"The old man's funeral can't be done, and the matter of the second brother's succession as the patriarch will naturally be put on hold. Hang Tianxiong slowly analyzed: "Behind this chain reaction, who is the biggest beneficiary of the old man's disappearance?"

Ma Lie asked tentatively, "Who does Fifth Master Hang think?" ”

Hang Tianxiong shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's not me!" ”

Ma Lie smiled: "Well, the biggest beneficiary of the old man's disappearance is not Fifth Master Hang, and it is not me, an outsider to the Hang family!" ”

Hang Tianxiong said in a deep voice: "This matter is getting more and more complicated. ”

Ma Lie sighed: "It's very complicated. ”

"Fifth uncle, it's so late, between the two of you men...... What else is there to talk about? Hang Xuezhen went back and changed into a loose pink dress, regained a charming and charming temperament, and walked in slowly from the back hall with a calm complexion.

Hang Tianxiong smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a casual chat!" ”

Ma Lie stood up and arched his hand: "There's really nothing to talk about, I should go back and rest!" ”

Hang Tianxiong waved his hand and said politely: "Please!" ”

"Fifth uncle, see you tomorrow!" Hang Xuezhen greeted and walked out of the hall with Ma Lie, walking towards the staircase. Hang Tianxiong looked at the two who left fixedly, and smiled coldly: "Hehe, see when you have to sè?" ”

Uncle Xu followed behind them, and when he saw that no one was coming, he asked with trepidation: "Miss, Ma Lie, are you all okay?" ”

Hang Xuezhen replied in a deep voice: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later!" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, then said no more, and tacitly returned to the house that Hang Xuezhen arranged for Ma Lie.

Hang Xuezhen and Ma Lie entered the room first, turned around and signaled to Uncle Xu behind him, and closed the door tightly.

The two of them went to a row of sofas in the hall and sat down.

Hang Xuezhen's expression suddenly became gloomy and anxious, and she whispered: "Ma Lie, they all know about my grandfather's disappearance!" ”

Ma Lie nodded and said, "Well, your fifth uncle also told me just now, I talked to him a few words, thinking that this matter must be done by someone inside the Hang family, and besides, the chances of your grandfather still alive are ......"

Hang Xue was heartbroken, and said sadly: "Ma Lie, tell me quickly, grandpa is still alive, he is still alive." ”

Ma Lie put his hands on her shoulders and comforted, "Xue Zhen, don't be too sad. Your grandfather once mentioned to me that the current chaotic situation of the Hang family was completely caused by him, and he should not be so partial, let alone take too much care of you. ”

"The only reason he wants to live is to pave a way for the Hang family and for you. For this, he lived a very tired and miserable life. His death may not be a relief for him. ”

"Why didn't he tell me?"

"Because, he's your grandfather!"

"Ma Lie ......" Hang Xue really stretched out her jade white palm movingly, stroked his cheek, and said stupidly: "I still haven't told you one more thing......

"What's the matter?" Ma Lie looked at her beautiful face quietly, and his eyes radiated continuous love.

Seeing the ambiguity between the two of them, Uncle Xu, who had something to say to them, smiled helplessly, silently withdrew from the room, and consciously stood at the door.

"Actually, on the dinghy, I deceived you!"

"I believe you didn't mean to deceive me!"

"Yes, grandpa told me a secret about the Hang family for a long time, and I didn't dare to tell you in order to abide by the ancestral precepts of the family......"

"Then you must not sue me!" Ma Lie felt that the situation was serious, and strictly admonished: "I'm not from your Hang family, don't say it, I don't want to hear it." ”

Hang Xuezhen hesitated: "But, you are my friend, shouldn't friends treat each other with sincerity?" ”

Ma Lie smiled helplessly and said: "Friends should treat each other with sincerity, but the legacy of hundreds of years passed down from family to family is not an excuse to make friends!" ”

Hang Xue really said: "Yes, but there is one exception." ”

"What exceptions."

Hang Xue really looked at him expectantly, and said softly: "If you are a member of the Hang family, for example, if you join my Hang family......"

Ma Lie knew what she wanted to say, and interrupted: "Xue Zhen, the timing is not right yet, let's not mention these first, okay?" ”

Hang Xue was really unhappy, and asked, "Don't you want to?" ”

Ma Lie scratched his head embarrassedly: "I think about it, I'm afraid of you...... Well, you don't want to. ”

"I want ......" Hang Xuezhen blurted out without any hesitation. Ma Lie's old face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "Xue Zhen, it seems a bit direct, but there is a nonsense I still want to ask you, well, what do you like about me?" ”

"I ......" Hang Xuezhen's face also turned red, and she subconsciously lowered her head and said softly: "I think you are very special." ”

Ma Lie suddenly said: "Well, it's for this reason that you... What's that? ”

"What else could be the reason?"

Hang Xuezhen closed her beautiful eyes and said with emotion: "All along, most of the men who appeared beside me were flattering and flattering to me, and none of them treated me sincerely, what they valued was nothing more than my identity as the eldest lady of the Hang family, and you ......"

Hearing this, Ma Lie consciously straightened up his waist and said, "Actually, I am also a normal person, I also like money, I like beautiful women, and I like Xue Zhenyou......"

Hang Xuezhen interrupted: "You treat me sincerely, I feel it!" ”

"Of course, I'm never hypocritical!" After Ma Lie finished speaking righteously, he added inexplicably in his heart: As long as she is a beauty, I treat her sincerely, not to mention, a beauty like Miss Hang, who is alluring to the country and the city, if you look at it more, your soul will be seduced away, where can you still think of other women.

"Ma Lie, you must help me this time!"

"Of course, I've been helping you, even if it's at the cost of my life!"

Hang Xue was really moved and said firmly: "If you can help me get through this difficulty, I will definitely get engaged to you, and then announce to the world that you are my Hang Xue Zhen's fiancé." ”

"Well, don't announce it to the whole world." Ma Lie said with a smile: "I like to keep a low profile. ”

"Depending on you, I don't like to be too high-profile!" Hang Xue really smiled happily, and suddenly remembered tomorrow's family meeting, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, and said worriedly: "Ma Lie, we can't find grandpa, the funeral can't be done, and even my father's patriarch succession has been forced to be canceled." ”

"Moreover, the life and death of the grandfather are uncertain, and the affairs of the family cannot be delayed, and a new person in charge of the family must be chosen. Tomorrow's family meeting, they are very likely to engage in a shareholding system. With my father's ability, without the additional weight of the patriarch, I am afraid that he will not be able to take any benefits. ”

"Share system?"

Ma Lie asked curiously: "Even if your father is not the patriarch, he is the only heir of the family, and it stands to reason that he should occupy a certain amount of shares." ”

Hang Xue really frowned and said: "That also depends on the support of other uncles and brothers in the family, my father's relationship with them is unfamiliar, and he can't be compared with the fifth uncle at all." ”

"So?" Ma Lie thought for a while and analyzed: "The idea of this joint-stock system must have been proposed by your fifth uncle." ”

Hang Xue Zhen said: "Well, several other uncles also agreed. ”

Ma Lie frowned and said, "According to the current situation of the Hang family, your fifth uncle is the strongest, there shouldn't be any doubt about this, right?" ”

Hang Xue said sadly: "Well, in the past few years, my grandfather has been sick in bed for a long time, and he doesn't have much energy to take charge of the family's business. My father nominally took over from my grandfather in the family business. But in fact, my father had no ability to take charge of the family at all, so in order for the family to continue to function normally, he had to hand over the power in his hands to the fifth uncle to take care of. ”

"In the past few years, the fifth uncle has been conscientious and methodical in managing the family's affairs properly, which has raised the family's performance to a higher level, which directly proves his personal ability and has been supported by many family children."

"It's just that, under such circumstances, grandpa still insists on passing on the position of the head of the Hang family to my father."

"Xue Zhen, there is a sentence you may not like to hear, but I still want to sue you." Ma Lie said with emotion: "Don't look at your grandfather who takes good care of your father and daughter, in fact, he is harming your father and daughter." ”

Hang Xue really asked stupidly: "Why?" ”

Ma Lie sighed: "The human heart is the most difficult thing to reconcile and figure out, and your grandfather's old-fashioned concept, which exacerbates the contradictions between the families. After your father and daughter lost the protection of the old man, those uncles and brothers of yours will take revenge on you for the injustices they suffered before, and now, the old man is missing, you should feel it, right? ”

Hang Xue Zhen said: "Well, I already feel it, when each of them saw me, their eyes changed, they became very strange, very scary, I never thought they would be such people." ”

Ma Lie said calmly: "Xue Zhen, I am still an outsider, and now you and your father's modest strength is not enough to shake your fifth uncle's strong position in the family. If we don't take special measures, tomorrow's family meeting will be a time when your father and daughter will completely lose power. ”

Hang Xue was really surprised and said, "Ma Lie, you must have a way, right?" ”

Ma Lie nodded and said, "Well, actually, your father and daughter also have an obvious advantage, that is, the inheritance of your family. No matter how strong Hang Tianxiong's personal charm is and how strong his strength is, he can't pull all the children of the family inside and outside the Hang family castle, after all, in front of interests, there are also some people who don't want to see your fifth uncle Hang grow alone. ”

"For today's plan, we can only use the power of others to suppress one, support one, and achieve a balanced effect, there is no strong person in the family, and your father and daughter can win a certain status."

Hang Xue really looked at him expectantly and asked, "What are you going to do, I'll listen to you!" ”
