Chapter 481: Finale (1)
And then apart from this trick, there is simply no other way to think of it. With these old bones, can they fight Leng Yifan? Not to mention that they will rely on him to enjoy happiness in the future, at this time, they should prepare a generous gift, personally come to the door to apologize, and welcome him back to the cold house is the best policy!
It's just that these self-righteous elders didn't expect to come to the door with gifts and eat Zeng Xiaojin's closed-door soup!
The reasons are a bit ridiculous to say: first, her man is not at home, so it is inconvenient to let so many men into the door, and second, the place in her house is too small, even if she lets them in, there is no place to entertain them. Therefore, ask them to go back, as for the gifts, she doesn't dare to accept them at a woman's house, so ask them to bring them back.
The patriarch and the elders touched a soft nail, and they couldn't get angry, so they had to sit outside and wait for Leng Dashao to come back. But Leng's is just on the right track, and Leng Dashao's daily workload is very large, and it is common to work overtime until eight or nine o'clock. By the time he came back, the elders of the Leng family were already hungry!
Originally, they planned to go back to the patriarch's house to have some food, and then come and wait. But the patriarch was so full of anger that he could still eat, and the other elders had no choice but to starve with him!
When Leng Yifan came back, he put these old bones in, asked Zeng Xiaojin to bring some snacks to entertain them, and pretended to say a few words to her, Zeng Xiaojin explained with a surprised face that she didn't know that a few elders were sitting outside, and thought that they had already gone back.
The elders ate the snacks brought by Zeng Xiaojin, and they had to turn around and persuade Leng Yifan, saying that it was none of Zeng Xiaojin's business. Xiao Jin quietly exchanged glances with his man, these people are really self-inflicted!
As soon as the patriarch sat down, he couldn't help but express his intentions, some things are still early, and he is not willing to look at the face of a junior for a long time!
"I'm not the head of the Leng family anymore, how can I be embarrassed to live in the cold house? This gift, please bring it back to the elders, since Yifan doesn't have the right to live in the cold house, how can I return to the ancestral house?" Leng Yifan refused very bluntly.
"Who said that you are not the head of the Leng family? The head of the Leng family has been passed down from generation to generation, your father and ancestors have passed it into your hands, and you have run the Leng family group so well, who dares to say that you are not?"
The patriarch was extremely indignant at this time, and his performance that day when he accompanied Jin Lili to seal the cold mansion was completely different!
"What the patriarch means is that whoever can control the Leng clan's group is the head of the Leng clan, regardless of whether his surname is Leng or not, right?" Some words Leng Yifan is inconvenient to say in person, so as not to be too embarrassed, but Zeng Xiaojin has no scruples in this regard, she is already an "uninformed woman".
"How do you talk about this kid? Of course not!" the patriarch was obviously very embarrassed, this was the reason why Jin Lili forced them to seal the cold mansion in the first place.
In fact, the rules of the Leng family only say that the person who controls the Leng group is the head of the Leng family, and it is the responsibility of the head of the family, but it does not say that if the Leng group is lost, he is not worthy of being the head of the Leng family. It was all taken out of context by Jin Lili and said it with strong words, he really didn't expect Leng Yifan to leave the cold house so easily!
Even now he didn't understand the reason, didn't Leng Yifan have a treasure? Why didn't he directly snatch control with Jin Lili at that time, but let Jin Lili toss like that, which hurt his vitality, and now he doesn't even have a treasure!
The patriarch still thought that if the treasure was still there, he could still think of a little in the name of the clan, but now it was all in vain!
"But it was with this article that the patriarch took the position of the head of my family's Yifan at that time! Doesn't the patriarch need to make it clear in front of the whole clan? lest the people in the clan think that anyone can come and take the position of the head of the clan in the future!" Zeng Xiaojin said directly, and he didn't save the patriarch any face!
The patriarch was silent for a long time, and several other elders kept pleading and making eyes at him, and endured the calm for a while!
In the end, the patriarch gritted his teeth and said: "This matter has wronged Yifan, I naturally want to give you an explanation in front of the clansmen!"
Leng Yifan was unceremoniously, "Then thank you Patriarch! It's better to choose a day than to hit a day, it's better to just be tomorrow, it just so happens that I have a rare holiday tomorrow!"
Seeing that Leng Yifan was willing to calm things down, the elders hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, tomorrow is a good day, and it is very appropriate to do this." We are all a family, and we can't write two cold words in one stroke......"
Zeng Xiaojin was cold-eyed, don't say two cold words in one stroke, and can't even write a cold one, okay? These people are obviously faceless and skinless, but they want to learn from others to pretend to have a head and a face. I don't know if they were disgusted by themselves when they looked in the mirror!
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a basic negotiation, and the elders feel that they can go back to sleep and live a small life with peace of mind, and Leng Yifan doesn't want to look at them more, but just keeps the patriarch behind.
"What do you mean by that?" Although the patriarch reluctantly stayed alone, he was quite dissatisfied with Leng Yifan's move.
"I want to know what the patriarch will say to me tomorrow!" There were no superfluous people present, and Leng Yifan's question was so straightforward that people couldn't stand it.
The patriarch cleared his throat and glanced at Zeng Xiaojin, meaning that she should step back when the man spoke. In fact, he wanted to do that just now, but he just thought that Leng Yifan doted on this wife very much, so he wanted to save some face for him.
Zeng Xiaojin pretended not to understand, "Is the patriarch's voice uncomfortable?"
When the patriarch saw that Xiao Jin was so "stupid", he didn't bother to pay attention to her, but just asked Leng Yifan: "What kind of statement do you want?"
The corners of Leng Yifan's lips hooked slightly, as if he was smiling, "The elders just now said that they can't write two cold words in one stroke, I think it's the first time that the patriarch has done such a stupid thing, tomorrow you just have to resign as the patriarch, and I won't pursue it anymore!"
"What!?" the patriarch's eyes widened, almost angry, "You! you—"
Leng Yifan, you don't want to make an inch! I am also the patriarch of the Leng clan, and you junior dare to cut my position!
"Why did the patriarch go to the cold house with Jin Lili that day, I know it in my heart! If you want everyone in the clan to know about this and thus drive you out of power, I don't have any opinion!" Although Leng Yifan's voice was soft, every word he spit out was extremely weighty!
"I don't know what you're talking about!" the patriarch wanted to say it as if he had been wronged, but his voice betrayed him. Why should a person with a clear conscience have a trembling voice?
"This is my last chance for the patriarch, whether to cherish it or not, it's all up to the patriarch himself. Leng Yifan said that he would send off the guests.
However, the subtext is very clear, if the patriarch resigns by himself, he can still retain his last face, so that he will not be able to raise his head and be a man even if his children and grandchildren are affected. If he has to fight Leng Yifan to the end, then don't blame him for being rude!
When the patriarch walked out, he suddenly realized that Leng Yifan's thunderous methods and cold-blooded ruthlessness had been expelled from the Leng group, not to mention that he, the patriarch who had been separated by blood for many generations! He drove him out of the cold house and violated his bottom line, so after he rises now, he will be ousted from power!
One report and one report!
It's just that Leng Yifan, you can't help but be too ruthless! The successive patriarchs of the Leng family have voted for a new one at the end of their term of office, and which patriarch has abstained from voting during his term of office? Isn't this forcing him to a dead end?
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" After the patriarch left, Zeng Xiaojin heard Leng Yifan sigh vigorously, so he asked with concern: "Is it for the patriarch's business?"
Leng Yifan shook his head, "He won't, even if he doesn't become the patriarch, he can enjoy the Leng clan's offerings." He is reluctant to give up a comfortable life!"
"Then what are you sighing for?" Zeng Xiaojin suddenly thought of something, "You don't think he's old and soft-hearted, right? Don't be soft-hearted! If he remembers your slightest kindness, and remembers your gratuitous dedication to the Leng clan for so many years, he won't be cheeky to follow Jin Lili to the Leng Mansion to make such a scene!"
"I know......" Leng Yifan was reluctant to let his woman get angry for such a person, and was about to open his mouth to persuade her.
"You know-" Zeng Xiaojin was most afraid that Yifan would be too soft on the surname Leng's heart, so he eagerly continued-
"If you hadn't been in control of the overall situation this time and brought down Jin Lili, our family's fate would have been very miserable! If we were desperate to get to the door of the Leng family, they would definitely not recognize their relatives and drive us out without saying a word! You are still willing to save his face and protect the welfare of their family, and you are already merciful enough to him!"
"Yes, if he was forced to go to the cold house by Jin Lili at the beginning, it was a last resort, even if he sent a text message afterwards and called me to explain his hardships, I would give him another chance today!
This person has obviously reached the point where he can not distinguish between right and wrong, and can sacrifice all other interests in order to protect himself! Since he does not know the great interests of the Leng clan and only sees his personal selfish interests, then he is no longer worthy of staying in the position of the patriarch!
There are wise men in the clan who take care of the overall situation, and he should retire and rest!
Zeng Xiaojin did not attend the clan meeting the next day, because according to the rules of the Leng family, it was a place where only men in charge of the family were allowed.
But everything went well, the patriarch probably made that heavy decision after a night of suffering, and after he resigned, the elders with him as the core naturally couldn't raise their heads in a gloomy way, and since then they have withdrawn from the center stage of the Leng family.
Most of the people in the Leng family secretly applauded in their hearts, they all knew that this patriarch was not a good thing, he embezzled the property of the clan privately, and it was unfair to deal with things, but he couldn't get his handle and what to do with him, and now he stepped back. There is Leng Dashao to support everyone, so you have to choose a good patriarch to lead the whole clan to live a good life!
Leng Yifan's family finally returned to the cold house happily, and the old housekeeper and the servants were happy, and the lights were colorful, which was even more lively than the New Year.
It's just that they didn't expect that the first person to congratulate them on returning to the old mansion was Officer Zou, and brought them very bad news - Jin Lili was rescued!
