Chapter 314 The Shangguan family can only belong to him
You know, this old guy always looks like he's about to die, but he's always on the verge of dying and never actually dies.
As long as the old man dies, even without a will, he can rightfully inherit those shares.
We'll give the old man another month at most. If he's still alive within a month, then don't blame him for being ruthless!
The Shangguan family can only belong to Shangguan Yu.
"Haha, you little rascals, slow down!" In front of the barbecue grill, Shangguan Yu's grandmother kindly shouted to the children who were running around like crazy.
The other twenty-odd people, some older and some younger, all smiled serenely, as if enjoying a peaceful moment.
They seem to be more than satisfied with their current life.
How could they not be satisfied? The whole family suffered a terrible change, and the entire clan fell into a quagmire, but through some planning, they gained a more prosperous and beautiful home than before.
Who could have known that neither this manor nor the vast fortune that was about to fall into their pockets belonged to them?
The middle-aged butler saw that the large group of people not only did not leave, but also brazenly barged in.
With a cold expression, she thought, "Young Master has a rare moment of leisure today, and he's gathering his relatives for a meal in the back. We can't let these outsiders spoil his enjoyment."
They immediately went to drive them away, saying, "Tourists are not allowed here... sir?"
The middle-aged butler stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost. He was confused and shocked, but there was no respect or joy in his eyes.
As members of the Zhang family who have yet to succeed in their attempt to usurp the throne, how could they not panic when the rightful ruler, who is about to step down but has not yet done so, returns?
However, considering that the Zhang family's later decline was due to the inaction of the Shangguan family, he no longer felt guilty.
He put on a kind, fake smile: "Sir, look how sick you are, yet you're still running around everywhere? Come, come, let me take you back to the hospital first."
"It's windy today. If you catch a cold, how are we supposed to explain it to the young master?" He said, and started to help the man out.
Before he could even touch the old man, Lü Bu stepped forward with a smile and shook his hand: "Butler, right?"
Grandpa Shangguan is much healthier than you now, what illness does he have? No illness.
"You've recovered and been discharged from the hospital. You need to come back to pick up your family's belongings. Do you understand?"
Damn, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
If the Crown Prince hadn't sent people to investigate repeatedly, they wouldn't have known that Shangguan Yu had come prepared from the very beginning.
The Zhang family went bankrupt back then because they broke the law, evaded taxes, and accepted bribes. It was perfectly normal that the Shangguan family couldn't help them.
Who the hell would dare to get involved in something like this?
Wow, the Zhang family almost managed to seize the family business of the eldest son's biological father.
Hmph! No one can take the boss's things away.
I never dreamed that the boss had such a powerful backer.
The eldest son's life is truly unbelievable; he even asked his parents several times last night if it was possible he wasn't their biological child.
He also wanted to turn his life around and become the only son of a super-rich man who had been living away from home.
As a result, he naturally got kicked hard by his dad.
The middle-aged butler didn't take Lü Bu's words to heart. In the blink of an eye, he saw the three men who frequently appeared in the news following behind the old man, and dared not stop him anymore.
While politely leading the people into the main hall, he instructed a servant to go to the backyard to inform Shangguan Yu.
About half an hour later, the magnificent hall was filled with people, including the Zhang family and several major shareholders of the company invited by Old Master Shangguan.
When Mu Zhen arrived, he already knew the background of the Zhang family members. He gathered the shareholders together because he wanted to resolve all the troubles at once.
The old man sat in the main seat. The Zhang family members, unaware that their identities had been exposed, acted very respectfully in front of him.
Shangguan Yu was overjoyed. When he looked at the old man, his eyes were full of filial piety, and he could not tell how disobedient and unfilial he had been at the sickbed that day.
Old Master Shangguan knew exactly why they were putting on this show.
If it weren't for Long Yuan and his juniors being there today, this family would have done something to provoke him.
Too lazy to watch their act, his sharp old eyes swept over everyone in the Zhang family: "Heh, the Zhang family, it's you all."
Zhang Jiaxing, you've quietly laid out such a grand scheme for me.
What? Did we cause the Zhang family's downfall?
That's why, after Shangguan Yu's relatives came, they were all like pearls hidden in the sand. They could easily outperform those professional college students after just a few years of night school.
Graduates from ordinary universities far outnumber those from prestigious universities.
Even a lowly gardener can replace the housekeeper in just six months.
So they were all playing the fool with him, just to take advantage of his family's extinction.
Thankfully, heaven has eyes, and he didn't actually die of anger in his hospital bed. Otherwise, even in his final moments, he wouldn't have known that such a large pack of wolves and tigers was hiding in his home.
The Zhang family members, who were still thinking about how to put on a show in front of Long Yuan and the other two, suddenly turned pale.
But the panic only lasted for a moment, because they had an ace up their sleeve.
I can't understand how the old man was able to find out their identities, even though they hid them so well.
Before they recognized each other as Shangguan Yu, their whole family lived in the countryside.
Except for some younger family members who needed to go out to study, the others never left.
The identities they used were also meticulously arranged, so that anyone who investigated would find that they were all native to that village.
Because all the villagers were their distant relatives.
Nowadays, many positions in the company are held by the younger generation of villagers.
With shared interests, the villagers have no reason to betray them.
Several important officials in the county and town were promoted in recent years through Shangguan Yu's connections.
There's no reason why the old man could find out these things.
Regardless, once it's been found, it's been found.
Then there's no need for them to keep pretending.
Since the old man has no offspring, all the major shareholders and management will stand on their side.
Even if the old man is unwilling, what can he do?
We can't just ignore these people's lives, can we?
When Shangguan Yu met the old man's ambiguous smile, he knew that no amount of sophistry would be of any use.
Instead of being blunt, she lowered her head and said sadly, "Grandpa..."
I'm sorry, I really didn't know about these grudges from your previous generation.
I overheard their conversation a year ago... Grandpa, when will this cycle of revenge end?
Don't worry, I will work even harder to lead the company to new heights and ensure the Shangguan family doesn't decline.
I assure you, from this day forward, I will live as a member of the Shangguan family, and I will die as a ghost of the Shangguan family.
So what if I don't change my surname? A true man can bend and stretch. Just because I don't change it in my generation doesn't mean the next generation won't, right?
What methods did the old man use to invite these three people?
The shareholders looked at each other, so the Shangguan family already owed the Zhang family something?
Is the Zhang family here for revenge?
To orchestrate such a grand scheme and speak with such self-righteousness, could it be that the Shangguan family's success today is all thanks to the Zhang family?
It's not impossible; the Shangguan family has gone through many devastating hardships in the past.
Upon hearing this, the entire Zhang family clenched their fists secretly, seemingly extremely dissatisfied that Shangguan Yu could not change his surname.
This was something the Shangguan family owed them.
