FMLRWS Chapter 564

Lin Xuan stomped her foot in anger and returned to her seat. Just as she was about to comfort the sobbing Bai Yaya beside her, she recalled Luo Xi’s words and began to associate Bai Yaya with her boyfriend’s ex, which left her feeling a bit uncomfortable.

“Dad, what’s the third matter? Is it related to the company? Yuan’er will be on vacation soon, and I plan to let him go to the company to learn how to manage things from Minxing and help ease some of his burden. What do you think?”

Leng Batian couldn’t help but ask.

He had been considering this for a long time but never had the chance to speak out. Now was the perfect time. With so many people around, surely his father wouldn’t embarrass him in front of everyone!

If his youngest son had the chance to work in the company, who cared if he was an illegitimate child? Only the son he, Leng Batian, recognized could be the heir of the Leng family!

He had had enough of his eldest son’s dominance.

Everyone looked at Leng Batian in surprise, clearly not expecting him to make such a request.

Leng Yuan was considered an illegitimate child. According to the family rules, he wasn’t qualified to work at the Leng family’s company.

The two elders valued reputation a lot, so how could they agree to such a thing?

Wang Yaru was afraid of misunderstanding from the two elders, so she quickly added, “Yes, Dad, Yuan’er is not young anymore. Minxing took over the company at eighteen. We just want Yuan’er to learn from him. There’s no other intention.”

After a moment of silence, Old Master Leng spoke up, “Let me talk about the third matter first.”

Leng Batian and Wang Yaru fell silent, feeling a bit frustrated.

“You all know that I’m getting old. While I still handle some major company affairs, I can’t keep doing this forever. Now that Minxing is capable of managing things on his own and doesn’t need an old man like me to help, I announce that the Leng family business will be inherited solely by Minxing. From now on, I, an old man, just want to enjoy my old age. For any issues, you can ask Minxing to decide.” He shook his head as he spoke.

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically at his words.

This was a significant power transfer!

Previously, the two elders could still somewhat manage Leng Minxing, but now Old Master Leng was handing over all authority to him. Life would be much more challenging for them going forward.

Leng Batian had been thinking about getting the old man’s approval to send his youngest son to the company. Hearing this, he was furious.

Among the Leng family members present, the only ones likely to be pleased with this news were probably the Second Madam’s family.

Luo Xi looked at Old Master Leng in surprise. Why did he suddenly decide to relinquish power?

This was a blow to Leng Batian, who originally thought that his son might still have a chance at inheriting the Leng family fortune. Now, Old Master Leng had announced that Leng Minxing was the next heir, leaving no opportunities for him!

If anyone wanted to get the Leng family now, it would only be if Leng Minxing were to die!

Leng Batian was filled with hatred. Ever since the death of his eldest son’s mother, he had become a different person, treating Leng Batian with extreme coldness.

It seemed he resented his father for remarrying, and their relationship had deteriorated to a point where they practically regarded each other as enemies. Leng Batian had hoped to groom his youngest son to reclaim the inheritance, but his eldest son’s resourcefulness and the favor of the two elders made it impossible to find any opportunities.

Now, even getting his son into the company seemed like a challenge.
