Chapter 1051: Courtship (3)
Sitting in the position of the head of the family, Chen Hao's face was indifferent, his brows furrowed slightly, after Chen Xiaohuan's story, he also had enough understanding of the three clans of the Hidden Dragon, and now the Mi family suddenly came to propose, he must have felt that the situation was unfavorable and wanted to unite with the Chen family.
Therefore, Chen Hao does have a trace of motivation, after all, once he marries the Mi family, then it will become extremely easy for him to win the position of the hidden master, how can a Long family be able to hold the joint efforts of the two clans at a low level?
The reason why it is still difficult to make a decision is because of what the old man said when he left, whether to marry or not, he still needs to ask Chen Xiaohuan's own opinion.
Second, it is not impossible for the Mi family not to really want to unite with the Chen family, but to use the name of in-laws to paralyze the Chen family.
Once he makes a wrong decision, then Chen Hao will become the sinner of the Chen family, and more importantly, his own purpose will be completely shattered, so Chen Hao must be cautious and cautious, and there can be no mistakes.
At this time, the middle-aged man who was knocked away by Chen Hao had also eased up, walked to the center of the council hall with a painful body, and with a hint of gratitude, he clenched his fists and said, "Family Master, thank you for your mercy." ”
Saying such words is enough, he, like the rest of the stewards, has been completely convinced by Chen Hao, and he has no complaints about Chen Hao's succession as the head of the family.
I also completely understood in my heart why the old family master and the elders would choose to support Chen Hao.
Because, the Chen family has such a powerful family master, it is not difficult to set foot on the glory again, and it will even be more brilliant than when it was brilliant, and this time the battle will undoubtedly be won.
"Stand down, we'll discuss something later," Chen Hao waved his hand lightly and said indifferently.
The people of the Mi family are about to come, and Chen Hao is not willing to discuss the future direction of the Chen family with many stewards at this time.
"Yes, head of the house," the middle-aged man replied respectfully, and then sat back in his place.
Suddenly, the council hall became extremely quiet, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Mi family.
At the same time, more than a dozen middle-aged men also fell into contemplation, thinking about what the Chen family could get after marrying the Mi family, although the Chen family now has the existence of Chen Hao, there is no need to rely on Chen Xiaohuan to win over the Mi family.
However, the strength of the Mi family is not low after all, and if they are enemies, once they are desperate in the end, the Chen family will pay an extremely heavy price if they want to solve the trouble of the Mi family.
However, remembering what the old master said when he left, they didn't dare to make up their minds easily.
In the end, it was decided to hand over this problem to the new head of the family.
First, you can also test the ability of this new family master, whether you can lead Chen Hao to glory, and secondly, you can also test the true purpose of the Mi family, the Mi family, which can be ranked with the Chen family of the three clans of the Hidden Dragon, how can it be easy to compromise?
They know this very well in their hearts.
As a slight sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, from far and near, it continued to come in, and the eyes of more than a dozen middle-aged men also looked at the outside of the conference hall at the same time.
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth outlined a sneer, and he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Soon, the young man walked in front and walked in with two men, looking at Chen Hao, who was sitting in the position of the head of the family, his face was slightly stunned, but when he saw that more than ten stewards did not move, he immediately reacted, knelt down on one knee and said: "The head of the house, according to your order, the guest has been brought." ”
"You go down first," Chen Hao nodded indifferently and waved his hand.
"Yes," the young man replied in a deep voice, then got up and slowly exited the council chamber.
"Brother Chao, we're meeting again," Chen Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the young man standing in the conference hall.
"Hey," Mi Chao sighed slightly, looking at the situation in front of him, why didn't he understand, his face was slightly ugly, and he said helplessly: "I didn't expect that the waste man who was abandoned back then has now become the head of one of the three clans of the Hidden Dragon, which is really emotional." ”
Back then, Mi Chao was already the young head of the Hidden Dragon Mi family, and sooner or later he would become the head of the family, and he even had a great deal of confidence that he would become the hidden master who controlled the Hidden Dragon, but what about Chen Hao? At that time, he was just a college student in distress.
With such a big change, who would believe it if they are not jealous and hateful?
However, this is the case, and Mi Chao is not allowed to resist, because it is not his turn to call the shots in the affairs of the Chen family.
"Hehe, time has passed, when you look at each other, no matter how emotionally you are, you can't change the facts in front of you," Chen Hao seemed to be reminiscing, he didn't care about the sarcasm in Mi Chao's words, looked indifferently at the middle-aged man beside Mi Chao, and asked, "Presumably this is my uncle, right?"
"I just don't know what is important for you to come?"
"He is the new head of the Chen family?" For Chen Hao, the middle-aged man looked disdainful, turned his head to look at the rest of the dozen or so stewards, and asked in a cold voice: "He can also call the shots in all the affairs of the Chen family?"
The conversation just now already made the middle-aged man faintly feel a little uneasy.
If he is still his old rival, today's proposal may still be successful, but suddenly he is replaced by a young man he doesn't know, and it seems that he still has a certain contradiction with his son.
In this case, how can it be so easy to agree?
That's why I asked like this, after all, I only arrived at the Chen family yesterday, and I have succeeded to the position of head of the family in such a short time, it must be difficult to convince the rest of the Chen family, and I may not be able to make full decisions.
"Of course, all the affairs of the Chen family are decided by the head of the family," the middle-aged man who was knocked away by Chen Hao replied with a hint of indifference and a little pride.
A few years ago, because the Chen family did not have a suitable heir, they had been suppressed by the Mi family and the Long family, and they had long been angry in their hearts.
Between the words, naturally there will be no more scruples like before.
The most important thing is that, judging from the current situation, the Mi family has already had a trace of compromise in it when they come to propose, which also indirectly proves that Chen Hao has great benefits in succeeding the head of the family.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and his eyes swept over the other stewards one by one, but without exception, there was no movement.
The middle-aged man suddenly understood in his heart that what the other party said was true, the power of the Chen family had been handed over to the new head of the family in front of him, and the rest of the Chen family would not disobey it in the slightest.
Therefore, his face straightened slightly, raised his head to look at Chen Hao, and said, "Since the affairs of the Chen family are already in charge of you, then I will discuss it with you." ”
"Master Mi, if there is anything, please speak up," Chen Hao's mouth outlined a trace of an indifferent smile, waved his hand and said.
"This time, I came here to propose marriage for Xiaochao, hoping to marry the Chen family," the middle-aged man said frankly with a very serious face.
Since it has been decided to do so, although the head of the family has changed, but he has come to the Chen family, there is no possibility of retreating, no matter what the final result is, he must always put things on the table and say it.
"Want to marry my sister?" Although he already knew that it was definitely Chen Xiaohuan, Chen Hao still asked, because now is not the time to completely tear his face with the Mi family.
Otherwise, if the Mi family and the Long family sincerely join forces, it will be extremely unfavorable to Chen Hao's calculations.
Although the Chen family is the strongest among the three clans of the Hidden Dragon, the Mi family and the Long family can become one of the three clans of the Hidden Dragon, how can their strength be poor, even if they are not as good as the Chen family, they will definitely not be too far apart.
Over the years, the reason why he has only secretly suppressed the Chen family is also because of the existence of the hidden master.
Otherwise, the Chen family would have been wiped out by the two clans long ago.
Once the face is completely torn with the Mi family now, then the alliance between the Mi family and the Long family will be more solid, and Chen Hao will definitely not be negligent in this point.
Even if you don't agree to get married, you will definitely find an excuse to make the Mi family think that the Chen family is not ready to completely tear your face with the Mi family, and it is not too late to settle accounts with the Mi family after they really sit in the position of the hidden master.
"Chen Xiaohuan. ”
The middle-aged brows furrowed deeply, how could he not know that Chen Hao was asking knowingly, but now that he had to ask for the consent of the other party, he could only suppress the anger in his heart temporarily.
Because, the Mi family is not ready to completely tear their faces with the Chen family.
The Long family, although they are allies, is not a few of them fighting with each other.
"Master Mi, this ...... I'm afraid I can't easily promise you," Chen Hao's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he hesitated and said: "If it were other sisters, I would be able to promise you, but Xiao Huan is different, I can't be her master." ”
"However, I also promise you here, as long as you can obtain Xiaohuan's consent, I will not stop you. ”
"Isn't Chen Xiaohuan a child of the Chen family?" The middle-aged man understood, and his face became extremely unhappy.
"Yes, but she is very assertive," Chen Hao nodded slightly, and said with a little helplessness: "And she is not only my sister, but also my benefactor, without her, I would not be able to sit in my current position." ”
Therefore, before I went back to Chen's house with her, I had already made a promise that her marriage would be decided by herself and would not be forced. ”
"Manly man, words should count. ”
"Therefore, I will not self-destruct my promise, or the same sentence, as long as Brother Chao can obtain Xiao Huan's consent, I will not stop it. ”
"Since that's the case, then I won't force it, so I'll leave," the middle-aged man's face was extremely gloomy, with a trace of unkindness, he looked at Chen Hao and said, then turned around directly and walked outside.
"Father......" Mi Chao's eyes were also full of unwillingness, he didn't expect Chen Hao to refuse, and his father gave up so easily, and immediately shouted.
"If you don't come with me, do you still want to stay here and continue to be embarrassed?" The middle-aged footsteps did not stop at all, and disappeared outside the conference hall.
"Hmph. ”
Mi Chao had a gloomy face, glared at Chen Hao, and then followed closely.
Now that his father has given up, what can he do?
