antique masters in modern times
Chapter 60 So Arrogant
The communication on the phone was relatively brief before, but along the way, the uncle and nephew exchanged details again.Knowing that Qi Feng and the people of the Qin family said that it was Liang Zhenni who directly issued the order, Murong Xi felt relieved: "Although the fourth brother must have participated, but it can prove that Liang Zhenni is the leader, maybe Grandpa will be a little bit worried Get comfortable."
In any case, a daughter-in-law is not as good as a biological son.
Murong Hui also hoped so: "Didn't you be asked to control the fourth sister-in-law at that time? How about now?"
"Well. I told them that the property in a newly developed town is very cheap and has pleasant scenery. The couple went to look at the house together the afternoon before yesterday, and they should still be in the town now."
"What did you use to keep them there?" Murong Hui guessed, the uncle probably made some bad move again.
Sure enough, "I dismissed the driver before departure, and they took a taxi. Unfortunately, the telephone line in the area after they arrived was temporarily out of order, and it has not been repaired yet. The construction workers who asked for a salary increase on the highway they came from It’s blocked, and now the drivers are going around there. The information is blocked, and they should not know what happened in the mainland.”
"Uncle..." Murong Hui respectfully said, "A master!"
It does so without a trace.
Murong Xi said modestly: "Where, I just pay close attention to the trade union news, and I happen to know a few friends from the communication company. However, it is almost time to pick them up. Before I came to the airport, I had already sent people to the town .”
While speaking, the RV in front gradually slowed down, slowly drove into a small bungalow surrounded by flowers and lawns, and stopped on the green field in front of the door.
The whole body of the bungalow is iron gray, the windows are spacious and bright, and an attic is built on the roof. It is surrounded by well-manicured lawns, and roses and roses surround the iron fence, a typical American style.
But through the concealed door, one can see that the inside is full of Chinese-style furniture, arranged in an antique style.There are no swings in the garden, but a few old rattan chairs.
A man with snow-white hair and a face that looks like he is only in his forties, who does not tell his age, is sitting on a recliner, shaking his head and humming along with the commentaries floating out of the tape recorder, quite complacent.
Elder Qin, who rested all the way to relieve some of the fatigue caused by the long-distance flight, saw this man when he got off the car, and burst into tears: "Master, Xiao Qin sees you coming!"
Hearing the sound, the man leaned slightly, glanced casually, and then froze, and said in disbelief: "Xiao Qin?! Haha, it turns out that the guest that the fifth brother mentioned is you! It really is a guest! Hurry up, hurry up, come here sit!"
Murong Duan said to come over and sit down, but he strode forward to meet him, hugged his subordinate whom he hadn't seen for many years, and slapped his back hard several times: "You're skinny, you've lost all your meat, and your wrinkled and white hair They all ran out, just like me! Time is so fast, we are all old in a blink of an eye!"
Not seeing each other for so many years, the two brothers naturally have a lot to talk about.The uncle and nephew wisely did not bother, and silently gestured to the driver to return the car to the garage first.
"Fifth Young Master, which room should the luggage be delivered to?"
"Let's send it to the guest room on the first floor. There are two beds there. It is estimated that my father will have a bed talk tonight."
They planned to wait for the two old people's interest in talking to fade a bit before starting to talk about business, but they seriously underestimated the enthusiasm of the old friends reunion.
Half an hour, an hour... Three hours later, I glanced at the garden from the dining room, and motioned for the servant to bring some more snacks to replenish the strength of the two old men who were chatting.Murong Hui stuffed a piece of cookie into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I think at least we have to wait until dinner time."
"Just let him be happy for a while—why don't you eat oil-splashed noodles? Didn't you like it the most before? Sao Li made it specially for you when you came back."
Glancing at the noodles that were about to condense, Murong Hui pushed the bowl towards his uncle without interest: "Chinese food is still the best made in the mainland."
Seeing this, Murong Xi rubbed his head: "You brat, you didn't pay much attention to food and drink before, but if you go back, you'll make a fool of yourself."
"Uncle, you have never eaten something made by him. As long as you taste it once, you will never forget it again."
"Him? Which him?"
Only then did Murong Hui realize that he had slipped his tongue in a moment of forgetfulness, and quickly pretended to be nonchalant: "Well, I'm just a roommate."
He has not told his family about his sexuality.Before making it clear, Yan You would never be recruited, otherwise it would be like setting up a target for the family to attack.
Murong Xi didn't miss the panic flashing in his eyes, and said playfully, "Is it just a roommate?"
With such a sensitive brother-in-law, Murong Hui felt a little stressed: "I'm also a friend."
Seeing the twinkle in his nephew's eyes, Murong Xi, who was just teasing him casually, couldn't help narrowing his eyes thoughtfully.
Just as he was about to speak, a woman came in aggressively and slapped the dining table, causing the tableware to bounce: "Murong Xi! What are you instigating Murong Hui to do with my business?! Your Fifth Young Master I have always had my eyes above the top, and I earn a few small money to subsidize my family, how can such a small business fall into your eyes?"
Seeing that she was so righteous and confident, and dared to confront her face to face after being exposed, both uncle and nephew's expressions darkened.
At this time, the driver sent before came in with a bitter face: "Fifth Young Master, you originally asked the concierge to leave a message to say that there is a distinguished guest, so please don't disturb, please go back first. But after the car drove by, the Fourth Madam went upstairs to listen When I was on the phone, I lost my temper and I must come to you. As a last resort, I had no choice but to..."
"Don't do your business, go out first."
Before the driver could finish speaking, Murong Xi, who looked unhappy, asked him to step down.
He didn't know where Liang Zhenni's confidence came from. After violating the family's bottom line, she could still pretend to be a victim and rushed to Xingshi to ask her crimes in such a high-profile manner.
Although right and wrong can be seen at a glance, this is not a place for quarreling.They planned to tell the truth to the old man slowly, so as to have a buffer, so that the old man would not feel so uncomfortable.If it is just shaken out like this, the previous foreshadowing will be completely in vain.
Murong Xi immediately said: "Fourth Sister-in-Law, follow me upstairs first."
Looking at his face with anxiety, Liang Zhenni thought she had caught his weakness, raised her eyebrows, and said loudly: "It's not me who is wrong, why should I avoid people? Today is just going to be in front of distinguished guests Make it clear, what exactly are you, Murong Xi, dissatisfied with me as a sister-in-law, to cut off my money!"
"Financial resources?" Seeing her being so arrogant, Murong Hui couldn't help but sneered and said, "Sisao's financial resources are really different. At that time, profiteering was often accompanied by blood, but your profession is based on other people's misfortunes to achieve your success." financial resources!"
"Nonsense! What misfortune? Doing business for me is misfortune? How dare you mock your elders, don't forget your identity!"
Liang Zhenni gave Murong Hui a hard look, and the dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart began to surge again: the eldest son, Murong Shu, is old-fashioned and boring, with mediocre abilities, but he is the eldest son.After a hundred years from the old man, at least half of this huge family business will fall into his hands, and my husband and I can only share the rest equally with the rest of the brothers.
This is already very unfair, what's even more hateful is that the old man is hiding the big secret that no one wants to tell anyone.The husband tried many times, but was blocked back without being idle.But he just looks at Murong Hui differently, and recently let him run around in different directions.How do you know that you are not using travel as an excuse to investigate the secret secretly?It's too much for the old man to be partial to this!
Liang Zhenni, who thought that her interests had been damaged, hated her more and more. Could it be that all the advantages in the family would be taken by the Dafang family?Then what will they do in the future, living a tight life with a little leftovers?Ever since she married into Murong's house, she has been overwhelmed in everything.Now try to start a small business to subsidize it, but in the end it will be ruined by meddling!This day is simply impossible!
The new and old hatred made Liang Zhenni dizzy.Regardless of the initial plan to take the opportunity to pretend to be wronged, question and cry, and force Murong Xi to get out of the stage, he directly stretched out his hand and swung Murong Hui's face: "The following offenses, I will set rules for you today!"
Of course Murong Hui couldn't be hit by her.With a backhand, he had firmly grasped Liang Zhuzhu's wrist, and his heart was also burning with anger: This woman is really shameless to a certain extent!Ordinary people who have done bad things are exposed, don't they all tremble, admit their mistakes and repent?How come the fourth sister-in-law has completely changed.Did she really not know the old man's intention to disband the Anxiangmen, or was he determined to fight against the Murong family?
If it's the latter, it means that the fourth uncle and his wife didn't regard themselves as members of the Murong family at all, otherwise, how could they be so justified in doing such a scandal that shamed the family and chilled the hearts of relatives?
Realizing this, Murong's gray and handsome face sank like water, and the cold light in his eyes was awe-inspiring.
He was originally a martial artist, he moved at will, his mood was extremely bad, and his expression looked very scary.In addition, he was one head taller than Liang Zhenni, so he felt even more oppressive.
Liang Zhenni was terrified by his stare, the arrogance just subsided a bit, and she shouted bitterly: "Let go! It's okay to contradict, don't you dare to do something to the elders?"
Before he could say a word, there was a screeching sound of brakes at the door, accompanied by the choking smell of gasoline.Immediately, the man threw off his motorcycle and ran into the gate in a hurry. He didn't even have time to get his helmet, and went straight into the house, grabbing Liang Zhenni's hand: "My wife, stop talking, let's go!"
"husband!"
Seeing her husband Murong Qi appearing, Liang Zhenni felt relieved. She thought she had a helper, and she couldn't help but regain her courage: "Husband, you came at the right time, come and help me! Murong Xi has disrupted our family's business. Instigate Murong Hui to attack me. It happens that father and distinguished guests are here, please invite them to come over and comment!"
It's good that she didn't mention the old man, but as soon as he mentioned it, Murong Qi's face immediately changed, and he could see how flustered he was through the helmet: "Come on, let's talk slowly when we get home, so that Dad won't get angry."
Before the words fell, an old but still majestic voice followed behind him: "I'm afraid I'll be angry, huh?"
In any case, a daughter-in-law is not as good as a biological son.
Murong Hui also hoped so: "Didn't you be asked to control the fourth sister-in-law at that time? How about now?"
"Well. I told them that the property in a newly developed town is very cheap and has pleasant scenery. The couple went to look at the house together the afternoon before yesterday, and they should still be in the town now."
