Hearing Sir Ling announcing there was a matter to declare, the many descendants of the Ling Family immediately straightened up, appearing earnest and serious.

They were all well aware that in this critical period, someone needed to step forward to oversee the Ling Family's affairs.

They were fairly certain that Sir Ling's next announcement would inevitably concern a major decision about the future of the Ling Family.

After pausing for a few seconds, Sir Ling continued, "I have decided to hand over the Ling Family's enterprises to Xue'er to manage."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief and even went so far as to dig in their ears.

They looked at each other for confirmation, wondering if they had heard it wrong?

Sir Ling's announcement had exploded like a depth charge!

Compared to the others' shock, Ling Jun's originally solemn expression suddenly broke into an excited smile.@@novelbin@@

He too was surprised by Sir Ling's decision.

In fact, he had been prepared for his position within the family to plummet, but he hadn't expected such an unexpectedly drastic decision to be announced.

He couldn't express how delighted he felt inside, as if smeared with honey, a complete turnabout from his initial demeanor.

Ling Ying was the first to object, standing up and saying, "Dad, are you making a mistake?"

"Ling Qingxue is a woman! How can we entrust the future of the Ling Family to her hands?"

"We do not agree with this decision!"

Ling Zhi also stood up to express his stance to Sir Ling, "That's right, we do not agree!"

"Dad, have we run out of men in the Ling Family?"

"Such a huge enterprise, what qualifications does this sheltered, frail girl have to manage it? Besides, could she even handle it well?"

"Don't let it come to a point where the Ling Family's enterprises are ruined without us even knowing, are you joking with the future of our Ling Family?"

"Hey!" Ling Jun timely interjected, "Old Second, Old Third, aren't your words a bit too prejudiced?"

"So what if she's a woman?"

"Is it that only men can manage enterprises?"

"If you ask me, Dad's decision, that's what I call true wisdom! My daughter is quite capable, as everyone can plainly see. The businesses that were handed over to Xue'er before were in decline, but after she took over, it didn't take long for her to turn them around."

"Xue'er is highly capable, and for her to take over the Ling Family's enterprises is more than suitable."

Ling Ying snorted, "Big brother, you protected Xiangyang in the same way back then, didn't you? But what was the result?"

"You all have caused enough trouble for the Ling Family; I beg you not to jump out and create more chaos."

"You..." Ling Jun became enraged, "This is Dad's decision, do you dare defy it?"

Ling Ying's son, Ling Yonghao, was holding back his frustration and said defiantly, "Grandfather, in terms of ability, I am not inferior to Ling Qingxue; in terms of connections, I am certainly above her; in terms of character, I am equally above her, so why did you choose her and not me?"

He had thought that after Ling Xiangyang's death, he would be given attention and cultivated as a key figure.

But who would have thought that his grandfather would favor Ling Qingxue instead of him!

This made him extremely displeased!

Ling Zhi's daughter, Ling Shanshan, also expressed her disagreement, "That's right! Which one of us is inferior to Ling Qingxue?"

"Why choose her and not us?"

"Grandfather, this is not fair!"

Seeing these people causing such a commotion, Sir Ling frowned and sternly shouted, "Enough, all of you!"

When Sir Ling spoke up, the previously noisy hall instantly fell silent.

However, in the eyes of Ling Ying and others, a few more traces of resentment appeared, clearly expressing great dissatisfaction with Sir Ling's decision.

Sir Ling swept his eyes coldly over the people present, "Has it come to the point where this old man's words are worthless in the Ling Family?"

"Of course not..."

Ling Ying shook his head, "Dad, that's not what we meant. But why must it be a woman you're choosing to succeed the management of the Ling Family's enterprises?"

"For the future development of our Ling Family, please think it over thrice. Don't be muddleheaded."

Ling Zhi hastily added, "That's right! Ling Qingxue, it really is hard to see, what exactly did you do to bewitch granddad into making this decision?"

"So young and seemingly innocent, yet who could have predicted your thoughts were so profound, we truly misjudged you."

After hearing these words, Ling Qingxue's eyebrows knit together slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She did not take it to heart.

After all, she had long predicted these people would use every means to trouble and belittle her; if she didn't even have that much resilience, she would be too embarrassed to take over the Ling Family's enterprises.

"Enough!"

Sir Ling spoke up coldly, "This is a decision I've made after deep consideration. Even if Xue'er is a woman, she has the capability to lead the Ling Family."

"The matter is settled thus, unless you do not respect this old man any longer!"

In the Ling Family, Sir Ling's status had always been absolute, and Ling Ying and others could not do anything about him.

However, Ling Ying still pondered before saying, "Dad, wanting Ling Qingxue to take over the family's enterprises is not impossible. But shouldn't she at least demonstrate her abilities for everyone to see?"

Upon hearing this, the others agreed, "That's right! Let's see that ability of yours!"

Without fear, Ling Qingxue stepped forward, looking at everyone, "Uncles, what would you have me do?" Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
