174 Don’t think I’m easy to bully

“By the way, who will be the second inheritor? There’s a third inheritor?”

who knows? initially, we might never find out. But now, if something happens to young master Jin, the second inheritor will probably be revealed very soon.

A few servants were guessing who among the many outstanding children of the Leng family would be the second inheritor. The discussion was in full swing.

“Are you guys done? do you have nothing to do? If you have nothing to do, then go find something to do!” Tong Lu’s heart was burning with anxiety. She suddenly heard a few servants discussing something about the second heir in the corner of the room. She felt an inexplicable anger rise in her.

At a time like this, she was not concerned about Leng Yejin’s safety. Instead, she was discussing who the second-in-command was!

The servants were shocked and immediately scattered like birds.

miss Tong, young master Jin will be fine. If something had really happened to him, there would be more news about him. The Butler lectured the servants and served them a cup of tea.”No news is the best news.”

Tong Lu nodded and returned to the living room. She stared at the television, eager to get the latest news from it. The television was busy analyzing the mastermind behind the president’s assassination. There were no new reports on Leng Yejin’s injuries.

Her trusted maid stood by her side and made her the fifth cup of flower tea. She waited with her for news. She was worried for her and herself. If young master Jin was not around, miss Tong would have no place in the Leng family, and her position as a trusted maid would be affected.

She had just followed the right master and hoped that her life would not be so bad. Her trusted maid was also silently praying in her heart.

“What do they mean by second inheritor?” Tong Lu was really annoyed from waiting. She asked her trusted maid about the matter.

The trusted maid said softly, ” according to the Leng family’s rules, three heirs will be chosen every term. Young master Jin will be the first in power, and there are still two other heirs. If anything happens to young master Jin, or if he makes a major mistake in the management of the family’s Financial Group, or if he does something that harms the family’s interests, he may be overthrown and replaced by the second heir. If the second inheritor can’t take on the heavy responsibility, there’s still the third inheritor to ensure that the family’s interests won’t be damaged by the mistakes of one or two people in power.”

Tong Lu suddenly realized that the Leng family must have a strict security system to ensure that the family’s honor and status would not decline because of an individual’s mistake. The Leng family was the top of the top ten financial groups and had been standing for hundreds of years.

“Who’s the second inheritor?”

The trusted maid shook her head. I don’t know. It’s a secret before the first person in power is in trouble. However, the descendants of the Leng family are all very capable, except for a few who don’t want to make progress. Currently, among the 78 men in the whole family, excluding the older generation and those who are highly respected, there are more than 20 young masters with extraordinary abilities in the younger generation. Among these 20 young masters, no less than five of them are particularly outstanding. It’s possible.”

there were a lot of rumors in the house before the old master died, ” the maid said softly. I heard that the old master has decided that miss Xu will be young master Jin’s fiancée. He asked them to get married within a year. If it was because of young master Jin, young master Jin might be removed from his position, and the second heir would be the one to marry miss Xu. If it was because of miss Xu, the Xu family would also choose another girl to marry young master Jin to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the political marriage between the two families. Besides, the key to the Leng family’s vault will only be given to young master Jin after he and miss Xu are married. Although young master Jin is in power now, he hasn’t gotten the key to the Leng family’s vault yet.”
