Chapter 026: Things Are Not as Simple as They Seem
The arrival of these four uninvited guests suddenly plunged the entire scene into an eerie silence.
Judging from Liu Xincheng and Mei Ruolin's reactions at this time, they didn't know that these four people would come back suddenly.
And based on my understanding of the Liu family, in addition to Liu Cheng, the other three of these four people should be the eldest sister of the Liu family, Liu Di, and the eldest brother, Liu Qian and his wife.
After a few seconds, Liu Xincheng asked in a deep voice:
"It's not a weekend, so why are you all free to come back?"
"Dad, we're here to ...... today"
Liu Qian, who has always been rumored to be loyal and honest, was the first to speak, and a simple smile immediately appeared on his face. 、
However, before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Liu Di beside Liu Cheng:
"Dad, I heard that you claimed Liu Qing's illegitimate son outside without our consent, is this true?"
Liu Di was wearing a red dress with gaudy makeup, permed short fuchsia hair, and was aggressive as soon as she spoke.
Liu Di, the eldest sister of the Liu family, is also the most enthusiastic object of our gossip magazines.
She is married and divorced for the second time, and now she is single, and she occupies a vacant position as a director on the board of directors of Yida Group, but she rarely shows up for her post, and she is a typical spoiled rich daughter.
Over the years, she has gradually been snubbed by Liu Xincheng because of her inappropriate words and disorderly behavior, but she herself did not realize it, relying on the identity of the eldest lady of the Liu family to do her own thing.
"Liudi, it's rare for you to go home, how can you talk to your dad like this? Did you come back today to question your father? ”
Liu Xincheng said nothing with a calm face, and Mei Ruolin didn't seem to be able to look past it, so she asked Liu Di rhetorically.
"Dad, we just think it's strange, this Liu Qing hasn't liked women very much, how could he suddenly ...... Bring back an illegitimate child? ”
"Yes, Dad, I heard that you are planning to throw a birthday party for his illegitimate son. This...... How can this work? ”
Liu Qian said with a difficult face, as soon as he finished speaking, his wife Qin Xiangruo immediately helped.
However, it is said that Liu Qian is the most incompetent among the three sons of Liu Xincheng, so he has not been treated by Liu Xincheng since he was a child, and now he is managed by Yida Group, which is also the marginal business of Yida Group.
His wife Qin Xiangruo is a small star who is not in the stream, there were a lot of scandals before getting married, and the two of them have not had children for a long time after marrying him, so they are not treated by Liu Xincheng.
"Do I like men or women, does my eldest brother know better than me? I thought you came back to congratulate me, but I didn't expect it...... You're here to pour cold water on you. ”
Liu Qing stood in place with a sponge in one hand, his face had condensed into ice, he frowned slightly, and looked coldly at the four people who came over.
"Little brother, the eldest brother doesn't mean this, the eldest brother is ......"
Liu Qian was so provoked by Liu Qing that he suddenly didn't know how to respond to Liu Qing's words.
This time, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Cheng again:
"Who says we didn't come to congratulate? Of course, we are here to congratulate, but before congratulating, we as brothers and sisters must find out the truth, after all, my father is still sick. ”
"Liu Cheng, your father's illness has been cured, and the sponge matter has been confirmed by the lawyer, you know all this. Why do you still say that? ”
Mei Ruolin heard Liu Cheng say this, so she was busy and shouted loudly.
"Aunt Mei, this matter is a family matter of our Liu family, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you, and I bother you not to meddle with a mouse!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Di didn't give Mei Ruolin any face, and then said aggressively.
At that moment, Mei Ruolin's face turned pale instantly, and she was so angry by Liu Di's excessive words that she trembled all over, and she was dumbfounded and couldn't say half a sentence.
Because she has never given birth since marrying Liu Xincheng, although Mei Ruolin married into the Liu family as a wife, she has no real power in the Liu family, so the three brothers and sisters of the Liu family did not take her seriously for a while.
Or because of this, she will spare no effort to help Liu Qing, who has always been very polite to her.
"Are you finished?"
Just after Liu Di said this, Liu Xincheng opened his mouth coldly, and his face was already showing a thick anger.
He rested on his crutches with one hand, and although he appeared calm, the hand holding the crutches trembled slightly.
Steward Li, who had followed him for many years, quietly asked people to move the Taishi chair over, helped Liu Xincheng to sit down, and then wiped the sweat from Liu Xincheng's forehead with a tissue.
It is obvious that although Liu Xincheng's spirit has improved a lot, his body is still weak, but he is just trying to maintain the style of the head of the family.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the children below him were still afraid.
For a moment, the scene returned to a state of silence again.
He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, took the ginseng tea brought by Steward Li, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said slowly:
"I was going to talk to you about Sponge at his birthday party. Today, since you're all here, that's fine. It took so long for our Liu family to finally have grandchildren, you uncles and aunts should be happy, why are you all angry? ”
Liu Xincheng's tone was as gentle as possible, and at the same time, Mei Ruolin squatted beside him aggrievedly, although he did not bow his head, he still reached out and gently stroked Mei Ruolin's hair twice to show comfort.
However, Rao was Liu Di so blatantly aimed at Mei Ruolin, and he never said that Liu Di was not.
Seemingly...... In the end, there is still a difference between a biological daughter and a little wife, and it is no wonder that Liu Di dares to argue with Mei Ruolin so blatantly.
"Daddy-" Liu Di dragged out his tone at this time, walked to the other side of Liu Xincheng and squatted down, his voice immediately became much softer, "You don't know at all, things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and there is no inside story." ”
"The paternity test report has been confirmed by the lawyer, I really don't know, what is the inside story that the eldest sister is talking about?"
Liu Qing had already asked Liu Liu to hold the sponge aside, he didn't know when he stood by my side, took the initiative to hold my hand in front of everyone, and then said coldly.
"Hmph-" Liu Di snorted coldly, stood up and looked at Liu Qing and me with a sneer, with a deep disdain for me in his eyes:
"Liu Qing, you are really not picky, this kind of woman of unknown origin, you dare to bring it back to the Liu family, when did the threshold of our Liu family become so low?"
"If you want to say that you are not picky, the eldest sister is really not qualified to talk about me. What kind of goods are the two ex-brothers-in-law you picked, you must know better than anyone else. ”
Liu Qing didn't let him sneer at each other.
As soon as the words came out, Liu Di's face suddenly turned pale, and Mei Ruolin, who was originally commanded by Liu Di, couldn't help but let out an obvious sneer at this moment.
Liu Di's two ex-husbands, one is a driver, and the other is a young master in a nightclub, although Liu Di was packaged as a pseudo-rich and handsome, but not long after getting married, he was immediately picked up by the gossip media.
This inglorious history made Liu Di's face extremely embarrassed in an instant.
"Liu Qing, you...... You don't even take my eldest sister seriously! She yelled angrily, and then suddenly pointed at me and said loudly, "Dad, this woman not only seduced Liu Qing, but also slept with her second brother!" ”
Liu Di's voice was very loud, and when she roared like this, the entire living room was filled with her voice in an instant.
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xincheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes were about to pop out, and then his voice became much sharper:
"What did you say?!"
I had already expected the arrival of this pass, but I didn't expect that Liu Di would directly expose the matter, and I was shocked for a while.
Liu Qing obviously felt my panic, he held my hand tightly, and his words were already unprecedentedly calm:
"Dad, do you think it's possible?"
Liu Qing's extreme calmness made Liu Xincheng's complexion a little soothed.
At the same time, he shifted his gaze to me, and there was so much intimidation in the eyes of those years that I didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"But it's impossible, Dad, you might as well ask her yourself."
Liu Cheng sneered, and then stepped forward and said respectfully to Liu Xincheng, after finishing speaking, he turned to look directly at me and gave me a look that was neither yin nor yang.
Without waiting for Liu Xincheng to ask, I immediately said without humility or arrogance:
"Dad, this is absolutely impossible, I'm not as casual as my eldest sister said!"
"Dad, I believe in Xiao Ning, she is a girl with a simple and kind personality."
Liu Qing then spoke.
"Simple and kind character? Hehe......" Liu Cheng repeated Liu Qing's words, and then sneered and slanted his gaze, "Liu Qing, I'm afraid you may not know the origin of the relationship between me and her four years ago." ”
I never thought that in front of everyone, Liu Cheng would openly shake this matter out.
Liu Xincheng's face turned a terrifying blue purple again, and Mei Ruolin was also taken aback.
Liu Qian and Qin Xiangruo glanced at each other and looked a little interested, but Liu Di couldn't hold back his smug look at this time, and stepped forward to add fuel and vinegar to say:
"I heard that this child was born four years ago, and this woman took the initiative to climb into the second brother's bed four years ago in order to enter the finals of the dance competition...... In my opinion, this kid may be the second brother's. ”
"It's nonsense!"
As soon as Liu Di's words fell, he only heard a "clang", and Liu Xincheng threw the crutches in his hand to the ground.
He trembled uncontrollably, and his gaze was like that of a murderous tiger, and he seemed to be angry to the extreme.
"Dad, I know all these things! But that's not the case! ”
Just when Liu Xincheng's thunderous fire was about to break out, Liu Qing once again calmly spoke loudly, as if he had already made up his mind.
However, I didn't have the slightest preparation in my heart, so I didn't know what kind of story Liu Qing would use to block the mouths of Youyou next......
