Chapter two hundred and ninety-seven
Lan Ze was stunned for a moment and almost jumped out of his chair. He turned around and shouted respectfully, "Dad, you are here...".
Lan Yuan also bowed and said hello, "Old man, you are here...".
Yan Dong looked at Senior Brother Zhang who looked younger than Lan Ze and asked confusedly, "Brother Liang, you just said...who is he?".
"Shut up!" Lan Ze glared at Yan Dong, saying nonsense in front of his father was seeking death.
Lan Yuan also taught him a lesson, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!".
"Ah? Oh..." Yan Dong had no choice but to show respect to Senior Brother Zhang with a smile after being scolded, and then quickly stepped aside to hide himself so as not to get into trouble. The people he saw here were much higher than him in terms of status and position.
He is an uncle who cannot be offended.
As soon as Lan Yun'er followed Lan Ruo through the door, she saw the flattering expressions on Lan Ze and Lan Yuan's faces, with funny expressions that neither dared to be angry nor dared to speak. She couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, I heard that you have a big brother."
Are you covering it? Why don’t you go to him to support you?”
"How can he have time to take care of me..." Lan Ze secretly glanced at Senior Brother Zhang in frustration and lectured Lan Yun'er, "I won't feel comfortable if you don't support me, right? Stop talking...".
Lan Yun'er was not sure of his lesson and threatened unconvincedly, "I'll tell dad that you bullied me. Master Ze, just wait to be scolded...".
"Hey, I'm afraid of you, little aunt, please don't..." Lan Ze was just about to chase after her, but when Lan Yun'er turned around, she didn't pay attention to the person behind her, and without paying attention, she bumped into her. The person who was hit instinctively
In response, he closed his arms and hugged her.
Everyone could tell that this was a misunderstanding. Lan Ze came over quickly and wanted to say something, "Hey! You... let go... Master Nan...".
When Lan Yun'er saw that she was being hugged, she turned around and hurriedly broke away. Then she slapped her in the face. Cheng Nan's dull reaction didn't know how to hide. She waited until her face was burning with pain.
He made a sound and took two steps back knowingly.
Almost all the guests at today's banquet have arrived. Lan Yun'er, who is lawless by nature, beat Cheng Nan in public. Although she can be forgiven for being a child, senior brother Zhang's unharmonious tutoring seems to be unacceptable.
.
"Yun'er, apologize quickly! Master Nan, I'm sorry..." Lan Ruo quickly pulled her daughter behind her and explained to Cheng Nan.
Cheng Nan waved his hand and took the responsibility proactively, "It's all my fault. I didn't see Yun'er just now. I hit her. Did it hurt?"
Leng Xuan stayed close to Cheng Nan to protect him. He could see clearly after following him. He looked at Cheng Nan in confusion and shook his head, "Brother Nan, your brain was damaged?".
"Oh...it's okay, go sit over there..." Cheng Nan very humbly helped Leng Xuan move the chair and asked Master Xuan to sit down. Leng Xuan could only shake his head more helplessly. He was only responsible for Cheng Nan not to be beaten to death or
He cannot be seriously injured, and being bullied by a beautiful woman is not within the scope of his responsibilities.
Lan Yun'er's eyes followed Cheng Nan's face and when she saw Leng Xuan, she unconsciously smiled at him. Leng Xuan frowned, and then looked towards Lan Tianxing calmly.
It's not that he misses the eldest young master of the Lan family that much, but because Lan Tianxing is the closest person to Chen Meng. Seeing that he is refreshed and safe, Chen Meng should be fine too, right?
Lan Tianxing was not in the mood to make his 'eldest son' happy at this time. Instead, he kept talking to Lan Ming and Lan Xin. Lan Ming sat opposite him and listened without any reaction. Lan Xin asked Zhang after listening to a few words.
Looking over from the direction where Senior Brother was sitting, Senior Brother Zhang smiled implicitly with the corners of his mouth raised. It seemed that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Leng Xuan joined the Lan family because he had a reason to follow Chen Meng. He was not interested or concerned about the overt and secret struggles in the Lan family. He just wanted to follow Lan Tianxing and protect Chen Meng. As for whether Lan Tianxing was a member of the Lan family
The eldest young master doesn't care.
And from his personal standpoint, he hoped that Lan Tianxing would be an idle man with nothing to do, so that he could accompany the lover in his heart wholeheartedly, so after listening to a few words, he left the banquet hall and went to the terrace to watch the scenery.
.
Lan Yun'er was shocked by Leng Xuan's indifferent expression. No one had dared to despise her like this since she was a child. Princess Lan, who had always been spoiled, was very rude when she saw Leng Xuan coming down from the terrace alone.
stopped him.
Last time Leng Xuan accompanied Cheng Nan to deliver pearl flowers, Lan Yun'er unceremoniously poured a cup of tea on Leng Xuan, saying that she wanted to return a cup of tea to him as a courtesy.
Leng Xuan didn't say much for Lan Tianxing's sake. Moreover, Yun'er was still a child. For the sake of the stability and harmony of the Lan family, he had no choice but to endure it. However, the arrogant Young Master Xuan was not as good at accepting things as Cheng Nan.
Temper, I am a little impatient if I am stopped again at this time.
"Wait a minute!" Lan Yun'er made no secret of her obvious provocative behavior, "Don't think that you can be arrogant because of that woman's support. I will ask Uncle Tianxing to drive you out of the Lan family...".
Leng Xuan was originally a person who rarely caused trouble and tried to avoid trouble, so he just glanced at her and ignored her. He thought that he was still a child who had not grown up, and he had no obligation to make other people's children happy, right?
"Stop! You surnamed Leng..." Lan Yun'er rushed over and grabbed Leng Xuan's shoulder. She couldn't bear the feeling of being ignored like this.
Leng Xuan leaned against the wall and stepped back at the corner. Lan Yun'er got a little angry as soon as she caught the opportunity. She kept following her feet and then bumped forward. It was the kind of death grip that her father, Senior Brother Zhang, used when he was young.
She actually learned the rough beating technique without any teacher.
In order to avoid being beaten like Cheng Nan, and to avoid misunderstanding caused by Lan Yun'er bumping into his arms, Leng Xuan could only continue to retreat.
But as soon as she took half a step back, Lan Yun'er, who couldn't catch up, slapped her hard on the edge of the wall at the corner. Leng Xuan could only turn around and grabbed her collar and threw Lan Yun'er out. Although she fell on
It hurts a lot on the ground, but it's better than hitting the wall and getting disfigured.
"Ah! You... bastard..." Lan Yun'er knew that Leng Xuan was good at martial arts, and she originally just wanted to give him an opportunity to be a hero to save his beauty. Who knew that the unsophisticated young master Xuan not only wanted to show his kindness to a beauty like her?
He wasn't interested, and he didn't give her a chance to be romantic at all. After dumping her, he left without looking back.
Because today is Lan Tianxing's banquet with the Lan family's senior officials, all the idle staff have been cleared. There are no security guards or cleaners on this floor except for the Lan family members. It is impossible for Lan Yun'er to find someone to support her or ask for help.
"Bastard! Bastard, bastard...you are such a big bastard!" Leng Xuan showed no mercy when he threw her away. Lan Yun'er cursed a hundred times in her heart but still couldn't solve the problem, so she could only get up and rub it by herself.
Holding the painful knee, I secretly thought about how to cure the cold spin.
As soon as Leng Xuan entered the door of the banquet hall, he saw that the atmosphere inside was not right.
Lan Tianxing held the wine glass and seemed to be toasting Lan Ming. Lan Ming emptied the glass directly, then raised the empty glass and said, "If the eldest young master does not take back his life, Lan Ming can only leave the Lan family! Big brother
, if you really want to force me to leave, Lan Ming will obey your orders and have no complaints!".
"Ming'er, listen to your elder brother..." Lan Ziqian pulled Lan Ming quietly behind him, meaning to ask him to think again and not to be so absolute. No matter how many people have deliberately tried to usurp this position, they have not been able to do so.
, Lan Ming refused so unmoved?
"Yes, second brother, listen to fourth uncle, you should think about it again and don't rush to give me an answer..." Lan Tianxing could only try to ease the awkward atmosphere. He suddenly discovered that the authority of the eldest young master of the Lan family was
There seems to be little effort in this regard, because almost everyone does not give him this face.
"Don't think about it!" Lan Ming replied without giving any face, "Everyone in the Lan family knows that you are the son of the second uncle Zipeng. Before he died, he also handed over the Lan family to you to inherit. The Lan family has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Patriarchs are tenured for life, and there is no precedent for replacement or removal. I forgive my subordinates for not agreeing!"
Lifelong patriarch? Subordinate?
Regardless of whether the Lan family has any precedent for deposing the patriarch, Lan Ming has already taken the lead in voting against himself in front of the clan. His most competitive opponent has voluntarily given up, is there any need for others to jump out and cause trouble?
And there is another fact that cannot be ignored: if Lan Ming really takes over this position and becomes the eldest master, a Lan family without Lan Tianxing will soon fall apart because Lan Ming is not strong enough and has insufficient cohesion.
Become a piece of loose sand.
The Ji family of Jilang and the Zhang family of Senior Brother Zhang are temporarily affiliated with the Lan family because of the existence of Lan Tianxing in the Lan family. If he really abdicates in favor of a worthy man, even Senior Brother Zhang cannot be the son-in-law of the Lan family.
If it goes too far, all the Ji family will definitely withdraw and follow Lan Tianxing.
Everyone can clearly see such a clear situation. If you don’t want to die early and want to stay on the Lan family’s boat and get a piece of the pie, you must firmly support Lan Tianxing as the eldest young master of the Lan family and the life-long leader of the Lan family.
Clan leader, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
Lan Ziqian could only step aside silently, sighing secretly. Lan Zitao kept his eyes closed as if he was asleep. He didn't say a word or raise any questions throughout the whole process. Maybe he himself knew that,
