Tong Huaer frowned. For some reason, Brian's smile was as warm as before, but she didn't feel well.

"I'm back." Zong Baihou's voice sounded in the hall. He glanced at Zong Beili and his eyes fell on Tong Huaer. His face was a little unhappy, "Why did you bring her back?"

"Zongjia young mistress can't attend family meetings?"

Zong Beili's low voice was faint, but there was a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

Zong Baihou frowned, "Beili, do you know what the occasion is today?!"

"I brought her here because I knew!" Zong Beili looked back at his father coldly and said, "After all, as Zongjia young mistress, she has the right to know everything that happened in this family, right?"

"Beili! You know, we didn't accept her as the head of the family!" Zong Baihou's face was full of anger.

In the past, the most bitter person to Huaer tong was Lin Meiyue, but today it was Zong Baihou who was making trouble for her. Tong Huaer looked at Lin Meiyue, who was standing aside, and saw her holding her forehead with one hand, as if she had no intention of paying attention to all this.

"I'd better go out and wait for you." Tong Huaer whispered sharply to zongbei.

Originally, she was not in the mood to wait here for the secret of the clan's wealthy family, so she was happy to go out.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere! Stay here with me today!"

Zongbei tightened his arms around her and did not let her go.

"...

Tong Huaer was helpless.

"All right, all right! Big brother, Beili, we are not here today to discuss the Zongjia young mistress matter. You should calm down and sit down." Zong Yunshan's voice suddenly cut in. He laughed, but the meaning in his words was somewhat self-evident.

The hall was very quiet, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something. Zongbei walked to the side with Tong Huaer in his arms and sat down, his handsome face expressionless.

In such an environment, Tong Huaer felt uncomfortable all over. She sat a little bored, but she couldn't show it.

"Well, since Beili has arrived, let's just start." Uncle stood up and laughed, as if he had been prepared, and said, "I called you all here today to introduce someone to you. It's this young master beside me. His name is Brian, the son of big brother!"

There was a murmur in the hall at once, and the clans were talking about it. Zong Baihou frowned and Lin Meiyue, who was looking down, was already trembling.

Tong Huaer turned to look at zong Beili. There was still no expression on the man's face. It seemed that it had nothing to do with him whether there was such a person as Brian or not.

"Brian is indeed my son!" Zong Baihou's voice rang out, and the hall immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at him. Zong Baihou's face remained unchanged, "I have decided to let Brian go back to her roots. Meiyue is willing to take him under her name. From then on, he is the Zongjia second young master."

With that said, Zong Baihou turned to look at lin meiyue. Lin Meiyue touched his forehead and shook. He looked up at zong baihou. He was shocked by the warning in his eyes. He turned to the relatives in front of him and said in a unsteady voice, "Yes... I... I am willing to take him under my name."

Ugly things have to be covered by something. Brian is Zong Baihou's stain, but it's not that there's no way to wrap it up.

"What?" Zong Yunshan froze for a moment. His expression was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect zong baihou to say that.

"Third, this was supposed to be my family business, so you can help me worry about it, but we have settled it now."

Zong Baihou had been the head of the family for many years, and the expression on his face was still motionless, as if he were merely discussing a common matter.

"Adoptive?" There was a sudden burst of mockery in the hall. Brian stood up and smiled at Zong Baihou, "It seems that you didn't ask my opinion, so you decided on your own."

Tong Huaer frowned and looked at Brian. Suddenly, she thought of what Zong Beili said: for money...

"Is he handsome?" A man's unhappy voice suddenly rang in her ear. Tong Huaer regained his senses and turned to look at Zong Beili blankly, "What?"

"You've been staring at him since you sat down. Do you think he's prettier than me?" Zong Beili raised his eyebrow, and his eyes were filled with only her reflection.

"...

Tong Huaer was stunned and looked at him speechlessly. When did this man have the heart to joke?

"Don't look at him! He's so ugly!" Zong Beili pinched Tong Huaer's hand and used a little bit of strength to make Tong Huaer feel a little painful. Before he could say anything, Zong Beili had already turned his head to the hall and said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

An illegitimate child's opinion... Honestly, who cares?

Brian seemed to have been waiting for Zong Beili to speak. He looked at him with a smile and said word by word, "One of the conditions of succession should be the death of my parents, but my mother is still alive. How can I give it to someone else?"

"What did you say! Is your mother still alive?!"

As soon as Brian finished speaking, Lin Meiyue, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and stared at him with wide, pale eyes.

"Yes! She's still alive and well. She's a few years younger than you, by the way." Brian answered Lin Meiyue's question politely.

"Ah!" Lin Meiyue suddenly screamed and turned around to point at Zong Baihou, trembling all over, "Didn't you say... That she was dead? Why is she still alive..."

"Enough! Let's go back and talk about it!" Zong Baihou roared, his eyes full of warning, clearly asking Lin Meiyue to be sensible and not to make a scene in this situation.

But how could lin meiyue not make a scene! She was once the proud daughter of a wealthy family, married and became a lady. She had lived a noble and smooth life without any flaws, but now not only was there an illegitimate child of her husband, but also a lover...

What's the difference between this and splashing shit on Lin Meiyue's face!

"Zong Baihou, make yourself clear today! Who the hell is that woman?! Why are you doing this to me! I... I... I..."

Lin Meiyue, who had lost his mind, suddenly shook a few times. With his eyes closed, he fell straight back and hit the carpet with a bang!

"Ah! Madam fainted!"

"Help!"

The maids helped Lin Meiyue out of the room, and in an instant, the hall was in a mess.

Tong Huaer stood frowning, his body suddenly pulled by a force. Zong Beili took her hand and strode out.
