Pei Minghan clenched her molars so hard they made a grinding sound.

Ye Ningwan...

Pei Minghan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

She must have done it on purpose!

Pei Minghan remained silent for a long time.

Madam Pei, however, couldn't help but want to speak.

"It's not even close to being a done deal, you..."

Pei Minghan reacted quickly, suddenly grabbing Madam Pei and pulling her back forcefully despite the pain, while giving Madam Pei a wink.

Madam Pei swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and wisely kept quiet after her son's prompting look.

Pei Minghan said to Ye Ningwan.

“Uncle Jiu just got married. It’s not good to have two big events in the family so close together, so my mother wants us to wait until next year.”

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and gently patted Pei Minghan's shoulder under the watchful eyes of Madam Pei and Pei Minghan.

"Then congratulations on your marriage in advance."

After saying that, Ye Ningwan turned around and smiled at Old Master Pei.

"Now that Ninth Master's hand is healed, I suppose no one else has anything to say. Dad, don't be angry. I believe we're all family, and everyone cares about Ninth Master. However, I think these are things that Ninth Master used to do, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get back to it now."

Upon hearing Ye Ningwan's words, Old Master Pei snorted coldly and swept his gaze over everyone present.

Because of Ye Ningwan's outburst just now, no one else could say anything more.

Moreover, judging from Pei Fengzhi's appearance just now, it was even worse than before his illness. Anyone would feel a little scared, fearing that if they angered Pei Fengzhi, the other party might kill them tonight.

Old Master Pei's cold, sharp gaze swept over everyone present. He pressed his fist to his lips, coughed, and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, I've made my decision. Starting tomorrow, Lao Jiu will join the Pei Group as CEO."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

She practically jumped up and spoke to Old Master Pei in a shrill voice.

"Dad! What did Uncle do wrong? He's still in Europe negotiating deals, and you just removed him from his CEO position with a single sentence. How do you expect him to feel?"

Old Master Pei raised his hand and comforted Madam Pei in a gentle tone.

"Elder sister, don't worry, I've already thought about this."

Madam Pei was panting heavily for a long time. She clenched her hands tightly, her sharp nails digging deep into her palms, causing an excruciating pain.

She finally calmed down and waited quietly for Grandpa Pei to continue.

Old Master Pei's voice was firm and resolute.

"The cooperation that the boss negotiated in Europe still needs to be implemented, so he can't come back so soon. This cooperation has a long cycle, probably five to ten years. In the meantime, we'll let him stay at the European headquarters and serve as the executive president of the European headquarters."

Madam Pei suddenly raised her head and looked at Old Master Pei in astonishment.

Six months ago, Mr. Pei sent Uncle Pei to Europe because of a contract.

At the time, Madam Pei was quite pleased, since securing this contract would be a great achievement for expanding into the European market.

The Pei family has focused on the domestic market in recent years, with very little business overseas. However, in today's globalized economy, even a relatively traditional old man like Grandpa Pei hopes to expand his business abroad.

At that time, the eldest son and his wife even thought that if the eldest son of the Pei family won the contract that the old master Pei had always wanted, would the old master Pei hand over the position of the head of the Pei family to the eldest son?

But neither of them expected that things would change dramatically in just six months.

Pei Fengzhi woke up, and Old Master Pei's mind also began to stir.

He had clearly been considering changing the heir, but now he's trying every means to keep Master Pei stuck in Europe for five to ten years.

Five to ten years from now, who knows how things will turn out!

But with Old Master Pei, he didn't care what others thought; he only cared about his own thoughts.

After saying that, Old Master Pei stopped paying attention to what Madam Pei was thinking.

He simply gave orders to the other members of the household in a stern manner.

"In addition, all the companies that the eldest, second, and third sons helped the ninth son manage should also be handed over."

The people from the other rooms didn't look too good.

But this time, it was clearly the eldest branch of the Pei family that suffered the most losses. The eldest branch was suppressed by Old Master Pei, so what could they say?

Old Master Pei's gaze swept over everyone present. Seeing that they were all silent, he coughed again, stood up first, and waved to them.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I'm tired too. You can all go home now."

Butler Wang stepped forward and supported Old Master Pei's arm. Old Master Pei's cane tapped the ground repeatedly. Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to the group of people behind him.

"Oh, by the way... starting tomorrow, Mingzhu will also be joining the company and will be assisting Lao Jiu with his work."

This time, Old Master Pei really left, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Ningwan glanced at the group of people with varying expressions, gently tugged at Pei Fengzhi's sleeve, and whispered.

"Let's go too."

Pei Fengzhi lowered his eyes, his thick, deep eyebrows gazing at Ye Ningwan with a gentle smile.
