My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 837 - 838: The Position of Patriarch

"Old Master Xiao, you truly are fortunate. Your granddaughter is beautiful, and you have Mr. Yun as your talented and extraordinary grandson-in-law. Surely the Xiao Family will rise to greater heights in the future!"Li Long raised his wine glass, smiling warmly at Xiao Zhenye!

Li Long was not foolish, although the Xiao Family seemed to have provoked two major families, the Huang Family and the Hua Family, appearing to be in danger!

Yet, the Xiao Family has a promising future!

What is the future of the Xiao Family? Of course, it is Xiao Mei and Yun Hao!

Given Yun Hao's talent now, it's believed that in less than three years, Yun Hao could potentially reach the level of a Sixth Grade Martial Artist. Once he does, neither Xiao Zhenye nor any other patriarch could possibly match Yun Hao!

Therefore, Li Long now seems to be befriending Xiao Family, but in reality, it's Yun Hao he's courting!

Indeed, the future belongs to the young, and it's especially true for the Li Family. They've been in this barren mountain for too long, yearning to move to a place with more abundant spiritual power!

"Elder Li Long, you're too kind. The future of the Xiao Family will depend on the younger generation!" Although Xiao Zhenye expressed it this way, the smile on his face clearly showed his inner happiness!

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, everyone was thoroughly enjoyed, except for a few, such as Xiao Tian!

After the event, Yun Hao returned to his courtyard with the Seductive Snake, while Star and his junior apprentice were also accommodated by the Seductive Snake!

Led by Li Long, people from the Li Family left, and suddenly, only Xiao Family members remained!

In the meeting room, Xiao Zhenye was seated at the head table, with three people standing below him—Xiao Dahai, Xiao Erhai, and Xiao Sanhai!

"Dahai, I don't want to interfere with your matters, but I hope you understand one thing clearly, Xiao Mei is your daughter too. You'd better not favor one over the other, and you know very well the conduct of your son. Even if I truly relinquish the position of patriarch someday, it won't be him!"

Hearing Xiao Zhenye's words, Xiao Dahai nodded helplessly. How could he not understand? It's just that with his wife's death, he couldn't help but feel sadness. His son, no matter how disappointing or cowardly, is still his son. Just with Yun Hao's sudden appearance, Xiao Dahai realized he couldn't treat Xiao Mei as he had before!

Especially when the old master values Yun Hao so much now!

"After today's events, our Xiao Family is destined to break with the Hua Family and the Huang Family. Therefore, I hope you all can act like men and not continue the backstabbing and scheming within our family!

In the past, I was indifferent to your skirmishes, but now it's a matter of life and death for the Xiao Family. If you continue this behavior, don't say I disregard father-son relationships, I will personally send you to samsara!

Every son of our Xiao Family should be a hero standing between heaven and earth. If I die one day, remember, you must look to Yun Hao, because whether our Xiao Family can rise, or hold a position in Kunlun Void, Yun Hao is the key!

As to why him, I can't tell you now, you just need to remember my words and look to him. If one day our Xiao Family faces the danger of annihilation, perhaps Yun Hao will help us on Xiao Mei's account!"

Xiao Zhenye spoke each word like a precious gem, his tone slightly agitated, something never seen before by the three brothers of the Xiao Family!

Listening to Xiao Zhenye's serious words, the three brothers were stunned. To look to Yun Hao, what does this mean?

Is the future of Xiao Family really dependent on Yun Hao?

Isn't it placing too much importance on Yun Hao?

Though suspicious, the three brothers dared not question!

Despite their years of internal strife, one thing remained unchanged—their respect for Xiao Zhenye!

Thus, regardless of what Xiao Zhenye says, they wouldn't refute, only comply!

Their internal conflicts stemmed from their refusal to yield to each other, but as to Yun Hao, an exceptional phenomenon, they were convinced!

Moreover, they speculated whether Xiao Yaorao, upon emerging, would still not be a match for Yun Hao, as Xiao Yaorao is close to the Sixth Grade herself!

Xiao Yaorao was the disciple Xiao Zhenye took in during his training journey, later accepted as a granddaughter, making her a peer with Xiao Mei!

Indeed, Xiao Yaorao was the dedicated genius within the Xiao Family!

"We will certainly heed Father's teachings!" The Xiao Family brothers exchanged glances, then solemnly replied to Xiao Zhenye, with an unprecedented sincerity!

"Glad you understand. I know you all want to be the patriarch, but I must tell you, rather than having you assume the position, my greater hope is for the Xiao Family to have a better future, for my descendants to enjoy better lives! Thus, I wish to pass the position of patriarch to Xiao Mei!

This way, Yun Hao will certainly help us Xiao Family on Xiao Mei's behalf!

Though Xiao Mei is a girl, she is not lacking in the courage that you have! I hope you three can fully support her!"

Xiao Zhenye nodded with relief, as if he were making final arrangements, advising his three sons!

Yet at this moment, Xiao Dahai and the three brothers hadn't noticed their father's abnormality, still lingering in shock from the idea of passing the patriarch position to the Seductive Snake!

Transferring the patriarch role to a woman is rare in any family, as once she marries and has children, the family name change is inevitable!

"No need to worry, Yun Hao will not mind a mere Xiao Family! Alright, off you go, I want to rest!" Xiao Zhenye seemed to discern his sons' thoughts, speaking calmly, and then signaling for the three to leave!

Once Xiao Dahai and the three left, a resolute look appeared in Xiao Zhenye's aged eyes!

The reason he advised the three so much was because he anticipated that in three days at most, the old folks from Hua and Huang Families would arrive seeking an explanation!

And the so-called explanation was for him to hand over Yun Hao!

But would he possibly hand over Yun Hao? Neither for Yun Hao's talent nor his background, he would not yield Yun Hao to them!
