Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 792 -
Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's playful complaint, Su Chen merely smiled faintly and said nothing, a trace of weariness visible in his eyes.
Lin Ruoxue also felt something was strange, sensing that Su Chen was not quite himself tonight.
"Husband, why do I feel like you seem a little tired?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a sleep,"
Su Chen said casually. For him, it was just a matter of relaxing the tension that had been wound up for so long, which was why he seemed this way.
....
This night, the lights in the great families' residences shone brightly!
When those old timers saw Su Chen defeat those old monsters, they knew they had lost the game!
And when they learned that the Dantians of those old monsters had been destroyed, they were completely disheartened!
They knew it was time for them to make a choice!
But did they have any room for choice?
No!
If they didn't want their family to suffer a bloodbath, there was only one option!
That was to take responsibility for the events of the past and come to a satisfying settlement for that young man!
That way, the young man might spare their families and allow their legacies to continue.
In their hearts, the continuation of the family legacy was their utmost priority; everything else was secondary!
On this night, Shen Mingchang decided to step down from the position of Family Head, to be succeeded by his younger brother Shen Mingsheng;
Zheng Yuxian decided to remove his son Zheng Qiusheng from the position of Family Head and have his younger brother Zheng Yuhua take over;
Su Chun and Situ Kong also resigned from their positions as Family Heads, passing on the roles to younger, middle-aged, and sideline members of their families.
They did not pass on the position to their sons or grandsons.
They understood that this was a gesture of sincerity and a statement of attitude.
Of course, it was also the least they could do!
However, as soon as they made this decision, they faced fierce opposition from their families!
After all, in their eyes, there was no need to go to such lengths!
Wasn't it just that a few old men joined forces and were defeated by that young man today?
At most, it was a loss of face, so why resign from the position of Family Head?
Most people opposed their decision for the sake of the family, as they had amply proven over a long period that they were capable leaders!
However, some people opposed it for their personal interests, like Shen Shao and Shen Lin!
Even though Shen Mingsheng was their own grandfather's brother, if Shen Mingsheng took over as Family Head, it was highly unlikely that they would ever be in line for the position!
Because after that, Shen Mingsheng would surely pass the position on to his own grandson Shen Yu.
At this moment, they loathed Su Chen to the bone!
Shen Lin could never have imagined that his collaboration with Su Chen, instead of earning him the position of Family Head, had completely dashed his hopes.
And then there was Situ Guang, who became the laughingstock of Yandu when his bride ran away on their wedding day!
Now that his grandfather was about to pass the leadership to a member of the side branch of the family, his future position seemed utterly beyond reach!
It could be said that in one night, he had plunged from the pinnacle of life into its deepest valley!
And yet, those who benefited from this decision could not openly express their support for the current leaders' choices; thus, they chose to remain silent or to offer hypocritical counsel.
In summary, there was a tumult within the great families, and the old men felt a wave of sadness as they watched the chaotic scene unfold.
Did they want it to be like this? They had no choice!
These people had no idea what tonight's defeat signified!
In the end, the old men relied on their years of authority to firmly uphold their previous decision, irrevocably so. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Furthermore, they announced that, from then on, no matter what happened, no one in the family was allowed to provoke Su Chen; anyone who did would be immediately expelled from the family!
