Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Miss Wen, you flatter me. Why do you sound as if I'm a troublemaker?"
Wen Lan couldn't help but shake her head and smile, "I just think that Master Long is really extraordinary."
"No, no, no, no. After the analysis just now, I feel that Young Miss Wen is the one who has impressed me. Xue Caining thinks that she is scheming and scheming, but I think that whether it is her or that cousin of hers, Xue Tianyi, they are actually inferior to you!"
Wen Lan smiled slightly and said, "After my mother gave birth to me, she never got pregnant again. My father is a rare good man in the circle of the rich and powerful. If it were the patriarch of another rich and powerful family, he would probably divorce my mother and marry someone else. At the very least, he would let another woman give birth to a child for him. But my father didn't. He said that even if I was his only child, he would accept it. He also felt that it was the greatest gift from God to him."
Xiao Bing was in awe and said, "Your father is very admirable."
Wen Lan smiled and said, "So I always think that he is the most perfect man in the world. Mr. Xiao, Beauty is here. Oh, by the way, don't call me Miss Wen anymore. You can call me Wen Lan in the future. "
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Okay, Wen Lan, from now on, we should be friends."
Xiao Bing reached out his hand. Wen Lan glanced at Xiao Bing and then reached out her hand with a smile. They shook hands.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Bing waved his hand and watched Wen Lan's car drive away. Then he went up the steps and walked into Beauty.
Xiao Bing still had a good impression of Wen Lan. At least she was a smart woman. From this matter, if Wen Lan wanted to keep a distance from Xiao Bing and avoid offending the Xue Family, she would not have stopped the car and asked Xiao Bing to sit in the passenger seat. A smart woman like Wen Lan would think about everything she did and said.
Many people might still be in awe of Xiao Bing now, but they had to keep a distance. Wen Lan didn't care about that, because she saw something deeper. She saw that in the next few years, the Xue Family would go downhill. The internal strife of the Xue Family was about to begin. At that time, who would care about Xiao Bing? If he didn't make friends with Xiao Bing now, when would he?
This woman is very smart!
Inside the Xue Family, the three sons of the Xue Family were all guarding Great-grandfather Xue's ward. Every one of them had a grave expression on their faces. Xue Chuan's eyes hid a hint of anticipation, Xue Gang's face was expressionless, and Xue Jiang's face was filled with grief.
At this time, Xue Chuan sighed and said, "Father is currently unconscious, and the family cannot be without a leader for even a day. Father had already instructed me to temporarily manage the Xue family after his death. I hope that Elder Brother and Younger Brother can do their best to assist me."
Xue Jiang was the first to reply, "Don't worry. As a member of the Xue family, I'm duty-bound to do this. But I don't want to be too involved in the family's affairs. The reason why Xiao Bing could be so unscrupulous in the family before was because there was no one in the family. My plan is to become a Lieutenant General within a few years, so I plan to return to the army tonight and strive to be promoted as soon as possible to bring glory to the Xue family. "
Xue Chuan nodded and said, "Third Brother, you are the pillar of the Xue family. Although we have many connections in the military and the political arena, and father and grandfather still have students all over the world, they will also take care of the Xue family. But these are not as useful as the strength of our family. If the Xue family wants to continue to be strong, brother, you must be promoted to Lieutenant General as soon as possible, and even promoted to General one day in the future. At that time, at least the Xue family will be able to stand tall in the foreseeable future, and stand tall as one of the four major families in Jing City."
Xue Chuan looked at Xue Gang and said, "Elder Brother, I know that what happened to my nephew has made you a little disheartened now, but you must pull yourself together. There are still many things in the family that need your help. We brothers are of one mind, and together we can cut through gold."
"Yes." Xue Gang nodded somewhat gloomily.
Xue Chuan sighed and said, "I still hope that father will wake up one day."
Xue Gang said, "Second Brother, Third Brother, you continue to guard here. I want to go back and calm down first. The blow to me these few days is really … Sigh."
Xue Chuan and Xue Jiang expressed their understanding and immediately let Xue Gang leave. After Xue Gang left, Xue Chuan sighed and said, "Third Brother, Xue Tianyi is really troublesome. It is because of him that our Xue family has lost so much face. But after all, he is the son of Elder Brother. Now that he is gone, the blow to Elder Brother is really too big. I am afraid that Elder Brother will be depressed, so I want him to temporarily put down all the affairs in the family, unload his heavy burden, and go abroad to relax. What do you think?"
Xue Jiang's gaze was a little complicated. He looked deeply at his second brother who had a gloomy personality, and then said, "I will follow Second Brother's opinion."
"Good." Xue Chuan sighed and said, "Let him go out to relax. When he comes back, I will continue to let Elder Brother take care of some of the business in the company, but I won't let Elder Brother be too tired. Right now, I only hope that Elder Brother won't be overwhelmed. Father and Tianyi are both gone."
Xue Jiang sighed and said, "I hope so."
Xue Gang walked out of the hospital with a gloomy expression and then sat in his car. He immediately took out his phone and made a call. On the other side of the phone, he said in a stern tone, "Prepare to take action. The family meeting is about to begin, and the power struggle will begin immediately!"
Xue Gang hung up the phone and slammed it to the side. Then, he slammed his palm on the steering wheel and said coldly, "Xue Chuan, oh Xue Chuan, I've waited for so many years. The position of Patriarch should have been mine. Now that my son is gone, do you think I'll give up the position of Patriarch to you so easily? Aren't you looking down on my, Xue Gang's, resolution? We still don't know who will be the winner! "
The next day, Xue Jiang returned to the army, while Xue Chuan called for a family meeting. Now that the Xue family's old master was not around, the family had to call for a meeting to determine the new Patriarch. Although Xue Chuan had recently received the approval of the old master, and the old master had repeatedly expressed that Xue Chuan would replace Xue Gang as the first successor of the Xue family, since the old master was not around, they had to call for a meeting to announce it.
In today's family meeting, Xue Chuan did not call his two brothers. Xue Jiang went to the army, and as for Xue Gang, he did not even inform him. According to him, Xue Gang had suffered many setbacks recently, so he wanted Xue Gang to have a good rest. In reality, Xue Chuan did not want any changes.
In the living room of the Xue Family's mansion, Xue Chuan was sitting at the head of the table. There were four people sitting on either side of him. The oldest one was about 60 or 70 years old, and the youngest one was about 30 years old. They were the real pillars of the Xue Family, the big shots of the Xue Family.
Xue Chuan coughed and said with a sorrowful face, "Everyone should have heard that the Patriarch of the Xue family, my father, is now in a coma in the hospital. The doctor said that the chances of him waking up are very slim, and the probability is not more than 4%. As his son, although I feel very sad, a country cannot be without a monarch, and a family cannot be without a master. My father has long intended to pass the position of Patriarch to me. Recently, it has been in my hands, and I believe everyone knows that."
"As my father's biological son, the old man's blood flows in my body, so I have the obligation to lead the entire Xue family to glory! So I … "
While Xue Chuan was speaking, someone suddenly pushed open the door and barged in. Xue Chuan was passionately expressing his attitude when someone suddenly interrupted him. Xue Chuan said angrily, "Who asked you to … Eh, big brother? Why are you here? "
It turned out that the person who walked in was none other than Xue Chuan's older brother, Xue Gang. At this moment, among the eight elders present, two of them had a confused look on their faces, two of them had a look of indifference, and the remaining four had a look of satisfaction on their faces.
At this moment, Xue Gang walked in and directly sat at the head of the table beside Xue Chuan. Xue Chuan smiled and said, "Big brother, I saw that you were in a bad mood recently, so I didn't invite you over."
"I understand." Xue Gang's face also revealed a smile as he said, "Second brother, no matter what, I am also a part of this family. Moreover, this family has always been under my management all these years. No matter how sad I am, I shouldn't delay the important matters of the family. I still have to be here. Second brother, you lack consideration."
Xue Gang was right. All these years, the important matters of the family had usually been handed over to him to manage. This was because the Patriarch had always hoped that he would inherit the position of Patriarch, while Xue Chuan only played a supporting role from the side. As for Xue Jiang, his heart and soul were in the army.
Xue Chuan forced a smile and said, "Big brother, you are right. I indeed lack consideration. Since you are here, then please listen from the side. Recently, so many important matters have happened in the family. Father is temporarily not here, so I have to calm the hearts of the people. Therefore, I will now arrange the work of the family and redistribute the matters in everyone's hands. Only when everything is in order can we overcome this crisis."
Xue Gang's expression was unkind as he said, "Second brother, what you said is wrong. Father is temporarily not here, so the family should be taken over by me. I am the eldest son of the family and your older brother. Moreover, I have always been in charge of the family's affairs. I am more experienced than you, second brother. Father has always been willing to hand over the family's affairs to me."
Xue Chuan frowned and said, "Big brother, it's not like you don't know what father meant before he fainted …"
Xue Gang sighed and said, "At that time, father's body was already failing. I feel that every decision father made and every thought he had was made while he was unconscious."
Xue Chuan's tone became slightly heavy, "Big brother!"
Xue Gang said, "How about this, let's vote here. The eight gentlemen present here can already represent all the higher-ups of our Xue family. Everyone has one vote. The Xue family is everyone's Xue family. Now, let's all vote. Do you think I should be the Patriarch, or should my second brother be the Patriarch?"
Xue Gang looked around with a calm and confident expression. The corner of Xue Chuan's eyes twitched twice, and his gaze became increasingly gloomy and cold.
