Chapter 961 A Little Sincere

Looking at grandma and Duosuo's expressions, they knew that they must have reached some kind of consensus.

Tong Huaer narrowed his eyes. The huge Dongfangjia already had the status of today, but it couldn't even tolerate the feelings of two old people who were decades late!

Two white-haired old men said to them, "Forget it, we gave up."

"What if I become the head of the Dongfang family?"

Tong Huaer stood up abruptly, his cold voice saying word for word.

"What?" Everyone in the hall was shocked by her words.

"I said, I inherited the Dongfangjia! The owner of the Dongfangjia is no longer grandma, so she can be with Teacher Duosuo, right? I abide by the rules of the Dongfangjia and will never marry anyone else; but grandma doesn't have to bear the shackles of the Dongfangjia anymore!"

"Huaer!" Dongfang Furen looked at her in shock, frowning and turning to look at Duosuo.

Duosuo frowned and coughed, "Little disciple, don't..."

"Shut up!" Tong Huaer did not look back. His cold eyes were still on the Dongfangjia elders, "Teacher, you are not my grandfather yet. Don't worry about the Dongfangjia."

"Elders, what do you say?" Tong Huaer only wanted their answers.

"This..." The elders looked different for a moment.

In fact, according to tong Huaer, if she really inherited the Dongfangjia, then no one could make things difficult for Dongfang Furen.

But these people still couldn't let go of the rules of the Dongfangjia, and Dongfang Furen was a famous person, even if she no longer ran the Dongfangjia, the prestige was still there, and others would still pay attention to her.

Naturally, these people still didn't want her to be with Duosuo, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it, and the conversation fell into a stalemate.

"Huaer, although what you said makes sense,... You're still inexperienced. It's too early to take over the Dongfangjia. I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

After a long silence, an elder of the Dongfangjia spoke of her inexperience.

Tong Huaer smiled and curled his lips, "The Dongfangjia has never been the only one who can make the decisions. Even the elders sitting here have contributed a lot to the Dongfangjia. Even if I am inexperienced now, grandma and Situ Wei will help me. There is nothing to worry about. Since all the elders think that after I take over the Dongfang family, grandma and Teacher Duosuo will have no problem together, then this matter is settled. Yes! Arrange a date for the selection!"

After all, he had been with Dongfang Furen for a while, and now Tong Huaer's words had a little more of the master's momentum.

The elders immediately frowned, "But..."

"I hope that before you speak, you can think about the contributions grandma has made to this family over the years. She just wants to live the life she thought of in her old age without harming the interests of the Dongfangjia at all. On the contrary, how much does the Dongfangjia owe her? Who among you has sacrificed for the Dongfangjia like her?"

The hall was silent for a moment as the decisive words resounded.

Dongfang Furen sat in the wheelchair and lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Even the iron lady was a daughter's heart.

For the sake of the family, grandma did not hesitate to give up the person she loved; her daughter passed away, her whereabouts were unknown, this old man experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, but she still took responsibility for the Dongfangjia; even if she was unable to move in a wheelchair, she still thought about and considered the interests of the Dongfangjia every day.

But what did this family give her?

Besides responsibility, is it a shackle?

One after another, until she died, these people refused to let her untie them!

Duosuo lowered his head slightly and patted Dongfang Furen on the shoulder with his big hand. His soft voice seemed to be absent, but it was also like patting everyone's heart.

"Sister-in-law, we know that you want this family... We don't mean that either, eh..." After a long time, an elder of the Zongjia sighed and said, "Since we've already said this, sister-in-law, we don't want to make things difficult for you anymore, just do as Huaer said."

Dongfang Furen and Duosuo looked up almost at the same time with the same disbelief in their eyes.

"Sister-in-law, it's been hard on you all these years."

Another elder sighed and turned away.

Everyone else sighed and left.

Dongfang Furen looked straight at their backs, suddenly holding his face in both hands, he lowered his head and let out a whimper.

"It's all right, stop crying. You've been seen like this, and your image is gone... The little apprentice has already solved it. Isn't that good... Stop crying... What if you get a heart attack at a young age?"

Duosuo squatted in front of Dongfang Furen and patted her comfortingly as she talked.

Tong Huaer smiled, suddenly feeling a little hot in his eyes. He bit his lip, turned and walked out quickly.

It was only now, after decades, that time truly belonged to the old couple.

Tong Huaer walked quickly to the garden, took a long breath, took out his phone, looked at the screen for a while, and flipped out the text function.

"Zong Beili, I did something very meaningful today. For the first time, I thought that I could protect the people I wanted to protect."

Sending the message, Tong Huaer held his phone and looked at the garden in front of him.

In the future, she would stay here and do what her grandmother had done before. She would do her best to protect the family behind her until someone came to take her place.

"Hum..."

The phone suddenly rang.

Tong Huaer looked down, his eyes flashing, and picked up the phone, "Lan Shaoyan, why did you call me?"

"Why can't I call you?" On the other side of the phone, Lan Shaoyan's evil face froze and he frowned evilly, "Tong Tong, it seems that you have excluded me from your life these days?!"

What he said...

Wasn't he just outside of her life?

Knowing that these words were not flattering, Tong Huaer swallowed them back and smiled awkwardly, "I just said the wrong thing. Actually, I wanted to ask you, why did you think of calling me?"

"Heh..." Lan Shaoyan sneered, knowing that she was lying and was too lazy to argue with her. His deep voice was lazy, "I heard you went back to the Dongfangjia?" The important thing is that Zong Beili hasn't followed.

"Well, I came back a while ago. I called you before I left. You turned off your phone, so I didn't say goodbye to you." Tong Huaer said.

Lan Shaoyan had been busy looking for Brian, and they hadn't contacted each other for a long time.

"Say goodbye and just make a phone call. Can you be a little sincere?" Lan Shaoyan said disdainfully.
