Chapter 1402: Something Isn't Right Anymore
The head of the family, Chen Xiong, came to the door with a wild woman outside! Not only did he bring an illegitimate daughter, but she also looked to be about 20 years old......
This news, almost like a whirlwind, has already spread throughout the entire Chen family compound in an instant, so that the hundreds of people in the compound all know.
That's right, there are indeed hundreds of people living in the old mansion compound of the "Jingdong Chen Family", and in fact, the same is true of the other three major families.
The old mansions of the four great families are all rebuilt from the mansions of the princes in the old dynasties in the past, and the area is very large, and generally speaking, the direct and collateral descendants of the four major families all live here, plus some subordinate people with foreign surnames and the like, there are really not many hundreds of people, and there are more who work outside on errands, or do business or something, and they don't live in the old mansion for a long time.
There is an old saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Although it is a big family, hundreds of people live together, and it is a fool who will not believe it if there is no faction.
First of all, the direct line and the collateral line definitely do not belong to the same camp, and secondly, even within the direct line, the head of the family and the wife of the head of the family are often two different factions.
As for the side line, aside from the side line of the previous head of the family, there are three branches of this generation of family heads alone, the direct line of this generation is the head of the family Chen Xiong, and the side line is Chen Xiong's three brothers, although these three brothers do not all live in the old mansion of the Chen family, only one person has lived here for many years, but the descendants of the other two families also live in the old house, and they have also formed their own factions.
For these side families, the news that the wild woman who was outside Chen Xiong, the head of the family, came to the door with an illegitimate daughter, was tantamount to a great piece of good news.
In fact, although the person on the side of the head of the family's wife is a direct line, they should have stood on the side of the head of the family, Chen Xiong, but on the one hand, what happened this time was such a thing, and ordinary women basically would not tolerate it, and on the other hand, ...... The wife of the head of the family, Lin Qiaoyin, obviously also misunderstood.
Ten years ago, there was already a woman who came to the capital to find Chen Xiong, and that time, she secretly instructed her adopted son Chen Ao to solve the woman's secret, and the hotel where she stayed was almost burned to ashes.
In fact, Lin Qiaoyin already has a lot of opinions about that matter, for so many years, she and Chen Xiong only have a daughter and a son, although her daughter Chen Wanning has been fine, but her son has disappeared since he was a child.
Because of this, when she knew that Chen Ao still had the heart to raise a woman outside, Lin Qiaoyin was very angry, and it was from that time that there was an estrangement between the husband and wife, but because the woman had been removed, Lin Qiaoyin had been cold to Chen Ao in the past ten years, but at least the couple were still harmonious on the surface.
But this time it was different, she was really angry!
I thought that Chen Ao raised a woman outside last time, and it was just a moment of confusion, and it must be the only time, but I didn't expect that today, suddenly another wild woman came to the door, and she also brought a twenty-year-old illegitimate daughter...... Twenty years old!
Twenty years ago, not long after his son's disappearance?
This ruthless and unrighteous guy, his own son has just disappeared, and he actually started to mess with women outside, and he has been hiding it for 20 years, his heart is ...... It's huge!
No wonder it's been 20 years, but the missing son has never been found, everyone has a new woman outside, and they have given birth to an illegitimate daughter, all their thoughts have been rushed over there, where is there any heart to find their son?
It's a shame that I've been looking forward to it every day for the past 20 years, just hoping that one day he will suddenly bring a handsome guy back from outside, and then happily say that this is his son...... killed a thousand knives, so that the old lady waited for twenty years in vain!
These thoughts poured out of her mind, Lin Qiaoyin was completely angry at this moment, and unconsciously, her attitude towards today's incident almost coincided with the thoughts in the hearts of the three side clansmen within the Chen family, that is, she must take this opportunity to ruthlessly drop the face of the head of the family, Chen Xiong, and make him look good!
This is really a big misunderstanding, if you let Lin Qiaoyin know that the woman who came to the door this time is actually the one who has been burned to death in her cognition ten years ago, and whether it is ten years ago or now, all of this is her adopted son in the middle, I really don't know what she should think.
Soon, Wang Chao, Meng Yiyi, and Meng Yusheng, mother and daughter, who were waiting outside the main gate of the Chen family's mansion, were invited into the house, and it was the main hall of the main house where the clan usually deliberates, an indoor hall with a large area.
And here, there are already a lot of Chen family members gathered at the moment, and many people from the older and younger generations of the direct and side lines have come, and there are hundreds of people gathered around.
Regardless of whether they were gloating in their hearts or really worried and worried, at this moment, the hundreds of Chen family members gathered around the main hall of this main mansion had almost the same look on their faces.
That is indignation, contempt, and at the same time a scrutiny and contempt!
In their eyes, among the three people who walked in at this time, aside from the man, the two women, that is, the mother and daughter, one is a shameless wild woman, and the other is an evil seed that should not appear in this world. In this case, the clansmen of the Chen family, regardless of whether they are direct or sideline, naturally no one will have any good feelings and faces towards them.
At this time, among the hundreds of Chen family members gathered around, more than a dozen clansmen of the older generation had already taken their seats, and the seat at the top was empty, which was the position of the head of the family, Chen Xiong, and no one had arrived at this moment. The other sat Lin Qiaoyin, the wife of the head of the house, a dignified woman who still had charm and looked less than forty years old.
The eyes of the hundred or so people all converged directly, and they were all obviously all of them with unkind faces, such a formation gave Meng Yiyi and Yi Yusheng a lot of pressure on the mother and daughter.
Meng Yiyi's face was a little pale, a little afraid, hiding behind her mother, while Meng Yusheng was frowning, she always faintly felt that something was not right, the expressions on the faces of hundreds of people in the Chen family didn't seem to be the kind of head of the family who was dying of a serious illness, there was no sadness at all, but full of anger......
