The Wu Family Ancestor's request was actually a test of Wu Xing's methods and courage. From the way he handled Lin Wan's matter, it was enough to see if Wu Xing was qualified for the position of Family Head.
The simplest principle was that as a Family Head, he naturally had to indulge in beauties. At the same time, he couldn't die because of a woman.
Secondly, as the Family Head, he had to be responsible for all of the Wu Family members. If his wife did something that harmed the Wu Family, then as the Family Head, Wu Xing couldn't deal with it impartially.
Hearing the Wu Family Ancestor's words, a complicated expression flashed through Wu Xing's eyes. He respectfully bowed and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Wu Xing couldn't refuse the Ancestor's request. After he finished speaking, Wu Xing's gaze landed on Lin Wan. When she met Wu Xing's gaze, Lin Wan's eyes were filled with guilt and regret.
Who would have thought that things would turn out like this? Not only did Wu Lin die, but even his father was killed by Xiao Chen with a single finger. Wu Xing became the best candidate for the position of Family Head.
If she wasn't possessed and agreed to Wu Lin's request, then what would have happened? Would she have become the Wu Family's Mistress?
Her heart was filled with regret. Lin Wan wept and begged, "Husband, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I really know I was wrong."
Facing Lin Wan's begging, the complicated expression in Wu Xing's eyes became even more intense. However, it was quickly replaced by determination. Looking at Lin Wan, Wu Xing said in a deep voice, "There is no turning back.
Lin Wan, from today onwards, our relationship as husband and wife is over. As for the matter between you and Wu Lin, as well as the losses you've brought to the Wu Family, only the family rules can punish you. "
As he spoke, Wu Xing wrote a divorce letter on the spot. After receiving the divorce letter, Lin Wan completely collapsed. Her legs turned to jelly and she immediately burst into tears.
However, even though Wu Xing had directly divorced Lin Wan, it still wasn't enough. He still hadn't met the Wu family's ancestor's requirements. Wu Xing was very clear about this. He immediately turned his head and looked at one of the elders of the Wu family. That elder was in charge of the Wu family's punishments.
"According to the Wu Family's rules, how should we deal with Lin Wan?"
"As a married woman, she betrayed her husband and committed adultery. This is already a capital offense. Moreover, she has also brought great losses to the Wu family. Even if she were to die ten thousand times, she would not be able to absolve herself from the blame."
Death penalty. Hearing this, Lin Wan was stunned. She immediately tried to crawl towards Wu Xing as if she was crazy. However, it was a pity that the two Wu family members behind her immediately restrained her.
Struggling on the ground, Lin Wan screamed hysterically. "Wu Xing, you can't … You can't kill me. I'm your wife. I'm your wife."
In the face of Lin Wan's hysterical screams, Wu Xing's expression became incomparably ugly. Humans were not plants and could not be emotionless. Even if one raised a dog for a long time, one would develop feelings for it, let alone a wife who had shared a bed with him for many years.
If Wu Xing wasn't being tested by the Ancestor, or if he wasn't a candidate for the position of Patriarch, then Wu Xing would definitely let Lin Wan go. Unfortunately, Wu Xing couldn't do that right now.
Not only because of Yi Shan, but there was also an even more important reason, and that was his face.
Since he was going to become the new Patriarch of the Wu family, then Lin Wan definitely couldn't be alive. Because as long as Lin Wan was alive, it would be a humiliation to Wu Xing. As the Patriarch of the Wu family, Wu Xing's humiliation was the Wu family's humiliation.
Therefore, no matter what the reason was, Lin Wan had to be the Patriarch. Only her death could exchange for a new life for the entire Wu family.
Executing Lin Wan was indeed a very painful thing for Wu Xing. In the past, Wu Xing loved Lin Wan so much.
However, Wu Xing had no other choice. He was clear that no matter if he was willing to be the Patriarch or not, Lin Wan would definitely die.
If he didn't become the Patriarch, then he wouldn't have to personally give the order to execute Lin Wan. However, Lin Wan still couldn't live.
Lin Wan could only blame her own choice. From the moment she agreed to Wu Lin's request, everything had already been decided.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xing didn't even look at Lin Wan. He was afraid that his heart would soften. Waving his hand, Wu Xing said indifferently, "Take her away."
Although Wu Xing didn't say that he would execute Lin Wan, it was enough to show his attitude. Hearing Wu Xing's words, Lin Wan was stunned. Then, she screamed crazily.
"Wu Xing, you bastard! You're not human! I'm your wife! You can't kill me! Wu Xing …"
Lin Wan screamed continuously. However, Wu Xing didn't respond. Until Lin Wan was brought out of the hall and her screams gradually disappeared, Wu Xing didn't even look at her.
Letting out a mouthful of turbid air, Wu Xing slowly closed his eyes and held back his tears. Indeed, Lin Wan had accompanied him for so many years. What he did was indeed wrong to her.
But it couldn't be helped. Who asked Wu Xing to be born into a family like the Wu Family? If Wu Xing was born into an ordinary family or even a small aristocratic family, Wu Xing wouldn't do this today. At most, he would send a letter of divorce, divorce Lin Wan, and kick her out of the family.
But it was a pity that Wu Xing was born into the Wu Family, so he had no choice but to do this. As one of the four major forces of the Flame Wind Realm, a top-notch aristocratic family with tens of thousands of years of history, what was the most important thing to the Wu Family?
That's right, it was their reputation. The Wu Family wouldn't tolerate a disgrace like Lin Wan to live in this world. Therefore, Lin Wan had to be the Patriarch. This was something that no one could change. Even the Wu Family's ancestor couldn't protect Lin Wan this time.
"Forget it." After a long while, Wu Xing muttered softly. Then, he opened his eyes again. But at this moment, Wu Xing's eyes were filled with a different expression.
Dignity, indifference, domineering. These were things that Wu Xing had never had before. But now, they appeared on his body. If he wanted to secure the position of the Wu Family's Patriarch, these things were essential.
Sensing the change in Wu Xing, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He thought to himself, "It seems that Wu Xing has undergone a transformation."
Lin Wan's matter had indeed caused Wu Xing to undergo a transformation. After this transformation, Wu Xing clearly met the requirements to be the Patriarch of the Wu Family.
Not only Xiao Chen, but even the seven ancestors of the Wu Family had sensed the change in Wu Xing. The seven of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. Obviously, they were very satisfied with Wu Xing's performance. Wu Xing had successfully passed the seven of them's assessment.
After making a decision, one of the Wu Family's ancestors stepped forward and announced loudly to the Wu Family members present, "From today onwards, Wu Xing will be the new Patriarch of the Wu Family."
