Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Young Master is very considerate," Yu Qianchong said with a mere hint of a smile, his expression restrained because Liang Jiankun's appearance here was way too unusual. The Yu Family wasn't acquainted with Liang Jiankun, and there was no way he would have paid a visit specifically for him.

"Heh, you're here too?" Liang Jiankun pretended as if he had just noticed Hao Jian and asked in surprise.

"You talk as if you didn't know I'd be here," Hao Jian replied with a smile.

"Hao Jian, what kind of attitude is that? How dare you speak to the Young Master in such a manner?" Yu Zhixun glared at Hao Jian.

"You're his dog, I'm not. How I talk to him is my business," Hao Jian said with a scornful laugh.

"You..." Yu Zhixun immediately turned green with anger.

"You really haven't changed at all since the beginning, just as arrogant," Liang Jiankun remarked, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

"You're the same as before too, just as annoying," Hao Jian retorted ungraciously.

"Do you know how much I dislike the way you speak?" Liang Jiankun asked, his smile chilling.

Hao Jian shrugged. "I know, but what does that have to do with me? I like it, and that's good enough for me."

"Family Head, I really don't like this guy. Would you mind having him shown out?" Liang Jiankun asked Yu Qianchong with a smile.

At this point, Yu Qianchong and the others had realized that there was some grudge between Liang Jiankun and Hao Jian, and it seemed to be a deep one.

Given this, Yu Qianchong's expression turned to one of helplessness. If he didn't agree, it would be a slight to Liang Jiankun, but driving Hao Jian away was not what he wanted to do.

Hao Jian had saved his life, and to send Hao Jian away would seem ungrateful.

"Who the hell do you think you are, saying 'please leave' as if it's that easy?" Yu Ou suddenly erupted, his brother Hao Jian was being pushed out by Liang Jiankun, how could Yu Ou agree to that?

"Yu Ou, shut your mouth!" Yu Qianchong scolded sternly. Yu Ou didn't realize who Liang Jiankun was, so he dared to speak so recklessly. But Yu Qianchong knew Liang Jiankun's status and was aware that the young man before him was not someone he could afford to offend.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ou could only retreat in frustration but continued to glare at Liang Jiankun.

"Um, Young Master, Hao Jian is my life-saver. Could you, perhaps, for the sake of him saving me, not hold it against him?" Yu Qianchong's words were tinged with appeasement, casting the blame entirely on Hao Jian.

Because Yu Qianchong knew Hao Jian wouldn't get angry, but it was different with Liang Jiankun.@@novelbin@@

"Family Head, it's not that I wish to disrespect you, but he and I have some old scores to settle; he has insulted me before. If he's willing to give me an apology here, I might consider letting bygones be bygones. But I'm not sure if he's willing?"

Liang Jiankun looked at Hao Jian, who was sitting in his chair with his eyes closed as if resting, his smile ambiguous.

Liang Jiankun's words were a mix of sincerity and pretense. In truth, he was somewhat willing to reconcile with Hao Jian since he found Hao Jian's strength daunting. Being enemies with such a powerful individual would inevitably lead to serious consequences.

Yet, Liang Jiankun didn't want to forgive Hao Jian too easily, as that wouldn't do justice to the insults Hao Jian had once hurled at him.

Hearing this, Hao Jian laughed and said, "Want me to apologize to you? What's gotten into your head, water or shit?"

Yu Jiayi, who had been enjoying her meal, set down her chopsticks and looked at Hao Jian with a face full of disgust.

Liang Jiankun laughed and remained silent; naturally, he couldn't curse like Hao Jian, for he was a man of status and position. How could someone of his standing stoop to trade insults with Hao Jian?

"Dad, just listen to him, what is he even saying? How can such a vulgar person deserve to stay here?" Yu Zhixun whispered, egging on Yu Qianchong.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qianchong frowned. Although he did not say anything, his disdain for Yu Zhixun was evident.

Hao Jian had saved his life, yet not only did Yu Zhixun fail to show gratitude, but he also insulted Hao Jian, which deeply troubled Yu Qianchong.

Yu Qianchong's expression was embarrassed, knowing Liang Jiankun was awaiting his response. If his answer did not satisfy Liang Jiankun, he would thoroughly offend him.

"Elder, I've heard that the eldest in your family is competing for a key position in the Military Department, right?" Liang Jiankun suddenly brought up the issue.

At these words, Yu Qianchong and the others' faces went pale instantaneously. It was true that Yu Xiatang was currently vying for a position; securing it would be a celebratory occasion for the entire Yu Family.

But Liang Jiankun's timing in mentioning this was clearly intentional.

"It just so happens that I can also have a say in the Military Department," Liang Jiankun said with a fake smile. "I think he's not quite suitable for the position yet. Let him gain a few more years of experience, and then he can compete for it. That should be about right."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qianchong and the others' faces turned dark as water, while Yu Ou and Yu Jiayi glared at Liang Jiankun furiously.

Yu Jiayi couldn't care less when Liang Jiankun insulted Hao Jian, but now that Liang Jiankun threatened to harm their family, she found it hard to accept.

Furthermore, in Yu Jiayi's view, Liang Jiankun's actions were utterly unmanly and despicable.

"Dad, please think carefully, what's more important, our family's future or this insignificant kid? Is it really worth it to sacrifice a family for him?" Yu Zhixun went on babbling.

"Moreover, the Young Master is leagues above Hao Jian in terms of both status and background. Sure, he saved your life, but haven't we already repaid him with a generous reward?"

Yu Zhixun advocated severing ties with Hao Jian, because without his help, Yu Xiatang would have no chance of succeeding as the Family Head.

With Liang Jiankun's backing, getting the position would be a piece of cake for himself.

"If I slap you twice but then give you compensation, would that be okay?"

Yu Ou was provoked into laughter by Yu Zhixun's shamelessness. Hao Jian saved Yu Qianchong, thus extending the Yu Family's lifeline and enabling their family to prosper for another ten years. Could such a favor ever be repaid? How?

At this moment, Yu Jiayi also frowned, finding Yu Zhixun's words a bit excessive.

"How can you talk like that? Have you forgotten I'm your second uncle? You lack respect. Can friends be more important than the interests of the family? For a friend, would you abandon your relatives?" Yu Zhixun immediately scolded Yu Ou.

"Is it the family's interests or your personal interests? Did you bring this person here today truly to protect family interests?" Yu Ou sneered. Yu Zhixun's words were laughable, as if no one knew what he was up to.

Meanwhile, Yu Qianchong remained silent, his expression hesitant.

"Elder, please make a decision quickly. We can't afford to offend the Young Master," Yu Zhixun urged impatiently.

After a long while, Yu Qianchong finally made up his mind and said to Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, why don't you go back first? We'll have dinner another time."
