After the new year, it would be Old Master Zhuangâs 8oth birthday. On this day, Old Master Zhuang would announce the next head of the Zhuang family on the spot. Originally, Zhuang Liuâs father was the only candidate. After he became a vegetable, Old Master Zhuang placed all his hopes on Zhuang Liu, but Zhuang Liuâs legs were also crippled.
âAre you going to my grandfatherâs birthday banquet?â Zhuang Liu asked Tan Rou.
Tan Rou replied, âMy dad said he wanted to bring me out to meet more people.â
âZhuang Che will be here too. You have to stay away from him.â Zhuang Liu reminded her, âHe is a person with impure thoughts. 1 am worried that he might hurt you.â
Tan Rou smiled. âThird Brother, youâre underestimating me too much. Do you think that Zhuang Che can hurt me? As long as he dares to provoke me, 1 will never let him off.â
Zhuang Liu believed in Tan Ronâs ability, but he was still worried. There were too many people that day, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Tan Rou.
âAnyway, you have to be careful that day. There will definitely be chaos.â Zhuang Liu said.
âAre you planning to stand up that day?â Tan Rou asked. âNothing could disrupt the party more than this.â
âYes.â Zhuang Liuâs expression was a little serious. âThe Zhuang family cannot be handed over to Zhuang Che. Otherwise, the Zhuang familyâs century-old foundation will be destroyed. Although I donât care about the Zhuang familyâs assets, as a member of the Zhuang family, I have to bear the responsibility of letting the Zhuang family pass on.â
Zhuang Liu had his own business now. Although he was not as powerful as the Zhuang family, what he was doing was a new industry. In the future, he would definitely be bigger than what the current Zhuang family has now.
âThird brother is a responsible person.â Tan Rou praised.
âJust wait and see.â Zhuang Liu said, âI wonât let Third Uncle and Zhuang Che harm my family again.â
Tan Rou said, âIâll go treat Uncle tomorrow and try to wake him up earlier.â
âAlright.â Zhuang Liu also hoped that his father would wake up soon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was the morning of Old Master Zhuangâs 8oth birthday. All the reporters from the Capital came to the venue of the banquet. They all wanted to get first-hand information and publish the news before anyone else.
Zhuang Liu was still sitting in his wheelchair. âHave Rourou and the rest arrived yet?â
âI havenât seen anyone from the Tao family,â Xiao Mo replied. âShould 1 call Miss Tan Rou?â
âNo need. Just send someone to keep an eye on the entrance of the venue. As long as Xiao Rou comes, protect her immediately but you have to makesure that Rourou doesnât find out about them.â
Xiao Mo felt that this was a little difficult for his bodyguards. He knew Tan Ronâs strength very well. He reckoned that they would be discovered by her in less than a minute.
âAlright, Third Young Master, Iâll handle it now. Third Master, do you want to enter the venue now?â Xiao Mo asked. âMadam has already gone in for a while.â
âWait a little longer. Grandpa is watching over Mom. Nothing will happen.â Zhuang Liu looked at the road. âIâll wait for Rourou. Ten minutes. If sheâs not here in ten minutes, weâll go in.â
âAlright.â Xiao Mo waited with him.
âHave you settled that matter?â Zhuang Liu asked again.
Xiao Mo quickly realized what he was talking about. âItâs done. I found a few gossipy people and asked them to deliberately reveal that Zhuang Che was going to be the head of the family. From the old manâs reaction, he already believed it.â
Zhuang Liu sat sideways with a playful smile on his face. âGrandfather hates it when people play tricks on the family headâs decision. This time, weâve set a trap for Zhuang Che. Not only did Zhuang Che jump into it, but he also happily showed off to others.â
Inside the venue, Zhuang Che was still happily accepting the blessings of others. He smiled and said, âDonât make it too public. The old man hasnât announced it yet. We should only celebrate it once he does that.â
The spy arranged by Zhuang Liu quickly praised Zhuang Che, âEldest Young Master, you donât have to be humble. Other than you, who else would be able to step up to that position?â
Zhuang Che thought about it for a moment. The only person who could compete with him was Zhuang Liu. However, Zhuang Liu was a crippled good-for-nothing, so he did not consider him. The rest of his brothers and sisters could not do it either. After thinking about it, he was the most suitable person.
âHahahaha!â Zhuang Che could not close his mouth. âDonât worry. As long as I become the head of the family, all of you will be promoted..â
