Fu Chengqian stared at their departing backs for a long time. He was facing the light, his profile was deep and evil. Jiang Lingxuan pulled his sleeve and asked worriedly, "Husband, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Fu Chengqian quickly retracted his gaze and rubbed her hair lovingly, "I just thought that the Hua family should be planning to play a game of chess."

Because his wife was pregnant, Fu Chengqian's mind was completely focused on her. He had no interest in anything else and did not pay too much attention to the minor changes in Beijing. However, Jiang Wangshu's pregnancy made him alert.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lingxuan was confused by the incoherent words, but fortunately she was not a naive person who knew nothing about business. "Are you saying that Wangshu will take over the affairs of the Hua family?"

"Yeah." Fu Chengqian nodded and said slowly, "The Hua family and the Fu family have both competition and cooperation. It's true that Hua Tingrui and I have been friends for many years, but we have always been in two different camps."

"Jiang Wangshu's ability is indeed extraordinary and should not be underestimated. This is why I invested in her in the first place. I previously speculated that she might join the Hua family in the future, but I did not expect it to happen so soon. In this case, she will definitely take over immediately. Some of the projects of the third branch of the Hua family have been idle for too long, so long that they have become infested with termites, and there are many areas where the Fu family has taken advantage of the opportunity to profit."

After understanding the deep meaning, Jiang Lingxuan frowned and worried, "Then..."

Fu Chengqian hurriedly comforted her, "Don't panic, Xuan, nothing is more important than you two right now, Dad and I will take care of these." He hugged her carefully, his tone extremely gentle, for fear of startling her, "Don't worry, okay?"

He explained patiently and carefully: "The Hua family's foundation was shaken by the death of Hua Liansheng. Even though Mu Xiuzhi and the others later turned the tide, they only recovered a little bit in the end."

The Hua family and the Fu family have always been on par with each other, but an accident caused the Hua family to suffer a heavy blow, and internal strife continued within the family, forcing the family to retreat to the second largest family in Beijing. The Fu family, on the other hand, took over the leading position by relying on the brutal and ruthless means used by Fu Chengqian after he came to power.

“This time they want to get back to the top.”

"This is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. It won't threaten the Fu family's status." It was indeed a normal development, but Fu Chengqian never expected that Jiang Wangshu would take up the remaining responsibilities of the Hua family so early.

It's time for the Fu family to be alert.

……

Hua Ning's full moon banquet was extremely lively and there were many guests. After all, she was the descendant of a marriage between famous families in Beijing and Shanghai, and a daughter who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Hua Qifei and the others came as well, of course. He leisurely traveled around with the bigwigs from all walks of life, dreaming of gaining power in the near future.

He congratulated her hypocritically, "Xiuzhi, congratulations, you have another granddaughter." Then he pretended to be modest, "You are so lucky. You have six grandchildren at such a young age. You can enjoy the happiness of family life. Unlike me, I have a life of hard work."

Mu Xiuzhi smiled perfunctorily, "Uncle, you are too kind." But the smile was fleeting, and she twitched his lips and said, "Since you know that you are destined to work hard, then you should have a good rest and not work too hard. Everyone should do their own job, and you can leave some things to others without worrying too much."

Facing Mu Xiuzhi's ridicule, Hua Qifei almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face, "Haha, I can't always trouble others. Although I'm a little older, it's good to be able to do something."

Looking at his expression, Mu Xiuzhi smiled but did not answer.

Hua Qifei was unwilling to argue with Mu Xiuzhi, so he turned around and continued chatting with people he knew.

"Zhizhi, where is our Xiaoliu? Why didn't you bring him out to see?" Mu Fengye walked towards Mu Xiuzhi with big strides, ignoring those around him who were calling him.

Mu Xiuzhi explained to him: "Dad, it's windy outside. Wanzhen and her parents are inside to see Hua Ning. They will bring her out later."

Mu Fengye nodded in agreement, "Oh, that's right, don't let our little girl catch a cold." Suddenly, he lowered his voice, "What about our San'er's wife?"

"Inside too."

"I gonna go see."

"Ah."

……

Everything was normal at the full moon banquet, except that Hua Qifei and others were staring at them eagerly, wishing to confront Mu Xiuzhi immediately. Finally, after the guests had dispersed, only a few people from the family were left at the scene.

Hua Qifei led a group of people to attack Mu Xiuzhi, "Xiuzhi, shouldn't we discuss the management rights of the third house? You are the head of the family, but we are all paying attention to the development of the family." He smiled triumphantly and turned around to say, "Don't you agree?"

"Yes, Patriarch, we can't just leave these properties alone, right?"

"Yes, people without ability are not suitable to take over the family business! Whoever is capable should take on the job, and only in this way can our Hua family prosper!"

"The Third House really should elect a new successor!"

"Our clan is full of talented people, and we have no shortage of capable young people. Descendants who only know how to eat and drink shouldn't hold too many inheritance rights!"

Hua Tingjue could hear that this group of people were coming for him. They were all making indirect accusations and were almost pointing at his nose and cursing.

Although what they said did make sense, that was the property his father left him. Why should I get the consent of outsiders like them if I want to give it to my son?

Mu Fengye didn't leave. Seeing this group of ambitious people bullying his daughter, he was immediately angry! He only had this one daughter, so naturally he doted on her unconditionally. So he raised his thick eyebrows and said coldly, "Heh, my daughter hasn't said anything yet? Brother-in-law, why are you talking so much!"

Hua Qifei was furious, "You..." But he didn't dare to be too presumptuous to Mu Fengye, so he could only say tactfully: "Old Chief, this seems to be an internal matter of my Hua family, a family affair. Your last name is not Hua, right?"

"Tsk." Mu Fengye didn't tolerate him and spoke rudely, "My daughter is in charge of your Hua family. She doesn't even think I talk too much. How can a concubine like you talk so much nonsense!"

The insult was so blunt that Hua Qifei was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Mu Fengye tremblingly, his words unclear, and he kept calling “you you you” for a long time.

"Someone, drag him out." Mu Fengye waved his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his guards rushed out. Fortunately, Mu Xiuzhi stopped them. She frowned and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?"

Mu Fengye was impatient, so he leaned over and whispered to his daughter, "Zhizhi, what are you arguing about with him? You old bastard, I'll take care of you!"

Faced with her old father's grand doting, Mu Xiuzhi felt powerless and tried to drive him away, "Dad... I can handle it myself. There's no need for you to come. Go take care of the children when you have nothing to do." She motioned to Lin Shuanglian to take him away.

"Tsk." Mu Fengye didn't want to leave.

"go."

The chief was actually afraid of his daughter, so Mu Fengye had no choice but to nod and compromise with her, "Okay, okay, come here, I'll go take care of Ningning!"

Mu Xiuzhi has always been calm in the face of adversity. Looking at the familiar faces, which were exactly the same as the ugly faces that forced her to give up her position fourteen years ago, she stared with a cold smile and asked calmly in a deep voice: "Who said that there is no one in the third branch of my Hua family?!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, "According to your suggestions, I did choose an excellent manager for the third house." Then, she tilted her head and looked at Jiang Wangshu beside her with encouraging eyes, nodded, and said softly, "Go."

Jiang Wangshu took a step forward, cold and steady, with an innate indifference and alienation lingering around him. His black eyes swept around slowly, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, and a sense of oppression surged in his heart.

After a moment, she smiled faintly and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let me introduce myself to all the elders in the family - Jiang Wangshu. From now on, I will officially become the third heir of the family head's lineage, taking over all the industries under the name of the third branch of the Hua family, and working with the new family head to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family."

???

Hua Tingjue, who was standing next to her, suddenly widened his eyes.

Who takes over? What is she going to take over?!
