Contract Wife: CEO, Please Be Gentle - C294
The funeral organized by the Chu Family for Old Master Chu was quickly spread around A City on the second day. Many families brought their families and families to attend the funeral organized by the Chu Family.
The had been busy managing the chaotic situation for the past few days. Although he was not someone who came from a strong family, with the relationship between him and Old Man Chu, he could still take on the role of the temporary head of the Chu Family.
Ni Tianchen brought Ling Xiaosu to attend the funeral hosted by Chu Family, and along the way, Ling Xiaosu heard people from the Chu Family crying by the side. It was such a sad and chaotic scene, yet Ling Xiaosu did not see Chu Xiaoran among them.
As Old Master Ni was busy hosting the Old Master Chu’s funeral, he didn’t have the mood to bother if Ni Tianchen was present or not. When he found out that his good grandson was actually bringing Ling Xiaosu over, Old Master Ni also didn’t have the heart to stop it.
Ling Xiaosu looked around, and did not see Chu Xiaoran at all. He couldn’t help but feel a little worried, and extended his hand to pull at the heaven opposing looking sleeve, asking: “Why haven’t I seen Chu Xiaoran? Is something wrong with her? ”
No matter what, the sudden news of his own grandfather’s death must be a huge blow to Chu Xiaoran. No matter what Chu Xiaoran did to her in the past, but now that Chu Xiaoran was not here, Ling Xiaosu was still worried.
Ni Tianchen patted the back of Ling Xiaosu’s hand and consoled him: “We don’t need to worry, the servants of Chu Family will go and find her. You only need to wait, and hold onto my hand tightly while there are many people, don’t leave my side.”
Ling Xiaosu pursed his lips and nodded.
After the simple yet grand funeral had ended, Old Master Ni called everyone in Chu Family over to the great hall, including Ni Tianchen and Ling Xiaosu.
Ling Xiaosu and Ni Tianchen stood at the corner and looked at the entire hall that was crowded with people filled with Chu Family. Chu Xiaoran had appeared out of nowhere and stood at the front with a tired expression.
Old Master Ni sat on the sofa, looked at the tens of people in front of him with his turbid eyes, then shot a glance at Ni Haiwei who was seated beside him and whispered to the butler who was standing beside him. He did not know what they had said, but very quickly, Ling Xiaosu saw that the dozens of people standing in the large hall had already left, leaving behind only a few main people.
“I am not a member of your Chu Family after all. I am unable to make the most important decision for the current chaotic state of your Chu Family.” The Old Master Ni said in a deep voice. He swept his gaze across everyone’s faces, “Now we will do the most important thing. We will choose the person in charge of Chu Family!”
The moment Old Master Ni’s words fell, the few people standing in the hall instantly became chaotic. There were a few young men who looked at each other in dismay and whispered something into each other’s ears.
“What is this?” Ling Xiaosu saw the slightly noisy scene, and could not help but ask Ni Tianchen who was beside her.
“It’s nothing. I just want to select a leader who can take charge of the overall situation.” Ni Tianchen calmly explained: “Grandfather isn’t someone who belongs to the Chu Family, if you don’t pick someone as your family head by then, when the time comes, all of the Chu Family will turn into a pot of porridge, and no one will clean up for them.”
Ling Xiaosu frowned, his gaze landed on Chu Xiaoran who was standing at the front of the group, his face was pale white, as though he would fall anytime, Ling Xiaosu worriedly said: “If in the end, someone is chosen to be the boss, then what about Chu Xiaoran? Would she be chased out of the Chu Family? ”
After all, a family member of a Venerable family was so complicated. It was likely that once someone was chosen to be the head of the family, they would not be able to tolerate anyone else.
Ling Xiaosu took a deep breath. Today, at this funeral, she saw a lot of her branch relatives outside. It was said that when Old Master Chu was working as a family member, she kicked out those branch relatives, leaving behind only her own sons.
In fact, in the end, it was just his eyes that could not hold back any other sand. After all, those people used to be considered a useless existence in the eyes of the Old Master Chu.
Ling Xiaosu worriedly looked at Chu Xiaoran, who was standing far away from her. Chu Xiaoran was a girl after all, he shouldn’t be able to take such a blow, right?
Ni Tianchen lowered his head to look at Ling Xiaosu’s worried eyes and chuckled. He reached out and pinched Ling Xiaosu’s cheek, saying, “You don’t have to worry about Xiao Xiao at all. No matter what the final decision is, Chu Xiaoran will never leave the Chu residence.” Because she was the only granddaughter of the current generation in Old Master Chu.
Ling Xiaosu sighed and retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to speak with Ni Tianchen, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes from the corner of his eyes. Ling Xiaosu turned his head and looked over.
“What’s wrong?” Ni Tianchen asked in a low voice.
Ling Xiaosu shook his head and replied: “Earlier, I suddenly saw someone looking at me. When I turned my head around to look, I realized that no one was looking at me.
Ling Xiaosu completely disregarded the sudden glance at him as a different matter, but after Ni Tianchen finished listening to what Ling Xiaosu said, he took a look around the great hall with a deep gaze.
“You guys can choose a leader to come out. My old man shouldn’t be involved in this kind of thing, but Old Master Chu passed away too suddenly, so I old man can only ask you one question, does the old man’s will say who the next boss is?” Old Master Ni did not say much. If he interfered too much, there would definitely be people gossiping about it.
“Grandpa Ni.” He raised his head and looked at Old Master Ni with a weak and fragile mind, “Grandfather’s sudden death was something that we could never have imagined, but it has always been my father who helped Grandfather do all kinds of things. My father was also Grandfather’s right-hand man, so I feel that the word ‘family’ is something that only my father can bear.”
“Hey hey hey, what you said was wrong!” Someone at the side immediately raised some doubts, and said unhappily: “Old Master Chu loves and dotes on Second Young Master the most, and now that Second Young Master is back, how can you be a family member?”
“Heh, Second Young Master?” Chu Xiaoran laughed in disdain, and looked at the person who spoke just now, was a servant following beside Second Young Master Chu.
Chu Xiaoran said in disdain: “My father has always been tirelessly working for this family, working for this Chu Family, and what about him? What did he do? Why can’t my father be a family member? You want him to do it? ”
“Just because our Second Young Master is the most beloved son of the old man!” The servant could not bear to see Chu Xiaoran in such a disdainful state. He was straightforward and straightforward, but he was not afraid of Chu Xiaoran anymore.
“So what if he’s the most beloved son? “He’s still a shameful person!” Chu Xiaoran looked at the servant coldly, “You want to compete with my father for the family property the moment you return, then you have to ask whether he has the qualifications!”
