Qu Haoxiang looked at Chen Meng’er for help. He had never seen his grandfather so difficult to deal with.
Chen Meng’er was already used to it. Didn’t Elder Liu throw a childish tantrum in front of her from time to time? Therefore, Chen Meng’er was very adept at handling such matters and she was also quite experienced.
“Grandpa, there is a reason why we did not tell you about this at the first moment.” Chen Meng’er let go of Madam Qu’s hand and moved to Elder Qu’s side. She reached out to hold Elder Qu’s hand and shook it as she spoke coquettishly.
Elder Qu still fell for Chen Meng’er’s trick. As a result, the anger on Elder Qu’s face had been reduced by half. However, the proud Elder Qu still maintained a straight face and said, “Then tell me, what is the reason?”
“If we had told you in advance that we wanted my brother to take over the Murong family and become the head of the Murong family, would you have agreed?” Chen Meng’er asked in return.
“Of course I wouldn’t have agreed.” Elder Qu answered without even thinking. Qu Haoxiang was his grandson, and his surname was Qu.
“That’s right, we knew that you would definitely not agree, that’s why we hid it from you. Grandpa, you must be thinking that my brother’s surname is Qu, but he became the head of the Murong family, what a shame.” Chen Meng’er’s words hit the nail on the head of Elder Qu’s head. “But, my brother and I have different thoughts from you. My brother’s surname is Qu, and he is also a child of the Qu family, but this doesn’t prevent him from becoming the head of the Murong family. Moreover, both my brother and I would make this move. I think you should have guessed it. In this circle in the capital, sometimes, the power of your external family was also very important. Before the Murong family had any problems, my mother’s personality was so soft. In the Qu family, no one dared to openly give her a hard time in front of her. However, when the Murong family began to fall, the situation was completely different. Grandpa, my thoughts were very simple. I just wanted to protect my family from being bullied. Originally, I wouldn’t have gone to look for my brother for this matter. After all, just like you said, his surname was Qu. However, you also know about the burden on my shoulders now. If the Murong family were to be added to it, I reckon that I wouldn’t even have the time to sleep at night.” Chen Meng’er was deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of Elder Qu. “And now, with my brother helping me share the burden, I feel much more relaxed. Of course, if you really have any objections, I’ll take over the Murong family.”
After hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, his heart ached. In his heart, this granddaughter was much more important than the rules. “Grandpa doesn’t really care. I am only angry because the two of you hid it from me. Since Haoxiang has taken over the Murong family and become the head of the Murong family, then do your best and don’t embarrass the Qu family.”
Elder Qu’s words made Qu Haoxiang let out a long sigh of relief. He stood at attention to Elder Qu and saluted, “Yes, Grandpa.”
“Ahem, if you have anything you don’t understand in the future, you can come and ask me. You can also ask Meng’er. Although the two of you were born at the same time, your sister knows a lot more than you do.” Speaking of this, Elder Qu’s heart was filled with pride.
“Grandpa, I understand. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask my sister for advice,” Qu Haoxiang said seriously.
