Chapter 285 The Family Tree
“You brat, you’re asking for a spanking today, aren’t you? Be a good girl and drink your milk.” Although Elder Liu was reprimanding her, there was nothing else in his tone other than indulgence. Chen Meng’er shrunk her head and continued to pretend to be a good girl.
After settling Chen Meng’er, Elder Liu put on a serious expression. “When I came back this time, I already said that I want to put my Meng’er’s name on the family tree. Today, it’s all for this matter. Everyone, do you have any objections?” Elder Liu’s sharp gaze was like a knife as he scanned the surroundings.
This made those who wanted to stand up and say that they did not agree, scared. They did not dare to stand up at all.
Chen Meng’er was shocked when she heard her grandfather’s words. Her grandfather had said before that he wanted to put her name on the family tree, but Chen Meng’er really didn’t take this matter to heart. It could be said that she had long thrown this matter to the back of her mind. She didn’t expect that her grandfather would actually be serious, he would actually do this before they left.
“Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er put down the milk cup and called out in a low voice.
“Meng’er, be good. With grandpa here, grandpa will take care of it.” Elder Liu comforted Chen Meng’er by rubbing her hair. Then, he raised his head and said to the other members of the Liu family in the room, “Since everyone has no objections, then Zhuge, go and get the family tree.”
“Uncle, this… aren’t you a little too hasty? Although she is your adopted granddaughter, and you may have treated her as your biological granddaughter, she is not a member of our Liu family after all, and the blood of our Liu family does not flow in her body. You want to put her name on the family tree, this matter…” Liu Jiahao of the second branch finally could not hold it in, his legs trembled as he stood up and said.
Liu Jiahao knew that if he did not stand up now and say that Chen Meng’er’s name was on the family tree, then he would have no chance at all. Looking at Elder Liu’s stance, it seemed like he was going to hand the Liu family and the Green Gang over to this so-called god-granddaughter who appeared out of nowhere.
“I have never done anything rash. This decision has been on my mind for a long time. Also, I think that all of you might have made a mistake. Actually, I did not call you here today to seek your opinions. I just wanted to inform you. After all, all of you are members of the Liu family. I want you to bear witness and remember that in the future, Chen Meng’er is a member of the Liu family. Don’t be like some people who have had ideas of going too far and offend someone you can’t offend,” Elder Liu said with a cold smile.
Elder Liu’s words made the others who wanted to stand up and say something after Liu Jiahao immediately dismiss this idea.
Chen Meng’er, who was sitting next to Elder Liu, was holding a cup and drinking milk. Her eyes were wide open, and they kept rolling around, she said silently in her heart, “Grandpa, it seems that you haven’t asked for my opinion.” However, it was obvious that Chen Meng’er wouldn’t stand up and say that she opposed it, even though she really didn’t like the Liu family, she also didn’t like the status of the Liu family, but she cared about her grandfather. She didn’t want him to be sad. Since her grandfather wanted her to become a member of the Liu family and become his legitimate granddaughter, she would gladly agree.
Zhuge Yu’s actions weren’t slow either. Just when Elder Liu shocked everyone, he walked in with the family tree. “Sir, the family tree is here.”
“En.” Elder Liu stood up. “Skinny, bring me my pen and ink. I’ll write it myself.” Although Elder Liu had the family tree, he didn’t have the rules of those ancient families. To write the names of the clansmen on the family tree, as long as the family head wrote it himself, it would be fine.
Skinny was very perceptive. He had long prepared the pen and ink that Elder Liu wanted. When he heard Elder Liu call out to him, he brought his things and walked over.
Elder Liu picked up the brush, flipped open the family tree, and solemnly wrote Chen Meng’er’s name on the family tree of the seven branches.
When Elder Liu wrote Chen Meng’er’s name on the family tree, Chen Meng’er was drinking milk and eating biscuits without a care in the world. As for the people of the second and third branches of the Liu family, their expressions were extremely ugly. They were unwilling. They were very unwilling. However, other than being unwilling, they could do nothing else. They had seen the end of the big branch. The big branch that used to be so powerful was now just an empty shell. Liu Xiguo was almost driven out of the Liu family. If he was really driven out of the Liu family, then the rest of their lives would be over.
AS
Therefore, they were full of unwillingness, but they didn’t dare to stand out and oppose
it
Just like that, under the unwillingness of some members of the Liu family and Chen Meng’er’s indifferent attitude, Chen Meng’er’s name was recorded in the family tree of the Liu family, and she became a member of the Liu family.
Elder Liu looked at the family tree and saw Chen Meng’er’s name in their family’s name. He revealed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
