In the reception room came a man who Lancy had never seen before. She was supposed to address him grandpa, according to her seniority.
Lakin only had one son, which was also Lancy's father. But in the generation of Mr. Lakin, there were three half-brothers. Although Lakin ranked the second, he was the son of the eldest son, but he is a legitimate son, It was his brother Latin who came to visit him.
The Lan Clan was a big group. Although it had inherited the family rules, it had something different.
The power of the Lan Clan and the Lan Group 65% of the shares controlled by Lakin, 25% of which are inherited by the eldest one, Latin. The third son Lapin, Lahin respectively in proportion. The rest 10% was owned by scattered shareholders.
After the death of Rhys, the son of the first branch of the Lan Clan, the situation in the Lan Clan had become very subtle, but with Mr. Lakin who guarded it, the situation had not been out of control! However, everyone was waiting for the day when Lanny stepped into the coffin. He didn't have the eldest grandson or daughter. The only way to deal with him was to find a man to replace him.Latin and others had always been watching him.
The male servants of the Lan Clan would show up in front of Mr. Lakin every month and take care of him for so many years. When they were waiting for windfall, Lancy suddenly appeared, breaking their whole plan.
On the second day when Lancy came back to the Lan Clan, Lapin couldn't wait to visit her, but was stopped by Mr. Lakin.
Latin is also a character. He can bear to come here only now, thanks to the news he just got.
Looking at the luxurious and spacious meeting room, Latin puckered his mouth. He didn't know since when the place where the Lan Clan received them had changed from the study to the sitting room.His good brother told them that they were collateral, that the Lan Clan was his Lakin, and that their brothers were just "guests".
Therefore, every time he came to this sitting room, he had a sense of humiliation! Everything of the Lan Clan should have belonged to him. Even Lakin always called him brother. In the end, it was him who inherited the whole Lan Clan.
What was more ridiculous was that he had known that Lanny was the successor of the Nalan clan since he became a member of the clan. However, he never changed his mind. He had been doing business for himself in the first half of his life and in the second half of his life. He always took the position of the top leader in the clan.
"Here you are." Mr. Lakin stood with his walking stick. He knew what he was going to do when he heard his arrival. If Lakin couldn't figure out what was going on in Latin's mind after he had fought for most of his life, he wouldn't be qualified to the throne.
Both were known as brothers, but deep in their hearts, they all knew that they had tried to maintain a peaceful relationship on the surface.
"Lancy is going home. As her grandfather, I have to visit her." Latin stood still, sipping the tea leisurely. "I was not in good health a few days ago, so I didn't come in time. Please forgive me."
According to her seniority, Lancy should have visited them, instead of him came here?
"Lancy just came back, and it takes her a few days to get used to it. She will visit everyone in a few days," Lakin did not respond. He was neither angry nor emotionless.
adapt? Latin sneered. "Lakn, you are so lucky to get back your lost granddaughter. Is there anything happier than this? Since Lancy has adapted to the life there, I think we should take a time to meet her It's said that the brother was busy looking for a mate for his granddaughter some days ago. It seems that he hasn't been free in the near future
"That's right. She has been in her twenties, hasn't she? It's not easy to have two kids dragged down. Because of the connections of our Lan Clan, although there are flaws, she can still marry a good man! " Latin was pissed off. He couldn't believe that Lancy came back with kids because his biggest enemy was the Jill and Nina.
"Pick up slowly. My granddaughter deserves the best." Lakin said
Slowly? Latin repeated the words over and over again. Did he really want to find a son-in-law for his granddaughter?
"You love Lancy so much, brother! After all, she was the only daughter of Rhys!" Latin said from his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "We have a qualified successor now. Under your guidance and training, Lancy will definitely become an excellent successor. We are relieved."
With his eyes calm, Lakin replied skillfully, "You'd better keep quiet. After all, she is still young. It's too early to talk about it now."
"Now that you know it's early, you shouldn't have taken her out to see the world" Latin said coldly I've heard that it was because of her that we offended Zed, right? "
Latin stood up excitedly, looking anxious as if he was worrying about the Lan Clan. He asked, "Is it so easy to deal with the Wide Clan? There is an old Chinese saying which says people will not fight with officials. Peace breeds wealth, and the most important thing is that the two families are in harmony. " 'She is just a little girl. I should have let the Wide Clan handle this, ' he thought.
"Brother, don't blame me for be
ing straightforward. Anyway, what I am doing is for the good of the Lan Clan. Find some time to let Lancy come to Wide Clan and apologize."
"I have my own discretion on the matter of the Wide Clan." Seeing that Latin speaking with passion, Lakin's face turned even colder. When he respectfully called him brother, he seemed to have forgotten his identity. When will he be in charge of the family affairs?
However, he didn't dare to annoy his brother. He immediately softened his tone and said earnestly, "brother, there are more than one Wesley in the Bai family."
Lakin was telling the truth. There were more than one family member Zed in the Wide Clan.
It's said that he has already returned to the imperial capital. I think it will be impossible to settle the problem. " Latin finally stated the purpose of this trip, "in this case, let's take it slow for Lancy to enter the group. She is If she joined the group under the pressure of the Wide Clan, I'm afraid that she can't bear it. " Lancy had been an object of public criticism in many places.
"You mean?" However, when Lakin got angry, he laughed.
Hearing that, Latin froze, and then he quickly came to his senses. His smile became stiff. "We're all doing this for Lancy. She's young and also a girl, so she doesn't know much about business. What's more, she has offended the Wide Clan, so the shareholders also have scruples After we get out of this, we can let Lancy enter the group. "
Obviously, what Latin said was not a person but represented all the members of the Lan Clan and the shareholders of the group. Although Lakin was the biggest shareholder, he had to take the interests into account! Now they were not in the feudal society, and even the people with power were not decided by themselves. Public opinion was like this, the result of which people did things willfully and arbitrarily would only make Lancy more embarrassed.
This was not the end. Latin knew it, and Lakin also understood it.
What made Lakin more worried was that the Wide Clan wouldn't let it go easily.
"Brother's words are reasonable. I will think about it." Lakin did not give a direct answer. "It's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner?"
However, Latin was not in the mood to stay here, nor was he interested in seeing her. He immediately refused, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I have made an appointment with the family doctor. See you next time."
Lakin didn't ask them to stay. The two walked out of the living room silently. Latin saw Marvin coming slowly, followed by Lancy.
"Lancy, this is your great grandpa." Lakin was stunned at first, then he introduced Latin to her calmly.
Hearing what he said, Lancy was gasping for breath. Although he walked away, she felt strange that she could not catch him. It was really abnormal! Lancy nodded at Latin heavily. She had no time to talk to him.
What kind of manner was this? Latin snorted, with a sullen smile. 'you're really a wild kid who doesn't know the rules at all, ' he thought. How could such a person stir up the heavy burden of the Lan Clan? But it might not be a bad thing Thinking of this, there was some sincerity in the smile. The next second he noticed the man beside Lancy.
Lakin' eyes became cold. He studied Marvin discreetly. He had never seen a man like this before. However There is no one in Lakin that Lantian doesn't know. There is no such person here. Moreover, he is still so young.
"Who is this?"
"He is..."
"I'm a friend of Lancy." Marvin interrupted Mr. Lakin. He didn't even look at Latin. Moreover, he didn't like the way he looked at Lancy.
Latin was confused by his expression. What kind of friend could she make at the first time? She was almost cheated by the man's imposing manner. He must be pretending to be outwardly strong but inwardly weak!
How could a man in his early thirties be so aggressive?
Latin shook his head and proud of his sharp insight, he no longer took Marvin seriously.
"How did Lancy offend the Wide Clan? Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. I have a good relationship with Zad, and I will say something in favor of Lancy." Latin turned around and raised his voice on purpose, trying to make up for his kindness all the time.
Latin had never thought that the two families would break up if it was only a small conflict? He was eager to show off that the relationship of Wide Clan, but he didn't know that the Wide Clan had long hated the whole Lan Clan to the core. He didn't know how great his "reputation" was.
"The Wide Clan..." Marvin snorted. He had an idea about the situation of Zed.
With a serious look on his face, Lakin also stared at Lancy thoughtfully. Did he really have to stop his granddaughter from entering the group?
"My Lord, there is a man outside who wants to see Miss Lancy." Brook came in, with an odd look on his face. He was even more surprised to see Marvin.
"Looking for me?" Lancy pointed at herself.
"Please come in." "He must be another pursuer of Lancy," said Lakin, waving his hands It's a good chance to show the man who was suspicious of his daughter's charm.
When Myron came into view, Mr. Lakin was totally shocked. He pointed at Myron with trembling fingers and said, "you, you Two... "
