Chapter 2178: An illegitimate daughter
The old man’s appearance was somewhat similar to the battle armor’s President, but he was less domineering and more elegant.
Ruan Mengmeng didn’t need to ask to know that this old man must be the Zhan family’s acting family head, third great uncle Zhan hai.
“Third great uncle.”
Ruan Mengmeng felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this old man who looked somewhat similar to Zhan Kai’s grandfather. She couldn’t help but withdraw the imposing manner she had displayed when facing Zhan Hongan.
“Good, good, Yingluo, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back. Your grandfather has mentioned it to me a few times, and I’ve seen your picture before. Today, I finally get to see you in person!”
Perhaps it was the joy from seeing ruan Mengmeng that came from the bottom of his heart. Even though Zhan Hai’s legs were inconvenient with the help of his walking stick, he took three steps at a time and practically rushed to ruan Mengmeng.
He grabbed ruan Mengmeng’s hand agitatedly, his eyes filled with unconcealable relief.
“Mengmeng, you’ve come back just in time. Your grandfather has handed the position of the family head to you, and everyone happens to be here today. If you take the position of clan head, it’ll be easier to settle the recent disputes within the clan!”
As Zhan hai spoke, he was about to pull ruan Mengmeng to the seat of honor.
At this moment, a gentle and elegant voice sounded at an inappropriate time, ” “Third great uncle, you’re wrong, Zhenzhen. Everyone knows that eldest uncle is great uncle’s only son. The position of the family head should be inherited by eldest uncle.”
The smile on Zhan Hai’s face froze at those words. He looked at ruan Mengmeng with a kind and slightly stunned expression.
Ruan Mengmeng was still confused about the situation and could not help but look at the person who spoke.
It was a woman with a graceful figure.
When ruan Mengmeng looked at him, he was also looking at her.
Until now …
It was only then that ruan Mengmeng noticed that there were many people present in the large meeting hall.
Among all these people, the one that ruan Mengmeng could not ignore the most was the man who sat in the first seat on the right of the main seat.
Zhan Yang!
At that moment, Zhan Yang was looking at ruan Mengmeng with an unfathomable gaze.
There was no trace of madness and anger on his face when he heard that the share price of the Fenghuo group had plummeted in the M Nation.
On the contrary, his expression was so normal that no one could tell if he was happy or angry, as if he had completely forgotten about his old grudge with ruan Mengmeng.
However, it was his calm and deep gaze that made ruan Mengmeng feel that something was amiss.
“Uncle, do you think I’m right?”
That lithe and graceful woman gently lifted the black curly hair that was scattered on her shoulders. She had an intellectual and proud smile on her face as she tilted her head and asked Zhan Yang, who was sitting down.
Ruan Mengmeng was now certain that the ‘uncle’ this woman was referring to was Zhan Yang.
In other words, this woman with long, curly black hair, who seemed to be intelligent and confident, also had the surname Zhan, and was she her cousin?
When Zhan Yang heard the woman’s question, he looked at ruan Mengmeng with a deep gaze.
He gave ruan Mengmeng a rare, profound smile. “Xiaoxue is right, Zhenzhen. I’m still here as a father, so how can a daughter inherit the family business? Besides, Mengmeng’s name isn’t legitimate. She’s just an illegitimate daughter that I gave birth to after I let xiuhui down and was tempted by someone. If the Zhan family were to be handed over to an illegitimate daughter, I don’t know what kind of joke they would become.”
She kept calling him an ‘illegitimate daughter’, and even turned the tables and said that she’ made a mistake because she was bewitched’. It had been three months since they last met, but Zhan Yang was still so despicable and knew how to use his words to bewitch people.
