"I gave you a chance to prove yourself, but you couldn't produce evidence. In public, our eyes are sharp. You said the maid slandered you, why did she do this?" the old man asked.

His tone was as calm as water, as if he was really a fair and just father, trying to give his son a chance to prove his innocence.

It shows his helplessness as the head of the family who cannot favor his son.

Ji Mingyu was amused by his hypocritical appearance.

"Father, if this matter is as you said and has nothing to do with you, then have you ever thought about helping me prove my innocence? I, the heir who is about to take over the Huangfu family for you, has such a bad moral character. Who is it?

Deli? Is it you? Or my other brothers? "

This is not unreasonable, but the old man never thought about protecting his son from beginning to end. He has not forgotten the threat from Ji Mingyu.

"If you feel that you have been wronged, you should provide evidence and don't try to confuse the public here." The old man said every word.

"Confuse the public? Is this necessary? I have bad moral character and cannot get the support of my family. You don't have to hand over power to me. Isn't that what you want to see the most?"

It's one thing to think in your heart, but it's another thing to have someone say it outright.

The old man felt a little pain on his face, and looked at Ji Mingyu with displeasure in his eyes.

"Since you feel you have been wronged, then bring out the evidence. If I really want to frame you, what's the point?"

"Father, dare I swear to God that you don't want to give me your heir?"

After saying this, the old man was stunned, and the surrounding guests were also stunned. They all turned their eyes to the old man, as if waiting for him to swear.

This situation of riding a tiger with a hard time getting off was something he never expected.

And he really didn't want to hand over the Huangfu family to a son who would threaten him.

"What? Father doesn't dare?"

"There is nothing I dare not do. I swear to God now that since I said I will hand over the Huangfu family to you, I will never break my promise. If I violate this oath, I will not end up well."

At this moment, the old man would never have imagined that the vow he made to God would come true in the near future, which was still the most difficult thing for him to accept.

"Since father has sworn, I will believe you once."

The old man's face was always a bit ugly. He had always believed in mysterious things, so he still didn't mind being forced to swear in public.

"Huangfu Mingyu, I swear to God, how are you going to prove that you didn't bully that maid now?"

Ji Mingyu did not answer immediately. His indifferent and distant eyes swept over everyone present, knowing in his heart that he would not be able to escape from this matter if he did not give an explanation today.

The other party seemed to have planned this move to prevent him from taking over the Huangfu family.

The old man and his brothers are all suspects.

"If you intend to frame me, why would you give me a chance to prove my innocence?"

"If this is the case, even if I want to hand over the Huangfu family to you, everyone in the family will not agree." The old man said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the family members who were watching around him immediately echoed his words.

"Yes, Second Master, if you can't prove your innocence, how can we rest assured that a person with corrupt moral character will be in charge of such a large imperial family."

"Yes, I think so too. The Huangfu family does not belong to one person, but to all of us."

"I second the proposal. The Huangfu family has always had regulations that the head of the family must be of high moral character and upright."

"..."

Most of the people who spoke were people from the family branch. They had witnessed the old man announcing that the Huangfu family would be handed over to Ji Mingyu two days ago. They originally suspected that there was an inside story. But now that the old man took the lead in questioning the other party, they all turned against him one by one.

As long as the family leader's ring is not worn, the only family leader they recognize is the old man.

Ji Mingyu looked at them and said without refuting.

It wasn't until the old man raised his hand that the onlookers became quiet.

"Mingyu, you've seen it too. It's not that my father won't help you. There are family rules in the Huangfu family. My father is still the head of the family, so he has to do things fairly and justly. But I promise you here that as long as you find evidence to prove your innocence,

The position of the head of the family is still reserved for you."

The old man said this to appease Ji Mingyu. He didn't need to hand over his position as the head of the family now, and he didn't need to offend him.

"Thank you father."

The matter has reached this point, and Ji Mingyu has no chance to refute.

From the moment the surveillance video appeared, he was destined to lose, and it would be impossible to successfully take over the owner's ring today.

He was curious about who was behind it.

Because it happened during the break, more people knew about it, but because it was at Huangfu's house, no one dared to discuss it openly.

As if what just happened never happened.

The old man left with the guests, and Shu Ziyan came to Ji Mingyu, "Uncle, what's going on?"

"Who do you think it will be when someone plots against you?" Ji Mingyu looked at the guests in the lobby and spoke slowly.

Although Shu Ziyan didn't know the other party's purpose of doing this, she vaguely guessed that the other party didn't want her uncle to take over the Huangfu family.

"Can't guess."

While the two were talking, the old man took the microphone and suddenly spoke.

"Everyone is welcome to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the three-year family meeting of the Huangfu family. Now please move to the conference hall."

The conference hall is in an independent building behind the main building. The building is divided into upper and lower floors. It is very large and can accommodate a thousand people.

The guests followed the old man to the conference hall and sat down according to the name tags on the table.

The old man sat in the main seat, and on the left were several stewards headed by Huangfu Mingyuan. Shu Ziyan did not take the seat, and was arranged to sit on a chair next to him, similar to the kind of auditorium seats.

Jing Heng's current identity is Qin Xiao. He did not sit at the conference table. Instead, he stood up and walked to Shu Ziyan to sit down.

This scene attracted the entire conference hall.

"I never attend family meetings, as you all know, so I won't express my opinions. What I need to express is abstaining from voting. It's just right for me to sit here."

Listening to his serious words, the expressions on everyone's faces were a bit hard to describe.

"You are one of the directors after all." Below the manager is the director, who also has status in the Huangfu family.

"I know, but I just want to be here with my niece."

Everyone: "..."

The old man looked at Qin Xiao deeply, but in the end he said nothing and just followed his wishes.

"Since Qin Xiao is willing to sit there, let him sit and our meeting will continue."

The old man spoke, but the others didn't dare to speak anymore even if they wanted to say something.

The seats were decided just like that.

Shu Ziyan glanced at the man sitting beside her from the corner of her eye, thinking about what the other man had just said, she felt a little helpless.
