Chapter 584: Don’t Want to Be the Family Head

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zou Bai was the fourth son of the Zou Family. Back then, no one thought that he would become the head of the family. After all, he had three older brothers.

In order to snatch the position of heir, the sons of other families wanted to beat each other until their heads bled. Some even went to the extent of hiring hitmen.

However, none of the four sons of the Zou Family wanted to be the head of the family. The eldest son, Zou Fei, was not in good health and liked to draw. Other than drawing, he didn’t want to do anything else. He didn’t care about anything in the family. If he was forced into a corner he might end up hospitalized, so no one would dare to say that he would inherit the position of the head of the family.

In order to prevent future troubles, the second son, Zou Jin, joined the army and rose in ranks from a regular soldier. Other than the highest-ranking officer, no one knew his background. He was now a colonel.

This was all earned from his work on the battlefield. He had secretly carried out many confidential missions, and even his family rarely saw him.

A few years ago, he said that he had received a more important mission. Since then, he had cut off all contact. However, as long as the country did not send his ashes back, it meant he was still alive.

Because of his status, Zou Jin naturally couldn’t be the head of the family. All the pressure fell on the remaining two children.

The third son, Zou Xuan, didn’t want to be the head of the family either. He left the house with his bag and said that he was going on a trip. He hadn’t come back until now. Only postcards that were sent back from time to time proved that he was still alive. Seeing that he couldn’t be counted on, they could only give the position of heir to Zou Bai.

Zou Xuan would only occasionally go home to visit only after he was officially confirmed as the heir. However, he was already a professional explorer and wouldn’t stay at home for too long.

Now, the only people Wen Li could contact were Zou Fei and Zou Xuan. After she explained the ins and outs of the matter, she asked, “What should Mom do now?”

Zou Fei was not as good as Wen Li in this aspect. All he could think about was drawing. After thinking for a long time, he said, “I don’t know either.”

These words almost angered Wen Li to death. She hung up the phone angrily.

Then she called the next person and asked the same question.

Zou Xuan was more reliable than Zou Fei. He thought for a moment and said, “The root of this matter lies with Fourth Brother himself. As long as he’s prepared, things will be much simpler. Moreover, I don’t think he will like Chen Xiang. Since he was young, he would want to show off the things he liked to everyone. If he really liked Chen Xiang back then, he wouldn’t have been so sneaky.”

Wen Li felt that it made sense. Zou Bai did not seem to have said that he liked Chen Xiang in front of her. She had always been the one asking indirectly. After getting an answer, she would analyze it herself. In such a situation, she was very subjective.

“Mom, don’t waste your time here. Our entire family isn’t as smart as Fourth Brother alone. It’s better to tell him everything,” Zou Xuan said.

“I also want to help him. He’s the only one in charge of such a big family. Mother feels tired for him.” Wen Li sighed.

Zou Xuan smiled. “Mom, I think your worries are really unnecessary. He has been able to control the entire situation since he was young. He likes the feeling of guiding the country. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that he wanted to be in charge of the hidden guards when he was seven years old. We’re already grown up. There are some things you can let us do ourselves.”

“Dad is smart enough to get away early. He’s so happy now that he’s out sightseeing all the time. Why don’t you go with him?”

Of course, Wen Li understood this, but as a mother, she could never be at ease. She rebuked, “Even if you grow up to be 80 years old, you are still children in my eyes. Back then, your father had no choice but to go out to recuperate because of his old injury. Zou Bai was pushed to the position of the head of the family in an emergency. If I leave with him, who will help him?”

Zou Xuan knew that his mother had listened to him. She would definitely do as he said in the future. She just wanted to be coquettish with her child.

He quickly said some good words to coax her, and Wen Li’s worried heart finally relaxed.

After Wen Li ended her conversation with Zou Xuan, she made up her mind and called Zou Bai directly. She was going to gradually let go. When everything was over, she would go and look for her husband.

Thinking about the photos Zou Chao had sent her, she was a little envious. She said, “The old man was having so much fun. I shouldn’t have stayed at home. Zou Bai survived that dangerous time. It’s time for me to let him do whatever he wants.”

Zou Chao, who was climbing a mountain, sneezed loudly. His friend, who was climbing with him, asked, “Did you catch a cold?”

‘My family must have missed me.” Zou Chao chuckled..
