Chapter 306 Disrupting the Chris Family
Chris swiftly arranged everything and prepared to convene a clan meeting amidst the chaos.
Some people support Chris, while others oppose him.
[The young master is finally going to inherit the family business. From now on, we'll all work for him.]
[What nonsense are you spouting? The old patriarch is still alive. When did it become the young master's turn to speak at the patriarchal meeting?]
【Young Master, please don't take offense. I'm just stating the facts. The clan leader's badge is still in the old clan leader's hands. This meeting isn't your responsibility yet. Once you have the badge, we will naturally follow your orders.】
"What are you saying? The young master is the future clan leader. What's wrong with him exercising his rights? Don't forget, the clan leader isn't awake yet, so everything should be decided by the young master."
Chris remained unmoved as he watched them argue fiercely; he didn't have much affection for this family.
But he didn't want this family to become an obstacle to his happiness.
"Have you all finished speaking? Since you don't want to listen to me, why did you call me back to take charge? Or are you just jealous of my success and want to make things difficult for me?"
Chris's icy tone sent chills down everyone's spines, and the chattering discussion instantly fell silent.
“You are our young master. The old patriarch is unconscious, so it is normal for you to take charge of the overall situation. We have no objections.”
"Yes, but you can't make the decisions at the clan council; you need the clan chief's badge."
There were also several elderly people present, sitting there motionless with very serious expressions, seemingly not taking Chris seriously.
One of the elders said, "Young Master Chris, we respect you, which is why we came to the clan meeting you organized, but that doesn't mean we have to obey your decisions. You don't have the right to order us around."
Chris jumped to his feet, looking extremely arrogant: "Then why did you call me back? Just to listen to your nonsense? If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about."
He was prepared to leave immediately; the timing wasn't quite right yet, as these old fogies weren't willing to listen to him.
Taking out the clan leader's badge at this time could very well backfire.
But when they saw that Chris had no intention of staying, the old fogies relented.
"Chris, stop right there."
"Where are you going? You convened this meeting today, and you have to carry it on!"
Chris, with his nonchalant attitude, didn't take any of this seriously.
"You called me back to take charge of the overall situation. If I don't hold this meeting, how can I lead it? And now that you're not listening to me, what's the point of me holding this meeting?"
He glanced at his watch casually, as if he were in a hurry: "In that case, let's not waste each other's time. I have important matters to attend to, and you can proceed with the family affairs as you see fit."
I don't care anyway.
In the end, he won't be the one who gets anxious.
Elder Mingsi immediately rebuked him: "You... how can you be so willful? Don't forget, no matter what, you are the young master of the family. The honor and disgrace, rise and fall of the family are your mission. You have to take responsibility to the end."
"Make me responsible?"
Chris reacted as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world; even the biggest jokes in the world couldn't be this funny.
"You're all so bossy. How can I take responsibility? Stop making a scene. If this drags on any longer, my girlfriend will run off with someone else."
Hearing him say that made the other elders even more uncomfortable.
The eldest daughter of the Iman family was chosen by them through joint selection and is the most suitable to be the future matriarch of the Chris family.
Chris just doesn't like her, and now he's got a girlfriend. Isn't that just making us a laughing stock for the other families?
The elders grew angrier the more they thought about it.
Elder Mingsi was the most authoritative person besides the old man. He glanced at Chris with displeasure and said, "You only have one fiancée named Iman. If you don't break up with other women, don't blame the family for taking action against your girlfriend."
Chris's eyes darkened instantly: "You can try it. Think about the consequences of offending the Lu family of China."
Everyone's faces darkened, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
What is that woman's relationship with the Lu family?
"What do you mean?" Ming Si asked in a deep voice.
"You can go and find out where my girlfriend lives," Chris kindly added. "By the way, the child in her belly is very likely my only child."
"By the way, your so-called patriarch's badge has been lost for a long time. As for who will be in charge of the Chris family in the future, that will depend on your abilities."
Chris's words were like a bomb, exciting everyone and causing a noisy commotion in the conference room.
Paul's butler stood there, pale-faced, as if he had been through some kind of shock.
How dare Young Master Chris say that? He actually said it out loud. If others find out that the clan leader's badge is missing, won't the family be thrown into chaos?
Didn't he ever consider the family's interests?
Ming Si's expression was very serious, and his eyes showed suspicion: "Are you serious? The clan leader and the guild leader are really missing?"
"The villa has been collapsed for so long, have you found the badge yet?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, as if they hadn't thought about this question before.
yes.
So many days have passed, and no one has reported finding the clan chief's badge.
Where did the badge go?
Could it be true, as Chris said, that the patriarch's insignia has been lost?
Then who else should they listen to?
Paul the butler immediately stepped forward, desperately trying to explain: "No, no, that's not how it is! The badge isn't lost; it's with the patriarch, it's not lost!"
"Nonsense! We've been taking care of our comatose chieftain for so many days, and we've never found the badge. I was wondering why we hadn't seen it after all this time. Turns out it's just lost."
If someone confirms that Paul's steward lied, then they are certain that the patriarch's badge is indeed missing.
Does that mean...?
If they find the badge before the patriarch does, they will be in charge of the entire Chris family.
If that's the case...
"You can investigate it yourselves; I won't keep you company."
Chris knew he had achieved his goal.
The Chris family needs to descend into chaos in order to break all the rules and grow anew.
He turned and left, appearing as if he had kept his achievements hidden, leaving behind a group of people with different thoughts.
——
Paul the butler hurriedly chased after him, sternly rebuking Chris. He took a few more steps forward, his attitude very firm, and questioned, "Young Master, how could you say such an important thing? Don't you know that those elders are coveting the position of clan leader?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"What?"
Paul was suddenly taken aback: "But this is your family. You are the young master of the Chris family. How could it not be related to you?"
How could you say that?
Chris didn't care: "Butler Paul, family matters are none of your business. You have no right to object to my decision."
"I...."
Paul couldn't understand how things had turned out this way. Young Master Chris had been fine before, so why... why had he become so unfamiliar?
Chris walked past Paul and left without going anywhere else, but went directly to Lu Jingxiao's manor.
He already missed Bai Yuxin after only one day apart.
I wonder how she and the baby are doing today?
