Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 618: Grandparent-Grandchild Estrangement

"Are you freaking dreaming?" Murong Yeyun was struck with surprise and then proceeded to curse loudly.

Murong Qiushui wanting to kill him, Murong Yeyun, wasn't surprising at all, but what took him by surprise was that Murong Qiushui actually wanted to use Murong Xiao's hand to kill him?

"Murong Qiushui, I admit that I might have gone a bit too far this time, but I did it for your own good, fearing that you would be deceived by some unclear man. You want to kill me just like that? It's a bit too heartless, isn't it? After all, I am your cousin, and yet you want to involve family in infighting. It seems you're deeply in love with Hao Jian," Murong Yeyun said with a sinister laugh, his demeanor nothing short of hypocritical. The last sentence was undoubtedly an insinuation that Murong Qiushui would rather choose an outsider over her own family.

"Shut your mouth!" Murong Xiao snapped at Murong Yeyun, who then fell silent.

With a smiling face, Murong Xiao said to Murong Qiushui, "Old Nine, aren't you asking too much of me? Even if Murong Yeyun is wrong, he's still your cousin. How can you kill him for a Hao Jian?"

Clearly, Murong Yeyun's words had some effect on Murong Xiao.

"You think I want to kill him? Grandfather, have you gone senile? You believe whatever he says?" Murong Qiushui replied unkindly.

Upon hearing this, Murong Xiao suddenly looked taken aback. Murong Qiushui daring to call him senile was utterly unreasonable.

"It's Hao Jian who wants to kill him, not me! From what I know of Hao Jian, if Murong Yeyun doesn't die, this matter will definitely not be settled! This is something caused by Murong Yeyun; he should resolve it himself!" Murong Qiushui said expressionlessly; her stance was clear—she wouldn't persuade Hao Jian unless Murong Yeyun died.

Murong Xiao also dropped his smile, looking somewhat annoyed, "Then if we do execute Murong Yeyun, how would the outside view us? They would think we are afraid of Hao Jian. Where would that leave the dignity of our Murong family?"

Murong Qiushui shook her head and sighed; her grandfather was still so old-fashioned: "Do you really think that so-called face is more important than the rise and fall of our family?"

"Are you so sure he can completely eradicate our Murong family?" Murong Qiushui always siding with Hao Jian had angered Murong Xiao.

"Grandfather, have you not realized the terrifying aspect of Hao Jian?" Murong Qiushui felt disappointed, having thought Murong Xiao was a smart man.

"Isn't he just the founder of Dragon Tooth? I admit it's tricky to be his enemy, but it's not completely unmanageable. To kill our descendants of the Murong family just to avoid offending him? I think not!" Murong Xiao snorted coldly. He naturally wanted to negotiate with Hao Jian, but if Hao Jian was unwilling, he wouldn't bow down!

In the worst case, it would be a final stand-off. Murong Xiao really didn't believe Hao Jian could take them down.

"Grandfather, years of authority have blinded you, Ouyang Xiu once said: 'Hardship can prosper a nation, comfort can ruin a man!' Grandfather, you are too comfortable with the status quo," Murong Qiushui said.

"How dare you!" Murong Xiao slammed the table and scolded, "You dare to lecture me? Don't forget who nurtured you!"

Murong Xiao was immensely angry, Murong Qiushui, being a junior, dared to lecture him like this?

"The blue is made out of indigo but is more vivid than it. Grandfather, you really have aged!" Murong Qiushui said disappointedly, shaking her head, "The words I just said are my last piece of advice to you and the Murong family. If Murong Yeyun doesn't die, the Murong family will perish!"

"You!" Murong Xiao pointed at Murong Qiushui and raised his hand, slapping it down on Murong Qiushui's beautiful face, leaving a clear handprint.

At that moment, Murong Yeyun, who was not far away, also wore a strange smirk, seeming somewhat triumphant.

Murong Xiao angrily hummed, "The younger generation is getting out of hand, standing up to an elder for an outsider, perhaps he has even stolen your soul? It really makes all my past teachings a waste!"

In Murong Xiao's view, Murong Qiushui must have fallen in love with Hao Jian, hence her siding with him.

Murong Qiushui touched her slightly reddened cheek and smiled lightly, "Grandfather, you once said, even though I am a girl, you would treat me equally. But now, it seems you were lying. You still don't respect women at heart, which is why you think I'm siding with Hao Jian. You believe women are more emotional and would prioritize love over family interes

ts!"

"Isn't it so?" Murong Xiao coldly replied, that was exactly how he saw it.

"Yes! You're entirely right, so now I am going to pursue my own love." Murong Qiushui sneered, then said, "Zihui, book me a ticket to Hua City, I'm leaving now!"

"What?" Hearing this, Murong Xiao immediately became furious. Was Murong Qiushui actually going to Hua City to find Hao Jian? Was she planning to abandon the family?

"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Murong family!" Murong Qiushui stated calmly; she had appeared here just to see what attitude Murong Xiao would take, but the outcome had disappointed her.

If Murong Xiao continued to plead with her, Murong Qiushui wouldn't possibly be so heartless, but since Murong Xiao cared more about the so-called family honor, then she was no longer involved.

"You would betray the family?" Murong Xiao glared at Murong Qiushui.

Betrayal? I have done enough for the family, and I have lived for the family for the first half of my life. Now, I want to live for myself.

"Do you know the consequences of what you are doing? The family will no longer provide you with any resources or assistance, and you will lose your current identity!" Murong Xiao said harshly. He had not expected Murong Qiushui to make such a reckless decision. What charm does Hao Jian have to make Murong Qiushui treat him this way?

"I don't care. Hasn't Hao Jian also climbed from nothing to his current position? If he can do it, so can I!" Murong Qiushui believed that even without the family's protection, she could still live well.

In a flash, Murong Xiao's eyes flickered with murderous intent. If Murong Qiushui turned to Hao Jian, it would not be a good thing for the entire Murong Family.

At that moment, Murong Qiushui's heart also chilled. She clearly perceived the change in Murong Xiao's thoughts, but she still said nothing. Her face remained cold and indifferent, and she did not care even if Murong Xiao wanted to kill her.

The triumphant look in Murong Yeyun's eyes grew denser. He had not expected things to evolve to this extent, but once Murong Qiushui was expelled from the family, he would undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary.

Of course, if Murong Xiao could harden his heart to get rid of Murong Qiushui, that would be even better.

However, after giving Murong Qiushui a deep look, Murong Xiao said fiercely, "You may go now!"

Ultimately, Murong Xiao did not bring himself to kill her, but Murong Qiushui knew it was not because Murong Xiao had any old affection for her, but because he was concerned about his own parents.

If Murong Xiao really harmed her, that would create a rift with his own parents, which is why he chose inaction.

Murong Qiushui turned her head and left, without a trace of nostalgia in her eyes. Murong Xiao's coldness utterly disheartened her.

Only after Murong Qiushui had left did Murong Xiao finally snort coldly, "Nonsense!"

"Grandfather, I will strive in the future, surpass Murong Qiushui, and will not disappoint you!" Murong Yeyun quickly said, knowing it was the best opportunity to win Murong Xiao's favor.

"With you? You might not catch up to her even in ten years!" Murong Xiao glanced at Murong Yeyun and said disdainfully. The situation had turned out this way largely because of Murong Yeyun. Although Murong Qiushui had left, it did not mean he fully trusted Murong Yeyun, who was inferior to Murong Qiushui in both vision and intellect.

Hearing this, Murong Yeyun hastily bowed his head humbly, but his eyes showed a trace of jealousy.

Even now, this old man still refused to trust him? Was he really so inferior to Murong Qiushui?

"But now we can only treat a dead horse as though it were alive. If you meet my expectations within the anticipated time, then I will agree to pass the position of Family Head to you; otherwise, you will have to leave the Murong Family just like Murong Qiushui!" Murong Xiao said coldly.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Murong Yeyun felt no joy but was rather annoyed. Why was it that when Murong Qiushui decided to leave the family, Murong Xiao hindered her at every turn, yet he himself was to be expelled?

"How is the situation with Baili Yuntian being handled?" After returning, Hao Jian resumed his plans against Baili Yuntian.

"That guy hasn't suspected a thing, and he has already transferred all the money." Jessica said with a triumphant smile. During the days when Hao Jian was detained, Jessica had already successfully obtained Baili Yuntian's huge fortune.

"Good, now that the money is in hand, there's no need to continue playing house." Hao Jian sneered and then said to Jessica, "Arrange a meeting with Jessica. It's time to have a showdown with him!"

"Yuntian, where are you going this early in the morning?" At that moment, as Baili Yuntian was in a rush to leave the house, he was stopped halfway by Baili Yang.

"I have a very important client who wants to discuss business with me!" Baili Yuntian answered.

"By the way, you moved so much money from the company recently, what was it for?" Suddenly, Baili Yang remembered the money Baili Yuntian had shifted out of the company.

"I used it for an investment." Baili Yuntian said spiritedly. He hadn't told Baili Yang about it, hoping to surprise him later, but since Baili Yang asked, he naturally couldn't keep it hidden.

"I met a daughter of a Wall Street business magnate. She said her dad was dealing in oil business, so I bought a share." Baili Yuntian explained.

"A fifteen billion investment? Why didn't you tell me?" Baili Yang said somewhat reproachfully. Fifteen billion was no small sum; Baili Yuntian had taken it for investment without a word. If it had turned out to be a pitfall, they would have suffered a heavy loss.
