That was why they had tried so hard to make Miss Kennedy the matriarch of their family.

“First elder, what should we do now?” The second elder looked at the first elder and asked.

“What can we do? Do you think that we are Chen Meng’er’s opponents? And now, there’s also Elder Liu.” Speaking of Elder Liu, the first elder could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Of course, because of the matter with Yuwen Jing’s mother, he had dealt with Elder Liu before.

Back then, he hadn’t been able to obtain any benefits from Elder Liu. He had been ruthlessly taught a lesson by Elder Liu.

“But, first elder, if Chen Meng’er really comes here, do you think that she would have any regard for us elders? Wouldn’t we elders lose all our status in the Buyano family?” Some elders were still delusional to think that they would be able to control the power of the Buyano family like before.

“How much say do you think we have now?” The first elder retorted. “Ever since Xibo became the family head, our status has long changed. I thought all of you knew about this.”

The words of the first elder caused everyone to fall into silence.

All these years, they were very clear about their situation.

And it was precisely because they hardly held any power that they would occasionally incite the members of the family to secretly attack Yuwen Jing.

They were very clear about what they had done, and Yuwen Jing was also very clear about it.

“Alright, let’s not talk about what happened before. I have already conveyed the instructions of the family head. As for how everyone should welcome Elder Liu and Chen Meng’er, this is not something that I can control by myself. You guys can decide for yourselves. It’s getting late, everyone should go back and rest.” After the first elder finished speaking, he stood up first.

He wouldn’t kindly help Yuwen Jing warn the other elders to behave themselves. He wouldn’t do anything behind their backs. As for the others, he couldn’t care less.

Chen Meng’er and the others flew to the Buyano family.

Fortunately, Elder Liu’s private plane was here. Otherwise, it would take Chen Meng’er some time to fly from Country Y to the Buyano family.

When Chen Meng’er and the others got off the plane, the first elder and the others, who had received a call from Yuwen Jing a long time ago, personally brought people to the airport to welcome them.

“Family head, Elder Liu, Miss Meng’er.” The first elder and the others saw Chen Meng’er and the others coming over, so they went up to welcome them. Even if they had a problem with Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu, they did not dare show it on their faces.

“Mm. Thank you for your hard work.” Chen Meng’er showed a rare kind expression to the first elder and the others. It did not make the first elder happy. Instead, it gave them a great shock.

They had just plotted against Chen Meng’er. A few days ago, Chen Meng’er had even threatened to teach them a lesson. Why was she smiling at them when they met? Such a contrast made the first elder wonder, was Chen Meng’er planning to silence them? Otherwise, why would she give them such a good look?

Chen Meng’er saw that the first elder and the others had strange expressions, she could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? First elder, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take your pulse and take a look? You’re getting old. Your health is very important. If you’re not careful, things will go wrong. If that happens, it’ll be too late.”

When the first elder heard Chen Meng’er’s words, his expression became even more unsightly. No matter how they listened, they felt that Chen Meng’er’s words had a hidden meaning.

Chen Meng’er did not notice, but Yuwen Jing, who often interacted with these elders, could tell what they were thinking. The moment Allen and Baro saw their expressions, they wanted to laugh.

They spent a lot of effort to not laugh on the spot.

“I think they’re ill from scheming.” Elder Liu glanced at the first elder and he broke out in cold sweat.

Due to the incident with Yuwen Jing’s mother back then, Elder Liu had a bad impression of the Buyano family, especially of the first elder. He was the one who looked at Yuwen Jing’s mother with disdain back then. He had firmly opposed Yuwen Jing’s mother marrying into the Buyano family.

What was his argument? The pure and noble bloodline of the Buyano family could not be dirtied.

Back then, Elder Liu, who was still hot-tempered, had taken out a gun and pointed it at the first elder’s head. He said that if he said anything that he did not like to hear, he would blow his head off on the spot.

When Elder Liu’s murderous aura was released, the first elder, who was still awe-inspiring just a moment ago, was so scared that his feet trembled.

It was obvious that the first elder still remembered everything that happened back then.

In fact, he had always wanted to ignore Elder Liu’s existence. From the moment Chen Meng’er and the others appeared, he didn’t dare look at Elder Liu. He only dared peek at Elder Liu when he was not paying attention.

Now that Elder Liu stepped forward, he subconsciously took a step back. If it were not for the people behind him, his reputation would have suffered.

The first elder adjusted his state of mind before raising his head and looking at Elder Liu. “Elder Liu, long time no see. After so many years, you are still the same.”

“My state of mind is good. Of course I’m still the same. You, on the other hand, have schemed against many people over the years. Look at the wrinkles on your face. You’re almost dead.” Elder Liu was beating around the bush when he spoke of the first elder. “I say, you’re already so old, yet you still care about the affairs of young people. Don’t you find it tiring? Don’t you want to enjoy your old age?”

The first elder didn’t have such a good attitude like Elder Liu. Moreover, he had grand delusions about bringing his grandson to power.
