The old man felt a pain in his chest when he heard those words.
“It seems that we can’t be family anymore.
“I could grant your wish since you don’t want Huang Yao or your own family. Just don’t come begging on your knees in the future—I would never let you come back to us.
“You want a clean break from the Sheng family, right?
“You would rather be powerless and be a penniless, NEET son-in-law of the family, right?
“I’ll grant all your wish! Everyone, you’ve seen for yourselves: he has given up on everything and doesn’t want to be a grandchild of my family. Well, I won’t force him either!
“From this day, Sheng Xiao is formally disowned. There won’t be a place for him in Huang Yao ever again, and he would have not a penny from my inheritance. The Sheng family would simply pretend that he’s dead, which makes thing simple…”
“I now formally put my second grandson, Sheng Kai in charge of Huang Yao, and be engaged to Miss Gu as soon as possible! Not everyone shirks the things you don’t want.”
“I hope all my guests today would be my witness that Sheng Xiao has betrayed the Sheng family today. He… shall be cursed and shunned by our family forevermore, and remember that face of his—for I ask earnestly for everyone to consider seriously, whether someone like this should be hired with a grand salary if he comes to you asking for work.”
Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao’s dark pupils were brewing with deeper intentions. Was the old man calling for the noble circles of Jianchuan to take him down?
Still, that was fine.
Since he had gone this far, such consequences were within his anticipation!
The other members of the Sheng family looked at Sheng Xiao with sympathy, believing that he had gotten so obsessed he would give up on Huang Yao for Mu Qiqi. But what was even more pitiful was that the rich kids and noble children Sheng Xiao wronged and humiliated would come for blood since he was no longer Crown Prince. Was he fine with that?
Amongst them, however, only Third Brother looked unaffected even as he watched Sheng Xiao.
Naturally, he was laughing and mocking them inwardly: these people were thinking about finding a chance to trample over Eighth Brother, were they not?
“Since you have nothing to do with our family, now get out of my house. I don’t want to see your face for the rest of my life, and I’ll use your room to raise dogs!”
Meanwhile, every guest was left stunned. Jianchuan had been Sheng Xiao’s turf over the years and he had never been afraid of anyone, but the day had come that he would be humiliated by someone else.
From now on, they don’t have to give him a wide berth when they see him…
No, they should get their payback—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
“Then I could only wish your Sheng family to get better as time passes.”
With those words, Sheng Xiao turned around. Finding Mu Qiqi and Xu Che amongst the crowd, he gestured to them that it’s time to retreat when Gu Ziling suddenly told Old Sheng, “Grandpa Sheng, I think I need time to think about my engagement with Second Brother.”
Once again, the guests present were stunned.
Miss Gu was making it clear that she doesn’t like the second young master of the Sheng family.
At the same time, Second Brother appeared rather gloomy.
“Of course. You must be surprised since I didn’t inform you beforehand… but it’ll be fine. You two would have more time together now, and you could tell me when you develop feelings.” Old Sheng quickly tried to smooth things out. “That said, this has nothing to do with Sheng Xiao anymore.”
“But…”

“You have to understand, Ziling. He went so far today all for Mu Qiqi. He would never come back for you!”
“Miss Gu, I have nothing. Even so, I won’t choose to be with you, so don’t hold any expectations over me, or you’ll just end up like your ex!”
Even so, Gu Ziling felt moved by how Sheng Xiao behaved in front of the guest. With his courage to resist his elders, she felt a sense of safety from Sheng Xiao even though she knew that he would never like her.
“Get lost…”
“Go away, Sheng Xiao.”
“The Crown Prince who always had the wind in his sails is now bankrupt! Let’s congratulate Second Young Master!”
All the guests raised their glasses to congratulate Sheng Kai rising as the new Crown Prince of Huang Yao. Perhaps the young lady of the Gu family would become his bride in the new future too?
Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao left the crowd amidst the bustle, with Xu Che going up to meet him. “Chief Sheng, should we…”
“There’s no need.” Sheng Xiao stopped him because he knew Xu Che was loyal and would protect his master from the humiliation.
To Sheng Xiao, however, this was just the start.
The good part had yet to come.
“They are having a rush of blood to the brain, and might come to bother you.”
“Even though I’m not in charge of Zhongteng, no one could hurt me… it would be better with Zhongteng, of course. Let’s go. We’re heading home with Qi’er.”
Though the old man still had more cards up his sleeves, that has nothing to do with him now. Either way, the headlines of all papers would be busy talking about it.
In fact, Sheng Xiao had made a such a high-profile departure to prevent the old man from any path of retreat.
Soon, Third Brother had led Mu Qiqi out of the Shen’s house, the latter of whom dove into Sheng Xiao’s arms once she saw him. “Why would you force me to go through all this?”
Sheng Xiao smiled and pinched her chin. “Don’t get so full of yourself. I’m doing it for myself.”
“Well, you got what you wished. From now on, you’re a beggar every person on Jianchuan would kick around.” Third Brother rolled his eyes. “Did you have to drag your own name through the mud?”
“I have to be thorough if I really want to cut all ties.”
“Well… are we still brothers?”
“I’m never short of a glass of red wine if you’re willing to come find me.”
With that, Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi turned around and got on their black car.
His Eighth Brother was free, though at a great cost.

Back at the party, the guests at the were exceedingly excited. They finally have the chance to get payback from Sheng Xiao.
That said, they were unaware that they would soon encounter a worse and even less merciful Sheng Xiao, an entrepreneur in military hardware who would make you regret for life for crossing him.
“Second Brother, you would shoulder the heavy responsibility of Huang Yao with Third Brother starting from today. I won’t compare you to Eighth Brother now since he’s dead to me.”
“Don’t afford him any courtesy if you see him in the future. Deal with him accordingly, and I would inform our partners to show no leniency towards Sheng Xiao!”
