Chapter 678: Baskets of Tonics and Supplements

The Second Master of the Zhai family was incredibly busy. After staying for one night, he left the next day.
He departed before the sky became bright.
Perhaps, it was because of Master Zhai’s nagging.
After all, previously, everyone in the Zhai family was single. Master Zhai couldn’t marry someone again. Master Sheng finally found a fiancee. Therefore, the only one left was the Second Master of the Zhai family.
As the Second Master of the Zhai family’s age wasn’t too old, he could still have children if he worked towards it.
Therefore, Master Zhai wanted to nag his son again.
However, his nagging did not work. As a result, his eyes fell upon his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law.
Hmmm… What could he do to encourage her to become pregnant before marriage?
In order to make their family grow, Master Zhai was ready to be shameless.
And thus, Master Zhai continued down this terrible train of thought.
Early the next morning, Jian Yiling received “gifts of love” from Master Zhai.
He gave her baskets after baskets of tonics and supplements.
All of them were for her.
Zhai Yunsheng couldn’t randomly take supplements.
However, Jian Yiling could.
And thus, Master Zhai’s only choice was Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling stared at the baskets of tonics and supplements in the study room. The baskets filled up almost half the room. She did not know what to do with them.
Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng for help.
Upon seeing this, Zhai Yunsheng smiled: “Don’t look at your future husband. I can’t eat these things. However, you can. You should really try eating these things. If you do, later on…”
“Later on?”
“Later on, you will not collapse after doing surgeries.”

There was a meeting going on in Cai Ningxuan.
A group of people were seated in a small antique room. Males and females were both present. Some of them were older than the others.
Everyone here was well known in their respective industries.
Today, they were here to discuss the Zhai family’s new matriarch.
For other families, an engagement was merely just that. However, it was different for the Zhai family.
An evaluation had to be done on the future matriarch of the Zhai family. This was a rule that had been passed down by their ancestors.
And thus, there was a period of time for them to examine the Zhai family’s future matriarch.
If during this period of time, the future matriarch’s performance was not up to par, then the engagement would be canceled.
Typically speaking, this period of time lasted between two to three years.
After this evaluation, this person would officially be recognized as the matriarch of the Zhai family.
“I guess the matter is settled this time. It really is that little girl called Jian Yiling.”
The person who said this was an old man in his sixties. He had a fat body and a round face.
He was well respected in this group of people.
“Once I saw the pendant in Cai Ningxuan, I knew that this matter was basically settled. The Zhai family would not randomly give out that pendant. If Master Sheng gave the pendant to Miss Yiling, back then, he already made his decision.”
This time, a middle-aged woman spoke up. Her words and aura were not weaker than the man.
After this, other people expressed their views as well:
“The matriarch of the Zhai family affects our entire alliance. I feel like the Zhai family was too hasty with their decision.”
“Ahh, ever since the previous head of the Zhai family passed away, their power began to wither. Furthermore, the current head of the Zhai family is growing old as well. If this continues on, the Zhai family will be done for.”
“Yeah, I think it’s time to pick a new leader.”
A man in his early thirties suggested this. His suggestion immediately caused the expressions of the group to change.
