Chapter 142, The Next Patriarch of the Zhong Family
"Look! What does this look like!"
An unhappy female voice rang out from the corner of the third floor: "The good Zhong family has been messed up like this by them! It's really too much!"
The old lady of the Zhong family had a gloomy face and her hands were clenched into fists at her sides.
In the wheelchair behind her, the old patriarch of the Zhong family had his head drooped, looking drowsy.
"My furniture, my antiques! I don't know how they ruined them! Now this hall looks so empty and shabby, it's really ridiculous!"
The old lady of the Zhong family raised her hand and grabbed the sleeve of the man in front of her: "Second brother, you don't know how Mom has been through these days!
If today wasn't a coming-of-age ceremony for that fake guy who had taken over my position, they wouldn't have let me out!
Second brother, I have finally realized that this family cannot do without you!
We must re-elect the head of the family, and we must re-elect the head of the family today!"
"Mom! Keep your voice down!" The second uncle of the Zhong family stopped her while looking at the old patriarch of the Zhong family who was dozing in a wheelchair behind the old lady of the Zhong family. "Dad, how is Dad doing lately?"
"What else can we do? He's getting old and confused, so we should just live one day at a time." The old lady of the Zhong family tugged at her second son's arm and said, "Now is not the time to talk about that. What I want to talk to you about now is the future of the Zhong family!
Second brother, as long as you nod, I will announce in front of everyone that from now on, you are the head of the Zhong family!
I want them to know who has the final say in the Zhong family!"
The second uncle of the Zhong family was very excited, and then he looked at the old patriarch of the Zhong family.
The old patriarch of the Zhong family, who had been dozing with his head down, slowly opened his eyes at this moment. His old and deep eyes looked coldly at the second uncle of the Zhong family.
With just one glance, it was as if he saw through all of Uncle Zhong's little thoughts.
The second uncle of the Zhong family was suddenly shocked and shook his head quickly: "Mom, these are all business partners of the Zhong family. Where does this put the Zhong family? It's just a joke!"
"What do you mean by watching a joke? If we really want to watch a joke, we should watch the joke of Zhong Qiqiang! I am clearing up the family! I am..." Before the old lady of the Zhong family finished her words, she heard a woman's sneering sound behind her.
“Puff.”
The second uncle of the Zhong family and the old lady of the Zhong family immediately looked over. The old lady of the Zhong family was suddenly startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Kong Xiyan walked towards the two of them step by step: "Are you busy?"
"Who is she?" The second uncle of the Zhong family looked at the old lady of the Zhong family.
"She's the little bitch who broke your son's arm! I wonder who she learned that from over the years! She's so evil!" The old lady of the Zhong family lowered her voice, gritting her teeth in hatred. "She even had me imprisoned. What a disrespectful person!"
Uncle Zhong immediately looked at Kong Xiyan. This was the first time he met Kong Xiyan.
The second uncle of the Zhong family originally thought that regardless of anything else, he could at least use his authority as an elder to make Kong Xiyan treat the old lady of the Zhong family well.
But when the second uncle of the Zhong family met Kong Xiyan's cold peach blossom eyes, his heart suddenly choked.
Why does this Kong Xiyan give him the feeling that he is looking into the eyes of the old patriarch of the Zhong family?
The second uncle of the Zhong family shuddered in his heart and immediately understood. He immediately looked at his father, but saw that the old patriarch of the Zhong family was dozing off with his head down again.
"You won't be so proud for long!" The old lady of the Zhong family glared at Kong Xiyan. "This is my second son. From now on, everything in the Zhong family belongs to him. Even if you go to great lengths to come back, what does it matter? As long as I live, I guarantee that you won't be able to spend a single cent of the Zhong family's money!"
Kong Xiyan raised the corners of her mouth, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She just glanced at the second uncle of the Zhong family.
"Mom! Please stop making such a fuss!" The second uncle of the Zhong family quickly distanced himself from the matter. "This eldest brother of the family is doing a good job. I'm also very busy in East City! I'm leaving first!"
"What?" The old lady of the Zhong family couldn't believe her ears. She grabbed her second son's arm tightly and said, "Second son! Do you know what you are saying?"
"Mom, fourteen years ago, something happened to the Zhong family. Dad had a stroke and was hospitalized. The entire Zhong family was in turmoil. I... I also used the excuse of fleeing to East City to develop my career. Only my eldest brother stood up and withstood the pressure, holding up the Zhong family." The second uncle of the Zhong family took a deep breath and looked at the old lady of the Zhong family. "From then on, I no longer had the right to compete with my eldest brother."
Not to mention, my eldest brother has such a daughter...
Now, just standing in front of Kong Xiyan, he felt the same oppressive feeling as when he stood in front of the old patriarch of the Zhong family.
From the moment he met Kong Xiyan's eyes, he understood that his father had been pretending to be crazy for so many years, so why would he call him at this time!
Father, you have found the most satisfactory successor.
The next head of the Zhong family has been decided.
The second uncle of the Zhong family ruthlessly pushed away the old lady of the Zhong family's hand and strode away. When he reached Kong Xiyan, he only said one sentence: "What happened before was due to my poor parenting. I hope you can forgive me."
Kong Xiyan didn't expect that the second uncle of the Zhong family would be so understanding. She just nodded to express her forgiveness, and he left.
"Second son!" The old lady of the Zhong family looked at the back of her second son in disbelief.
Kong Xiyan walked briskly to the old lady of the Zhong family, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly: "Your son doesn't want you~"
"You! You!" The old lady of the Zhong family was so angry at Kong Xiyan's words that she almost fainted from suffocation.
"I advise you to enjoy your old age and not get involved in the Zhong family's affairs." Kong Xiyan laughed.
"You! What do you know! I am the mistress of the Zhong family! All the big and small matters of the Zhong family, inside and outside! Which one was not done by me personally! You destroyed my garden and emptied my house. These were all carefully designed by someone I hired! Do you know how much effort I have put into the Zhong family?" The old lady of the Zhong family was shaking with anger.
"If you hadn't been so worried, the Zhong family wouldn't have been so unlucky." Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "There are so many guests today, and the old lady is working so hard and suddenly feels unwell. She needs to go back to her room to rest!"
"You! You want to imprison me again?" The old lady widened her eyes in disbelief.
"As long as you go back on your own initiative, it won't count as imprisonment." Kong Xiyan spread her hands and said, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"
Seeing that the old lady of the Zhong family was not convinced, Kong Xiyan curled her lips and tilted her head to chuckle: "Old lady, do you want to go back voluntarily and decently, or do you want to go back passively and forcedly?"
"You bastard! You unfilial descendant! You will definitely get your retribution!" The old lady of the Zhong family cursed Kong Xiyan with gritted teeth.
"Let's talk about it. Is it possible that I am your retribution?" Kong Xiyan spread her hands and was completely speechless after being refuted by the old lady of the Zhong family.
She just snorted heavily, turned around and left.
"This old lady is quite stubborn!" Kong Xiyan smiled and shook her head, her eyes falling on the old patriarch of the Zhong family who was left alone.
At this moment, the old patriarch of the Zhong family was dozing with his head down.
"Let's go, Grandpa. Let's go downstairs and have some fun." Kong Xiyan pushed the wheelchair of the old patriarch of the Zhong family into the elevator.
The old patriarch of the Zhong family, who was sitting in a wheelchair, curled the corners of his lips, and then quickly hid the smile.
At the same time, outside the Zhong family's gate, a squinting man handed over an invitation.
The staff member guarding the door checked the invitation and said politely, "Mr. Hu, please come in."
