Chapter 347: The Dust has Settled (2)
“Girl, you know for yourself whether you have the ability or not. Waiting until you were 10 years old was already my limit. I’ve long wanted to hand over this burden on my body to you. Girl, you also have to be considerate of your grandfather. I am not young anymore. Look at your Grandfather Yuwen and the others, they have long since removed the burden on their shoulders and are recuperating. Girl, you can take it as helping your grandfather. Your grandfather still wants to recuperate and hug his great-grandchild.” Elder Liu whispered to Chen Meng’er.
“Grandpa, you.” Chen Meng’er was helpless about her grandfather’s last sentence. She was only ten years old this year. If she had a child, she would have to wait for ten to twenty years.
However, Chen Meng’er was a soft-hearted person. She was ruthless and soft-hearted, especially towards people who were acknowledged by her heart. Therefore, Chen Meng’er could not refute Elder Liu’s words no matter how hard she tried.
And when Elder Liu saw Chen Meng’er’s expression, he knew that it was a success. He objected to Chen Meng’er’s pitiful expression, he smiled brilliantly and said to the people below the stage, “Everyone present, this is my granddaughter, Chen Meng’er. She will also be the leader of the Green Gang in the future, the current head of the Liu family.”
The people below the stage looked at the young girl who was smiling gracefully and had an extraordinary bearing. They still felt that Elder Liu’s actions were not reliable. No matter how much he liked this Chen Meng’er, no matter how smart she was. After all, she was still a ten-year-old girl. How could you let a ten-year-old girl take over such a big gang and a big aristocratic family? No matter how they looked at it, they felt that it was not reliable.
However, the people below the stage only dared to think about it in their hearts. They did not dare to show it on their faces. Elder Liu was standing on the stage. They did not dare to challenge the Green Gang.
Besides the few members of the Liu family below the stage, the ones with the ugliest expressions were Zheng Yuan, Huang Yujuan, and Zheng Yannan of the Zheng family. Zheng Yannan had bullied Chen Meng’er many times. Now that Chen Meng’er had become the leader of the Green Gang and the head of the Liu family, how could he let them off?
Zheng Yuan glared at his daughter, Zheng Yannan. His gaze was as if he wanted to swallow Zheng Yannan alive. “You’re really a failure. I’ll see how your grandfather will deal with you when we get back.”
Zheng Yannan was frightened by her father’s gaze and hid behind her mother. “Mommy.” Zheng Yannan used a sobbing voice to ask her mother for help.
“Zheng Yuan, what are you doing? Didn’t you see that you scared your daughter?” As a mother, Huang Yujuan still placed her daughter in a more important position.
Zheng Yuan did not want to make a big commotion at such an occasion. He still wanted to save face. Zheng Yuan snorted coldly and did not say anything else. After he returned, he would properly deal with his daughter, who had failed to accomplish anything and ruined everything.
“Come, little girl, today is your tenth birthday party. Say a few words to everyone.” Elder Liu smiled and stuffed the microphone into Chen Meng’er’s hand.
Chen Meng’er looked at her grandfather’s smug expression and was so angry that she was about to smoke. After she glared at her grandfather, she still obediently took the microphone from her grandfather’s hand. “Hello, everyone. I Am Chen Meng’er. Thank you for taking the time to come to my birthday party in your busy schedule. Thank you.” Chen Meng’er paused for a moment. “I didn’t expect my grandfather to give me such a big surprise with my birthday banquet.” Chen Meng’er deliberately emphasized the two words ‘surprise’.
The audience didn’t understand what Chen Meng’er meant, but Elder Liu knew what she meant. He touched his nose and turned his gaze elsewhere.
“However, I still thank my grandfather for loving me for so many years. I’m grateful for my parents’ love for me all these years. I’m also grateful for my uncles, aunts, and brothers who have always held me in their hands. “Thank you.” Originally… Chen Meng’er thanked them one by one.
Chen Meng’er’s tenth birthday banquet was filled with joy and sorrow.
The smile on Elder Liu’s face had not disappeared since he came down from the stage.
“Grandpa, you’re really capable. You actually hid such a big matter from me. And you, Uncle Zhuge, Uncle Fatty, Uncle Skinny, Uncle Ah Biao.” Chen Meng’er finished scolding Elder Liu, then, she turned her gaze to Zhuge Yu and the others.
The people who were called out all turned their gazes away. They didn’t want to become Chen Meng’er’s fire extinguisher.
Chen Meng’er looked at the wandering gazes of Zhuge Yu and the others. After a “Hmph”, she said, “Uncle Zhuge, Uncle Fatty, Uncle Skinny, Uncle Ah Biao, don’t hide. I’m telling you, it’s useless even if you hide.” Chen Meng’er already had a plan in her heart.
She couldn’t do anything to her grandfather, but she had ways to deal with Zhuge Yu and the others.
After Zhuge Yu and the others heard Chen Meng’er’s words, they all looked at Chen Meng’er. A bad premonition arose in their hearts.
“Little Miss, what are you planning to do to us?” Fatty, who couldn’t hide his words, was the first to ask.
Chen Meng’er did not hide the truth and said directly, “Uncles, you are only concerned about helping grandfather to hide the truth from me. Have you ever thought that at my age, it is suitable for me to go out in public and negotiate with others?”
Zhuge Yu and the others looked at Chen Meng’er and then shook their heads together.
“Then I am not suitable. Who do you think is suitable?” Chen Meng’er revealed a wicked smile.
When Zhuge Yu and the others saw Chen Meng’er revealing such a smile, they felt their scalps go numb.
“So, from now on, I will only be in charge of giving advice from the back. The rest of the matters on the table will be left to the uncles. Uncles, you have worked hard. I will assign you jobs later. Of course, I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you a big red packet at the end of the year. “Haha” Chen Meng’er laughed happily.
Zhuge Yu and the others looked at each other.
They didn’t expect that they would end up like this. Before, after they knew their boss’s decision, they had started to plan a holiday. Now, it was no good.
There was no holiday, and more than double the work.
