On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

Long Ruoyu said, "Can they compare to me?"

The family doctor fell silent.

He thought to himself, "Miss Ruoyu isn't the real daughter of the Long family head, so what's with her arrogance?"

No daughter of any prominent family in this city is as noble as her.

He was the Long family's doctor, so he couldn't say such things.

"It's okay, you can go back."

The family doctor said respectfully, "Miss Ruoyu, I'll be going now. Please don't be angry, it's not worth ruining your health. Mr. Ye's attitude towards you isn't limited to Miss Ruoyu."

"He treated all women the same way."

The family doctor's words comforted Long Ruoyu.

Yes, Ye Longting was just as cold and ruthless to other women, and it wasn't just her.

After the family doctor left, Long Ruoyu glanced at the bouquet of flowers on the ground, but ultimately did not get out of the car.

Ignoring all that, Long Ting returned to the company and immediately threw himself into his demanding work.

On the ninth day, she quietly helped him clean and tidy up his office.

Everyone at Longteng Group knows Chu Jiu's place in their boss's heart, and no one dares to say anything about Chu Jiu staying in the president's office all the time.

When Long Ting returned from the conference room, his office had been tidied up.

Although Chu Jiu did not work for Longteng Group, she was by Long Ting's side every day, so she understood business matters.

Knowing where his files are located, the first file to be processed is the one that needs to be addressed.

Long Ting returned to his office. Chu Jiu walked over, glanced at his coffee cup, and saw it was empty. She picked up his coffee cup and went into the break room.

When she came out of the break room, she saw Long Ting leaning back in his black swivel chair, turning it back and forth without processing any documents.

On the ninth day, he walked over and placed the steaming cup of coffee on the table.

He glanced at the pile of documents and asked, "Is the young master having trouble making up his mind?"

"No."

"I'm tired, I want to rest."

Long Ting stopped turning the chair.

He looked up at her for a full two minutes before asking, "Chu Jiu, what do you think of Long Ruoyu?"

"She is not good enough for the young master."

On the ninth day, a single sentence refuted Long Ruoyu.

Long Ting said, "She is the granddaughter of my enemy, so of course I wouldn't consider her. I'm asking you whether you think she's worth being an enemy of?"

"She was your enemy to begin with."

Long Ting choked.

Also.

Long Ruoyu is Long Tuo's daughter, the granddaughter of his enemy, who is his foe.

Actually, Long Ting wanted to know if Chu Jiu cared about Long Ruoyu pursuing him.

He didn't want to ask directly, so he asked what kind of person Long Ruoyu was.

“Long Ruoyu is very arrogant. She has never even seen the young master’s true face. How could she fall in love with him so easily? She approached the young master under the guise of pursuing him, wanting to take off his mask and see his true face.”

"The people of Longtuo all suspect that the young master is the person they have been searching for for thirty years, but they cannot be sure because they cannot see the young master's true face."

“Assassins try to kill the young master every now and then. Who sent those assassins? It was Long Tuo who sent them. He's still a bit inferior to his father.”

After a moment of silence, Long Ting said, "Why do many large families let their direct descendants take the lead? It's not just because they are the eldest sons of the main wife, but also because they are smart and capable."

"The genes are too strong. In each generation, there is always one person who is particularly powerful. That person is the chosen successor to the family head."

"The collateral branches and offshoots are always a little worse in all aspects. It's not that there aren't any capable ones among them, but each generation is worse than the last. Occasionally, one generation is a little more capable, but they can never break the family's strict rules."

"You know about the Feng family in Jiangcheng, right? It's the Feng family that Yangyang's mother is in charge of now. The head of that family has always been the daughter of the direct line."

"If the head of the family has several daughters, then the eldest daughter will take over. Their family is strange; the best genes are often inherited by one daughter, while the other daughters are always a little lacking."

"In order to ensure the family's continued prosperity, their ancestors set rules that must be followed by each generation."

"Our ancestors also foresaw that collateral branches and relatives would gradually develop ambition, jealousy, and resentment, and then commit acts of harming their clansmen. In order to protect the power and position of the head of the family, they did just like my ancestors."

"With a personal seal, a token, and a totem, without these things, even if a collateral branch wipes out the direct line, it cannot truly take over the entire family and can only sit in the position of acting head of the family."

"In order to ensure that their descendants would live a life of wealth and honor, the ancestors of the Long family established a rule that the true core industries and core power of the Long family would only obey the orders of the true head of the family."

“They only recognize the family head's token, not the person. Whoever has the family head's token, they will listen to that person. Without the token, even if my father came back to life, they wouldn't listen to him.”

This is why, even after thirty years since Long Tuo's father killed the entire family, he has only been acting as the family head and has not yet truly ascended to the top to become the head of the Long clan.

The core assets and wealth of the Long family are untouchable by Long Tuo and his allies. Transferring them is impossible, and swallowing them up is a pipe dream.

Even the years that Long Tuo and his son have devoted themselves to the Long family have all been for his benefit.

Long Ting did not directly take over the Long family by presenting the family head's token. This was because he considered that Long Tuo and his son had been running the family for thirty years and had cultivated their power. Moreover, what happened back then involved more than just Long Tuo's family.

Many people in the clan participated.

Long Ting failed to send all his enemies inside. If he revealed his identity, he could become the head of the family, but he was surrounded by a group of enemies, and what awaited him was still a bloodbath.

If he's unlucky, he might die a violent death like his parents and family.

In that case, their entire branch of the family would be wiped out, and the Long family would truly change hands and be reshuffled.

Chu Jiu hummed in agreement, but said nothing more.

The Jun family and the Zhan family, those other prominent families, are still the envy of many.

They have been passed down for generations, and their numbers have grown, but they still manage to live in harmony. Brothers, uncles, and nephews do not fight or quarrel, truly embodying the principle that harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.

Therefore, no matter how many generations those families have passed down, they still prosper and thrive.

Even their collateral relatives are given important positions and live very well.

Only families with such good family traditions can pass them down from generation to generation.

"My mother keeps urging me to get married."

Long Ting then changed the subject to his adoptive mother pressuring him to get married.

Chu Jiu said, "Young Master is over thirty years old, it's time to consider important life matters."

"Young Master, you can tell Aunt Mu what kind of things you like, and she will keep an eye out for you."

Chu Jiu spoke these words without any expression.

She knew that the young master would get married one day, and she would have a young mistress.
