Chapter 686: 686, give it directly to me.
The old man heavily slammed the tea cup on the table, then angrily smashed it on the ground: “You’re truly a unfilial son!”
Fragments of the cup splashed everywhere, with some landing on Shi Yuhuan.
He didn’t care, and casually brushed it off, asking indifferently, “Grandfather, when you scold me as being unfilial, have you ever considered whether you’ve fulfilled your duties as a grandfather, whether you’ve truly treated me as your grandson?”
The old man was livid, roaring, “Bastard, do you think you’re an insignificant ant? If I didn’t consider you my grandson, why would I have sent you abroad to study, why would you have achieved what you have today? Now you’ve grown wings, thinking grandfather is old, are you planning to drive me to my grave?”
Shi Xiuren has always been a fierce and domineering man; it was best not to provoke him, otherwise he would hunt you down until there was no chance of recovery, as was evident in the case of Li Wei.
He was extremely strict with his own grandson, not tolerating Shi Yuhuan’s disrespect and insolence.
Shi Yuhuan maintained his silence, only staring at the old man with a deep gaze.
His expression was indifferent, it was clear that he wasn’t the least bit frightened or anxious because of the old man’s words.
The old man angrily said again, “Shi Yuhuan, you’ve profoundly disappointed me. How could you ever think that I would want to frame you for murder? Although I’ve suppressed your company before, without those suppressions, could your Times Group have reached its current scale? How can you not understand all I’ve done is for your own good?”
If it were in the past, Shi Yuhuan would have felt gratitude upon hearing these words.
However, when he heard them now, he only felt their irony.
Shi Yuhuan was silent, and after a while, he asked, “Are you saying that I should be grateful for your grooming?”
The old man coldly huffed, “There’s no need for gratitude. You’re the future successor of the Times Group, I must be strict with you.”
Following his words, Shi Yuhuan suddenly said, “In that case, grandfather, why don’t you hand over the Times Group to me now and then you can enjoy your retirement.”
This move clearly caught Shi Xiuren off guard.
He narrowed his eyes coldly, and then lightly laughed, “That would be great; after all, I’ve always wanted to hand over the Shi Family business to you, and then enjoy a peaceful retirement. But since you’ve been unwilling, I’ve had no choice but to continue managing the business myself, despite my advanced age. Today, now that you’ve proposed to take over, I should be happy to agree, but given your performance today, I still need to see whether you are indeed capable of being a competent successor.”
His expression was cold, even his laughter was tinged with an icy chill, making Shi Yuhuan find him terrifyingly unfamiliar.
Shi Yuhuan felt it was tragic. How could his own grandfather treat him so coldly?
He considered himself a cold-hearted person, but he still left a margin of leeway for Annuo, and for the people of the Shi family.
But why, in his grandfather’s eyes, expressions, and tone, could he not find a shred of affection?
If we’re talking about coldness, then nobody could surpass him.
Word by word, they came out from Shi Yuhuan’s pursed lips, “If I say, regardless of whether grandfather needs to assess me, I decide to take over the Shi family now, would you agree?”
Deathly silence filled the living room.
Shi Xiuren took a deep, disbelieving breath.
Looking at Shi Yuhuan with great pain, he demanded, “Just because I scolded you, you want to kill me and take over the entire Shi family? Aren’t you afraid…?”
