"The patriarch also used to say that such a person is better as a friend than an enemy, otherwise there would be a disaster." Yu Xiatang spoke gravely:
"Back then, you didn't understand why the patriarch favored him more than you, but perhaps it was because the patriarch had already seen that this young man was no ordinary person. He wanted to make a good alliance with him so that Yu Family could rise step by step."
Yu Mingxiang looked down and thought about it, and eventually he sighed: "We are not as visionary as the patriarch!"
At least they hadn't seen that Hao Jian would become a big shot in the future.
"Although I don't know what Hao Jian has gone through over these years, my intuition tells me that he might have become the 'Emperor' the patriarch talked about. If it weren't for him this time, the patriarch would undoubtedly have died." Yu Xiatang said, then looked toward Yu Ou.
"From now on, you must follow him closely. Yu Family needs to leverage his power to reach new heights. The future of the family depends on you, understand?"
"Understood." Yu Ou nodded with a smile.
Though Yu Xiatang insisted on putting the family's fate on Hao Jian alone, Yu Mingxiang didn't object, because he also knew that Hao Jian indeed possessed the capabilities that warranted their full support.
Meanwhile, Yu Jiayi was glaring at Hao Jian with dissatisfaction, clearly mocking her for never being his match in her lifetime.
"Go to hell!" Yu Jiayi shouted angrily, leaping up and aiming both feet directly at Hao Jian's face.
But in an instant, she was pinned down to the ground by Hao Jian, who said somewhat exasperatedly:
"I just don't understand why you obsess over that one thing. Like when you use your mom's lipstick, wear her high heels, blow up your dad's condoms as balloons and I accidentally see. Why don't you get mad about that?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Yu Mingxiang became very animated.
"Hao Jian, I'm definitely going to kill you!"
Yu Jiayi was pinned down by Hao Jian, her face flushed with anger, murderous intent brewing in her heart. This damned jerk had just exposed all her embarrassing secrets.
"You really want to kill me?" Hao Jian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You have to die!" Yu Jiayi screamed at the top of her lungs, at her most frustrated.
"Fine, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Hao Jian snorted and addressed the crowd:
"Besides using her dad's condoms as balloons, she also put firecrackers in the patriarch's pipe. That's the incident where the patriarch got his face injured."
"Is that what happened those days? So it was you?" Yu Xiatang exclaimed in shock, staring at Yu Jiayi.
Yu Jiayi kept silent.
"Not only that, she used Uncle Yu's razor to shave her pet pig. After she was done, she put it back without washing it."
Yu Xiatang's face turned green.
"When she was playing hide and seek with Yu Ou, she locked him in the wardrobe and went home, causing Yu Ou to cry for days."
Yu Ou's face darkened too, obviously recalling that past incident.
"She also killed the Diamond Eagle that Yu Zhixun was raising."
Yu Zhixun glared furiously. That Diamond Eagle, he had bought for a large sum of money, he cherished it immensely, only for it to end up killed by Yu Jiayi?
"You also pilfered my second uncle's condoms and poked holes in them, why don't you mention that?" Yu Jiayi also exposed Hao Jian's old secrets.
"Hao Jian, you damn bastard, it turns out it was you, this bastard, who caused me so much suffering."
Yu Zhixun's wife was furious because giving birth to seven or eight children had severely deformed her figure.
Originally, Yu Zhixun and his wife had planned to have two children, but somehow they ended up with seven or eight; they had no idea what had happened, but here lay the truth.
"What's wrong with having a house full of children? I was contributing to the prosperity of your family; you should be grateful to me," Hao Jian retorted with a sneer.
"It's just a pity that while the quantity is there, the quality isn't much," Yu Ou couldn't help but add at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian immediately got upset and scolded, "You child, how can you be so frank? Don't you know he's your second uncle?"
"The illness is cured, the beating has been given, if there's nothing else, why don't you leave first?"
Yu Xiatang almost burst into tears; this kid had already been difficult to deal with before, but how was he even more troublesome now?
"Someone hold her down for me, I'm afraid if I let go, she'll bite me," Hao Jian told the people around him.
"I'll do it." Yu Mingxiang, the father, could only step forward helplessly.
"Let me go, I want to butcher that bastard!"
Yu Jiayi had just been grabbed by Yu Mingxiang when she immediately began to struggle violently, seeming determined not to rest until she had killed Hao Jian.
"Enough, stop making a fuss, you're no match for him," Yu Mingxiang said irritably, as their aim now was to try to ingratiate themselves with Hao Jian, and he absolutely would not allow Yu Jiayi to cause Hao Jian any more trouble.
"Impossible! I was just underestimating him, give me another chance, and I will definitely beat him so badly his own mother won't recognize him!" Yu Jiayi argued defiantly. To her, losing to anyone else might be bearable, but losing to Hao Jian was utterly unacceptable.
"Even if you tried ten more times, the result would be the same. He could block your strongest punch with just two fingers. Can't you see the gap between you? The only reason you dare to be so arrogant is that you rely on knowing he's been your childhood playmate and won't kill you."
Yu Mingxiang hummed in annoyance; if Hao Jian really wanted to kill Yu Jiayi, it would only take a moment to make her die horribly on the spot.
Yu Jiayi fell silent, finally feeling a bit guilty. Indeed, she also realized she was no match for Hao Jian.
The reason she dared to challenge Hao Jian to a fight was also because she knew Hao Jian wouldn't hurt her, so she dared to keep trying to defeat Hao Jian without any worries.
"He's not only the savior of our Yu Family but may also become a patron of the Yu Family; don't bother him anymore," Yu Mingxiang instructed Yu Jiayi.
"A patron? What can he do for our family?" Yu Zhixun scoffed disdainfully. Apart from hatred, he had no other feelings toward Hao Jian.
"Second brother, don't say I didn't warn you; Hao Jian is not someone we can provoke. You better not cause any conflict with him, or don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out of the Yu Family when the time comes."
Yu Xiatang gave Yu Zhixun a warning, telling him to be less presumptuous in the future.
"You think so? Have you really started seeing yourself as the Family Head?"
Yu Zhixun laughed angrily, clenching his teeth and glaring at Yu Xiatang, his heart also filled with annoyance.
