As soon as Blue Jingkuang thought of Bai Li Hongzhuang's arrogant demeanor at the banquet, he felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.
Whether it was her attitude or her face, which looked strikingly similar to Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing, it made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
Old habits die hard, and it's simply impossible for Bai Li Hongzhuang to compete with him!
Listening to Lan Jingkuang's sinister and ruthless words, Lan Kaicheng and Lan Yongtai exchanged glances and then smiled.
Regardless of the circumstances, they were on the right side.
"Prepare yourselves. Tomorrow, let's be the first to propose to the head of the family," Lan Jingkuang said in a low voice.
"Shouldn't we wait for the Young Master to come out first before making the proposal?" Lan Yongtai asked in surprise.
Lan Jingkuang nodded. "There's no harm in being proactive. We should make the proposal before Qingyan comes out. Once Qingyan breaks through to the Purple Realm, the head of the family won't have any reason to oppose it. With that, we can quickly hold the ceremony after Qingyan's emergence."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yongtai and Lan Kaicheng exchanged glances. Although the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations, there was no problem in proposing a bit earlier.
"Yes!"
...
"Head of the family, Jingkuang and the others couldn't hold back any longer. I just received the news that they are planning to propose tomorrow for the Young Master to become the head," Lan Borong reported with a furrowed brow, showing a hint of annoyance.
There were still many things they hadn't figured out yet, but Lan Jingkuang seemed to have seen through that, and he didn't want to give them any time.
Lan Hongtai's face revealed a faint smile tinged with an unfathomable meaning. "It's in line with his character. Feeling threatened, he can't wait to take control of everything."
"But in that case, what should we do?" Lan Borong asked anxiously, seeing that Lan Hongtai showed no signs of urgency. "We don't have any reasons to stop their proposal!"
Lan Hongtai glanced lightly at Lan Borong and smiled faintly. "Do you think that if Bai Li Hongzhuang is really Yunxiao's child, she would care about everything happening in the Lan family?"
As soon as those words were spoken, Lan Borong couldn't help but be taken aback, not understanding Lan Hongtai's meaning.
"She's already the Young Palace Master of the Endless Palace. In terms of status and strength, she is not much weaker than our Lan family. I believe that this child has come to the Lan family mostly for revenge, not for the sake of the Lan family."
Lan Hongtai let out a sigh. Lan Yunxiao never saw the Lan family as something essential. He only wanted to protect it because it was his family.
Lan Yunxiao and Lan Jingkuang had completely different mindsets from the beginning.
With Lan Hongtai's words, Lan Borong's body trembled, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
Indeed, the head of the family had long seen through this.
If Bai Li Hongzhuang really had that identity, she wouldn't have any attachment to this family that had caused her great harm.
"Head of the family, are you suggesting...?"
"Let them go. What is meant to be will be. If it's meant to be, no matter how scheming they are, it will be in vain," Lan Hongtai said with a carefree expression. He had served the Lan family for so many years and never considered it an extremely enjoyable privilege. Instead, he saw it as a responsibility on his shoulders.
