Zhou Guichuan was so angry at their back-and-forth that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
He's not even old yet! And they're already thinking about seizing power. What a fine son of his.
"In my opinion, the Third Young Master is the one everyone wants."
"That's right! I support Third Young Master too!"
Those people hadn't noticed Zhou Guichuan's change yet and were still gossiping among themselves.
Zhou Haiyuan's men remained silent, resembling a defeated attacker.
"Enough!" Zhou Guichuan slammed his hand on the table. "What do you all mean by this? Are you hoping I'll die sooner?"
Seeing Zhou Guichuan lose his temper, everyone in the conference room immediately fell silent.
"Stop pretending, why don't you stop pretending? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think I'm too old, so you're eager to please the next generation?" Zhou Guichuan's face was terribly cold.
He gave Zhou Haiji a cold glance, and Zhou Haiji immediately spoke like a quail.
This was clearly arranged by Zhou Haiji, with the aim of handing over the inheritance rights of Xinyuan Group to him.
His purpose in promoting Zhou Haiji during this period was to balance Zhou Haiyuan's power.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhou Haiji would be so bold as to join forces with these high-ranking officials to force him to relinquish power.
"You think you can take control of the Xinyuan Group right now? You're all too green!"
"Dad, that's not what I meant!" Zhou Haiji stood at the door of the conference room, tugging at Zhou Guichuan's clothes as he quickly explained.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Guichuan didn't even glance at him, and simply turned and left.
Feeling frustrated, Zhou Haiji had no idea what the old man was really thinking.
The old man had clearly valued him highly during this period, and he thought the opportunity had come, so he urged his subordinates to persuade the old man to make him his successor. But who knew the old man would react like this?
Not knowing what to do, Zhou Haiji went to Qi Ke'er again.
"Zhou Haiji, why is he here again?" Qi Ke'er had received a message these past two days telling her that she absolutely could not contact Zhou Haiyuan, and she was feeling quite depressed.
Qi Ke'er hadn't even had time to change out of her pajamas when Zhou Haiji barged in.
"Ke'er, what do you think the old man is thinking? You're by his side every day, can you analyze it for me?" Zhou Haiji said with a frustrated expression.
"Grandpa has clearly been neglecting Zhou Haiyuan lately, and he even gave me such an important place as Warehouse No. 1. I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and confirm my status as the heir, but who knew that Grandpa would turn against me like this." He really couldn't understand what Grandpa was thinking.
Because Zhou Haiji barged in so suddenly, Qi Ke'er hadn't had time to change her clothes. She was wearing a purple silk strapless nightgown and white lace-trimmed silk shorts.
Although her belly was prominently protruding, her skin was smooth and her complexion was rosy. Her exposed skin had a rosy glow, which, combined with her beautiful face, gave her an unusual sexiness and allure.
Zhou Haiji stared, his eyes wide with amazement.
"Ke'er! You're already six months along! That means it's okay..."
Zhou Haiji couldn't help but start touching him.
Qi Ke'er quickly pushed him away, but although she was tall, she was still a woman and couldn't push him away.
"Ke'er, you're getting more and more beautiful!" The more Qi Ke'er resisted, the more persistent Zhou Haiji became.
Just when Qi Ke'er felt she couldn't escape, the door was suddenly pushed open.
What are you doing?
A sharp shout came from outside the door.
"Dad! Why are you here!" Zhou Haiji looked at Zhou Guichuan, who was filled with anger, with a look of horror on his face.
"You actually have the nerve to ask me how I got here! Tell me, how did you get here?" Zhou Guichuan picked up a vase and threw it at him.
The vase shattered into a pile of rubble with a loud crash.
"Um, Dad, it's not what you see. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Zhou Haiji hurriedly straightened his clothes.
Qi Ke'er sat blankly on the bed, her eyes not fixed on Zhou Haiyuan, who stood calmly in the crowd.
Is that you? Is that you?
"Misunderstanding! You say this is a misunderstanding? Do you really think I'm blind? You beast, you have so many women outside, and you still have to come and steal your father's!" Zhou Guichuan grabbed the baseball bat by the door and charged at Zhou Haiji.
"Dad! It's a misunderstanding! It really is a misunderstanding. Ke'er got some dust in her eyes, so I was just checking them." The two of them chased each other around, making a huge commotion.
"You think I'm blind? You have dust in your eyes? You unfilial son, get over here right now! I'll beat you to death!"
"Alright! Why aren't you going up and pulling the old man away?" Zhou Haiyuan whispered to the people around him. His purpose was not to watch this farce. Once the old man's anger subsided, the matter might really just be dropped.
A moment later, Zhou Guichuan was pulled away, and he threw the baseball bat aside, panting.
"You little bastard, you dare to touch your father's woman? You're incredibly audacious!"
"Tell me the truth, is the child in Qi Ke'er's belly also your bastard?" Zhou Guichuan was absolutely furious. He never expected that the one who stole his wife was his own son. It was a disgrace.
"No! No! How could that be? Someone must be slandering me!" Zhou Haiji glanced at Qi Ke'er with a guilty look.
"You still dare to deny it? I've already heard about this. If you honestly admit it, I might think more highly of you." Zhou Guichuan deliberately tried to provoke him.
"Absolutely not! Someone is definitely slandering me. Dad, who told you this? Was it Zhou Haiyuan? It must be him!" Zhou Haiji's mind was working quite fast.
"Dad! It must be him. He just doesn't like you taking a liking to me lately, so he deliberately set this up," Zhou Haiji argued.
Upon hearing Zhou Haiji's explanation, Zhou Haiyuan gave a wink, and the so-called witnesses and physical evidence he had collected began to appear.
"That night, while I was patrolling nearby, I saw someone sneaking into Miss Ke'er's room. When I went over to check, it turned out to be the Third Young Master. When he saw that I had discovered him, he threatened me not to tell anyone, or he would kill me."
"Yes, I saw it too! One morning, the Third Young Master was sneaking out of Miss Ke'er's room."
"Yes! I saw it too!"
Those standing next to Zhou Haiyuan accused Zhou Haiji.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhou Haiyuan handed Zhou Guichuan two more paternity test results.
