With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Three days later, at the entrance of the Ji family villa.

The black sedan had already started, its engine emitting a low hum.

Ye Yaocheng opened the car door, and Ji Mingyue silently sat in the back seat.

Today she was wearing a well-tailored dark business suit, her long hair was neatly tied up, and her makeup was exquisite, but she couldn't hide the fatigue in her eyes.

Ji Zheng and his wife then got into the car.

The whole family remained silent with somber expressions throughout.

"Dad, Mom."

Ye Yaocheng got into the driver's seat and looked at the three people in the back seat through the rearview mirror: "Relax, it's not over yet."

Ji Zheng sighed heavily.

"Xiao Ye, you don't understand." He shook his head: "Today, the position of president... is a done deal."

His voice was hoarse: "The possibility of change is extremely slim, almost... impossible."

Li Yuxiu held her husband's hand, which was trembling slightly.

Compared to the couple, Ye Yaocheng and Ji Mingyue appeared much calmer.

Ye Yaocheng and Ji Mingyue exchanged a glance through the rearview mirror.

Ji Mingyue nodded gently. In her eyes, there was weariness, but even more so, a quiet resolve.

The car drove into the city center and finally stopped in front of a magnificent skyscraper.

The four gilded characters "Ji Group" on the building remained conspicuous under the gloomy sky.

The Ji family was able to become a newly emerging first-class family because it kept up with the times.

He started his business in real estate and made a fortune during the industry's heyday.

With the real estate market in decline, the Ji family has already transformed itself and now owns several large subsidiaries.

The pharmaceutical company headed by Ji Mingyue is one of the top-performing assets of the Ji family in recent years.

The four people got out of the car and walked into the lobby.

The elevator leads directly to the top-floor conference room, a heavy double wooden door that exudes an air of authority.

Ji Zheng took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Inside the door, the view suddenly opened up to a huge office with an area of ​​over 200 square meters.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer a bird's-eye view of half of Linjiang City.

The office was already full of people.

The person at the head of the group was a robust elderly man sitting in the main seat.

His hair was gray, but his back was straight and his eyes were sharp.

It is Ji Danian, the current head of the Ji family.

To Ji Danian's left sat Ji Yun and his son Ji Baoyu.

Besides them, there were more than twenty other people sitting in the conference room.

These people are all senior veterans of various industries within the Ji family.

It can be said that all the family members who were supposed to be here today have arrived.

As the door opened and the four people walked in, everyone turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes focused on them.

When they saw that it was Ji Zheng and his group, everyone's expressions were different.

Some shook their heads sadly, some were filled with regret, but most were disdainful.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely oppressive.

In fact, everyone understands one thing: Ji Mingyue is better able to manage a company.

With her around, I believe that in a few years, the Ji family will definitely rise to a higher level.

Unfortunately, circumstances are beyond our control; some things are predetermined at birth.

No matter how outstanding you are, it's useless.

The heir of a family must be a male.

Moreover, the current head of the family is quite old and has become extreme in his views on the tradition of "passing down the family business to sons but not daughters".

To put it bluntly, the president is the future clan leader, or the young clan leader.

How could the old man possibly let Ji Mingyue, a woman, take on this role?

"You're here?"

Ji Yun was the first to speak, his gaze sweeping over Ye Yaocheng with disdain.

"Today is an important family meeting, so it's best if irrelevant people don't show up."

"It's a minor issue that it's an eyesore, but if it were to leak the family's secrets, the impact on the Ji family would be enormous."

These words refer to Ye Yaocheng.

"Ji Yun!"

Li Yuxiu suddenly stood up: "What do you mean by this?!"

She pointed at Ye Yaocheng: "Xiao Ye is my son-in-law, he's practically a member of the Ji family, so why isn't he qualified to participate?!"

"Sister-in-law," Ji Yun said slowly, straightening her collar, "this guy is just a useless piece of trash."

"You know better than I why we chose a son-in-law in the first place."

He looked at Li Yuxiu with a mocking gaze: "What should be discarded now should be discarded."

"The Ji family...does not support idlers."

"Ji Yun!" Li Yuxiu trembled with anger. "Watch your mouth!"

She yelled, "My family's affairs are none of your business!"

"That's enough!"

At the head of the table, Ji Danian slammed his fist on the table!

"This is a family meeting, not a market!"

He surveyed the room, his voice authoritative: "No manners whatsoever! What kind of behavior is this!"

His gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally lingering on Ye Yaocheng for a second.

The disdain in his eyes flashed by in an instant.

"I said before that whoever can cooperate with the Wang family will become the new president."

He looked at Ji Mingyue: "Ji Mingyue is quite good, able to connect with the Wang family, but the one who truly cooperated with the Wang family... is Ji Baoyu."

"Therefore, the position of president will be held by Ji Baoyu."

He looked at everyone and said, "Does anyone have any objections? If not, then it's decided."

"I agree!" Ji Yun was the first to stand up.

As soon as he made his statement, seven or eight people in the conference room immediately stood up at the same time!

"agree!"

"Support Young Master Baoyu!"

These people were all high-ranking members who had long been aligned with Ji Yun.

Soon, apart from the three white-haired elders who remained silent, almost all the other members of the Ji family expressed their agreement.

Ji Yun watched this scene with a satisfied smile, then turned and gave Ji Zheng and Li Yuxiu a provocative look.

The smugness in his eyes was undisguised.

"Ji Zheng," Ji Danian looked at his eldest son, "Do you have any opinions on this side?"

Ji clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm.

He remained silent for a few seconds.

"I have a problem with that."

He looked up at his father: "And... he has a lot of opinions about it."

Ji Danian's eyes instantly turned cold.

"This is the result of my daughter's hard work!" Ji Zheng's voice began to tremble. "Why should we give it to someone else?!"

He pointed at Ji Baoyu: "Anyone can handle this cooperation!"

He roared, "I! Refuse! To! Be! Into! This!"

Anger flashed in Ji Danian's eyes.

He never expected that his son, who always obeyed him, would dare to speak like that in such a situation.

To be honest, today's events were just a formality.

"Uncle," Ji Baoyu suddenly spoke.

He stood up, a "poor" smile on his face: "What you said is incorrect."

As the saying goes, results matter more than anything else.

"I admit, my cousin's achievements are commendable, but in the end... didn't something still go wrong?"

"Ji Baoyu!"

Ji Zheng suddenly looked at him: "You two know perfectly well what happened to Mingyue!"

He pointed at Ji Yun and his son: "Stop with the crocodile tears!"

Ji Yun's face turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Baoyu gently pressed down on his father's hand.

"Dad." He gave Ji Zheng a look, then smiled at Ji Zheng: "Uncle, people have to accept 'stains'."

He walked to the front of the conference room, picked up the remote control, and pressed the button:

"Look... what's this?"

"Whoosh—"

The conference room's huge display screen lit up instantly!

A photo appears on the screen!

The photo shows her from behind.

But you can recognize at a glance that the man in the middle is Ye Yaocheng.

On his left and right sides stood two beautiful women.

It was Wang Shiyu and Su Mei!

The photo was taken from a very unusual angle, and it looks like the three of them have an extremely close relationship.

At this moment, Ji Zheng, who had been furious, suddenly calmed down.

He stared wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief.

"Ye Yaocheng..."

"you!!!"

His body began to tremble: "So that's why you're always running off outside..."

"I thought Mingyue had done something to you..."

"So, it was you who used the family's money to support other women!"

"Dad, I—"

Ye Yaocheng was about to explain.

"Stop talking!"

Ji Zheng abruptly interrupted him: "Ye Yaocheng!"

"You bastard, all our efforts... are going to be ruined by you!"

Ye Yaocheng turned his head and looked at Ji Mingyue.

But Ji Mingyue was also looking at him with cold eyes.

"Ye Yaocheng." Her voice was soft, but every word was as cold as a knife, piercing to the bone.

"You really... have disappointed me so much."

Li Yuxiu's eyes dimmed completely as she watched this scene.

She had thought Ye Yaocheng was different from other spoiled brats from other families.

Unexpectedly, she was wrong.

"Alright," Ji Baoyu said with a smile, "this farce can end here."

"If we continue, we'll be disgracing the entire family."

He looked at Ye Yaocheng with a mocking gaze: "This son-in-law, no, he should be... an outsider, please leave."

He said, slowly and deliberately, "The Ji family does not welcome you."

Ye Yaocheng looked at Ji Baoyu, then at the photo on the screen.

Finally, he looked at Ji Zheng and Ji Mingyue and said softly, "Dad, Mingyue, I can explain this."

"go out!"

Ji Zheng pointed to the door: "I don't want to hear what you're saying right now!"

Ye Yaocheng remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he looked at Ji Baoyu.

"Remember who you are now."

He said calmly, "You'll regret this later."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards—

"Click".

The door was pushed open.

A figure walked in.

Everyone turned to look at the doorway at the same time.

She was a young woman wearing a business suit.

Her short hair was neat and her eyes were sharp.

It was Xiao Cui.

She stood at the doorway, her gaze sweeping across the entire room.

Finally, he took a deep look at Ye Yaocheng, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

She entered the conference room, her voice clear and crisp: "What happened?"

"Let me hear it too."
