Be a Succubus in the World of Women

Hearing this, Ling Yun nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, tomorrow is the Patriarch election, right?" Lin An asked.

"Yes," Ling Yun nodded slightly, and asked Lin An: "The venue for the Patriarch's election is held in the Xia Family Mansion. Do you want to watch it?"

"I won't go. After all, I won't be from the Xia family soon." Lin An shook his head.

"By the way, what do you think is Xia Yu's chance of winning tomorrow's Patriarch election?" Lin An asked again.

"Odds? She has no chance."

Ling Yun said indifferently: "Her reputation among the elders of the family has already rotted. Tomorrow, she will lose."

Chapter 34 Friends?

Minghai City, Xia Family Mansion.

"The counting of votes is over! According to the results of the vote, Xia Lan will become the next Patriarch."

Fang Bo stood up and announced the election results.

"Crack! Crack!"

"Clap clap clap!"

In the Xia family mansion, many elders of the Xia family applauded and congratulated.

"Congratulations to Miss San!" The elders stood up and congratulated Xia Lan in unison.

"Thank you all elders for your support. In the future, we will rely on your elders' assistance for all the affairs of the family!"

Xia Lan looked at everyone with a smile on her face, and said gently.

"That's what it should be, Miss San, don't worry!" Everyone replied one after another.

In the hall, everyone had smiles, real or fake, on their faces.There was only one person with a very gloomy face, and that was Xia Yu who had been standing silently in the crowd.

Xia Yu was filled with anger, clenched her fists with both hands, and scanned the elders in the hall with her eyes, as if she wanted to eat them.

"Sister, I hope that we can cooperate sincerely and coexist peacefully in the future. After all, we are sisters whose blood is thicker than water, so we shouldn't make too much noise."

Xia Lan walked to Xia Yu's side and said softly to her.

"Congratulations, third sister." Xia Yu forced a smile and said to her.

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu bowed her body, turned around and left the hall, and walked away.

Xia Lan looked at Xia Yu's back, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a playful look.

After chatting with the elders for a long time, Xia Lan got up and left, leaving the elders to continue communicating.

After leaving Xia's mansion, Xia Lan got into the car.After driving for a while, the car stopped at the entrance of Yunhaijian Tea House. Xia Lan got out of the car, walked into the tea house, and went straight to the private room on the third floor.

After arriving at the private room on the third floor, Xia Lan saw Ling Yun and Yu Hailan drinking tea leisurely.

"Look who is here, isn't this the future head of the Xia family, Miss Xia Lan?" Yu Hailan joked to her as soon as she saw Xia Lan walking in.

"You can hardly hide the pride on your face!" Ling Yun also teased.

After hearing Ling Yun's words, Xia Lan was taken aback for a moment, then stuck out her tongue playfully, and said to Ling Yun: "Is it not your credit that I won the position of Patriarch?"

"Then you have to repay me well in the future!" Ling Yun looked at Xia Lan with a smile and said.

"Don't worry." Xia Lan nodded in agreement.

"Next, we have to guard against Xia Yu's counterattack. Maybe, while we were chatting, Xia Yu was already discussing with An Xuanzi how to deal with us." Yu Hailan looked at Xia Lan and reminded her seriously road.

Xia Lan didn't say anything after hearing the words.She sat on the seat, poured herself a cup of tea, then picked it up, and took a sip of the tea.

"Miss Hailan, can I trouble you to mobilize a group of people from the family to be on standby?" Xia Lan said after putting down the teacup in her hand, looking at Yu Hailan.

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. Starting tomorrow, my staff will be on standby outside the Xia's Mansion, ready for any eventuality." Yu Hailan said.

"Then I'm relieved!" Xia Lan said with a slight smile.

"Speaking of which, do you think Xia Yu and An Xuanzi are really likely to cause trouble?" Ling Yun looked at the two women and asked.

"I'm really not sure about this." Xia Lan replied after thinking about it.

"Speaking of which, how is your mother's body recently?" Yu Hailan looked at Xia Lan and asked suddenly.

"It's about to die, the family is already secretly preparing for the funeral." Xia Lan frowned slightly, and said with some concern.

"I personally guess that Xia Yu would not act rashly while her mother was alive." Xia Lan looked at Yu Hailan and said slowly.

"Why?" Yu Hailan asked puzzled.

"Because Xia Yu really dared to make trouble when my mother was alive, then she has little chance of winning," Xia Lan said lightly. "As long as mother is alive, she can mobilize a large number of people from the family at any time. Moreover, mother is among the elders of the family. With absolute authority."

"To put it bluntly, if Xia Yu wants to overthrow me and become the patriarch, she must meet two necessary conditions." Xia Lan paused, looked at Yu Hailan, and said, "First, she must have enough people. The second Second, she must have the approval and support of the elders of the family."

"That's personal strength and legitimacy, right?" Yu Hailan said thoughtfully.

"Anyway, I've been paying attention to my mother's health issues recently. When my mother can't stand it anymore, Xia Yu should take action." Xia Lan said with certainty.

After Xia Lan finished speaking, the private room fell into a brief silence.

"If Xia Yu and An Xuanzi get into trouble, it may not be convenient for me to take action. I can't let my team members confront An Xuanzi's people openly." Ling Yun pondered for a moment, then said to Xia Lan , "If the matter of my cooperation with you is exposed, I will be held accountable by the Jai Group."

"I can understand," Xia Lan said with a slight smile, "Ling Yun, Yu Hailan and I can handle the rest of the matter, and you should get out of here too."

"Sorry, I'll trouble you for the next thing." Ling Yun said to Xia Lan apologetically, and at the same time, glanced at Yu Hailan.

"Don't say that, you have already helped me a lot. Without you, I wouldn't be the head of the family today." Xia Lan waved her hand hurriedly.

"Okay, then you guys talk first, and I'll take my leave." After Ling Yun finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Xia Lan looked at Ling Yun and shouted.

"What's the matter, is there anything else?" Ling Yun looked at Xia Lan and asked doubtfully.

"That...Ling Yun, in a few days, can you come to the family gathering?" Xia Lan hesitated for a while, and then summoned up the courage to say to Ling Yun.

After Xia Lan finished speaking, Yu Hailan's face became a little strange when he heard the words.She glanced at Xia Lan, then at Ling Yun, with unknown emotions flickering in her eyes.

"Are you asking me to attend your Xia family's family reunion? Why?" Ling Yun looked at Xia Lan in surprise and asked.

"After all, I have become the head of the family. I want to formally introduce you to the elders of the family." Xia Lan lowered her head and said.

"Introduction... wait, it's not necessary!" Ling Yun quickly refused, "When I seduced Xia Yu, didn't the elders of your family watch the whole process?"

"As for my relationship with you... just say, because I cheated on Xia Yu, you broke up with me, isn't that all right?" Ling Yun said to Xia Lan.

"Yeah, why did you think of letting Ling Yun go to your family gathering?" Yu Hailan also asked very puzzled.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have already explained it to the elders of the family." Xia Lan said to Ling Yun.

"Explain? How did you explain it to the elders in the family?" Ling Yun asked suspiciously.

"I told them that I have forgiven you. I even threatened them not to reveal the fact that Xia Yu seduced you." Xia Lan looked at Ling Yun and said lightly.

After hearing Xia Lan's words, Ling Yun and Yu Hailan were both stunned.Yu Hailan and Ling Yun glanced at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Well, it's not necessary! This kind of thing has happened, you don't need to continue to be in a relationship with me!" Ling Yun said a little embarrassed and panicked.

"Yuan... forgive me? It's unnecessary! Don't you think it's weird?" Yu Hailan was also a little dumbfounded.

"But, I want to continue." Xia Lan looked at Ling Yun and said seriously.

As soon as Xia Lan's words came out, the whole private room fell into deathly silence again.

Yu Hailan's complexion became extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.

"Ling Yun, do you still remember what I told you a few days ago?" Xia Lan raised her eyes to Ling Yun and said slowly.

Ling Yun was slightly taken aback, but did not speak.He lowered his head and looked at the amber tea in the teacup on the table.

"I said, I like you." Xia Lan took a deep breath and continued to say to Ling Yun, "So, I hope that we can continue to maintain a relationship as a couple."

"You don't have to worry about the stigma you have brought by seducing Xia Yu. As long as I'm here, those rumors won't spread." Seeing that Ling Yun remained silent, Xia Lan continued to talk to him.

"Why are you bothering..." Ling Yun raised his head and looked at Xia Lan helplessly.

"So, are you willing to attend the family gathering?" Xia Lan looked at Ling Yun and asked firmly.

"Xia Lan, you really want to officially introduce Ling Yun to the elders of the Xia family... Could it be that you want to marry him in the future?" Yu Hailan finally couldn't bear it anymore and interjected.

"Yes." Xia Lan didn't hesitate, and nodded to Yu Hailan straightforwardly.

Yu Hailan looked at Xia Lan with surprise and anger in his eyes.

She turned her head to look at Ling Yun, her eyes were full of complexities.

Xia Lan's eyes stayed on Ling Yun's body all the time, looking at him, waiting for his answer.

But Ling Yun lowered his head slightly, looking very embarrassed.

Speaking of this, it is already obvious.Instead of asking, Xia Lan asked if Ling Yun would like to attend the family gathering.It's better to ask if Ling Yun is willing to date Xia Lan with marriage as his future goal.

Ling Yun remained silent, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive.

Xia Lan and Yu Hailan both stared at Ling Yun, waiting for his answer.

Ling Yun suddenly felt that his pressure doubled and he felt out of breath.

It's not that he doesn't like Xia Lan, but...in his heart, he's really not ready.

All of this seemed to have come too suddenly, so suddenly, he had no time to digest it, let alone accept it all.

"Sorry, let me think about it again."

Ling Yun took a deep breath, then quickly walked out of the private room, leaving here as if fleeing for his life.

Running away is shameful, but useful.

Looking at the back of Ling Yun fleeing in panic, Xia Lan and Yu Hailan were both stunned.

"Ling Yun!" After Xia Lan came to her senses, she hurriedly chased out of the private room and shouted at Ling Yun.

However, Ling Yun didn't seem to hear, didn't look back, and walked even faster.

Xia Lan stood at the door of the private room, staring blankly at Ling Yun's receding figure, speechless for a long time.

"You scared him." Yu Hailan frowned, looked at Xia Lan and said, "You suddenly proposed to him, who can bear it?"
