The second brother and Yi Shu left after having dinner.
The eldest brother called the butler outside, speaking evasively and incoherently.
Xie Tuoyu happened to be smoking in the garden. He was standing in a dimly lit corner and heard the boss and the butler's conversation clearly.
Xie Tuoyu frowned. He knew that there were many sordid things in wealthy families, but he never expected that they would be so sordid as to commit patricide.
After stubbing out his cigarette, Xie Tuoyu turned around and was startled by Yi Tai, who had appeared behind him without him noticing.
Fortunately, the boss and the butler dispersed after their secret plot, otherwise Xie Tuoyu's exclamation would have definitely been noticed by them.
Xie Tuoyu frowned at Yitai: "What are you doing standing here?"
Yi Tai originally wanted to ask Xie Tuoyu where he and Yi Mu had been during this time, but unexpectedly overheard this.
He gritted his teeth in the dim light, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"Among us, the old man is the best to the eldest brother. This ungrateful bastard, I'm going to fucking kill him!"
The kid threatened to kill someone at the drop of a hat, and Xie Tuoyu helplessly pressed down on Yitai's shoulder.
"He's your own brother. If you kill him, your father will be the first to come after you."
"Stay put, we need to discuss this with your third brother."
The study at this very moment.
The old man vented his anger on Yi Mu, scolding him for being nearsighted and having poor eyesight!
"There are so many women in the world. I've already told you that as long as you like them, it doesn't matter what their family background is. I won't interfere."
"But you fucking like men? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Yi Mu said expressionlessly, "Men are people too. I think my views on choosing a partner are quite normal."
The old man clutched his chest, panting heavily.
"The future heir of a top 100 listed company is gay. How many percentage points do you think the company's stock will drop once this news gets out?"
Yi Mu looked up at him, not quite understanding.
"I already said that last time..."
The old man slammed his hand on the table.
"That kid Yitai's mind isn't on the company at all. What, do you want me to be worrying about company matters when I'm seventy or eighty?"
Yi Mu remained silent.
They all knew that if the eldest and second eldest sons completely took over the company, then in a few decades, no, maybe just a few years, the company would definitely go astray.
However, if Yi Mu takes over the company, then his relationship with Xie Tuoyu cannot be made public, which is something Yi Mu does not want to see.
The old man sighed when he saw that he didn't say a word.
I don't know if it's because I was too promiscuous when I was young and this is karma, but the children I have are all strange.
"I'll compromise. There are many children in the family, so I won't force you to marry a woman, but you must never announce your sexual orientation to the outside world."
In this way, the responsibility of succession eventually fell to Yi Mu.
Yimu agreed to the old man's request, but he had one condition.
"I hope that if Tuoyu comes back for dinner in the future, your expression will be a little more peaceful."
He is my lover. If you treat him coldly, I will consider never setting foot in our home again.
The old man simply didn't know what to say.
They're only in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship right now, no, a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, yet Yi Mu is already so protective of Xie Tuoyu.
Who knows what will happen if they get married in the future.
Fortunately, the Yi family has many children. The eldest son has three children, the second son has twins, and there is also Yitai, so there is no fear of having no successor.
The old man nodded in agreement.
He thought for a moment, then asked Yi Mu with an awkward expression, "That guy, is he good to you?"
Yi Mu paused for a moment, then understood the old man's unspoken meaning, and his expression softened considerably.
"Don't worry, he and his family are very kind to me."
All parents are the same; they are afraid that their children will be wronged.
