Chapter 615: The Yu Family Drama

The main house was already bustling with activity.

With gorgeous clothes and precious gold and jade, everyone exudes an air of nobility.

Before coming here, Su Man had done her homework and learned about the people in the Yu family. But even so, she couldn't recognize many of the people in front of her.

These people are not active in the public eye.

But there was one person who stood out, and Su Man recognized him.

Tao Jinmei.

She was shuttling and greeting all the relatives and friends of the Yu family, like a butterfly dancing in the crowd, quickly blowing kisses to everyone, making sure they were equally welcomed without stopping.

She wore a camel-colored woolen skirt, a grass-green cashmere turtleneck sweater, and a golden jacquard butterfly-embellished neo-Chinese vest. The brocade fabric was adorned with an exquisite six-ear brocade knot. Her black hair was tied up, adorned with a pearl headdress, giving her a rich and gorgeous look.

This woman was actually born with a distinctive appearance, but there was a hint of charm in her eyes and brows.

Suman doesn’t like it.

While observing, Tao Jinmei also noticed Yu Qionghua and Su Man.

The sharpness in his eyes flashed away for a moment, and then he gave Qionghua a polite and hypocritical smile: "Big sister is back."

She only greeted Yu Qionghua and ignored Su Man.

Yu Qionghua nodded at her, her chin slightly raised, and said arrogantly, "You are so busy running around, you are more like the master than anyone else in this family."

"Big sister, you're joking. Dad asked Yu Yang and me to prepare this meal today. I have to prepare it well so as not to neglect it, right?"

Tao Jinmei brought up the old man. Yu Qionghua curled her lips, said nothing more, and pulled Su Man to sit down at the dining table.

"Don't be shy. I don't know many of the people here today. They are probably friends brought back by the younger generations. Even some distant relatives have come with their friends. You don't have to greet everyone one by one. If anyone greets me, just nod and respond." Yu Qionghua whispered in Su Man's ear.

Suman nodded.

Soon, several servants brought up the dishes one after another.

Old Master Yu and Yu Hanming, who had been having a secret conversation in the study, finally showed up.

Yu Hanming was a little surprised when he saw Su Man, and he was not at all forgiving in his words. He said to Yu Qionghua rudely: "Aunt, why do you bring all kinds of people home? Aren't you afraid of polluting this house?"

"Didn't your parents teach you to be polite to guests?"

"I'm so sorry."

Yu Hanming nodded perfunctorily, without any intention of apologizing.

When passing by Su Man and Yu Qionghua, he snorted sarcastically, being arrogant and rude.

Yu Qionghua clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Mr. Yu has arrived, so we can have dinner.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

Old Master Yu sat in the main seat and let Yu Hanming sit next to him. It was obvious that he valued Hanming.

Because Tao Jinmei is Yu Hanming's mother, she also benefits from it and sits on the other side of Yu Hanming. She is closer to the old man than Yu Qionghua, the eldest sister who is in charge.

According to the rules of aristocratic families for generations, whoever is closer to the head of the family will have their needs heard more easily and their words will carry more weight.

It is estimated that Yu Hanming and Tao Jinmei's status has actually surpassed Qionghua. Now, all they lack is a name.

At the table, Yu Hanming and Tao Jinmei, mother and son, were whispering to each other while casting their eyes on Su Man.

The look in his eyes was as if he was looking at a jackal, tiger or leopard, as if he wanted to skin Su Man alive.

In fact, Suman has no direct conflict of interest with them.

The only reason why they hated Su Man so much was Xiao Beisheng.

And now, Su Man, who was related to Xiao Beisheng, had teamed up with Yu Qionghua, standing on the opposite side of them. It was estimated that they regarded Su Man as a potential threat.

Just because Su Man was related to Xiao Beisheng, they regarded Su Man as a thorn in their side. In her heart, Su Man suddenly felt sorry for Xiao Beisheng.

Having such a heartless mother and such a hypocritical and cunning brother.

Suman avoided their sight and lowered her head to eat her meal.

At the end of the meal, Mr. Yu suddenly announced:

"I'm old now, and I can't take care of many things. I plan to hand over the catering and hotel businesses in Donggang to Hanming."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at each other in surprise.

The Yu family's businesses are widespread, but the restaurant and hotel businesses are their best and most profitable. It can be said that these two industries are the two main economic lifelines.

Old Master Yu has been in a semi-retired state in recent years, and most of the business has been handed over to Yu Qionghua. However, he still holds these two big plates tightly in his own hands and has not handed them over to anyone else.

The outside world also tacitly assumes that Yu Qionghua is the heir. When Mr. Yu completely abdicates, all the business in Donggang will be handed over to Yu Qionghua, and the rest of the family property will be redistributed so that the children of several families can share the benefits equally.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Yu is now going to hand over the most profitable business to Yu Hanming.

What everyone is concerned about is how to divide other interests.

If there is no meat to eat, you always have to fight for broth.

But now, isn’t it a mess?

The most anxious person is Yu Qionghua:

"Dad, the business in Donggang is huge and the workload is heavy. Hanming is still young. If you just hand over two tasks to him, isn't that too much pressure on him?"

"Yes, Dad, is this a mistake?"

Han Shuang also spoke.

Old Master Yu said slowly, "I've already discussed this with Hanming. He now owns half of the shares in the Xiao family's Dingsheng Group. Dingsheng's business can be mutually beneficial with our Donggang business, so handing it over to Hanming is the best choice. Which of you can be as capable as Hanming?"

These words were a sharp blow to Qionghua.

What was all her hard work for the Yu family over the years?

Now it was wiped out by the old man's light words.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, and I won't change it. Tomorrow morning, I'll have my secretary send out this notice. You don't have to be dissatisfied. It's not up to you to decide how big your job is. As long as you do your job well, you won't starve to death."

Mr. Yu made the final decision and did not allow anyone else to comment.

No matter how resentful Yu Qionghua was, she couldn't fight for herself. If she continued, it would be disgraceful.

Just as she swallowed her breath, Mr. Yu said, "There's one more thing."

Everyone looked up again.

"I plan to hand over the management of the inner house to Jinmei." After saying this, Old Man Yu looked at Tao Jinmei and said, "From now on, I will have to work hard for you."

Before Tao Jinmei could be modest, Yu Qionghua asked, "Dad, why is this?"

Tao Jinmei smiled and said, "Sister, you've been running around outside these days, so you don't know much about the situation at home. The old man has been in the hospital several times, and there are hundreds of people in the house who need to be taken care of. Everyone here, inside and outside, needs care."

This statement clearly meant that Yu Qionghua was not at home and did not care about the affairs of the family. Therefore, Yu Qionghua had no right to ask about the power of the inner house.

But in fact, Yu Qionghua has to manage external businesses and balance the dealings between the Yu family and politicians. How can she have so much energy to take care of household affairs?

If the old man just wanted to balance the third wife, he should have handed over the business to the third wife and the power to the second wife. But now, the old man has directly skipped the second wife and handed the power to the third wife.

The meaning of changing the heir is already very clear.

At the dinner table, Su Man acted as an invisible person, watching all directions and enjoying the gossip about the Yu family.

The Yu family's drama is even more interesting.
