Chapter 153: Caught in a Trap (Fourth Watch)
Liu Xiangning was taken aback, turned her head to look, and her eyes flickered a little.
Liu Mingcheng, who was on the side, hurriedly explained with a smile: "Xiangning, don't be nervous, the banquet is about to start these days, in order to avoid idle people waiting to come in, this door must be firmly closed." ”
Liu Xiang nodded indifferently, she didn't think much about it, and continued to walk inside.
Zheng Yan was beside him, and he had already felt the temperament of a knife hidden in a smile exuded from Liu Mingcheng's body.
This Liu family's manor, in broad daylight, can rarely see people, the whole courtyard is lit up, the decoration is more lively than the New Year, but there are almost no people in the desert.
Such a contrast makes the surrounding atmosphere really weird.
"Mom, why does your home feel weird and a little scary?"
Xixi, this little girl, after cultivating her, her divine sense is also a lot stronger, and at this time, she also noticed something, and said it bluntly.
Liu Mingcheng's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he smiled at Xixi and said, "Xixi, what's strange about this atmosphere." It's just that those staff have already set up the scene, so naturally you don't have to come over, and tomorrow, you will know how lively this garden is. ”
Liu Xiangning actually felt the atmosphere of the entire manor, which was a little abnormal.
But her mind is not on this at all, she hasn't seen her grandfather for four years, and now, she is about to see her.
I don't know why, when she didn't see her grandfather, she seemed to have an infinite amount of things to say to her grandfather, but now she suddenly became a little nervous inexplicably.
In the deserted atmosphere, they were taken to the family living room.
The living room was so large that it took up a lot of space in a house, like a small basketball court.
When the family walked into the living room, she found that at the top of the living room, her grandfather Liu Hanyuan was sitting on a dragon-headed cane.
And beside him, the people of the Liu family, according to the size of the generation, sat down in turn.
Third uncle, fourth uncle, second aunt, third aunt, old aunt, eldest aunt...... Almost all the people of the Liu family were present, and they sat in a large area.
And the second uncle Liu Mingcheng, after sending them to the conference hall, came to the seat opposite him with a smile and sat down, and then, he changed his previous warm smile, his face was full of a dark smile, and he looked at her with a smile.
Bang Dang!
The door to the council chamber was also firmly closed. The atmosphere in the entire conference hall was a little depressing just now, and now, it is even more suffocating.
Liu Xiangning subconsciously took a step back, because she felt that there was a strange feeling in the eyes of those family members in front of her looking at her, this feeling made her very uncomfortable, and at the same time, there was also a feeling of unease.
"Xiangning is here, come here, give her a seat. ”
At this moment, Liu Hanyuan looked at Liu Xiangning lightly, and suddenly spoke.
Soon, a subordinate came up next to him, moved a chair, and placed it beside Liu Xiangning.
Chairs, only one.
Liu Xiangning's face suddenly sank, this was obviously not her husband in her eyes!
"I don't have to sit. She said coldly and kicked the chair to the side.
Immediately, she projected her gaze to her grandfather Liu Hanyuan.
I haven't seen him for four years, and my grandfather is getting even older, maybe once people reach this age, the speed of aging will be so fast.
In her heart, she was inexplicably a little sad, but soon, her face became cold.
"Grandpa, you asked me to go back to Liu's house today, is that how you entertained us?" she probably accentuated the word "we" to express her dissatisfaction with only giving us a chair just now.
At this time, before Liu Hanyuan could say anything, in the crowd, Liu Yanran stood up directly and said sharply:
"Liu Xiangning, what kind of attitude do you have? When you see your grandfather, you don't have to say hello, and you dare to question your grandfather?!"
She hates Zheng Yan's family now, her son Liu Qing has been beaten by Xixi last time, and now his face is still in the recovery period of burns, and the doctor said that Liu Qing's face will definitely leave a scar.
Therefore, if it weren't for her father Liu Mingcheng to stop her, she would have taken the people of the Liu family to settle accounts with Zheng Yan's family.
"Yanran, do you have a place to speak?"
At this time, Liu Hanyuan's tone was cold, and he glanced at Liu Yanran coldly.
With just one look and a word, Liu Yanran ran ran out of electricity, although she wanted to scold Liu Xiangning very much, but now she didn't dare to give her ten guts.
Stupidly, she sat back, and immediately looked at Liu Xiangning with a gloating expression.
Liu Hanyuan, at this time, projected his eyes to Liu Xiangning.
"Xiangning, you haven't taken a step into the Liu family for four years, and there is no longer this Liu family that gave birth to you and raised you in your eyes. How do you think we can welcome you back?"
His tone was very flat, but in the blandness, it was full of a taste of majesty.
When she was a child, Liu Xiangning was most afraid of her grandfather speaking in this tone, because once it was in this tone, it would prove that her grandfather was really angry.
But now, although she is still a little subconsciously afraid, she can already deal with it easily.
"Grandpa, you just called me back today, aren't you going to start digging through old accounts? I have a lot to say to you!"
"Presumptuous!"
Liu Hanyuan looked furious and slapped the chair heavily.
Liu Xiangning's body trembled subconsciously, and the whole person also leaned on Zheng Yan's body.
But after she eased up a little, she stood up straight directly, looking at Liu Hanyuan with an unyielding face.
"Okay, Xiangning, you really have hard wings, I really can't control you now. Liu Hanyuan muttered.
"In that case, Xiangning, I don't need to go around in circles with you today. I'm asking you to come back this time just to announce something to you!" he snapped.
Liu Xiangning's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Hanyuan's eyes stared at Liu Xiangning for a while, and then he said:
"Xiangning, you are cultivated by our Liu family, so everything you have has the credit of the Liu family. Therefore, since your company has achieved such a large scale today, should you also repay the Liu family's kindness to you for nurturing and cultivating?"
Although his tone was questioning, the momentum revealed between the lines could not be refused.
