Chapter 1897: I Think So Too

"Young Master Qiongsi is indeed a capable person; he is more suited to lead the Shilaike Family than his younger brother," Moli said.

"Do you think so too?" Chen Yu could not help but glance at her.

"Yes, I think so too," Moli nodded.

"Keep these words to yourself; never mention them in front of outsiders, or else watch out for your Life," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"I apologize, I shouldn't have mentioned these things," Moli was slightly startled and hurriedly lowered her head to eat.

"Speak less, do more; that is the way to survive in a large family like this. Do you understand?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"I understand," Moli nodded slightly and said softly, "Thank you."

Putting down the cutlery in her hand, Moli hesitated for a moment: "Why did you refuse Ximeng?"

"You heard it all?" Chen Yu said unhurriedly.

"I heard... a little," Moli nodded.

"Because of the fun," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "If I stood with Ximeng and the others, Qiongsi would surely die."

"Because the strength of the Roy Family is already very strong; if I stood with them, there would be no fun at all."

"Do you feel that helping Qiongsi to the top gives you a sense of accomplishment?" Moli finally understood what Chen Yu meant.

"You could say that," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said: "Actually, at my level, everything I do no longer has any reason to follow."

"I feel like doing it, so I do it, because one decision can determine the Life and death of many people."

Moli nodded slightly; she stopped talking and continued to eat.

In a flash, it was evening.

The Shilaike Manor was so large that there was naturally no shortage of places for entertainment at night.

Next to the winery was a small tavern, where almost all the direct descendants of the Shilaike Family lived within this manor, and most of them gathered here at night.

Qiongsi invited Chen Yu to this small tavern.

But there was already a group of people here, and these people were all supporters of Qiongsi's younger brother.

"Qiongsi, you've come over too? Sorry, today I am having a small gathering here with a group of cousins, you should come back another day."

Just as Qiongsi and Chen Yu sat down, a blond young man who was seven or eight parts drunk swayed over.

He was Qiongsi's cousin Shidi, and this guy was a staunch supporter of Qiongsi's younger brother.

"Yeah, who is this person you brought, Qiongsi? I haven't seen him before," someone asked.

"Heh, isn't this a newly hired bodyguard? Qiongsi is now so scared he doesn't dare to go out."

The group burst into loud laughter, mocking Qiongsi without mercy.

They all believed that Qiongsi had no chance of winning in this struggle.

"Shidi, this is Mr. Chen. He is a distinguished guest I invited. We can joke around however we want, but please don't joke about Mr. Chen, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

Qiongsi's brows locked together, and he stared coldly at the few people in front of him.

These people were all loyal supporters of his younger brother and were also direct descendants of the Shilaike Family. In recent days, they had increasingly stopped taking him, the heir, seriously.

"Haha, a distinguished guest? There aren't many people who can be called distinguished guests by our Shilaike Family," Shidi laughed loudly, and he led a group of people to stand in front of Chen Yu.

He scanned Chen Yu with a provocative gaze, then said: "What is special about this distinguished guest? Why not show us?"

"You..." Qiongsi was furious. He, the future heir, could now be said to be deserted by his followers and left in a sorry state.

Even those who were usually submissive to him were now working against him, because no one thought he could succeed in this game.

After all, the opponent's strength was too great, and he had been fighting alone until now.

"No need to be angry, I'll handle it," Chen Yu smiled slightly, stopping Qiongsi's angry behavior.

Qiongsi gritted his teeth and sat down. He was originally afraid that these direct descendants would offend Chen Yu and then be beaten by Chen Yu until their own fathers wouldn't recognize them, but seeing their attitude toward him, he got angry.

Since these guys wanted to die, then he might as well grant their wish.

"Wow, to be able to maintain such composure in our Shilaike Family, it seems you are no ordinary person."

Shidi laughed loudly and walked to Chen Yu's side: "Kid, what are you doing in our Shilaike Family?"

"Visiting, but your Shilaike Family claims to be the oldest nobility; your hospitality is not very good, is it?" Chen Yu glanced at the second-generation ancestors in front of him.

"This makes me have to think that the Shilaike Family is full of people like you. How did you establish yourselves in the noble circle?"

Chen Yu's words made the expressions of these guys change slightly, and Shidi's expression became even uglier: "We naturally don't treat distinguished guests like this."

"But you? Sorry, we don't know you, and you are hanging out with Qiongsi; can you even be considered a distinguished guest?"

"Qiongsi will inherit the Shilaike Family in the near future. He is the Head of Family. Do you think the guest invited by your Head of Family is unimportant?" Chen Yu asked.

"Haha..." the group burst into laughter: "Only a fool would think Qiongsi has the ability to inherit the family now, right? Haha, outsider, you really don't know anything."

"Lao Shilaike already issued this directive at the Family Council a year ago, designating Qiongsi as the future family heir."

Chen Yu said indifferently: "So why can't he inherit the family? You give me an explanation. Is it possible that your grandfather, Lao Shilaike, can no longer command the family?"

"Or is it... that your Shilaike Family has already fallen apart, and the Head of Family's words no longer count?"

The laughter of Shidi and the others stopped abruptly. This accusation was truly too heavy; if it were pinned on them, it could crush them to death.

No matter who it was, no matter how strong their backing was, no one could say words about splitting the Shilaike Family.

And even if Qiongsi was currently being suppressed to death, he was still the family heir designated by Lao Shilaike. If they said such things, they would be hanged.

"Kid, don't twist the concepts. Our Shilaike Family is the greatest family," Shidi changed his face: "Of course we welcome distinguished guests, but Qiongsi hasn't inherited the family yet, so it's not like we must respect every guest he invites."

"Oh, then what do you want?" Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at him.

"Haha, we are just curious about your identity," Shidi chuckled: "And we want to play a few games with you."

"What do you want to play?" Chen Yu asked: "It wouldn't be Russian roulette, would it?"

"You can play that if you want. Of course, we have other fun games, but since you are so impatient to play Russian roulette, we will grant your wish," Shidi beckoned.
