Chu Ruoxue was clearly protecting Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan, but Chu Wei's confident demeanor was also quite worrisome.
Seeing that Chu Ruoxue was unconvinced, Chu Wei suddenly said, "Why don't I make a bet with you today?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Ruoxue asked expressionlessly.
Jiang Yan tugged at Qin Yiheng's sleeve. In this situation, the two of them were the main characters in the argument, and it seemed inappropriate not to say something. However, Qin Yiheng simply gave her a reassuring look, subtly protecting her.
"If Qin Yiheng did not deliberately use the Chu family and did not bring disaster to the Chu family, then I will put aside my old face, apologize to him in person, kneel down and kowtow, and follow his lead from now on."
After these words were spoken, many people wanted to offer advice, but this was perhaps too much of a gamble.
I never expected there to be an even bigger one.
Chu Wei continued, "On the contrary, it means that you, as the president of the Chu Family Group, are bad at judging people and are incapable of continuing to control power, so you should hand it all over."
Chu Ruoxue narrowed her eyes.
Ultimately, it all comes down to power.
The Chu family is large and prosperous, with a large population. There are always a few troublemakers. When Grandpa was alive, they didn't dare to cause trouble. If they did, the trouble would be quickly suppressed. Now that Grandpa is in poor health, these people are seizing on this and trying to find fault with them.
Although Chu Xiao is the head of the family, he is not a fully qualified one and feels very insecure in that position.
Chu Ruoxue, at such a young age, became the president of the Chu Group, which made many people envious.
Compared to seizing the position of family head, becoming the CEO is obviously easier.
Just as Chu Ruoxue was about to agree, she suddenly hesitated and looked up at Chu Wei.
Chu Wei's abilities are indeed remarkable, and he is standing right in front of us now, calm and confident, as if the position of president is within his grasp. What makes him so confident?
Chu Ruoxue hesitated, which gave Chu Wei more to say: "It seems you're reluctant to part with him? Or rather, you also feel that Qin Yiheng..."
"No, let's bet." Chu Ruoxue agreed readily, as if she had thought of something.
Chu Wei was taken aback, then slammed his hand on the table: "Good!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out outside, accompanied by bodyguards and guards shouting, "Who goes there?" "Don't go any further!" "Go and report it immediately!"...
The people inside the house were alarmed and went out to check.
The newcomers were all dressed in black and their faces were covered, making it impossible to discern their features. The Chu family members couldn't identify them at first either.
Chu Wei then called out, "The Luo family!"
A tall man stepped forward from the opposite side: "Where is the head of the Chu family?"
The commotion alerted Chu Xiao, who hurriedly came out and said, "I am Chu Xiao. Who are you?"
"Rongcheng, Luo family," the man announced.
Chu Wei was right after all, but how did he react so quickly?
In that instant, Chu Ruoxue felt as if she had grasped some important information, but she didn't have time to think about it carefully. After Chu Xiao asked them what their purpose was, the person said the following.
"Is Qin Yiheng here? Hand over Qin Yiheng, and I'll spare the lives of everyone in your Chu family. Otherwise, I'll raze the Chu family to the ground immediately!"
"What a boastful tone! Why should we hand Qin Yiheng over to you?" Chu Ruoxue stepped forward and questioned.
"Qin Yiheng killed my young master of the Luo family. The Luo family will not let him go, including those who protect him."
The pot exploded right there on the spot.
"What happened? Which young master of the Luo family was... killed by Qin Yiheng?"
"Who else could it be but Luo Yao!"
"Qin Yiheng is too audacious. How could he kill Luo Yao so easily? Isn't this implicating the Chu family?"
"Oh dear, no wonder the master just said that Qin Yiheng is the one who brought disaster to the Chu family."
"He was definitely up to no good from the very beginning. All that talk about helping the Chu family was just a ploy to manipulate and toy with them!"
"Now that we've offended the Luo family, what are we going to do? What are we going to do..."
"Needless to say, let them take Qin Yiheng away right now!"
Someone said this, and then everyone moved as far away from Qin Yiheng as possible, sending a message to the Luo family—he is Qin Yiheng, and he has nothing to do with us.
Chu Ruoxue also looked at Qin Yiheng in disbelief. She didn't intend to hand Qin Yiheng over, but she just couldn't believe that Qin Yiheng would kill Luo Yao. He had clearly said before that he wouldn't.
Qin Yiheng's face was expressionless; he simply pushed Jiang Yan toward Chu Ruoxue.
The Luo family members naturally saw what was going on: "So you're Qin Yiheng. Are you coming with us willingly, or will we cripple you and take you away?"
"Do whatever you want with him. He's not a member of the Chu family. If the Luo family has grievances and wants revenge, just go after Qin Yiheng." Chu Wei stepped forward and bowed to the Luo family members.
He was, after all, an elder of the Chu family, and his actions were highly inappropriate, yet no one criticized him.
"Nonsense! Why should we take Qin Yiheng away?" Chu Ruoxue blocked their way.
"Ruoxue, don't be so foolish. The Luo family is targeting Qin Yiheng. Are you going to sacrifice our entire Chu family for him?"
"The patriarch was right after all; you are simply not fit to be the head of the Chu family."
"Qin Yiheng must go with them; the Chu family will not give up such a large estate for him."
“That’s right. A century-old family business cannot be ruined by someone with a different surname, especially someone who has absolutely no connection to our Chu family…”
Chu Ruoxue trembled with anger. She turned her back to the Chu family members.
"How can you talk like that? Don't say I don't believe Qin Yiheng would kill someone. Even if he really killed Luo Yao, Luo Yao deserved it. Since you wanted to win him over before, there's no reason to kick him aside now that something has happened. Is handing him over the Chu family's style? Can you live with yourselves?"
Although Chu Ruoxue's words were very reasonable and she was very confident, she couldn't win an argument with so many people with just her words.
Chu Wei said awkwardly, "Ruoxue, you've seen it too. Nobody recognizes you as the person in charge anymore. You've already lost the bet."
“If Uncle wants a position, just take it. Why bother joining forces with the Luo family?” Chu Ruoxue glared at him.
Something flashed quickly in Chu Wei's eyes, and he immediately put on a heartbroken look: "What are you saying? How could I join forces with the Luo family to deal with you? I am a member of the Chu family!"
The crowd also criticized Chu Ruoxue, saying that she dared to say anything to protect Qin Yiheng, that she was disrespectful and that it was unnecessary for her to continue as president, as she could no longer win over the public.
"Ruoxue, you're still too young. Your uncle is only doing this for the good of the Chu family!" Chu Wei was heartbroken, clutching his chest and sobbing.
Chu Ruoxue was forced into a corner by them.
“Okay, then Uncle will be the president of the Chu Group from now on, but I’m sticking with Qin Yiheng!”
