Chapter 423 The Animosity
“No, you’ve got the wrong idea, grandmother! I have no intention to take a single cent from Yang
Family!” Chen Hao frowned and said.
“Hmph. Ever since your mother left the Yang Family, she has nothing to do with us anymore. I have
severed all ties with her publicly. You understand this, right?” Madame Yangughed frostily.
Chen Hao kept quiet.
Looking at the tension between them, Uncle Yurong coughed and interjected, “Mother, no matter what,
Chen Hao is still your grandson. Since he came with good intentions, and it’s his first time here, let’s
not scare him away. Chen Hao, since all the elders in the Yang Family are here today,e greet
everyone with a cup of tea!”
Uncle Yurongughed airily, attempting to ease the tension.
He was pretty good to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao then remembered his mother told him that she was the closest with Uncle Yurong and Uncle
Yuxing.
He then nodded and received a teapot from the servant, before pouring a cup of tea for his
grandmother as he greeted her, “Grandmother, this is your tea.”
After Aunt Guo Ru’s instigation, Madame Yang seemed to remember the tragic past and thought Chen
Hao visited her because he wanted a portion of the Yang Family’s wealth.
Infuriated, she closed her eyes and refused to look at him.
Chen Hao then poured a cup of tea for Uncle Yuting, Uncle Yufeng, and Uncle Yuhang. All three of
them refused to drink the tea.
When he served Aunt Guo Ru, her lips curled into a sneer and she poured the tea to the floor. “Who
needs your fake kindness?”
The rest of the younger people in the Yang Family took a few more nces at Chen Hao.
Not only did she not drink it, she even poured it away.
Aunt Guo Ru deliberately insulted Chen Hao.
Yang Ye wasughing at Chen Hao gleefully deep inside. If only Qin Ya could see him now!
Only Uncle Yurong drank his tea.
“Let me give someone some advice—stop scheming to take things that don’t belong to you. It seems
that certain people here chose the right time to visit us. Right before grandmother’s birthday, huh?”
Aunt Xu Sen, Uncle Yu Feng''s wife, said pointedly.
“Well, even dogs know which family to ask for some food! Seems like someone had enough of his
miserable, poor life and wants to live a wealthy life!” Aunt Guo Ru mocked.
“That woman abandoned us andnded the Yang Family in a dangerous situation. She caused so
much distress to mother! Go back and tell her that it’s no use crying over spilt milk!” Aunt Lizhen, Uncle
Yuhang''s wife, chimed in.
Once the subject was brought up, it had no end.
Everyone started throwing jibes directed at Chen Hao’s mother.
“Enough! Stop talking!” Madame Yang’s blood pressure rose as she hit the table with her hands.
Everyone stopped talking at once.
“Ashen, take me back to rest!”
“Yes, Madame.”
Madame Yang left immediately.
“It’s all because of you! Why did youe back? You want to be the death of your grandmother?” Aunt
Guo Ru scolded Chen Hao.
“Stop scolding Chen Hao! He just wanted to pay grandmother a visit. Why do you guys behave this
way?” Xiaobei almost burst into tears.
“Xiaobei, what are you doing interrupting us adults when we are talking? You are only a young girl. You
are considered lucky that we haven’t started picking on you! If it weren’t for your dad, his mother would
not have eloped and left our family!” Aunt Guo Ru chided loudly.
“Guo Ru, what do you mean? Is this the way you talk to your niece?” Aunt Caifeng, Xiaofei''s mum, was
unhappy at the way Xiaobei was spoken to.
“What’s wrong, Caifeng? Your daughter didn’t have any manners, why can’t I educate her? Look at
yourself in the Yang Family! Yang Xiaobei, I’ve heard you just joined Yang Group in the project
management department. Madame Yang told everyone in the meeting just now that it is important to
get projects. I’ll leave them to your team then! Aren’t you very good with your words? Show me what
you can do! If you can’t make any contributions to the family, don’t ever think that you’ll get a good
portion of money from the Yang Family!” Guo Ru retaliated. Her words were like cannon shooting from
her mouth.
Yang Yurong and Yang Yuxing were very close with Yang Yuping, who had a tense rtionship with
Guo Ru.
Back in the days, Yang Yuping discovered that Guo Ru wasmitting auditing fraud by making false
ounting statements.
She reported this to Madame Yang and Guo Ru was pped by her in front of everybody in a meeting.
Since then, Guo Ru hated Yang Yuping and those who were close to her, both the families of Yurong
and Yuxing.
Now that Yang Yuting and her were in charge of the majority of Yang Group, she had power equivalent
to the vice director. She had the right to say anything.
This was also the reason Xiaobei’s family was neglected by them.
“Alright, alright. Hold your tongues, folks. Mother had just emphasized that unity in our family is the
most important!” Yang Yuting said.
“I agree. Stop standing over there. Come sit and eat with us, Chen Hao!” Uncle Yurong said.
“What? He doesn’t deserve to sit here!” A few of his aunts were not happy with this.
Seeing that his presence would jeopardize his uncle’s rtionship with other members of the Yang
Family, Chen Hao said bitterly, “That’s fine, Uncle Yurong. I’ll take my leave now. Enjoy your lunch!”
He patted Xiaobei’s shoulders, signaling her to leave him alone, and left.
“Let me warn all of you, Chen Hao is no longer rted to the Yang Family. If ites to my knowledge
that someone still continues to keep in touch with him, that person will be fired from thepany!” Guo
Ru announced, looking at Yang Xiaobei.
Everyone agreed.
Chen Hao had never thought that the feud between the Chen and the Yang Family was this serious.
However, he was not daunted by it. He wanted to fix the rtionship between his mother and his
grandmother.
He believed that if there was a will, there was a way.
If he exposed his family background right now, it would probably backfire.
It would have to wait until his grandmother’s birthday celebration on the next day.
Thinking of her birthday, he called Hou Ping to ask him to prepare some gifts for her.
When the evening came, Xiaobei returned with a morose face. It was obvious that she was scolded by
Aunt Guo Ru.
He knew that Xiaobei suffered a lot for him. Even though Aunt Caifeng did not say a word about it, her
gaze toward Chen Hao was getting more and more unfriendly.
“Xiaobei, let’s go shopping! Let me buy some nice clothes for you!” Chen Hao told Xiaobei.
Xiaobei was a nice and sweet girl, but she did not lead a good life for the past two years because of
Guo Ru.
Compared to their other cousins, there was a big difference in the style and clothes that she wore.
Apart from giving her the car, he hadn’t bought her anything else.
“There’s no need for that, Chen Hao!” Xiaobei said.
“Come on, let’s look around together!”
With Xiaobei behind the wheels of the BMW 7 Series, they then drove to a mall full of designer stores.
Beep! A car was parked in the parking lot and locked.
“Qin Ya, cheer up! Look, there are a lot of new designs and styles for the new season. Let’s shop till we
drop!” Two girls walked out of the car.
It was Meng Can and Qin Ya, who was dragged here forcefully by Meng Can.
