Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Bai Chuwei Moves In with Ulterior Motives

Merge our households?

Everyone was stunned!

Our families had been separate since my grandfather’s era, and at this point, our relationship could at most be considered distant kin. As the saying goes, “Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors,” so we were basically just strangers with a family name in common. And now merge households?

Merging had happened before, usually when a son or daughter who had married or been married off returned to their parent’s home. To witness families merging that spanned three to four generations upward was almost impossible!

Bai Chuwei actually proposed merging households?

Currently, the Liu family under Liu Jingyuan’s leadership was in its prime, having consolidated all of the Tang Family’s former enterprises. They were truly the leading aristocratic family in the Imperial Capital, so the outcome of merging–

It was impossible for our Liu family to be on equal footing with Liu Jingyuans’s Liu family. That definitely meant our family would be following Liu Jingyuan’s lead.

Liu Yuyou raked her fingers through her hair, nearly going mad, “Bai Chuwei, you’re an outsider and have no right to meddle and throw out such rotten ideas!”

Liu Yuyou regretted her words. Ever since Liu Zheng went insane, in truth, it was she who had taken control of their family. But most of the shares were still in Liu Zheng’s hands, and she hadn’t yet transferred them fully into her possession. So if Liu Zheng was lucid, he truly had the right to make decisions for the whole Liu family.

What a disaster! Tong Qingyan, my junior fellow, was right; Bai Chuwei was a top-level menace who had now brought trouble to her own family.

Bai Chuwei lifted her hand and rubbed her temples, becoming impatient, “You’re too noisy.”

Noisy?

This was involving all her assets. If it were someone else, they would be hysterical, screaming, and going crazy! Even Liu Yuyou thought she was being too composed; anyone else would have wanted to tear Bai Chuwei’s mouth apart.

Liu Yuyou saw the wavering in Liu Zheng’s eyes and rushed forward, grabbing his arm and crying out, “Big brother, wake up, don’t let them deceive you. Yes, I was wrong about the past issues, but it was our family’s internal matter, and we can resolve it internally. They,”

Liu Yuyou pointed at Liu Jingyuan, then at Bai Chuwei, crying out, “have ill intentions. They want to monopolize our Liu family’s assets. What would our great-grandfather think if he knew from underground?”

“We can’t agree to the merge. If we merge, our entire family will have to obey the Liu family, and you won’t have any authority as the head of the family anymore. You mustn’t agree.”

From being the master of the house, to becoming a family member taking orders,–would you be content?

Liu Yufei stood by, stupefied. He knew something was fishy, but he didn’t know what to say.

Liu Yuyou stared intently at Liu Zheng’s expression, but sadly, she couldn’t read anything.

She didn’t know if he was swayed or had no thoughts on the matter.

But just this alone made her panic.

“Big brother, say something, what are you thinking?”

Liu Zheng’s normally gentle gaze turned cold, “What I think is none of your business. You should worry about how to handle the lawsuit instead.”

Merging households.

Liu Yuyou wasn’t wrong; once Merged, their family would have to listen to Uncle Liu Jingyuan, there would be some areas in the household where he wouldn’t be able to make decisions anymore.

This meant relinquishing a portion of control.

But still…

Liu Zheng looked at Liu Jingyuan’s amiable face, with two smile lines that made him seem like an easy-going uncle. And it was uncle Jingyuan who had gotten him out of the mental hospital this time.

His parents died early, his great-grandfather had also passed away, and he had no elders above him anymore.

It seemed he had already made up his mind, and his mouth opened to speak, but before he could utter the words, Liu Yuyou suddenly cried out, “Big brother, you can’t agree, if you do, our family will be swindled by Bai Chuwei out of five hundred million!”
