Chapter 78: Why should it belong to you alone?
Who could it be?
Which room is it hidden in?
Or maybe.
If there is more than one room, the other party may have made two or three preparations.
This kind of anger that comes from knowing that the murderer is right in front of you but not being able to find him is simply heartbreaking!
"Uncles, aunts, please move over here. There is something I want to clarify with everyone."
Chu Jiuning raised her hand, and the maids came forward with fragrant tea and served it to her one by one.
Everyone looked at the table filled with expensive cakes and fruits, as well as the fresh flowers they had picked, and sat in the soft armchairs, feeling that the emperor was no better than them.
"The Chu family's business started with my grandfather, and was later run by my father. Then I took over. We built it up independently. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth branches."
Rooms two, three, four, five, and six were startled when they heard this, and they all looked up at Chu Jiuning. Some frowned, some had anger in their eyes, and some were unwilling to be angry.
When Old Master Chu Si heard this, he frowned coldly and became furious. He frowned and glared at Chu Jiuning, pointing his finger at the table and yelling.
"Xiaojiu, it's inappropriate to say this here. What's yours? Your grandfather's. This is our entire Chu family's business. We all have a share."
I originally thought that Chu Jiuning had gotten his grandson Chu Boyao into Chunshan Academy and given him a mine, so he would be nicer to her this time, but what kind of talk was she saying?
It's simply treasonous and he deserves to die!
After the fourth old master finished speaking, many people nodded, and some people mocked him.
"The elders in the family are still alive. Besides, you're already married, and you still want to come back and give orders? It's not your turn to take charge, Chu Jiuning, that doesn't make sense!"
"That's right. We invested money and effort in these businesses. Why do we say it belongs to her family?"
"What does she mean by that? Is she planning to dominate the market and drive us all out?"
"She's trying to cut off our path, our livelihood, and drive us to death..."
An aunt started wiping her face with a handkerchief while speaking. After wiping for a long time, not a single tear was seen. Instead, everyone became more angry.
…
You talk, I talk, like a vegetable market, the voices are getting louder and louder, the more they talk, the angrier and more unpleasant they become, when they look at Chu Jiuning, it's as if they are holding a knife, some are so angry that their chests are heaving and their fists are clenched.
Old Master Chu sat in the main seat, looking at these ungrateful people coldly, sadness and anger surging out at once. He had expected that human nature would be like this, but seeing it happen to Chu Jiuning with his own eyes still made him hate it.
Chu Jiuning had an indifferent look on her face and reached out to hold Old Master Chu's hand.
Old Master Chu patted the back of her hand gently, turned around, glanced at her with anger, and shouted with majesty.
"Are you done?"
Even though he was just a businessman, he had the domineering aura that only those in power possessed, which silenced the noisy voices.
Chu Jiuning raised her hand, and Amber handed her a thick booklet, which Chu Jiuning threw on the table with a bang.
"My cousins may not know, but my uncles, aunts, and grandpa should know who owns the business. This booklet contains
Remember Chu's first business, and then the most recent one. Everyone, open your eyes and take a look. Which business did you invest money and effort in? Look at it all. Speak with facts, don't talk nonsense there. I have a bad temper and I like to get angry.
His eyes fell lightly on Chu Linxiao.
Chu Linxiao stood up immediately, followed by Chu Yiming and Chu Jingchi, and the others followed suit. Everyone flipped through the pages one by one.
“Pah.”
Old Master Chu Si slammed the table with a slap on his face, looking arrogant and unreasonable.
"That's not the way to say it. This is our Chu family's business. What does it have to do with you, a married woman?"
"It's a huge deal."
Old Master Chu looked at his younger brother coldly.
"Ever since you were old enough to understand, I've been cleaning up your mess. Count how many years it's been now? Whenever there's something wrong, you're the one who makes the biggest fuss, and you're the one who slacks off the most. Count it yourself, have you ever done anything decent?"
"Why don't I have any?"
Old Master Chu Si's eyes were wide open with anger, and he stiffened his neck and refused to admit his fault. Seeing that he was not eating or drinking, Old Master Chu grabbed the cup beside him and threw it at him. Old Master Chu Si hurriedly dodged the cup, and he was so angry that the veins on his neck burst.
"If you have it, then you should return the one million taels of silver you borrowed from me."
What?
The people in the fourth room were shocked. Why did they borrow another million? Where did the money go? What did they do with it?
Facing the pairs of angry and questioning eyes in his room, the fourth old master waved his hand and said in a rogue manner.
"No, he's just talking nonsense. I don't have that much money."
"That's right?" Chu Jiuning sneered. "The courtesan in Huayue Tower redeemed herself thanks to Fourth Master. Now she's being kept by Fourth Master on the farm. She's living a very happy life."
"you--"
The fourth old master was exposed and stood up with his face flushed.
Chu Jiuning didn't want to see their ugly faces, so she glanced at the whole audience and said angrily.
"This small gathering has two purposes. First, I want to tell everyone that my eldest wife has raised you for so many years. We have done our utmost to honor our ancestors and to your entire family. From today on, I ask that you all be self-reliant. If you want to live a good life, please work hard on your own."
"How can this be possible?"
The eldest aunt from the fifth room became anxious.
"You're going to cut off our food supply. What are we going to do? Where are we going to make money? I don't agree."
"I don't agree either, Xiaojiu. This is our Chu family's internal affairs. You, an outsider, shouldn't make irresponsible remarks. Besides, the old master hasn't said anything yet, and you're pointing fingers here. Is it your turn?"
"If you dare to cut off our money, I will fight you to the death."
There was even an uncle who jumped up, as tall and strong as a bull, and rushed in front of Chu Jiuning, as if he wanted to knock her to death.
He thought that the little girl Chu Jiuning would be scared and cry, or even run away, and the rest would be fine as long as they could control Old Master Chu.
But who knows.
Chu Jiuning's eyes were filled with contempt as she glanced at Amber. Amber immediately took two steps forward, grabbed the uncle's arm, pushed him lightly, and threw him onto the tree.
This ferocious action frightened those who were about to rush over to make trouble. They hurriedly swallowed the curses they were about to say and sat down again.
Some even rubbed their eyes desperately, thinking they were seeing things.
How could someone have so much strength?
"Who else?"
