His sudden outburst left everyone staring blankly, unsure what had happened.
Yu Ze was startled, clutching Di Mingjue’s hand tightly.
The old lady, confused, quickly asked, "Minghao, what are you doing?"
Di Minghao glared at Di Mingjue as if he were an enemy and then turned his displeased gaze to the old lady, "It's all because you're biased. We are all Di family children, yet you only care for him. If it weren't for your favoritism, would he be so arrogant, looking down on us other brothers?"
"You, what nonsense are you spouting!" The old lady, enraged, reached for her cane.
Before it could strike Di Minghao, he forcefully snatched the cane from her hand.
With a crack, he slammed the cane onto the floor.
"Isn't it true? He was incapacitated for three years, and the moment he woke up, he reclaimed the position of Di family patriarch. Dong Sheng, due to his suppression, was forced to go abroad with his entire family and cannot return. The entire company is dictated by him alone. We all share the Di surname, so why do all the benefits fall to him? Now, with his sight and mind impaired, he refuses to engage in profitable business."
After Di Minghao finished speaking, his aunt also chimed in.
"Mingjue, this is where you are in the wrong. Could your cousin possibly harm you? He approached you for cooperation precisely because he sees us as family and believes in earning money together. By rejecting him so outright, do you think we are unworthy of being your family, or do you simply doubt your cousin's capabilities?"
In an instant, the others present seized the moment of chaos and began to criticize Di Mingjue's way of doing things in a cacophony of voices.
The hall was filled with noisy arguments, giving the impression that the roof might be blown off.
"Are you sure it's a good project?" Di Mingjue produced a stack of documents and tossed them at Di Minghao. "I specifically had people conduct an geological survey on the land in the western suburbs. The ground is all mud, making foundation construction impossible, and building a resort is out of the question. During construction, there's a high chance of worker accidents. With such a project, would anyone be foolish enough to invest?"
Di Minghao flipped through the documents in his hands, his previously eloquent mouth falling silent. His face turned ashen, devoid of any color. He furiously crumpled the papers into a ball and threw them away in a fit of rage, "No, this isn't true. Everything is a deliberate smear by you. You're just selfish and unwilling to invest, deliberately hiring people to falsify these documents."
"Heh, not everyone is as greedy and foolish as you are," Di Mingjue retorted mockingly. "Your ulterior motive in wanting me to join this project is simply to skim off a portion of the profits, isn't it?"
Di Minghao's face flushed with embarrassment and shame; all his thoughts and intentions were laid bare by Di Mingjue.
The western suburbs project indeed had problems. He had thought Di Mingjue would invest due to their familial connection. Even after being rebuffed at the company, he still believed that by making a scene at the old lady's, he would get what he wanted.
He never imagined that Di Mingjue would uncover all his flaws, even presenting them as evidence before him.
With matters reaching this point, he had no room to retreat and stubbornly retorted, "You're slandering me!"
"Do you really think I knew nothing while lying in bed all these years? Of the few collaborations you initiated during that time, not a single one broke even, and your fund flow was in an abnormal state, with ten percent entering your pockets. You swaggered around, defrauding others, relying on the backing of the Di family. Many businesses you partnered with were on the brink of bankruptcy. Now that no one is cooperating with you, you intend to extend your sinister reach to Di Jue Group. Am I wrong in any of this?"
Di Mingjue's words left everyone stunned. Di Minghao dared not utter a single word. Since Di Mingjue knew, he must have investigated. If further evidence was produced, Di Minghao would be completely finished.
