The old patriarch’s sudden announcement shocked everyone present.
And Li Xiang seemed to have already anticipated this result.
His expression was calm and there was no trace of any disturbance.
The old patriarch tried to find a trace of joy on his face.
But I was still disappointed not to see it.
The old patriarch thought about people like Li Xiang who were calm and calm-faced.
There is absolutely no one left in the Li family.
So can the old patriarch’s next plan be successfully implemented?
In an instant, there was no certainty at all.
Then the old patriarch began to feel a little panicked.
"No, I object!" Li Xi suddenly jumped out and shouted.
Some people take it for granted and look on indifferently;
Some people looked surprised, but then looked at them with somewhat meaningful smiles;
Some people had secret joy on their faces, as if Li Xi's reaction was their plan.
…
Li Xi turned a deaf ear to the reactions of the tribesmen at the scene.
She thinks she is the old patriarch's favorite granddaughter.
Why not her?
I can't believe that grandpa would decide the successor of the clan leader to his least favorite grandson, Li Xiang.
The old patriarch looked at Li Xi with heartbroken eyes.
He thought that two or three of his sons would object, and one of his grandchildren would object.
I have always thought that Li Xi was the junior who understood him best.
But he never expected that Li Xi would be the first person to jump out and object.
You know, he made this decision all because of her, Li Xi.
For the sake of herself a hundred years later, she can use this decision to still enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of her life.
Isn’t Li Xi clearly causing trouble today?
The old patriarch's face was ashen, as if there was a lump in his throat, and he almost fell over when he breathed.
Li Xi seemed not to see the expression on the patriarch's face.
I didn't hear any response for a long time, and I thought grandpa was just deaf and didn't hear clearly.
So she grabbed one of the patriarch's hands with both hands and continued to coquettishly say:
"Grandpa, I said that I object to what you just said, handing over the position of the next clan leader to Brother Li Xiang. Have you heard this?"
When the clan members saw the old clan leader's face, his face became even more ugly.
There were private discussions that the old patriarch would scold Li Xi for the first time.
Li Xiang's ears also heard questions similar to what Zhang Ling heard from the tribesmen.
But Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling with firm eyes and shook his head.
Zhang Ling was somewhat skeptical about Li Xiang's shaking head.
Because she also feels that the fate of the family is such a big deal.
The old patriarch would probably reprimand Li Xi for being ignorant.
Still surprising many clan members, the old clan leader smiled again and said to Li Xi:
"I heard it, I heard it, do you still think that you are suitable for the position of patriarch?"
Zhang Ling gave Li Xiang a thumbs up for being able to accurately guess the behavior of the clan leader.
Obviously, Li Xi will never be reprimanded by the old patriarch next.
What Zhang Ling didn't know was that these were just what Li Xiang had expected.
Including Li Xihui, he was the first person to jump out against the old patriarch.
When Li Xi heard the old patriarch's words, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
But this woman who has no self-awareness still seems not to have heard the lamentations of her tribesmen.
He took it for granted and said in front of many clan members:
"Grandpa, you are in your prime now and you don't look old at all. You can definitely imitate Emperor Qianlong and become Emperor Jiaqing. If Xi'er is the patriarch of the clan, you can just like Emperor Qianlong and guide Xi'er in managing the family.
."
These remarks really shocked many tribesmen present.
After hearing this, the old patriarch felt like he was more than ten years younger.
Cheerful laughter echoed in the lobby.
After Zhang Ling heard this, she shook her head repeatedly and whispered to Li Xiang beside her:
"No, that's not right. With Li Xi's IQ, he would never be able to say such a thing. There must be an expert behind this woman."
Li Xiangye responded with a calm smile:
"That's right! I think so too. I just don't know who this expert will be?"
After saying this, Li Xiang's sharp eyes began to scan all the clan members around him.
Li Xiang had just filtered a dozen people, but Zhang Ling said at this time:
"No need to look for it. I am sure that this person is definitely not here. But he can control everything here at all times."
Li Xiang asked doubtfully:
"Have you guessed who the master behind Li Xi is?"
Zhang Ling smiled and motioned to Li Xiang to take a closer look. Li Xi said:
"Look at the white part of her left ear covered by hair?"
"Wireless Bluetooth headset!" Li Xiang said with some surprise after observing for a while.
He had to admire Zhang Ling's meticulous observation.
At the same time, it also explains Li Xi's abnormal behavior today.
The patriarch of the family didn't seem to realize that there was an expert behind his granddaughter's back.
So he looked at Li Xi with admiration and said:
"Well, not bad, not bad! The decision to let you go to XX Business School was a wise one. I didn't expect you to be able to speak with such high standards. Grandpa is very pleased, very pleased!"
Li Xi saw his grandfather's unprecedented admiration.
Her whole body seemed to be floating instantly.
So he once again leaned his head on the shoulder of the patriarch and said:
"Grandpa, please just make this decision happily! Xi'er promises that when he becomes the patriarch of the clan, he will completely obey your arrangements and fully implement all the tasks you assigned to Xi'er, so as to make our Li family
Go to the next level."
After listening to Li Xi's words, the clan members present saw the old clan leader completely immersed in Li Xi's words.
Everyone began to worry that the old patriarch had really left the fate of the family in Li Xi's hands.
Several bold people spoke one after another, trying to persuade the old patriarch not to listen to Li Xi's words.
Unexpectedly, most of the clan members would just say a title, but they would be frightened by the sharp eyes of the old clan leader and not dare to say any more.
So everyone beat their chests and lamented that if the old patriarch really did this, the Li family would probably be destroyed at the hands of Li Xi.
Because they never believed in a "Feng Shui master incident", the family has lost nearly 30% of its profits, and the old patriarch personally spent huge sums of money to fish out the troublemaker.
In addition, this troublemaker basically causes trouble for the family once or twice a month.
The family spends huge amounts of public relations money every month to help the troublemakers wipe their butts.
Will she have the ability to keep the Li family thriving?
Suppose that Li Xi is always excellent like Li Xiang, but occasionally accidentally causes a loss to the family.
Then these tribesmen would still be willing to believe that Li Xi has this ability.
pity!
Li Xi, she is not.
In the lobby, the tribesmen began to commotion again because of Li Xi's words.
Zhang Ling saw that Li Xi still turned a deaf ear to these turbulent remarks.
She somewhat admired Li Xi's psychological strength in facing negative public opinion.
No!
To be precise, Li Xi has the ability to make the old patriarch support her all the time.
No matter how many tribesmen are dissatisfied with her, there is no need to worry.
Zhang Ling took the opportunity to whisper in Li Xiang's ear and asked:
"Hey, Li Xiang, why do you sound so unpopular in the family? I just heard that many clan members are not willing to let you be the clan leader."
A capable young talent like Li Xiang.
Li Xi was killed instantly with just one finger.
She thought that she would hear many tribesmen supporting his remarks.
Zhang Ling felt a little strange!
She searched for a long time but didn't hear a word of support from any clan member.
Many people even stood up and spoke against Li Xiang.
Some people say that Li Xiang has a cold temperament, is rebellious, and does not even attend his parents' funerals, so he is not worthy of being the head of the Li family.
Some people say that Li wants to use the family's financial resources to make the company bigger and stronger, but he is ungrateful.
Not long ago, Li Xi broke away from the control of the family consortium with the help of his wedding.
Li Xiang is now an outsider to the family.
Therefore, it is even more inappropriate for an outsider to be the leader of this clan.
Li Xiang also heard these remarks.
He just smiled indifferently, looked at Zhang Ling affectionately and responded:
"I heard it. So what can it do? In fact, I am not interested in this clan leader either."
As the head of the Li family, you can control everything in the Li family.
Including the Li Group, which is famous all over the world.
According to Zhang Ling's current logic analysis, when ordinary men face these temptations, they have absolutely no resistance at all.
But she saw Li Xiang hearing the old patriarch's decision.
His eyes were like a lake of death, without any waves or life.
Then she asked with a bit of curiosity on her face:
"You are not even interested in the head of the Li family. So what are you interested in?"
Li Xiang's smile was mixed with increasingly intense love and he said:
"Of course it's for Xiaodouzi, so we have a very strong interest in becoming a family of three protected by the law."
Zhang Ling bowed her head shyly and said with a smile:
"Is this a proposal?"
"What do you think?" Li Xiang asked with a bit of a naughty feeling.
"You are so cunning!" he said with a bit of coquettishness.
"Haha..." Li Xiang smiled and recognized the word cunning.
Zhang Ling said with a smile and a bit of complaint:
"You proposed marriage with nothing, and you even had to use Xiaodouzi's name to make excuses."
"Can't you say that?" Li Xiang said with a smirk, pretending to be confused.
Zhang Ling did not answer his words and continued to complain:
"What's even more outrageous is that not a single word in your rhetoric can be directly linked to the proposal. You are clearly a real liar! No one will be fooled."
"Liar?" Li Xiang couldn't believe that he would be associated with these two words.
"Yes, I think you just want to deceive your wife. If the scam is exposed in the future, you will have a reason not to be responsible."
"No, don't get me wrong. I, Li Xiang, have absolutely no such bad intentions towards you."
While talking, Li Xiang took the opportunity to hug Zhang Ling, who seemed to be emotional, in front of everyone.
Or maybe it's because no one has stayed in the dormitory for a long time, so I always feel the uncomfortable and biting chill.
So Zhang Ling was greedy for the rare warmth in Li Xiang's arms and refused to leave.
She leaned into his arms with a smile and said softly:
"I know!"
Li Xiang felt as if he had eaten honey, and his heart was sweet.
At this moment, the two just want to enjoy the quiet happiness that hugging each other brings.
But Zhang Ling overheard another special comment saying that Li Xiang was not worthy of being the patriarch.
She actually heard Li Xiang's heartbeat clearly, running like a deer running for its life.
That is, someone once saw Li Xiang, a grown man wearing women's clothing, showing off in public, which was indecent.
Zhang Ling felt incredible when she heard such remarks.
A playful smile appeared on her face, and she observed Li Xiang with strange eyes.
Although he didn't say a word about this yet, Li Xiang's face was already burning as if someone had put it on a fire.
Li thought how much he wanted to clarify to Zhang Ling that he had never done it.
But Li Xiang couldn't defend himself in front of many Li clan members at this moment.
Because wearing women's clothing is indeed something Li Xiang has done before.
As a substitute, he cannot be easily denied.
Of course, this is also a reason why the old patriarch has always disliked Li Xiang and did not want to say it clearly.
The old patriarch once again used his majesty to silence the commotion.
Was this kind of scolding meant specifically to help Li Xiang get out of trouble?
Because all the old patriarch's attention was attracted by Li Xi at this moment.
But Li Xiang had to admit that this scolding also helped him out.
Because that tribesman happened to say what Li Xiang least wanted to hear, another comment about the real Li Xiang.
In other words, those people boldly speculated that the real Li Xiang was a person with sexual orientation issues.
If he said this, he felt that Zhang Ling would immediately think of a way to let him prove it in front of many Li clan members.
Oh my god!
How to prove this in front of everyone?
At this time, a strong sense of seriousness appeared on the old patriarch's kind face.
He said to Li Xi beside him:
"Okay! Xi'er, grandpa, I already understand what you mean. You should know that the family's future is not a child's play."
"grandfather……"
The old patriarch stopped Li Xi loudly and stopped him before he could continue:
"Xi'er, dear, stop making such nonsense!"
This time I shouted loudly to stop it. From the sound alone, there was nothing special about it.
He even showed a bit of doting towards Li Xi.
But coupled with the old patriarch's special facial expression, Li Xi instantly became much quieter.
"Okay." Li Xi said with an unhappy pout like a child who had not grown up.
The worries on the faces of many of these tribesmen were instantly reduced by more than half.
The old clan leader then puffed out his chest and looked around the clan members with great dignity. His eyes fell on Li Xiang again and announced loudly:
"Li Xiang, a descendant of the clan, has both virtues and talents, is destined by God's will, has a lot of money and is a good businessman, and has the appearance of a Confucian businessman. Today I inform everyone in the family that Li Xiang will succeed me as the patriarch. I would like to inform all the ancestors..."
"Wait a minute!" Li Pan bravely interrupted the old patriarch suddenly.
The old patriarch looked at Li Pan with an extremely unhappy face and asked:
"If you have something urgent, can't you wait for me to finish talking?"
Li Pan explained with an extremely painful and twisted expression:
"No, Grandpa Patriarch, I'm so anxious. I really can't hold it in any longer. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'm going to shit my pants."
Many tribesmen in the dormitory burst into laughter.
The old patriarch looked disgusted and said nothing, waving his hand for Li Pan to leave quickly.
Return to calm after a "quiet".
After a pause of more than ten seconds, the old patriarch looked slightly embarrassed and looked at Li Xiang and asked:
"Li Xiang, where did I just say it?"
At this time, Li Xiang took a few steps towards the old patriarch and said:
"Patriarch, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you at all. So I don't know where you specifically said it."
"How presumptuous! You Li Xiang..." Li Xiang's elders jumped out and loudly accused him.
Li Xiang didn't even look at the elder and continued to explain to the old patriarch:
"Clan leader, look at it. Uncle XX is not convinced by your decision. Anyway, I have just been appointed as the next clan leader by you. He jumped out and cursed me, the clan leader who has not yet taken office."
Li Xiang cleverly handed over the objections after the favor to the old patriarch to handle.
The old patriarch's sharp look almost scared Uncle XX who had just jumped out and made him urinate on the spot.
Li Xiang shook his head and glanced at Uncle XX before continuing to say to the old patriarch:
"So, patriarch, you don't have to say anything. I don't even agree with this decision of yours."
