âMr. Xuâs words seem to be too targeted at me.âOne of the directors looked at him with dissatisfaction. He immediately took out a stack of documents from the back of an assistant behind him and placed it heavily on the coffee table in the hall.
âSince weâre here today to discuss your background, of course, we have our reasons. Ten years ago, Mr. Xu was brooding over the fact that his son was taken away by a Russian family for so many years. However, according to our investigation, the Russian family who went to the United States to give birth had already lost their entire family in an accident twenty years ago. Then, you suddenly appeared, and your parents died by coincidence. In the end, you followed the clues and entered the Xu family. He also used too many coincidences to secure his position as the heir of the Xu family.â
âThese words donât seem to be so pleasant to hear here.âXu Yuan suddenly said unhappily,â Before Chengfeng entered the Xu family, he had already done a DNA test. The DNA test from ten years ago was enough to prove everything. Now, everyone wants to do a new test, but our father has passed away. Our father acknowledged Chengfeng as his son when he was alive, but after he passed away, everyone erased everything that he had acknowledged right after his burial ceremony. They even questioned Chengfengâs background and came up with these baseless speculations.â
âOur guess is not without basis, but we canât prove Mr. Xuâs identity 100%. Similarly, everything that the Xu family has offered canât prove his background and blood relationship. As weâve mentioned just now, from a certain perspective, the HR Corporation is a competitor of the Xu Corporation in the business world. Now that the head of the competitor is standing on the Xu familyâs side and wants to inherit the Xu familyâs assets, we definitely wonât agree.â
âSince you keep mentioning blood relations, although I donât really support Zuo Yue standing up, sheâs my daughter. I never intended for her to design too many business disputes. But now, standing here, Zuo Yue is my fatherâs granddaughter, yet you can find countless reasons to stop her from participating.âXu Yuan suddenly chuckled.â Just like what Chengfeng said, Zuo Yue canât do it, Chengfeng canât do it. As the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, I canât participate in the inheritance of the Xu family either.â The three of us who are most closely related to the Xu bloodline have all been denied. Could it be that the inheritance rights are going to be divided among others?â
It was rare for Xu Yuan to speak so forcefully and straightforwardly. It was even as sharp as Xu Chengfengâs seemingly casual yet forceful attitude.
The board member felt a little embarrassed by this question, but he still cleared his throat and said,âOf course, the inheritance rights should still be handed over to the real descendants of the Xu family. However, Xu Chengfengâs identity is unknown, so we suggest that we donât officially hand over the inheritance rights to him for now.â
Xu Yuan looked at them coldly.
Xu Chengfeng was still sitting quietly on the single-seater sofa, but he suddenly smiled faintly, as if he had already expected these peopleâs final words. He was not surprised at all.
Zuo Yue looked at the atmosphere, turned around, and went upstairs. After returning to her room, she closed the door and leaned against the door. She recalled how Xu Chengfeng had faced those self-righteous people from the Xu Corporation just now. She had never seen Xu Chengfeng so silent and forbearing before.
With his ability, if he really wanted to do something and really wanted to inherit the Xu familyâs assets, those directors probably wouldnât even have the chance to speak.
Now that he had given them the chance to stand here and shout, it seemed that he really had no intention of getting involved.
Those few people were really lucky to be able to point at Xu Chengfengâs nose and face in front of him. They were not afraid that they would not even know how they lost their lives in the future.
Wait a minute!
Why was she thinking about this?
Was he enduring it on purpose or had other plans? What did it have to do with her?
Zuo Yue pursed her lips and suddenly walked to the window with an ugly expression. She looked out the window, but her mind kept replaying the scene of Xu Chengfeng sitting quietly on the sofa and being questioned by the self-righteous directors.

That night, the Xu family returned to a rare silence.
Only a small number of guests stayed in the guest room of the Xu family.
In the quiet corridor, Xu Yuan walked to Xu Chengfengâs bedroom door and knocked on it. After knocking a few times, the door opened. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her, moved his hand away from the door, turned around, and walked in.
âChengfeng.â Xu Yuan walked in and saw him walking back to the window with one hand in his pocket. He must have something on his mind, so she didnât directly mention the matter of the directors today. Instead, she said,âAre you serious about letting Zuo Yue inherit the Xu familyâs assets? Or are you just using her to divert the topic?â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He only looked back at her.âDo you think Iâm joking?â
âAs you know, Zuo Yue studied medicine under my suggestion. She just went to Boston for half a year. Although she hasnât learned anything yet, I never really planned to let her set foot in the business world. Her father and I were usually too busy. Zuo Yue grew up in an environment like the Zuo family. Although she didnât lack food and clothing, she instinctively felt a sense of rejection towards the busy and unaccompanied elders. I also knew that she didnât want to ask too much about the business world. Moreover, I didnât want her to get involved in this kind of murderous environment.â
After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,ââI understand.â
âThen about the matter with those directors todayâ¦â
âI know what Iâm doing. Regardless of whether Iâll inherit it or not, I wonât let anyone with ill intentions take a share. Now that Iâm standing in the Xu family, you just have to remember what Iâm saying to you.â
Xu Yuan immediately laughed.â Thatâs enough. Ever since Dad passed away, the pressure from the board of directors has become heavier and heavier. Iâm on tenterhooks every day.ââ
âYouâre just a woman. Youâll be busy with the Zuo family business. You still have to worry about Zuo Hancheng in the country. Leave the Xu family business to me for the time being.âAs Xu Chengfeng spoke, he turned to look at the room that was lit not far away.
Zuo Yue was also standing in front of the window, but she did not see Xu Chengfeng, who was standing not far away from her.
She was opening the window to enjoy the cold wind. Her long hair fluttered behind her shoulders, and her face was a little pale, but it was only because she was cold. She was not sick.
Until she vaguely felt that someone was looking at her, and she subconsciously turned her head to the opposite side.
Xu Chengfeng casually closed the curtains casually, blocking Zuo Yueâs gaze.
Xu, who was behind him, saw him pause for a moment and then saw him draw the curtains. He asked in confusion,âWhatâs wrong?â
