Chapter 315 seems to have found the culprit.
If the Zhang family hadn't allocated such a large sum of money to invest in the Shangguan family back then, they wouldn't have taken such a wrong turn due to cash flow problems.
"What do you mean by revenge? What grievance have I committed against you?"
You did help me when I was in my most difficult time, but when you suddenly wanted to withdraw your investment later, I returned the money, principal and interest.
They even gave your Zhang family a large project as a reward.
It is your own greed that drives you to take crooked paths and break the law.
There's no debt between us, so don't bring up any grudges!
Grandma Zhang wiped away her tears hesitantly: "If it weren't for that huge sum of money invested in you, my son wouldn't have gone astray because of cash flow problems!"
"Merchants value a transaction where the money is exchanged on the spot. Back then, your investment was for investment purposes."
After you got the project I gave you, didn't you ignore my predicament and insist on withdrawing your investment?
"Don't try to portray yourself as so righteous!" the old man scoffed.
The Zhang family members gritted their teeth inwardly, wondering what tricks this old geezer was up to now.
Didn't we already say the child won't change their surname? Why bring up these old issues again?
So they made a mistake in helping him back then?
"Grandpa, I know you don't want me to change my surname, but I promise I will only ever take Dad's surname for the rest of my life."
We will never allow the Shangguan family line to end; even after thousands of years, this place will still bear the surname Shangguan.
"Everyone here can supervise!" Shangguan Yu swallowed hard and made the promise with difficulty.
His yielding manner made it seem as if Master Shangguan was being unreasonable and cold-hearted.
If your family is all dead, why insist on clinging to a particular surname?
"Old Chairman, since the child has already made a promise..."
"How about we... adjourn the meeting?" a middle-aged shareholder hesitantly suggested.
The other shareholders quickly nodded in agreement.
God knows how terrified they are right now.
Because they couldn't figure out why the old chairman was making such a big fuss.
Didn't we already analyze the pros and cons with him? The company can't do without Shangguan Yu right now.
The company is currently in talks with a Fortune 100 company, and the other party has made it clear that they only recognize Shangguan Yu.
They're not really stupid; they don't have to hand over the meat that's right in front of them to Shangguan Yu.
Isn't this because Shangguan Yu has a better business sense than them?
Even if they took over the chairmanship, it wouldn't be as promising for Shangguan Yu to be the second or third in command.
Besides, with so many veterans, who will take over? Whoever takes over will not be accepted by the others, and what awaits them will be infighting at the top.
Furthermore, Shangguan Yu had assured them that he would soon be able to board the Bai family's ship. Who was the Bai family's daughter? Her connections spanned the entire Eastern Kingdom.
Even the Crown Prince was her devoted subject.
They don't have the ability to get involved with the Bai family's daughter, let alone the ability to cooperate with the world's top 100 companies.
It seems the old man can never get over the fact that Shangguan Yu changed his surname.
He didn't hesitate to swallow his pride and invited the Northern King and others to come and support him.
Shangguan Yu is the same. How much longer can the old man live? Couldn't they wait until he passed away before changing his surname? Why did they have to provoke him at this time?
This has blown up quite a bit, hasn't it?
What worries the shareholders most is not this, but the fear that the old man might act impulsively and donate all his shares, disregarding the company's fate.
Please don't do this! Who knows if the next person sent to take over will be as capable as Shangguan Yu?
The old man was both amused and annoyed. Ignoring the shareholders, he turned to the pretentious Shangguan Yu: "Young Yu, when I was starting out in this business, you weren't even born yet."
Don't treat everyone like fools.
"Alright, I'm not interested in watching your act here. Come here."
With a sudden change in expression, she beamed and pulled Mu Zhen to the front of the group, proudly introducing her to everyone: "Shangguan Yunya..."
You can continue to call her Mu Yunya, my granddaughter, my own granddaughter!
Judging from Mu Yunfei's attitude towards his granddaughter, having another Mu surname doesn't matter. Perhaps the Shangguan family and the Mu family can cooperate more in the future.
The old man wasn't bothered by these details; he just wanted the household registration book corrected.
Besides, the granddaughter was originally raised by the Mu family.
As long as the Mu family still acknowledges her, she will still be half a member of the Mu family.
The Mu family army is not just for show; in this way, the Shangguan family will have another military connection.
Haha, so beautiful!
Knowing they wouldn't believe him, the old butler immediately handed out paternity test results to everyone, grinning like a sly fox: "Royal testing agency, honest and trustworthy!"
Well, now that a royal appraisal agency has come up with it, even if it's not real, it can only be real.
If even the royal family says she's real, then who would dare say she's fake?
Upon hearing the old steward's words, Shangguan Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
He accepted the report with feigned composure, the fake smile on his handsome face gradually fading.
Their eyes practically wanted to make the royal emblem on the paper disappear.
The other members of the Zhang family were equally furious, bringing not only three large Buddha statues but also the imperial family.
Even if you told them the whole story, they wouldn't believe that Mu Yunya was a child of the Shangguan family.
It wasn't that he didn't believe everything. Shangguan Yu trembled as he gripped the report tightly. Some time ago, out of boredom, he went to the old man's room.
There, he saw a photo, assuming it was left behind by one of the maids. Mu Yunya was a celebrity now, so it wasn't surprising that some people were fans of her.
Now, when I think back to that photo, I realize I've forgotten something. The photo is yellowed; how could it possibly be Mu Yunya's?
That cabinet... seems to be where the old man kept his wife's belongings.
So... the photo belongs to Grandma Shangguan.
Damn it, how come I didn't notice these details back then? Otherwise, he would have definitely taken care of Mu Yunya, the old man, and that old butler beforehand.
Once these people are dead, who will know this secret?
Wait, there's more... I tilted my head and stole a glance at that woman who's also been making headlines online lately.
Does anyone know if this person has a photo of Shangguan Hong and his grandmother together?
These people should all be dealt with in advance.
On the opposite sofa, Mu Yunfei inadvertently looked up from his phone and saw Shangguan Yu secretly glancing at Cui Meixin.
That look was definitely not friendly.
Before entering the manor, Grandpa Shangguan boasted to everyone about how similar Mu Yunya was to his wife, and even showed them a photo of himself and his wife.
They do look very similar. If he didn't look closely, he would have thought the person above was Mu Yunya.
So this is the mastermind behind Aunt Cui's death in the second playthrough?
Mu Yunfei put one hand to his forehead, using his knuckles to shield the cold glint in his eyes.
It must be him. Who else would go to such lengths to harm Aunt Cui?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mu's loyal followers wanted to avenge their master.
