My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 880: This is too abrupt
Old Madam Jun leaned in close to him and whispered a sentence in his ear, causing Gu Yan’s complexion to change drastically, turning completely pale, his body swaying a few times.
Everyone was extremely surprised, exchanging looks of disbelief, all very eager to know what Old Madam Jun had said to make Gu Yan’s color change so severely.
Ye Lu and Third Young Master Jun also abruptly turned their gaze towards Gu Yan, enveloped in a heap of doubts and starting to feel inexplicably tense.
"You won’t have any more questions now, will you?" Old Madam Jun looked at Gu Yan with an expression both complex and severe.
Gu Yan’s body shuddered, his gaze filled with sorrow and helplessness coldly sweeping over Ye Lu and Third Young Master Jun, Ye Lu suffering from an eerie chill due to that strange look.
"Since this is Grandmother’s wish, then I—have nothing to say!" He spoke coldly.
"In that case, there is no need to harbor any more doubts, let’s announce the heir today!" Old Madam Jun made a decisive call, her gaze turning towards Jun Guanru, nodding slightly.
Jun Shi was so anxious he nearly jumped, yet he had no idea what reason to use to object, feeling infuriated inside. Why did Gu Yan stop after saying half a word? If it wasn’t certain, then don’t speak at all.
"So..." Jun Guanru, with a serious expression and calm eyes like an ancient pool, swept his gaze over everyone present, "I, Jun Guanru, announce that the heir to the Jun Group will be my great-grandson—Yuanyuan!"
As the dust settled, Ye Yuan, under the gaze of the crowd, became the envied heir of the Jun Family.
With growing confusion in his heart, Ye Lu asked Third Young Master Jun in a low voice, "Old Madam, she hasn’t verified it at all, has she? Knowing full well that Yuanyuan is not your child, why would she do this?"
It was clearly evident that Old Madam Jun was using her authority to suppress any disagreement.
Despite not having conducted any verification, why insist on deceiving people?
Third Young Master Jun lowered his eyes, "Grandmother only wishes to avoid a conflict between us brothers. Choosing another heir to put a stop to this dispute is undoubtedly the best solution."
"But, doesn’t she care about Yuanyuan’s bloodline issue at all?"
Ye Lu found it all very strange. Even if the Old Madam was muddle-headed or fond of Yuanyuan and Yiyi, she couldn’t possibly give the Jun Group to her own children. It was just too odd.
Third Young Master Jun actually harbored deeper doubts than her, because he understood his grandmother better. He knew that, despite her usually jovial and casual demeanor, she was quite decisive and clear-headed when it mattered. He was determined to understand her thoughts—she must know something!
"Her actions are just a temporary measure, to make us stop fighting. In the future, when you have a child, our own blood will naturally take the position. She must be thinking this way!" Third Young Master Jun was also unable to share the complex doubts in his heart with her.
Ye Lu thought it over, this reasoning made sense, but something still felt off to him.
He couldn’t help feeling that the situation was too abrupt.
"The leadership of Tian Kun must also be re-established," Jun Shi watched with wide eyes as a little brat took away the position of heir, his heart bleeding with frustration. Having already lost one battle, it was natural to want to regain territory, "Since he has already voluntarily resigned from Tian Kun, we should elect someone capable to take over as the head of Tian Kun."
His gaze swept over the shareholders, full of insinuation and suggestive of bribes, urging them to quickly take a stand and choose him.
Now, he was the only suitable candidate for Tian Kun. Gu Yan while being part of the Gu Clan, had just returned to the Jun Family and had yet to enter the Jun Group. The kid had given it up on his own, nobody else was to blame.
Unexpectedly, Jun Guanru spoke up, "The matter of Tian Kun still needs the truth to be clarified.
