Watching Tang Wan'er and Tang Huiyin's departure, Tang Lin whispered to Zhou Ming and Tang Ran: "Just listen to what Tang Huiyin's cousin and cousin Wan'er say, don't take it too seriously." ”

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran were both surprised by Tang Lin's sudden words, and Tang Lin then explained: "I admit that Tang Ran's cousin's first heir in line was indeed proposed by her cousin at the last family meeting, but she only did this to ensure the inheritance of Cousin Wan'er, because at that time, among all the top-ranked heirs, there was only Cousin Wan'er's girl. Otherwise, if this is not the case, why did she never go to Tang Ran, cousin you, after proposing the first heir, I was the only one looking for. ”

Tang Lin thought about it again and said, "And I think it's not good for her to come to the door suddenly." ”

Regarding Tang Lin's words, Zhou Ming smiled and said to him: "Mr. Tang Lin, please rest assured, we have a sense of proportion in everything, and the most important thing is that we are still sitting next to you now, aren't we?"

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Tang Lin smiled, and then after a while, as Tang Jingsheng brought in all the elders of the ancestral hall, the official start of the family dinner was announced.

Unlike the general buffet banquet style of the Western upper class, the Tang family's dinner has a very strong Chinese style, and all the people attending the banquet do not have to stand up and walk around, just sit in their chairs, and there will be waiters in beautiful cheongsams, carrying plates to deliver dishes to each table.

Seeing that the dishes were almost served, Tang Jingsheng, as the head of the Tang family's ancestral hall and the most prestigious elder of the family now, stood up first and said: "Hello all the Tang clan relatives and other relatives, first of all, I am very glad that you can all arrive in Quan'an on time to attend this family dinner, and I also believe that you should all understand the purpose of this family dinner." ”

"More than half a month ago, my brother and former patriarch Tang Jingrong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in the hospital, which is the worst news for the Tang family!

Tang Jingsheng then said: "So since everyone has come here today, we must come up with an explanation, otherwise don't leave." ”

After speaking, Tang Jingsheng made a gesture, and the servants who had already prepared around closed the door one after another.

As the eight doors of the hall were closed at the same time, the hall immediately became as silent as death, and everyone watched all this in a daze, no one expected such a situation to happen suddenly.

Of course, the silence did not last long, and only a moment later there was an uproar in the hall, and many people shouted and shouted, as if they had suddenly suffered from claustrophobia: "Oh my God! Why are we all locked up here? Is this a conspiracy? Isn't it just to choose a new patriarch? Then lock up those heirs, why lock us up with us? Anyway, you can't choose us! I know, all the people here are the core members of the family, as long as we all are killed, the head of the clan can rightfully inherit the family property......"

However, not everyone was shouting nervously and worriedly, and many people remained calm, including Zhou Ming.

"Brother Ming, what do you say is going on today, why are you locking us all up, is that the head of the meeting really going to deal with us?" Tang Ran asked in a low voice.

In this regard, Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't know what's going on, but I don't think this head of the meeting will be so desperate, because this is not the chaotic era of the past, and there are so many people here, many of them are high-level figures of various enterprises, once something happens, it will bring immeasurable disasters, no matter how ruthless the head of the meeting is, he can't ignore it." ”

"As for the ...... we are here today," Zhou Ming continued, "I think it should be the competition of several heirs, and the others have ganged up with each other, and the way they eat is very ugly, so he really can't stand it." ”

Saying that, Zhou Ming turned his head and glanced at Tang Lin, Tang Lin smiled embarrassedly, and then Zhou Ming looked around the hall again, and then frowned.

Facing the noisy appearance below, Tang Jingsheng couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily: "Give me silence!"

With the prestige of the elders and the momentum that has been tempered for more than ten years, with Tang Jingsheng shouting, the hall gradually quieted down, and then Tang Jingsheng stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone while saying: "At the beginning, the family risked their lives to come from China to this place that was on the front line of the war at that time, and created a miracle, but look at what you look like now? You should ask yourself, are you all worthy of the surname Tang?"

After scolding loudly, Tang Jingsheng drank a few sips of water, and after gasping for a while, he continued: "A group of mud that can't support the wall, you all think about it!"

After Tang Jingsheng finished speaking, he sat down indignantly, and the hall was quiet again, everyone looked at each other, feeling that what Tang Jingsheng said was very reasonable, but they didn't know what to say at this time.

At this time, Tang Yu, the second heir in line to the throne, stood up and said: "I think Uncle Tang's words are very reasonable, no matter what, let Uncle Tang be so angry today, we juniors will always be to blame, so I think I should apologize to Uncle Tang and other elders on behalf of everyone, and also say thank you to them, if not for anything else, for their accommodation and care for us during this time." ”

Tang Yu bowed deeply to Tang Jingsheng as he spoke, Tang Jingsheng waved his hand to him, and Tang Yu then said: "The death of Uncle Jingrong is undoubtedly the greatest grief of our Tang family, but after all, the Tang family is going forward, so we must face the unavoidable problem of inheritance......

As soon as Tang Yu's words came to this, Tang Yi stood up and interrupted him: "Cousin Tang Yu's words are wrong, I never think that anyone will want to bypass the issue of inheritance, but the key to the problem is who will inherit, isn't it?"

"We have all studied Western history, and we all know that every time a king dies in the past, it will trigger a succession war, and even a serious multinational scuffle, our domestic feudal dynasty is not so direct, but the open and secret battles are also very fierce, as for our Tang family, although it is not as good as the royal family, but the wealth and power it has are enough to make anyone salivate......"

Before Tang Yi finished speaking, Tang Yu also interrupted him and said, "So you want to say that you should be the heir, right?"

Faced with Tang Yu's question, Tang Yi suddenly laughed out loud and said: "It seems that Cousin Tang Yu, you are really an idiot, maybe you should also accept your pretending to be B, because you finally failed today!"

After speaking, Tang Yi casually pointed in Tang Ran's direction and said: "Have you forgotten Tang Ran's cousin? She is the first heir in line to the throne of our Tang family, if our Tang family is a royal family, then she is the crown prince and the prince, so since she is here, will it be my turn to fight for any heir? Or in Tang Yu's cousin, you don't inherit the throne at all, you only think about your own inheritance?"

When Tang Yi's words fell, Tang Wan'er also echoed: "I very much agree with Tang Yi's cousin's words, and my mother has already made it clear at the last family meeting, the Tang family also has a first-in-line heir in exile in the country, and it is very selfish to talk about inheritance before this heir, so now that she has arrived in Quan'an, as long as her identity can be confirmed, then I think she should have the right to speak on the issue of inheritance!"

Tang Yu, Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er had already spoken, and at this time, everyone looked at Tang Lin, who inherited the fifth in the line.

Facing the eyes from all directions, Tang Lin glanced at Zhou Ming inquiringly, and Zhou Ming said to him with a smile: "Say whatever you want, don't worry about me, it's strange if you don't say anything at this time." ”

Tang Lin nodded and then stood up and said, "I know you all want to hear my thoughts, but I just want to say that I am probably the most unsuitable to speak at this time, because Cousin Tang Ran ...... That is, the first heir in line to the family, she is sitting next to me, and she is also found by me, and I also helped to complete the DNA identification of her and Uncle Jingrong, which means that her identity is beyond doubt. ”

Although many people already knew about Tang Ran's identity before this, now that Tang Lin has confirmed it again, it still makes the scene in an uproar.

For this reason, Tang Lin paused here before saying: "First of all, I can be sure that Cousin Tang Ran is the first heir we have been looking for, but as for the final inheritance, I think it should still be decided by the clan rules, and the clan will adjudicate it." ”

After speaking, Tang Lin sat down, and he said apologetically to Zhou Ming and Tang Ran: "I'm sorry, I think I can only say that." ”

Zhou Ming said with a smile: "What you said is great, in the current situation, we don't want to stand on the cusp." ”

But the reality seems to be against Zhou Ming, when Zhou Ming said this, the other heirs of the Tang clan stood up one after another to express their opinions, and they all agreed to recommend Tang Ran, the first heir.

After listening to a lot of speeches in the same way, Tang Jingsheng raised his hand to stop the juniors from speaking casually, and he turned to Tang Ran and said, "Since everyone admires you so much, please come out and say a few words on your own behalf." ”

Faced with Tang Jingsheng's sudden roll call, Tang Ran was taken aback, and she subconsciously grabbed Zhou Ming's sleeve and looked scared.

Zhou Ming patted her little hand and comforted her, "It's okay, since they all want to hear you, then you can tell them to listen." ”

"But I don't know what to say!" Tang Ran said.

"You can say whatever you want, as long as it's what you want to say, even if it's wrong, it's okay, I'm still here! Zhou Ming said.

Tang Ran relieved her heart at this time, she stood up cautiously and said: "Actually, I don't understand what you are talking about, I don't understand what the Tang family is, and I don't know what the order of succession is, I'm just an ordinary person living in China, I just came to San Francisco to relax, but I came here inexplicably, and said in this castle that I am the first heir of the Tang family." ”

At first, Tang Ran spoke very cautiously, but then she was very open, and then she spread her hands and said: "To be honest, I don't understand what you think at all, but since you say that I am the first heir of the Tang family, and that there is a large amount of property waiting for me to inherit, then I will say okay, since you can't convince anyone to rob and rob, just don't rob it, forget it for me, I will guarantee that these wealth will have a better future!"

With Tang Ran's words, there was silence in the hall at first, and then I don't know who took the lead first, and then everyone began to applaud along.

Faced with such a situation, Tang Jingsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered to himself: "Why do I seem so familiar with this scene? By the way, that is the scene of twenty years ago, Tang Ran's father and cousin Jingrong were like this, just a few words, he got everyone's applause, and they all said that the tiger father has no dog, although Tang Ran is a girl, but she is not allowed to shave her eyebrows!"

Tang Jingsheng was very emotional in his heart, but when he was about to say something, Tang Ran's next words surprised him again.

"Because I will give all the wealth I inherited to Brother Ming. Tang Ran said.
