Chapter 33: The Xiao family is more terrifying than a flood beast
If Wen Lebai was asked what she cared about the most, her answer would only be one, Wen Yan.
Xiao Shang pinched her weakness, and even determined that she would definitely compromise.
In the dim car, Wen Lebai looked at the man standing outside the car door, and only after a long time did she reach out and put her hand in his palm.
The man's gentle, bony hand gripped her tightly.
As soon as she got out of the car, Xiao Shang asked her, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid. ”
The Xiao family is much more terrifying than the flood beast.
Wen Lebai tried to break free of the hand he was holding, but he didn't succeed. She looked at the man beside her who didn't change his face, her heart was beating inexplicably, but her face was still very calm: "I hope Mr. Xiao won't let me down." ”
She was referring to the transaction related to Wen Yan.
Xiao Shang seemed to hook his lower lip: "Naturally not." After saying that, he let go of her hand.
Wen Lebai unconsciously rubbed her fingers, as if there was still a man's residual warmth on her palm, she suppressed the strangeness surging in her heart and kept up with their pace.
Uncle Liu was already waiting at the door of the Xiao family's old mansion early.
He didn't seem surprised when he saw Wen Lebai behind Xiao Shang, and when they got closer, he greeted politely and respectfully: "Miss Wen, meet again." ”
Wen Lebai was restrained: "Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Uncle Liu nodded, then turned his head and told Xiao Shang: "Sir, the master is waiting for you in the study." ”
"I see. Xiao Shang had no expression on his face, and lightly ordered Kan Mo behind him: "Take Miss Wen in." ”
"Yes. Kan Mo nodded and walked in front: "Miss Wen, please follow me." ”
Wen Lebai glanced at Xiao Shang, and saw that he and Uncle Liu seemed to have something to say, so he didn't ask anything more, and the obedient went in with Kan Mo first.
Uncle Liu looked at Wen Lebai's back as he left, frowning slightly: "Is this really okay?"
He wasn't questioning Xiao Shang's arrangement, but he couldn't fully trust Wen Lebai yet, after all, everyone in the Xiao family was a difficult character to deal with, and if they were not careful, their plan would fall short.
Xiao Shang smiled and replied, "Uncle Liu, how many years have you been with me?"
Uncle Liu paused and muttered, "It seems to have been fifteen years." ”
"You watched me grow up, and you should know who I am. Xiao Shang stopped, his voice low and hoarse, revealing a bit unfathomable: "I won't do anything that I am not sure of." ”
In the same way, a person who has no use value, he will not waste a little thought.
Uncle Liu looked at the man with tough and three-dimensional features in front of him, and felt that what he was worried about might be superfluous.
……
Kan Mo took Wen Lebai to the courtyard behind the old mansion to wait for Xiao Shang.
Wen Lebai looked around, turned around, bored, looked at Kan Mo who was standing not far away, and asked him, "How long have you been with Mr. Xiao?"
Kan Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he was stuck in memory, and only replied to her half-loudly: "It should have been six years." ”
Wen Lebai was curious: "Are your parents also here?"
"I don't have parents. Kan Mo said calmly: "My life was picked up by Mr. Xiao." ”
Hearing this, Wen Lebai was obviously stunned: "I'm sorry......"
Before she could finish speaking, footsteps were heard behind her, and when they both turned back at the same time, they saw a handsome man slowly walking out of the shadow of the tree.
Kan Mo saw him, his eyes sank, and he subconsciously walked in front of Wen Lebai and called in a low voice: "Mr. Xiao." ”
Xiao Yuan directly ignored Kan Mo, and his sharp and playful gaze fell on the woman behind him.
