Chapter 174: Family Banquet
"Grandpa. The three of them shouted in unison.
"Alright, sit down. Jinyang and Yinyang don't stand there, come and sit down. Butler, you go and fetch him for me, I'm going to eat soon, why haven't you come yet? Old man Shangguan said.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, Shangguan Lei came, "Dad, as soon as I came over, I heard you talking about me." I'm not too late, haven't I been served yet? Don't always say such things in front of juniors, I'm still the head of the family after all. ”
"Just because the food isn't served doesn't mean you're not late. Jin Yue, your mother said that she was a little uncomfortable, so she ate in the house, and I asked the servant to prepare more soft food for her, and when she had dinner, she would go and see her if she had time. ”
"Got it, grandpa. ”
"Mother is not feeling well, should we also go and have a look?" asked the two brothers, Shangguan Jinyang and Shangguan Yinyang.
"No need, there are too many people going there, and you will make a noise to her. I think it's enough for Jin Yue to go, after all, Jin Yue hasn't been back for a long time, so she should go and see. Old Man Shangguan directly vetoed their idea.
A meal, very quiet. However, this is probably the most tiring meal Liu Xuan has eaten in his life, and it is nothing if no one speaks. The point is that at the entire dinner table, it is a mind that I can't figure out.
Shangguan Lei didn't say anything, what is the reason why the old man of the Shangguan family is so polite to himself? Although it is a good intention, but his own family is indeed gone, and many people avoid it, he would actually agree to his marriage with Jin Yue, is there any other reason?
and the two brothers of the Shangguan family, it's really hard to explain. Although he still looks like a son of a family, he looks like a typical rich second generation, the kind that thinks about spending money without learning or knowing.
I don't know how the Shangguan family is trained, I heard that there are only these two sons in the family, and there are more girls and fewer boys in the side line of the Shangguan family.
Moreover, although the old man Shangguan didn't seem to be very satisfied with his son, he finally chose his son as the heir to be the head of the family, so it is even more impossible for a person like Shangguan Lei to choose a side line.
It's just that Liu Xuan felt that the gold and silver brothers of the Shangguan family didn't sound good when they met for the first time, and even the words of the sarcastic people were not tactful enough, and they didn't have everyone's demeanor at all, so I really didn't know how they were cultivated.
Shangguan Jinyue said that the family is not particularly patriarchal, but since the gold and silver brothers were born first, it will naturally not be particularly obvious. It's just that what makes me feel strange is that since they are the sons of the baby, why did the two become like this.
Even a gangster like himself thinks that the qualifications of the gold and silver brothers are too poor. It is simply the difference between heaven and earth with Shangguan Jinyue and Shangguan Yinyue. is also the children of the Shangguan family, and it is strange that the gap is so big.
After dinner, Shangguan Lei was called to the bedroom by the old man to lecture, because he didn't like the study, so he called him directly to his bedroom, and just finished speaking, he went to sleep directly.
"Jin Yue, you take me around the courtyard, I don't want to go back to my room yet. But because of some people in this house, the whole house is not very good, and I don't want to stay in the house. Saying that, Liu Xuan deliberately glanced at the gold and silver brothers.
"Okay, I'm just going to introduce you. During the day, I'll take you to the yard for a walk. I also have a flower room at home, which is very beautiful. Shangguan Jinyue replied.
"Yo, I really forgot my mother when I had a boyfriend. Sister, don't you forget, grandpa asked you to go see your mother, isn't she uncomfortable?" Shangguan Jinyang said in a weird manner.
"I'm ......" Shangguan Jinyue was interrupted before he could speak.
"Young master, it's not appropriate for Miss to go even if she wants to go now. Madame had fallen asleep, and she needed to recuperate. Miss is not coming back for a day, tomorrow or during the day to see Madame, it will be more convenient. The butler said from the side.
Shangguan Jinyue nodded, then smiled at the old butler, thanking him for helping him out of the siege.
"Liu Xuan, let's go out. ”
When he arrived in the courtyard, Liu Xuan saw Shangguan Jinyue and let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, you're so tired when you go home?" asked Liu Xuan with concern.
"You can see the current situation in my family, I think everyone will feel tired. ”
"Can you tell me about it, honestly, I'm really curious about your model. Liu Xuan said.
"Haha, I can't imagine it, everyone thinks how tall the Shangguan family is. I guess people who don't know me at all think I'm a person who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. Shangguan Jinyue laughed at herself.
"No, you're not, I know you're actually a fairy, and you've come down to save me. ”
"You, I know you're trying to make me laugh, but I can't really laugh right now. You know what? My two older brothers have been excessive, and they have been like this since they were children, even though they are older brothers, but they don't look like older brothers at all. Shangguan Jinyue complained.
"I guessed it, I could feel it by the way they looked and the words they spoke. I also wondered, why are you and Yinyue both very good, but the two of them are ...... After all, it's all your brother, and I can't say anything. ”
"I don't know, but I just know that there are any events at home other than big festivals or events. Basically, very few people will be full. You see, there aren't a lot of people in our family, but we still can't get together. Most of the time, both of them are not at home. ”
"Is it learning to do business, or is it studying outside like Yinyue?" asked Liu Xuan.
"Barely the first. But I don't know how they learned, anyway, they have been hanging in the company all the time, and they are getting paid, as for what kind of results they have made, at least I haven't seen it. ”
"I think the two of them are not just not close to you, except for the two parents, it seems that no one cares, and no one cares about it. You still look a little worried when you hear that your mother is sick, and the two of them are like no one. I know you don't want to go just because you're hesitating, but I don't understand the two of them. ”
"It's a secret of our family, of course you don't understand it. ”
"Secret?Could it be that the gold and silver brothers are not your brothers?" Liu Xuan guessed.
"Of course not. If they weren't my own brothers, do you think people like my father would allow these two people to grow up in Shangguan's family, and they have always been connived at like this. ”
"So, what is the truth?" Liu Xuan was a little curious.
"They may not be my half-brothers, or they may have been born to women out there. Of course, this is just speculation, there has always been such a statement in the family, but no one knows what the truth is. ”
"Your grandfather's family education is so strict, how can he still allow your father to have an affair?" Liu Xuan regretted as soon as he asked this.
Why did he suddenly become stupid? The Shangguan family is a big family, and it must be the same as everyone else, these things are all trivial, and they will pass with one eye closed. For them, even in modern society, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
"Who knows? Except for the person concerned, at most my grandfather knows the truth. But they couldn't have said it. When I was a little older, I can't remember exactly, and rumors began to circulate that in fact, Yinyue and I were born to our mother. But the family could not live without a boy, and at one party when others got drunk and laughed at their father, he couldn't help it. ”
"That's why you found a woman outside? That's not right, if that's the case, that child should be younger than all of you, even if it's a boy, it's a younger brother. ”
"That's why I said that my father has always been*. He always knew that he had a son outside in his early years, but he didn't want to bring it back, for fear of bad gossip. Although her mother is from a large family, she is used to forbearance, and she is very gentle with her father, so she will not fight at all. ”
"And then your father brought the gold and silver brothers home? But in this way, there will still be a lot of rumors, after all, your family has always had two children to the outside world, and they are well-known girls, and now suddenly there are two more children, and the explanation is not clear. ”
"Where is it so complicated? Big families know a lot of things, but everyone is just playing stupid with each other. My father claimed that my mother had been raised outside since she was born in her early years, and I originally believed it, because Yinyue and I were also raised for a long time when we were young. ”
"I don't think that reason can fool me. ”
"That's because you don't know our family. In the early years, my grandmother was not in good health before she died, so my grandfather accompanied her to the mountains to recuperate, and my father said that the child was placed with my grandfather. The little boy needs to exercise, and he can't be pampered at home from an early age. ”
"Your grandfather also helped hide it?"
"Otherwise, he also found out that he had two grandchildren, and he still loved my mother and didn't want them to have problems in their marriage. Anyway, they are two children who are already this old, and they don't worry about anything, and they don't exist to snatch anything from us. ”
"What about the real mother of the gold and silver brothers, she didn't take the opportunity to rely on her son?" Liu Xuan felt that this woman must not be simple.
"She thought. Originally, I kept the two brothers so that I could blackmail my father, but who knows, I suddenly had an accident. The child was also taken away by my father as a matter of course. ”
"No wonder they didn't have a good education when they were young. After coming to Shangguan's house, it is equivalent to flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, such a good day, people are decadent, where will they become like you. Liu Xuan sighed.
"Yes, after coming to Shangguan's house, I took care of happiness. My father also felt that he owed them something, so he doted on them. As a result, Yinyue is obviously the youngest, but she is often bullied, and I want to protect Yinyue, but I am also bullied. ”
"Didn't your father stop him? Didn't you say he wasn't patriarchal?"
"Stop? No, he doesn't have time to care about so many things in the company. Originally, after the grandfather went to accompany the grandmother, the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of the father, if it wasn't for the purpose of finding his son, it is estimated that he would not even be at home during that time. ”
"In the end, you can only endure being bullied? Liu Xuan couldn't imagine that this childhood would come from a big family, or a family like the Shangguan family.
My mother would reprimand them, and although they were not very sensible, they still respected my mother on the surface, because they knew that this person was the hostess. Although I don't know if they hate her in their hearts. ”
"There are so many people in your family, and it's so complicated. However, with such a life experience, aren't you afraid that people with intentions will make any rumors?"
"There are many such things in big families, and they are more complicated than ours, which is a small thing. Who cares about this. Moreover, how can it be said that it is also biological, so what can it be?"
"That's right. But in the end, they became two typical rich second generations, and they are not waste snacks, what's the use? On the surface, I have a son, but it turns out to be such a son, if you want me to say, it's really better to train you two sisters well, and even adopt one, I don't think it will be worse. Liu Xuan complained.
"I think you just didn't have a good dinner, and you're talking nonsense again. The big family pays the most attention to the blood relationship, how can it be possible to let the adopted child be in charge, if there is, I guess I will marry him, are you willing?"
