She let out a cold laugh and said, "Alright, I'll take over my father's position. You can all rest assured, uncles and elders."
Her response made everyone, including Yang Chongshan, frown.
Yang Chongshan laughed heartily and said, "Zhilan, you're a very smart girl and capable too, but to lead, one needs enough experience. I suggest we let everyone vote. Even in a family, we should be democratic."
After speaking, he glanced around the room and said loudly, "I'll cast my vote for Zhilan first. She's a good kid and capable. Everyone, please start voting."
A group of people let out friendly laughs, waiting for this moment.
"I'll vote for Second Uncle."
"I think Chongshan is a good choice."
"Sister Zhilan is talented, but she's too young to command respect. I think Second Uncle is better."
Almost everyone cast their votes for Yang Chongshan.
With everyone's support, Yang Chongshan stood up and smiled contentedly at the crowd. "Thank you for your support, family. I am filled with gratitude."
"Rest assured, I will not disappoint you. I will lead the family and the company to new heights."
After he finished his speech, everyone applauded in support.
Only Yang Zhilan remained unmoved, turning away with a cold expression.
Seeing her about to leave, Yang Chongshan's son quickly stepped forward to block her, smiling, "Sis, aren't you going to say something?"
Yang Zhilan stared at her brother for a few seconds before spitting out three words from her cherry lips.
Her sudden outburst shocked everyone, overturning their image of her.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful girl, usually as cold as an iceberg and sparing with words, could utter such vulgar language?
In fact, she couldn't be blamed.
Spending too much time with Tang Yu, she had been influenced by someone who had slipped through the cracks of proper upbringing.
But she had to admit, cursing so directly felt incredibly satisfying!
"Zhilan, what do you mean by this? Why are you insulting your brother?"
Seeing his precious son being called an idiot, Yang Chongshan's face darkened instantly, and he shouted loudly.
Now that everyone had voted, the Yang family was under his control!
He might as well make an example of her, to show her that the times have changed!
"You're an idiot too," Yang Zhilan retorted unceremoniously.
With each insult, her mood improved.
Yang Chongshan was so angry his face turned green, and he shouted, "This is outrageous! Does no one rule this family anymore? Lock her in a room for half a month!"
At his command, two bodyguards immediately approached Yang Zhilan.
"Do you dare?" Yang Zhilan glared coldly.
The two bodyguards reached out to grab her arm.
Just as they were about to grab her, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
The bodyguards hadn't even reacted when a sharp pain shot through them, as if a string of firecrackers had exploded inside them.
The two of them jumped half a meter into the air and fell to the ground, clutching their bleeding wounds, unable to stand.
As they began to wail, everyone noticed that several new people had suddenly appeared in the room.
It was Tang Yu and his group, who had rushed from the airport to the Yang family.
After easily defeating the two bodyguards with the "Fierce Finger," Tang Yu shook his head disdainfully, glancing at his finger.
Because he moved so fast and was enveloped in true energy, not a drop of blood stained him!
Such a clean and hygienic move!
"Tang Yu?" Seeing Tang Yu suddenly appear, Yang Zhilan's eyes lit up, wondering if she was dreaming.
This guy couldn't be reached by phone just moments ago.
How did he suddenly show up?
Tang Yu chuckled, his gaze falling on the other bodyguards who were eager to move. "What? Are your butts itching too?"
Hearing this, the bodyguards glanced at their fallen comrades, feeling a chill and hesitating to act.
Damn, they had really encountered a master.
"Who are you, kid? How dare you interfere in the Yang family's affairs?" Yang Chongshan growled, his face dark.
"Hey, I'm interfering, so what?" Tang Yu grinned slyly, looking at Yang Chongshan with disdain.
According to the plot spoilers given by the system, this father and son duo were already under Ye Qiu's influence.
After Ye Qiu contacted them, he proposed helping them suppress the Yang family from the outside, allowing them to seize power smoothly.
Of course, this was just part of Ye Qiu's revenge against the Yang family.
He wanted the Yang family to collapse from within, and then slowly crush them to death!
Then, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yang Zhilan, Tang Yu shamelessly declared to everyone, "I'll be straight with you, I'm here to take your family assets."
"???" The Yang family members looked at Tang Yu with question marks all over their faces.
Was there really such a shameless person in the world?
Yang Zhilan didn't expect Tang Yu to pull such a stunt either, staring at him with wide eyes.
"What right do you have to divide our family assets? What does this have to do with you?" Yang Chongshan laughed in anger.
At least they would find an excuse; was this outsider truly lawless?
"All the assets go to her, then she marries me, and those assets become her dowry, which means they're mine," Tang Yu said confidently.
For a moment, everyone was stunned by his shamelessness.
Was there really such a gigolo?
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?" Yang Chongshan's son, with a hot temper, pulled out a fruit knife and charged at Tang Yu with red eyes.
As a cannon fodder villain, their character was often this foolish.
Even knowing they couldn't win, they would still act when the time came.
Tang Yu secretly worried for these peers and, with a reverse grip, took the knife and stabbed it into the son's stomach.
The white knife went in, and the red knife came out.
Feeling the pain in his stomach, the guy clutched his bleeding belly, took two steps back, and sat on the ground, screaming.
"Sarilang, Sarilang," an old lady with unclear speech shouted in fear.
Yang Zhilan also widened her eyes, looking at Tang Yu, "Are you serious?"
"This is self-defense, you can testify for me," Tang Yu chuckled, dropping the fruit knife without a hint of panic.
"This is outrageous! Yang Zhilan, you're unbelievable, colluding with an outsider to harm your family. From today on, the Yang family won't tolerate you!" Yang Chongshan shouted, his face green with anger, holding his son.
"Where's the doctor? Get the doctor here, and you bodyguards, are you just standing there? Beat him to death."
Without a word, the bodyguards moved to act.
There was no need for Tang Yu to lift a finger.
Lu Junzhuo had already rushed forward, practicing the "Fierce Finger" that Tang Yu had taught him on these people.
