Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Stand Apart_1

As the family head of the Leo Family, Mr. Leo naturally understood the ambitions of the younger generation within the family.

In the past, he tolerated their petty maneuvers, partly because of his own health and partly because he hadn’t found a suitable successor.

As Pu Xiusi stated, although Selena was his direct granddaughter, her gentle nature and aversion to conflict made her unfit to become the next head of the Leo Family.

While the younger generation of the side branches certainly had individuals of great ambition and outstanding ability.

Most of them were myopic, consumed with their personal power struggles and completely disregarding the well-being of the Leo Family.

If any of them were to become the Leo Family’s heir, it would only hasten the family’s decline!

In desperation, Mr. Leo publicly promised that whoever could cure his illness would become the next head of the Leo Family!

This was the biggest gamble of his life.

He thought he was bound to lose.

But against all odds, not only was his illness cured, he also found a satisfactory heir.

So as not to let the heir he favor ran away, Mr. Leo decided to act swiftly.

He pointed to Yan Ling and said to Pu Xiusi with a firm voice, "This swindler, as you call him, is my life-saving benefactor and the new head of our Leo Family!"

Upon hearing this, Pu Xiusi was taken aback.

His face in disbelief, he said, "Impossible! Belka clearly stated that the poison is incurable. How could he possibly have cured it?"

Mr. Leo’s face darkened at Pu Xiusi’s offhand remark.

But glancing at the servants around him, he hid his shock and dismissed Pu Xiusi, who was too astonished to move, with a gesture.

Yan Ling also shrewdly perceived the tumultuous undercurrents hidden within the vast Leo Manor.

This was a family affair, and she did not wish to intrude.

Because of Mr. Leo’s words, the servants of the Leo Family began to treat Yan Ling with increasing courtesy.

Yan Ling wasn’t accustomed to this level of meticulous care, insisting that she could do things herself, but the servants did not heed her, treating her respectfully as though worshipping a deity!

Feeling a bit suffocated, Yan Ling had no choice but to tell Mr. Leo that if the Leo Family’s people continued to be overly enthusiastic, she would have no choice but to pack up and leave.

Fearing that he might push her away, Mr. Leo immediately ordered the servants to be more measured, not to be overly enthusiastic and frighten their future head.

The servants were mystified.

They were used to being reprimanded by their master for not being careful enough.

It was the first time they had been criticized for being overly attentive.

Their future family head certainly was unique!

Once the servants dispersed, Yan Ling finally felt much more at ease.

To avoid trouble, she reiterated to Mr. Leo.

She had no interest in being the so-called head of the household and that he should seek a more suitable heir.

Mr. Leo, cunning as a fox, did not pressure Yan Ling further but agreed to search for another heir.

But now that the members of the Leo Family knew that it was she who saved him, going back on his word would mean breaking his promise.

He beseeched Yan Ling to accept an honorary title for the time being and help deal with the ambitious side branches.

Once a new heir was found, she would immediately be released from the responsibility.

If Mr. Leo had directly asked Yan Ling to be the new head, she would certainly have left without a word.

But with his humble plea, she found it difficult to refuse and reluctantly agreed.
