Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2174: Chapter 1657: Such Peers

Leading the group of men and women pouring out from the villa’s first-floor hall was a young man with an arrogant demeanor, who always spoke with his chin lifted, giving an intangible sense of conceit and pride.

Most surprisingly, this person openly criticized the Clan Leader within the family, in front of everyone.

He even dared to say the Clan Leader should step down, which is simply unimaginable!

The most absurd thing is that the men and women around him kept echoing his statements.

”Yeah, Taylor as Clan Leader only keeps retreating. People have bullied us at our doorstep, yet he doesn’t want to fight back. There’s simply no backbone!”

”Right, I heard the family is signing some flesh-slicing agreement with a third party, exchanging it for a bit of pitiful funding to fill the gaps on their side. That’s just too pathetic!”

”I’ve said it all along, Taylor as Clan Leader is too lenient. He really isn’t fit to lead a big family like ours...”

The chattering filled the air, seemingly unconcerned about the Clan Leader being a taboo subject.

This is unimaginable in other families.

To dare to criticize the Clan Leader like this is a major crime, deserving severe punishment.

After all, the Clan Leader’s prestige is not to be insulted!

Bai Xiaosheng and the others exchanged a peculiar glance upon hearing these words.

They had heard from Xiya that her father was lenient and benevolent. At that time, they didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just Xiya, as a daughter, describing her father.

Now it seems this Clan Leader is not just lenient; he’s exceedingly benevolent!

Otherwise, how could these youngsters dare act like this?

Of course, it might also be that Xiya’s father hasn’t reached that imagined point, but rather that the person leading the group is ”getting carried away.”

From the meaning in that person’s words just now, his father is joining forces with several family elders to ”stage a coup,” seemingly with great confidence. No wonder, as his son, he has become so reckless!

That young leader continued talking to the surrounding people, ”My father has already gone with several uncles to the Clan Leader to talk. It’s time somebody stood up and re-led the family...”

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly noticed Xiya, his voice paused, his eyes narrowed, and he appeared a bit unnatural.

The others also saw Xiya and immediately closed their mouths, their eyes showing some apprehension.

In their eyes, Xiya is a fierce woman.

At this moment, Xiya stood there cold-faced, looking at those people coldly, and said unhurriedly, ”Speak up, why did you stop!”

The people remained silent.

”Xiya, why did you only come back now?” The young leader naturally refused to be intimidated by this girl, took a deep breath, acted sternly, and somewhat questioned her, ”I heard the Clan Leader arranged bodyguards and a convoy for you to fetch an important contract and check. Yet, you left quietly on a motorcycle alone? That’s simply willful! Let me ask you, if something really happened and you lost those things, how is the family supposed to proceed! Do you know how important the things you’re fetching are to the family! If there’s even a slight mishap, can you bear the responsibility?”

He actually criticized Xiya.

If anything really happened, he didn’t even mention the safety of Xiya, a young girl.

Xiya looked at him coldly, speaking slowly, ”Kaiden, I am running around for the family; what have you contributed?”

Xiya then looked at the people next to Kaiden, saying coldly, ”You, besides using your tongues here, can you do anything useful!”

Her words immediately displeased those people, who spoke out in anger.

”Xiya, how can you talk like that!”

”Exactly, not only do you care for the family, we also worry about it.”

”What makes you think your family is the only one making efforts...”

”What a remarkable ability to monopolize credit—like father, like daughter...”

The crowd started chattering.

Kaiden also wore a sullen face, raised his chin, and shouted, ”Xiya, what you said is too much! Most of us here are your brothers and sisters; how can you be so disrespectful, breaking the rules!”

Kaiden pointed at Xiya, lecturing her, ”I think the Clan Leader spoiled you, leaving you utterly rude, lacking the necessary etiquette of a grand family!”

Upon Kaiden’s words, those around him echoed him once more.

”Exactly, how are you speaking to us!”

”Have you forgotten the lessons in family etiquette?”

”Speaking to us without any title of respect, and she’s the Clan Leader’s daughter.”

”Simply overindulged!”

The crowd eagerly criticized Xiya.

Kaiden seized the opportunity to say to Xiya, ”Did you bring the things back or not? Quickly deliver them to the Clan Leader; all the uncles are waiting. For you, since you’ve been away for years, not following any grand family rules, we will let your rudeness slide!”

Kaiden’s words sounded so ”generous.”

However, asking Xiya to deliver things to the Clan Leader, yet saying all the uncles are waiting, as if the Clan Leader is no longer in charge.

He also talked about forgiving Xiya’s rudeness.

Truly, people have two tongues; they can say anything.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others felt annoyed yet amused.

Xiya was unwilling to waste more words with Kaiden and the others, snorted coldly, ”Then get out of my way!”

The people were displeased when they heard Xiya’s rude remark.

Xiya ascended the steps, practically ignoring those people, and proceeded straight through.

”Hold on!”

Suddenly, Kaiden stepped forward again, blocking the way.

His eyes scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng and the others, one by one, with an evaluative glance. He just glanced quickly at Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying but lingered on Lin Weiwei with slightly bright eyes.

Lin Weiwei completely ignored him.

Lei Ying glared at him coldly.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes also turned unpleasant.

Xiya stood blocking Kaiden’s line of sight, frowning and shouting, ”What are you staring at? Staring at my guests like that, do you have any manners!”

Bai Xiaosheng and the others were Xiya’s friends and had saved her life. Now they were even planning to help save her family.

This jerk Kaiden boldly stared at one’s female companion like that, simply going too far!

”Who are these people?” Kaiden retracted his gaze, seriously pointing at Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying.

”As I’ve said, my friends!” Xiya replied simply and coldly, ”Besides, why do you care!”

Being repeatedly retorted by Xiya in front of his peers, Kaiden couldn’t help but feel his temper rise.

”Of course I care! I’m the most anticipated among the younger generation in this family. Who knows, the future Family Head might be me!” Kaiden said, undisguised and smiling coldly, ”So tell me, do I care!”

So arrogant, yet without any wisdom.

If such a person were to become the future Family Head, this family would be finished.

Bai Xiaosheng thought.

Xiya felt utterly ashamed, gritting her teeth, glaring, and said, ”Get lost!”

This time, Kaiden didn’t yield but shouted, ”Currently, it’s a turbulent time for the family, and you have the leisure to invite some people of unknown background into the house. I don’t approve! If you want to let them in, you must tell me their identities!”

Kaiden assumed a righteous posture, receiving immediate support from those around him. But his gaze repeatedly glanced at Lin Weiwei.

He’s being driven by ulterior motives.

He’s showing off for Lin Weiwei.

Without waiting for Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying to express dissatisfaction, Xiya rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Kaiden, gritting her teeth audibly.

”You want to feel the taste of my fists, right? My father is still the Clan Leader!”
