Hearing this, An Lan couldn't help but shed tears.
An Zhenxiong looked at An Ci with a complicated look, "You all go out, An Ci and Shen Mo stay."
Worried that he would blame An Ci, An Lan wanted to say something but was stopped by Song Xiunian.
"Don't worry, the cub will handle it himself."
A group of people retreated and closed the door.
The living room returned to silence.
An Ci winked at Shen Mo, then walked forward and smiled sweetly, "Grandpa, if you're angry, why don't you beat me up again?"
An Zhenxiong narrowed his eyes, his expression serious, "You still know that I'm angry?"
An Ci squatted down in front of him, placed a hand on his knee, and smiled slightly, "Well, Grandpa, if you feel that beating me up won't vent your anger, how about this? I won't be the Young Master anymore, and you'll deprive me of my qualification as heir..."
"shut up."
An Zhenxiong frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by 'not being the Young Master'? Can you just say something like that?"
An Ci acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, "Then what else can we do?"
An Zhenxiong glanced at the others, then looked at her, feeling overwhelmed.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then sighed.
"You'll piss me off to death sooner or later." He raised his hand and flicked her forehead.
An Ci pretended to be in pain and cried out "ouch".
"Stop pretending." An Zhenxiong laughed angrily, "Just sit firmly in the position of Young Master. As for the elders, go and convince them yourself. If you can't convince them, then..."
An Ci's eyes lit up and he took over the conversation, "So you don't have to be the young master?"
"You wish." An Zhenxiong snorted coldly and glanced in the direction of Shen Mo, "Don't even think about being with Shen Mo."
Shen Mo reacted very quickly, "Grandpa An, this is what you said. As long as I can convince the elders, you will agree that Xiao Ci and I can be together."
An Zhenxiong said calmly, "Let's wait until she can do it."
Anci, "..."
No, why didn't anyone ask her opinion?
An Zhenxiong added, "There's one more thing, Shen Mo. You should take care of your family's affairs yourself, otherwise I won't feel comfortable letting my son be with you."
Shen Mo understood, nodded, and assured, "I know."
Even if he didn't mention it, he wouldn't put the cub in danger.
Because of the incident between An Ci and Shen Mo, and the revelation that An Ci was a girl, no one slept the whole night.
An Zhenxiong, in particular, said that he would let An Ci take responsibility for persuading the elders, but in fact he was soft-hearted and racked his brains to think of how to help An Ci deal with the aftermath.
In order to be with An Ci as soon as possible, Shen Mo stopped hiding his true intentions and left the An family the next day.
Before leaving, he only left a sticky note for An Ci.
An Ci saw the words "wait for me" and snorted proudly.
The next day, An Ci summoned the elders and announced the secret that she was a girl.
When the elders heard the news, they almost fainted on the spot.
Everyone looked at An Zhenxiong, who was sitting in the first seat, in disbelief.
The elder's face was as pale as a palette, "Master, you..."
An Ci realized that they must have misunderstood and quickly said, "This has nothing to do with my grandfather. He just found out about it."
She stood up and said calmly, "This is my fault. I kept it a secret from the elders. I also know that it will be difficult for you to accept this matter all at once."
"This..." The Fifth Elder was embarrassed, "But there has never been a woman in the An family as the Young Master in the past hundred years."
The other elders nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, An Ci said directly, "Okay, then I'm quitting. You guys find someone else to take the job."
The elders, “…”
An Zhenxiong glanced at her and surprisingly didn't say anything.
If Zizi wants to secure the position of young master, she must get all the elders to stand on her side, and she has to do it herself.
The elders looked at each other, then looked at An Ci, and then thought about the situation of the An family.
After An Yiyao and his men betrayed them, they began to look at An Ci with new eyes. She was not as spoiled as they had imagined.
This time, An Ci was able to openly confess to them the secret that she was a girl, which gave them enough face. If they opposed her becoming the young master, the head of the family would definitely not be able to explain, and their old bones would not be able to do it anymore.
The elders all agreed on the same thing. The Great Elder looked at An Ci and said, "Young Master, that's not what we meant. Although the An family has never had a girl as Young Master, I believe in your abilities. Given time, you will definitely be able to stand on your own, but..."
He paused, and An Ci was not in a hurry. He sat back in his chair and waited for his next words.
"You have to take on such a big family business as the An family alone, so it is inevitable that you will be exhausted sometimes. Moreover, the family head's lineage has few descendants. Otherwise, you should put your lifelong event on the agenda as soon as possible." The elder said tactfully.
In contrast, the Seventh Elder was straightforward. "Yes, the First Elder is right. Young Master, how about we arrange a matchmaking event for you and invite all the young talents in the circle to come. You can pick any one you want."
The Great Elder took over, "I've looked at the calendar before, and next year is a good year for marriage. It's best to get married quickly, and then have a child. It will be a double blessing. That way, Young Master, you'll have an heir, and the people below will naturally be unable to say anything."
"The Great Elder is right."
"That makes sense."
The other elders echoed in unison.
Anyway, it is a foregone conclusion that An Ci will become the young master, so why should they go to the trouble of going against the head of the family? Instead of doing that, it would be better to let An Ci get married early and have an heir. If An Ci cannot help himself, at least there is a younger one to rely on.
