Chapter 688

“He can’t do it. He’s not a member of the Murong family.” The old man shook his head. He knew that this young lady of the Green Gang was not easy to deal with.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hehe, Great-uncle, what you said is not right. How can my brother not be a member of the Murong family? Our mother is a member of the Murong family, and half of the Murong family’s blood flows in my brother’s veins. Great-uncle, you’re trying to say that my brother’s surname isn’t Murong, right? Actually, what does it matter what his surname is? My surname is Chen, but this won’t erase the fact that I have the same blood flowing through my veins as the Qu family. Great-uncle, don’t be so pedantic.”

“This won’t do. The head of the Murong family must have the surname Murong.” Some things had already seeped into his bones. On this issue, the old man’s attitude was especially unyielding.

However, no matter how unyielding he was, it was useless. Chen Meng’er’s attitude was even more unyielding than his.

“Either my elder brother becomes the head of the Murong family, or I’ll make the Murong family disappear from the capital. You guys can choose one!” Chen Meng’er also pulled a long face.

The old man and the others knew that Chen Meng’er wasn’t joking. They knew that she would do as she said.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and everyone was in a deadlock. Chen Meng’er pulled Qu Haoxiang, Qu Yaobing, and Murong Ying to sit on the sofa at the side.

Murong Ying did not care about who the head of the Murong family would be. She was more concerned about her daughter and son, whom she had not seen for many days.

Murong Ying held Chen Meng’er’s hand and sized up Chen Meng’er from head to toe, she said, “Meng’er, don’t be too busy. You have to pay attention to rest. Look, you’ve lost weight again. Liu Juan and I will make you something to supplement your body later.”

Murong Ying and Liu Juan were like best friends at first sight. They were unusually in sync. Last time, after Murong Ying asked for Chen Meng’er’s opinion, she joined Liu Juan’s clothing company and started a business together with Liu Juan.

In just a few short days, Murong Ying’s temperament had already changed.

...

Qu Yaobing was happy to see her change.

Chen Meng’er and the others were gossiping about their daily lives while on the other side, the side branches of the Murong family were discussing the issue fervently. They almost quarreled.

Some people were like the old man, thinking that the head of the Murong family had to have the surname Murong and could not use someone else’s surname to take the position of the head of the family.

Some people thought that if they did not agree, the Murong family would disappear from the capital and the Murong family would be gone. Why would they care about such small details? They were right, Qu Haoxiang had half the bloodline of the Murong family.

This argument went on for half an hour, but everyone still expressed their opinions and did not give in.

“Alright, everyone shut up.” The old man was surrounded in the middle by everyone. He had a headache from all the noise.

The moment the old man gave the order, everyone immediately shut their mouths. “Let’s do as the young lady of the Green Gang requested.” After he finished speaking, he felt that he had aged quite a few years.

He had thought about it. If he did not give in, the Murong family would disappear from the capital.

“Great-uncle!” Seeing that the old man had given in, someone called out unwillingly.

“Alright, there’s no need to say anything else. I’m tired, I’ll go back and rest first.”

As soon as he said this, the people from the side branch of the Murong family all fell silent. And the matter of Qu Haoxiang becoming the head of the Murong family had been resolved.

This made Matriarch Murong, who was being watched by the Green Gang, feel very indignant. But so what if she was indignant? She had already been ruled out.

The members of the Murong side family had all left. Matriarch Murong and the others were also unwillingly taken out by the Green Gang after they were left with their antiques and jewelry.

Chen Meng’er had asked Zhou Yunjie to find some people to clean up the messy old mansion of the Murong family.

Although it was unlikely that any of them would stay in the old mansion for long, the old mansion was the symbol of a family. It could not be as messy as if it had been robbed.

Qu Haoxiang could not believe it. He turned to Chen Meng’er and asked, “Meng’er, have I really become the head of the Murong family?”

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er was speechless. Her brother had asked her this question more than ten times. “However, if you ask again, you might not be the head of the Murong family anymore.”

“Why?” Qu Haoxiang asked in confusion.

“Because you’re too noisy. Which head of the family is like you?” Chen Meng’er could not help but roll her eyes at Qu Haoxiang.

Qu Haoxiang instantly quieted down after hearing Chen Meng’er’s words. This made Chen Meng’er let out a sigh of relief. It was really a maddening thing to have someone beside your ear asking the same question over and over again.

“Meng’er, is it really alright for your brother to be the head of the Murong family?” Murong Ying looked at her son worriedly and asked Chen Meng’er.

“That’s right. With your brother’s erratic behavior, I’m really worried about letting him manage the Murong family. Meng’er, why don’t you manage the Murong family instead?” Qu Yaobing chimed in.

He knew his own son well and he seemed to be quite smart. However, he was still young and such a big matter was still out of the question.

“You have to believe in him. He is much more outstanding than you know. Moreover, he has to fly alone. Besides, I am watching from behind. Nothing will happen. The Murong family will help brother practice.”

As soon as Chen Meng’er said this, Qu Yaobing frowned.
