Chapter 1987  : Li Qingcang Refused to Be the Next President

The former president took a deep breath and said bitterly, “You’ll never understand how tempting power is.”

“We don’t care about that. We just want to know your connection with X.”

Xie Xuning had always wondered why the former president had done this.

The former president sneered and said, “I won’t tell you what you want to know.”

Li Xing and Xie Xuning looked at each other and smiled. Some people were just that ungrateful.

They had plenty of means to deal with the enemy.

“Come on, someone take the former president and let him rest.”

Everyone gathered in the Lang Garden that night. Xie Xuning announced an extremely important event in front of all his relatives: “Qingcang, I have discussed it with your father. We have decided to make you the next president of the Empire.”

Both Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang were shocked when they heard what Xie Xuning said. Li Qingcang replied, “Dad, are you kidding?”

Xie Xuning replied very sternly, “We are not kidding. We’re utterly serious.”

Li Qingcang said, “No, Dad.”

Li Qingcang rejected Xie Xuning’s proposal without hesitation. He didn’t want to be President. He just wanted to be Ye Tianxin’s husband.

Both Xie Xuning and Li Xing were stunned when they heard Li Qingcang’s refusal. Nobody thought that Li Qingcang would refuse to be the next president.

“Dad, my brother-in-law is the most suitable candidate.”

Xie Xinghe refused as soon as he heard what Li Qingcang said. “Qingcang, I don’t want to be President. Besides, look at my face. What kind of president would look this hideous?”

When Li Xingchen heard Xie Xinghe belittling himself like that, she stretched out her slender hand to hold Xie Xinghe’s. She said, “You look so handsome and manly.”

To Li Xingchen, her man was the most handsome one in the world!

Ye Tianxin said, “Brother, some cosmetic surgery can lighten the wounds on your face...”

Although Ye Tianxin didn’t know why Li Qingcang refused to be the next president, she had to agree with his decision as his wife.

The husband sings and the wife follows.

“No, I do not want to.”

Xie Xinghe didn’t want to become the president. He couldn’t do such a time-consuming job. He didn’t have such great aspirations and ambitions.

After he almost lost his favorite Xingchen, he knew better than anyone else that simplicity was the best. For him, the supreme right was just the icing on the cake; he didn’t need it.

Xie Xuning said, “You see, the younger generation doesn’t want to be the president, so you can take up the role.”

Xie Xuning had always doted on his children. As his son-in-law, he doted on Li Qingcang.

Xie Xinghe was his nephew, and he doted him even more.

Li Xing said with a straight face, “I don’t care. The next president has to be Li Qingcang or Xie Xinghe. The Empire we have today was forged in the blood of our forefathers, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to the Empire while I’m the president. That scumbag is a cautionary tale.”

Xie Xuning and Li Xing tried to persuade Li Qingcang and Xie Xinghe patiently.

Xie Xuning said, “Both of you are excellent juniors, and we all know that. Take this one as an example. If you were president, you wouldn’t secretly have issued any secret orders. The Empire is not anyone’s private property. You both think long and hard about what Li Xing and I said.”

Li Qingcang didn’t refuse again, but he said, “Dad, Mom, let me think it over again.”
