"Second Great Uncle!" Ye Wanwan politely greeted him.
This elderly man who was about 30-40% similar to Grandpa in appearance was Grandpa's real younger brother.
While seated, the august, healthy-looking elderly man said, "Back then, Eldest Brother willfully took you with him, and you've had an uneasy time all these years on the outside. However, it's good you're back. It's also time for you to shoulder this responsibility..."
The incident regarding the previous patriarch of the Nie family, who was Ye Wanwan's grandfather, leaving the Nie family because he was displeased his daughter got married to the descendant of his sworn enemy from the Ling family was a taboo topic in the Nie family. Hence, the elderly man merely looked morose and didn't delve too deeply into it, only giving Ye Wanwan a few words of encouragement.
"It's good that Second Miss has safely returned. I believe the Nie family will definitely flourish under the leadership of the Second Miss," another higher-up piped in.
The clan meeting quickly ended. Patriarch Nie finished with all his arrangements and left Yun City with Madam Nie two days later, heading to Jin City.
After Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie left, Ye Wanwan took advantage of her parent's absence and sent Tangtang to Si Yehan, telling him to take Tangtang on a trip by themselves for a few days. This was the quickest method to foster a deep relationship.
Then Ye Wanwan focused on learning how to manage a clan from her great uncles and the elders.
Thankfully, she had picked up some things from Si Yehan back in China for a long time, so she was familiar with these affairs already and conducted them rather smoothly.
As for what to do with Nie Linglong, Ye Wanwan planned to keep thinking of a way to investigate the power backing her.
...
Late at night, in a secret manor located in the city outskirts:
An elderly man dressed in black walked out from the hidden room and looked at Nie Linglong darkly, who was sitting on the sofa and playing a game of chess. "How's the progress with the Nie family?"
