Chapter 425: Wolf ambition, obvious
The Xiao family is large, with many direct and collateral members, but not many of them are really capable.
Xiao Cheng's father inherited the family business early on, and expanded the Xiao family's industry and wealth to such a huge scale. He was also very generous to family members.
Most of them were placed in some unimportant and idle positions in the group's branches and directly retired.
Even their children were born to rely on the halo of the Xiao family, and lived a life of idleness and waiting to die with the money given by the Xiao family every month.
Old Master Xiao is the backbone of the Xiao family and the guardian stone of the house.
If something happens to the old man and there is no one to suppress those who are greedy and fighting for power, the Xiao family will inevitably fall into chaos and another bloody storm is unavoidable.
Xiao Zhengqing and Xiao Zian, father and son, were wiping their tears and had never expected that Xiao Cheng would come over so soon.
When he saw Xiao Cheng, a hint of viciousness flashed across Xiao Zhengqing's eyes.
Didn't he go back to North America?
How come it comes so fast?
Originally, Xiao Zhengye and his wife were dead, and the only thing left to deal with was Xiao Su.
No one expected Xiao Cheng to come back at this time. Moreover, such a scoundrel had transformed himself into the president of the largest investment group in North America.
Thinking of this, the jealousy in the hearts of the father and son became even stronger.
Thinking that the old man's life or death was uncertain and it was not the time to fall out, he had no choice but to hold back, temporarily suppressing his ugly face, pretending to be sad, and strode forward, pointing at Xiao Cheng's nose and cursing.
"Xiao Cheng, your parents have been through such a terrible thing, and their bodies are still warm. Instead of going to Yi County to deal with the aftermath, you've come here. Your grandfather hasn't even died yet, and you're so anxious to divide up the family fortune? Your wolfish ambitions are obvious, don't you think?"
Everyone looked at each other, no one responded, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Xiao Cheng had an expressionless face as he stared towards the operating room without saying a word, but he made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.
Seeing this, Xiao Zian hurried forward and pretended to help Xiao Zhengqing calm down.
"Dad, please don't get angry. My second uncle and second aunt are gone, and grandpa's life or death is still uncertain. The affairs of the Xiao family and the group still depend on you, so please take care of yourself."
The implication is that his father, Xiao Zhengqing, should be the successor.
Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed even more, because it was obvious that his elder brother Xiao Su was the crown prince of the Xiao family and the legitimate heir.
Xiao Zhengqing and his son treated Xiao Su as if he were air. They were so shameless.
Everyone else just watched from the sidelines, and no one dared to join in, for fear of standing on the wrong side and losing their future and wealth.
In addition, the fact that Xiao Zian was almost beaten to death by Xiao Cheng had already spread throughout the Xiao family.
When the elders in the family educate the younger generation, they often say to stay away from that playboy Xiao Cheng, because if you mess with him, you will suffer the consequences.
But now that Xiao Cheng's background in North America has been exposed, people in the family are eager for him to return to the group and take power, so that their interests can also increase and they can benefit from it.
This is the ugliness and hypocrisy of human nature.
Xiao Cheng looked coldly at Xiao Zhengqing and his son who were singing the same tune, without saying a word.
Everyone present felt that Xiao Cheng in front of them was unfathomable. It was all because he had disguised himself too well before. Now the Xiao family could not guess his true nature or understand his thoughts, so no one dared to say anything.
At this time, an elder in the family stood up and spoke in the crowd.
"Alright, Zhengqing. The old man has loved Acheng since he was a child. He came here because he was worried."
"Yes, the old man is gone, and what happened to the old man and his wife is irreversible. Since Xiao Su has already gone to Yi County to handle the funeral, it is reasonable for Ah Cheng to come and see the old man. Both sides are close relatives, and I believe the child must be very sad. Zhengqing, please say less."
