Chapter seven hundred and seventy-four is related to the rise and fall of the family
Seeing his expression, Liang Fei could guess without even thinking that Cheng Antai was not only familiar with the middle-aged man in the floral shirt, but also had an unusual relationship with them.
"Yes, it's me!"
The second master seemed to have long expected what kind of expression Cheng Antai would have when he saw him, so he acted extremely calmly.
His eyes were full of complicated emotions. He glanced at Cheng Antai and said: "Old Cheng, you are an old man of our Ouyang family. You must know the appropriateness in whatever you do. What should be done and what should not be done?
Do it, I think you should have the confidence in your heart!"
"This...Second Master, please forgive me for not understanding what you mean by this?"
Cheng Antai was startled when he heard this and looked at the second master blankly. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Second master, you are absolutely right. I, Cheng Antai, am an old man of the Ouyang family. I have been with the family since I was a child.
Following Mr. Ouyang, the reason why I am where I am today is entirely due to the kindness of Mr. Ouyang.
If you, Second Master, dislike me and want to kill me, I will have no complaints or regrets, but if you stop me from saving the old master, I really don’t understand your intentions, and I find it hard to obey!"
Although the conversation between the two was brief, Liang Fei heard it clearly. It was obvious that this second master was also from the Ouyang family, and he was probably a direct descendant of the Ouyang family, or even the second son of Mr. Ouyang.
son!
A direct descendant of the family actually tried every means to prevent Cheng Antai from asking someone to treat his father. What was the intention behind this?
"Old Cheng, don't blame me for doing this. In fact, I also have difficulties that I can't explain."
Liang Fei's guess was absolutely correct. This second master was none other than Mr. Ouyang's second son, Ouyang Jieming.
After listening to Cheng Antai's words, Ouyang Jieming showed a bitter look on his face and said: "Old Cheng, you also know that the boss is a weak and incompetent person, but just because he is the eldest son, the old man has always been
I prefer him and want to pass on the title of head of the family to him. But I have worked hard for the family over the years, but I can't get anything. In the future, I will have to endure the humiliation and humiliation at the hands of the boss. I am really not willing to do it!"
"Ouyang Jieming, you are simply unconscionable!"
When Cheng Antai heard this, he immediately became angry, pointed at Ouyang Jieming, and shouted loudly: "Who will be the head of the family in the future is entirely decided by the old man. Although the old man is not as powerful as you, he is kind-hearted and has a sense of the overall situation.
The family can develop steadily in the future. It was with this in mind that the old man decided to pass on the position of head of the family to him.
This matter has been decided, and you had no objections earlier, but I didn't expect that you would take advantage of the old man's serious illness to come up with all kinds of tricks and try to stop me from saving the old man. Your intentions are too sinister."
"snort!"
Facing Cheng Antai's scolding, Ouyang Jieming not only did not feel ashamed at all, but became angry and shouted loudly: "What ability does my eldest brother have? He is not worthy of the position of the head of the family at all. I am the only candidate for the future head of the family.
The old man is partial and you are confused, but I will never give up. Since the old man won’t give me the position of head of the family, what if I use my own strength to grab it?"
"You...you are clearly rebelling!"
Cheng Antai was also furious at Ouyang Jieming's words and shouted angrily.
He is an extremely loyal person, and he is even more loyal to the Ouyang family. Of course, he will not watch the Ouyang family have civil strife. He immediately tried to persuade Ouyang Jieming to give up this crazy fight for the heir: "The old man is critically ill now.
The situation in the Ouyang family is unstable. If you make a fuss like this, other families will easily find opportunities to attack us!
Our Ouyang family is originally at the bottom among the four major families in the provincial capital. If we are attacked by other families again, our vitality will inevitably be severely damaged, and we may even withdraw from the ranks of the four major families. Have you ever thought of such consequences?"
At this point, Cheng Antai's expression was already very excited. He paused and tried to persuade Ouyang Jieming again: "Jiming, I watched you grow up and I know your abilities. But this is a family matter.
You must not be so impulsive about the rise and fall of the family. Isn’t it your position as the head of the family? It’s okay if you don’t want it!”
"Humph, I don't mind if I don't want one!"
Unexpectedly, after Ouyang Jieming heard this, he was not moved at all and shouted angrily: "I am more capable than my elder brother, why can't I be the head of the family? The old man is confused, are you also confused? Do you really think that I will be the head of the family?"
Will the family develop greatly if it is left in the hands of a mediocre man? No! I will never give up!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Jieming was still very emotional, waving his hands and shouting with assurance: "Lao Cheng, don't worry, everything you worry about is under my consideration.
I have made careful arrangements, as long as you listen to me and stand on my side. We work together to ensure that after the old man returns to the west, we can improve the overall strength of our Ouyang family. By then, even if we are on the top four
Being the head of the family is not impossible!"
When Ouyang Jieming was speaking, his eyes were shining with a burning light, like a ferocious beast that wanted to choose someone to devour.
Although Liang Fei didn't know this person well, he could definitely see that he was a very ambitious person with a strong desire for expansion. If in ancient times, if he really came to power, he would definitely be a tyrant who would bring disaster to the country and the people, and bring ruin to all living beings.
"No, I will never stand on your side!"
Although Cheng Antai usually behaves like an old fox, he does not know why but he is extremely considerate when it comes to dealing with the Ouyang family. At this time, when he heard Ouyang Jieming's rebellious remarks, he rarely expressed himself
position.
"Cheng Antai, although I value you very much, it doesn't mean that you can be so presumptuous in front of me!"
Being yelled like this by Cheng Antai, Ouyang Jieming suddenly felt that he was losing his face. He glared at Cheng Antai with an angry look on his face and said: "If you think that I have sent killers to deal with you before, I apologize to you here. But if you
He is determined to target me and ruin my good deeds... Humph, you know what the result will be!"
Ouyang Jieming said the last sentence through gritted teeth, which shows that he has endured it again and again in front of Cheng Antai.
Thinking about who he is, the second master of the Ouyang family is the most powerful person in the entire family except Mr. Ouyang.
And who is Cheng Antai? He's just an old servant of the Ouyang family. Ouyang Jieming thinks that he has lowered his profile now. If this old boy doesn't give him face anymore and continues to show off his nose, he doesn't mind putting him on the face.
He was destroyed.
Anyway, from Ouyang Jieming's point of view, Cheng Antai is the old man's man and is die-hardly loyal to the old man. His actions are aimed at the old man. It seems unlikely that he can win his support!
Since there is no such possibility, then why not just do nothing to get rid of this hidden danger.
"Second Master, good advice is hard to the ears but good to the deeds, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth but good to the sick. I hope you can listen to my words and stop causing civil strife in the family. As long as you are willing, I will pretend that everything you have done before has never happened!"
Cheng Antai glanced at Ouyang Jieming with a look of sorrow on his face, and his expression was full of expectation. He was indeed eagerly hoping that Ouyang Jieming could turn around. If he is allowed to continue the civil strife like this, the Ou family will surely perish!
These words indeed came from Cheng Antai's heart. However, when he finished speaking, he saw that not only did Ouyang Jieming show no regrets, but he even stared at him with disdain, he knew that he had failed just now.
It's just useless work.
At that moment, he shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Hey, since you don't listen to my advice, Second Master, there is nothing I can do about it. Since we have no common language, there is no point in staying here any longer, so I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Cheng Antai quickly winked at Liang Fei, signaling them to leave this place of right and wrong.
However, seeing that he thought of things so simply, Liang Fei spread his hands and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Ouyang Jieming must have been planning hard for a long time in order to become the head of the family, including attracting Cheng Antai this time. Now that Cheng Antai is here, how can he let the tiger go back to the mountain again?
Sure enough, Liang Fei's inference was absolutely correct. Cheng Antai was about to turn around and leave when he heard Ouyang Jieming's strange laughter like a night owl coming from behind him: "Jiejie, Cheng Antai, do you really take it seriously?"
I, Ouyang Jieming, am a piece of paper? You can come today, but you can’t go!" (To be continued)
