Chapter 264 Heir Banquet
Xie Kaiwen looked at Jiang Wanning. He finally figured something out at this moment and muttered, "I was wondering why the old man kept dragging his feet and refused to hold a funeral for him..."
“…It turns out they had colluded from the beginning.”
The man lowered his voice, but soon became serious again. The look he gave Jiang Wanning was also tinged with helplessness for a moment.
"Wan Ning girl, Yan Chuan is my son after all. No matter what, I would never do those things to him."
"So can you tell me what happened to you guys tonight?"
The middle-aged man's expression looked gentle, but Jiang Wanning did not miss the fleeting hint of fierceness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanning didn't bother to be polite with him and said, "Come on, this trick of yours can only fool a three-year-old."
The Xie family's succession ceremony was imminent, and since Jiang Wanning came today, she was not prepared to maintain the superficial decency with Xie Kaiwen anymore.
She was ready to completely break up with the other party.
After all, with what happened tonight, even if Xie Kaiwen really didn't participate, it's impossible that he was completely unaware of it.
When his own son was in danger, he was the first to guess that the person behind the scenes was his father. How much of his so-called concern for his son was true?
Although Jiang Wanning holds grudges, he truly protects his children.
Since he is the person she has chosen, she will never be polite to others if they want to hurt him.
It was just like when she threw herself wholeheartedly into Shi Wang before.
On the other hand, Xie Kaiwen obviously did not expect that Jiang Wanning would refute his words in such an impolite manner.
After all, although Jiang Wanning had occasionally shown some strong attitudes before, she still maintained a reasonable politeness towards him, her "nominal father-in-law".
This was the first time that Jiang Wanning had shown such a completely disloyal attitude towards him.
The middle-aged man never thought that, apart from that "rebellious son" Xie Yanchuan, he would one day be humiliated in public by an unrelated "young-haired girl".
His face suddenly turned dark blue, and the mask of "kindness" that he had deliberately pretended to have was completely gloomy at this moment: "Jiang Wanning, watch your words."
"You are just an outsider who has not yet married into the family. You are lucky enough to be valued by the old man. Do you really take yourself seriously?"
"And I am Xie Yanchuan's biological father after all. If you want to marry him without my consent, do you think it's justifiable in front of our ancestors?"
Jiang Wanning stared at Xie Kaiwen's face, which had obviously become mean and vicious, and was a little confused for a moment.
How could a man like this give birth to such an outstanding son like Xie Yanchuan?
"You should be thankful that you are Xie Yanchuan's biological father."
Otherwise, today's incident might not be as simple as Jiang Wanning and him falling out.
However, she was anxious to find the whereabouts of Xie Yanchuan and was in no mood to continue arguing with Xie Kaiwen. After saying this, she no longer cared about the man who was jumping up and down behind her and walked straight out of the Xie family's door.
Jiang Wanning left in a hurry and naturally did not notice that shortly after she left, Xie Kaiwen's originally angry face suddenly changed to a gloomy expression.
At the same time, he urgently called an unfamiliar number on his phone and angrily asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Didn't we agree not to do anything tonight?"
"Fifth brother."
A calm female voice on the other side seemed to smile: "When did you start playing the role of a loving father and a filial son?"
"Tsk, you don't know, the girl from the Jiang family came to our house just now."
"I wish that rebellious son would die sooner, but I'm not prepared to offend the Jiang family because of this."
After all, Jiang Wanning is now in power at the Jiang headquarters. If he can keep her stable, it may be a great help to him when he really regains the position of head of the family.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the woman opposite him suddenly sneered: "You stupid brain, haven't you guessed it yet?"
"Since Xie Yanchuan is fine, then the eldest son of the Jiang family who died with him must be fine too. She and Jiang Qingyan seized power and split the entire Jiang family into two. Ultimately, it was all for show for outsiders like us."
The woman's sarcastic words made Xie Kaiwen's breathing stop and he was obviously speechless for a moment.
After a while, he came back to his senses and spoke again, "Did you catch that kid Xie Yanchuan?"
"Of course, you're still not confident in my work? Do you think everyone is as useless as you?"
Under the shadows on the other end of the phone, the older woman's sharp lips seemed to curl into a cold smile at this moment: "Don't worry, I guarantee that he will not show up at the May Day handover ceremony for the head of the family."
With the other party's assured reply, Xie Kaiwen finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, his sinister eyes flashed with many obscure emotions as he looked out the window at the increasingly heavy rain.
Xie Kaiwen clenched his knuckles at the last moment, and a look of determination flashed across his weathered brows.
"Xie Yanchuan, don't blame me, your father, for being cruel. The truth is, you shouldn't have appeared in this world in the first place."
"If it weren't for you, the position of Patriarch of the Xie family would have been mine long ago."
"Even though it took some effort, this is mine. No one can take it away from me..."
…
May Day is coming soon.
During this period, Jiang Wanning often asked her elder brother to send people to find Xie Yanchuan's whereabouts.
But unfortunately, the final result is always "no news".
The group of people who took him away obviously had considerable influence in Beijing, so Jiang Wanning and the others were unable to find Xie Yanchuan's whereabouts for a while.
For this reason, Jiang Wanning had to discuss with Mr. Xie in advance and draw up a new plan for today's heir handover ceremony.
Until this day actually comes.
All the branches of the Xie family from four generations gathered together today.
There were a lot of people, and the density seemed even greater than the Spring Festival family dinner that Jiang Wanning had attended that day.
After all, it is a major event for the entire family to change the head of the family once every hundred years. All the descendants of the Xie family, no matter how distant the relationship, gathered together today.
In addition to the importance attached to this ceremony, there were also many people who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news of Xie Yanchuan's "death".
Seeing this scene, Mr. Xie also sighed softly at Jiang Wanning at this time: "Wanning girl, I'm going to trouble you with today's matter."
"Don't worry, old man."
After receiving Jiang Wanning's consent, the old man raised his hand and asked the servants who had been waiting for a long time to push him to the front of the stage, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Xie family.
