Chapter Seventy-Eight: The True "Buddha"
"If you have anything to say, wait until you get to country N."
Li Yanting no longer cared about Mrs. Xiao's stunned expression, and boarded the plane together with Sheng Wanning's waist.
During the five-hour journey, Sheng Wanning closed her eyes and slept in the dark. It wasn't until the plane approached its destination that the discomfort of the fuselage descent forcibly woke her from her sleep, "Wolf? The wolf is coming?!" She exclaimed.
The people in the first class, especially Li Sanqing and Mrs. Xiao, looked at her like fools.
Li Yanting put away the magazine in his hand, stroked her head with his hand, and coaxed, "Sleep, it's not here yet."
She seemed relieved and was about to go back to sleep.
Overheard: "Dear passengers: we have arrived at our destination safely, please take your ......"
The melodious and crisp voice of the radio sounded, and Sheng Wanning's eyes were stunned, "Didn't you say that it hasn't arrived yet?"
Li Yanting's face was calm, and his slender fingers flicked the bangs on her forehead, and his movements were gentle, "Sleep if you want, fall asleep, I'll carry you off the plane."
"Uh...... That's not necessary."
Let him hold out of the station, how ugly is this...... She's not paralyzed...... Sheng Wanning quickly sat up straight.
Li Yanting intimately handed her a glass of water.
The intimate figure of the two fell into Li Sanqing's eyes, and the pair of red pupils were full of flames, and asked Mrs. Xiao next to him meaningfully, "Qinglan, you are old, have you ever seen a fraudster who is not afraid of death dare to provoke the Li family in the past few decades?"
Old? Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Is there anyone who talks like that?
However, the young man in front of her was her elder, and she didn't dare to speak out if she was angry.
She suppressed her anger and tried to maintain her composure as she spat out a few words, "I haven't seen it."
At most, there are some commercial spies, but they can't escape the intelligence network of the Li family.
"Oh, you'll see it soon."
Li Sanqing hooked the corners of his mouth meaninglessly.
The weather in country n is colder than in China, with light rain.
As soon as he got out of the airport, the cold wind blew across Sheng Wanning's back ridge, the top of his head was shrouded in a black umbrella, and his body was quickly wrapped in a thick woolen coat and the temperature in the man's arms, and the warmth surged.
She unscrupulously took his arm and smiled, bending into two charming crescents.
In addition to Li Sanqing alone, Mrs. Xiao followed Li Yanting and her, and the three of them got into a retro Rolls-Royce car together, passing through the long west coast, the magnificent sea-crossing bridge, and finally landed on the quiet island.
In the heart of the island, a luxurious Romanesque villa is surrounded by lush greenery, with a majestic courtyard, a corridor of 24 columns, and an abundance of frescoes and elegant patterns along the way.
"Miss, young master, welcome home."
On either side, two rows of uniformed and dignified bodyguards shouted in unison.
The young lady was referring to Mrs. Xiao.
The young master is Li Yan Ting.
Upon entering the lobby, Baccarat crystal lighting, Murano glass chandeliers, vintage-style tapestries and intricate stone floors add to the grandeur of this palatial villa.
Directly in front of them stood three seats, two white-haired old men sitting on either side, but the seat in the middle was vacant.
As for the seats next to the hall, there are not only young masters and young ladies of the younger generation, but also older celebrities, gentlemen and ladies, and there are nearly 100 people on the left and right.
Oh no, she was horrified. Li Yanting has so many relatives, how can he recognize him?
Sheng Wanning's whole body stiffened, but the man next to her silently clenched her hand, and explained softly: "Approaching the Stone Appraisal Conference, all distant relatives are here, and there are a lot of people."
It turned out that these nearly 100 people included distant relatives.
That's okay, after all, distant relatives don't have a lot of contact on weekdays, Sheng Wanning was relieved to think that she didn't need to remember so many people's faces.
Who knew that in the next second, he heard Mrs. Xiao squinting slightly beside him and laughing: "Yan Ting, except for the three who are the current heads of the Li family, the other people present are all our uncles and aunts, you say that they are distant relatives, it will make the big guy feel cold."
Sheng Wanning's relieved breath suddenly rose again.
Uncle and aunt?
This is not a distant relative...... There is a black line on the top of her head, it seems that this powerful president is really like his appearance, not close to people! If this is in China, I am afraid that it has been kicked out by the family group of "a family that loves each other".
"One person is enough to warm his heart. The rest, it doesn't matter."
Yan Ting's mellow voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which made Sheng Wanning's heart tremble, and she was suddenly dumbfounded.
The ridicule of the previous moment disappeared, and the heart said: It seems that it is not close to people...... Not that bad?
The corners of her mouth rose inadvertently.
And Mrs. Xiao, who entered the hall next to her, was extremely surprised.
Among the other people he said, of course, she also included her sister...... Mrs. Xiao's face turned cold, and she didn't feel good in her heart: what a brother! Then don't blame me for helping others at the Stone Appraisal Conference!
"Why are you here so late?"
A sonorous female voice rang out. Z.br>
Sheng Wanning followed the sound and looked to the left of the side, and saw that although the old woman with crane hair and elegant clothes was over the age and holding a cane, she was sitting tall like a pine, her eyes were sharp, revealing a majesty that captured people's hearts.
That is Li Yanting's mother?
As he was just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a woman with curly brown hair like a white veil and a head as thick as seaweed standing next to the old woman.
The woman sneered, "Mom, Brother Yan Ting has always been punctual, and he must have been delayed by that fox-looking woman."
"Oh?"
The graceful old woman Zhou Jinxiu noticed Sheng Wanning beside Li Yanting.
Sheng Wanning didn't pay attention to her eyes, her gaze was firmly fixed on the brown-haired woman's face, and a scar loomed behind the white veil.
Is that...... Qin Ranran?
If I hadn't seen it today, I would have almost forgotten that Li Yanting also had a "sister".
Mrs. Xiao walked quickly to Zhou Jinxiu, sat down next to her, and said softly, "Mom~ I haven't seen you for a long time, is your body okay?"
"As long as you don't cause trouble, I'll be fine."
While speaking, Zhou Jinxiu kept staring at Sheng Wanning, her eyes darkened a little for some reason, and she scolded: "Yan Ting, don't come yet!"
Sheng Wanning's heart cooled a few degrees when she heard this cold voice.
This mother-in-law is not easy to get along with!
Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Li Yan Tingping held her hand and intertwined his fingers, leading her to walk over unhurriedly.
"Mom, I've kept you waiting." Li Yanting's mellow voice slowly fell.
Zhou Jinxiu didn't even give Yan Ting a look, didn't take his eyes off Sheng Wanning's face, and suddenly asked, "You are the girlfriend that Yan Ting mentioned on the phone?" What's your name?"
Sheng Wanning cleared her throat, and her face was full of neither humility nor arrogance, "Yes, Auntie, my name is Sheng Wanning, Sheng Wanning, Sheng, who is beautiful, who is late when the evening breeze makes wine, and Ning who is far away."
The voice is crisp and beautiful, not delicate and pretentious.
Zhou Jinxiu nodded with satisfaction, "The name is good, how old is it?"
"It is the age of flowers, and it is also the most beautiful time for women."
Hearing her answer, Qin Ranran snorted coldly, muttering in his mouth, "I'm really not ashamed."
Zhou Jinxiu was mixed with her sassy and arrogant answer, her eyebrows narrowed slightly, and her sharp eyes looked at Sheng Wanning carefully, only to see that she was wearing a strong trench coat, and inside was a gilt fishtail skirt, gorgeous and luxurious, and her bumpy figure was faintly visible from the open windbreaker jacket.
Look at her delicate facial features, moth eyebrows, clear spring-like pupils, and a bit of heroic spirit that is rare for ordinary women, she is worthy of Yan Ting!
Suddenly, a floral ribbon on the cuffs of Sheng Wanning's windbreaker rolled up at her wrist fell into her eyes. The ribbon didn't match the floral ornaments of her inner dress, and it looked a little out of place.
Zhou Jinxiu's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously looked at Li Yanting's wrist, and the position where he was originally tied to a stunning watch that symbolized the meaning of the heirloom was empty at the moment......
Her eyes lit up in an instant, no wonder the old man in the family said that he wanted to cook for the girlfriend brought back by Li Yanting! This father and son actually hid it from her!
"Mom, if you have anything to say, I'll ask after the family dinner."
Li Yanting's somewhat impatient voice sounded, "If you have anything to say, I'll ask after the banquet."
After speaking, I wanted to take Sheng Wanning's hand and sit down.
As soon as he approached the seat next to Zhou Jinxiu, he suddenly saw Qin Ranran sit down, occupying the only two consecutive seats, and looked at Sheng Wanning defiantly with a delicate and proud expression.
Li Yanting's face sank instantly, and Sheng Wanning next to him also froze.
Zhou Jinxiu glanced at the three of them, his voice sank a little, with an angry tone, "Today is the big day of the Li family, how can outsiders sit down."
"Yes, Brother Yan Ting, come and sit down~ As for this Miss Sheng, you go to the back and stand with those servants."
She also deliberately bit the word "maid" very hard, her voice was sharp and harsh, and she was extremely sarcastic, attracting the attention of the people around her instantly.
Sheng Wanning was stared at like a thorn in the back, realizing that this mother-in-law and Qin Ranran were embarrassed for her, she was unhappy in her heart, and she was about to have a seizure, but she saw Zhou Jinxiu turn to Qin Ranran next to her, "I'm talking about you."
"Although you are my goddaughter, you are not a member of the family after all, so don't hurry up." In front of the relatives of the Li family, Zhou Jinxiu's tone obviously did not have much patience.
"Mom...... I'm ......" Qin Ranran's voice was paused.
The surrounding uncles, brothers and sisters laughed when they saw this, "She is the young girl adopted by the eldest lady, if it weren't for her parents who sacrificed their lives to save the eldest lady, she wouldn't have been able to enter this door, she really thinks of herself as our family."
Even though Qin Ranran was covered with a veil, he couldn't hide his embarrassed face, and said aggrievedly, "Mom, Miss Sheng is not a member of the family......
"Nonsense!"
What does it mean to wear that watch, Zhou Jinxiu will not not understand.
She lost her patience with Qin Ranran, who was messing around, and felt sorry in her heart, this goddaughter used to be very obedient, why was she so ignorant on such an important occasion today, and a cold light burst out from her eyes.
Qin Ranran was so frightened by this look that she hurriedly got up, got up and stood back next to Zhou Jinxiu.
Li Yanting's face softened slightly, and he sat down with Sheng Wanning.
Suddenly, the hall shook up from the outside to the inside.
"Look, it's your third grandfather here! The last time this Buddha was seen was ten years ago, so you're still breastfeeding!"
A noble lady in the back said to the little boy next to her.
Sheng Wanning heard this, the third grandfather? Could it be...... Li Jingyuan!
She quickly looked out the door.
I saw an old man with a height of nearly one meter nine, wearing a Buddhist robe, a string of huge Buddha beads around his neck, and a Zen cane, slowly entering the hall, and a strong fishy wind was set off in the place he passed.
It is a murderous aura that has been in the blood field for many years, and it can't fade away even if it is in Buddhism!
