Qi Huang and the other two nodded stiffly, feeling that the atmosphere was getting even weirder. What was going on?
Gu Zhou, who was hiding in the corridor on the second floor and eavesdropping, almost choked to death on his own saliva when he heard Qi Jing's words. He glanced at Shen Minglin beside him and gave him a look as if he was a fool.
Shen Mingzhu's tears were clearly fake. No one knew what had happened to the Shen family. They were all fooled.
At this moment, Shen Minglin was holding the railing with veins bulging and joints white. In the past, he thought Shen Mingzhu looked so pitiful and distressing when she cried, but now he just felt frightened and couldn't help but recall why they were so controlled by Shen Mingzhu's tears in the past?
Qi Jing sat back down silently, and Qi Mo raised his hand to his lips and coughed, then gave Qi Nian a look. Qi Nian understood and called the bodyguards in to take Shen Mingzhu away.
The Shen brothers wanted to catch up, but Qi Mo's cold voice said, "Shen Mingzhu's servants will take care of it. If you leave now, you won't have to come back in the future until the meeting is over."
Shen Mingxuan turned around and glared at Qi Mo angrily, "Is this necessary? Mingzhu did something wrong, she has apologized, and she has been punished. What else do you want?"
"She apologized? Who should she apologize to?" Qi Mo looked directly at Shen Mingxuan. "From the beginning to the end, including you all, has she ever shown concern or apologized for even a moment?"
This "who" naturally refers to Qi Huang. For a moment, the four brothers of the Shen family all looked at Qi Huang who was sitting on the sofa. Since the secret of his identity was revealed, the four of them had indeed not asked a single question about Qi Huang.
Even at tonight's banquet, they stayed by Shen Mingzhu's side and didn't say a single word to each other.
A feeling of shame and regret surged up in Shen Mingxuan, and he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that they were only concerned with coaxing Shen Mingzhu and had forgotten about Qi Huang's existence.
Seeing this, Qi Xiuyun just snorted, "If you want to leave, then leave. I am a member of the Qi family, and after I die, there will be descendants of the Qi family to bury me and burn incense."
"grandmother."
The four brothers were a little at a loss. They all gave up the idea of chasing after him and didn't even dare to look at Qi Huang.
Qi Huang didn't look at them either. To Qi Huang, these four people were just strangers and would not arouse any emotions in her.
Shen Anwen followed with an angry scolding, “Shut up!”
The four brothers stood behind Shen Anwen dejectedly again, lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Qi Mo just glanced at it lightly and then said, "Second, let the great-grandfather vote to withdraw from the current position of the third uncle Qi Mingde and hand it over to Qi You. The vote will begin now."
After saying that, Qi Mo raised his hand to show his support for Qi Jun's decision.
Following them were Qi Nian, Qi You, Qi Shuo, Qi Yao, Qi Qi and others. In a blink of an eye, Qi Xin was the only one left among the younger generation of the Qi family who had not expressed his opinion.
Qi Mingzhen said, "Anan and Yuanyuan are still young and will not participate in the vote."
Qi Mingde was so angry that his face turned red. He stood up and said, "Why?! I have worked diligently for the company for so many years, and now you want to kick me out!"
"Dad! Don't you know why?" Qi You stood up and looked at Qi Mingde with disappointment. He really didn't understand why Qi Mingde still chose to side with Qi Xin and ignore Qi Yue when the facts were already in front of him.
Qi Mingde choked a bit, but still said stubbornly, "I'm not dead yet! It's your turn to worry about my current position!"
"presumptuous!"
Qi Jun shouted, and the sound of his cane hitting the ground hit everyone's heart, shocking them all.
Qi Jun stared coldly at Qi Mingde, "The new head of the family has not yet taken over, but I am still the head of the family! What? You want to threaten me with external forces?!"
"I, I didn't." Qi Mingde answered stutteringly, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Qi Xin beside him, and his heart began to feel uneasy.
Qi Xin was also startled. He bit his lip and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Qi Mingde's wife, Zhuang Yu, had no idea what was going on. Facing Qi Jun's anger, she smiled ingratiatingly, "Second Master, don't get angry. If Mingde did something wrong, you can just scold him a few times. Why make such a fuss?"
Wu Gan also agreed, "Yes, Uncle Qi has been working in the company for so many years, it's inevitable that he will make mistakes. If there is anything, just talk it out."
Qi Jun snorted coldly, ignoring what they said. He just glanced at Qi Mingwang and his six brothers and sisters and said, "Let's vote."
Qi Mingzhen wanted to abstain, but his sister Qi Minghe urged him to do so, so he had no choice but to raise his hand in agreement.
Qi Mingwang also raised his hand without any hesitation, followed by Qi Mingtang.
Four of the six siblings agreed, leaving only Qi Mingde, the person involved, and his sister Qi Mingyi.
Qi Mingyi sighed softly, but still raised her hand, "I agree."
Qi Mingde looked at Qi Mingyi in disbelief, "Mingyi! You..."
"Brother! You should have understood clearly during the last ancestral ceremony. For so many years, you have always favored Xinxin over the two sisters. We have tried to persuade you and tried to stop you. The truth was clear enough on the day of the ancestral ceremony. It was also the last chance Second Master gave you, and you didn't take it."
Qi Mingyi said this helplessly. She was also a woman, so she could see clearly. She was afraid that Qi Mingde was doing something behind her back, trying to exchange Qi Yue's things for Qi Xin.
Qi Mingde was too naive. Not everything can be exchanged.
As a member of the Qi family, if you can't even handle your own family affairs, how can you manage the Qi family's branch?
Qi Mingde retorted unconvincedly, "Xinxin is smart and sensible, and she has the Wu family behind her. I'm also considering the future of the family! How can I be wrong?"
"Uncle San, are you questioning the Qi family's nearly seven hundred years of rule?" Qi Mo looked at Qi Mingde coldly, and said word by word, "For seven hundred years, our Qi family has chosen a head of family to inherit every two generations. To ensure the interests of the family and balance the rights and interests of the head of family, two people will be selected by specific people to assist the head of family and prevent him from making the wrong choice at important moments. This is the Qi family's unchanging rule for seven hundred years, and it cannot be changed after the selection!
Uncle San wants to replace Qi Yue with Qi Xin, which is a violation of clan rules. Everyone present knows the consequences. This is a decision made by Grandpa Zeng after careful consideration."
Wu Gan finally understood. He stood up suddenly and said, "Second Master, the Wu family definitely didn't mean that. I had no idea."
Qi Jun waved his hand to signal Wu Gan to sit down, and reiterated, "Rules are rules. Even after my death, the rules will not change! Mingde! Leaving the company is my decision, and it is also the result of the family's vote!"
Qi Jun's eyes fell on Qi Mingde, full of warning.
Qi Mingde also realized that if he objected again, it would not be as simple as removing him from his position in the company, but he would be completely kicked out of the Qi family.
Zhuang Yu hadn't expected this outcome. She looked at Qi Xin, then at Qi Yue across from her, frowning and saying, "Yueyue, say something."
Qi You calmly stood in front of Qi Yue, blocking Zhuang Yu's sight, "Mom, stop talking."
