Chapter 55: Not Intending to Fight Over the Family Inheritance

Yu Ci's punch held back no strength at all, landing solidly on Yu Cheng's cheek.

Yu Cheng, whose leg injury hadn't healed, staggered back two steps and heavily knocked into the coffee table, groaning in pain.

He covered his face, muffled a groan, and blood quickly seeped from between his fingers.

"Little Cheng!" Rong Yu shouted and rushed over to help him.

"Who could force you?"

Yu Ci stepped forward, wanting to strike again, but Gu Xingnan grabbed his wrist, "Don't dirty your hands."

Yu Ci struggled twice but couldn't break free, "Who told him to find people to beat you?"

"You're coming for me over the family inheritance—what's the point of moving against A Nan?"

Yu Ci's chest heaved with anger; if not for Gu Xingnan holding him back, he would have liked to kick him twice more: "With your meager prospects, even if the Yu Family were given to you, you couldn't hold onto it!"

Yu Xing looked at the scene before him, his face dark as iron, not intervening—after all, Yu Ci was his favorite son, and Gu Xingnan second.

He pointed at Yu Cheng, voice trembling: "From today on, I'll cancel your cards! Don't ever set foot in the Yu Family again!"

Indeed, after being raised outside for several years, he can't compare to his little Ci, who has been raised in the Yu Family since childhood.

"Dad!" Yu Cheng lifted his head in disbelief, staring at Yu Xing: "You can't drive me away! I'm your own son!"

"Brother!" Yu Cheng covered his chest, his voice full of panic.

He looked at Yu Xing's icy gaze, then caught sight of Gu Xingnan's expressionless face.

Finally unable to hold on, he suddenly knelt on the ground.

With both hands propped on the cold floor, he kept kowtowing toward Yu Xing and Gu Xingnan, his forehead quickly reddening.

"Dad! Brother Xingnan! I was wrong! I really was wrong!"

Yu Cheng's voice trembled with tears, no longer the innocent softness of before: "I didn't mean to harm Brother Xingnan, nor to fight over the family inheritance—I…… I was just bewitched!"

Yu Xing looked at his state, his face still grim: "Not because of the inheritance? Speak clearly!"

"It's because of Leng Yueyue..."

Yu Cheng's voice choked, unable to raise his head: "I've liked her for a long time, but she only ever sees Brother Xingnan. Watching her seek him out time and again, only to be ignored, I…… I just wanted to vent for her, to make Brother Xingnan remember her a little."

Gu Xingnan: "……"

Yu Ci: "……"

No wonder he only struck A Nan and didn't dare hit hard—now it seems Yu Cheng feared hurting A Nan, and Leng Yueyue disliked him.

Just as foolish as before.

Yu Cheng paused, his voice softer, carrying a hint of excuse: "When I found those people, I repeatedly told them to just give a light lesson, not really hurt anyone! I was thinking of letting Brother Xingnan suffer a little grievance……"

"Maybe Yueyue would feel sorry for him, and going to the Gu Family to show concern for Brother Xingnan, seeing Brother Xingnan, would also let her know I'm willing to do things for her……"

"What logic?"

"But I didn't expect those people to use uneven force, actually injuring Brother Xingnan like this!"

Yu Cheng said, tears falling: "Dad, I really know I was wrong, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't intend to ruin your relationship with the Gu Family, nor did I want to fight Brother for the inheritance…… Please don't drive me away, I'll never dare again!"

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing nonstop, the red mark on his forehead deepening.

Rong Yu watched from the side, feeling heartbroken, wanting to step forward but not daring, only able to softly advise with reddened eyes: "Little Cheng, stop kowtowing, hurry and talk properly with your dad……"

Hey, how did she not notice that Yu Cheng had taken a liking to the Leng Family's Fourth Miss?

Yu Ci listened, then laughed angrily: "Just because you like Leng Yueyue, you sent people to hit A Nan? Yu Cheng, are you brain‑dead?"

Gu Xingnan looked at Yu Cheng kneeling on the ground, sobbing, his gaze still icy: "You think this is trivial? Do you know those people were about to draw their bows? If not for A Jin, the consequences would be unthinkable."

Just to scare him.

"No way! I told them not to hurt Brother Xingnan……" Yu Cheng's voice gradually weakened.

Yu Xing drew a deep breath, his face full of disappointment: "For a woman, you do such a foolish thing, and still dare to lie and make excuses! Now the evidence is solid—whatever you say is too late."

He looked at the bodyguard beside him, tone unsoftened: "Pack up his things and send him to the countryside; without my permission, he is not allowed to return to C Shi."

Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng's sobs instantly grew louder, he clutched Yu Xing's pant leg desperately: "Dad! I don't want to go to the countryside! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Will you give me another chance?"

How could he ever turn things around if sent to the countryside!

Yu Xing forcefully shook off his hand: "Opportunity? When you struck, you should have thought of today's consequences! Take him away!"

The bodyguard stepped forward, lifting the still‑struggling Yu Cheng.

As Yu Cheng was being dragged away, he kept shouting apologies, his voice fading outside the door.

Rong Yu watched her son being taken away, finally unable to hold back her tears, yet she dared not say another word.

Yu Ci watched the scene, the fire in his heart finally dying down a bit; he walked over to Gu Xingnan and couldn't help muttering: "He's really an idiot."

He still thought it was because of the Yu Family heir position.

He hadn't expected it to truly be what Mu Youyu thought—it was related to Leng Yueyue.

Gu Xingnan nodded in agreement with Yu Ci's view, looking at Yu Xing: "Uncle, thank you for your trouble."

His gaze swept over Rong Yu, still wiping her tears, and his expression grew a bit colder.

Yu Xing rubbed his brow, waved his hand for Rong Yu to return to her room first, his face full of fatigue: "It's my fault for not raising him well, letting you suffer; this won't happen again."

Gu Xingnan's tone remained calm: "Uncle, you needn't blame yourself; the matter is settled."

Yu Xing said in a low voice: "This time, I will personally go to your father's residence to apologize, so as not to affect the relations between our two families."

He paused, looking at Gu Xingnan: "As for Leng Yueyue's side, I will have someone warn her, and also tell your father to keep her away from you, lest she cause more trouble."

Gu Xingnan gave a slight nod, saying no more pleasantries.

Yu Ci had no reservations: "Then hurry up and send the Mercedes you won at the last auction to A Nan as compensation."

Yu Xing: "……"

That was something he spent 1.2 billion on and had shipped back from overseas!

Gu Xingnan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly upward, after all, Yu Ci had told him a month ago that he had been craving that car for a long time, but Yu Xing was unwilling to give it.

Now they say they'll give it to him; I guess it's Yu Ci who actually wants it.

Gu Xingnan replied, "Thanks, uncle."

Yu Ci saw that Yu Xing still hadn't sent the car, didn't want to go on, reached out and patted Gu Xingnan's arm, "Alright, let's go eat."

Yu Xing watched their interaction, his expression softened a bit, "You two have been close since childhood; from now on you should also look out for each other."

Yu Ci pulled Gu Xingnan to sit at the dining table, "No need for you to say that."
