The sudden announcement of the old patriarch shocked everyone present.

And Li Xiang seemed to have expected this result.

His face was calm, without any waves.

The old patriarch tried to find a glimmer of joy in his face.

But still disappointed not to see it.

The old patriarch thought of someone as calm-minded as Li Xiang, who never changed his face.

There is absolutely no one to be found in the Li family.

So can the old patriarch's next plan be successfully implemented?
For a moment, I lost the slightest grasp.

So the old patriarch's heart began to panic.

"No, I object!" Li Xi suddenly jumped out at this moment and shouted.

Some people are used to it and look at it indifferently;

Some people looked surprised, but then looked at them with meaningful smiles;

Some people had secret joy on their faces, as if Li Xi's reaction was their plan.

……

Li Xi turned a deaf ear to the reaction of the clansmen at the scene.

She considered herself the most beloved granddaughter of the old patriarch.

Why not her?

I can't believe that grandpa will propose the successor of the patriarch to his least favorite grandson, Li Xiang.

The old patriarch looked at Li Xi with heartbroken eyes.

He thought that two or three people in his son's generation would object, and one person in his grandchild's generation would object.

I have always thought that Li Xi has always been the junior who understands him best.

But he never expected that Li Xi would be the first person to jump out and object.

You must know that he made this decision because of her, Li Xi.

After a hundred years for herself, she can use this decision to still enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of her life.

Today's Li Xi is obviously making trouble!

The old patriarch's complexion was ashen, as if there was a lump in his throat, and he was almost turned upside down in one breath.

Li Xi didn't seem to see the patriarch's grandfather's face.

I haven't heard any response for a long time, I thought Grandpa just couldn't hear clearly.

So she grabbed the patriarch's hand with both hands, and continued to say coquettishly:

"Grandpa, I said that I objected to what you said just now, to hand over the position of the next patriarch to brother Li Xiang. Have you ever heard this?"

Seeing the old patriarch's face, all the clansmen became even more ugly.

Privately discussing that the old patriarch would definitely scold Li Xi for the first time.

In Li Xiang's ears, Zhang Ling heard similar inquiries from the people of the clan.

But Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling firmly and shook his head.

Zhang Ling was somewhat skeptical of Li Xiang's shaking of his head.

Because she also felt such a big thing about the fate of the family.

Most of the old patriarch would reprimand Li Xi for his ignorance symbolically.

It still surprised many clansmen, and the old patriarch smiled again and said to Li Xi:
"I heard it, I heard it, do you still think that the position of patriarch is very suitable for you?"

Zhang Ling gave a thumbs up for Li Xiang's ability to accurately guess the behavior of the patriarch.

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for Li Xi to be reprimanded by the old patriarch next time.

What Zhang Ling didn't know was that these were just what Li Xiang had expected.

Including Li Xihui who was the first to jump out against the old patriarch.

When Li Xi heard the old patriarch's words, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

But this woman who has no self-knowledge still seems to have not heard the sighs of her tribe.

It is even more taken for granted that many clansmen said in front of them:

"Grandpa, you are in your prime now, and you don't look old at all. You can emulate Emperor Qianlong and become Emperor Jiaqing. Let Xi'er be the patriarch, and you can guide Xi'er to manage the family like Emperor Qianlong .”

These remarks really shocked many clansmen present.

After hearing this, the old patriarch felt like he was ten years younger.

Cheerful laughter echoed in the lobby.

After hearing this, Zhang Ling shook her head again and again, and whispered to Li Xiang beside her:
"No, no. With Li Xi's IQ, it is absolutely impossible to say such a thing. This woman must be guided by an expert."

Li Xiang also responded calmly with a smile:
"That's right! I think so too. It's just that I don't know who this expert is?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang's sharp gaze began to scan all the clansmen around him.

Li Xiang had just filtered more than a dozen people, but Zhang Ling said at this time:

"There's no need to look for it. I'm sure this person is definitely not here. But he can control everything here at all times."

Li Xiang asked suspiciously:

"Could it be that you have already guessed who the master behind Li Xi is?"

Zhang Ling smiled and motioned Li Wan to take a closer look at Li Xidao:
"Look at the white on her left ear covered by her hair?"

"Wireless Bluetooth headset!" Li Xiang said in surprise after observing for a while.

He had to admire Zhang Ling's meticulous observation.

At the same time, it also explained Li Xi's abnormal behavior today.

The patriarch's grandfather didn't seem to notice that there was an expert behind his granddaughter.

So he looked at Li Xi with eyes full of admiration and said:
"Well, not bad! The decision to let you go to XX Business School is still wise. I didn't expect you to be able to speak such a level of words. Grandpa is very gratified, very gratified!"

Li Xi saw his grandfather's unprecedented admiration.

Her whole body seemed to float up in an instant.

So he leaned his head on the patriarch's grandfather's shoulder again and said:

"Grandpa, I beg you to make this happy decision, okay? Xi'er promises that when he is the patriarch, he will fully obey your arrangements, and will do his best to carry out all the tasks you give Xi'er, and strive to make our Li family Take it to the next level."

After listening to Li Xi's words, the people present saw that the old patriarch was completely intoxicated by Li Xi's words.

Everyone began to worry that the old patriarch really handed over the fate of the family to Li Xi.

A few bold people spoke one after another, trying to persuade the old patriarch not to listen to Li Xi's words.

I never imagined that most of the clansmen would be so frightened by the sharp eyes of the old patriarch as soon as they opened their mouths to say only a title.

So they all beat their chests and stamped their feet with emotion. If the old patriarch really did this, the Li family would probably be destroyed by Li Xi's hands.

Because they never believed in a "feng shui master incident", the family has lost nearly [-]% of the profits, and the old patriarch personally spent a lot of money to fish out the troublemaker.

In addition, this troublemaker will basically cause trouble for the family once or twice a month.

The family spends huge public relations fees every month to wipe the ass of the troublemaker.

Will she be able to keep the Li family thriving?

Suppose, Li Xi is always excellent like Li Xiang, and accidentally caused a loss to the family by accident.

Then these clansmen would still be willing to believe that Li Xi had this ability.

pity!

Li Xi she is not.

In the lobby, the clansmen started to commotion again because of Li Xi's words.

Zhang Ling saw that Li Xi still turned a deaf ear to these disturbing remarks.

She admired Li Xi's mental strength in facing negative public opinion.

Do not!
To be exact, Li Xi has the ability to make the old patriarch support her all the time.

There is no need to worry even if there are many clansmen who are dissatisfied with her.

Zhang Ling took the opportunity to whisper in Li Xiang's ear:
"Hey, I said Li Xiang, why do you hear that you are very unpopular in the clan? I just heard that many clan members refused to accept you as the clan leader."

A capable young talent like Li Xiang.

One finger had killed Li Xi instantly.

She thought that she would hear that many clansmen would support his remarks.

Zhang Ling felt a little strange!

She searched for a long time but didn't hear a word from any clansman supporting him.

Many people even stood up and spoke against Li Xiang's remarks.

Some people said that Li Xiang was cold-tempered, rebellious, and did not attend the funeral of his parents, so he was not worthy of being the head of the Li family.

Some people say that Li wants to make the company bigger and stronger with the help of his family's financial resources, but he is not grateful.

Not long ago, with the help of Li Xi's wedding, she broke away from the control of the family consortium.

Now Li Xiang is an outsider to the family.

Therefore, it is even more inappropriate for outsiders to be the patriarch.

Li Xiang also heard these remarks.

He just smiled indifferently, looked at Zhang Ling affectionately and responded:
"I heard it. So what? Actually, I'm not interested in this patriarch either."

As the head of the Li family, you can control everything in the Li family.

Including the Li's consortium, which is well-known in the world.

According to Zhang Ling's existing logic analysis, when faced with these temptations, ordinary men absolutely have no resistance at all.

But she saw that Li Xiang was hearing the old patriarch's decision.

His eyes were like a dead lake without any waves or vitality.

So a curious look appeared on her face and she asked:

"You are not even interested in the head of the Li family. So what are you interested in?"

Li Xiang smiled with more and more intense love and said:

"Naturally, it is for Xiaodouzi, let our family of three become a family of three protected by law, and we have a very strong interest."

Zhang Ling shyly lowered her head and said with a smile:
"Is this a marriage proposal?"

"What do you think?" Li Xiang asked with a bit of a naughty feeling.

"You are really cunning!" said with a bit of coquettishness.

"Hehe..." Li Xiang recognized the word cunning with a smile.

Zhang Ling said with a bit of complaints and a smile:
"You proposed marriage with empty hands and nothing, and you even used Xiaodouzi's name to make your speech."

"Can't you say that?" Li Xiang pretended to be confused with a smirk.

Zhang Ling didn't answer his words and continued to complain:

"What's more, you don't have a word in your speech that can be directly linked to a marriage proposal. You are clearly a real liar! People won't be fooled."

"Liar?" Li Xiang couldn't believe that he would associate with these two words.

"Yes, I think you just want to deceive a daughter-in-law casually. If, in the future, if the deception is exposed, there is a reason not to be responsible."

"No, don't get me wrong. I, Li Xiang, have no such bad thoughts towards you."

While speaking, Li Xiang took the opportunity to embrace Zhang Ling, who seemed emotional, in front of everyone.

Or the reason why no one has lived in the dormitory for a long time, you can always feel the uncomfortable chill.

So let Zhang Ling be greedy for the rare warmth in Li Xiang's arms and unwilling to leave.

She snuggled into his arms with a smile and said softly:
"I know!"

Li Xiang felt as if he had eaten honey and his heart was sweet.

At this moment, the two just want to enjoy the quiet happiness that hugging brings to each other.

But Zhang Ling overheard another special statement that Li Xiang was not worthy to be the patriarch.

She could clearly hear Li Xiang's heartbeat, running wildly like a deer running for his life.

That is, someone once saw Li Xiang, a big man wearing women's clothing, ostentatious in public, which was indecent.

When Zhang Ling heard such remarks, she felt unbelievable.

A playful smile appeared on her face, and she observed Li Xiang with strange eyes.

Although he didn't say a word about it for the time being, Li Xiang's face was as hot as if someone had put it on fire.

At this time, Li Xiang wanted to clarify to Zhang Ling that he had never done it.

But Li Xiang couldn't justify himself in front of many members of the Li clan.

Because the thing of wearing women's clothing is indeed what Zhen Li Xiang has done before.

His role as a stand-in cannot be easily denied.

Of course, this is also a reason why the old patriarch always hated Li Xiang very much and refused to say it clearly.

The old patriarch once again used his majesty to rebuke the commotion.

Isn't this kind of reprimand specifically for Li Xiang's rescue?

Because all the attention of the old patriarch was attracted by Li Xi at the moment.

But Li Xiang also had to admit that this scolding also helped him out.

Because that clansman happened to be talking about what Li Xiang was least willing to hear, another remark about the real Li Xiang.

That is to say, the people of that tribe boldly guessed that Li Xiang was a speech with a problematic sexual orientation.

If he said this, he felt that Zhang Ling would immediately find a way to make him prove it in front of many members of the Li clan.

OMG!

How to prove this in front of everyone?

At this time, a strong sense of seriousness appeared on the kind face of the old patriarch.

He said to Li Xi beside him:

"Okay! Xi'er, I already understand what you mean, Grandpa. You should know that the family's future is not a child's play."

"grandfather……"

The old patriarch stopped Li Xi loudly before he could continue speaking:

"Xi'er, darling, stop messing around!"

This time I stopped loudly, just from the sound, there is nothing special about it.

He even showed a bit of doting towards Li Xi.

But coupled with the special facial expression of the old patriarch, Li Xi instantly became much quieter.

"Okay." Li Xi pouted unhappily like a child who didn't grow up.

The worry on the faces of many of these clansmen was instantly reduced by more than half.

The old patriarch then straightened his chest, looked around the clansman in a very imposing manner, and his eyes fell on Li Xiang again and announced loudly:

"Li Xiang, a descendant of the clan, has both virtue and deeds, is full of talent, belongs to God's will, has a lot of money and good fortune, and has the appearance of a Confucian businessman. Today, I will tell everyone in the family that Li Xiang will succeed my patriarch. I would like to inform the clan and ancestors..."

"Wait a minute!" Li Pan bravely interrupted the old patriarch's words suddenly.

The old patriarch looked at Li with an extremely displeased face and asked:
"Can't you wait for me to finish speaking if you have something urgent?"

Li Pan explained with an extremely painful and distorted expression:

"No, patriarch, grandpa, I'm so anxious. I can't hold it anymore. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'm going to pull my crotch down."

Many clansmen in the dormitory burst into laughter.

The old patriarch said nothing with a look of disgust, and waved Li Pan to leave quickly.

Return to calm after a "quiet".

After a pause of more than ten seconds, the old patriarch looked a little embarrassed, looked at Li Xiang and asked:

"Li Xiang, where did I just say that?"

At this time, Li Xiang took a few steps in front of the old patriarch and said:

"Patriarch, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you at all. So I don't know exactly where you said."

"Presumptuous! Good Li Xiang..." The elder with Li Xiang jumped out and criticized loudly.

Li Xiang didn't look at the elder at all, and continued to explain to the old patriarch:

"Patriarch, look at it. Uncle XX is not convinced by your decision. Anyway, I have just been appointed by you as the next patriarch. He jumped out and cursed me, the patriarch who has not yet taken office."

Li Xiang cleverly handed over the objections after Shi En to the old patriarch to deal with.

The old patriarch's sharp eyes almost scared Uncle XX who just jumped out and peed on the spot.

Li Xiang shook his head and glanced at Uncle XX and continued to say to the old patriarch:

"So you don't need to talk about it, patriarch. I, Li Xiang, will not agree with your old decision."
