Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven

Lan Ze was stunned for a moment and almost jumped up from the chair, turned around and called respectfully, "Dad, you're here...".

Lan Yuan also bowed and greeted him flatteringly, "Old man, you are here...".

Yan Dong looked at Senior Brother Zhang's appearance that was younger than Lan Ze and asked in a daze, "Brother Liang, you just said... Who is he? ”。

"Shut up!" Lan Ze glared at Yan Dong fiercely, talking nonsense in front of his father was looking for death.

Lan Yuan also followed the lesson, "Don't talk nonsense, get out of the way!" ”。

"Huh? "Yan Dong was scolded and had to show respect to Senior Brother Zhang with a smile, and then quickly stepped aside to hide himself and don't cause trouble, the people he saw here were much higher than him in terms of status and position, and they were all uncles who couldn't be provoked.

As soon as Lan Yun'er followed Lan Ruo into the door, she saw the flattering and funny expressions on Lan Ze and Lan Yuan's faces, and she couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, I heard that you don't have a big brother to cover you?" Why don't you go to him to support you? ”。

"How can he have the spare time to care about me..."Lan Ze secretly glanced at Senior Brother Zhang very dejectedly, and said to Lan Yun'er, "If you don't squeeze me, you're uncomfortable, aren't you?" Speak less...".

Lan Yun'er affirmed his lesson, and threatened unconvinced, "I'll go tell my dad that you bullied me, Young Master Ze, you just wait to be scolded...".

"Hey, grandma, I'm afraid of you, don't do it first..." Lan Ze just wanted to chase after her, but when Lan Yun'er turned around, she didn't pay attention to someone behind her, and she bumped into her without paying attention, and the person who was hit instinctively reacted and hugged her as soon as his arms were retracted.

Everyone could see that this was a misunderstanding, and Lan Ze hurried over to say a few words, "Hey! You... Loosen it... Young Master Nan...".

Lan Yun'er saw that she was being held, and as soon as she turned around, she was in a hurry to break free, and then she slapped her hand back, Cheng Nanmune's reaction didn't know how to hide, and she waited until the hot pain on her face before she let out an 'ah' sound, and took two steps back knowingly.

The guests invited to today's banquet are almost all here, and Lan Yun'er, who is lawless by nature, beat Cheng Nan in front of everyone, although she is still a child and can be forgiven, but Senior Brother Zhang's discordant tutor seems to be flattering.

"Yun'er, apologize! Young Master Nan, I'm sorry..."Lan Ruo quickly pulled his daughter behind him and explained to Cheng Nan.

Cheng Nan waved his hand and took the initiative to take responsibility, "It's all my fault, I didn't see Yun'er just now." I hit her, did it hurt? ”。

Leng Xuan never left Cheng Nan left and right to protect him, and he could see it clearly behind him, looking at Cheng Nan in confusion and shaking his head, "Brother Nan, your brain was broken?" ”。

"Oh... It's okay, let's go sit over there..."Cheng Nan was very humble and helped Leng Xuan move the chair again, and asked Young Master Xuan to sit down. Leng Xuan could only shake his head more helplessly, he was only responsible for Cheng Nan not to be killed or seriously injured, and being bullied by beautiful women was not within his scope of responsibility.

Lan Yun'er's gaze chased over and swept Cheng Nan's face, and when she saw Leng Xuan, she unconsciously smiled at him. Leng Xuan frowned, and then looked at Lan Tianxing lightly.

It's not that he misses the eldest young master of the Lan family very much, but because Lan Tianxing is the closest person to Chenmeng, seeing that he is refreshed and safe and sound, Chenmeng should also be fine, right?

Lan Tianxing was not in the mood to make his 'eldest son' happy at this time, but kept talking to Lan Ming and Lan Xin, Lan Ming sat opposite him and listened without reacting, Lan Xin listened to a few words and looked in the direction where Senior Brother Zhang was sitting, Senior Brother Zhang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled very implicitly, it seems that some kind of tacit understanding has been reached between them.

Leng Xuan joined the Lan family for a reason to follow Chenmeng's side, he was not interested in or cared about the intrigues and secret fights in the Lan family, he just wanted to follow Lan Tianxing to protect Chenmeng, as for whether Lan Tianxing was the eldest young master of the Lan family, it didn't matter.

And from his personal standpoint, he hoped that Lan Tianxing would be an idler who had nothing to do and was light, so that he could accompany his lover wholeheartedly, so he listened to a few words and went out of the banquet hall to the terrace to watch the scenery.

Lan Yun'er was stunned by Leng Xuan's indifferent expression, no one had ever dared to despise her like this since she was a child, and this Lan princess, who had always been spoiled, stopped him very unceremoniously when she saw Leng Xuan coming down from the terrace alone.

Last time Leng Xuan accompanied Cheng Nan to deliver the pearl flowers, Lan Yun'er unceremoniously poured a cup of tea on Leng Xuan, saying that she was a courtesy exchange and wanted to return him a cup.

Leng Xuan didn't say much about Lan Tianxing's face, besides, Yun'er was still a child, and for the sake of the stability and harmony of the Lan family, he could only endure it himself. But Young Master Xuan, who is arrogant by nature, does not have the good temper of Cheng Nan, and he is a little impatient to be stopped again at this time.

"You wait!" Lan Yun'er's very obvious provocative behavior was undisguised, "Don't think that with that woman supporting you, you can see no one." I'll ask Uncle Tianxing to kick you out of the Lan clan...".

Leng Xuan originally had an attitude of not causing trouble and trying to avoid it, so he just glanced at her lightly and ignored it directly. He thinks he's still a child who hasn't grown up, and he has no obligation to make other people's children happy, right?

"You stop! The surname is Leng..."Lan Yun'er came over and grabbed Leng Xuan's shoulder, she couldn't bear the feeling of being ignored.

Leng Xuan leaned against the wall and stepped back at the corner, Lan Yun'er was a little annoyed as soon as she grabbed the air, and kept following and slamming forward, the kind of stalking technique that her father, Senior Brother Zhang, used when he was young, she even learned it without a teacher.

In order to avoid being beaten like Cheng Nan, and to avoid Lan Yun'er crashing into his arms and causing misunderstandings, Leng Xuan could only continue to retreat.

But Lan Yun'er, who had just taken half a step back and couldn't close the momentum, slapped directly on the corner of the wall, Leng Xuan could only turn around and pull her collar and throw Lan Yun'er out, although it hurt to fall on the ground, it was better than hitting the wall and disfigurement.

"Ahh You're this... Bastard..."Lan Yun'er knew that Leng Xuan's skills were good, and she originally just wanted to create a chance for him to be a hero and save the beauty to show him goodwill. Who knew that Young Master Xuan, who didn't eat oil and salt, not only had no interest in a beauty like her, but also didn't give her a chance to create romance at all, and left without looking back after throwing her out.

Because today is Lan Tianxing's banquet for the Lan family's high-level officials, the idle personnel have been emptied. There are no security guards and cleaners on this floor except for the Lan clan, and it is impossible for Lan Yun'er to find someone to help or ask for help.

"Bastard! Bastard, bastard... You're a big bastard! When Leng Xuan threw her out, she didn't have the slightest pity for her, Lan Yun'er secretly scolded a hundred times in her heart and didn't solve the problem, so she could only get up and rub her sore knees, secretly thinking about what method to use to fix Leng Xuan.

As soon as Leng Xuan entered the door of the banquet hall, he saw that the atmosphere inside was not quite right.

Lan Tianxing seemed to be toasting Lan Ming with a wine glass, Lan Ming directly emptied the wine in the cup, and then held the empty glass and said, "If the eldest young master doesn't take back his fate, Lan Ming can only leave the Lan family!" Big brother, if you really want to force me to leave, Lan Ming will obey the order and have no complaints! ”。

"Ming'er, listen to your eldest brother..."Lan Ziqian quietly pulled him behind Lan Ming, meaning to let him think about it again, don't say it so absolutely, how many people can't fulfill their wishes when they want to usurp this position, Lan Ming just refused so unmovingly?

"Yes, second brother, listen to the fourth uncle, you still think about it again, and you are not in a hurry to give me an answer..."Lan Tianxing could only try to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, he suddenly found that the authority of the eldest young master of the Lan family did not seem to be strong in this regard, because almost everyone did not give him this face.

"Don't think about it!" Lan Ming also replied without giving any face, "Everyone in the Lan clan knows that you are the son of Zipeng's second uncle, and he also handed over the Lan family to you to inherit before he died." The patriarchs of the Lan family have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is no precedent for replacement and dismissal, so my subordinates can't agree! ”。

Patriarch for life? Subordinate?

Regardless of whether the Lan family has a precedent for deposing the patriarch, Lan Ming has already taken the lead in voting against himself in front of the clansmen. His most competitive opponent has voluntarily given up, so is there any need for others to jump out and look for trouble?

And there is a fact that cannot be ignored: if Lan Ming really takes over this position and becomes the eldest young master, the Lan family without Lan Tianxing will soon fall apart because Lan Ming is not strong enough and cohesion is not enough, and finally become a plate of scattered sand.

The reason why Ji Lang's Ji family and Senior Brother Zhang's Zhang family are temporarily attached to the Lan family is because the Lan family has the existence of Lan Tianxing, if he really abdicates and makes way for Xian, even if Senior Brother Zhang is still the son-in-law of the Lan family, he can't do too much, and the Ji family will definitely withdraw and follow Lan Tianxing.

Everyone can see such a gloomy situation very clearly, if you don't want to die early, and you still want to stay on the Lan family's boat to get a piece of the pie, you must resolutely support Lan Tianxing as the eldest young master of the Lan family and the lifelong patriarch of the Lan family, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Lan Ziqian could only silently retreat to the side, sighing secretly. Lan Zitao kept his eyes closed as if he was asleep, and he didn't say a word or raise any doubts during the whole process, maybe he himself knew that no matter what he said at this time, it was meaningless.
