Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the new year, it would be Old Master Zhuang’s 8oth birthday. On this day, Old Master Zhuang would announce the next head of the Zhuang family on the spot. Originally, Zhuang Liu’s father was the only candidate. After he became a vegetable, Old Master Zhuang placed all his hopes on Zhuang Liu, but Zhuang Liu’s legs were also crippled.
“Are you going to my grandfather’s birthday banquet?” Zhuang Liu asked Tan Rou.
Tan Rou replied, “My dad said he wanted to bring me out to meet more people.”
“Zhuang Che will be here too. You have to stay away from him.” Zhuang Liu reminded her, “He is a person with impure thoughts. 1 am worried that he might hurt you.”
Tan Rou smiled. “Third Brother, you’re 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.”
Zhuang Liu believed in Tan Ron’s 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.
“Anyway, you have to be careful that day. There will definitely be chaos.” Zhuang Liu said.
“Are you planning to stand up that day?” Tan Rou asked. “Nothing could disrupt the party more than this.”
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu’s expression was a little serious. “The Zhuang family cannot be handed over to Zhuang Che. Otherwise, the Zhuang family’s century-old foundation will be destroyed. Although I don’t care about the Zhuang family’s assets, as a member of the Zhuang family, I have to bear the responsibility of letting the Zhuang family pass on.”
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.
“Third brother is a responsible person.” Tan Rou praised.
“Just wait and see.” Zhuang Liu said, “I won’t let Third Uncle and Zhuang Che harm my family again.”
Tan Rou said, “I’ll go treat Uncle tomorrow and try to wake him up earlier.”
“Alright.” Zhuang Liu also hoped that his father would wake up soon.
It was the morning of Old Master Zhuang’s 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. “Have Rourou and the rest arrived yet?”
“I haven’t seen anyone from the Tao family,” Xiao Mo replied. “Should 1 call Miss Tan Rou?”
“No 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 doesn’t find out about them.”
Xiao Mo felt that this was a little difficult for his bodyguards. He knew Tan Ron’s strength very well. He reckoned that they would be discovered by her in less than a minute.
“Alright, Third Young Master, I’ll handle it now. Third Master, do you want to enter the venue now?” Xiao Mo asked. “Madam has already gone in for a while.”
“Wait a little longer. Grandpa is watching over Mom. Nothing will happen.” Zhuang Liu looked at the road. “I’ll wait for Rourou. Ten minutes. If she’s not here in ten minutes, we’ll go in.”
“Alright.” Xiao Mo waited with him.
“Have you settled that matter?” Zhuang Liu asked again.
Xiao Mo quickly realized what he was talking about. “It’s 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 man’s reaction, he already believed it.”
Zhuang Liu sat sideways with a playful smile on his face. “Grandfather hates it when people play tricks on the family head’s decision. This time, we’ve set a trap for Zhuang Che. Not only did Zhuang Che jump into it, but he also happily showed off to others.”
Inside the venue, Zhuang Che was still happily accepting the blessings of others. He smiled and said, “Don’t make it too public. The old man hasn’t announced it yet. We should only celebrate it once he does that.”
The spy arranged by Zhuang Liu quickly praised Zhuang Che, “Eldest Young Master, you don’t have to be humble. Other than you, who else would be able to step up to that position?”
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.
“Hahahaha!” Zhuang Che could not close his mouth. “Don’t worry. As long as I become the head of the family, all of you will be promoted..”
