Murong Qingyan's words did not make Chen Xianyi flinch like this, a deep smile appeared on his face, "Cousin Qingyan, we are not secretive, and everyone knows your influence on grandfather. I believe if It's what you said, grandfather will definitely think about it."
If it was before, maybe he really didn't take Murong's face in his eyes. After all, no matter how favored she was, Murong Qingyan was just an outsider. But since that time he overheard the conversation between his grandfather and Murong Qingyan, he changed his mind. If he wants to sit on the seat of the head of the family, then Murong's support will be indispensable.
He heard the news that Murong Qingyan had returned just now, and also knew that Murong Qingyan went to find his grandfather as soon as he came back, so he rushed over immediately.
"Oh, so what?" Murong put her hand on her cheek and looked at Chen Xianyi with a smile, "You came to me today to tell me that I have a great influence on my grandfather?"
Unexpectedly, this Chen Xianyi actually hit her with all his ideas now. I think it was because I overheard the conversation between her and my grandfather before, so I came up with this idea. It's just, why does Chen Xianyi think she will be on his side
"Cousin Qingyan, since we are already sitting here face to face, there is no need to continue talking about some scenes." Chen Xianyi looked at Murong Qingyan, and then said seriously, "I am looking for you today because I hope you can Help me to ascend to the seat of the head of the family."
He has been thinking about this idea for a long time. The only person who can help him now is Murong Yanyan. Moreover, since he has chosen to come to Murong to show his face, he naturally has already thought about the conditions.
"Oh, then why do you think that I will definitely help you?" Murong's face was gloomy, "Perhaps I should say, what are you going to use to attract me?"
From Murong's face, Chen Xianyi couldn't see anything, he continued, "I know that the person you are optimistic about is Chen Xianbin, but what Chen Xianbin can give you, I can also give you. Not only that, as long as If you can help me ascend to the position of Patriarch, I will listen to your opinions on the important affairs of the Chen family in the future."
Chen Xianyi's words were almost straightforward. This almost shows that as long as he can become the head of the family, he can even become a puppet of Murong's face.
He believes that this is a huge temptation for anyone. Of course, as an indomitable man, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a puppet willingly. But now, the most important thing for him is to be able to sit in the position of the head of the family, so that he can realize his ambition.
Moreover, he believed that when he became the head of the family, he would have the opportunity to regain power.
"It can be seen that your determination is really big!" Murong smiled and smiled, "But, how did you make me believe what you said? You have to know that such a guarantee is worthless. of."
She really didn't expect that Chen Xianyi would even be her puppet in order to get the heir's seat. Should it be said that Chen Xianyi thinks things too simply, or should it be said that his mind is too heavy
"I can make an oath." Chen Xianyi looked at Murong and said firmly, "If I break my oath at that time, there will naturally be heaven to punish me."
While speaking, Chen Xianyi kept watching the changes in the expression on Murong Qingyan's face, trying to see some of Murong Qingyan's thoughts. But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see a clue.
Murong looked at Chen Xianyi quietly, and after a long time, she said, "I already know what you said. Then I can say goodbye now! I just came back from the outside, and I'm still very tired!"
"Then I won't disturb cousin Qingyan's rest." Chen Xianyi got up and waved his hand towards Murong Qingyan, then said, "As for what I said today, I hope you will think about it."
Although Murong Qingyan did not directly agree to his request, he felt that Murong Qingyan must have been moved. Otherwise, at the beginning, he should have refused him directly, right
He believed that in the end, Murong Qingyan would still be on his side. After all, no one can refuse the temptation of power, right
With an ambiguous smile on her face, Murong returned to Qiwu Courtyard.
Seeing Murong's face coming back, Huangfu Jue stepped forward and said, "Didn't you just say hello to your grandfather? Why did it take so long?"
"Hehe, when I came back, I met Chen Xianyi."
Later, Murong Qingyan told everything that happened after meeting Chen Xianyi.
While they were talking, the two had already sat down at the table, and Huangfu Jue poured a cup of tea for Murong.
At the end, Murong Qingyan couldn't help but sigh, "I have always known that this Chen Xianyi has a very heavy heart and is also a very ambitious person. I didn't expect that in order to become the head of the family, he would actually be willing to become such a person. puppet."
"It's absolutely impossible for him to really hand over power, it's just his expedient measure." Huangfu Jue said disdainfully, "He is willing to sacrifice so much, just for power. What are you going to do? Woolen cloth?"
"What else can I do? Let's make a salad!" Murong spread her hands and said indifferently, "Anyway, my grandfather already knows what he has in mind. Before we leave, he will announce who the heir is. For a while, let's take a good rest in Chen's house for a while!"
"Okay," Huangfu Jue nodded, "Have you decided when you want to go to the ancient city?"
"Ten days later!" Murong said with a smile, "I have already agreed with my grandfather. In five days, my grandfather will announce the candidate for the next head of the family."
Huangfu nodded, then stepped forward directly, and hugged Murong's face, "Okay, there are so many things once you get back to Chen's house, aren't you tired? Don't think too much, we are still Take a good rest first!"
Murong stretched out her hand, wrapped her arms around Huangfu Jue's neck, and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't want anything, I just want you."
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Huangfu Jue didn't say anything, but the tenderness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
The two soon embraced each other on the bed. Murong leaned against Huangfu Jue's chest, listening to Huangfu Jue's heartbeat, she felt extremely at ease.
"Je, when we are together, I often ignore you, do you mind?" Murong said in a low voice.
Indeed, since being with Huangfu Jue, not to mention that the two of them have been together less and more apart. Even these days, the two have been together, and she still has a lot of her own things to do. Even at Huangfu Jue's side, she still couldn't stop.
"No," Huangfu Jue's voice was full of tenderness, "As long as I can stay by your side, I don't care. Moreover, I know that the reason why you do this is to stand by my side as soon as possible."
He was well aware of this. The reason why Murong Qingyan has been cultivating so hard is to be able to transcend the catastrophe as soon as possible, and then stand by his side openly. He knew very well that in Murong Qingyan's heart, he occupied a very important position.
"Jue, it's really nice to meet you." Murong said with a light smile, "Actually, there should be a lot of beautiful women in the devil world! Yan Shouhuan is fat, choose as you wish. Jue, how can you do it? Will you see me?"
She was still curious about this. Especially when the two met, she still had such a big birthmark on her face. Although the birthmark has now been removed, it cannot be denied that the one with the birthmark at the time was really ugly.
"There's no reason." Huangfu Jue said lightly, "It's just because it's you that I like it."
At the beginning, he just had a curious feeling about this girl. I just don't know when it started, that feeling of curiosity gradually changed. Especially when he saw that the girl's life was hanging by a thread, all his emotions burst out. At that time, he knew that he was planted, and it was planted in the hands of this girl.
"It seems that my charm is quite great!" After hearing Huangfu Jue's words, there was a hint of sweetness in Murong's face, "However, Jue, I'm really happy to be with you. "
"Well." Huangfu Jue's low voice sounded, "We will always be together."
After Murong smiled lightly, she said, "However, Jue, Xiaobai didn't dare to come out when they were with you. They have been staying in the space for so long, you said they would There will be no opinion!"
Hearing that Murong Qingyan suddenly mentioned those little beasts, Huangfu Jue's face sank a little, "That's because they are too timid. Besides, they are fine to stay in the space."
Although Huangfu Jue didn't hate those little beasts, he couldn't say he liked them either. In the past, these little beasts would only hinder his relationship with Yan'er. Although these are all in the space now, Yan'er still mentions them from time to time.
Hearing the faint smell of vinegar in Huangfu Jue's words, Murong smiled lightly, "Don't bother with these little guys. When you reach the ancient city, let them all come out and do some activities! Staying in the space, they're probably stuffy too."
Especially the steamed bun, which has been clamoring to come out to eat delicious food all this time, it is already tired of those spiritual plants in the space.
Although he was not very willing in his heart, Huangfu Jue would not refute Murong's face, "As long as you are happy."
Hearing the connivance in Huangfu Jue's words, a happy smile flashed on Murong's face.
"Okay, don't think too much, go to sleep!" Huangfu Jue stretched out his hand, patted Murong's face on the back, and said, "You must be quite tired."
In Huangfu Jue's low voice, Murong Qingyan slowly fell into sleep.
The news that Murong Qingyan returned to the Chen family soon spread. Many people came to visit, wanting to meet Murong.
Since the exchange meeting was over, Murong Qingyan has become a great hero of the Chen family. If it weren't for her existence, the Chen family would not have achieved such good results. Moreover, the current Patriarch and the three elders valued Murong Qingyan more and more with each passing day.
Therefore, it is a good thing for them to have a good relationship with Murong now.
However, Murong Qingyan didn't see any of those people's requests. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to take a good rest, and she didn't want to deal with so many people.
Some people were not very comfortable with Murong's shyness. However, the status of Murong Qingyan was there, and everyone naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Murong Qingyan just hid in the Qiwu Courtyard, and was alone with Huangfu Jue. They were very happy. As for those things outside, they had nothing to do with her.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, five days have passed. At noon that day, Chen Shanghua called everyone to the hall.
All the people from the third room of the Chen family's direct line have arrived, and Chen Shanghua and the three elders are sitting on it. As for Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue, they sat just below Chen Shanghua.
This arrangement made the other Chen family members feel very strange. They did not expect that, as a junior, Murong Qingyan was actually qualified to sit in such a seat. However, seeing the solemn expression on the owner's face, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Everyone is speculating that the Patriarch has gathered all the people together at this time, and they don't know why. However, looking at this atmosphere, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
At this time, Chen Xianyi, who was sitting below, had a vague guess in his heart. He wasn't sure what was in his heart, but he couldn't contain his excitement.
After seeing the people sitting below, Chen Shanghua cleared his throat and said, "I called you all over today, there is something very important to announce. This matter concerns the future of the Chen family. So I purposely asked all of you to come and witness."
After hearing such words, everyone look at me, I look at you, all, there is no way to restrain their inner curiosity. They could all see that today's events should be serious, but they couldn't guess what kind of big event it was.
Only Chen Xianyi, although there is not much expression on his face, but the excitement in his eyes cannot be concealed. He is now almost certain that what his grandfather said was to announce the next heir.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, on the day that Murong came back, he went straight to find someone. Otherwise, he must have no chance at all. Although Murong Qingyan did not promise him directly and explicitly, he was sure that no one could withstand such a temptation, even Murong Qingyan was the same.
The seat of the next Patriarch must already be in his pocket.
Chen Xianbin sat there, his face was calm and there was no extra expression.
Murong looked at the expressions of these people in the hall without a trace, and after seeing Chen Xianbin's performance, she couldn't help but nodded. It seems that Chen Xianbin has made a lot of progress since then.
After Chen Shanghua looked around, he said again, "As you all know, our Chen family has not decided an heir for a long time. Other families have already decided their heirs one after another, and I think our Chen family has too. It's time to decide who will be the next head of the family."
After hearing Chen Shanghua's words, everyone's hearts were immediately lifted. You know, the position of the heir has always been the focus of everyone's attention. But all along, the head of the family has no idea of setting up an heir. No one could have imagined that the owner of the family handed over everyone today for this matter.
Chen Shanghua didn't even look at the expressions of the people below, he continued, "I have already chosen the heir, and I have discussed it with the three elders, and they have all agreed. I am here now. It is announced that the heir to the next head of the Chen family is Chen Xianbin, the grandson of the Chen family."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Chen Xianbin.
Everyone was surprised at first, but soon, everyone remembered that after returning from the exchange meeting, the owner seemed to have explained a lot of things to Chen Xianbin, and even started to let Chen Xianbin participate in some decision-making in the family. Now it seems that the head of the family should have started to consciously want to train Chen Xianbin.
At this time, the happiest people are the people in the big room. Chen Ruixing was excited. Although he was not able to become the head of the family, now the next head of the family is his son, which is enough to make him very happy.
The people in the second room of the Chen family had a dark face. As for the people in the third room of the Chen family, they were not too surprised. They were also very happy for Chen Xianbin.
As for Chen Xianyi, he was sitting in his seat at this time with a look of disbelief. He did not expect that his grandfather called everyone here today to announce the candidate for the next head of the family, and this person was not him.
This is impossible! Grandfather doted on Murong Qingyan so much, and even on such important matters, he attached great importance to Murong Qingyan's opinion. The seat that Murong Qingyan was sitting on now was enough to illustrate this point. However, why is that person not him, but Chen Xianbin
Thinking of this, Chen Xianyi suddenly stood up.
This sudden move shocked everyone. Everyone doesn't know what Chen Xianyi wants to do. Is it because he is dissatisfied with the decision of the family master
Chen Shanghua said with a calm face, "Xianyi, what are you doing? Do you have any opinion on my decision?"
After seeing Chen Shanghua's gloomy face, Chen Xianyi realized that he had done something unconsciously. He quickly sat down, shook his head, and explained, "No, I have no opinion."
Such a small episode was quickly forgotten by everyone.
Whether happy or unhappy. Now that the owner of the house has made a decision, everyone can no longer have any opinions.
After saying some words of encouragement, Chen Shanghua told everyone to leave. Just let Chen Xianbin, the three elders and Murong show their faces to stay. Of course, Murong Qingyan didn't leave, and it was even more impossible for Huangfu Jue to leave.
When Chen Xianyi was leaving, he secretly glanced at Murong Qingyan. There was inquiry, doubt and hatred in his eyes.
Murong Qingyan naturally felt Chen Xianyi's complicated emotions, but she didn't care. From beginning to end, she never promised Chen Xianyi anything.
Chen Xianbin sat there, although his face was not obvious, but his excitement was still able to be felt by the people around him.
After returning from the exchange meeting, he could feel his grandfather's reliance on him. I have to say that this change made him very happy. Although Chen Xianyi kept stumbling him, he survived without any risk.
However, he never thought that such a decision had already been made in his grandfather's heart. In the past, he was indeed a very ambitious person, and he also thought about taking the seat of the head of the family. However, too many things happened later, and he gradually lost his position in front of his grandfather.
It's just, he didn't expect that today, his long-standing wish has finally come true. For a while, he didn't know what to say. At this time his heart was very excited.
"Xianbin." Chen Shanghua looked at Chen Xianbin and said, "Do you know why I chose you to be the heir to the next head of the Chen family?"
After hearing Chen Shanghua's question, Chen Xianbin honestly shook his head. He didn't think that the reason why his grandfather chose him was because he won the first place in the alchemy competition at the exchange meeting. Although it is true that since then, grandfather's attitude towards him has changed a lot.
But he vaguely felt in his heart that there should be more important reasons for this. Otherwise, the grandfather could not have announced him as the next heir so early. After all, the time until the end of the exchange meeting is still very short. Even if you want to inspect him, it should not be possible to make such a decision so quickly.
