The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 334
Chapter 334 Su Clan Conference
In the main hall of the Su Clan’s main residence!
Early in the morning, this place was filled with important people from the Su Clan. Their expressions were solemn and even a little nervous, because everyone discovered that the old butler of the family, Uncle Li, had disappeared!
It wasn’t that these people paid much attention to Uncle Li. It was just that during the family meetings, Uncle Li was in charge of pouring tea and delivering water. Now that there was suddenly such a person missing, everyone felt a little uncomfortable!
“Uncle Li said that he had something to do at home and asked me to take a few days off to go home! Sigh! Now that he’s gone, no one in the hall will burn the incense.” Su Haonan sat at the top of the big round table and suddenly said, “Tomorrow, you go and change the purple sandalwood in the incense jar into a new, loose hall smell!”
“Alright!” Su Ming had already stood up and walked towards the table in the hall.
There were more than ten drawers under the table. Su Ming directly opened the second and third row of drawers and took out the red sandalwood incense and lit it!
In the eyes of Su Haonan and Qin Feng, their expressions were different!
This morning, Su Haonan held this family meeting. The huge oval table was filled with members of the Su Family. The higher the status, the closer they were to Su Haonan’s position. The lower the status, the lower they were.
Su Qiu Yue and Su Xia Tian sat on both sides of the old man. Qin Feng did not take a seat. He stood behind the old man and paid attention to everyone’s actions at all times to protect the safety of the old man and the sisters!
“Yesterday morning, everyone had a family banquet together, and this morning, there was another family meeting. May I know if everyone has anything to say?” By the time Su Ming returned to his seat, Su Haonan had already spoken.
Today, his complexion was rosy, he was full of energy, and he was confident in his words!
Everyone below had a different look on their faces. They lowered their heads in frustration and remained silent. They all knew that today, the old man was here to teach people how to practice their family law.
‘”This old man hasn’t seen everyone for more than three months. I heard you all gather in the hall yesterday. I thought you had a lot of things to say to me. Why aren’t you talking now?” Su Haonan waited for a moment before continuing.
There was still silence below. Even Su Ming and Su Hai didn’t dare to speak casually. How could anyone else have the guts to stand out?
“Su Ming, don’t you say a few words?” Su Haonan suddenly looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, his expression was still calm and cold, “Dad, the reason why I came to your room to talk to Qiu Yue these days is because I want to know about your current health. I’m worried that Dad doesn’t have any other intentions!”
“Haha! Then you really have a heart!” Su Haonan smiled and looked at Su Hai, “Hai’er, what about you?”
“Dad! I have the same thoughts as second brother. I’m also worried about Dad’s comfort. Now that I know that Dad is fine, I don’t have any other problems!” Su Hai smiled and said.
“Then everyone else is thinking the same as my two sons. They only gathered here because they were concerned about my health!”
Su Haonan looked at everyone, and everyone nodded their heads!
“Haha! I didn’t expect that this old man like me would still be so popular and cared for by everyone. I’m very gratified!” Su Haonan smiled and his expression changed. “Since everyone has no other doubts, then I will announce now that everyone will have no objections to passing Su Clan’s next position of Patriarch to my precious granddaughter, Su Qiu Yue, right?”
Huala!
Once Su Haonan said those words, the place below immediately turned into a mess!
Just now, one or two of them lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak. Upon hearing the news, they immediately whispered in each other’s ears. A few days ago, they thought that the old man was about to die, so they joined forces to attack Su Qiu Yue!
If this Patriarch really let Su Qiu Yue become the Patriarch, would everyone have a good life in the future?
Su Qiu Yue was an acknowledged genius girl in Heavenly City. She had always handled things impartially and clearly distinguished between right and wrong. She definitely won’t let you off just because you’re her second uncle or third aunt. Such a person can bring the clan to a higher realm, but she’s also the person the clan’s insiders hate the most!
“What’s wrong? Everyone seems to have some objections to my decision!” Su Haonan looked at the crowd in a deep voice.
“Dad! Do you need to think about it? It’s a bit too hasty to make such a decision so easily without telling us all before?” Su Ming stood out.
If he didn’t stand up and refute the fact that he would lose the position of Patriarch, how long would he have to endure?
“Second Brother is right! Dad, the inheritance of our family is a big matter. It concerns the future survival and development of our Su Clan. Dad should think twice about it!”
…
When Su Xia Tian heard that these uncles and aunts did not think highly of her sister, she did not conceal the dissatisfaction in her heart at all. She was so angry that her mouth was so stubborn. If it wasn’t for Qin Feng’s gaze stopping her, she would have jumped up to argue with Second Uncle and Third Uncle by now.
Su Qiu Yue, on the other hand, had an expression as calm as water, and could not see the emotions in her heart at this moment!
“I told you why everyone didn’t say anything today. I thought you guys really didn’t have any opinions. Are you all standing up now?” Su Haonan indifferently looked at the faces of everyone who was opposed to Su Qiu Yue, and his heart ached slightly.
He didn’t know how these people targeted Qiu Yue when he fell ill. Qiu Yue must have suffered for the past three months!
“Making Qiu Yue the Patriarch is my deliberate decision. I feel that she is capable of being the Patriarch!” Su Haonan’s tone hardened!
“Dad, Qiu Yue is a woman’s family after all. How can a woman be the head of a family in Su Clan?” Su Ming said with a frown.
“That’s right, Dad! If Qiu Yue becomes the head of the family, when she marries out in the future, then the entire Su Clan will be thrown to someone else … Dad, the Su Clan is a family business left behind by generations of struggle. You can’t do this!”
“Master, please think twice!”
…
None of the people present were in favor of passing the position of Patriarch to Su Qiu Yue. Su Haonan had obviously thought of this situation long ago, and his expression did not change much.
“Grandfather, if I really become the Patriarch, I can never marry for the rest of my life!” Su Qiu Yue’s calm voice suddenly rang out, like a bolt of lightning hitting everyone’s foreheads in an instant!
This woman was indeed the number one genius in the Heavenly City. She didn’t say anything, but she spoke with astonishment!
Su Qiu Yue will never marry! This way, her surname would still be Su, and Su Clan would also be the original Su Clan, so she wouldn’t be snatched away by someone with an alien surname.
A simple sentence could disperse everyone’s doubts and attacks!
“Furthermore, I will choose a new Patriarch from the male members of the Su Clan’s direct line and collateral line. In the end, when I step down, I will elect them to the top … The direct line and collateral line descendants will have the same chance to compete!”
The last bolt of lightning hadn’t completely descended yet, yet another round of thunderbolt attacks had smashed down!
Su Qiu Yue’s words were extremely harmful to everyone, especially to the people of Su Clan’s immediate family. It was simply a devastating blow.
The direct descendants and the collateral descendants had the same chance to compete for the position of Patriarch. This was an attractive condition. The eyes of the collateral relatives present were already shining, and their hearts were stirred!
Just now, they had been resolutely opposed to Su Qiu Yue being the Patriarch, but now, they were in favor of her, because after this girl became the Patriarch, their descendants would have the right to run for the new Patriarch. This was something that they had never dared to imagine before!
“I have no objections to what Qiu Yue said. If she really becomes the new Patriarch of the Su Clan today, then I will have successfully stepped down. In the future, the entire Su Clan will be her world, and it will be up to her!” Su Haonan stood up at the right time to express his stance. His attitude was once again a heartstrengthening drug that struck the hearts of the collateral relatives.
The few people who were already about to move had already stepped forward to express their stance!
‘”Master, in all these years that you have been the Patriarch, Su Clan has been thriving under your leadership! Your vision is definitely more accurate than ours. Since you have taken a fancy to Little Qiu Yue, then I have nothing to say. I stand on your side!”
“Master, I also think that Qiu Yue girl is not bad!”
‘”Back then, before Big Brother Su Xun died, he was the new Patriarch that everyone had always acknowledged, but after that accident … Ai! Actually, I think it’s right to pass the new residence to Big Brother Su Xun’s girl!”
…
Of the fifty plus Su Clan relatives present, half of them were already on Su Qiu Yue’s side!
There were many people in the other half who wanted to change teams, but they had already agreed with Su Ming or Su Hai to share the benefits. Now, it was not good to suddenly change teams, so these people would not stand out easily without waiting for the last moment!
“Dad! The Su Clan’s great cause has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. How could such a huge clan pass on the position of Patriarch to her just because of Qiu Yue’s words? She said that if we don’t marry forever, we can trust her. She said that after becoming the Patriarch, we will give the descendants of the collateral clan the same chance to compete for the new Patriarch, so you can trust her?”
“Is she obviously writing a blank cheque for everyone in order to become the Patriarch first?” Seeing that the situation was beginning to change, Su Hai hurriedly continued.
Su Hai also stood in the same line as his second brother and analyzed, “Dad! Let’s not say that the position of Patriarch should not be passed on to a woman, let’s put aside the gender distinction and talk about whether Qiu Yue has the ability to hold the position of Patriarch first!”
“Ever since Dad spread the news that he had fallen ill in bed for three months, our Su Clan’s businesses have started to show signs of chaos and decline. During this period of time, Qiu Yue was the temporary Clan Head in charge of the Su Clan’s business!”
“In the three months that she led, the Su Clan has been in a mess. All the industries involved in the Su Clan have been damaged one after another, and some small industries have even gone bankrupt … I have specially calculated that in just three months, our Su Clan has lost more than 200 million yuan!”
‘”This is still the loss of my second brother and I who helped Qiu Yue recover a lot of the situation. If she really becomes the new Patriarch, the Su Clan will not know what will happen in the future!”
“Dad! You definitely have to consider this matter carefully!”
