Even though it was probably extremely shameful to accept that the line of thought of a young man from the third generation was better than theirs, the Li family Elders couldn't find fault in them.
Like this, their Cui family would be the true winner no matter what, and they couldn't help but praise Cui Xie a bit in their hearts, despite not being willing to.
Basing his trust in the family's protection was probably his worst decision. Well, it was most probably hereditary as his father had done the same, only to end up scre*wed by the same family he trusted.
The guy's face was extremely ugly and dark, and he was clearly making his ploys and schemes to send Cui Xie to the same end, and he had a great opportunity in front of him.
With those thoughts in mind, he finally seemed to have come to his senses a bit, as he stood up while clapping and said,
For that reason, I have decided to rely more on you and your wisdom from now on and send you as the head of the delegation to the Li family!
It was clear that this narrow-minded guy, who would never bow his head to anyone was planning something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old Patriarch Cui wanted to make a move and say something. After all, he had already left one son to die just because he thought of the whole family, but one gaze from his son stopped him from doing so.
The Elders supported him, and if he didn't want to destroy the Cui family, then he better sit there and shut up.
"I would have it no other way!
I don't want to be arrogant and presumptuous, but I don't think that there is anyone who is better suited to this mission than me.
Furthermore, I am truly curious about what is being cooked in the Li family, so I gratefully accept the mission that First Uncle has set upon my shoulders."
"I don't doubt it nephew Xie, you truly are a dragon among the young generation. Since it's like that, this First Uncle will talk directly to you!
Furthermore, if they torture you too much First Uncle worries that you will have no choice but to hand over everything you have to them!
After all, even if you die you will be a ghost of my Cui Family!"
Each and every one of the Elders in the meeting was expecting Cui Xie to jump and start cursing at his First Uncle, as it was clearly infuriating.
"This is a great idea First Uncle!
It's just as First Uncle says, times are troubling lately, and there is a chance that each and everyone faces a life-threatening tribulation.
After all, upon our death, we are still going to be ghosts of our Cui Family!"
"But of course, nephew Xie is truly a farsighted person, we should do the same as well! I completely agree with you, it's just that we already have our wills, leaving everything behind for the family." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . Fɪre
Or to be more precise he generalized something specific. To be more exact, First Uncle said that they had all written a will to leave everything to the family, but they didn't specify the Cui family in general.
This was an ingenious way to put it, as this still counted as leaving it to the family. After all, their family members were still part of the Cui family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if he decided to leave those shares to some sweetheart of his, they only had to make sure that they forced her later to transfer everything to them.
"What a surprise First Uncle we truly do think the same way, this junior has already written his will, leaving everything to my little sister Cui La!"
"Nephew Xie, I know about the love and care between you and Niece La as blood siblings, it's just that she is far away, and some foreigner might try to cheat her later.
"First Uncle must be joking. My sister Cui La is an extremely intelligent and bright young lady, she is most certainly able to stay away from swindlers and troublemakers.
"But still you can't say that the possibility is zero!"
But I am not a stubborn and unreasonable fellow, as long as you show me the path to walk upon then I will certainly do so!"
"Since Nephew Xie has gone so far then this First Uncle can only hope that nothing happens and wish you a safe and grand return!"
Cui Xie understood this as well, but he didn't say anything extra and left his First Uncle to dream about the possibility.
…
Upon arrival they were welcomed as if they were in-laws of the Li Family already, receiving all the courtesy and respect they deserved.
