“That’s right, Dad, haven’t you always said that our family’s rules are not to participate in the struggle for power? Haven’t you always said that our family stands on the neutral side and only follows the person sitting in that position?” Qu Yaoguo could not help but ask.

These questions were thrown at Elder Qu one after another, causing Elder Qu to cough a few times uncomfortably. “Things are different now. The situation is different now,” said Elder Qu as he looked at Chen Meng’er for help.

“Uncles, don’t you want such a result?” Chen Meng’er received Elder Qu’s pleading gaze and asked with a smile.

Qu Yaotian and the rest looked at each other. They really didn’t know how to answer Chen Meng’er’s question.

To be able to participate in the general election, how could such an outcome not be what they wanted? Qu Yaotian and the rest were in the political, military, and business circles. Which one of them did not have ambition? However, this little ambition of theirs had been forcefully suppressed by the Qu family’s rules.

For Qu Yaotian to be able to climb to his current position, it could be said that he was only one step away from that position. He clearly had the ability to sit in that position, but because of the Qu family’s unwritten family rules, he could not take another step forward. This made Qu Yaotian feel very aggrieved.

He could not hold it in anymore when he went up to his father and mentioned this matter. Otherwise, he would have opened his mouth even though he knew that he would be scolded by his father.

“Of course, if you are not interested in this position, then just pretend that Grandpa did not say those words today,” Chen Meng’er said deliberately.

“Don’t, Meng’er. The men of our Qu family have been waiting for this day for God knows how many years. You don’t know that if it weren’t for this family rule, your third uncle would not have taken the road of business,” Qu Yaotao stood out and said.

“You damned brat, what are you saying?” As soon as Qu Yaotao said this, he received a beating from Elder Qu.

However, that unwritten family rule of the Qu family was officially abolished today. Elder Qu’s heart was complicated for a moment.

After coming out of the study room, he had been listless. Sitting in the living room, he was listless.

“Chief, Elder Liu is here.” Just as Elder Qu was sighing, Elder Liu, this rare guest, came and interrupted Elder Qu’s sigh.

“What? Who did you say is here?” Elder Qu thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

“What? You’re not old, but your ears are already worthless. Can’t you hear what others are saying?” Without waiting for Elder Qu’s guard to answer, Elder Liu’s voice sounded. Elder Liu’s voice immediately roused Elder Qu’s spirits, and he bounced up from the sofa.

Seeing this, Qu Yaotian and the others couldn’t help but worry about their father’s health. “Dad, take it easy,” Qu Yaotian said worriedly.

Elder Qu couldn’t be bothered to listen to Elder Qu’s words. He walked over to Elder Liu, “Why are you here?”

“Why? It looks like you don’t welcome me. However, even if you don’t welcome me, I have to come. I’m copying you. I despise you so much, yet you still come to my Green Gang all day long,” Elder Liu said impolitely.

“Who said I don’t welcome you? Besides, you’re already here, how can I chase you away?” Elder Qu was suddenly energized when he faced Elder Liu.

This also made Qu Yaotian and the others heave a sigh of relief.

Moreover, Elder Liu came because Chen Meng’er gave him a call. Sometimes, there were some things that she couldn’t directly say to her grandfather, Elder Qu. She still needed her grandfather’s peers to enlighten him.

“Hmph, I don’t think you dare.” After Elder Liu snorted coldly, he very impolitely walked into the living room, as he walked, he said to Chen Meng’er, “Girl, I see that your worries are completely unnecessary. Look at your grandfather. What’s wrong with his spirit? I see that his spirit is very good now.”

“Why? She is being sweet. Do you have a problem with that?” Elder Qu immediately stood on Chen Meng’er’s side and asked.

“I don’t have a problem with that. Here, I’m here to bring her back home so that you won’t snatch her away.”

“Heh, since you want to snatch her away from me today, let’s loosen up our muscles.” As he said that, Elder Qu rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to fight with Elder Liu. Qu Yaobing and the rest were so frightened that they wanted to stop the fight.

Of course, it was just a false alarm. How could Elder Qu and Elder Liu fight?

The two elders who were cursing and swearing just a second ago sat down calmly, drinking tea and chatting.

“Elder Qu, you’re already so old, why are you still so stubborn?”

“Why am I stubborn?” Elder Qu said stiffly.

“You can still think things through? Look at you, you’re already so old, it’s time to rest, it’s time to hand over the authority to the children. I say, the next generation of your family aren’t incompetent, why are you still so worried?” Elder Liu wasn’t angry. “Look at me now. After handing over the authority to Meng’er, look at how comfortable I am.”

“Hmph, if Meng’er is willing to take over my family, I would also be comfortable.” Elder Qu’s words were coincidentally heard by Elder Qu’s eldest daughter-in-law who was passing by.

Her footsteps paused and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

“You wish. However, Elder Qu, you raised such a good son, so why did you pick those daughters-in-law? Your taste is not good.” Elder Liu saw every move of the Qu family’s eldest daughter-in-law.

“Sigh, it’s fine if we don’t talk about this.” Speaking of this, Elder Qu didn’t want to talk about it.

“Exactly. The sons and grandsons will have their own fortune. Let them do as they see fit. As long as we watch from the side and grasp the general direction, we won’t let them go astray. Also, don’t put too much importance on the family rules. What era is it now? These things have long been out of fashion. Besides, others may not take your concession seriously and will not remember the good of your family.”
