Heartless was the Imperial Family!
Power and desire had buried kinship. In the history of the world, it was not uncommon for brothers to become enemies due to the struggle for power.
History is the portrayal of life. In ancient times, people would fight for power. Today, the same is true.
In the Xu Family of the Beijing Sea, Xu Xiangzu and Xu Zihao were at loggerheads. Their blood brothers would fight with each other for power, and there was no need to mention the fact that the two of them were not brothers yet.
During the many years that Xu Xiangzu had been in the Xu Family, he had done all sorts of evil deeds for the sake of inheriting power. Xu Zihao had observed them all from the start, and had kept quiet and pretended not to know anything, just because he did not have the power to resist.
Ever since he had Yan Yun's support, Xu Zihao kept developing boldly and bravely, fighting against Xu Xiangzu. Furthermore, in order to prevent Xu Xiangzu from forcing his father, Xu Zihao had already secretly brought Xu Wei Ye out of the Xu Family.
The current Xu Family was being dominated by Xu Xiangzu, but he could only temporarily use the power in his hands, because in name, Xu Wei Ye was still in charge, while Xu Xiangzu was just helping to manage his own businesses.
This was a question of the title. Xu Weiye had the title, and he said who would be the next leader and who would be the next to ascend to the throne.
Although Xu Xiangzu was temporarily in charge of the Xu Family, he did not sit stably in this position.
Shangri-La's top western restaurant, the entire third floor was reserved. Every ten steps, there would be two straight-standing bodyguards in black on both sides of the hall. Behind the empty screen carved with rosewood was a clean and expensive long table.
The room's windows were bright and clean, the decorations were simple and elegant. Xu Xiangzu sat at the side, looking at the end of the long table with an amiable expression.
Xu Zihao's expression was calm as he met Xu Xiangzu's gaze without fear. Up till now, he had always been afraid of his big brother, but this was the first time in his entire life that he had ever looked straight at Xu Xiangzu.
Of course, Xu Zihao knew that all of this was because he had the support of that man.
Yesterday, Xu Zihao had received Xu Xiangliang's invitation to have a feast at Shangri-La's top-notch Western Restaurant.
Xu Zihao took the invitation card and sneered in his heart. Although he said that it was a family banquet, he was afraid that it was a Hong Gate banquet! Was Xu Xiangzu showcasing his cards to him? What capital did he have? The 'soul' behind his back had already been destroyed, what more could he use to fight against her?
Even though he said that, facing Xu Xiangzu's accumulated might, Xu Zihao was still a little afraid. But seeing Yan Yun's encouraging gaze, Xu Zihao suddenly felt his body lighten.
Xu Zihao did not miss his appointment to attend the Hongmen feast.
Although that man had only sent two people to protect him, Xu Zihao was filled with confidence. Facing Xu Xiangzu's countless bodyguards, with 3 steps, 1 guard, 10 steps, and 1 sentry, Xu Zihao only brought 2 people over. This gave him the heroic spirit of a lone warrior fighting against a group of devils.
But seeing the two of them, Xu Zihao was still extremely shocked, because he knew these two, and they had even kidnapped him before! He never thought that these two people would actually become Yan Yun's subordinates.
But Xu Zihao did not ask any further. He knew what he should say, and what he should not say.
"Zi Hao, where's father?" "Why didn't you come? How can you eat without your father?" Xu Xiangzu smiled.
Xu Zihao sneered in his heart. You want your father to come over so you can catch him in one fell swoop? With that in mind, Xu Zihao maintained his composure and said: "Father is not feeling well, he is recuperating in the suburbs. The journey is long, the ship's journey is tiring, and it is not good for his health."
Xu Xiangzu seemed to have predicted that Xu Zihao would say such a thing, his smile did not change as he asked: "Is father not feeling well? Where is he? I have to find time to visit him. "
"No need." Xu Zihao immediately rejected back. Father likes to be quiet. Even I can't go often. "
Xu Zihao's words were very explicit, the meaning was very obvious, in my father's eyes, I, Xu Zihao, am more powerful than you, and I, Xu Zihao cannot even go often, and you, Xu Xiangzu, do not even have the chance to meet me.
"That's true! "Sigh!" Xu Xiangzu was not angry, but instead sighed: "Father truly thought hard, when he's sick he's also worried about the family business, and you don't want me to be distracted by him, then Zi Hao, please help me take care of father, later I'll send someone to buy some supplements, and you can help me bring them over."
Xu Xiangzu's words were very knowledgeable, even Xu Zihao had no choice but to admire him. Following Xu Xiangzu's words, the meaning behind them changed, he could not go and say that he was going to take care of Xu Wei Yi's business, instead, he did not want to waste time. As for Xu Zihao being able to get close to Xu Wei Zhi, he became idle.
Not only that, Xu Xiangzu was even hinting at Xu Zihao, who is the one controlling the power right now, Xu Xiangzu and not you, Xu Zihao, if you just obediently stay here, I won't touch you, if you want to play any tricks, then don't blame me for being rude.
In the face of Xu Xiangzu's secret threat, Xu Zihao was naturally not afraid.
This meant that Xu Xiangzu was wary of him. If it was an ordinary day, would Xu Xiangzu have indirectly hinted at him? He had probably scolded his like he was his elder brother! Now, Xu Xiangzu could only secretly threaten him.
Although it was unintentionally revealed, it was precisely this kind of inadvertent exposure that reflected Xu Xiangzu's true thoughts. He, Xu Zihao, had unknowingly stood at the same height as Xu Xiangzu, and when the other party was talking to him, they needed to be treated equally.
"Sure!" Xu Zihao laughed straightforwardly. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. "
After saying that, Xu Zihao stood up, but in his heart, he was sneering. Since you already made a feast, you must have something to discuss with me.
Although Xu Zihao's strength was limited and could not be used to effectively obstruct Xu Xiangzu from nibbling on Xu Family, Mo Family was still alright! That man was the son-in-law of the Mo Family. With Mo Yiwen interfering and working with Xu Zihao, the difficulty of Xu Xiangzu eating into the assets of the Xu Family had increased greatly.
Although Mo Family and Xu Family were opposites of the two great families in Beijing, there were definitely many cooperative projects between them. The general manager of many of the subsidiary companies in Xu Family did not give Xu Xiangzu much face.
At most, they would listen to the orders of the emperor, so how would they listen to Xu Xiangzu, who was temporarily taking care of Xu Family's businesses?
Of course, there must be a hint from Mo Yiwen, and it's also a simple hint, if you subsidiary companies still want to continue cooperating with us Mo Family, then don't listen to everything Xu Xiangzu says.
The general managers of these subsidiaries did not want to listen to Xu Xiangzu anyway. With Mo Yiwen behind them, they naturally agreed readily.
Xu Xiangzu sensed that there was no solution, so he set up the Hongmen Banquet. The main goal was to find Xu Weidong, and force him to take care of the rights of the clan, so that he could truly ascend the throne.
"Why are you leaving so quickly? "Quickly, sit down. Zi Hao, you haven't eaten yet." Xu Xiangzu said with a smile.
Xu Zihao laughed coldly in his heart. He did not really leave;
"I've already eaten, so I won't eat anymore."
"Then drink with me, big brother. We haven't had a drink in a long time!" Xu Xiangzu said without a care.
"I'm sorry! I've been forbidding alcohol lately. " Although Xu Zihao was saying that he was sorry, it was clear that he did not have an apologetic look.
