Chapter 250 I Can't Stand This

Beneath the honest and simple appearance of the middle-aged man, there was a fleeting gloom between his eyebrows that was not noticed by others.

But it did not escape Jiang Wanning's attention.

She couldn't help but purse her lips.

Xie Kaiwen is a good guy, and it's justifiable for the sake of face at the moment.

It seemed as if he was thinking about Jiang Wanning when he said these words, but in fact, he was on guard against her as an outsider.

pity……

Since Jiang Wanning came here today, it meant that she was not going to do as they wished.

She immediately covered her eyes and eyebrows with her hands, deliberately pretending to be affectionate, yet pitiful and "fragile".

"Father, I know you are thinking about your daughter, but ever since I was with Yan Chuan, I have had a deep bond with him. I decided then and there that he was the only one I could have."

When Jiang Wanning called him this, Xie Kaiwen was speechless.

"So even if he's gone, I'll..."

Jiang Wanning spoke with tears in her eyes, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.

“Isn’t this nonsense!?”

A stern male voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man who looked a little younger but couldn't suppress the anger on his face. He was staring at Jiang Wanning.

It was Xie Yanchuan’s sixth uncle, Xie Yaowen.

Xie Yaowen is the youngest among the three generations of the Xie family.

He is also from the lineage of Mr. Xie's younger brother. Apart from the fifth brother Xie Kaiwen, he is the most likely candidate to inherit the Xie family.

After all, with such a huge family business, it is inevitable that everyone would want to have a piece of it.

Xie Yaowen gritted his teeth at this time: "Old man, please say something!"

All the people sitting in the Xie family at this moment are old foxes.

However, after hearing what Xie Yaowen said, they all turned their eyes away, not daring to look at Mr. Xie. It was obvious that he was being treated as the one who got out of the way.

Xie Yaowen himself was completely oblivious to all this. "Are you really planning to hand over this century-old family business of our Xie family to an outsider?"

The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, the whole room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone has their own ulterior motives.

Although he pretended to be busy with his own affairs, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the old man with closed eyes sitting in the main seat.

As if he finally noticed the abnormality, he calmly opened his eyes which had been closed.

Those cloudy eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance.

The aura of majesty without anger is so oppressive that it makes people feel breathless at this moment.

“…”

It was also because of this incident that the Xie family members who had been harboring ulterior motives just now buried their heads even deeper, not daring to look the old man in the eye again.

Including Xie Yaowen, they all wilted the moment they met Mr. Xie's gaze.

Naturally, they also missed the flash of disdain that passed through the eyes of the old man in the high position.

These guys who think they are smart, they are full of little ideas, but when they really encounter something, they dare not even say a word.

Looking at the situation today, if any of them had dared to stand up and confront him head-on, he would not have waited for Xie Yanchuan to show up before deciding on the position of the current head of the family.

Thinking of this, the old man cleared his throat.

Under the gaze of several people who dared not look up, he closed his eyes again: "I'm tired."

"Wan Ning girl, push me back and let me rest."

In this way, Mr. Xie clearly showed his intention to protect Jiang Wanning.

“Yeah.”

At this moment, Jiang Wanning also held back the tears she was about to shed. After glancing at the other people in the room, she walked forward and happily pushed Mr. Xie out of the living room.

…

It was also after the two people left and their figures completely disappeared.

In the living room, Xie Yaowen was the first among the few people who had remained silent to slam the table: "I'm not saying anything, but what does this mean, old man?"

"Xie Yanchuan is dead now. Could it be that he really planned to hand over the Xie family to outsiders?"

Xie Kaiwen said awkwardly at this time: "That girl from the Jiang family may seem proud now, but in the end, she has nothing to do with Yan Chuan."

"Grandfather must have his own considerations. He would never make a decision like this that would be unacceptable to the public."

"Sixth brother, you still think too much."

He believed that he knew Mr. Xie very well, so he did not make any comments when the old man made that statement just now.

After all, no matter what, the century-old family business of the Xie family was built up by the old man single-handedly. I think the other party would be more unwilling to see the Xie family fall into the hands of others and become a wedding dress for others than them.

Jiang Wanning is just a potential marriage partner...

To put it bluntly, once Mr. Xie is gone, won't they be able to cancel the engagement and let her stir up trouble again?

“…”

"I also think that what Lao Wu said makes sense."

There was another silence.

In the living room, the eldest sister of the Xie family, who had been silent all this time, finally made the first announcement of the day.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once she did, it was like a fuse that completely ignited Xie Yaowen.

"Okay, each of you, did you just push me to be the scapegoat for that sinner?"

"Why didn't you all say a word when the old man was here just now?"

"Are you telling me this about being considerate of him now? Have you forgotten who proposed this at the very beginning of today's family meeting?!"

Today's family meeting was initiated by Xie Kaiwen, and instigated by his eldest brother Xie Zhiwen. The purpose was to force the old man to change the original candidate for the successor to the Xie family before May Day.

After all, no matter what, the head of this family can't really let a person die, right?

Everyone had already discussed a series of countermeasures before meeting Mr. Xie, which led to the scene just now.

However, they did not expect that an "uninvited guest" like Jiang Wanning would show up at the originally scheduled family meeting and completely disrupt their original plans.

But Xie Yaowen was a man who could not hide things after all, and only now did he finally come to his senses and realize that he had been backstabbed by his brothers and sisters.

Now that he was furious, he was even more outspoken: "Fifth brother, you can't be the only good guy here and let me be a fool outside, right?"

"And you just said that this matter depends entirely on the old man's wishes."

"But what if... he really wants that girl from the Jiang family to take over the Xie family after Xie Yanchuan?"

Xie Yaowen's sinister eyes flashed at this moment: "Fifth brother, you are the only legitimate descendant among our group of brothers and sisters. You were suppressed by your own son before, do you want to be suppressed by your son and daughter-in-law again now?"

"You can bear this, but I can't bear it for you!"
