Chapter 684: Twenty Years Ago
Although they have Eddie, Eddie is not Ling Yin's biological son. He is a direct descendant, but not a pure direct descendant.
Now that Ling Yin's biological daughter has returned and is heard to be very capable, they rush to see it with their own eyes.
Especially when they learned that the Gu family of Country Y and their Warrens family would become in-laws in the future, several elders were overjoyed.
The Warrens family is indeed powerful, but if they can join forces with the Gu family, which is a rival to them, it will undoubtedly provide an extra layer of protection.
The reason why Ferenc was able to take advantage of the old patriarch when he was still alive was because the old patriarch refused to marry a Chinese woman with no identity or background to consolidate his power, resulting in no strong allies to lend a helping hand.
Ferenc cleverly teamed up with the Luo family and caught the old patriarch off guard.
Ling Yin hasn't had any marriage for all these years, which makes the elders extremely anxious. They are afraid that another person like Ferenc will appear in the family and cause chaos in the family.
Fortunately, their eldest daughter has stood up for herself, and the Warrens family has a son-in-law, Gu Yibei, who has enough deterrent power.
Li Yuan has never appeared since he came back, and even Charleson doesn't know where he went.
………
Ji Zhinan stayed with the elders for another day and listened to the old men talk about many "big truths".
Only small families would favor sons over daughters, believing that a daughter is just a daughter and belongs to someone else's family once she gets married. The family inheritance must be handed over to sons, and even if there are no sons, it must be given to nephews, and never to daughters.
In a large family like this, there is no such thing as favoring boys over girls. They value ability more than gender.
So several elders took turns brainwashing Ji Zhinan, hoping that she would return to Europe to take over family affairs and compete with Eddie.
Ji Zhinan just listened and didn't respond.
First of all, she had never thought about the inheritance rights of the Warrens family. Although she was the daughter of Ling Yin Warrens, she had been living outside since she was a child and had not been taught personally by her father in the Warrens family.
On the road to success, talent and hard work are both essential. It's fine for her to try her hand at business, but focusing on managing a large family might be a challenge.
Eddie was taught by Li Yuan since she was a child. Before that, Li Yuan never knew that he had a daughter, so he passed on all his life knowledge to Eddie. In addition, Eddie has always lived in the Warrens family. Whether in terms of ability or other aspects, he is more suitable to inherit the family than Ji Zhinan.
After successfully enduring the mental torture from more than a dozen elders, Ji Zhinan finally returned to his room.
When she returned, she found Baichuan was also there.
Seeing Ji Zhinan, Bai Chuan subconsciously wanted to hide the thing in his hand, but he didn't know that his action would arouse suspicion.
Ji Zhinan silently looked at him without saying a word.
Baichuan's scalp tingled from being stared at.
"I asked Baichuan to investigate some things." Gu Yibei spoke from the side, with no intention of hiding anything from Ji Zhinan.
"Baichuan, give it to her."
Hearing this, Bai Chuan showed an embarrassed expression. He looked at Gu Yibei, and after getting a nod from his boss, he carefully handed the document to Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan opened the folder and the first page was the entry information.
Name: Ling Yin Warrens, date of entry into China: May 15, 19xx.
The time was twenty years ago.
