How could Ah Lan not know what Uncle Ren meant? If the elders wanted to embarrass him, they would find various reasons. Although he was back, there was indeed a problem with the business. The disappearance of his father also gave them an excuse to question Ah Lan.
Was Lan's father harmed by him? Of course, if it was his father who came back, they would also say the same thing.
In addition to the business matter, the elders will definitely bring up the matter of Yue Yao. Yue Yao has been brought back to the Leng Mansion, but she has not been subject to the clan rules. They will definitely not miss this opportunity.
"How could they let go of this opportunity? Not long after I left, rumors spread. I believe the clan leader will handle other matters, but they must want to see how I handle the Yueyao matter. If I
If Yueyao is not dealt with, they will definitely raise questions." A Lan said.
"Master, since you already knew that the elders would add insult to injury, why have you still refused to deal with Yueyao?" Uncle Ren asked.
"Because these are two different things and cannot be confused at all. In order to stop their mouths, I have to deal with Yueyao. This seems unfair to Yueyao." A Lan said.
Uncle Ren didn't say anything because he understood A-Lan's mood. After A-Lan left, he closed the shop and returned to Leng Mansion.
A-Lan returned to the teahouse, looked at the teahouse's account books, and gave the shopkeeper advice before returning to Leng Mansion.
The next morning, A-Lan went to the tea garden again. The manager and workers had heard that A-Lan was back yesterday. However, there had been a lot of noise outside in the past few days, and they were also uneasy. They did not expect that A-Lan would come in person early in the morning.
Tea Garden, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Leng family at all.
"Master, you are finally back," the manager said.
"Manager Liu, is the tea garden normal these days?" A Lan asked.
"Master, after the incident at the tea garden, rumors began to spread outside that something happened to you. I originally thought that it would disappear as the tea garden incident was resolved, but I didn't expect that there would be a lot of uproar, and everything was said. We all
As a member of the Leng family, I naturally believe in the Leng family. But I can't help but say that the rumors outside are impressive, which makes many people feel a little uneasy. Fortunately, you are back, and I believe the rumors will dissipate soon." said the manager.
.
"I've heard that there's a lot of buzz over there on East Street. But those are all rumors, and my father will be back soon in a few days." A-Lan said.
"After the young master's accident, some people started spreading rumors outside. I didn't expect that the master also disappeared suddenly." The manager asked.
"Take me in for a walk." Alan said.
"Yes." The manager said.
Manager Liu personally took A-Lan into the tea garden. A-Lan thought of the tea leaves and asked, "Have the tea tips been processed?"
Manager Liu said: "Chajian is a hot commodity right now, so I'm not worried about selling it. Don't worry, young master, we sold it at a good price."
A-Lan's purpose in going to the tea garden was actually to let the tea garden workers know that he was fine. Now he has returned to the Leng family and continues to take care of the Leng family's business.
In the past two days, A-Lan visited all the Leng family's shops in the city. The servants of the Leng family all felt relieved after knowing that the young master was back.
Two days later, the clan leader actually took the elders to the Leng family in person.
"Clan leader, what does this mean?" A Lan asked in confusion.
The clan leader looked at the elders and said, "I came here today because some elders had some questions, so I brought them here."
After the servants served tea, A-Lan asked, "I wonder if something big happened when the elders came here in such a hurry?"
A-Lan's attitude made several elders very angry. The eldest elder even slammed the teacup on the table and said: "As the head of the Leng family, why didn't you explain to the clan why you disappeared after you came back? You left like this
The business has been seriously affected for a long time, shouldn't you explain it? Also, your father has also disappeared, is it related to you? "
"Great Elder, are you looking for my father?" A Lan asked with a shrug.
After the great elder snorted coldly, he continued: "I just want to know what happened these days. You disappeared first, and then your father also disappeared. Now you are back, and your father has not returned yet.
.I know that Yuan Jun has always disliked you. Could it be that you did something..."
"Great Elder, you have gone too far." The patriarch interrupted the Great Elder.
"Patriarch, I am not the only one who has this kind of doubt, all the elders who are doing this have their doubts. What's more, as the head of the clan suddenly disappeared, how dare you hand over the Leng family's business to him?" said the eldest elder.
Ah Lan sneered and said, "Great Elder, if you want to know anything, just say it in pain, don't hold it in your heart."
"We just want to know where you have been during this time and where your father is." The great elder said.
After hearing this, A Lan continued: "My father is not missing, and I did not leave Leng Mansion for no reason. I believe you should have heard from the patriarch that I was seriously injured in a sneak attack. When I ran out of Leng Mansion, the people behind me
Still chasing me. If someone hadn't rescued me halfway, you might have seen my body. The person who rescued me was my master, who is also the owner of Yaowang Valley. Because I mentioned my father by accident, I asked him about his father.
How was my father's health? When I mentioned my father's condition, my master confirmed that my father was seriously ill. Because I was seriously injured and could not come back, my master's people took my father away. Because I was in a hurry, I did not leave a note. During this time,
My father is recuperating from illness, but his condition has stabilized, so I came back in a hurry because I was worried about the Leng family's business."
"Your father is perfectly fine, how could he get sick?" The elder obviously didn't believe what A Lan said.
"If you don't believe what I say, what's the use of my explanation? When father comes back, you can ask him personally." A Lan said coldly.
"When did your father come back? And where did your wife go? Even if your father needs medical treatment, your wife can still take care of business, right? Why is your wife missing?" the elder continued to ask.
"Father will be back soon. The great elder seems to be very interested in that woman." A Lan said.
"You, you are so slanderous, do you think you killed her?" the great elder said, patting the table.
"Great Elder, A-Lan is the head of the clan, how can you speak like this?" the clan leader asked unable to listen anymore.
"Patriarch, there are obviously so many doubts in his words, why do you believe him so much?" the elder continued.
"Great Elder, do you think that I put my father under house arrest and then killed that woman?" Alan said.
"This is what you said." The great elder said.
"Alan, the Great Elder is an elder. You must speak in a measured manner. What the Great Elder means is also what we mean. You and Yuanjun are missing, but only you are back, so we will naturally have doubts in our hearts. What's more, now
There is an uproar outside, and the Leng family's business has also been affected. As elders, we came here to hear your explanation, isn't it okay?" Another elder said.
"Second Elder, what you said is serious. I know you are worried about your father's safety, but I have already explained that my father is fine now. He is just recuperating in one place. When he recovers, he will come back naturally. As for the impact of the Leng family's business,
The impact does not seem to be because of our father and son. I have been to the store in the past two days, and the business has been affected because of those rumors. How do people outside know about the Leng family, and since rumors are spreading, why don't the elders find ways to suppress them?
Come down." Alan said coldly.
"Based on your one-sided words, it is difficult for us to believe what you say. Although the patriarch believes in you, he has not seen your father in person. Although he is not good to you, he is also your biological father. Our Leng family can
You can't have a cold-blooded leader, do you understand what we mean?" the second elder said.
"I understand, you and Elder Sun actually have different intentions. The Great Elder just plans to frame me for putting my father under house arrest and harming that woman. And what you mean is that you plan to change the head of the family. Patriarch, what do you mean?
"Alan glanced at the clan leader and said.
"Alan, the patriarch is not from the Leng family." The elder said coldly.
A Lan's attitude towards the elder is really intolerable. The patriarch has sacrificed a lot for the Leng family and for his grandfather. Isn't this enough? Just saying he is not a member of the Leng family erases all the credit.
"Great Elder, the patriarch is the person I respect most besides my grandfather. Please be careful in your words. If the Leng family did not have a patriarch, I am afraid that the Leng family would no longer be the current Leng family. The elders plan to re-elect the head of the family.
Of course I won't object. I can also hand over the Leng family's business, and even our family can move out of the Leng family." A Lan said coldly.
A Lan's tone was very strong, because he was indeed angry. The clan leader was very important to him. When he saw the clan leader, it was like seeing his grandfather. These elders just sit back and enjoy their success every day without doing anything, and they also like to point fingers.
. Now he is taking advantage of the impact on the Leng family’s business and plans to take advantage of it.
"Alan, your words are too strong. We know that the patriarch is important, but he is never from the Leng family. Of course, there is no need to hand over the Leng family's business, and it is not necessary to replace the head of the family. But, you just want to know
, where did your father go? We don’t want you to lie. After all, we also know that since childhood, Yuan Jun has indeed done a bit too much. As long as you tell the truth, we will no longer pursue it." The third elder laughed.
said.
The third elder is a smiling tiger. He is the most insidious among the three elders, and he will be fooled if he is not careful.
If A-Lan really did something to his father and listened to the third elder's words, rumors might spread the next day that A-Lan killed his father and was not worthy of being the head of the Leng family.
Ah Lan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Third Elder, what I just said is the truth. However, if you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do."
"Oh? So Brother Yuanjun is indeed recovering from his illness?" asked the third elder.
"That's right, I am indeed recuperating and I will be back in a few days." A Lan said.
"Since he's almost healed, you can always tell us where he is, right?" the third elder said.
"Master said that father needs to rest, so we can't disturb him." A Lan continued.
The third elder said gently: "Alan, don't blame the elder for being grumpy. Just think about it and we can't believe your one-sided words. After all, we haven't seen your father in person. Since you said that he
He is recuperating, which means he should be getting better. We want to know where he is and plan to visit him. However, you don't even tell us where he is, so it's really hard for us to believe you."
"Even if the third elder knows where my father is, he may not believe me." A Lan said with a smile.
