At two o'clock in the morning, everything was silent, and it was pitch black all around, only the lights of Nalan Mansion were brilliant.

The women sat in the side hall, all with sad faces, and several young girls couldn't help but choke up and sobbed lowly.

The men sat in the main hall not far away, with sad expressions and different faces.

Nalan Zhenbang, Nalan Zhenshan, Nalan Zhenhai, Nalan Zhende, Nalan Wencheng, and Nalan Wenyi sat on one side, and Nalan Ziying, Nalan Ziran, Nalan Zijian, Nalan Zihui, Nalan Zijun, and Nalan Zilian sat on one side.

It had been a long time since the people of the Nalan family had gathered together so neatly, and the scene that should have greeted and chatted with each other did not appear, but was surprisingly quiet.

No one spoke, the hall was so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was oppressive and dreary.

The door on the second floor creaked to break the silence, and Pang Zhiyuan pushed the door out and stood in front of the railing.

"Zhenbang, the old man has something to say to you."

Nalan Zhenbang stood up and walked up the stairs slowly, each step was extremely heavy, this day finally came, which meant the end of one era of the Nalan family, but it did not necessarily mean the beginning of another era.

The Nalan family finally came to a crossroads

Pushing the door in, Nalan Wenruo was half-lying and leaning on the backrest, his hair was meticulously combed with silver threads, he still paid so much attention to details, even if he was terminally ill, he had to dress up decently. Fastest mobile phone: 33

He hadn't visited his father for a long time, and he had the impression that his father was like a towering mountain, standing forever, but at the moment his father on the bed had a withered, pale face, and lifeless.

"Dad".

Nalan Wenruo nodded lightly, revealing a hint of a smile, "Zhenbang, how long has it been since you called me Dad"

"Twenty-five years, five months, and fifteen days."

Nalan Wenruo smiled, "It's past the wee hours of the morning now, it should be twenty-five years, five months and sixteen days."

Nalan Zhenbang's body trembled slightly, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"You remember it so well"

"Zhenbang, Dad's heart has always had you. Twenty days are your seventieth birthday, but unfortunately I can't make it."

The corners of Nalan Zhenbang's mouth twitched, "Dad, my son is not filial."

Nalan Wenruo shook his head, "Who stipulates that sons must listen to their father, you have your ideas and opinions, which shows that my education for you is successful." There are reformers and conservatives in a country, and the same is true for a family. In fact, I have thought about it over the years, if I had listened to you at the beginning, what would it be like now, maybe the Nalan family is not as brilliant as it is today, but it will not leave today's hidden dangers."

"Dad, it's all over."

"It's almost past for me, it's just the beginning for you." Initial launch, domain name please remember three

Nalan Zhenbang sat at the head of the bed, holding Nalan Wenruo's dry palm with both hands.

Pang Zhiyuan's old eyes on the side were moist, since that time twenty-five years ago, the father and son were strangers, and with this grip, the old man's heart knot could finally be untied.

Nalan Wenruo showed a smile of relief, "Zhenbang, am I wrong?"

"No, you have worked hard for the Nalan family all your life, carrying the sky and the earth on your shoulders, and sheltering each of us with a pair of arms, you are for the good of the Nalan family, for the good of the children and grandchildren of the Nalan family."

"Hey", Nalan Wenruo sighed, "Yes, why don't you do it for the good of Nalan family, our starting point is not different, the difference lies in the way and method."

Nalan Zhenbang has mixed feelings, for his father, he respects and loves him emotionally, but he is against the same in practical actions, he has been away from the Nalan family for more than 20 years, and has never shared a little sorrow for his father.

"Zhenbang, I expelled you from the family power circle, and I ignored you for more than 20 years, do you hate me?"

Nalan Zhenbang raised his head, his father's eyes were filled with a hint of worry and hope, "Father, I have never hated you."

Nalan Wenruo had a smile on his face, "That's good, that's good."

"Zhenbang, you have a pure nature, a gentle personality, an elegant bearing, and you are most like a person, in fact, where is our Nalan family a simple person. Simple people have long been eaten clean by this world. After Zhenshan took over the family, I have been trying to live a life of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the east fence, I thought that I could finally pursue the spirit of a real person, but it took me a full twenty years to find out that it was just a flower in the mirror, and the people of the Nalan family couldn't be a person after all."

"Father,

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you should let go".

Nalan Wenruo smiled faintly, "Almost every Chinese person has said this sentence of yours, your grandfather said it to your grandfather, I also said it to your grandfather, one day Ziran will also give you this sentence as it is, I believe that all the children in the world have said it to their parents, but just like children and grandchildren do not listen to their elders, which old man listens to the words of his children and grandchildren." We Chinese people will not stop nagging until we have taken our last breath, this is the tradition."

"Father, I understand your worries, and I will do my best to protect the Nalan family."

Nalan Wenruo nodded with satisfaction, "I know that my family boss knows the most."

Seeing that Nalan Wenruo's face was pale and short of breath, Nalan Zhenbang couldn't bear it, "Father, don't talk about it, rest for a while."

Nalan Wenruo waved his hand and continued, "You dare to reform the old and make the new in your generation, and the next generation has Zijian who dares to break the shackles, you are all good descendants of the Nalan family." Maybe in your eyes I am an old stubborn, but in fact I just know more deeply and think more carefully, Zhenbang, the ship is difficult to turn around, the creation of a big family takes several generations, but the collapse is only overnight. We have fallen too deep, to the point where we have both prosperity and loss, and to reform their lives is to reform our own lives. Lu Shanmin is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, we are different."

Nalan Zhenbang bowed his head and was silent, he didn't understand these truths, but as Nalan Wenruo said, he was more like a person in his bones, and the mutual exchange of heavenly justice and family interests had tormented him for decades.

"I'm afraid Zijian won't be able to listen to these truths."

At the mention of Nalan Zijian, Nalan Wenruo had an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"You are the same, you are kind and filial, even if you don't agree with me, you have never done anything out of the ordinary. Zijian not only has hills and ravines in his chest, but also swords. His sword is only obeyed by his heart, without scruples and no bottom line, as soon as I leave, he will be a tiger out of the cage, and no one can restrain him."

"Father, Zijian also has a heart that works hard for the Nalan family."

Nalan Wenruo let out a long sigh, "This is what I'm most worried about, if only he were really a swinger." ”

"Zhenbang, I remember that Zijian was most afraid of you when he was a child, as long as your face changed slightly, he knew how to converge. He is closest to you, and his relationship is much deeper than that of his father, and he has listened to you the most since he was a child, and you will have to watch him more in the future."

"Father" saw the begging in Nalan Wenruo's eyes, and Nalan Zhenbang swallowed the words back into his mouth.

"Zhenbang, I know that I shouldn't kidnap you with moral righteousness, but for the sake of my father's death, you bothered a lot."

Nalan Zhenbang gritted his teeth and nodded, "My son will do his best."

In the hall, everyone looked at the door on the second floor, Nalan Zijian was no exception, he had always been hippie and smiling, he was quiet and silent at the moment, he had a lot to say to his grandfather, such as those family joys when he was a child, such as his current mood, such as the future of the Nalan family, such as he really wanted him to live for another hundred years.

Nalan Ziying glanced at Nalan Zijian lightly, his eyes were cold and bland, he didn't expect that this naughty younger brother who was naughty when he was a child would grow up to become the biggest stumbling block in his life, and he didn't expect that because of his existence, cracks had begun to appear under the surface harmony of the Nalan family. He has a good hope for power, but he also clearly knows that the premise of the existence of all power is the strength of the Nalan family, and this younger brother has no bottom line for power.

Nalan Ziran Yuguang has been looking at Nalan Zijian, compared to Nalan Ziying, he is now more concerned about Nalan Zijian, although he thinks that he is only a high eight dou and does not lose to this third brother, but every time he sees him with his own eyes, there is always an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He is too deep, whether it is laughing and scolding, or being quiet and indifferent at the moment, always calm and calm, with a dashing confidence all over his body, looking at him for so long, but he has not looked at him at all, this is a strong self-confidence or a kind of disdain to look at him at all, no matter which one it is, it has deeply hurt his self-esteem.

Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Zhenhai both had sadness on their faces, but Nalan Zhenshan was worried in sadness, and the time when the old man left was too unlucky. Ziran's foundation is still shallow, Zijian is sharp, and a price war in the East China Sea not only excluded Ziying from the list of heirs, but his prestige as the chairman has also been greatly shaken, and now I think about it, all this is Nalan Zijian's plan. One move pushes the boat down the river, and one move is eliminated with one move, creating such a situation silently. Although there is the old man's will, he is also confident that he will stabilize the situation, but he believes that Nalan Zijian's plan is so far-reaching and he will never give up like this, no matter what he has

move, it will be a great blow to the Nalan family. The Nalan family began to be brilliant in the hands of the old man, and gradually grew in his hands, and the Nalan family was not only the old man's lifelong effort, but also his lifelong hard work.

Compared with Nalan Zhenshan, Nalan Zhenhai's sadness is with a strong sense of resentment, thinking that the eldest brother Nalan Zhenbang inherited the position of the head of the family, he has nothing to say, after all, the boss is convinced in terms of ability and prestige, when the boss was kicked out of the circle of power, he thought that he could be on the throne, but he didn't expect to let Nalan Zhenshan sit in the position, he was not convinced. Whether it is in terms of ability or the power of his mother's family, he thinks that he is the best candidate. In those years, he has been depressed, until his son's talent gradually revealed, he came out of the shadows, so many years, Zijian is undoubtedly the most talented in the Nalan family, and undoubtedly the old man's favorite grandson, I thought that what I lost, my son would get it back for him sooner or later, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was still a failure. In his opinion, Nalan Ziran is too much worse than his son in every aspect, why can he be on the throne.

The door on the second floor opened, Nalan Zhenbang walked out, everyone's eyes were collectively on him, Nalan Zhenbang's steps were still heavy, with a faint tear on his face, and he slowly walked into the hall and sat on the sofa.

"Second brother, third brother, father asked you to go up."

Nalan Zhenshan and Nalan Zhenhai got up and walked towards the second floor.

Nalan Ziran hurriedly asked, "Dad, how is grandpa?"

Nalan Zhenbang looked at his son's anxious and panicked eyes, and there was more content in his eyes than concern. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, how could he not know Nalan Ziran's ambition, this son who is ostensibly dedicated to reading sages and doing learning, has a greater desire for power than anyone else, this is a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that the Nalan family needs such a person, and the disadvantage is that if the ability does not match the ambition, he will fall into the endless abyss. Nalan Ziran was still immersed in the victory, maybe he was ready to deal with everything next, but he didn't realize enough of what he would face next. He knows his son too well, and he knows Nalan Zijian too well.

"Stay for a while and talk to grandpa."

Nalan Ziran left tears, whether they were sad tears or excited tears, no one knew, maybe even he didn't know.

After a few minutes, Nalan Zhenhai walked out of the room, with a thick anger on his face, sat on the sofa, and said coldly, "Ziran, Ziying, the old man let you go up."

Nalan Zhenbang half-squinted his eyes, "Zhenhai, the voice is smaller."

Nalan Zhenhai's chest rose and fell, and his stomach burned like a fire.

"Big brother, why, why should I resign from everything in the family."

The rest of the family was also stunned for a moment, some of them didn't know some things, and they were also unusually surprised by Nalan Zhenhai's words.

Nalan Zhenbang said lightly: "The old man has his own ideas."

"His idea is to clear the way for Ziran to inherit the position of head of the family, I am his son, his own son, has he thought about my feelings, how will I gain a foothold at home in the future, in his eyes, I am a person with a small amount of energy and does not care about the overall situation."

Nalan Zhenbang wanted to say that you were originally a person who didn't care about the overall situation, but he didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Nalan Zijian. His eyes kept staring at the door on the second floor, whether it was others looking at him or his father yelling, he didn't move his gaze at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

The hall was quiet again, time passed minute by minute, and after more than ten minutes, there was a sad cry from the second floor, the door opened, and Pang Zhiyuan walked out, with a sad face, "The old man is gone, come in and take a last look."

The sobbing of the women in the partial hearing turned into loud crying, and the men in the main hall slowly got up. The starting 33

Everyone walked up the stairs with grief and solemnity and entered the room, only Nalan Zijian sat alone in the hall.

After everyone left, Nalan Zijian slowly got up and knelt down towards the room on the second floor, tears flowing down his eyes, ticking down his cheeks and hitting the floor, splashing with water.

"Grandpa, grandson is not filial"
