The implication was to have Hao Jian leave.
At this, both Yu Ou and Yu Jiayi were stunned; the old man really intended to drive Hao Jian away.
Even Yu Jiayi, who had never liked Hao Jian, couldn't help but start to sympathize with him now.
Seeing this, Yu Zhixun couldn't help but sneer triumphantly, "Did you hear that? Get lost quickly."
But Hao Jian acted as if he hadn't heard Yu Zhixun's words, nodding towards Yu Qianchong, "I understand."
Hao Jian stood up, but then he stopped next to Liang Jiankun. Seeing this, the Night Emperor quickly stepped forward to stand beside Liang Jiankun, warily watching Hao Jian, fearing he might harm Liang Jiankun.
Liang Jiankun also furrowed his brows, glancing at Hao Jian out of the corner of his eye.
"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to kill him, you alone couldn't stop me," Hao Jian said mockingly.
At his words, the Night Emperor's body shook, feeling insulted.
Hao Jian looked directly at Liang Jiankun, "You think you can disregard me, you think someone like me doesn't qualify to be your enemy, yet in reality, you're afraid of me."
"Afraid of you? Why would I be afraid of you?" Liang Jiankun sneered, why would he fear a dying man.
"If you're not afraid, then why did you bring bodyguards when you see me? I remember the first time we met, you didn't bring anything, right?" Hao Jian hit the nail on the head.
Liang Jiankun was taken aback, then immediately tried to retort.
But Hao Jian waved his hand with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to explain, it's clear enough in your own heart."
With that, he turned and left the Yu Family, with Yu Ou hurriedly following behind.
"Young Master, please take a seat!" Yu Zhixun eagerly gestured to Liang Jiankun, groveling like a lackey, while Yu Qianchong and the others had mixed feelings, finding it hard to swallow.
"I'm full," Yu Jiayi also stood up.
"How can you be full after just a few bites?" Yu Jiayi's mother asked.
"I feel sick today!" Yu Jiayi dropped this statement and also walked out.
"Hao Jian!" Yu Ou chased after him from behind.
"Why are you here? Aren't you going to eat with them?" Hao Jian turned around and looked at Yu Ou with a smile.
Yu Ou scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be so outrageous, I hope you don't take it to heart, my grandfather really didn't mean to do this, he had no choice."
Hao Jian waved his hand dismissively, "Stop talking nonsense. Aren't we family? The old man is also my grandfather, how could I be angry with him? And he didn't treat me as an outsider, that's why he sent me away, I know what he meant."
"You're not angry?" Yu Ou asked, astonished.
"Your father has taken the position of Family Head, why should I be angry?" Hao Jian said with a beaming smile.
"My dad has taken the position of Family Head? When did this happen? How could I not know?" Yu Ou was perplexed, like a Monk who is baffled.
Hao Jian laughed, "All of you failed to notice. When the old man asked me to leave just now, he gave me a meaningful glance and kicked my shoe with his foot. He was trying to tell me that he wouldn't let me be wronged for nothing. Yu Zhixun dared to bring Liang Jiankun here to make trouble, which also displeased the old man, so there is no way he would hand the position of Family Head to Yu Zhixun."
Yu Zhixun would never have imagined that a move he thought was clever could actually cost him his right to inherit.
He had planned to use Liang Jiankun's hand to drive away Hao Jian, and he had succeeded, but he also successfully aroused Yu Qianchong's animosity toward him.
"Really?" Yu Ou was taken aback, wondering how he had missed that.
"Of course it's true; just wait and see if you don't believe me," Hao Jian said with a smile. He and Yu Qianchong had known each other for so many years and had long since understood each other tacitly, so a single look or gesture from Yu Qianchong was enough for Hao Jian to grasp his meaning.
Yu Ou laughed heartily, "If Yu Zhixun knew about this, he would probably be pissed to death, right?"
"That's called reaping what you sow; since he did such a thing, he should pay the price. He overestimated his own smarts and underestimated the relationship between me and the old man," Hao Jian chuckled.
Yu Qianchong had said before that his relationship with Hao Jian was both as a teacher and a friend, profoundly deep, and not long ago, Hao Jian had even saved Yu Qianchong's life. However, Yu Zhixun had failed to realize this and had been repeatedly causing trouble for Hao Jian.
"Alright, don't worry about me anymore. Go back and join them," Hao Jian gestured for Yu Ou to go back, to avoid letting others talk later.
"And you?" Yu Ou asked.
"Me? I'll find some fun on my own!" Hao Jian chuckled mischievously.
A few minutes later, he appeared next to Liang Jiankun's car and took out his own car key.
"Think you're tough? Take a cab home later!" Hao Jian punctured several holes in Liang Jiankun's car tires, letting all the air out, then targeted Yu Zhixun's car.
This way, Yu Zhixun couldn't think about driving Liang Jiankun back home either.
It wasn't long before Liang Jiankun came out from the Ye Family's place. He hadn't come for dinner in the first place, so he casually ate a few bites and sat for a moment before leaving. Now that the deed was done, it was naturally time to make a graceful exit.
When Liang Jiankun saw his car tires completely deflated, he couldn't help but shake his head and wryly smile, "What a sore loser."
"Damn it, that kid also sabotaged my tires!" Yu Zhixun, gnashing his teeth in anger, said, "Young Master, wait here for a moment; I will go borrow a car from someone."
"Jiayi, lend me your car. I need to drive Young Master home," Yu Zhixun said to Yu Jiayi, who was passing by.
"I'm busy; I've got an emergency," Yu Jiayi said without turning her head as she walked toward her car.
"What kind of emergency could you possibly have?" Yu Zhixun said somewhat annoyed, as Yu Jiayi had made him lose face.
"Picking up girls at a bar," Yu Jiayi started the car.
"That counts as an emergency?"
"It might not to you, but it does to me," Yu Jiayi responded indifferently, then drove away.
"Forget it; I'll just take a cab home," Jiankun said, displeased, and then without waiting for Yu Zhixun to speak, he headed straight towards the Yu Family estate.
"Hao Jian, we are irreconcilable!" Yu Zhixun roared inwardly. He could tell that Liang Jiankun was genuinely angry as well.
Hao Jian walked down the dimly lit street, slowly gravitating toward home. The evening breeze was somewhat cold, carrying a hint of desolation and menace; Hao Jian unconsciously shrank his neck, cursing the damn weather.
Just then, Hao Jian's steps suddenly halted for half a second, and his eyelids also showed a hint of fierceness. In that instant, he had sensed a wisp of killing intent.
Without any surprise, that whisper of killing intent was directed at him, wasn't it?
Was it Liang Jiankun's bodyguard? Hao Jian thought to himself but quickly shook his head; that wasn't likely. That fellow wasn't brainless; he should know he was no match for me.
