Little New Year, big event for Lan family:
Lan Xi woke up early in the morning, prepared her things, and drove to the compound with Zhu Lingling at 7 o'clock.
"Grandpa!" Lan Xi arrived just in time, with 20 minutes left before the meeting started.
Lan Xiangfu sat on the armchair and pointed to the empty seat next to him.
Lan Ting sat down at the bottom, watching Lan Xi walk forward, his face couldn't help but darken.
Lan Qi didn't even have a seat. He stood behind Lan Ting'an. As an illegitimate child, he had no right to speak in such an occasion.
Sitting opposite Lan Ting'an was his younger brother, his half-brother, Lan Tingxu!
Like his name, Lanting Xu is an artist!
There is another kind of elder, such as uncles and aunts in the Lan clan!
When I saw Lan Xi sitting on it, I knew that this was the future head of the family!
No one has any objections, the old man has always been reliable in doing things!
"Sir! We can start now!" The butler walked up to Mr. Lan and reported to him.
The ancestral hall was opened and everyone walked in solemnly to begin the lengthy ceremony of ancestor worship.
Two hours later, the old man and Lan Xi came out.
"Xixi! The family dinner will be handed over to you soon! The housekeeper will be there to guide you. This is your first time hosting a family dinner, so learn well!"
The old man called Lan Xi at the door of the ancestral hall and gave her instructions.
Lan Xi nodded respectfully, glanced at the housekeeper beside her, and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Miss, you are too polite!" The butler bowed slightly. He knew that Lan Xi would have a smooth life at home!
From today onwards, the entire upper class circle will know that Lan Xi will be the new head of the Lan family.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when all the ceremonies were over. Lan Xi felt that her face was about to freeze from smiling, and the irritability in her heart was getting worse and worse.
"Lan Xi is getting better and better! Xiang Fu is so lucky! His grandchildren are so outstanding and capable! Unlike us, we probably have to hold on for a few more years!"
An uncle stood beside Lan Xiangfu, watching Lan Xi busying around in the yard, his face full of envy.
Lan Xiangfu raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"You're kidding me! I've been in this position for decades, and it's time for me to retire. You've been retired for decades!"
When Lan Xi turned around, she saw two elders looking at her and talking about something. She smiled and nodded to greet them, and then she went to see the elders off.
Sitting in the main hall, Lan Xi felt sore all over her body. Zhu Lingling reached out and massaged Jiang Yun's shoulders.
"You're really becoming more and more capable now! You're even sitting in the main seat!"
Lan Ting'an walked in with Lan Qi, with gloomy faces.
Lan Xi leaned tiredly against the armchair, not even looking at him, but her words were extremely domineering:
"If you were any use, you would be the one sitting in the main seat now!"
"You..." Lan Ting'an pointed at Lan Xi and was about to curse.
The housekeeper came in at this time:
"You two should refrain from making any noise. Today is the Little New Year, and this is taboo!"
Lan Qi looked at the butler unconvincedly. He was just a servant, why was he so arrogant?
The butler didn't look at Lan Qi. In his eyes, Lan Qi was just an illegitimate child who was not presentable. The Lan family would never allow such a person to enter the center of power.
He turned and walked out, warning:
"Master Ting'an, this illegitimate child of yours really doesn't know the rules!"
When Lan Xi heard this, she looked at Lan Qi. The housekeeper's feeling was not wrong, that was what he had done.
Lan Ting'an also looked at his son and frowned: "What did you do?"
Lan Qi shook his head and said, "No, I didn't!"
Lan Xi walked over, stood in front of him, and looked at Lan Qi coldly:
"You'd better behave yourself here with Grandpa, otherwise even your father can't protect you! The last person who disobeyed me is now..."
Lan Xi glanced at Lan Ting'an and said in a more serious tone, "It's very miserable!"
Lan Ting'an was unable to catch his breath. He knew that Lan Xi was talking about Lan Sisi:
"Lan Xi, are you addicted to being the head of the family?"
"No, I'm not addicted, but if you keep being so brainless, I know how happy this position of Patriarch brings me!"
Lan Xi looked at Lan Ting'an, raised her eyebrows, and there was sarcasm in her eyes.
"Hehe~" Laughter came from outside the door. Lan Tingxu appeared there. He looked at Lan Xi with a smile:
"As expected of the next head of the family, he's so domineering!"
Lan Xi didn't have much opinion about this uncle. She heard that he had been studying abroad for many years and rarely came back except for large family ceremonies!
"That's because uncle rarely comes back, otherwise you would see this kind of scene often."
Lan Xi smiled at Lan Ting Xu. She did not have the habit of targeting every illegitimate child. After all, her grandfather was quite fair!
Lan Tingxu smiled and walked slowly past the door: "Your grandfather asked you to go to the tea room!"
Lan Xi glanced at Lan Qi and walked out of the main hall.
Lan Ting'an remained silent. His younger brother was as weird as Lan Xi.
When he was a child, he wanted to scare him, so he caught a snake and put it on his bed. Unexpectedly, he used the pencil sharpener on the table to cut open the snake's belly in front of him!
Lan Ting'an had never seen such eyes before, bloodthirsty and crazy.
"Lanting'an! Don't mess with me. I'm not interested in the Lan family's wealth. If you behave like today again, you'll be the one to have your stomach cut open next time!"
This is what Lanting Xu said at that time. He was wiping the knife with paper and speaking very slowly.
"Brother! My sister-in-law said she had something to do and left first. You can go back by yourself later!"
The sound of Lanting Xu suddenly appeared in my ears, soft and gentle.
Lan Ting'an was frightened and took two steps back. Lan Qi was also frightened by his father's reaction.
Lan Tingxu didn't expect his brother's reaction to be so big, and couldn't help laughing:
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?!"
