Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Wen Family Deliberates_1

Thank me? For what?

Mo Han only heard the first part of her statement; the rest was something Wen Biyu whispered in her heart, inaudible to him.

He stood there, puzzled, just as he was about to speak, Wen Biyu emerged from his embrace and stood in front of him again. With a sweet smile, she tentatively asked, "Brother Mo, will you deliberately ignore Biyu in the future?"

"How could that be? I’ll still be relying on you for the Yangqi Elixir in the future."

Mo Han replied with a smile, "Besides, I’ve always treated you as a sister, Biyu. How could a brother ignore his sister?"

Whether Wen Biyu was truly acting or pretending, to be on the safe side, Mo Han decided to deliver his trump card: "May all lovers in the world turn out to be siblings."

Hearing the word "sister," Wen Biyu’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily, and a barely noticeable sense of loss flashed through her eyes. She gave a dry laugh and responded, "Well, that’s good, that’s good..."

This time, when Mo Han left, Wen Biyu did not stop him; she couldn’t even recall when he left her sight.

It took her a good fifteen minutes to snap back to reality from her thoughts.

Looking out over the empty Qiushui Lake, Wen Biyu smiled bitterly. She had never been one to take the initiative, especially when it came to love.

Over the years, there must have been at least a hundred wealthy young men pursuing her, yet she hadn’t fancied any of them.

It wasn’t until Mo Han appeared that she genuinely felt her heart race.

After all, Mo Han was a married man. Wen Biyu had always carefully suppressed her affection, not daring to let him detect any signs of it.

But emotions are not something that can be easily suppressed. The more she tried to smother them, the stronger they rebounded, to the point where she couldn’t sleep at night without calling out Mo Han’s name.

Today, encouraged by her grandfather, Wen Biyu confessed her feelings to Mo Han for the first time, and did so repeatedly without hesitation.

Yet Brother Mo rejected her mercilessly, without even the slightest trace of reluctance.

Had it not been for her quick thinking, pretending to test Brother Mo’s loyalty to his wife, today could have been a social disaster.

Returning home, Wen Biyu drove her Audi TT into the courtyard. The butler hurried over and said, "Miss, the Family Head instructed that upon your return, you should go directly to the Patriarch Ancestral Hall—everyone is waiting for you."

The Wen Family Ancestral Hall? Everyone is waiting?

Wen Biyu was taken aback. The Wen Family Ancestral Hall was located behind the Wen family estate, and it was rare for her to visit unless there was a significant affair or a major decision to be discussed.

She quickly asked, "Uncle Wang, has something happened at home? Why do we need to go to the Ancestral Hall?"

The butler, Uncle Wang, spoke in a low voice, "Miss, I’m not too sure myself. You’d better hurry over."

"Hmm."

Seeing that even Uncle Wang was unaware of the specifics, Wen Biyu hurried toward the Ancestral Hall.

Meanwhile, in the Wen Family Ancestral Hall, over twenty people stood or sat around the room.

Nearly all the Wen Family clans were gathered here.

There were only nine chairs in the main hall of the Ancestral Hall under normal circumstances, with the central seat of honor at the front and four chairs on each side.

During the family head meetings, it was the elder Wen Tianning who would take the seat of honor, while other influential family members sat at his sides. Others did not have the privilege to sit and could only stand behind them.

But this time, there was an additional chair, placed right next to the seat of honor.

Those in the hall who had a say clearly felt that a significant issue was at hand, each of them meditating and reflecting on their thoughts.

The younger ones in the back, however, were buzzing with speculation.

"The Family Head urgently summoned us for a meeting, but it’s been half an hour, and he hasn’t said a word. What’s going on?"

"Have you noticed the extra chair next to the Family Head? I think, nine times out of ten, it’s about discussing the next heir."

"That’s right, I have the same feeling. The Family Head’s only son passed away early in a car accident, and now that the elder is getting on in years, he’s probably looking to choose a successor. It’s just unclear from which branch he’ll select."

"I think Wen Zhan Xiao from uncle number six might be a candidate. He’s been managing our Wen Corporation’s overseas business for many years, and I heard that he recently acquired an overseas pharmaceutical company. His sudden recall by the Family Head must have been deliberate."

"Could it possibly be Wen Zhan Yun from uncle number five? He single-handedly established the Linglong Pavilion Jewelry Store, and its annual net profits amount to several billion. In terms of revenue capability, I think uncle number five is more likely to take charge of the Wen family."

"..."

As the younger generation was discussing, a flurry of footsteps came from outside. Wen Biyu entered in a rush, "Grandpa, all my uncles, and sirs, sorry for my tardiness."

It was only then that Wen Tianning, seated at the head of the room, opened his eyes, a faint smile on his face, "No matter, come, sit here by me."

As these words were spoken, the brows of the seated Wen Family seniors tightened. Letting Wen Biyu, a junior, sit by the Family Head, above their heads, was quite a statement.

Could it be that the Family Head really intended to elevate Wen Biyu to power?

In recent years, the Family Head had shown deep affection for Wen Biyu, entrusting her with the management of various Wen Corporation assets. Considering Wen Biyu was a daughter and would eventually marry, they begrudgingly accepted it.

But now, at the Ancestral Hall meeting, the Family Head allowed Wen Biyu to sit with him in the place of honor, which was evidently suggestive!

Wen Zhan Xiao and Wen Zhan Yun, both seen by many as likely successors, opened their eyes at the same time. The two of them, expressionless, fixed their gaze on Wen Biyu.
