Chapter 820 The Master of the Murong Family
“That would be great!”
Murong Huanghe nodded repeatedly, and even praised Chen Xuan.
Both sides had expressions of great joy, but only Chen Xuan felt speechless.
Seeing that the time was right, the Murong family head suddenly said, “Since Chen Xuan is going to marry a daughter of the Murong family, shouldn’t he at least provide some betrothal gifts?”
Chen Xuan’s gaze sharpened, and he sneered in his heart.
This Murong family in the provincial city was finally showing its true colors!
“That’s right, shouldn’t you provide some betrothal gifts?”
Murong Huanghe echoed.
The elder Murong frowned but didn’t understand. He thought, what betrothal gifts? We can give anything to Chen Xuan! However, he then thought that betrothal gifts were an ancient tradition, so he didn’t say anything, assuming it would be a mere formality.
Chen Xuan sneered, “I wonder what betrothal gifts the Murong family wants?”
Seeing that Chen Xuan had taken the bait, the Murong family head and Murong Huanghe exchanged a smile.
Putting away his smile, Murong Huanghe said, “A hundred and one thousand yuan in cash, representing sincerity, shouldn’t that be a minimum?”
“That… that should be there!”
“One car, one property. So, a villa worth thirty million, and a luxury car no less than five million, shouldn’t those be necessary?”
“Absolutely!”
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.
“Also, Chen Xuan holds fifty-one percent of the Murong family’s shares. Since we are all family now, those shares are no longer useful, right? They can be given as dowry!” the Murong family head said with a smile.
The elder Murong was stunned.
Chen Xuan actually owned fifty-one percent of the Murong family’s shares. No wonder he dared to be so confident about him coming to the provincial city! How did Chen Xuan achieve this?
“Chen Xuan, you’re not going to refuse, are you? Our Murong family’s daughters are very precious. If you can’t even give up these shares, you must look down on our Murong family.” Murong Huanghe said contemptuously.
Chen Xuan took a sip of water and sneered, “The Murong family in the provincial city has really calculated well!”
“What do you mean? What calculations has our Murong family made? You want to marry our Murong family’s daughter, and you don’t need to give any betrothal gifts?” The elder Murong slammed the table and said angrily.
“Exactly, don’t you need to give betrothal gifts? Do you still want to marry a Murong family daughter without paying a single cent!” Murong Huanghe’s eyes were cold.
His stern voice instantly calmed the elder Murong!
Clearly, this was the Murong family head’s true intention. Previously, the provincial Murong family had used Murong Meng as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the Fang family. After the Fang family was ruined, the provincial Murong family again used Murong Meng as a chip to demand the shares of the provincial Murong family held by Chen Xuan. Truly despicable and shameless!
In an instant, the elder Murong clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
“Even if I were to marry, I don’t seem to be marrying a daughter of the provincial Murong family, do I? What right do you have to demand betrothal gifts?” Chen Xuan looked mockingly at Murong Huanghe and the Murong family head.
The Murong family head frowned and looked at the elder Murong, saying, “Murong Bo, as long as you get back the Murong family’s shares, I will allow your lineage to return to the provincial Murong family and permit you to place your ancestral spirit tablets in the ancestral hall.”
The elder Murong shook his head, his face filled with sorrow. To think that the provincial Murong family was still using this rhetoric to deceive him!
“Murong Bo, did you hear clearly! You only have this one chance today. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another. We hope you cherish it!” Murong Huanghe said confidently. He believed that the elder Murong’s lineage would definitely seize this opportunity.
However—
The elder Murong slammed the table and stood up, exclaiming, “You’re dreaming!”
“Murong Bo, what do you mean?” The Murong family head frowned.
The elder Murong said coldly, “Let me tell you, I would rather not join the provincial Murong family than help you in your wicked scheme to seize shares!”
“How dare you…” The elder Murong continued, “Let me tell you, if Little Meng marries Chen Xuan, it would be like the Murong family ancestors burning high incense. You still want to demand shares, which is utterly ridiculous. I will even give all my industries in Jiangzhou to Chen Xuan!”
“What?” The Murong family head and Murong Huanghe were dumbfounded, doubting if they had heard correctly. This fellow must be crazy! Giving away their daughter for free wasn’t enough, now they were giving away their family fortune! Crazy! They were all crazy!
“Good for you, Murong Bo! I’m telling you, if you don’t get back the Murong family’s shares, you will never be allowed to step foot in the provincial Murong family again!” Murong Huanghe gritted his teeth, breathing heavily.
“If I can’t step foot, then I won’t. Who cares!” The elder Murong finished speaking and then looked at Murong Meng and Chen Xuan, “Let’s go back to Jiangzhou!”
“You are truly crazy!” Murong Huanghe and the Murong family head were furious.
Just as the elder Murong was about to leave with Murong Meng, Chen Xuan said, “Elder Murong, don’t go!”
“Hmm?” The elder Murong frowned and looked at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Elder Murong, don’t forget the purpose of our visit today!” Chen Xuan grinned.
“But…” The elder Murong hesitated. Chen Xuan did own fifty-one percent of the provincial Murong family’s shares, but judging by the situation, even with these shares, the Murong family wouldn’t give up easily and hand over the Murong family.
“Besides, what right do they have to stop you from leaving?! I hold the largest shares in the Murong family, I am the master of the provincial Murong family!” Chen Xuan’s gaze shifted to Murong Huanghe and the Murong family head. “Am I right?”
“Do you really think owning shares of the provincial Murong family makes you the master of the Murong family?!” Murong Huanghe’s eyes were cold.
The Murong family head also snorted, “You only own fifty-one percent of my Murong family’s shares! Unless you own one hundred percent of my Murong family’s shares, I won’t listen to you.”
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. The Murong family truly had no grasp of business at all! He said, “If I give your Murong family another three billion, won’t the remaining forty-nine percent of the shares all be mine? What else do you have to say?”
“You say you’ll buy, and we’ll sell? Our Murong family refuses to sell!” Murong Huanghe sneered.
“That’s right! We won’t sell, what can you do to us?” The Murong family head echoed.
Chen Xuan scoffed, “Fools! Two fools!”
“How dare you insult me! Do you know about respecting the old and loving the young!” The Murong family head was extremely enraged.
“Kid, this is the Murong family, not a place for you to run wild!” Murong Huanghe threatened. But then he thought, Chen Xuan causing trouble in the Murong family and injuring people seemed to be all within the provincial Murong family!
Chen Xuan sneered, “The contract states that I have the right to forcibly purchase the Murong family’s shares. If you don’t even know this, then what are you if not fools?”
“What? The right to forcibly purchase the remaining shares of the Murong family?” Murong Huanghe was about to get angry, but then he suddenly understood the meaning of Chen Xuan’s words and was stunned.
The Murong family head shouted, “Quick, go get the contract, hurry and get the contract!” Although he didn’t understand the contract details well, the literal meaning was too straightforward, how could he not know? If it was truly as Chen Xuan said, then it would be over!
