As soon as Chen Nan stopped there, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion. After all, this name, not to mention that it resounded throughout the entire Qingyang Kingdom, was pretty much it.
Moreover, Seven Great Families still has the intention to join forces to harm Nature Master Department. Chen Nan is the most important member of the Nature Master Department, so this is also relatively sensitive.
Chen Shimei looked at Chen Nan, and then said to the tribe, "This is my child, and I owe him a huge debt. And he is also a bloodline of our Chen family, and there is already an official certificate there.
We in the Chen family should care for each other.
Chen Nan is from the Nature Master Department, and his cultivation method is different from ours. At this point, I hope everyone can be tolerant. In addition, we actually have nothing to do with the Nature Master Department. It is all caused by conflicts between the younger generation.
This kind of contradiction should not be intensified, but should be found to resolve it. Only in this way can we Seven Great Families live in harmony. Therefore, I think that everything Nature Master Department has to do should stop starting from today.
So, next, it's time to elect a new clan leader. As the previous patriarch, I am not in a position to recommend anyone, so I asked my uncles to make a new decision. "
After saying this, Chen Shimei left the position of the head of the family and walked to Chen Nan. He looked at him carefully and said with a smile, "You are a good boy. I don't ask you to forgive me so quickly. I just ask that in the end, you don't hate me."
Chen Nan smiled and said, "This is not about hate or not. Do we still need to stay here? I want to see Li——my mother."
Chen Shimei said, "She is chatting with your aunt. We still have to stay here because we have to elect a new clan leader today to see if he has any new instructions."
The two of them retreated and sat down on a certain seat, right next to Chen Wan'er and Chen Jiadong.
Not to mention how awkward this combination is.
No one in the Chen family tried to be polite and prevent Chen Shimei from stepping down. Because, after it was exposed that Chen Nan was the child of Chen Shimei, everything became a matter of course.
To be honest, Chen Wan'er is not so heartless as to expose his father and force him to step down from his position as the head of the family.
But this is not something she can accomplish just by keeping it a secret.
Because, Susanna had already leaked this situation through some channels.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Madam Chen coming to Wu City and looking for Sister Li.
When they did all this, there were only four words: they were forced to do nothing.
As for the inside of the Chen family - not to mention the Chen family, this is actually the case within every big Lineage. For the head of the family, it can be said that he is like a jackal seeing fat. Not to mention making no mistakes, he must use various methods to seek power and usurp the throne, not to mention that there is such a big handle here.
Therefore, Chen Shimei knows that his ridiculous behavior can no longer be undone at this moment. You don't need anyone to kick you out, it would be a shameless thing. He then took the initiative to resign, and at the same time, he also wanted to include Chen Nan in his family tree.
Although the reputation of illegitimate children is not very good, as long as they are the blood of the Chen family and the main body of the family, they must be included in the family tree.
Besides, it is understandable for the big Lineage disciples to be romantic and happy outside. It's embarrassing to say that, but there are very few people who have seen it all because of this matter.
A fierce process of canvassing for votes began, and the candidates for the head of the family were all Chen Nan's uncles and uncles.
They had been prepared for it long ago. They had memorized the speech script by heart, and they went on stage and started spouting nonsense - ah, no, they were making big promises. Just say that so-and-so will do anything as soon as he becomes the head of the family, and he will definitely revitalize the Chen family and so on.
It is no exaggeration to say that these speeches are false and empty. But there are some practical things in it. Because there are also factions in Lineage, and there are many interests among them.
At this time, those who can protect their own interests will naturally have a vote to serve them. If this patriarch candidate is a saboteur to his own interests, then I'm sorry, people would rather abstain from voting than vote for you.
As those simple-minded people think, to be the head of a family, you need to be capable, have good character, etc.
These are all nonsense. The real situation is basically just protecting their own interests.
How could Chen Nan care about such a thing? He was just there thinking things over, and then trying not to speak to reduce his presence.
Since the number of people was not very large, the election of a new clan leader did not drag on for long. Finally, Chen Shimei's eldest brother, named Chen Shiyou, was elected as the new head of the family.
For such a result, some people are worried and others are worried. Chen Nan feels it most obviously, the two people around him: Chen Jiadong and Chen Wan'er.
Thinking about it, you know that originally these two were the sons and daughters of the family head, but now they suddenly no longer have this status. It can be said that in the days to come, it will not be so easy to mess around.
For Chen Wan'er, there is another thing that worries her, and that is her marriage.
Originally, she was supposed to marry Zhao Yunlong. Because, Chen Wan'er is the daughter of the head of the Chen family, and Zhao Yunlong is the most promising child of the Zhao Family. It's a perfect match.
It was also for this reason that when she was young, she and Zhao Yunlong walked together, acting like a husband and a wife. However, his father is no longer the head of the family, so this marriage is basically a waste.
To say how much Chen Wan'er loves Zhao Yunlong, that is not necessarily true, but there are many benefits to marrying Zhao Yunlong.
The first one is very majestic.
I think Zhao Yunlong can be said to be the most outstanding one among all the young talents Qingyang Kingdom currently. If you can marry him, the feeling will be different.
But now, she can only be chosen and arranged by Lineage, who might marry her. Isn't this a terrible thing?
For this reason, Chen Wan'er can be said to hate Chen Nan even more.
And Chen Jiadong is even more so.
If he develops very well in the future, coupled with his own operations, he can win over people's hearts with his status as the young head of the family, etc. Then, when he grows up, the possibility of becoming the head of the family is very high.
Now it's okay, it was the wall that everyone pushed against him. Now that he sees that he has completely failed in this aspect, those who were surrounding him before will definitely immediately take advantage of the situation and turn to others one after another.
When he thought of this, Chen Jiadong became very upset.
Soon, the new head of the family started to go up and speak.
This Chen Shiyou is very proud that he has finally reached this position as he wished. He knows that his time of majesty has come.
First of all, he expressed his regret for Chen Shimei and gave him a lot of face. He said that since Shimei's child belongs to the Nature Master Department, then our Chen family will not need to trouble Nature Master Department in the future.
Chen Shimei was humble and gave Chen Nan a hint. Chen Nan immediately stood up and saluted Chen Shiyou to thank him. The latter looked kind and friendly, motioning Chen Nan to sit down.
Chen Shimei said to Chen Nan from below, "You have to tell your master Yang Yugan to prepare a generous gift for this place. Without this gift, it will not work to show your attitude."
Chen Nan could only nod.
Good guy, after becoming the head of the Chen family, something else came into the account. No wonder, everyone wants to climb higher.
However, where can Nature Master Department have anything to offer? Chen Nan also mentioned this situation.
Chen Shimei said, "Okay, I will prepare this for you."
Chen Nan asked softly, "The one who secretly supports Nature Master Department..."
Chen Shimei immediately stopped Chen Nan with gestures, and by doing so, Chen Nan already understood.
He had no feelings for Chen Shimei, and he couldn't even say he disliked her.
Now it seems that this person has given Nature Master Department a lot of help, so he should not be too harsh on him. However, he felt a little sad to accept Chen Shimei as his father.
Mainly because of his status as a time traveler, he can't do this.
Finally, this time the Lineage meeting was completed and four or five hours had passed. Chen Shimei called his three children and returned to their place of residence.
Chen Shimei told Chen Nan that that is where the head of the family lives, and now, he is going to start moving. But he can still live here today, let him stay, have a meal here, and meet the whole family.
They arrived at their residence and saw Sister Li and Madam Chen chatting there. It can be seen that Sister Li is ready to die. During the process of staying with Madam Chen, she could always feel the huge pressure coming from the other side.
That sense of oppression made Sister Li feel like he was standing on the mouth of a hurricane between two mountains. Her nose and mouth were facing the strong wind, which made her feel that every breath she took was very exhausted. Sometimes, she couldn't breathe at all.
Such suffering made Madam Chen happy to see it in his eyes.
Sister Li is hoping that some savior will come to save him, but there seems to be no hope. She is the only one here. She has been here for so long, but she has never even seen Chen Shimei's face. She really has no backbone.
And as the door opened, she saw someone coming in, and she immediately felt her breathing became easier. Not because of Chen Shimei, but because of Chen Nan.
That was her child, her pride.
Sister Li suddenly straightened his back, nodded to Madam Chen, stood up, and went to greet Chen Nan.
