Chapter Forty-Six: Tear Down the Four Characters of the Huangpu Group

Page 1/3

People’s Hospital of City A

“Grandmother, you must stand up for me! Huangpu Shenqing actually dared to hit me with his car.”

She’d hit her head directly against the vehicle, and the doctor had diagnosed her with a mild concussion.

A long gash stretched across her forehead, freshly stitched. A scar would inevitably remain—this was all Huangpu Shenqing’s doing.

“Was it really Huangpu Shenqing who hit you? Why would he do that?”

“Isn’t it all because of that wretched Shangguan Renran? He’s actually done this to me over an outsider, time and again. Tell me, is he even still part of the Huangpu family?”

“He doesn’t consider himself a member of the Huangpu family. If he could renounce the name, he would. Tell me the truth—what did you do to Shangguan Renran?”

Only Jun Ruohan remained in the hospital room. Bai Ting had gone out to get food. The old Master Huangpu and Huangpu Rong were on their way.

As for Huangpu Qing’an, who knew which bar he was at now?

“I… I just accidentally bumped into her. How was I supposed to know that bastard Huangpu Shenqing would overreact like that?”

“I hope you’re telling the truth. When your grandfather arrives, you’d better keep your mouth shut. Not a single word about anything you shouldn’t say. Understand?”

“I understand.”

—

“Father, you must do something about this. He’s grown completely lawless—hitting Qingyin with his car over an outsider! He clearly has no respect for you or the Huangpu family at all.”

In the back seat sat the old Master Huangpu and Huangpu Rong.

Hearing Huangpu Rong’s words, the old master tightened his grip on his obsidian cane, a symbol of his authority.

He narrowed his eyes. His aged face carried an undeniable aura of command. “I’ll make sure he gives Qingyin an explanation.”

He had been the one to elevate him to the presidency of the Huangpu Group; he could just as easily pull him down. If this heir proved disobedient, he had no qualms about choosing another.

In the front passenger seat, Huangpu Rong’s assistant answered a call from the company. “Hello? This is Assistant Wang.”

“Yes, this is he.”

“Hello, this is the Secretariat of the Huangpu Group. The President has just issued an order to dismiss Manager Huangpu and Assistant Wang from their posts. If you have any questions, please contact the President’s office. You may come collect your belongings now if it’s convenient. Thank you for your cooperation.”

The call ended abruptly, leaving Assistant Wang in shock.

“What happened?” Huangpu Rong demanded.

“Manager, the President… he’s dismissed us.”

“What did you say? How dare he! Father, did you hear that? He’s throwing me out of the company!”

“We’re not going to the hospital—head straight to the company. I want to see exactly what he’s up to,” the old master’s commanding voice rang out.

The sparrow in his hand was finally trying to fly away.

…

“President, the old Master Huangpu and Huangpu Rong have arrived,” Mo Yi announced. He knew something in the President had shifted from the moment Miss Shangguan was hurt.

“Let them in.”

When the old master and Huangpu Rong entered, Huangpu Shenqing kept his head down, eyes on his documents, neither looking up nor greeting them, as if they didn’t exist at all.

“My, you’ve become quite the big shot. Have you truly forgotten your own surname?” Huangpu Rong sneered, helping the old master to the sofa.

“I know my own name—I don’t need you to remind me,” Huangpu Shenqing replied coldly, tossing the file aside.

“So this is how you speak to me now? Don’t forget—it was I who put you in this position,” the old master said, tapping his cane on the marble floor, the sound sharp and jarring.

“Is that so? I thought you simply couldn’t find a better heir and had no choice but to let me take over. Don’t flatter yourself that I covet this seat. If not for my father, I wouldn’t have stepped foot in this place—I find it filthy.”

“What… what did you say?” The old master could hardly believe his ears.

“So this is how you treat your own grandfather? You throw me out of the company and run over Qingyin—have you truly become so reckless?” Huangpu Rong rose, his anger barely contained.

“Heh. Since you won’t discipline your daughter, I have no qualms about doing it for you. This isn’t over yet. You’d best pray she leaves the hospital alive,” Huangpu Shenqing’s voice was icy, utterly devoid of compassion.

“What is it you want? To turn the entire Huangpu family upside down for the sake of a woman?” the old master challenged, rising to confront him.

“From this day forward, I am simply Huangpu Shenqing—no longer connected to the Huangpu family. And you are never to set foot in this place again. I’ll be changing the company’s name. Pack up your things and get out.”

“You… unfilial scoundrel… I am your grandfather! How dare you—” The old master clutched his chest, nearly apoplectic with rage.

“Father, please, calm yourself. I’ll let the world know what a heartless brute Huangpu Shenqing is—expelling his own uncle, injuring his own sister, and now defying his grandfather to seize power for himself.”

“Uncle? Sister? Grandfather? Have you forgotten? The moment I left for overseas, I severed all ties with you. Don’t compare me to yourselves—I find it revolting.”

Huangpu Shenqing’s voice dropped to a frigid whisper. “Mo Yi, throw them out. Inform everyone: from now on, no one bearing the surname Huangpu is allowed in here—except me. Remove the words ‘Huangpu Group’ from the building.”

“Yes, I’ll see to it at once.” Mo Yi bowed to Huangpu Shenqing, then gestured toward the pair. “Gentlemen, please leave.”

“You… both of you—”

“Father, let’s go for now,” Huangpu Rong said, restraining his fury.

“Hmph. Huangpu Shenqing, you really have outdone yourself,” the old master spat, trembling with wrath.
