Chapter 21: Tell the truth, what's so to be afraid of
Nie Anxia stood up, crossed his waist with one hand, and stretched out his index finger with the other hand to point in one direction, full of shrew, cleared his throat and said: "Nie Anxia, don't think that now that there is an old man to support you, your little tail will rise to the sky!" Whether you can stay or not is not certain! ”
The blood on Zhuang Yuexian's face suddenly faded, and even Lu Shangqi changed color when she heard it.
Old Man Lu is still calm on the surface, and the lines on his face are slightly stiff, which looks very unnatural.
"You're spewing blood! I...... When did I say that? These words were not much different from Zhuang Yuexian's original words, and she was so weak that she couldn't even speak coherently.
"Auntie, don't admit it! Shi Chen was also present at the time, did you say that, he knew it clearly. Shi Chen, come and tell grandpa, what did your aunt say before? ”
Lu Shichen stood up reluctantly and looked at Old Man Lu with some embarrassment.
"You two just don't exist, some of my words, I'm true...... I can't say it. As soon as Lu Shichen's words fell, Lu Shangqi's originally gloomy face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of the pot.
Lu Shichen might as well not say this!
If he didn't say this, the old man might have passed as soon as he was vague, after all, he and Yuexian had been with the old man for a longer time, even if Nie Anxia, a new entrant, no matter how much he sowed discord, the old man would still protect the two of them more.
The bad thing is Lu Shichen's hesitant attitude, anyone who hears this matter wants to ask clearly, not to mention that there is something Nie Anxia said before!
Lu Shangqi's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing only a small slit, putting the faces of Nie Anxia and Lu Shichen within his line of sight.
Did he underestimate Nie Anxia too much?
Three or two sentences can turn the situation around, and lead all the spearheads to himself and Yuexian, he is definitely not a simple character!
"Shi Chen, let's make it clear, what did your aunt say? It's the first time I've seen someone who dares to make a small move right under my nose, and I don't know how to do it. ”
As soon as Old Man Lu said this, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Shichen.
"Grandpa, my aunt is my elder after all, and I can't say she's not. An An is this straightforward and fast-talking character, if you are unhappy, I apologize to you for her......"
"Say!"
Lu Shichen still wanted to defend a few words and fool this matter over, but he didn't want Old Man Lu to be in a state of anger.
A single tone mixed with anger suddenly came, Lu Shichen quickly closed his mouth, but looked at Zhuang Yuexian cautiously.
Zhuang Yuexian was already weak-hearted, but when Lu Shichen saw this, the whole person's emotions collapsed instantly: "What do you want me to do?" Your grandfather told you to talk! ”
Her voice trembled with excessive tension, and she was able to control herself from standing without falling down by clinging to the edge of the table.
"Then I said it."
Lu Shichen's actions caused a group of servants next to him to suddenly feel at ease. I don't know who sighed.
"The young master's life in the Lu family is too difficult, if you don't have the permission of the second wife, I'm afraid you won't even dare to say a word, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
The servants who felt the same way immediately echoed the voice, and for a while the restaurant was noisy, and there was no longer the silence before.
When Lu Shangqi heard Zhuang Yuexian's salutation, he suddenly couldn't hold his face.
"What's all the noise? If you have stayed enough at the Lu family, you can say it directly, and a large number of people outside are waiting in line to come in! ”
The Lu family has a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, and the discipline of being a servant is also very strict.
However, the treatment of the Lu family's servants is one of the best in the local area, the environment is beautiful, and the masters are not the kind of people who pick bones in eggs, and they are relatively easy to serve.
Working in the Lu family is definitely a big fat difference.
Therefore, when Lu Shangqi said this, everyone present closed their mouths, but secretly widened their eyes a lot, for fear of missing the super melon of this top wealthy family!
"Actually, what An An said just now is right, my aunt may really want to maintain a friendly relationship with us, but when she faces An An, her attitude is really not very good, and she may not realize this herself."
Lu Shichen also explained to Zhuang Yuexian at the beginning, and Old Man Lu frowned impatiently: "What you said is related to what you said before?" Shi Chen, what's the matter with you, why do you talk so much when you get older? How many times do you want your grandfather to ask these two sentences? ”
"I'm sorry, grandpa, don't be angry, it's all my fault, I'll just say ......it" Lu Shichen's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly lowered his head, looking frightened, and didn't dare to look at Old Man Lu's appearance anymore, "Auntie said, now the Lu family is the grandfather in charge, and it may be impossible to say who will call the shots in the future, let An An be honest in the future......"
"What did you say!"
With the roar of Old Man Lu, the loud sound of his palm slamming on the dining table suddenly broke the silence in the room.
Everyone opened their mouths wide open, and before they could shout in surprise, they quickly covered their mouths and didn't make any sound.
Lu Shichen closed his mouth at the right time, squinted at Nie Anxia beside him, and saw that the other party was also a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Nie Anxia has always had a lot of ghost ideas, and he wasn't worried that she would really be scared by the old man, but when he looked at Nie Anxia, a trace of crystal appeared on that little face with a big slap at some point, but it caught his attention.
Under his silent gaze, the crystal became brighter and brighter, and finally became a line and landed on the dining table.
Nie Anxia, is this crying?
Except for the time when he tricked him into taking out the Seven Elephant Exquisite Pagoda before, this seemed to be the first time he saw Nie Anxia shed tears.
However, at this time, he didn't care whether Nie Anxia was really crying or fake crying, because after Old Man Lu slapped the table, his eyes only swept in the direction where Zhuang Yuexian was, and the strong aura of slaughter made people feel the fear of death invisibly.
Even Lu Shichen, a figure who does not occupy the main position, felt an unprecedented coldness.
He knew that Grandpa was really angry!
Since his father married his mother, the topic of the successor of the Lu family has become a taboo topic for the Lu family, and it has become more and more intensified until the death of his father.
Old Man Lu only has one son left, Lu Shangqi, and now he is almost old, but he still has not announced to the public that he will be the successor of the Lu family.
No one dared to guess what the old man was thinking, and no one dared to think very highly of himself, thinking that he was the one who was chosen by the old man.
Even Lu Shangqi, the only biological son, has always been evasive when facing this problem, claiming to support any decision made by the old man, and he believes that the old man will definitely be able to choose an heir who can take the Lu family's industry to a higher level, regardless of whether that person is himself or not.
Now what Lu Shichen told Zhuang Yuexian is like a steel knife directly inserted into Old Man Lu's death hole!
Old Man Lu stood up from his seat with a snort, and said to Zhuang Yuexian with anger: "You really said that? ”
Although the old man is old, he is black and white, his pupils are clear, and he obviously does not reach the level of faintness in his old eyes, and his eyes are red at this time, as if he can spew out a flame in the next second!
"Dad, I ......"
Where has Zhuang Yuexian ever seen the old man get so angry?
Her frightened tongue was knotted, her eyes became erratic, and she inadvertently saw Lu Shangqi beside her, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior.
"I'm asking you, what are you looking around?" Old Man Lu's angry hands were trembling, but he didn't know why, even if that look was eager to cut Zhuang Yuexian with a thousand knives, he still couldn't bear it.
Zhuang Yuexian is Lu Shangqi's wife in the end, and now his wife is facing off against her father, if he, as a husband, doesn't even say a word, it is really unmanly.
"Dad, Yuexian, she ......" As soon as Lu Shangqi's words began, he felt a snort in his ears, a feeling that he was too familiar with.
Old man Lu was born as a military general, and he has always believed in filial piety under the stick, and he has never been ambiguous about beating the two Lu Shangqi brothers.
But this time it made him unexpectedly tight, because his face did not feel any pain at all, and he opened his eyes nervously, and his father's wrinkled hands stayed at a centimeter from his cheeks.
In front of him, Old Man Lu gritted his teeth, glared at Lu Shangqi viciously, and withdrew his hand.
The hall suddenly fell silent, Old Man Lu didn't say a word, and he didn't even dare to gasp with all the faces.
"That's it, I'm old, and the entire Lu family will be your world in the future, so let's toss it."
I don't know how long it took, Old Man Lu sighed heavily, and left the restaurant with the support of the old housekeeper.
Even though the old man had left, neither of the two pairs at the table spoke, and the eyes of the four people were intertwined, not knowing whether they were secretly resisting each other, or because of the old man's actions, they were at a loss.
In the end, it was Nie Anxia who took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Lu Shichen, I'm tired, go back to the room first." ”
Lu Shichen followed closely behind Nie Anxia and returned to the room.
The scene in the restaurant made Nie Anxia have mixed feelings in his heart, and he had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say, and finally turned into a pot of paste, and he couldn't figure out a clue at all.
"Lu Shichen, obviously looking at his grandfather's appearance, he is already about to fight, why can he still stop at that time?"
Grandpa Lu is clearly in a state of anger!
Lu Shichen thought about it, but suddenly respected his grandfather.
As Nie Anxia said, the old man was so angry that he could still hold back his temper, which shows his strong self-discipline, if he didn't know that Nie Anxia's purpose was the Seven Elephants Exquisite Tower, he would immediately have murderous intentions, but he has also endured it to this day, and he doesn't know what kind of situation it will be.
"Lu Shangqi is our elder after all, if he slaps him in the face in front of us, and the Lu family hands it over to Lu Shangqi in the future, how will he serve the public? Even if they are forced by the identity of the heir and the power of the Lu family, people dare not resist, and their reputation is already stinking. Besides, today's things are not as simple as they seem. ”
Nie Anxia nodded thoughtfully.
As the head of the family, the old man naturally has to think about everything.
"Don't look at Grandpa Lu's age, his brain is not confused at all!"
This sentence sounds like I don't know if it's a little more of a sigh or a little more of a worry.
