Today, Liu Siyi wore plain clothes and light make-up, and she still couldn't hide her graceful demeanor in plain clothes. Li Xinyao raised her eyes, and that gentle glance with a smile warmed her heart.Perhaps all children who lack maternal love will long to feel the love and tenderness of their mothers in their hearts.

She looked at Li Xinyao and smiled leisurely.

"Mom, you came back so early, let me introduce you, this is..." Ling Shangbei was going to exhale roses habitually, but after a second thought, he changed his name to "Liu Siyi".

"Hello, Miss Liu."

"Auntie, hello." Liu Siyi respected her heart. Li Xinyao had kind eyebrows, kind eyes and elegant demeanor. She is an elegant beauty who came out of a time gone by. All the stories are engraved in her occasional wrinkles.

She is always holding a book, neither sad nor happy, with a faint smile, as if she doesn't know how to socialize or say polite words, she is naturally comfortable, and sitting next to her will unconsciously calm down.

"Mom, I'll show her around."

"En." Li Xinyao was as calm as water, focusing on the book in her hand, as if she didn't have much to say, her eyes only stayed on Liu Siyi for a moment before moving away.

Liu Siyi looked around, how many open and secret conflicts were hidden in this Ling family mansion, and the turmoil was turbulent. This place made Ling Qianyu lose her self-esteem and joy, and also left Aunt Yu Xinyu with regret and despair.

There are four seasons in the courtyard, as well as clusters of flowers and clear springs, just like a garden.Although there is a bit of coldness in winter, because of the arrangement of warm-colored flowers, you can still feel some warmth.

There was a swing chair hanging in the corner of the yard, Liu Siyi looked there, as if he saw Ling Qianyu in the past, from childhood to adulthood, from owning to losing, thinking about her, her mood went up and down.

"Rose, what do you want to drink, scented tea, coffee or something else?" Ling Shangbei was warm and polite, always paying attention to Liu Siyi's feelings.

"No, you can stay with your aunt and leave me alone."

"She likes to be quiet and doesn't like to chat with people, but it's not that she doesn't like you. It's just that she has been like this for everyone for so many years. You will know when you are familiar with it."

"It's okay." Liu Siyi sat on the rattan chair and looked at this luxurious villa, like a palace, with four floors up and down, more than a dozen bodyguards, gardeners and servants, infrared surveillance inside and outside, guards all around, the life of the royal family and nobles But that's all.

It's a pity that there is only oppression and heaviness behind the luxury. Ling Qianyu's sadness and past are hidden here. Liu Siyi is sitting on the swing chair, with a calm expression, quietly in her own world.

Holding the book, Li Xinyao raised her head to look at Liu Siyi, and then looked up at the terrace. Ling Qianyu stared at Liu Siyi for a long time, her gaze was like a frozen frame, and she never looked back.

That expression, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock, also carried a trace of worry. When his eyes followed a person walking, did his heart also move?

Liu Siyi didn't know that she had become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of the people upstairs.

As the meal approached, the three and four came back one after another, and the bright courtyard became lively. They were surprised to find that Li Xinyao was here, but they also respected her very much. ".

It's rare that everyone is together, the third and fourth families have a good chat together, among the grandchildren, only Ling Shangyin is related to the second room of the eldest room, and she also has an older brother named Ling Shangtian, who is the most educated person in the entire Ling family , has just graduated with a Ph.D., and still wants to study further. He is an out-and-out academic master.

But because Sifang is going public, he is studying and working at the same time. His keenness and expertise in big data have allowed him to make a lot of contributions to Lingtian. It can be said that Sifang cannot do without him.

The family, who is not at peace with each other, will sit together for a so-called "reunion dinner" tonight. This formal gathering is just a way for Ling Yanxiao to comfort himself.

He knows better than anyone else that this position is occupied by capable people, whether it is a son or a grandson, whoever can stand out in this battle and kill the Quartet, even if he loses a little money, he doesn't care, it's worth it.

Inheriting a family business is a permanent matter. If you choose the right one, it will last forever, but if you choose the wrong one, the foundation may be destroyed.Ling Yanxiao will not allow himself to make a wrong move, after all, if he makes a wrong move, he will lose the whole game.

He will not disperse the shares to each house, he will not divide the property like the folks, how much is the son, how much is the grandson, he directly uses the big shares to let one of them take power and become the largest shareholder, and he will destroy the heirs who are banned All possibilities will not lose his country due to infighting.

The family banquet of a wealthy family is like an ancient palace feast, extravagant and extravagant.All the dishes are freshly picked and caught, and some are even airlifted in the afternoon. The chefs are all Michelin-level. There are five chefs and assistant chefs, and they make customized meals to suit everyone's taste.

Dining in a wealthy family is a very particular thing. There are standards from where you sit to table manners, and everyone is very formal.

Ling Changxiao is in the main seat facing east, with the second bedroom on the left and the third and fourth bedrooms on the right, sitting down according to seniority.During the meal time, no one dared to be late, one after another they all went to the dining table and sat down in order. Liu Siyi was sitting on the left hand side of Ling Shangbei, and the seat next to her should be Ling Qianyu.

The number of people in the first room and the second room is thin, and Liu Siyi is only four people, so there is a big difference in the number of people on both sides of the table, which is very inconsistent.

Everyone took their seats one after another, Ling Qianyu came late, Liu Siyi looked at the chair next to him, a little lost in thought.She has been here for so long and hasn't seen anyone. She should know that she is here. Liu Siyi doesn't know how to describe this feeling, and feels a little uneasy.

"This second sister is really getting more and more arrogant. She has only been the general manager for a few days, and she can walk sideways at home, and she is late for dinner." Ling Shanghan couldn't help complaining.

Ling Shangyu: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, the second lady is upstairs with grandpa."

Ling Shanghan: "Sure enough, today is different from the past~"

"Third brother, no matter what, the second sister is the head of the second room. No matter what her status is in the company, she is your elder sister. Third brother should be careful when speaking, so as not to be rude in front of the guests." Ling Shangtian is not old. His personality is very calm. When he was a child, he was called a nerd by his brothers. Now that he has grown up, he is proud of his education and profession. He only obeys those who are capable. He is very Buddhist when it comes to seizing the throne. It’s not that he doesn’t want it, it’s just I feel that my ability is not enough, not to mention that my father Ling Guozhang will naturally make arrangements.

Ling Shangyin answered: "Brother is right, the second sister relies on her ability and ability, if someone is not capable, then only those who are capable can come and sit."

"Shut up, talk well at the dinner table, and shut up if you can't talk." Ling Guozhang couldn't listen anymore. What's the matter with these two children? I don't know if the third room is the closest to the fourth room. Speaking of which, he and Ling Guoxun are the first Born by the second wife, they were always separated from the second wife by one floor, not to mention that they were on the same boat very early on, and it was almost a relationship where both were prosperous and both were prosperous.

Ling Guoxun squinted at the fourth room: "The fourth brother's son and daughter are still excellent. If we want to be better here, we won't end up today."

The meal has not yet been served, and there is already a hidden turmoil. Everyone has small thoughts, and the sharpness is hidden in the words, without the slightest affection.Liu Siyi has been silent all the time, she is in the same state as Li Xinyao, even though the stormy waves around her, she maintains an indifferent attitude that has nothing to do with her.

"Why, there are still people who are not satisfied with Xiao Yu being the general manager of Guan Zhuang?" Ling Yanxiao walked to the dining table with Ling Qianyu's support, and everyone immediately stood up and faced him, respectful.

Ling Qianyu helped Ling Yanxiao to sit down before going to her seat.She turned a blind eye to Liu Siyi's existence, stood there expressionless, and automatically blocked what she just heard talking about herself.

Although Ling Yanxiao sat down, no one dared to sit if he didn't speak, they all stood.He found Liu Siyi with his eyes, "This is Miss Liu?"

"Hello Chairman Ling." Liu Siyi turned around slightly, and bowed slightly to him, showing respect.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, but he also had the demeanor of an elder.Liu Siyi was neither humble nor overbearing, after she sat down, she accidentally glanced at Ling Qianyu's indifferent expression, her heart sank, she should be angry.

"Let's eat." Ling Yanxiao said, and no one dared to hold the chopsticks.

The rules and etiquette are really comparable to the imperial palace, which is nothing more than that of the ancient emperors. Although it is a family dinner, the atmosphere is very depressing.Fortunately, Liu Siyi is a calm person. Although he doesn't understand the specific rules, as long as he follows them, he won't talk too much.

Sometimes too many words will fail, and she is also mentally prepared.

On the table, abalone, ginseng, and winged belly, all kinds of top seafood take their precious parts, and after being cooked by masters, they become exquisite dishes.Li Xinyao is a vegetarian, and her meals are prepared independently. Although she is at the table, she only eats the few vegetarian dishes.

Liu Siyi glanced at Ling Qianyu from time to time, she was surprisingly quiet today, she wondered if it was also like this usually, she was a little uncertain.Could it be that he was so angry that he didn't even give himself a look, or was he pretending to keep a distance from himself, without showing any trace?

"It's rare that Shangbei brings someone back, why don't you introduce us?" The one who spoke was Sanfang Zhang Zifang, the most arrogant and tricky person.

Ling Shangbei didn't want to talk to her very much, but because of the scene, he could only answer with a smile: "Third Aunt really cares about me, Si Yi is my friend, and please uncles and aunts to save some face for my nephew."

He hinted that they should not be too difficult. Even the mother, the big mountain, has moved back. They will also pay attention to propriety, but they don't know what grandpa thinks.

"I heard that Ms. Liu runs a bar." As soon as Ling Yanxiao opened his mouth, Liu Siyi put down his chopsticks and replied cautiously: "Yes, she runs a small bar."

Ling Changxiao frowned and remained silent.

He lightly said a word, which aroused the desire to complain in the other rooms. They were worried that they had nowhere to vent their recent grievances, and they also wanted to see Da Fang's embarrassment.

Similarly, Ling Yanxiao's lukewarm words are also like a kind of privilege, emboldening others.

"Miss Liu should meet a lot of men when she goes to bars every day."

"The Ling family is everyone's family. If people know about your background, how can we explain it?"

"Shang Bei is the eldest son. If you really want to talk about marriage, it's still a good family relationship. Do you think you are suitable?"

"How old is Ms. Liu this year? Is she 30? She's not too young. Why haven't you found someone to marry for so many years?"

"It's not good to open any store. If you want to open a bar, even if you open a restaurant, we register a brand and open hundreds of chain stores, which can also mention your background. How do we do it now?"

Every question is tricky, even humiliating.Liu Siyi's background, her despised occupation, and even her age.

Ling Qianyu lowered her head and couldn't see her expression. This sentence was an invisible sharp sword. While stabbing Liu Siyi, it also hurt her badly.It turns out that the enemy doesn't need weapons at all, as long as they hurt Liu Siyi, they can defeat her.

Ling Shangbei is such a wimp, he still doesn't dare to stand up at this time, can't he count on his aunt?

She was trying her best to endure, but if she stood up, what should she say so that she would not get burned, and could help Liu Siyi out of the predicament.

The old man clearly did it on purpose. He wanted to embarrass Liu Siyi, so he must also want to see Ling Shangbei's and his own reaction.She can neither let Liu Siyi's painstaking efforts go to waste, nor let her be wronged again, think about it, think about it quickly...

After she recovered from the shock, she understood why Liu Siyi wanted to avoid herself last night. She didn't go upstairs because she was trying to reason.Liu Siyi must have wanted the Ling family to turn their eyes and attention to Ling Shangbei, and she wanted the old man to know that none of this had anything to do with her.

Ling Qianyu was very helpless, she knew that Liu Siyi's temperament would not be so stable, and she always wanted to do something for herself.But, doesn't she know that this kind of dinner is actually a Hongmen banquet?The reason why the old man agreed to her coming in was clearly for observation and testing.

At this time, Ling Shangbei clenched his fists tightly, not daring to defend, because he couldn't answer these questions, so he cast a look at Li Xinyao for help.

At this time, she was the only one who could suppress these people, but Li Xinyao just ate in a leisurely manner and didn't look at Ling Shangbei, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

"Where is Miss Liu's hometown? The countryside or the city?"

"What degree do you have, bachelor's degree or master's degree?"

The questioning like a knife continued, Liu Siyi didn't say a word, she seemed calm and calm, but her heart was pulled together, she didn't care about these sinister intentions, and she was not afraid of being slandered, but it was a fact that she came from a bad background, she had no education, no Background, everything is the gift and charity of Ling Qianyu in her early years.

She is a very humble person, not worthy of Ling Qianyu... The seed of inferiority may have been planted from the moment she fell in love. Liu Siyi was sad, but she couldn't restrain herself. She held her hands on her lap Pinch until the palms hurt.

Ling Qianyu's peripheral vision has been on Liu Siyi's body all the time. She has been observing the subtleties, and found that Liu Siyi did not hesitate to pinch his hands in order to endure everything at the moment.Her heart suddenly hurt, worse than when she was whipped by the old man, and it also disintegrated her last bottom line and patience.

She thought she could bear it, she thought she could hold her breath, and she thought Li Xinyao would speak up for her son, but in the end no one resolved the situation.

She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said to everyone: "Brother doesn't dare to take it, the Ling family doesn't like it, so I'll take her away, so as not to disturb everyone's eyes!" After speaking, she led Liu Siyi and walked out.

"Wait! Xiaoyu, don't you think grandpa too seriously, and leave as soon as you say, regardless of etiquette." Sanfang Ling Guoxun stood up and deliberately started talking.

Ling Qianyu stopped, and Liu Siyi beside her looked at her in shock, and even tried to break away from her hand, but Ling Qianyu held her tightly.

At this moment, all of Liu Siyi's tension and anxiety were calmed down, Ling Qianyu's palm was very warm, wrapping her tightly, she no longer struggled, just held her hand back.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, they were all surprised by Ling Qianyu's outrageous behavior again and again, Ling Yanxiao was very calm, with unknown calculations in his deep eyes, he squinted and said: "You are indeed more capable now than before."

Ling Qianyu never let go of Liu Siyi's hand, just turned around and looked at the people at the table, and smiled lightly: "Brother is the eldest grandson, and his speech and behavior are our role models. I can't go on. I'm sorry, grandpa, I can't eat this meal." After that, she resolutely led Liu Siyi away.

"You come back to me." Ling Yanxiao pulled his face and roared, but Ling Qianyu didn't look back, he was about to get angry when Li Xinyao stood up suddenly and said, "Dad, I'll go..."

Ling Changxiao's temper was calmed down in an instant, and he just nodded as he watched Li Xinyao gradually calm down.Once Li Xinyao spoke, no one dared to add insult to injury, even Ling Shangbei heaved a sigh of relief.

The courtyard is spacious, and it takes dozens of meters to walk to the door. Ling Qianyu walks very fast, and puts all her anger on the frequency of walking.

"Qian Yu~" Liu Siyi could feel her suppressed anger, and the surrounding air seemed to have changed.

"Xiao Yu." Ling Qianyu didn't stop until Li Xinyao's voice came.

She turned her head and watched Li Xinyao approaching her step by step, "Auntie."

"aunt."

Li Xinyao just nodded slightly, Ling Qianyu thought she was coming to persuade her not to be impulsive, but in fact she had thought about every word she said, even though she couldn't bear it, she didn't completely ignore the occasion.

"Auntie, it's cold outside, you go back."

Li Xinyao smiled and shook her head, looked at Ling Qianyu and Liu Siyi, her eyes were shining softly, she just said lightly: "Next week is your mother's death day, don't forget." After finishing speaking, she took a deep look The two held hands, smiled and turned to leave.

Mentioning her mother, Ling Qianyu's eyes dimmed, she pulled Liu Siyi to the side of the car, "Go in." Her tone was like an order, but also gentle.

She drove away at a high speed, and the red Hummer accelerated on the road without people, making the engine sound unique to a sports car. Liu Siyi looked at her worriedly, and sighed softly.

Ling Qianyu drove the car to the top of the mountain not far away, where the height can overlook the entire Xuan'an, the lights are bright at night, the lights on the mountain road are faint, and the surroundings are quiet and silent.

She finally stopped the car, but she still hadn't calmed down.

"You just ran out like this, how will it end? Today is such an important day..." Liu Siyi was always worried about her. Although she was satisfied emotionally, she still took care of the overall situation rationally.

"It's okay, there is an auntie." Her voice was low, as if she was holding her breath.

"I'm sorry, I just want the Ling family to feel that Shangbei is my umbrella, and I won't direct my attention and hostility to you."

"Do you know that you are in the mouth of a sheep?? Do you know that today may be a grand banquet?" Ling Qianyu felt distressed when she thought of the grievance Liu Siyi suffered just now.

Liu Siyi looked at her and asked, "Why are you so excited?"

Ling Qianyu remained silent, and opened the roof of the sports car to let the cold wind blow in, so that she could calm down.From seeing her appear to being humiliated, she has been thinking about how to deal with the next thing. She knows that Liu Siyi doesn't have Ling Shangbei in her heart, but her heart is full of acid.

"Why am I excited? Can I not be excited to see my future sister-in-law?" Her tone was sour, and the sea of ​​jealousy was boiling.

"Future sister-in-law?" Liu Siyi chuckled, "If you really need me to play this role, I can also..."

"No!"

"Why?" Liu Siyi asked back, Ling Qianyu just frowned and said nothing, she forced her to ask: "Don't make me be sentimental anymore, I will think nonsense..."

Before she finished speaking, her body was suddenly tied into a warm embrace, which made her lose her mind instantly and felt powerless all over.The unfinished words were drowned in Ling Qianyu's deep kiss, the throbbing in her heart made her forget everything around her, and she just hugged her tightly.
