Chapter: 2832

Seeing He Hongsheng’s firm attitude, Su Anshun felt a wave of panic. He couldn’t understand why He Hongsheng had changed his mind so suddenly, and he worried about how he would explain this to his boss when he got back.

Desperate, Su Anshun pleaded, “Ho Lao, if you’re not happy with the money, just say so! Our master said that two billion is just a starting point. If that’s not enough for you, we can increase it to three billion. What do you think?”

“Three billion?!” He Yingquan, who was standing nearby, was nearly in shock. He couldn’t grasp what three billion really meant. All he could think about was how that amount could buy bigger luxury houses, larger yachts, and even bigger private jets.

With wide eyes, He Yingquan looked at his father and exclaimed, “Dad! What are you waiting for? This is three billion!”

But He Hongsheng replied coldly, “Even if it were thirty billion, I would still refuse!”

Su Anshun was taken aback. He had thought that if He Hongsheng didn’t like the three billion offer, they could simply negotiate a bit more. But it became clear that there was no point in trying to raise the offer.

His mood darkened, and he nodded slowly, saying, “Alright then! What’s your last name?”

He pointed at He Hongsheng and, gritting his teeth, added, “Old man, you’re turning down a generous offer. I’ll make sure to remember this for our master. If you regret this decision in the future, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

He Hongsheng spoke firmly, “If you want to remember, I, He Hongsheng, am not afraid of anything!” He slammed his hand on the table and added coldly, “Come here! See him off!”

“No need!” Su Anshun replied through gritted teeth. “I’ll go by myself!” He shot He Hongsheng a bitter look and left the dining room without looking back.

He Ying, feeling anxious, exclaimed, “Dad! Are you crazy?! We can’t afford to upset the Su family!”

He Hongsheng replied sternly, “I am the head of the He family, and I will handle the consequences.”

Understanding it was best not to argue with his father, He Ying quickly turned and ran after Su Anshun.

Outside the He family mansion, Su Anshun felt resentful as he noticed several buses and trucks approaching. When the first bus came to a stop, he stepped up and told the driver, “Just me, take me to the airport!”

The driver looked surprised, but before he could respond, He Ying rushed over and leaned against the bus door. “Steward Su, please calm down!”

“Calm down?” Su Anshun glared at He Ying. “I have every right to be angry! Your family thinks they can handle things now, but we’ll see about that!”

He Ying quickly replied, “Steward Su, listen to me. My father is stubborn and old. Just give me some time, and I will talk to him. I promise you’ll get a good answer!”

Su Anshun scoffed, “Come on, He Ying. I know your father’s character all too well. If you could convince him, you would already be the head of the He family, not him! He’s in his eighties and won’t pass it to you, which shows he doesn’t trust your abilities!”

“How can he listen to your persuasion?” Su Anshun’s words made He Yingquan blush.

Although Su Anshun was trying to stir trouble, there was some truth in what he said. He Yingquan realized that He Hongsheng had not passed on the position of Patriarch to him yet because he didn’t trust his abilities or his commitment. This was something He Yingquan had been complaining about for a long time.

He knew that if he lived in ancient times, he would be the prince. But he also understood that most emperors didn’t step down until they were in their eighties. This situation almost forced the prince to rebel.

Hearing Su Anshun’s words filled He Yingquan with anger.
