Chapter 357: Internal Strife

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ouyang Tian was deep in thought when he heard Ouyang Jincheng’s words. This eldest grandson was indeed about to turn 27. He was already very old, but he had prepared a few candidates in advance. The key was that this eldest grandson was not like a wise ruler who could open up territory. The Ouyang family would definitely not be handed over to him. He was still considering the position of clan leader, let alone his own grandson.

“Just let your wife arrange this matter. Pick a suitable candidate yourself. Once you have chosen, just inform me.”

Ouyang Jincheng was shocked in his heart. As expected, the old man was prepared to give up their house. From the looks of it now, he had to think of a way himself. D*mn it, d*mn it!

Ouyang Jincheng did not speak for a long time. He stood rooted to the ground for a long time before he left the study room under the interference of Ouyang Tian’s impatient voice.

As soon as he walked out, he felt that the entire Ouyang family’s sky was dark. What should he do now?

“Old Master, let’s go back to the courtyard first!”

Liu He had heard everything that Ouyang Tian had just said. He knew that Ouyang Tian meant that it was very likely that he would not choose the eldest son as the successor. If that was the case, then his position was also in danger. Fortunately, Wanting was smart, she had made preparations in advance. It seemed that he should reveal some things to the Old Master.

Liu He’s words gave Ouyang Jincheng a brief moment of clarity. However, Liu He did not give Ouyang Jincheng any consideration and directly ‘supported’ him back to the courtyard.

Not only that, Liu He even secretly revealed those things halfway. However, he did not say that it was Huo Wanting’s idea. Instead, he pushed all the ideas to the other branches of the Ouyang family. This made Ouyang Jincheng think that this was a consensus that the other branches had finally reached after the internal strife.

Liu He could be said to be extremely familiar with Ouyang Jincheng. With just a few words, Ouyang Jincheng believed what Liu He said. He really thought that it was the result of the internal strife of the other branches. At most, the other branches only added fuel to the fire. They did not stop it, nor did they make a move. Relatively speaking, they still valued filial piety and were very clean.

Ouyang Jincheng was such a hypocrite. He wanted to make a move himself, but he also wanted fame. Liu He and Huo Wanting understood his personality too well, so when they explained to him, they naturally knew how to tell Ouyang Jincheng. It would make his heart relax.

“Are you serious?” Ouyang Jincheng could be said to be indescribably surprised. If that was the case, could he also make a move in advance?

“Of course it’s true. Madam is very clear about this. We didn’t have the time to tell the Old Master when we received the news today. We didn’t expect such an accident to happen. The Old Master didn’t call for a family doctor today, so we couldn’t be aware of it. You know, the family doctor is very tight-lipped. It took the First Madam a lot of effort to successfully pry open his mouth.”

If it wasn’t for the wrong venue, Ouyang Jincheng would have laughed out loud. This was simply too good! ‘The heavens are helping me! The heavens are really helping me.’

Stepping into the courtyard, Ouyang Jincheng didn’t feel that Huo Wanting seemed to be a little older. Instead, he was immersed in the news just now and was extremely happy.

His three sons sat at the round table waiting for his arrival. As soon as he entered, he gave Huo Wanting a round of thanks and cordial greetings.

In the end, when everyone laid everything out, Huo Wanting was also somewhat indignant at Ouyang Tian’s actions. He actually never considered her three sons. Since that was the case, then they had to make their own preparations.

“I remember that the girl from the Liu family is a twin. The eldest is someone that the old man values, but the second has been studying abroad?”

“Yes, that is indeed the case. It is said that because Second Brother’s toes are naturally six fingers, the old man only values the eldest brother.”

“Since that is the case, let’s play a game of Li instead of peach. Let the eldest brother become the second brother. If we don’t fight for our own matters, then no one will be able to help you. Eldest Brother, do you understand what I mean?”

Ouyang Lie was stunned. His mother’s meaning was too obvious. She wanted him to cook the rice. Of course, he understood. Not only did he understand, he also wanted to taste the woman with the Suoyin flower tattoo. What kind of taste was it? It actually made people so intoxicated?

The second brother, Ouyang Rui, looked at his brother. He felt a little uncomfortable. If the eldest brother had to use the woman with the Suoyin flower tattoo, then it would be none of his business to compete for the next position. Shouldn’t he also think about himself?

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts. However, Huo Wanting and Liu He were more concerned about whether Ouyang Jincheng could get the position or not. She was more concerned about whether their son could get it. However, if Ouyang Jincheng wasn’t there... It wouldn’t be easy for her son to inherit the throne.

After everyone had finished discussing, Ouyang Jincheng looked at his three sons leaving and wanted to hold Huo Wanting’s hand. Huo Wanting could never touch a man again. He immediately said to Ouyang Jincheng:

“Let Bi He accompany you. I’m completely cut off now. I don’t care about those things anymore. Besides, I’m old and can’t be compared to young people. Let that girl Bi He accompany you. I feel that she seems to have grown up a little these days. After all, she’s an 18-year-old girl. She’s changing all the time.”

When Ouyang Jincheng heard this, he was a little unhappy at first, but he knew what Huo Wanting’s real age was. Moreover, Bi He was really tender. It was rare that she had such a good figure. If she had grown a little longer... He didn’t know where she was.

Ouyang Jincheng didn’t hesitate and walked directly to Bi He’s room.

As soon as he left, Huo Wanting looked at Liu He and said, “Look, this is the man of the Ouyang family. Don’t think that I don’t know. Including my sons, none of them are easy to deal with. How is the woman prepared for third son?”

Liu He smiled. This third son, Ouyang Mu, was the closest to her since he was young, and also the one that Huo Wanting liked the most. Most importantly, he never had the intention to compete for the favor. Huo Wanting would choose to support her youngest son because he was a pure filial son. This made sense... The woman that they had prepared was naturally a woman that they had prepared long ago. It was a woman with a Suoyin flower on her.

“Don’t worry, it’s already prepared. She’ll enter Third Young Master’s room tonight.”

...

Du Ze’s temper had been extremely hot recently. He had already seen Shen Xiaoxiao getting involved with Pei Li a few times. Why would Miss Shen choose Pei Li? Moreover, she had pretended not to know him several times, which put him in a difficult position.

However, every time he read the instructions on the computer, he could see Miss Shen’s wise decision. Could it be that there was a reason why Miss Shen had to get in touch with Pei Li? If that was the case, should he help Miss Shen in secret? And how could he help her?

And that Yan Kuan was actually willing to let Miss Shen accompany another man. This man might not be sincere. If he really wanted to, would he have a chance?

Du Ze stood in the office, deep in thought....
