Chapter 579 The Battle of the Patriarchs(1/3)
Chapter 579: The battle between the heads of the family
Li Xuan patted Jin Chengxi's back helplessly, and said softly: "Chengxi, all this will pass soon, don't think so much anymore."
Knowing that Li Xuan would not give up the fight with Jin Chengtai easily, Jin Chengxi lowered her head in disappointment. She pushed Li Xuan away, took a tissue from the bedside and wiped the tears on her face, while Li Xuan turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
When Jin Chengxi came out of the bedroom, Li Xuan just walked out of the kitchen with a large bowl of soup. The living room had been tidied up, and there were several plates of steaming side dishes on the dining table. After putting down the soup, Li Xuan said to Jin Chengxi
Xi smiled and said, "Why don't you eat fruits and snacks every day? Come here. You used to prepare dinner for me. Today, I will also cook you a meal."
Jin Chengxi, who was in a slightly better mood, sat down at the dining table. She glanced at Li Xuan strangely and then shifted her gaze to the dining table. She asked doubtfully: "Brother, can the food you cook be eaten?"
Li Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly. "What are you talking about? What do you mean it is edible? Although it is not as good as your cooking skills, I am also a man who can cook. Come and try it."
Taking the chopsticks handed over by Li Xuan, Jin Chengxi carefully picked up a dish and put it into his mouth. He chewed it slowly and rolled his eyes. It was not as hard to swallow as expected. Jin Chengxi picked up a few more dishes and finally finally
He smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head with a wry smile. He was really afraid that the little princess would be difficult to take care of. Fortunately, Jin Chengxi was not as picky as Lin Fang. Then, the two of them ended the meal in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
Throughout the whole day, Li Xuan stayed with Jin Chengxi, which could be regarded as comforting her injured heart. After all, it takes time to heal such trauma.
…
When Li Xuan went to the hospital to visit Jin Chenghua, he received shocking news.
Jin Chenghua frowned and looked at Li Xuan with a hint of worry in his eyes. "Brother Li, I don't have much time left for you."
Li Xuan held the TV remote control and focused all his attention on the TV screen.
"Li Hongjian, chairman of Huihuang Group, a well-known Beijing enterprise, recently attended a charity event and revealed that the family heir will be announced at the 30th anniversary celebration of Huihuang Group next March. According to analysis of external public opinion, although Li Hongjian has two sons who are qualified to inherit,
The chance of the younger son who has never appeared in public to inherit the family is close to zero, while the eldest son Li Nan, who has been responsible for taking care of the family business all year round, is almost certain to inherit the family business."
The host on the TV was broadcasting news, and the content was the latest news about the Li family, and the screen also showed pictures of Li Xuan's father, Li Hongjian, participating in charity activities.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Xuan remained silent, Jin Chenghua thought that Li Xuan had been stimulated in some way, so he asked.
Li Xuan smiled coldly and threw away the remote control. Li Xuan smiled at Jin Chenghua and said, "What's wrong? I'm fine. I won't give up until that moment comes. Besides, I helped you ascend to the position of head of the family. Then
Won't I have a bargaining chip if I return to the family?" As long as Jin Chenghua becomes the master of the Jin family, the previous agreement with Li Xuan will be the biggest bargaining chip for Li Xuan to inherit the Li family. Therefore, Li Xuan is still very optimistic. For now,
Helping Jin Chenghua inherit the Jin family is the top priority.
Jin Chenghua felt relieved a little. He smiled gratefully at Li Xuan and asked again: "Are you sure you can defeat Chengtai now? Everything will be decided in ten days."
Li Xuan smiled confidently, patted Jin Chenghua on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have prepared an unforgettable celebration for Jin Chengtai."
Perhaps because of his confidence in Li Xuan, or because he saw the glorious moment when he inherited the Jin family, Jin Chenghua also smiled.
…
Today is an unusual day. It is not only the first day of the new year, but also the moment that determines the fate of the Jin family. Maybe outsiders will think that this is just a sign of the transfer of power in the Jin family and the changing of the times, but this is only superficial.
Cognition. As the Jin family cannot be ignored in Shanghai, the challenges and risks they face are unimaginable by ordinary people. How many forces secretly spy on the status of the Jin family hope to replace them, and how many enemies of the Jin family are waiting for the Jin family to fall into trouble.
Falling into the quagmire of life and death and then adding insult to injury are all potential dangers. The Jin family, which has gone through great storms to build its great business today, certainly has a mature sense of worry. It is precisely because of this that the decision of successor is so difficult.
Because after an heir becomes a leader, the responsibility he has to shoulder is to lead the Jin family to continue to glory. Even if he cannot create a peak myth, he should at least maintain the progress of the family, gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive society, and carve out a new world for his family.
The world of the Jin family.
After paying homage to their ancestors, the members of the Jin family arrived at the huge conference room of the Jin family. Of course, the missing Jin Chengxi and the real Jin Chenghua were not there. Even the paralyzed Jin Zhengyong sat down under the care of Uncle Liu.
In the conference room, but the position of the master was vacant. All the members of the Jin family present were waiting for the arrival of the master of this position with serious expressions. Finally, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the old man who was dying in the eyes of the younger generation stepped in.
People noticed that this old man was Jin Chenghua's second grandfather, the oldest and most authoritative person in the Jin family.
Such an old man may be worthless in the eyes of many people, and some may even despise his existence, because the old man with half his foot in the coffin has ignored the affairs of the Jin family for many years and has only been in love among flowers and plants. What is this?
In the eyes of young people, it is a sign of mediocrity. If he is still controlling everything in the Jin family, then he may be the object of admiration by young people. But if he seems to be indifferent to fame and wealth and leaves this vortex, then he is no longer a person.
The heroic figure is just an old man.
There was only one person who didn't dare to look down on the old man like this, and that person was Li Xuan. He nodded respectfully to the old man, because Li Xuan knew very well that these old people who had experienced decades of ups and downs were the ones who were most secretive.
The best interpretation of keeping a low profile is that Li Xuan can despise Jin Chengtai, because no matter how capable Jin Chengtai is, he is just a little clever guy; he can ignore all the younger generations of the Jin family present because they have not met them yet.
It's easy to kill them, the greenhouse flowers of the sun, but you can't ignore the old man. Ignoring his existence is equivalent to ignoring a sharp knife that is about to be inserted into your heart. You can't compare to his sophistication in conspiracy.
The cover-up was not as perfect as he did. If the old man wanted to get rid of Li Xuan, he would definitely stab Li Xuan with a sharp dagger into his body when he was most relaxed, killing him with one blow. There would be absolutely no room for resistance.
Sitting on the right hand side of the old man is Jin Chengtae, and the seats on that side are basically people from Jin Chenghua's father's generation. Li Xuan sits on the left hand side of the old man, and the seats on this side are all young members of the Jin family.
Hyun and Kim Sung-tae were sitting opposite each other, and their respective supporters were divided into two opposing camps, which was extremely ironic.
The whole house was solemn, and no one dared to make a mistake. Even Jin Chengtae, the usually unrestrained and dissolute young master, remained silent. Standing behind Jin Chenghua's second grandfather were two people, dressed in distinct colors, one black and the other
Bai, both of them wore half silver masks on their faces. Li Xuan recognized that one of them was the gentleman-like Sky Thorn, while the other was the Earth Thorn.
The old man coughed twice, cleared his throat and said to the crowd: "I believe you all know what today means. Everyone here should feel sorry for the fact that my nephew Jin Zhengyong is suffering from illness.
But the Jin family cannot stop here. The Jin family must continue to move towards the future. Therefore, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day. After two months, Jin Chenghua, the grandson of the Jin family, has adapted to the life of the Jin family.
,Therefore, the master of the Jin family is..."
Before the old man finished speaking, someone stood up and raised an objection. It was Jin Chenghua's second uncle, Jin Zhengtian.
"I object. Second uncle, can I say something?"
The old man nodded as usual, not angry because Jin Zhengtian interrupted him rashly. All this was expected. Jin Zhengtian received the old man's permission, he glanced at Jin Chengtai, and then turned to Li Xuan
, the tone was somewhat regretful.
"Chenghua is indeed a good kid, and we elders also like it very much. However, becoming the head of the Jin family is not a trivial matter. You must be cautious. Although the tradition left by our ancestors is that the eldest son inherits the family business, but if the eldest son is incompetent,
If he inherits the family business, won't he just watch the Jin family decline? That's why I object to Chenghua inheriting the family head."
Hearing these words, Li Xuan smiled, not angry or defensive at all. This was just the beginning. He was waiting for Jin Chengtai to play all the cards before he revealed his trump card.
"Zhengtian, don't jump to conclusions. Without factual basis, how can you say that Chenghua is incompetent?" The old man said calmly with his eyes closed. He was more like a judge at the moment, judging the rights and wrongs of both parties.
Jin Zhengtian, who had just sat down, took a deep breath and then said calmly: "Of course I have the facts. Chenghua took over Qingmeng Entertainment City two months ago. On the first day he took over, something happened to Qingmeng Entertainment City.
, the son of the city police chief was beaten to a disability in Qingmeng, and later his family was exterminated. I think everyone here knows who instigated all this and who did it. Because of this incident, Jin
The family's property has received considerable care from local officials. Although the losses cannot be said to be heavy, the price is not small. This was all caused by Chenghua's irrational move."
Everyone here knew who instigated this incident and who did it. However, on the surface, it was Li Xuan who took the responsibility. Li Xuan remained silent and did not make any excuse, but sat opposite him.
Jin Chengtai had a faint smile on his face, but Li Xuan just sneered at this.
"Zhengtian, I've also heard about that incident. Chenghua didn't understand the relationship between the Jin family and the local government at that time. The responsibility for this matter is not entirely his. Based on this incident alone, we can judge that he is not capable of inheriting the Jin family."
, It's too arbitrary." The old man said calmly, seemingly not in a hurry. As a bystander of this power struggle, he actually knew it clearly. The only thing that made him curious was that Li Xuan looked calm and composed at this time, as if he was sure of victory.
, he wanted to know what the trump card in Li Xuan's hand was.
"What about Cheng Xi? Cheng Xi was lured into working at Qingmeng by him, and then he didn't protect his sister properly, and as a result, something happened to her under his nose. How should we say this?"
Jin Chenghua's aunt stood up and complained with a slightly excited expression. Her expression told everyone how sad she was. If outsiders saw this scene, they might think that she and Jin Chengxi had the same mother-daughter relationship.
Jin Zhengtian's face darkened, perhaps because of the sad atmosphere caused by Jin Chengxi's disappearance. He said in a low voice: "Chenghua, you have disappointed us so much. Your irresponsibility for work was something we did not expect before.
Otherwise, Cheng Xi will not be allowed to work under you anyway. It is because of your dereliction of duty and irresponsible attitude that the enemies of the Jin family can take advantage of it. We can accept the death of the Jin family.
We can accept the loss of property, but the only thing we cannot accept is that the descendants of the Jin family are harmed Chenghua. You must bear full responsibility for Chengxi’s disappearance.”
At this moment, Li Xuan has become the target of public criticism. When the disappearance of Jin Chengxi came to the forefront again, everyone looked angry and pointed the finger at Li Xuan, seeming to want him to give an explanation. Even those who had been calm
The unmoved old man also looked at Li Xuan solemnly. He knew that if he could not give a satisfactory explanation on this matter, then Jin Chengtai would be able to successfully counterattack.
Li Xuan faced everyone's different eyes, with a confident smile on his face.
The counterattack is about to begin
Just when all the focus was focused on Li Xuan, Li Xuan smiled slightly. It was time for the calm before the storm to disappear. In the next second, he would make all the peaceful and peaceful scenes no longer exist.
"Okay, I will give you an explanation." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth turned up, but his eyes looked down in front of him, and his playful tone revealed a slight gloomy feeling.
Everyone is waiting to see how Li Xuan will resolve the crisis at this time. If his explanation is not recognized, then he will be trampled under Jin Chengtae's feet forever like a lost dog.
Everyone was in an uproar, and most of them looked at the people who walked into the conference room in disbelief. Jin Chengtai gritted his teeth and almost jumped up. He held the armrest of the chair tightly to suppress the anger in his heart, but his eyes were sinister and deep.
He never thought that his biological sister would be associated with Li Xuan
"Second Grandpa, I'm fine." Jin Chengxi walked up to the owner of the conference room gracefully and greeted Second Grandpa respectfully. Second Grandpa touched her head happily, which was considered to be a relief.
Put it down, the last thing he wanted to see was for the descendants of the Jin family to be harmed, especially to kill each other.
Jin Chengxi's face was calm. Maybe she should have hatred in her heart, maybe she should be full of resentment, but now, she ignored everything, loved deeply and hated deeply. She didn't hate, not at all. When she came out of her sadness,
She just hopes that Li Xuan will take her away from this whirlpool of power and lust. There is no thought of revenge in her consciousness, because, whether it is Jin Chengtai or her uncle, aunt, and aunt, she has nothing to do with them anymore.
Facing them indifferently, Jin Chengxi has isolated himself on an isolated island. If anyone can ride the wind and waves to reach this area, I am afraid that only Li Xuan is the only one.
With a serious look on his face, Jin Chengxi faced everyone and said in a cold voice: "Do you want to know what happened that day? I will tell you now."
The people on Jin Chengtai's side looked at each other uneasily. Jin Chengtai narrowed his eyes and stared at Jin Chengxi. His mind changed rapidly, and finally he looked at her confidently, appearing to be frank and fearless.
"That day I was called into the KTV box by Kim Sung-tae at Qingmeng Entertainment City. He had friends there and I didn't want to stay any longer, but he forced me to drink a glass of wine before leaving anyway. I couldn't defeat him, so I drank.
After drinking a glass of wine, I passed out. Obviously, the wine was drugged. When I woke up, I found that it was my eldest brother who saved me." After Jin Chengxi said all this calmly, she said to Jin Chengtae
The title has changed and it is no longer "Second Brother" as before.
