Xiao Wenbin felt his father, Xiao Defu, was too weak.
He thought that the matter of being the family head would have to rely on himself, as others were completely unreliable.
"Congratulations on getting the old mansion back!"
Xiao Jianren's gaze fell on Ye Yanran as he spoke, "You don't need to thank me. You are my cousin, it's only right to help you."
Ye Yanran did not speak.
She was a smart person and knew what Xiao Jianren was planning.
On the surface, he was helping her get the old mansion back, but his real intention was to seize the old mansion for himself.
Ye Yanran knew that Xiao Jianren was not a good person either.
In the entire Xiao family, except for Xiao Cuiying, Ye Yanran found all the clan members very repulsive.
"Let's wait in the main hall!"
Ye Yanran said to everyone, "Since the old mansion is mine, then we must make three rules. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the old mansion, I will not spare them!"
Upon hearing this, many people began to whisper.
"What's so great about her, just back to the Xiao family and already putting on airs of a young lady."
"Who does Xiao Yanran think she is?"
"You can't say that, we should at least give her some face. It wouldn't look good for everyone to fall out."
...
Hearing the discussions, Ye Yanran immediately stopped and scanned everyone with sharp eyes.
"What did you just say?" Ye Yanran asked in a deep voice.
Seeing this, everyone quickly shut up.
"You say who I am, then who are you?"
Ye Yanran stared at everyone and said coldly, "I've just returned to the Xiao family, and I don't have much status or position, but I'm telling you, the old mansion is mine, and this is my territory!"
"If you leave the old mansion, I don't care what you do, but if you stay in the old mansion, you must listen to me. If you don't want to stay here, then get out."
Everyone was scolded until their faces turned red.
Xiao Defu and Xiao Wenbin were stunned when they saw this!
They hadn't expected Ye Yanran to be such a tough character.
This aura was definitely not something ordinary people could possess.
Now, Xiao Defu and Xiao Wenbin began to regret acknowledging Ye Yanran's identity because they realized that Ye Yanran was not a simple person.
"Jiang Yi, I can't believe you found such a tough character!"
Xiao Jianren grinned and said, "We have a great chance of winning this time! With her, we have another capable helper."
Jiang Yi just smiled and didn't say anything.
If they thought Ye Yanran was someone easy to bully, they would be greatly mistaken.
If they wanted to bully Ye Yanran, they would only suffer losses.
Ye Yanran was not someone to be bullied. Su Dan Novel Network
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Ye Yanran scanned everyone and said coldly, "If you're not convinced, get out immediately. Don't stay on my territory."
Everyone still didn't dare to speak.
"Xiao Yanran, you don't respect us elders at all. Although you are the young lady of the Xiao family, in front of us, you are still just a junior. Did your adoptive parents not teach you to respect your elders all these years?"
Xiao Defu stared at Ye Yanran and said, "Your upbringing is too poor. You still need to learn how to be a member of our Xiao family in the future."
Xiao Defu said all this in an attempt to suppress Ye Yanran's spirit.
Xiao Defu was wrong, Ye Yanran's spirit was not something he could suppress.
"Should I call you Second Uncle!"
Ye Yanran's gaze fell on Xiao Defu.
"As Second Uncle, you are an elder of the Xiao family, but are the things you've done something an elder should do?"
"The Old Master has been paralyzed in bed for so many years, and you haven't found anyone to treat him. Now that your son wants to be the Xiao family head, you only then think of finding someone to treat the Old Master. Do you really think no one knows about your schemes?"
These words infuriated Xiao Defu.
Xiao Defu, with a guilty conscience, began to panic.
"Xiao Yanran, don't talk nonsense here!" Xiao Defu roared angrily.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it clearly in your heart."
Ye Yanran snorted coldly and walked directly towards the main hall.
Xiao Defu looked at Ye Yanran's retreating back, a hint of killing intent in his eyes. He regretted not having gotten rid of Ye Yanran back then.
Now that Ye Yanran had returned, he would not have good days.
Ye Yanran's words made many people angry, and they were filled with resentment, but they could only shamelessly enter the main hall.
Jiang Yi smiled when he saw this and followed them into the hall.
"You did well!" Jiang Yi said softly to Ye Yanran.
"You have no idea how scared I was just now!"
Ye Yanran also lowered her voice.
"My heart was about to jump out of my throat just now, I could only pretend to be calm. If you weren't here, I might not have had the courage to scold them all."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
He hadn't expected Ye Yanran to be scared sometimes.
"What should I do later?" Ye Yanran asked.
"You are the young lady of the Xiao family now, so just do as you see fit," Jiang Yi said.
Ye Yanran nodded, then took a deep breath.
Jiang Yi could see that Ye Yanran was a little flustered!
"Don't panic, I'm here, and nothing will happen!" Jiang Yi said to comfort her.
"Thank you!"
Ye Yanran responded.
"What are you two whispering about?" Xiao Jianren walked over and asked Jiang Yi and Ye Yanran.
"Nothing!"
Jiang Yi looked at Xiao Jianren and smiled slightly, "During this time, keep a close eye on Physician Yan. They might resort to desperate measures."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jianren asked.
"If Physician Yan cannot cure the Old Master, then Xiao Defu and his son Xiao Wenbin will definitely not let us succeed in our treatment. They will definitely try to sabotage us in secret!" Jiang Yi said.
"Don't worry, I will keep a close watch on them!" Xiao Jianren replied.
Time continued to pass!
Soon, an hour had passed!
Many people were getting impatient, especially those clan members of the Xiao family.
They were actually not very useful by coming here. They just wanted to know in advance who would become the Xiao family head, and then curry favor with them immediately.
By currying favor with the family head, they would have status and status in the Xiao family in the future, and gain more benefits.
The clan members of the Xiao family would naturally not miss such an important opportunity.
Suddenly at this moment, Xiao Cuiying came downstairs with Physician Yan.
Xiao Wenbin quickly walked over and asked Xiao Cuiying, "Can you cure the Old Master?"
"I can't be sure yet!"
Physician Yan frowned and said, "Old Master Xiao has been in a coma for more than twenty years and paralyzed for more than twenty years. His condition is very serious, and I don't have absolute confidence!"
