Today's Chen family banquet ended in such a farce.
Due to the falling out between the Chen family and the Huang family, many people who were originally close to the Chen family chose to leave early.
After all, the Chen family has completely offended the Huang family. The Chen family is not afraid of death, but they are.
Therefore, before the Huang family takes action against the Chen family, they must clear up their relationship with the Chen family as soon as possible.
Chen Gang didn't care at all about this.
When a wall falls down, people push it down, when a tree falls down, the hozens scatter. This is a common occurrence.
For those who left, I happened to be able to clearly see their nature as wallflowers, and I just stopped dealing with them from now on.
That night, Chen Qi and his family prepared to spend the night in the Chen family compound.
This was his first time, in the so-called true sense, to recognize his ancestors.
When people are wandering around, they must have a home to which they can return.
Chen Qi originally had a family, but now his family has been destroyed.
However, now I have regained that tenderness.
At the dinner banquet, everyone in the Chen family gathered together to celebrate.
This dinner is, firstly, for Chen Qi to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, and to wash away the dust.
The second is to celebrate the vindication of Chen Zemeng, the eldest son of the Chen family.
Chen Lie has been expelled from the Chen family and has completely become a loner.
Some people say that for the series of things that Chen Lie did in the past that made people and gods angry, he must be held responsible for tens of thousands of deaths!
But, Chen Lie is Chen Gang's biological son after all.
Chen Lie could disown his relatives and kill his closest relatives, but Chen Gang really couldn't do it.
Expelling him from the Chen family and leaving him to fend for himself was the kindest kindness a father could give him.
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Gang suddenly stood up and shouted to everyone.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I want to announce something now."
For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
Everyone looked at Chen Gang curiously.
"Today is my eightieth birthday, Chen Gang, and our Chen family has also found a long-lost relative. It can be said to be a double happiness!"
As soon as he said this, the audience burst into applause.
Chen Gang raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then, he continued.
"Our [Dongyuan] Chen family has taken root here for three generations, more than two hundred years ago."
"When our ancestors of the Chen family first came to [Dongyuan], they were still very poor."
"Now, we have no worries about food and clothing, and have become the leading golden-domed family in [Dongyuan]!"
"I believe that the glory of our Chen family will continue to last and be famous for generations to come!"
Speaking of this, Chen Gang suddenly took out the family [Imperial Order].
"This family [imperial order] symbolizes the supreme authority of our Chen family. The one who gets it will be the head of the Chen family."
"Because of it, I lost a good son..."
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly turned sad.
This family [Imperial Order] has indeed caused too much trouble.
It doesn't matter whether it is an unlucky thing or an auspicious thing.
Some people are willing to kill their own blood relatives for it.
Some people will do anything for it!
Chen Lie raised his head and met everyone's gaze.
"I have been the head of the Chen family for a long enough time, and it is time for me to retire."
"Today, I will officially abdicate and hand over the future of the Chen family to someone who has the ability to take charge of it!"
After saying that, Chen Lie smiled and looked at Chen Qi.
"Qi'er, please get up."
Chen Qi was a little stunned, but he stood up honestly.
But Chen Lie stepped forward, grabbed one of Chen Qi's hands, and put the family [Imperial Order] into Chen Qi's hand.
"From now on, you will be the head of our Chen family. I hope you can live up to expectations and lead our Chen family to prosperity!"
Wow~~~
There was an uproar in the hall after such a big fight.
"What?
The old patriarch passed on the position of patriarch to that Chen Qi?"
"This, this, this..."
"real or fake?
Although Chen Qi is also a member of our Chen family, it would be too hasty to hand it over to him so hastily..."
"Yes, anyone who inherits the position of the head of the family has to pass thousands of tests. Chen Qi just recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan today, and he was given such power. What did the old head of the family think?"
…
While everyone was discussing, Chen Yuan quickly stood up and said.
"Father, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run!"
Chen Qian also stood up, "Father, although Chen Qi's nephew helped us retrieve the family's [Imperial Order], which is a great achievement, but you suddenly passed on the position of family head to him, aren't you afraid that he will be incompetent?"
Although Chen Yuan and Chen Qian are not as crazy as their second brother Chen Lie, they will stop at nothing to become the head of the family.
But they have also coveted the position of head of the family for a long time.
I was a little excited when I heard that Chen Gang was preparing to abdicate.
But in fact, the successor chosen by Chen Gang was not any of them.
But a young boy who just recognized his ancestors?
This naturally makes them feel unhappy!
Chen Gang glanced at Chen Yuan and Chen Qian and snorted coldly.
"Is he incompetent?
Are you two capable enough?"
Chen Yuan: "..."
Chen Qian: "..."
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Chen Qi is Chen Ze's son and has inherited his father's excellent character."
Chen Gang looked at Chen Qi with a kind look in his eyes, "Don't panic when encountering difficulties, act steadily, hold your heart with love, and your heart is like Zhixuan! From him, I can see the shadow of Chen Ze."
"I believe that my own vision is not wrong!"
"Father..." Chen Yuan wanted to say something else.
But Chen Gang raised his hand slightly and said, "Okay, I have made up my mind, there is no need to say anything more."
Chen Yuan and Chen Qian looked at each other. Although they were unhappy, they had no choice but to give up.
Chen Qi stared blankly at the family [Imperial Order] in his hand, somewhat dumbfounded.
First of all, he really doesn't want to be the head of the Chen family.
Secondly, Chen Gang's evaluation of him was really too high.
Not to mention other people, even Chen Qi himself was a little embarrassed.
How could Chen Gang see that he didn't panic when faced with trouble, acted steadily, held his heart in his arms, and had a heart full of joy?
Chen Gang seemed to notice something strange about Chen Qi and held Chen Qi's hands tightly again.
"Qi'er, you are offered the position of head of the family, you won't refuse, right?"
Chen Qi: "..."
Chen Gang sighed, "If you want to refuse, grandpa won't force you. At worst, I will work hard for a few more years until I am buried. Alas~~ I originally wanted to enjoy a few years of peace and happiness..."
While talking, Chen Gang's eyes glanced at Chen Qi from time to time.
Of course, he said this deliberately and was playing a trick.
But these words sounded so awkward to Chen Yuan and Chen Qian's ears.
It seems that Chen Qi is the only one in the entire Chen family.
If Chen Qi doesn't want to, aren't there still them?
Of course, you would definitely not dare to say these words, otherwise, Chen Gang's reprimand would be absolutely inevitable!
Chen Qi had no choice but to say this. If he still refused, it would be a bit unkind.
"Okay then, I will keep this family [Imperial Order] temporarily for grandpa."
"If grandpa finds a more suitable candidate, I will give up my position."
"Of course, of course!"
Chen Gang was overjoyed, staring at Chen Qi with burning eyes and said.
