With this sudden voice, several people at the door were stunned, but as Tang Yu and Tang Lin, who were very ambitious to fight for the inheritance, of course they heard the identity of the voice for the first time.

Tang Yu first said: "Uncle is very sorry, I didn't help you guard the door and disturbed your ancestor worship activities in the ancestral hall." ”

Tang Lin also followed: "Uncle, it's all my fault, I didn't properly handle the conflict with Tang Yu's cousin in your way, and as a result, I also disturbed your ancestor worship." ”

When their words were finished, several old people walked out of the ancestral hall, but it was not the same as imagined, these old people were not full of gray hair, but still black hair, but the hair color was already a little white, but at most the temples were white, thinking that it would be because of the reasonable diet and nutrition matching, coupled with the result of self-cultivation in the ancestral hall.

Seeing these old people, Zhou Ming and Tang Lin both remembered Tang Lin's introduction along the way, and thought that these people were the elders of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall will be said to be a very special existence of the Tang family, because the family originally stipulated the age of the heir, people who are over the age can not inherit the family property, this is to ensure that the family is forever young, but also to be vigilant against which vein monopolizes a certain industry, so that the entire family industry has the opportunity to inject fresh blood and not decay.

However, other elders who failed to inherit the family could only enter the ancestral hall clan association to act as a supervisor and guide to the family. To put it simply, it is to look at the various estates of the family in ordinary times, and when the patriarch makes a wrong decision or does something wrong, he can use his power to correct things, or even abolish the patriarch, and when the patriarch dies suddenly and fails to appoint an heir, the ancestral clan will come out to preside over the election of a new heir.

It is these powers that it can be said that this ancestral clan will be the last guarantee of the Tang family!

"What you said at the door just now, a few of our old guys have already heard it inside, it seems that in the matter of inheritance, our Tang family will not have no successor!"

The old man made a joke, and then he looked Tang Ran up and down a few times and asked, "You are the daughter Tang Ran that Jing Rong left in China for 20 years?"

Faced with this question, Tang Ran looked at him with some doubts, and did not speak for the first time, at this time Tang Lin explained to him very anxiously: "This is Uncle Tang Jingsheng Tang, he is the highest elder among all the people in our Tang family now, and he is also the head of the ancestral hall clan association, not only all matters related to the ancestral hall sacrifice are under his control, but even when the family patriarch dies suddenly, he will also do the matter of finding and appointing an heir." ”

Listening to this explanation, Tang Ran nodded suddenly and then said to Tang Jingsheng: "Hello Uncle Tang, although I never knew about my biological father, I know that my name is Tang Ran, and I have been called Tang Ran since I can remember." ”

Tang Lin also followed after Tang Ran's self-introduction: "Uncle Tang, Tang Ran's cousin knows that he has never been to San Francisco, so he made a special trip to say hello to you on the first day of coming today......

Tang Jingsheng stretched out his hand to stop Tang Lin's next words: "There is no need to say hello or anything, our Tang family doesn't care about those false courtesies." ”

After speaking, he said to Tang Ran: "Tang Lin has called me, I already know about you, after DNA identification, I can be completely sure that you are Jing Rong's daughter, I welcome you back to inherit the family business, you are the only direct descendant of Jing Rong, you are the first heir of the Tang family, and you are the most qualified, but in our Tang family, there has never been a ranking that can explain everything, if you want to really get the inheritance, you must tell us that you have this ability." ”

"But how can I tell you that we have this ability? We can't tell you now, right?" Zhou Ming interjected at this time.

Regarding Zhou Ming's question, Tang Jingsheng was stunned at first, he looked Zhou Ming up and down carefully, and said very politely: "I'm sorry I don't know you, originally you don't have any qualifications to talk to me, but since you are helping Tang Ran speak, I might as well tell you, I won't say it, because if you can't even guess this, then I don't think you need to fight for inheritance anymore." ”

After speaking, Tang Jingsheng didn't care about anything else, and left the ancestral hall directly, leaving only Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Yu and Tang Lin.

Tang Yu looked at Zhou Ming and said a word of shame, then stood up and asked Tang Ran: "Are you sure you don't marry me?" You are the first and I am the second, as long as the two of us can be combined, no one can threaten this inheritance, and that guy can only bring you endless shame." ”

"I don't allow you to say that about Brother Ming!" to Tang Yu's insult, Tang Ran immediately stopped and said loudly, "Let me tell you, Brother Ming is the most powerful person in the world, and he is many times more powerful than you who is so neurotic!"

Tang Yu said very regretfully: "I really feel sorry for you, because that guy is an idiot at all, but it doesn't matter, the family dinner meeting that will be held soon, I think you will be able to see the true face of that idiot, and when we get married again, we can also get the inheritance, so please believe me, I will tolerate you and forgive your mistakes, and you will change your mind and be willing to marry me." ”

Tang Yu pointed at Tang Ran and left the ancestral hall after speaking, looking at the back of him leaving, Tang Ran said inexplicably: "Brother Ming, is this person sick? I don't know him at all, so he came over to tell me about marriage or something, and it was still the same tone that I would definitely agree to him." ”

Zhou Ming smiled and took Tang Ran's little hand and said: "No way, these people are like this, they pretend to be too forced, they will forget that they are pretending to be b, and they will make jokes in the end." ”

Then Zhou Ming said to Tang Lin: "Since the elders of the ancestral hall have already left, there is no need for us to be here, let's go first." ”

Tang Lin had no opinion, and then they came to the old mansion of the Tang family, which was the real castle of the Tang family.

The dinner was held in the hall of the castle, and when Zhou Ming and the others arrived here, there were already a lot of people sitting here, of course, the situation here was the same as on the ship, everyone sat together according to their respective small groups, and people belonging to different groups almost did not have any intersection, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran didn't know anyone because they had just come here, so they could only sit at Tang Lin's table.

But this arrangement made Tang Ran very uncomfortable, and suddenly she patted her back, and Zhou Ming asked her curiously what was wrong.

Tang Ran replied embarrassedly: "The people around us are looking at us strangely, and it feels like I was being mischievoked behind my back." ”

Zhou Ming smiled, of course Zhou Ming had already noticed what Tang Ran said, and it could be said that almost from the moment they sat down, the whole audience was pointing at him and saying something.

"Of course no one is so boring, and if something may be pasted behind your back, I will tear him off as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about it at all, as for the current situation, just because we are the focus of the whole dinner, it is impossible not to be looked at or discussed, you don't forget that you are the first heir of the Tang family. Zhou Ming said.

"But now does the entire Tang family know about it? Didn't Tang Lin say that he betrayed us, what rubbish!" Tang Ran said angrily.

Regarding Tang Ran's speculation, Tang Lin innocently confessed that I didn't, Zhou Ming smiled and asked him to calm down a little: "I don't think this has anything to do with Mr. Tang Lin, because our affairs on the ship are too big, and these people can share any news for the inheritance of their respective bosses, so it is not surprising that everyone knows now." ”

Just as Zhou Ming and Tang Ran and Tang Lin were talking, they heard a sudden gasp of surprise around them.

This made Zhou Ming and Tang Lin feel a little strange, they turned their heads to look, and saw an old man coming to Zhou Ming's side with the support of a young girl: "It seems that you guys are quite lively here!"

One sentence shocked Tang Lin's heart, and he immediately stood up and said hello: "Hello Aunt Tang, hello Cousin Tang Yao." ”

With Tang Lin's words, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran immediately knew the identity of the person who came, according to the news that Tang Lin told them in advance, she was Tang Huiyin, one of the elders in the ancestral hall, she was Tang Ran's cousin, that is, she proposed in the last family meeting that there was Tang Ran, the first heir. And Tang Wan'er next to her is the fourth heir of the Tang family, and in addition to Tang Ran, she is another woman in the top ten.

It is this kind of identity that will surprise others so much, obviously in the current situation where everyone wants to inherit the Tang family, the sudden appearance of the first heir in line has made everyone very sensitive, and now the fourth also took the initiative to visit the first, so everyone can't help but think about it.

Could it be that Tang Ran was brought to San Francisco by Tang Huiyin and Tang Wan'er? In order to inherit more family property for them? But if this is the case, why did Tang Ran sit at the same table with Tang Lin? Or was Tang Ran brought by Tang Lin, Tang Huiyin did this to make Tang Lin suspect Tang Ran, or maybe the three of them had already put aside their prejudices for the sake of inheritance and wanted to fight together......

However, for Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, they didn't think so much, Zhou Ming just felt that since he knew their identities, he asked Tang Ran to get up first and say hello to Tang Lin.

Tang Huiyin looked Tang Ran up and down a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It is worthy of being the daughter of Jing Rong's cousin, she looks so similar to him, leaving you in the country for twenty years really made you suffer, but you don't blame your father, he came back alone to inherit the family property, I don't know how many people want to put him to death, and there are many other unavoidable hardships." ”

Tang Ran smiled and said, "Thank you very much Aunt Tang for telling me this, but in fact, I have a good life in China, and I don't blame my biological father." ”

Tang Huiyin raised her eyebrows and said, "That's fine, I know that you are here to inherit the family property this time, and you were also proposed by me in the last family meeting, so in principle, I still hope that you can inherit your father's position." ”

Tang Huiyin then said: "But I believe you have also seen that the current situation may not be so simple, so I won't be here more, lest others have any unnecessary fantasies, and I will accompany you to talk about your father again when I have time in the future." ”

After saying that, Tang Huiyin left, but Tang Wan'er did not leave immediately, but took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Tang Ran and said: "I'm very happy to see you cousin Tang Ran, I really didn't expect that there would be such a first-in-line heir as you in addition to me, this is incredible, but on the issue of inheritance, we have always been in a very weak position, so I hope we can have the opportunity to talk more in the future." ”

Leaving this sentence, Tang Wan'er also followed Tang Huiyin and left.
