For these top wealthy families standing in Yandu, Yang Chen knew very well how important they were to their direct bloodline.
At this time, Ye Jizong said that if Yang Chen was willing to bring Qin Xi to the Ye family to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, he would pass the title of head of the family to Yang Chen.
"But, you must change your surname to Ye!"
Ye Jizong added.
"Father, he is just a person with a foreign surname. Even if he changes his surname to Ye, he is still an outsider after all. How can you give him the position of the Ye family?"
After a brief silence, Ye Cang stood up first and said emotionally.
He was already very uncomfortable being dismissed as the head of the family, but now Ye Jizong has plans to pass the position of head of the family to Yang Chen. How can he accept this?
If it weren't for Yang Chen, the birthday banquet had already begun, and Ye Jizong might have announced to the public that he, Ye Cang, would soon succeed to the throne and take charge of the Ye family.
At this time, his inner hatred for Yang Chen became even stronger.
"Grandpa, the second uncle is right. He is just an outsider after all. If a family, even the head of the family is not a person with family blood, then what is the meaning of the existence of this family?"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Wushuang also stood up and said.
Originally, after Ye Cang was dismissed as the heir, he was the most promising person. As for Ye Man, for him, it was just a little stressful, that's all.
But what surprised him was that Ye Jizong wanted an outsider to be the head of the Ye family.
After Ye Man was stunned for a moment, he looked surprised and quickly urged: "Yang Chen, why don't you kneel down and thank grandpa!"
"Ye Man, are you planning to give away all the hundreds of years of Ye family's foundation to an outsider?" Ye Cang said angrily.
"ridiculous!"
Ye Man smiled sarcastically: "Yang Chen is my son-in-law, how come he has become an outsider? Is it only reasonable for my father to pass on the position of head of the family to you?"
"Besides, my father has already decided, so what qualifications do you have to interfere in what my father has decided?"
"Or is it that, after being the heir for so many years, you have long been accustomed to exercising the rights of the head of the family?"
Ye Man said unceremoniously.
Ye Cang's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the gloomy Ye Jizong and said in panic: "Ye Man, don't talk nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense again? It's obvious that you are refuting my father's decision. You have already blocked it with words. Aren't you meddling in my father's affairs?"
Ye Man asked with a sneer.
In this case, she didn't mind giving Ye Cang a hard kick.
Ye Cang has been weighing on her for so many years, and she finally had to wait for today's opportunity, so she naturally has to cherish it.
Yang Chen is her son-in-law. Once Yang Chen inherits the position of the head of the Ye family, then she will be the mother-in-law of the head of the family. In the Ye family, wouldn't it mean that one person is inferior to ten thousand people?
The current result is more perfect than what she planned before.
"Sister-in-law, my second uncle is also thinking about the Ye family. Is it too much for you to say this to my second uncle?"
"Yang Chen is your son-in-law, so you naturally hope that he will inherit the position of head of the family."
"But, after all, he is not from the Ye family. Even if he changes his surname, it will not change the fact that he is an outsider."
"What our Ye family values most is our direct bloodline. No matter how outstanding he is, so what?"
Ye Wushuang opened his mouth and immediately pointed his finger at Ye Man.
For a time, Ye Cang and Ye Wushuang reached a consensus and jointly dealt with Ye Man.
Yang Chen never expressed his stance, he just smiled and looked at all this.
Ye Jizong's proposal to let him succeed as the head of the family was indeed beyond his expectation, which also showed how extraordinary Ye Jizong was.
He also risked his life for the development of the Ye family.
Just like what Ye Cang and Ye Wushuang said, no matter what, it can't change the fact that Yang Chen is an outsider.
Once Yang Chen has a different intention, wouldn't everything in the Ye family become Yang Chen's wedding dress?
"Shut up, everyone!"
Just when Ye Cang, Ye Wushuang, and Ye Man were arguing with each other, Ye Jizong suddenly shouted angrily.
Only then did everyone become quiet. Ye Cang and Ye Wushuang had unwilling expressions on their faces. Only Ye Man looked happy.
"This matter is settled. I'll give you three days to handle your personal matters, and then bring Ye Xiaoxi to see me!"
"When the time comes, I will prepare the handover ceremony. When the handover is completed, you will be the head of the Ye family."
"Do you have anything to say?"
Ye Jizong seemed to be sure that Yang Chen would not refuse. He arranged the handover ceremony of the head of the family first, and then asked Yang Chen for his opinion.
Ye Cang and Ye Wushuang both looked unwilling and stared at Yang Chen.
In their opinion, how could Yang Chen refuse the pie-in-the-sky thing?
While everyone was surprised, Yang Chen shook his head and said calmly: "I refuse!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
Ye Jizong's expression also froze, thinking that he heard wrongly, he frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
"Don't ask me to change my surname to Ye with Qin Xi. Even if I don't change my surname, I won't be the head of the family."
Yang Chen said proudly: "As far as I am concerned, the power and wealth you see in your eyes are just fleeting smoke. In this world, only true strength is the eternal existence!"
At this moment, the Ye family finally confirmed that Yang Chen really rejected the opportunity to inherit the Ye family.
Ye Cang and Ye Wushuang both had joy in their eyes, but Ye Man said angrily: "Yang Chen, do you know what the Ye family represents in Yandu? Father asked you to inherit the position of the head of the family.
I think highly of you, but you actually want to refuse?"
Ye Jizong's face was also very ugly, and he just asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that because your people defeated the strong men of my Ye family, you think you are the only one in this world?"
Yang Chen suddenly smiled, his smile full of ridicule.
He laughed at the short-sightedness of these people and the insignificance of those in power who claimed to be top wealthy families.
After experiencing fighting in the battlefield, Yang Chen has seen too much and encountered many extremely powerful opponents.
A truly strong man can defeat a country with one person!
What does the mere Ye family count in this vast continent?
"why are you laughing?"
Ye Jizong asked coldly.
"I just thought of certain things and found them ridiculous."
Yang Chen said with a faint smile.
Then he turned around and left without looking back.
"Stop!"
Yang Chen had just taken a few steps when Ye Jizong's angry voice suddenly sounded.
"You're just toasting a toast and not eating, but you're punished with a drink. Do you really think that my Ye family is a wet market where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
"I won't embarrass you. Your dog hurts the strong men of my Ye family, and even dares to kill the strong men around me."
"A life is worth a life. As long as he dies, I will let you go! Otherwise, you will never leave the Ye family today!"
Ye Jizong had an angry look on his face. As he finished speaking, two strong men in black and white clothes, like ghosts, appeared behind him at some point.
