    Chapter 99 Usurping Your Position as Head of the Family

    Shi Qingyan opened the suitcase Mo Yao mentioned, and the contents were beyond Qin Tingshen’s expectations.

    “Baby, why did you have him prepare this kind of thing? Do you even know how to use it?”

    Shi Qingyan picked it up and assembled it. “This is the most useful, isn’t it? Besides, why would I have him prepare it if I didn’t know how to use it?”

    Ji Yang rolled his eyes from the side, thinking, “Why ask such pointless questions?”

    Qin Tingshen thought about it, and it was indeed true.

    His baby was really amazing, he loved him to death.

    This kind of thing would be the most useful in tomorrow’s situation.

    The next day, Shi Qingyan and the other two disguised themselves as servants in the Xiao household.

    They wouldn’t casually offer help unless necessary, so as not to disrupt Xiao Changming’s plans.

    The three were hiding in a corner, being lazy, watching the people coming and going, shaking their heads and sighing.

    It wasn’t good for a family to be too big. Look, there were so many people, if not two hundred, then three hundred.

    Including all their relatives, they only had a few dozen people. This was ridiculous, two or three hundred.

    How could anyone keep track of who was who?

    Just as they were sighing, someone shouted at them: “Hey, you three, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help out. If you slack off again, I’ll deduct your wages.”

    The three lazily walked over, carrying wine glasses and weaving through the crowd.

    No, when this was over, they had to get money from Xiao Changming.

    What was their status? They had come to be his servants. This didn’t make sense.

    Xiao Changming: I didn’t ask you to come.

    The three wandered around in the crowd for a while, then went back to being lazy.

    Xiao Changming stood on the third floor, looking at the people coming and going in the courtyard, his expression cold and solemn.

    “Is everything arranged?”

    The bodyguard behind him replied, “Reporting to the master, everything is arranged. We guarantee they won’t return.”

    Xiao Changming glanced at the time and turned to go downstairs.

    When Xiao Changming appeared in the banquet hall, everyone gathered around.

    Looking at the noble, indifferent, and aloof man, the noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

    Ji Yang looked straight at Xiao Changming as he slowly descended the stairs.

    Why did Xiao Changming look so handsome today?

    Ji Yang withdrew his gaze and tried to be invisible in the corner.

    Xiao Changming seemed to sense something, looking towards a corner where three unremarkable servants were standing.

    He scanned the hall, his gaze finally settling on someone in the middle of the hall.

    Xiao Changming stopped on the last three steps, his voice chilling, “Today is a family banquet, everyone, please feel free to enjoy yourselves.”

    After speaking, he prepared to go upstairs.

    “Head of the family, don’t rush off. Stay and have a drink.”

    “That’s right, Changming, so many relatives are here. How can you leave everyone and go back to your room?”

    “Changming, you’re not young anymore. When do you plan to find a wife?”

    Xiao Changming coldly glanced at them, his thin lips slightly parted, his tone arrogant and wild: “Mind your own business.”

    After speaking, he went upstairs.

    The people in the hall were dissatisfied, cursing Xiao Changming in low voices.

    “He’s just relying on being the head of the family. Why is he so arrogant?”

    “Bah, what do you think you are? You’re just acting all high and mighty now that you’ve become the head of the family.”

    “Without the status of head of the family, let’s see how much longer you can be so arrogant.”

    Ji Yang was furious, wishing he could sew up the mouths of these people.

    They just knew how to spout nonsense and didn’t have any skills.

    He took out a small bottle from his pocket, grinned wickedly, and quietly mixed into the crowd.

    “Let you curse him, just wait.”

    It took Ji Yang a long time to retreat to the corner, his face full of triumph.

    Shi Qingyan was holding a piece of cake and eating it. When he saw Ji Yang return, he excitedly waited for what was about to happen.

    Xiao Changming returned upstairs, feeling something was strange, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

    Xiao Changming sat irritably in his chair, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window, the smoke swirling, obscuring his expression.

    At this moment, he should be sleeping with Ji Yang in his arms, instead of being here, pining for him.

    That little ingrate was probably sleeping soundly.

    Ugh, he missed his little lamb.

    It really was, one day without sleeping with him felt like three years.

    How many autumns had passed already?

    Xiao Changming saw that it was almost time, got up, and went downstairs again.

    Xiao Changming had a handsome appearance, and the men and women present, except for those who were closely related by blood, had all thought about being his man/woman.

    But Xiao Changming didn’t take a fancy to anyone, and had been single for nearly thirty years.

    Xiao Changming carried a wine glass and walked through the hall towards the door.

    “Bang!”

    A gunshot covered all the noise, the hall was silent for a moment, then there were bursts of exclamations.

    The hall instantly became a mess.

    “Xiao Changming.”

    Xiao Changming turned around and looked at the person pointing a gun at him, Lu Ting.

    This person was the son of his aunt’s family and also had Chinese blood.

    Xiao Changming pretended to be puzzled, “Lu Ting, what do you mean by this?”

    Lu Ting sneered, “Can’t you tell? Naturally, I want to usurp your position as head of the family.”

    Xiao Changming’s face turned cold, his aura murderous, he scanned the hall and looked at Lu Ting: “Lu Ting, what qualifications do you have to be the head of this family?”

    “I’m not qualified? The person who is least qualified is you. You killed my father, you even killed your own uncle, what qualifications do you have?”

    Xiao Changming found it somewhat amusing, “My father was going to kill me, and I couldn’t fight back? What kind of logic is that? Should I just stand there and let him kill me?”

    He remembered how Lu Ting’s father had pointed a gun at him in the same way, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

    If Xiao Changming hadn’t been wearing a bulletproof vest, his grave would probably be two meters tall by now.

    And he wouldn’t have met his little lamb.

    Xiao Changming directly shot Lu Ting’s father in the head, and the person whose grave was two meters tall became Lu Ting’s father.

    Lu Ting’s face was contorted, he roared in anger: “Shut up!”

    More and more people around him took out guns, pointing them at Xiao Changming.

    Those who didn’t want to be involved in the struggle for the position of head of the family all hid far away.

    Xiao Changming faced so many black gun muzzles, his expression unchanged.

    “Lu Ting, if I were you, I wouldn’t be so stupid.”

    With a gesture from Xiao Changming, many bodyguards poured in from all parts of the hall, their guns aimed at Lu Ting’s people.

    The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.

    Many people moved towards the hall door, stepping out of the hall, running away with their tails between their legs, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

    Lu Ting looked at the bodyguards who had appeared and didn’t panic at all.

    Ji Yang, who was hiding in the corner, was on tenterhooks, looking at Xiao Changming with worry.

    He knew that he had a plan and would be fine, but seeing so many guns pointed at Xiao Changming, Ji Yang couldn’t help but worry.

    Shi Qingyan held his shoulder, reassuring him in a low voice: “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”

    Ji Yang clenched his fists tightly, staring at Xiao Changming intently.

    Lu Ting smiled mockingly, “Xiao Changming, you really think I only have this many people?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, another group of men in black entered the hall, confronting the bodyguards.

    Shi Qingyan cursed the idiot who wanted to usurp the throne in his heart. If he wanted to kill, he should just kill directly, why talk so much?

    Didn’t he know that villains die from talking too much?

    “Ah Choo~”

    Lu Ting sneezed and looked at Xiao Changming, “Even if you curse me in your heart, it’s useless. I’m going to be the head of this family.”

    “Lu Ting, this position of head of the family is not so easy to hold. Do you really think just anyone can become the head of the family?”

    The disdain in Xiao Changming’s eyes stung Lu Ting.
