Chapter 1549: Head of the Yun Family

Only when Yun Xi became the head of the Yun family could she be in control of everything. No matter what happened in the future or how much she had already achieved, if she were able to stand next to Mu Feichi as the head of the Yun family, she would be able to stop any of her family members from causing any scandals.

She was a Yun, and she had no other choice. Such was the life that had been given to her.

However, as a Yun, if she wanted to stand next to Mu Feichi as his lifelong partner, then she had to make sure that her family would not drag her down. Not only would that stain her name, but it would embarrass Mu Feichi as well.

Her grandfather immediately understood what Yun Xi meant. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded.

Yun Xi did not expect that her grandfather would agree to her request without any argument, causing her to look at the eldest man in her family with awe.

That single nod was pretty much an acknowledgment that she would be the next head. Even though her grandfather had long passed the title of the family head down, he still held a lot of power.

Yun Yuanfeng and Yun Qingfeng both turned to look at Yun Xi the moment their father had agreed to the suggestion. Not only didn’t they expect that Yun Xi would make such a request, but they also didn’t think that their father would agree to it right away.

Yun Xi’s grandfather smiled and looked at her with a gentle expression. “You don’t have to be so surprised. I’ve already thought about this for a long time. You are the eldest in your generation, and you are all fully grown now. You are also much more successful than your sisters and cousins. I don’t see anything wrong with you becoming the next head. You are right. Your uncle has been sick for years, and he has finally gotten better. He should go out and enjoy life.”

Grandfather Yun knew all three of his sons very well. He could tell that none of them would be able to bring glory to the family if any one of them was the head.

Yun Xi becoming the first-class socialite was the biggest achievement the Yun family had ever seen. If she was able to marry Mu Feichi in the future, that would be the biggest honor that the Yun family could ever get. There was no way he was going to let the family stop her on that path. Only when she became the head would the family become better.

Yun Yuanfeng was a man who was only focused on his own future and ignored the state of his family. He didn’t care who would end up as the head.

As for Yun Qingfeng, he had been working hard as a businessman for years and rarely returned home. As the youngest among the brothers, it would be practically impossible for him to become the head. Hearing his father announcing that Yun Xi would become the next head felt right to him.

Also, as a businessman who had dealt with all kinds of people throughout his career, he had to admit that Yun Xi was extremely smart to get what was best for her at that moment.

Even though he rarely thought about the younger generation of the Yun family, it was obvious that Yun Xi was the most successful among them.

Despite the three brothers having no comment on Yun Xi becoming the next head, Yun Chuhan suddenly spoke up in an anxious manner. “Grandpa, how can you let Yun Xi become the next head? She’s the first-class socialite now. There’s no way she has the time to manage the family.”

Yun Chuhan had spent the better part of the last few years trying to remove Yun Ziling, who had had the best chance of becoming the next heir. And now, when Yun Ziling had effectively been removed, Yun Xi suddenly barged into the equation with the title of first-class socialite and was made the next head.

If she were to let that happen, then all her hard work over the years would have been a total waste.

There was no way Yun Chuhan was going to allow that to happen. If Yun Xi were to become the head, then she would become nothing more than a slave to her eldest sister and would lose every little chance for herself to stand out.

Grandfather Yun glared at Yun Chuhan coldly and insulted her, “What? And you can? Do you have the ability to lead this family?”

Grandfather Yun could tell what Yun Chuhan was plotting. She was nothing more than a book-smart and close-minded person. Compared to Yun Xi, the way she acted and planned her next moves was naive. Even if Yun Xi hadn’t wanted to become the next head, Grandfather Yun would never have given the position to Yun Chuhan.
