Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 208: The new head of the family

"Such a good boy. No wonder my granddaughter has eyes for you only. Come sit beside Pulan. From now on, you no longer have to stand behind her or anyone. You are allowed to manage and participate in any business activity of this family. No one has the rights to say or obstruct you, understand, boy?" Grandpa Qiao took ShenJi’s muscular hands in his wrinkled old ones.

Qiao Tong sneered in her heart. Grandpa was only saying these words to appease them. There is no way Qiao Minde would agree to it. Everyone knows how Qiao Minde hates Qiao ShenJi.

Qiao ShenJi nodded and opened his mouth but Qiao Deng, son of Grandpa Qiao’s first son, interrupted rudely. "Grandpa, do you know what are you saying? Have you gone mad?"

But Grandpa merely turned to his first son and said, "You need to teach your son some manners,"

"Sit back down, Deng’er. This is no place for you to argue," Eldest Master Qiao said sternly and Qiao Deng immediately sat back down because his father’s eyes looked like they could murder him right on spot.

"Father, I think Deng’er has a point," Qiao Tan, the second son of Grandpa Qiao spoke up. "It doesn’t makes sense. ShenJi is an outsider. According to our family rules, he is not allowed to manage any business under the name of Qiao," Qiao Tan, Pulan’s second uncle was the more sensible one in the family.

He wasn’t hot-blooded nor arrogant. But he wasn’t kind or a nice person either. He, too despised and supported his children Pulan and Qiao ShenJi. Then he would pretend that he didn’t see and was innocent. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Times have changed. We need to move forward instead of staying with those ridiculous old rules," the old man answered.

"Sit down brother and let’s hear what father has to say," Eldest Master Qiao spoke up.

"Father, you can continue," Eldest Master Qiao patted the old man’s hand affectionately. But underneath the pretense of a loving son was a greedy beast who wanted the whole Qiao properties for himself. He was just getting into his father’s good shoes.

The old man shot his eldest son a grateful smile. The old man nodded in approval of Eldest Master Qiao actions which seems to have effect as everyone quieted down. The old man cleared his throat, "Ahem,"

"Everyone, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. The moment has come. I am old and weary, my deathbed is near. Age has caught up with me and the gods aren’t on my side," the old man chuckled again, appearing happy despite the sad news he had just announced. "So I have made my will,"

Recently, someone had leaked the news that Grandpa Qiao was sick and secretly went to the hospital. This has caused an uproar in the company and in the family.

Grandpa Qiao was the chairman of the Qiao Group. If he couldn’t recover, who will be the new chairman?

Everyone held their breath. This was the moment some of them had been waiting for. This was a moment of suspense and tension. Everyone couldn’t wait for the old man to announce his will. It will be one of his three sons who will become the head of the family and the business.

"From now on, every property under my name will be Pulan’s. The Qiao’s companies, factories and assets under me will all be Pulan’s. She will be the new chairman of the company," the old man announced, much to everyone’s shock.

"What!?" The whole room burst into an uproar. Everyone started talking all at once at this moment. Grandpa could do nothing to stop them from attacking him from all sides with their loud rude mouths.

"How could you? She’s just a young girl with no experience!" One cried out.

"Family head? She’ll bring the family to ruins!" another said.

"That girl may not be an illegitimate but she is equalevent to worthless all because she brings bad luck to everyone she meets. Such as her nanny. I wonder how you all forget what happened to her nanny many years ago," one of Pulan’s aunts snorted and crossed her arms.

"This family and business is doomed! What are you thinking or did this little witch cast a spell on you!?" Yet another one bellowed, outraged at the fact that the Qiao Group were now in Pulan’s hands.

"This is insane. Father, have you lost your mind!? Have you gone crazy thinking about mother until your brains cells vanished!?" Pulan’s second uncle Qiao Tan got up from his seat and knocked it over in the process.

He pointed his finger at his father while his body trembled as he continued to question the old man. He could no longer remain calm.

"Father, did this bitch bewitched you? Or did she threatened you with something!? Tell me, father! How is this possible!?" Qiao Tan’s voice was filled with rage.

"Your finger.... looks like it’s worthless. Do you need help taking it back?" The cold and murderous voice of Qiao Minde finally spoke up.

Just one glare, colder than ice, reeking of murderous intentions, was enough to make Qiao Tan pull his finger back.

"My dear nephew, say something. That worthless woman is about to become the chairman yet you aren’t doing anything! The Qiao Group will be in ruins in a woman’s hands!"

"Are you saying that the group will be better in your hands?" Qiao Minde was extremely calm. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, with an amused expression.

Qiao Tan was almost speechless for a second.

"She’s a woman! What does she knows about running a business? Chairman is no child’s play,"

"He’s right. Unless Pulan can convince us with her abilities," Eldest Master Qiao said.

One by one, everyone in family were shouting for Pulan to demonstrate her ability. Pulan was at lost.

Qiao Nian looked at Qiao Minde and Pulan worriedly. What was her brother up to?

Originally, Grandpa Qiao wanted to hold a meeting in the company to announce the new chairman. But because of the fear that his body couldn’t make it, he had no choice but to spread it among the family members first so that they don’t cause any problems.

Then Qiao Minde stood up. He tilted his head and looked in the direction of Pulan.
