Peerless Young Master

"Sixth Brother, your son is old enough to get married. I heard that he has chosen a family and the bride price is quite high.

If the restaurant goes bankrupt and they can't come up with the bride price, will Hong Zhen have to remain single for the rest of his life? Or do you also plan to let him marry into your family?"

At this time, Lin Jisong looked at a middle-aged man on the side and said.

As long as he gets this vote, he can remove Lin Jitang from his position as the head of the family.

Not only can he get a place in the four major academies, but he can also get involved in the restaurant.

Lin Jihao sat on the chair with a gloomy look in his eyes. He looked at the head of the Lin family from time to time, clenched his palms tightly, and found it difficult to make up his mind for a while.

Although this time, at the request of Grand Uncle, a grand family meeting was held to discuss the removal of Lin Jitang as the head of the family;

But deep down he didn't want to agree. After all, they had been brothers for so many years, and he had been in charge of the restaurant for so many years. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard.

It is somewhat inappropriate to dismiss the head of the family just because the restaurant business is not doing well. I can't get over it with my conscience.

But when he thought of his son with a broken leg, he unconsciously increased the strength between his fingers until his knuckles turned white.

"Sixth Brother, Hongzhen finally found a suitable girl, and you don't want to ruin your own son's happiness because of you.

Hong Zhen finally regained his confidence, are you going to push him back and seek death again?" Lin Jisong said again, he knew what the opponent's weakness was.

Sure enough, hearing about seeking death was like a needle pricking Lin Jihao's sensitive nerves. His pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes when he looked at the head of the Lin family.

In the end, he chose to agree.

Just as he slowly raised his hand, a voice came.

"Granduncle, I have some doubts. Could you please explain them to me?"

The speaker was Li Xuan.

Since Manager Zhao had not appeared yet, he naturally had to step forward to delay time.

It can be seen that Lin Jisong must have reached a deal with his great uncle, which is why he served as a soldier.

As for Lin Jihao, the original owner also had some understanding of him in his memory.

His son Lin Hongzhen is his weak spot.

A few years ago, he broke his leg while collecting herbs in the mountains. He found it difficult to accept this fact and wanted to commit suicide many times. Although Lin Jihao and his wife persuaded him earnestly, he gave up the idea of ​​suicide.

But a man with a broken leg is basically worthless in this era of extremely low productivity.

If he can't do any labor, naturally no woman will be interested in him.

From the conversation just now, Li Xuan could hear that Lin Hongzhen must have a girl he likes, and the other party is also interested in him.

It’s just that the girl’s family wants a large dowry, which is a disguised way of selling their daughter.

Although the bride price is high, it is not easy for Lin Jihao to find a girl who does not despise his son.

Therefore, the dividends from the restaurant business became his most important guarantee.

Even if you think of the love between brothers and sisters in your heart, it is ultimately not as strong as the blood-thicker-than-water love between father and son.

At this critical moment, no one expected that someone would interrupt.

All eyes in the audience turned to Li Xuan in an instant, with anger, astonishment, and contempt.

Both the head of the Lin family and Lin Ruolin could see that they had clearly lost this family meeting, and Lin Jihao was obviously on the side of the great uncle.

In an instant, their hearts sank to the bottom as if pierced by the harshest winter wind; but Li Xuan's words seemed like a warm breeze in spring, making them feel a little warm.

Especially Lin Ruolin, her red eyes flashed with a faint light as she looked at Li Xuan, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, a glimmer of hope emerged in her heart.

The uncle's facial features, which were originally full of smiles, became slightly stiff, and his eyes became gloomy and fierce.

However, the one who was even more angry was Lin Haitao, who cursed: "You are a loser again, this is a family meeting, it's so solemn, how can you interrupt it?"

It was about to get five votes, so even if the remaining few were all against it, it would still be five to four.

According to clan rules, Lin Jitang can be removed from his position as the head of the family.

By then, the restaurant will be his.

His beautiful dream was disturbed by someone, and the person was someone he extremely hated and loathed, so he naturally glared at him angrily.

"You are just a son-in-law, it's not your turn to speak here, get out now," Lin Jisong said coldly.

"My presence here is not decided by you, but by my father-in-law. Before the final result comes out, my father-in-law is still the head of the family, the head of the Lin family.

Great uncle is the most senior in the family and the one who understands the clan rules the best. Don’t you think this is true?” Li Xuan did not tolerate these people at all and directly confronted them.

"This is family..."

Without waiting for Taishugong to speak, Li Xuan interrupted him forcefully: "Please answer yes or no, Taishugong."

Great Uncle's face was frosty, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake spitting apricots. He suppressed his inner anger, and his fingers gripping the crutch turned white.

As the great uncle, even the head of the family did not dare to speak loudly to him. He did not expect that he would be humiliated again and again by a little son-in-law.

After a while, he answered reluctantly: "Of course the head of the family has the final say."

“You have also heard that the Lin family is still under the control of my father-in-law, so my presence here is approved by my father-in-law;

So it has nothing to do with you guys." Li Xuan stared at everyone. If a tiger doesn't show its might, then it really treats him like a kitten.

"Li Xuan, don't go too far." Lin Haitao was furious. Why is there such a son-in-law everywhere? If he had known earlier, he would have hit him harder last time and just killed him directly.

"I'd like to ask my great uncle, what should we do if changing the owner can't make the restaurant business improve?" Li Xuan ignored Lin Haitao.

"This has nothing to do with this family meeting," Great Uncle refused to answer.

“How can it not be related?”

"Granduncle Tai brought so many people here to depose my father-in-law as the head of the family. Isn't it because the restaurant business is not doing well?

If there is no one or a good way to turn around the restaurant business, what is the point of changing the owner?

Will we then have to lead people to depose the new Patriarch and elect another Patriarch?"

Li Xuan's request was very simple, which was to ask his great uncle to tell him how to turn around the restaurant's business.

If we can't say it, we will fall into a vicious circle, and such a grand family meeting will become a joke, and the dignity of the great uncle and other branch members will be lost.

"This is not something you, a son-in-law, should worry about," said the uncle, his face darkening.

"What about me?"

At this time, the head of the Lin family said: "The restaurant's business is not good, and I cannot escape the blame; even if I lose my position as the head of the family, I am still qualified to participate in family meetings.

I would like to ask my great uncle, if the new head of the family does not have the ability to turn the tide, can I dismiss him and recommend a new one?

If this is the case, then this family meeting was too hasty and unconvincing."

As Li Xuan's son-in-law asked questions, Taishugong could still rely on his seniority to ignore them.

But the person who was speaking was the head of the family, so he had no way to avoid the topic.

“Although I haven’t asked about the things happening in the restaurant for a long time, how could I sit idly by when something this big happened?

When I learned that the restaurant was in trouble, I prepared generous gifts and went to the Wang family, begging them to show mercy.

They also promised me that as long as the Lin family is not under your control and is willing to make a public apology, then they will stop."

As he spoke, Great Uncle's eyes became extremely sharp. Even though his hair was gray and his body was slightly hunched, the aura that emanated from his bones made people dare not look directly at him.

"If you hadn't offended the Wang family, the family would not have fallen into such a situation. This is why I have dismissed you from your position as the head of the family."

“You all heard it, if it weren’t for the great uncle’s intervention, the restaurant would have closed down long ago;

I was saying, how can a woman be capable of managing a restaurant? She is so arrogant all day long and doesn't take others seriously.

Now we have offended someone we cannot afford to offend, and it has also implicated us." Lin Jisong took the opportunity to suppress the head of the Lin family.

“Even if the Wang family doesn’t intervene, we hired the chef for the restaurant and built up the business ourselves, so we’re not afraid of the Wang family’s suppression.

Why does Great Uncle think that we will definitely lose?

It's a bit unreasonable to want to take away the restaurant based on some hurtful arguments." Li Xuan made another move, in any case, to disgust the great uncle.

"enough"

The great uncle was furious, slammed his cane in his hand, stood up, and then scanned the whole audience: "I don't have time to engage in a war of words with you here.

Today, if you can invite Mr. Zhao out and he personally guarantees to take charge of the restaurant, then I will believe that you have the ability to make the restaurant business successful.

Otherwise, I will immediately remove Lin Jitang from his position as the head of the family and take back all family assets including the restaurant."

This is a complete break, there's no need to pretend anymore.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered. Since Great Uncle insisted on having Old Zhao show up, it meant that Old Zhao was very unlikely to come.

He is making a fuss about the poor business of the restaurant and the suppression by the Wang family. Anyway, he is relying on his seniority and using the clan rules to abuse his power for personal gain.

Li Xuan actually guessed it right.

The uncle knew how powerful Mr. Zhao was, and he could not give him the conditions he wanted, in order to prevent him from appearing and ruining his plan.

Someone had already been sent to Manager Zhu to ask the Wang family to go to Manchun Garden and stop Mr. Zhao.

Facing the Wang family, Old Zhao is no match at all.

This is also the reason why Taishugong is so confident.

Mr. Zhao will never show up.

"Haha, it's so lively!"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard, and then a figure slowly appeared...
