Xiao Biyan really wanted to object to what Old Lady Long said, but that was the fact.
She has been in charge of the Long family on behalf of her husband for more than 20 years, and she is very clear that the official restrictions on traditional wealthy families, especially the four super wealthy families, are becoming increasingly strict, constantly squeezing the living space of the four traditional wealthy families.
In the past, it was just small actions, but in recent years, especially in the last year, the actions have become bigger and bigger.
It seems that they are going to completely eliminate all the privileges of the traditional wealthy families and take away their sphere of interests.
The leaders of the four traditional families are all aware of this, but they are completely helpless.
The reason is very simple, because there are no one from their group among the core senior officials of the Xia State.
If they had their people, they would be able to influence Xia's decision-making.
Xiao Biyan couldn't find a word to object to for a long time. Old Madam Long sneered, "If you can't even think of how to refute what I said, then you agree with what I said."
"Yu Ran is the future of our Long family. We don't expect her to be able to help all the powerful families, but at least she can protect our Long family, that's enough!"
Xiao Biyan forced herself to say, "What does that have to do with entering Long Ming's name into the family tree?"
"Long Ming is not this girl?"
Old Lady Long looked at her with a disdainful smile, "I said you were stupid, and you've been in charge of the Long family for more than 20 years!"
"I say you're smart, but you say something so stupid!"
"What can I say about you?"
Xiao Biyan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!
Old Mrs. Long reached out and held Hua Yuran's little hand, and her smile immediately became kind.
"Xiao Biyan, enter Ming'er's name into the family tree and register his name in the Long family's household register. The ultimate goal is to enter Yu Ran into the Long family's list. Only then will Yu Ran truly become a member of the Long family!"
"In this way, the fate of the Long family can be tied to her, and she can naturally protect the Long family."
"You can't figure out such a simple thing?"
Old Lady Long's words made the core members of the Long family nod their heads repeatedly in agreement.
They all spoke up, excitedly supporting what Old Lady Long said.
"That's right. Once Long Ming is entered into the family tree, Yu Ran will officially become a member of the Long family as the eldest young lady of the Long family."
"Yu Ran's ability to become a member of the Long family is indeed an opportunity for the Long family. It concerns the future of the Long family. The old lady is absolutely right."
"If Yu Ran becomes a member of the Long family, one of the four traditional super wealthy families, the Long family will likely surpass the other wealthy families. This is a huge opportunity for the Long family and we cannot miss it!"
"Hurry up and get the family tree and add Long Ming and Yu Ran's names to it."
As they spoke, those core members of the tribe couldn't wait to do what Old Lady Long said.
At this stage, if you don’t hold Hua Yuran tightly, you must be mentally ill.
Xiao Biyan wanted to say something but couldn't.
There was a breath stuck in her chest, making her feel anxious.
She really wanted to flip the table, but that would destroy her image of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Even if she turned the table over, it would not prevent today's outcome.
She could only endure it.
She coughed twice and said with a smile, "Mom, it's not that I object. Long Ming is my son, and I hope he gets well too."
"Since you and everyone else agree that Yu Ran is very important to the Long family, then it's decided. Let's do as you say!"
Xiao Biyan looked at Hua Yuran with a smile, "Yuran, I am your mother-in-law. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you and me."
"But I still want to say, welcome to join the Long family and become the eldest lady of the Long family!"
"I have to be honest, I've liked you since the first time I saw you!"
"Thank you for your likes!"
Hua Yu Ran stood up and looked at Xiao Bi Yan with interest.
"But, Mrs. Long, you should have seen my information."
She glanced at everyone present and said, "My uncles and grandfathers should have checked my information as well."
"Everyone knows that I'm a well-known nerd, or, as some people call me, a research maniac."
"I hold the most doctoral and master's degrees in history, and I am the youngest person to do so."
"Aside from being able to take exams, I don't really understand the rules of life and how to behave."
"So, I am straightforward and say whatever I want to say!"
Xiao Biyan's smile turned awkward again. "Just be frank, we're family, why hide things?"
"Yu Ran, don't worry. If you have anything to say in the future, just say it directly. You don't need to be reserved in front of your family."
"Okay, then I'll just say it straight!"
Hua Yuran looked at Xiao Biyan's smile, which became a little playful.
"Mrs. Long, you and I are destined not to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because I don't like you at all."
"You don't even recognize my husband as your son, and now you tell me you are my mother-in-law. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Xiao Biyan's expression froze. What did Hua Yuran mean?
In such a situation, would she just turn hostile?
Xiao Biyan's smile disappeared again, and her eyes were full of anger.
Hua Yuran looked straight at her without giving in.
"Mrs. Long, I'm telling you right now. You hunted down my husband and recently sent people to Jincheng with the intention of killing him."
"Long Ming takes into consideration that you are his biological mother and does not want to retaliate against you. However, you are not my biological mother, and I have no feelings for you whatsoever."
"I will keep these accounts in mind and settle them with you slowly!"
Xiao Biyan's hands were clenched into fists under her sleeves, trembling slightly.
She was still thinking about maintaining superficial harmony with Hua Yuran for the time being.
This is an unwritten rule.
In any wealthy family, there are bound to be some conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. For the sake of the family's face and reputation, at least in front of outsiders, they are all polite and talk and laugh.
That's what happened to her and Old Lady Long.
She took the initiative to talk to Hua Yu Ran and smiled at her, but Hua Yu Ran refused to go down the stairs and did not follow the rules!
It's really abominable.
The members of the Long family, even Old Lady Long, all looked at Hua Yuran in surprise with their mouths slightly open.
Hua Yuran spoke frankly, and none of them expected it to be so frank.
To be frank, this is going to turn the table with Xiao Bi Yan!
The grudges and struggles between big families have never stopped.
Xiao Biyan doesn't like Long Ming, and this is something everyone in the clan knows.
Everyone could guess that Long Ming was missing. He might have met with an accident, which must be related to Xiao Bi Yan.
Not all mothers love their children absolutely.
However, these are all private matters and no one will talk about them openly.
Hua Yuran didn't even want to maintain superficial harmony, and as soon as she arrived, she exposed the disguise of the wealthy family!
