【Chapter 113】Family Meeting
Li Xiaochen, who couldn't afford such a favorable treatment, finally survived this hurdle.
After changing his clothes, the four beauties carefully combed his style.
A handsome and dashing handsome guy was created in this way.
Several beauties looked around him in all directions at 360 degrees for a while. There was a look of admiration in their eyes.
Li Xiaochen was burned in the face by their hot and gentle gaze, and coughed twice: "Can we go?"
Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Li Xiaochen walked through the intricate garden-style ancient mansion of the Jiang family, and finally entered a narrow passage.
Listen closely, a voice comes from the deepest part of the passage.
“...... Before discussing the internal affairs of the Jiang family, alternate heir, can you explain why the people from the shadow department are also involved?" This unfamiliar voice Li Xiaochen heard for the first time.
"Let me explain it myself. Another voice, Li Xiaochen recognized. It was Melzak who was talking.
"The Shadow Department has always been an impartial organization. Originally, we should not have interfered in the family affairs of the Jiang family. But the choice of the head of your Jiang family is related to the survival of the immortal cultivation world. That's why we took the liberty to come in. If you are offended, please Haihan, the elder of the Jiang family. ”
Li Xiaochen had heard him say these words to Mrs. Hua.
Now that he heard Melzak say this, Li Xiaochen faintly felt a little bad.
What was Melzac's real motivation for helping him?
Is it just to let him Li Xiaochen join the shadow department?
Is there a deeper reason for this?
The more Li Xiaochen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Perhaps what Melzak said was not an excuse, but the real purpose of the Shadow Department's willingness to help.
Does all this have a major relationship with Jiang Mier?
"Minister Mei, could you please elaborate, what does the head of our Jiang family have to do with the survival of the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
"Elders, I'm sorry I can't say it right now. When the evidence comes, I will naturally explain it to you. ”
"In other words, you must be here to audit?"
"Yes. If things don't go badly, our film department will never interfere with the Jiang family. On the contrary, the shadow department had to be offended. ”
As soon as this remark was made, it immediately aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the elders.
"Melzak, you're despising the Jiang family by doing this!"
"It's so rude! Jiang family's affairs, when will it be your turn to intervene?"
"We abide by the order set by the Shadow Ministry, firstly, for the sake of stabilizing the situation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. The second is to give you face for the Xianlun faction. But don't think that the Jiang family is afraid of you!"
"You have violated the rules set by your shadow department, and have greatly hurt the good relationship that has been established between the Jiang family and the shadow department for a long time. If the Jiang family and the shadow department have a bad relationship and both sides suffer huge losses, can you afford the responsibility?"
As they argued, the closed door creaked open.
Li Xiaochen turned down the volume of his footsteps as much as he could, and walked in cautiously.
But all of you here are first-class masters, and your ears and eyes are keen, which is absolutely incomparable.
Although Li Xiaochen's voice was subtle, it couldn't escape their ears.
Everyone looked towards the exit of the conference room. All eyes fell on this handsome young man.
Li Xiaochen sneered at them and glanced at the entire conference room.
A round table was set up on the stage in the distance. Sitting around the table, in addition to Melzak and a dozen gray-haired old men, there were also Jiang Mi'er and an extraordinary-looking man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
Looking at this formation, it is like a round table.
The rows of seats that stretched out to this side of the door were full.
"Who are you?" asked a dignified elder on the stage as he glared at Li Xiaochen.
Li Xiaochen slipped his mouth and slid the words out: "Send tea." ”
After saying this, his face felt funny.
The old man looked unhappy and said, "Who is your foreman? I don't know the rules! Don't you see that we are discussing? Stand down, stand down!"
Li Xiaochen answered yes and was about to leave.
"Wait. Jiang Mi'er saw him clearly from a distance, "There is a seat reserved for you in the front row, come here." ”
Li Xiaochen sighed, walked to the first row in a daze, and found a vacant seat to sit down.
Jiang Mi'er said to the elders of the round table: "He is my fiancé, Li Xiaochen, not to deliver tea. ”
"Then why did he claim to be delivering tea just now?"
As soon as she said this, all the elders except Jiang Ming looked at Li Xiaochen in unison.
This guy is dignified and extraordinary. After the careful dressing of the four beauties, it is even more Yushu in the wind and graceful.
Everyone felt that this handsome guy was very compatible with Jiang Mier, and his first impression was quite good.
The elder who had scolded him earlier was a little embarrassed. If he had taken a closer look just now, he wouldn't have regarded Li Xiaochen as a tea send.
But he thought again: This kid is obviously not here to deliver tea, but he wants to lie and deceive people. Such a slippery person is unreliable!
And the one sitting next to Jiang Mier is Jiang Junning, who is also one of the candidates for the house.
He looked at Li Xiaochen curiously, wanting to see what the person in his sister's picture looked like.
After looking at him for a while, Jiang Junning saw that he looked good, and nodded secretly: He looks passable. I just don't know if this person is outside the gold and jade, and he is ruined in it?
"On the issue of the involvement of the shadow department, I personally agree. Jiang Mi'er pulled their attention back, "Everything changes from the right." For so many years, the film department has never meddled in other people's affairs casually. I'm sure they're telling the truth. Besides, when the evidence comes, Minister Mei will give you a reasonable explanation. I agreed to let the film department sit in on the hearing. What do the elders think?"
She only said "agree to audit", and did not agree with the shadow department to interfere in the affairs of the Jiang family.
The meaning of this is well known to all of you.
Jiang Junning also agreed: "I have the same meaning as Xiaomei, and allow the shadow department to observe." ”
The two leading candidates have expressed their positions one after another and stand on the same position.
This had to be reconsidered by the elders. After all, one of the two of them must be in charge.
No matter who you offend, you will have a hard time in the future.
Jiang Ming, as the leader of the elders, has already practiced the kung fu of judging the situation at home.
He took the lead in supporting the views of the two candidates: "The old man also agreed to let the shadow department sit in on it. ”
Yes, the three heavyweights all have a unified voice.
When the rest of the elders saw this, even if they didn't want to nod, they mumbled from their noses.
Jiang Mi'er smiled slightly and turned to the topic: "Then the meeting will begin." Let me start with a few words. All the elders must have seen it with their own eyes, and before his death, my father announced in public that he would pass on the deeds of the family to me. Besides, the Ziya Sword is also in my hand. I am the most qualified successor. There is no doubt about this. ”
She paused, observed the expressions of everyone at the table, and said, "But some people think that I am a daughter and do not want to see me as a master." First, they sent people to prevent me from returning to China. Later, they tried to marry me off. But I already have a place in my heart. After 'friendly' communication with the Great Elder, he agreed to my proposal of 'taking care of the affairs of the Jiang family with two people', which is an idea led by me and assisted by my husband. ”
"To put it harshly, you can't see women in power, that's why you're against me. But if it's a man and a woman who take care of the Jiang family together, you won't have anything to say, right?"
Seeing that the other elders opened their mouths to speak, Jiang Mi'er rushed ahead of them and quickly continued: "You may disagree. Because the real power is still in my hands. And what kind of person my future husband is, people don't know. In addition, he does not have the blood of the Jiang family. The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. Even if he is willing to join the Jiang family, he may not be able to get the approval of the elders. ”
The words that followed were to the hearts of the elders.
How can you let that kind of outsider who comes back casually get involved in the Jiang family's affairs?
Among the four major families, none of them will let people who are not of their own blood or have a foreign surname preside over the overall situation.
"This leads to the following key point - in your eyes, I am a young and knowledgeable yellow-haired girl, and I do not have the image of the head of the house in the minds of the elders. My brother is the eldest son and is satisfactory to everyone in every way. Therefore, you, who have always supported orthodoxy, oppose my succession. Such a to-the-point statement silenced the elders of the round table.
Jiang Mi'er's single knife went straight to the point, and she just right to say all the thoughts in their hearts.
The elders have long complained about this. But because of Jiang Mier's status in the Jiang family, no one can make it clear first.
Some of the elders came up with the idea of marrying Jiang Mi'er.
And Jiang Ming is more ruthless than them, uniting with Mrs. Hua, planning to kill Jiang Mi'er once and for all.
It's just that so far, no one has been able to do so.
Jiang Mi'er had already seen too much of the elders' faces. The old men did not speak, but acquiesced to her statement.
She looked at Jiang Junning who was sitting next to her again.
Seeing that he was also silent, Jiang Mi'er said: "The late father is the predecessor in charge, and he knows better than you all the factors I just mentioned. But why did he still pass it on to me?"
After taking a deep look at the restless Jiang Ming, Jiang Mi'er said again: "This question is left for you to think about for the time being." Two months ago, I made a three-trick covenant with the Great Elder. On behalf of the Council of Elders, he made a promise to me that as long as my fiancé could take over his three moves, I would inherit the family. If the promise is broken, all elders will resign. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the other elders in front of the round table, but also many elders of the Jiang family in the audience were in an uproar.
"This is too child's play! The leader is the supreme leader of our Jiang family, how can he decide so casually with a competition?"
That's what I said, but it's not incomprehensible. Our Jiang family is one of the four great families in the immortal cultivation world, and it makes sense to use the immortal method to duel and choose the master. ”
"Yes, yes, that's what I thought. As a master, of course, you must have something outstanding in cultivation. Otherwise, outsiders will bully the door, and the head of the house will not even dare to let out a fart. What's that called?"
"But it's not enough to fight. The head of the family also has to deal with all kinds of family affairs. ”
"Didn't you hear her just now? The way to fight with others depends on her future husband. The division of labor is clear. ”
"Do you want to adopt a two-headed model? It's unheard of. There are fundamental precedents to follow. Besides, can the rules set by the ancestors be changed at will?"
For a while, there were different opinions.
Jiang Mi'er smiled slightly and said, "Whether it's reasonable or not, I just want to ask the Great Elder, what you said doesn't count?"
