Chapter 1404 - 1403: Nothing She Says Is Right

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1403: Nothing She Says Is Right

The two brothers conversed back and forth, their words perfectly in sync. Of course, they weren’t being perfunctory, but truly felt this cousin’s abilities were remarkable, and they deeply admired her, almost to the point of being awestruck.

Moreover, they already cherished their younger sister, so naturally, they thought she was wonderful in every way, and felt not the slightest bit of jealousy.

Gu Tong pursed her lips, not daring to speak: "..." At this moment, anything she said would be wrong.

After all, she hadn’t forgotten the Feng Family’s intentions; they were still thinking of passing the role of Family Head to her.

If not for this, Gu Tong wouldn’t be thinking of holding back; if the Feng Family hadn’t encountered trouble, she wouldn’t have stood up and taken on the burden voluntarily.

Ultimately, being family leaves one with no choice.

...

It was night.

Gu Tong drove away from the Feng Family’s residence.

Her two cousins saw her off, watching until her car disappeared into the distance before returning through the Feng Family’s gates.

...

In the living room.

Feng Zhuoliang, acting Family Head, returned late, only managing to greet Gu Tong before she hastily left. Sitting on the sofa, he said, "It’s really a pity. Every time I see this child, it never seems to be the right moment, and I hardly get to exchange a few words."

Feng Ruyue picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said, "That truly is a pity. You haven’t seen it; this child’s mind is steadfast, her thoughts meticulous, she handles affairs smoothly, is intelligent and wise, with the demeanor of the eldest sister in her youth."

Feng Zhuoliang pressed his lips together and said, "I heard from the old butler that Gu Tong handles matters with poise, quite admirable. It’s just a pity that this morning, I was called out of state to a meeting with the An Family, or else I could have had a good chat with this girl."

"Are you thinking that the family should be handed over to this girl in the future, and that more observation is needed?" Feng Ruyue blew on the hot tea and said, "I’ve probed the girl twice, and she didn’t take the bait either time. I think it’s just us being wishful."

Feng Zhuoliang frowned and said, "Things related to the main family, outsiders don’t understand, but you should; the Feng Family can only be entrusted to a female of the main house to ensure prosperity, that’s the ancestral instruction, and no one should entertain other thoughts."

The women and men from the collateral branches cannot be entered into the family registry; they’re only recorded in the side branch ledger. On the surface, they appear to be part of the Feng Family, but actually, they seem separated.

Feng Ruyue raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased, and said, "You and I were both raised by the eldest sister. I might think of other things, but this one thought, I absolutely cannot conceive or act upon. I just hope Gu Tong can seize power, then I can rest assured. It’s just that now she is unwilling to take charge, and I’m trying to figure out how to push this role onto her!"

He knew what kind of sister he had.

Feng Zhuoliang understood; he was just anxious earlier, hence he misspoke.

Thinking of this, he quickly apologized, saying, "It’s my misunderstanding. I’m just afraid... so many years have passed, and we’ve let our guard down, forgotten the lessons of the past..."

Feng Ruyue glanced at him without much gratitude, saying, "When the family had troubles back then, you weren’t there; Mom died in my arms, and I heard her words clearly, and I have a gauge in my heart to understand thoroughly."

The conversation reached this point, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

They couldn’t help but recall the events of the past in the Feng Family, and all couldn’t help feeling somber.

Feng Zhuoliang sighed heavily and said, "Alright, it’s all my fault, bringing this up for no reason and upsetting you. Let’s not talk about this, let’s discuss the girl, Gu Tong."

How to make Gu Tong the Family Head is the crucial matter now; they understood in their hearts that if not for this, they wouldn’t be discussing it this way.
