C2278 The Great Elder Was Worried
When she felt the strong killing intent from the patriarch, she was afraid. She could feel how strong the killing intent in the patriarch's heart was. She hoped that Great Elder and the others would never have the thought of dealing with Wang Xiao.
Otherwise, given the patriarch's personality, he would definitely make them pay the price. The patriarch slowly combed his wife's hair. After dressing her up, he led her out of the room.
Wang Xiao's private jet was about to reach the Zhou Family. Therefore, he had to go out to welcome her. Not only did he have to welcome her, but everyone in the Zhou Family had to go as well. On the day he met Wang Xiao, he was going to hold a grand banquet and invite those with high statuses to celebrate together.
Today was only to welcome Wang Xiao. There would be an even grander banquet another day. In fact, a big family like the Zhou Family paid the most attention to face. No matter what they did. They all put their faces in great importance.
This time, the Zhou Family would definitely hold a grand feast, and everyone would know about it. After Madam and Patriarch walked out of the room, they saw a group of servants busy cleaning the courtyard and preparing things.
The butler instructed the servants to be quick and not slack off or clumsy. If something happened, none of them could bear the responsibility.
"Greetings, Patriarch, Madam." Seeing the two of them walk out, everyone immediately bowed.
"You've worked hard, prepare well. I, Xiao'er, will be back soon. When Xiao'er returns to the clan to reunite, I will heavily reward all of you. Everyone will have a share." Madam said.
"Thank you, Madam." Hearing that there was a reward, everyone was excited. Madam was in such a good mood, and the Zhou Family was so rich, so they knew that there would be a lot of rewards, at least a month's salary. How could they not be happy? However, to these servants, what they were most happy about was not the reward, but the reunion of Madam and her family.
In the family, the Madam was highly respected by the servants. All the servants of the Zhou Family respected her very much. Because Madam protected the human rights of the servants. If it wasn't for Madam, these servants wouldn't have had a good life.
In other families, although the servants had a good life and treatment, they did not have human rights. Those servants had done something wrong and were often beaten up, punished, and did not treat them as people.
Especially those female servants, they often suffered harassment. However, it was different in the Zhou Family. The male members of the Zhou Family did not dare to harass female servants because Madam's family rules were very strict. As Madam had given them human rights, these people had great respect for Madam. The weak like them were the easiest to repay kindness and kindness. They respected whoever was good to them and protected their human rights.
In another courtyard of the Zhou Family, an old man in his sixties was standing under a pine tree. He was full of thoughts. This old man was wearing gray clothes and his eyes were sparkling. One look and one could tell that he was an expert and a very smart person.
"Hmph!"
After a cold snort, this old man clenched his fists tightly.
He was the Great Elder of the Zhou Family, the only person in the entire Zhou family who had the ability to fight against the patriarch. All these years, he had always been the patriarch. He had thought that he would have the chance to become the patriarch. But now, it seemed like it was going to be very difficult.
In the past, when the Patriarch had yet to find the lost child, he did not place much importance on the position of the Patriarch. In fact, he did not even care about it. Now, things were different. When the clan head found a lost child for many years, he would definitely place great importance on the position of the clan head. After all, there was a successor.
The Great Elder was somewhat regretful. He felt that it was still too late for him to act. If he had acted a few years earlier, perhaps he would have already become the clan head by now. "Zhou Lingtian, Yi Lan, you two have hidden it well enough. You actually hid it for such a long time. But the position of patriarch belongs to me. It belongs to me." The Great Elder said maliciously.
"Great Elder." A man entered the courtyard and bowed respectfully to the Great Elder.
"What is it?" The Great Elder asked.
"Great Elder, the patriarch wants you to go to the airport to welcome Wang Xiao." The man said.
"What?! You are going too far! How dare you ask me, the grand elder, to go to the airport to welcome Wang Xiao?! How ridiculous!" The Great Elder was very dissatisfied. Of course, he didn't want to go to the airport to welcome Wang Xiao. He wanted Wang Xiao to die as soon as possible.
"Great Elder, after all, he is still the patriarch. Let's follow his wishes first. When the family convenes a meeting and revokes his position as patriarch, you won't have to listen to his orders anymore." This man and the Grand Elder were on the same side.
"Zhou Lingtian's intention is very obvious. He wants me to lower my head. Furthermore, he deliberately arranged for me to go to the airport to welcome Wang Xiao. He also indirectly told me not to try to take the position of patriarch." The Great Elder clenched his fists and said.
"Great Elder, what right does Zhou Lingtian have to be the patriarch? It's just that his strength is relatively strong. As for his contribution to the family, he is far inferior to you. All these years, if it wasn't for you, the family would have declined a long time ago. "Therefore, based on reason, the position of Patriarch should be yours." The man said angrily.
"What's the use of telling me all this? You should tell him" The Great Elder said.
The man continued, "What's more infuriating is that the patriarch has plans to pass the position to Wang Xiao. Why should we? We can't accept it anyway. Who does Wang Xiao think he is? Does he have the right to be the patriarch of our Zhou Family? "
"Wang Xiao is indeed very capable. Not only is he strong, but he also has good management skills. According to what I know, he advanced from Yellow Rank Master-hand to Celestial Rank in just a few short years, and even established the Huaxing Gang. Such talent and ability are truly rare." The Great Elder said worriedly.
He felt the pressure. Whether it was Wang Xiao or Patriarch Zhou Lingtian, both of them were very capable and capable. If these two father and son joined hands, would he still be the patriarch? The chances of him becoming the patriarch were very slim.
"Great Elder, are you going to the airport?" The man asked.
"Of course, I want to go. I want to see how capable Wang Xiao is." The Great Elder said with a serious expression.2
"Yes, I must go, I must go. I want that Wang Xiao kid to see your prestige and dignity." The man flattered.
"Alright, stop sucking up. Quickly arrange for dozens of people and the convoy. Let's go now." The Great Elder waved his hand. Although he didn't want to go, he wasn't the patriarch yet. In the family, the current patriarch, Zhou Lingtian, had the final say.
"Great Elder, it's fine to just bring a few people with him. Why would he create such a large group? Furthermore, does that brat Wang Xiao have the right to send so many people to welcome him?" The man said.
"Why do we need to create a conflict with them at such a crucial time? We can either hit them with a single strike. Or stay as still as a mountain." The Great Elder said.
"Yes, your subordinate understands. I'll do it right away." The man turned around and left.
When the man left, a ray of light shot out from the Great Elder's eyes. However, as soon as the ray of light appeared, it disappeared in an instant. "Zhou Lingtian, I want to see how you two are working together." The Great Elder muttered to himself.
Wang Xiao and Elder Zhou were sitting in the cabin of the plane. They were looking at the scenery outside. Tastes the wine. People with money and status lived a comfortable life. They lived a carefree life. Any bottle of wine in front of them was worth more than a hundred thousand yuan. For ordinary people, they could not afford such expensive things. For ordinary people, it was a luxury. Even if they worked hard for many years, they could not afford this bottle of wine.
Although the red color was not bad, Wang Xiao did not feel anything after drinking it. Perhaps it was because his state of mind was different, so when he tasted the red wine, he felt different. Finally, he arrived in the sky above the capital. In the sky, there was no clouds for ten thousand miles, and the densely packed skyscrapers below seemed very small. Looking down from a very high altitude, the skyscrapers below seemed very small.
Although there were no clouds in the sky above the capital, Wang Xiao could vaguely see clouds rolling and thousands of auspicious qi intertwining in the sky above the capital.
From these auspicious qi and clouds, it could be seen that the dynasty was very lucky. Because it was peaceful and prosperous now, even if there were a few corrupt officials, it would be hard to affect the fate of the dynasty. The more peaceful the era was, the more people lived a peaceful and happy life, and the more prosperous the dynasty's fate was.
Perhaps many people were dissatisfied with the current situation and felt that it was not as they wished. They complained that they did not have money. But these people did not think about how important a stable life was.
As long as they could work in peace and accompany their wife and children, grow up with their children, and watch their children grow up day by day, these were the greatest happiness in their lives.
Decades ago, the invasion of Turtle Small Island Country had caused many families to fall apart. Many people could not see their children grow up, and could not accompany their parents and children. Today's peace and prosperity was indeed not easy to come by. It was exchanged for with the lives of hundreds to tens of millions of people.
Perhaps there would be people who would complain. Some people had connections, so they became rich. However, they did not have anything to do with it, so they could only live an ordinary life. But they only saw the side of injustice, but they could not see the side of fairness.
The heavens gave you a healthy body, a healthy body with four limbs. What right do you have to complain? In the current Peaceful World, there were many people who didn't care. They relied on their own hard work to walk the path of success step by step.
That auspicious cloud and auspicious energy were not what ordinary people could see. Hopefully, this Peaceful World could last for tens of thousands of years. Hopefully, the war would never come.
The war between countries, the great destructive power, and the destructive power were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It far exceeded the influence of the battle between sects.
For example, Wang Xiao's Huaxing Gang and Life Ending House. Even if they fought fiercely, they were only two sects. Their destructive power and influence were limited. They could only affect a few hundred people at most. However, if the war between countries affected the entire country, then there would be billions of people.
Wang Xiao could feel it. This time, he wasn't going to the Zhou Family directly. It seemed like he was going to the airport in the capital. As he was very curious, he said to Elder Zhou, "Elder Zhou, the route we are taking doesn't seem to be the Zhou Family."
"Yes." "We are going to land at the airport in Jingdu."
"Why don't we just go to the Zhou Family?" Wang Xiao asked.
The Zhou Family had a private airport. As long as they stayed there, they would be able to reach the Zhou Family. However, why did Elder Zhou and the others stop the plane in the capital?
"Gang Master Wang, because you have returned to the Zhou Family, Madam and Patriarch have to welcome you in a grand manner. They want everyone in Jingdu to know about this, so they arranged for someone to welcome you at the airport in Jingdu." Elder Zhou explained.
