Chapter 41: Janitor? Or Doorman?

  At breakfast time, Huangfu Ben finished reading the last financial news in the newspaper, took off his old glasses and handed the newspaper to the female servant beside him.

  "What happened this morning?" Huangfu Ben asked calmly.

  Ye Qing, although not young anymore, still looks well-maintained and elegant. She sipped her juice and chimed in: "Yes, I was woken up early this morning!"

  Huangfu Yumian cut the sandwich expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Nothing's wrong! With Chief Cui here, what could possibly go wrong? It's just a few disobedient bodyguards being punished, they're just yelling louder than usual!"

  "It's all right, let's have dinner!" Huang Pu said calmly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty, is the branch in Southeast Asia okay? Has everything been resolved?"

  Huang Pu put down his knife and fork, looked at Huang Ben with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Grandfather, you should be clear that I don't like to discuss company matters at home, nor do I like others to interfere!"

  Huangfu Ben's face turned red with rage upon hearing these words. Someone else? He was his own grandfather, considered someone else? And in front of the whole family, to contradict him like this, truly not giving him any face.

  Huang Pu's face turned several shades darker, his anger boiling over as he slammed his fist on the table. "You little scoundrel," he gritted through clenched teeth, "think you can get away with anything just because you've taken over the company? Believe me..."

  "Want to let Shou take over the company?" Huangfu Yu coldly interrupted Huangfu Ben's words, turned his gaze to look at Ye Qing with an expectant face, and said in a deep voice, "If Grandfather really wants to let Shou take over the company, as long as he has that ability, I am willing to leave!"

  As she spoke, completely disregarding the ugly expressions on Huangfu Ben and Ye Qing's faces, she stood up and went upstairs.

  "You ungrateful son, if you don't give me a heart attack one of these days, won't you be satisfied?! Huan Yu is your younger brother after all, and he's been back from America for several days now. At the very least, can't you arrange a position for him in the company?!" Huang Pu Ben bellowed in anger at the back of Huang Yu.

  Huangfu heard this and turned his head to sneer: "Janitor? Or a gatekeeper?"

  After finishing speaking, he went back upstairs.

  Yeqing saw her son being despised like that, and she had been feeling unbalanced in her heart. She angrily chopped the steak to vent her emotions, and said with a sarcastic tone: "Old man, I think we should go back to America, so we won't be looked down upon at home. At least in America, no one will give us dirty looks or despise us!"

  As she spoke, Ye Qing had already cast a venomous glance at Su Jingya.

  Su Jingya was taken aback, feeling a little frightened and perplexed: she hadn't offended her, so why was she staring at her?

  "Huang Pu's heart was annoyed and he loudly shouted: 'Don't move, you're always using America to suppress me. If I get really angry, I'll send you mother and son to the South Pole.'"

  "Besides, don't blame others, if you want to blame someone, blame that precious son of yours. He only knows how to fool around with women all day and doesn't do his job properly, just like a useless person. His brother looks down on him, and it's all his own fault!"

  As soon as he heard this, Ye Qing didn't even dare to breathe out loudly, and could only look at Huangfu Ben with a stifled expression.

  Huang Pu furrowed his brow and waved his hand impatiently: "You don't have to worry about it, since I've already spoken my mind, I will definitely let Shou Jin take over the family business!"

  Seriously affecting the appetite, Huangfu was so angry that he threw away his knife and fork, leaning on his cane and walking out: "What's the point of eating breakfast? I'm already fed up with anger! Being despised by my grandson like that, what's the point of me being alive? I'd rather eat a bottle of sleeping pills!"

  Su Jingya gazed at the back of Huangfu Ben, opening her mouth to say something, but just then Huangfu Shou suddenly appeared wearing pajamas, yawning, with disheveled hair and a sloppy appearance. From a distance, he loudly shouted without regard for propriety: "Ye Mei Nu, Su Mei Nu, good morning to the two beauties!"
