There is a solution, which is...
Sheng Huanan's eyes swept back and forth between Sheng Qionghua and Sheng Shijing, hesitating slightly.
In fact, the best and simplest way is to adopt Sheng Shijing under the name of Sheng Shaoqiong.
Regardless of the closeness, age, or his selfish motives, this is the most perfect solution.
I just don't care that I still have some concerns in my heart.
The people from the superpower organization had already come to his door, which meant that they had already set their sights on Sheng Shaoqiong. If he adopted Sheng Shijing under Sheng Shaoqiong's name at this time, he was worried that Sheng Shijing would also be exposed to their sight. If he dug deeper...
Sheng Huanan felt a chill on his back and immediately dismissed the idea that had just arisen in his mind.
But when he raised his eyes, he met two pairs of meaningful eyes. Sheng Huanan's expression paused, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe withdrew their gazes at the same time.
The two exchanged glances, and some vague guesses gradually became clear.
But this was not the time to ask questions. Sheng Shijing squeezed Xie Xihe's hand and stood up before her.
He said directly: "Since we can't reach an agreement on the dispute, let's follow the rules and hold a clan meeting."
For a long-established family like the Sheng family, there are rules to follow in doing everything.
For example, when Sheng Shijing returned to the Sheng family, it was a family meeting convened by Sheng Huanan, and a group of key figures in the Sheng family voted to decide whether Sheng Shijing should stay or go.
The clan association is composed of the main family of Sheng, the elders' council of Sheng and thirty-two side branches. The three parties vote together to make decisions on certain matters.
The Sheng family has always respected the main family. Therefore, in order to ensure the prestige of the main family, the main family has absolute say in the clan meeting vote - a full twenty votes.
In addition, the six clan elders each have three votes, and the thirty-two side branches each have one vote, for a total of seventy votes.
It can be said that in most cases, as long as the decisions made by the host family are not too excessive, they can basically be achieved.
Let’s take the example of Sheng Shijing’s return to the Sheng family.
Because Mr. Sheng had promised in advance that Sheng Shijing would not have the right to inherit the Sheng family, and would only have the title of the third master of the Sheng family.
The head of the Sheng family has twenty votes, and there are also many elders or heads of side branches who are willing to sell Sheng Huanan as long as it does not involve their own interests.
Therefore, the clan association at that time agreed to take Sheng Shijing back to the Sheng family with a big score of 49:21.
Under the current circumstances, holding a clan meeting is indeed the best option.
But the head elder was still unhappy. He glanced at Xie Xihe and said, "The Sheng family meeting is rarely held in several years. Every time it is held, it is a major event related to the development of the Sheng family. Now it is just a matter of recognizing relatives, and it is for a person of an outsider. Isn't it too much of an overreaction to hold a family meeting for nothing?"
Sheng Shijing's already cold expression became even colder: "In that case, please go back. This little matter will be decided by my master."
The elder of the Shengda clan choked: "That's not what I meant..."
The elder of the Sheng family felt a chill on his spine halfway through his words. He subconsciously looked up and looked into Sheng Shijing's eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes that were hard to describe.
The dark pupils are as deep and boundless as the sea. When they stare deeply at people, they give people the illusion that they are in the waves and will be crushed to pieces if they are not careful.
Especially at this moment, there was coldness and irritability in those eyes. When the elder of the Shengda clan looked at him, his heart tightened for no reason and cold sweat slid down his back.
I subconsciously looked away, not daring to look again.
Sheng Shijing withdrew his gaze, the air pressure around him extremely low, and said: "The elder of the clan should clarify one thing."
"You were able to become the Great Patriarch not because of your own outstanding abilities, but because you have a good father who risked his life to secure the position for you."
"My father tolerates you so much, not because he respects you or cares about your opinion, but because your father saved my grandfather's life, and he is only doing it for your father's sake."
"But this does not give you the right to arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of my master's family and usurp the throne."
"I'm asking you to hold a clan meeting to vote just to win over the people. You only have two choices: either hold a meeting or get out. Do you understand?"
"You...you..." The patriarch pointed at Sheng Shijing with a shaking finger, and was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He didn't say anything, but Sheng Shijing hadn't finished yet.
"Also," Sheng Shijing's gaze fell on the elder of the Sheng family again, without any emotion, "If I remember correctly, this year is exactly the tenth year that the elder has been the elder of the Sheng family. It might be better to resign voluntarily."
The implication is: If you don't resign voluntarily, you will be dismissed.
The expression of the elder of the Shengda clan changed drastically, his wrinkled face kept twitching, his eyelids turned pale, and he looked like he was about to faint from anger.
Sheng Shijing coldly reminded him, "My Xi'er is a very good doctor. If the elder faints, he should faint completely. It's not good to faint and wake up again. It's not good to look at him."
“It costs money.”
The elder of the Shengda clan trembled even more violently, and even his hands and feet began to shake.
Xie Xihe took out the silver needles at the right moment and continued the tradition of husband and wife: "One million for one needle, guaranteed to cure. Do you want a shot, elder?"
The elder of the big family rolled his eyes and fainted from anger.
"Grandfather!" Sheng Mingjiang was shocked and immediately stepped forward to pinch the philtrum of the clan elder, but he was unable to wake him up even after pinching his skin until it broke.
With nothing else to do, he could only look at Xie Xihe: "Miss Xie."
"Third Madam." Xie Xihe corrected, still using the same words as before, "One million per needle."
Sheng Mingjiang's face turned pale, but in front of so many people, he had to bite his teeth and swallow his anger: "Sorry to bother you, Madam San."
Xie Xihe then slowly stepped forward and slowly inserted five needles into the elder of the Shengda clan. Finally, he put away the silver needles and said, "Five million, you're welcome."
The elder of the Shengda clan who just woke up: "!!!"
My eyelids fluttered and I almost fainted again.
But he managed to hold on.
...for money.
Sheng Huanan glanced at the elder of the Sheng family with some sympathy (gloating), then turned around and said seriously: "Anyone else has any objections? Raise them all at once!"
Everyone's heads were shaking like rattles.
There are opinions, and quite a few of them, but they have to dare to raise them!
With the example of the great clan elder as a warning, they would not dare to talk nonsense even if they were beaten to death.
It’s just a clan meeting, just hold it. The worst that can happen is that no one agrees!
Everyone thought so, but was dumbfounded after seeing the final voting results.
Final result: 46:24!
Excluding the twenty votes from the main family of the Sheng family, more than half of the people actually agreed with Sheng Shaoqiong adopting Xie Xihe as his daughter! !
The remaining people who voted against looked at each other, completely confused about what was going on.
The elders of the Shengda clan had an extremely ugly expression, full of disbelief.
