n will not let you off."Though the Green Snake was in their hands, she remained fearless. She didn't know what fear was, her heart was now filled only with anger."You stupid bitch, even at the brink o...Ouyang Wudi silently watched outside the window, squinting his eyes, while the butler gently kneaded his back.

After a long while, Ou Yang Wudi finally spoke in a soft voice, "Have you found out anything"

The steward nodded heavily and said, "I've found out."

After a pause, he continued, "The young master has had dealings with the Li family, and in fact, he's been going to their estate frequently these past few days."

"Shi Shi is a member of the Li family, and Ying Liang going to the Li family is not a big deal." Ouyang Wu Di frowned and said.

"But Madam has also met with that woman from the Li family, as well as Miss Sikong Yanran." The butler sighed softly and uttered these words.

As if on cue, upon hearing those words, he saw a change in Ou Yang Wu Di's expression. It instantly turned cold and grim. A profound sense of melancholy emanated from him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

After a moment of silence, OuYang Wudi finally opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with disappointment and dejection. He let out a sigh and said in a low voice, "Yingliang has ultimately disappointed me."

"Perhaps the young master has his own thoughts. Everyone in the family looks down on him, thinking he's a useless person. He might be looking for a way out for himself." The steward defended with a side comment.

"Could my son, the son of Ouyang Wudi, be a wimp" A proud look flashed across Ouyang Wudi's face. He snorted coldly and continued, "As long as he doesn't do anything to harm the Ouyang family, let him be. Yingliang was raised under my watchful eye. That child's personality is too weak. This time counts as a kind of tempering."

Hearing that it wasn't Ouyang Yingliang who was at fault, a hint of pleasure flashed in the steward's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared.

"What about Lao Er and Lao San What about those old fellows What are they doing" Ouyang Wudi placed the smoking pipe on the side table, then asked. There was no warmth in his face as he spoke, it was even filled with majesty and coldness.The "Master" steward seemed to dare not speak, hesitating and looking indecisive.

"Do you have anything else to hide from me" Seeing the steward's expression, OuYang Wudi frowned and said coldly.

They are sorting out the family's assets, and they discuss matters in the council chamber every day. Since the sea change, they have been arguing every day about whether to form alliances with other families.

"Is that so" Ouyang Wudi seemed to have guessed it all along, a disdainful sneer flashing across his face.

"Hmph, I'm not dead yet. Like we're dividing up the inheritance This bunch of wastrels." Ouyang Wudi slapped his hand on the wheelchair, saying coldly, "You keep an eye on them all. See what they say, what they do, and who they contact."

"Mhm." The butler nodded slightly.

"By the way, what has Ouyang Min been busy with recently" Ouyang Wudi remembered something and turned to ask the butler.

He had been working at the family's company. According to your meaning, four years ago he started from the bottom of the company and now has reached middle management. Moreover, his identity in the company has always been kept secret, so few people inside the company know that he is the son of the second young master. The steward immediately reported to Ouyang Wudi: "And Ouyang Min's performance in the company is commendable, and his external network of contacts is also very wide."

Hearing the butler's words, Ouyang Wudi nodded slightly and then asked, "Does he have dealings with other families' young masters"

"He gets along well with Ding Can," the housekeeper said, his face changing slightly.

"Huh" Ou Yang Wu Di's expression clearly startled, his face even flashing a look that was impossible to read: "He and Ding Chan get along well Why didn't he report it to me before"

"In the past, to cultivate good relationships with other families, you had the younger generation of the family make as many friends as possible. Ou Yang Min and Ding Chan were high school classmates and have kept in touch ever since. They just became closer over the past two years." The butler told Ou Yang Wu Di everything he knew.

“Ding Can is a good friend,” Ouyang Wudi muttered to himself. After Changsun Ouyang Yu’s death, he began looking for the next heir within the entire family. After all, he was getting older and could leave this world at any time. If he didn't choose a successor before he left and pave the way for everything, the Ouyang family, which had finally thrived under his leadership, would probably decline soon.

However, among the elders of his clan, he couldn't possibly choose these people. They were all elderly and their thinking was rigid and stubborn. They were a bunch of die-hard conservatives who were unwilling to reform, fearing that their vested interests would be harmed. Besides, these people had deep roots in the family, with extensive power networks. When doing things, they naturally couldn't be fair. There were also grievances between them, and they inevitably fell into internal strife. As for his nephews and grandchildren, there weren't any outstanding talents among them. Although Ouyang Yingliang, one of his three sons, was qualified, he lacked the courage and decisiveness that a patriarch should possess. The other two sons were incompetent. As for the other nephews, Ouyang Wudi didn't want to appoint any of them as patriarchs either.

Among the three generations, he had finally cultivated Ouyang Yu, but he was unfortunately met with a disaster, which disrupted his deployment. Fortunately, there were many outstanding talents in the third generation. Ouyang Min was the son of Ouyang Yingke, the second son. He received top-notch training from birth. He also attended the world's top business school and later the family hired renowned economists and experts in corporate management to guide him. In terms of personal ability, he was comparable to Ouyang Yu.

However, at the beginning, Ou Yang Wu Di considered Ou Yang Ying Liang's awkward position in the family and wanted to use Ou Yang Yu to compensate, so that after his death, no one would bully him. But now he has to choose again for the sake of the family's interests.

Undoubtedly, Ou Yang Min was the first to catch his eye. Ou Yang Wu Di was still a person who welcomed reform. Therefore, he hoped that the successor of the Ou Yang family would be a courageous and bold young man who could quickly absorb fresh knowledge.

But when he heard that Ou Yang Min and Ding Chan got along well, he still felt a sense of discomfort in his heart. Although Ding Chan was very talented, he always gave people the feeling of being ambitious and eager for quick results. Moreover, now that Ding Chan was involved in the internal power struggle within the family, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious in the end.

If given a choice, Ouyang Wudi would rather believe that Ding Ran was the ultimate victor. He had seen through that woman's methods and knew that Ding Chan was no match for her. To help her brother become the head of the family, she was even willing to eliminate her own father's brother. This showed just how ruthless and powerful her mind was.

If Ou Yang Min is also involved in Ding Chan's matter, if Ding Chan fails, the Ding family and the Ou Yang family will become enemies. Ou Yang Wu Di doesn't want to see his family facing endless revenge from the Ding family after he dies.

...especially from that woman of extraordinary skill.

Ding Ran and Ou Yang Min are the same age, but compared to Ding Ran, Ou Yang Min is far inferior.oss is great!”Li Nanfang had only lost his memory, and no longer recognized anyone like Yue Zidong or Huaye Shen. Only then could he, according to the lies fabricated by her and Lu Hang, treat her as...
