Chapter 867 Keeping You Safe
Song Mei stood out from the crowd, and said to Song Yuanxing very calmly: "Grandpa, I don't want to be the head of the Song family, and I hope you take back this order."
"why?"
Song Mei's decision also surprised many people.
So, Song Yuanxing stared closely at Song Mei's eyes and asked with a frown.
"Grandpa, you also know that my ambition is to be a doctor so that I can treat more people. It is impossible for me to stay in the family and be the head of the family who is constantly planning for the interests of the family. This is not what I want to leave Road. So, Grandpa, please help me."
Song Mei said very firmly.
She treated many wounded on the battlefield in Mozhou before, and later went to many places in the world to save lives and heal the wounded, and she also enjoys a very high reputation in the world.
Therefore, for Song Mei, staying in the family, dealing with intrigues all day long, dealing with some rich and noble forces to seek benefits, etc., is not the life she wants at all.
Song Yuanxing's expression immediately darkened.
He has been the patriarch of the Song family for decades, and he has always kept his promises. No one dares to question any of his decisions, but now, he wants to hand over the position of patriarch to Song Mei, but Song Mei unexpectedly does not hesitate. No matter what the reason was, it was also a challenge to his authority as the Patriarch.
"Song Mei, you have to think about it carefully. Many people are eager to get the position of Patriarch. Are you really going to reject me so easily?"
"I know that you used to be out of your hobbies, liking medical skills, so the family didn't stop you. But now, you are not too young, and you should take responsibility for the family!"
"If you don't like those entertainments and intrigues, then you can also leave these matters to your father to handle, but the position of the head of the family must be taken by you!"
What Song Yuanxing said was a concession.
This was also for Lin Chen's face, otherwise, if it was him who said he was right before, he would never have given Song Mei the right to choose and back down.
What he meant was actually very clear, the rights and responsibilities of Patriarch can be handed over to other people, but the position of Patriarch can only be taken by Song Mei.
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, and he knew very well why Song Yuanxing made such a decision.
He didn't care whether Song Mei was qualified for that position, but as long as Song Mei was the head of the Song family for a day, Lin Chen would take care of the Song family for one more day for Song Mei's sake.
However, even though Song Yuanxing has already made a little step back, Song Mei is still unwilling to take over the position of Patriarch: "Grandpa, I am really not suitable to be Patriarch, you should choose another suitable person!"
"You still refuse to agree?"
Song Yuanxing's face was covered with a layer of frost.
He had already made concessions for the first time, but Song Mei still refused to follow up, which was a bit ignorant.
In his heart, he had already begun to feel dissatisfied.
"Song Mei, don't talk about it, why don't you thank your grandfather for his appreciation and praise, and then pass on the position of Patriarch to you?"
Beside, Song Siming saw that the situation was not good, so he said quickly.
In their Song family, they may not be afraid of anything else, but what they are most afraid of is Song Yuanxing getting angry.
If Song Mei insisted on rejecting Song Yuanxing's intention, Song Yuanxing would be very unhappy and even angry.
Such a result was beyond what Song Mei could bear!
Although Song Siming didn't know why his father insisted on passing on the position of Patriarch to his daughter, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with taking over the position of Patriarch.
Even if Song Meizhi wasn't here, she didn't know or be interested in what to do when taking over a family, but the old man had just said that he could leave those things to Song Siming, the father.
In this way, Song Mei didn't need to bother at all.
The other members of the Song family also quickly said: "That's right, Song Mei, it's a great compliment to you that Grandpa can pass on the title of Patriarch to you. You dare to refuse this opportunity even if others want it. Grandpa! It's really too much!"
"Actually, with your aptitude and talent, you shouldn't be the head of the family at all, but since grandpa entrusted you with this position, you can't take Joe like that, right?"
"That's right, if you dare to confront grandpa face to face, in case you offend grandpa, I'll see what you will do!"
"Grandpa also thinks highly of you, so he entrusts you with the position of the family. If you, a woman, can get such an honor, you should burn the incense, but you still refuse grandpa again and again. I really don't know what to do!"
...
Most of the people who spoke were young people of the same generation as Song Mei, and they were extremely dissatisfied because Song Mei suddenly won the favor of Old Master Song and directly got the position of Patriarch of the Song family.
However, they didn't dare to say this kind of dissatisfaction to Mr. Song Yuanxing, so when they spoke to Song Mei, they couldn't hide the sour taste in their tone.
Even in the face of so much cynicism, Song Mei's heart has not changed at all.
She looked at Mr. Song firmly, and said repeatedly: "Grandpa, please take back the order!"
Now, everyone could see that Song Mei was not refusing to be the head of the family in a hypocritical manner, but that she really didn't want to be the head of the family.
For a while, the rest of the Song family felt extremely complicated.
Becoming the head of the family is such a good thing that other people can't ask for it, but Song Mei really wants to push out the family position that has fallen on her head.
Song Yuanxing didn't speak, but stared at Song Mei for a long time.
Song Mei also looked back at Song Yuanxing very calmly, without any dodge or retreat in her eyes.
After a while, Song Yuanxing let out a long sigh and withdrew his gaze.
"Well, since you are determined not to, then I won't force you. Whatever you want to do, just do it yourself!"
Song Yuanxing has completely regressed.
During all these years in the Song family, it was the first time that he changed his mind for a junior.
At this moment, he seemed to be several years old all of a sudden.
The children and grandchildren are all grown up and have their own ideas, and he is also old.
With such thoughts in mind, Song Yuanxing's whole body became a bit decadent, and his waist seemed to become even more rickety.
Song Mei looked at her grandfather, who had always been extremely strong and tough, and became like this because of her rejection, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable.
Although she really didn't want to be the head of the Song family, and she was very dissatisfied with the family's attempts to interfere with her marriage several times, but no matter what, she was looking at her grandfather who grew up, and suddenly saw him showing such an old state , Song Mei also felt very uncomfortable.
She looked at Lin Chen quietly, and gave him a begging look.
Song Mei is not an idiot either, she naturally knows why her grandfather suddenly decided to make her the head of the Song family.
However, if it is for Lin Chen to support and protect the Song family, it is actually just a matter of Lin Chen's words, and there is no need to take the position of the Patriarch himself.
Lin Chen also showed a helpless smile when he saw Song Mei's eyes.
"Patriarch Song, I can guarantee that as long as I'm here, the Song family will be safe and prosperous!"
Lin Chen looked at Song Yuanxing's figure and said.
As soon as he said the words, Song Yuanxing's eyes burst into ecstasy.
"Okay, okay! Then thank you, Mr. Lin!"
As long as you can get this guarantee from Lin Chen himself, that's enough!
