng Hao, go grab the jade pendant for me!"

Hearing this, Peng Hao's head shrank.

He kept his head down because he didn't want to get involved in the dispute, but he didn't expect to be called out by Huangfu Lie.

Steal the jade pendant?

Looking for death?

This jade pendant symbolizes the glory of the Huangfu family, and he wouldn't dare to steal it even if he had ten thousand guts.

"Are you fucking deaf?!"

Huangfu Lie was furious and pointed at Peng Hao and cursed him.

But Peng Hao still didn't dare to step forward. He clenched his fists and tried his best to look less panicked.

"Your name is Peng Hao, right?"

At this moment, Huangfu Yuan's voice sounded at the right time.

Yes. "

Peng Hao looked up and met Huangfu Yuan's gaze. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He had never seen such an unfathomable look before.

"I know you. You are very loyal to my Huangfu family. Just follow me from now on."

Huangfu Yuan spoke slowly.

"Can I?"

Peng Hao was a little flattered.

In the capital, almost everyone knows that the two brothers of the Huangfu family are competing for the position of head of the family.

In this situation, his following Huangfu Lie around was itself a kind of silent support.

It is an indisputable fact that Huangfu Lie is finished.

The fight for the throne among the big families is no less intense than the battle for succession in ancient times.

Now, Huangfu Yuan is the winner, and in order to prevent himself from losing his position, he has to deal with people who are on good terms with Huangfu Lie. This is normal.

This is also the reason why Peng Hao was not in a hurry to return to the capital. He wanted to show his friendship to Huangfu Yuan in person.

This will offset Huangfu Yuan's hostility towards his own family.

Being recruited by Huangfu Yuan can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Working directly for the future head of the Huangfu family, this honor and the resources that will be obtained in the future are incomparable to other second-tier families.

"of course can."

Huangfu Yuan smiled faintly, like a spring breeze, which instantly dissipated Peng Hao's uneasiness.

"Whatever my eldest brother promised you before, I will fulfill it."

"Also, you can always tell me if there are any difficulties in the family in the future."

Huangfu Yuan spoke with certainty.

"Thank you, Master Yuan." Peng Hao bowed deeply and said in a firm voice:

"From now on, I, Peng Hao, will follow Young Master Yuan's lead!"

"very good."

Huangfu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Huangfu Lie and gave the first order: "Let him out!"
