Chapter 410: Chapter 231: The Golden Bull is Here!_1

She Ruan discovered that from the moment he entered, the old man’s gaze was sharp on him.

There was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

This meaning could only be described as hope.

Seeing this, She Ruan immediately realized one thing, that was, the old man should have guessed why he had come.

The fact was exactly as She Ruan thought.

She Junjie indeed guessed the reasons why She Ruan would appear at this time.

Everyone felt that he had grown old and his sons had started to compete for the position of the She Family’s Head.

She Junjie did not show any reaction to this; he just silently watched them.

One of the reasons was that amongst his five sons, She Jiajie did not favor anyone in particular. To put it outright, he did not care who became the Family Head.

She Rui’s active mind and mastery of political maneuvering could have been his strengths, but he dared not rely on the influence of other clans in Lu City to suppress She Ruan.

The She Family does indeed need to deal with other families, but the crux lies in the She Family being powerful enough.

Otherwise, they would have long been devoured by the other families.

She Rui’s actions crossed She Junjie’s bottom line.

Meanwhile, She Ruan was not entirely innocent either.

She Ruan was too inclined to hide his talents; concealing it entirely within his heart might be good at certain times, as showing off too much could make him a target for others.

However, the head of the family was to be chosen based on his leadership capabilities, not his spy or undercover skills.

He was too cautious with his talents; he had caution to spare but lacked authority.

Without authority, it was hard to accomplish anything.

If She Ruan were to become the head of the family, She Rui would be the first one to refuse to accept it.

She Ruan probably does not have the ability to make his older brother sincerely help him.

Whenever She Junjie thought about this, he felt like sighing.

Talking about She Hang and She Long was even worse. One chose to support She Rui, and the other chose to support She Ruan.

They failed to even stand on the competition stage, let alone compete.

For two people who could not even enter the competition, She Junjie felt it was a waste of mood to think about them for a single second.

The fourth son had been favored by She Junjie from an early age. However, being physically impaired, he simply could not bear the huge burden of the She Family.

If it were not for She Jiazhen’s young age, She Junjie would have done everything possible to train him.

He would specifically designate She Jiazhen to be the head of the She Family.

Since there was no other hope, regardless of how She Rui and She Ruan competed, She Junjie remained an observer and did not express any opinions.

The family did have a group of elders. The people he had nurtured over the years were enough to ensure the family’s prosperity for the next hundred years until She Jiazhen had grown up.

She Junjie had never revealed his thoughts to the outside.

The squabbling She Ruan and She Rui had no idea that they had been backup options with no other choice from the start.

However, there were always exceptions to everything.

She Wan, the noble lady of the She Family, had established a connection with a Grandmaster Disciple and became the Guard of the Grandmaster’s Disciple.

This could be said to be the biggest surprise the She family had in recent years, which made She Junjie look at She Ruan for the first time.

Although She Ruan’s abilities were inadequate, he truly had a good daughter.

With She Junjie’s perspective, he knew very well what kind of help a Grandmaster disciple could bring to the She Family.

Relationships were built over time.

Regardless of how the Grandmaster’s disciple treated She Wan, as long as the Grandmaster treated his disciple well and had resources, She Wan could use her abilities to win the disciple’s favor and thus obtain the resources of the Grandmaster.

Besides the fact that She Wan made She Junjie take a fresh look at She Ruan, She Junjie felt that She Ruan was far less passionate about power compared to She Rui.

By then, he would probably follow his directive and step down as the family head and leave the position to She Jiazhen.

Last night, She Junjie saw all the tactics She Rui had used against She Ruan.

This gave birth to a feeling of disgust towards She Rui.

It would not matter how much She Rui oppressed She Ruan, but it was unacceptable to bring people from outside into the She Family.

Moreover, the purpose of bringing them was to plot against his own brother.

She Ruan was clearly anxious last night to the point of wanting to pull his hair out, but he still spoke confidently.

This made She Junjie know that She Ruan would certainly ask for his daughter She Wan’s help tonight.

Unless She Ruan no longer wanted to compete with She Rui for the position of Family Head.

The position of Family Head could not be returned once fought for.

She Junjie knew this very well.

If She Ruan lost his fighting spirit and no longer sought the position of the family head.

The first thing he could not explain would be She Long; then, it would be the interest groups who were tied to him behind him.

This was also the case for She Rui.

Just now, the singing of the Singing Melody Bird outside the martial arts practice grounds was bothering She Junjie.

She Ruan came to see him with a full set of rituals. The reason was to counter She Rui in this competition.

The only thing that She Ruan could count on now was because of Jianmu!

If Jianmu had only agreed to attend the She family’s gathering, She Ruan’s character would not be so ostentatious.

She Ruan coming to see him in full force only hinted at one possibility.

Thinking of this possibility, She Junjie’s breath quickened.

“Come over and have a seat since you’re here!”

She Jiazhen had always been very close to She Ruan since childhood. As soon as he saw She Ruan, he greeted him cheerfully.

“Good morning, Uncle Two!”

She Ruan waved with a smile at She Jiazhen, then quickly walked up to She Junjie.
