Chapter 8: The Old Man of the Boomerang
As soon as Xi Miru finished roaring, she was covered by the woman next to her.
Yu Shanlan cast a dull gaze at her, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
This friend, although I thank you very much for your support, but the name of my aunt is too old.
Yes, Xi Miru's applause not only did not arouse the atmosphere, but made the long table even more embarrassing.
The silence continues.
After a long time, someone finally spoke to break the deadlock: "But isn't this the master who did it in the morning?" β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
Yu Shanlan couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and hurriedly looked at Xi Shaozhi on the side.
However, the man looked at her with a nonchalant expression, as if waiting to see how she responded.
You're too ruthless, aren't we?
Yu Shanlan wanted to cry without tears, and finally could only speak dryly: "Being a feng shui master is just my profession, well......"
In the crowd, the silent Xi En finally came back to his senses: "Shaozhi, should you?" β
Xi Shaozhi looked at him and quietly made a silent movement.
Xi En was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly seemed to suddenly realize, clapping his hands and saying, "Oh, it turned out to be you!" β
Yu Shanlan was inexplicably screaming at this voice, and he was suddenly grabbed by him and shook his hand.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky, oops, Shaozhi often mentions you to me!"
He winked at Yu Shanlan as he spoke, his expression a little funny.
Seeing that Xi En also came out to testify, the relatives of the Xi family immediately nodded and had no objections.
No, these people in your Xi family are all like fools, what shares do you need me to help you get?
Yu Shanlan turned her head and looked at Xi Shaozhi desperately, but the other party didn't even mean to ignore her.
When there was silence, Xi Miru stood up and gave a thumbs up: "Fourth aunt, amazing!" β
It seemed that she had been picked up, and the Xi family all stood up to congratulate, and several older ones even wanted to cross their seats to talk to Yu Shanlan.
For a time, the hall of the main building was noisy like a vegetable market.
Yu Shanlan covered Yu Wei's ears, and she was also collapsed by the chatter of this group of people.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask Xi Shaozhi for help, suddenly an old male voice came into her ears.
"It's all quiet."
Although this male voice is old, it is very penetrating and majestic, and the scene was silenced with just one sentence.
In the quiet air, an elderly figure on crutches approached slowly.
Yu Shanlan swallowed her saliva, she knew that this was the next big thing.
The old man's back was bent like a boomerang, but he still stubbornly approached and stopped in front of Yu Shanlan's face for a long time.
Facing him, Xi Shaozhi put away the lazy and leisurely moment just now, and finally spoke: "Second grandfather." β
"This is the woman you brought back from the outside?" The second grandfather's old face showed sarcasm, and his cloudy voice whistled like a bellows, "It's not unorthodox." β
Unorthodox?
Yu Shanlan clenched her fists, and the green tendons on her neck burst out.
Hey my little grumpy...... Xi Shaozhi is too unkind, and he didn't say that he would be scolded for acting in a play.
She was about to have a seizure while holding the child, but she heard Xi Shaozhi say next to her: "This is a woman approved by my grandfather." β
Xi Shaozhi's voice was low and sharp, and he spoke with a respectful attitude, but there seemed to be cold ice hidden in his words.
The old man also lost his temper when he saw his cold appearance, and snorted coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost, and bringing a wild child." No matter how confused he is, no matter how confused he is, he will not allow this kind of woman to step into our house. β
Xi Shaozhi's eyes were cold and clear: "This is my child." β
The two of them were facing each other, as if they were surrounded by a raging storm, making people afraid to approach easily.
Yu Shanlan hugged Yu Wei and secretly moved back a little farther away, she saw that these two people were menacing, and thought that they were going to take off their clothes and fight bare-chested.
The second grandfather and Xi Shaozhi looked at each other for a long time, and when they saw that the other party did not show weakness, they flicked their sleeves and gave an ultimatum: "This woman, I don't admit it." β
After saying that, the old man turned around with his crutch, apparently wanting to leave.
Yu Shanlan cautiously looked at Xi Shaozhi's face, but was suddenly caught by him.
I saw Xi Shaozhi with his head down, most of his face shrouded in shadows, and he was staring at Yu Shanlan viciously at this time, with a threatening glint in his eyes.
Yu Shanlan's pupils suddenly constrictedββ
- Big brother, what do you think I'm doing, do you want me to grab that old man, press him to the ground and beat him wildly, and force him to admit that I am your wife?
She frowned and didn't move, but she received Xi Shaozhi's more indifferent gaze, so she could only sigh and say resignedly: "Second grandfather, please stay." β
The old man's back arched high like a boomerang paused, and the old man's voice was cold: "What do you call me?" β
This old man...... It really reveals a kind of "you are also worthy" atmosphere from head to toe.
His words forced Yu Shanlan's temper to come out, and the woman hooked the corners of her mouth, and her voice was not loud or small: "Second grandfather, the eldest grandfather mentioned you to me before his death." β
The old man was stunned and immediately choked: "I will believe your nonsense? β
Although his mouth was tough, his body was obviously stiff, and his steps were getting slower and slower, obviously panicked.
Yu Shanlan took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Grandpa said that you never regarded him as a brother, and now it seems to be true." β
"......" The second grandfather really couldn't walk when he heard this, he turned his head and stared at Yu Shanlan with dead eyes, "You are talking nonsense." β
"Believe it or not, you know it best, don't you?" Yu Shanlan shrugged her shoulders with a smile and continued, "My grandfather died so miserably, his throat was cut, his heart was pierced by bullets, and he couldn't even speak clearly in the end. But you know, at the last second, he told me who he guessed the killer was......"
She stopped halfway through her words, staring at the old man with a hint in her tone.
The old man was obviously a little panicked, and a pair of old eyes stared at the woman in front of him: "You, blood spurting people......"
Yu Shanlan smiled in surprise: "I haven't said who the murderer is, you just react like this?" β
"Alright." Xi Shaozhi glanced at Yu Shanlan, who was talking nonsense on the side, coughed lightly and stretched out his hand to pull her back behind him: "It's not early, you don't have to worry about me and Lanlan, go back and rest early." β
When the old man saw Xi Shaozhi, who provoked everything, come out to play a round, although he was angry in his heart, he also pressed it down.
β...... Hum. β
He only let out a soft grunt, and then walked away again with his cane.
Sending the old man away, Xi Shaozhi also turned around and disbanded everyone on the long table.
