Chapter 511: Keep Looking at Her

Xiao Ye covered his face which was hit by a heavy punch and smashed his head into the messy plate.

Some of the Xiao family’s female members were so scared that they covered their mouths. “Jing, Jingrun? The old man is still here. Are you going to rebel?”

Mr. Xiao sat in the main seat with a serious look on his face.

He looked at this grandson who was once so proud of him with a gloomy and uncertain gaze. It was still the same face, but he looked unfamiliar.

Xiao Jingrun sat behind his brothers at the extremely luxurious golden long table. He put down the napkin in his hand, but his aura subtly overwhelmed everyone else.

Father Xiao was furious. "Jingrun, do you still take me, your father, seriously? The old man trusted you so much, but you dared to plot against even your closest relatives!"

"Dad, I've told you before that Jingrun has been different since he was a child. He is thoughtful and capable. His best trick is to pretend to be gentle and harmless! But he is actually a wolf!"

This has to start from Xiao Jingrun's childhood. Xiao's father favored his eldest son Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye just liked to make things difficult for Xiao Jingrun. Xiao's father could understand how difficult it was for Xiao Ye to make a living under the care of his stepmother after losing his biological mother at a young age.

Therefore, whatever Xiao Ye values, his father will try his best to satisfy. Due to his awkward status, Xiao Ye has never held a grand celebration for his tenth birthday, so his father is also opposed to holding a similar event for Xiao Jingrun.

However, Xiao Jingrun's mother's family could not withstand the tough attitude, and finally the Xiao family held a grand birthday party for Xiao Jingrun. Xiao Jingrun received the most expensive gift of the year, a rare and out-of-print antique watch, which made all his brothers envious.

Xiao Ye also liked the watch and thought it was very suitable for him as he was about to enter high school. He just mentioned it to his father, who then took the gift away and gave it to him.

When Xiao Jingrun learned about this later, he did not make a fuss or express any dissatisfaction. One day when the whole family was out on vacation, he took the watch away from Xiao Ye on the cruise ship when he was not paying attention, and resolutely threw it into the vast ocean.

He was about ten years old, but he still maintained that surprising calmness. Compared with the furious Xiao Ye, Xiao Jingrun slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a very calm smile.

"That's not yours." He said this with a bit of stubbornness in his tone.

This child is not good at expressing his thoughts. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks mature and steady since he was a child. In fact, there is a sleeping beast living deep in his heart.

The kidnapping case awakened this dormant beast, revealing his bestial nature.

It was not until this moment that Xiao's father realized why he hated Xiao Jingrun. He had always been afraid of his son. At that time, Xiao Jingrun was still young and had not realized it.

And he has grown into a tall and remarkable man, with ambitions far beyond what anyone could have imagined.

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao could not help but clench the silk handkerchief in her hand, her face full of disbelief, and she raised her head to look into the hall.

Although she was of noble status, she was very gentle and virtuous, and could not suppress the evil spirits in the Xiao family.

"Mother wants me to apologize to my eldest brother again?" Xiao Jingrun asked softly.

When he glanced at her, Mrs. Xiao's heart sank. She thought of how, when she was a child, in order to save face and reputation, and to prevent outsiders from accusing her as a stepmother of treating Xiao Ye badly, she often made Xiao Jingrun compromise.

"Jingrun, today is a family dinner, we won't talk about state affairs." Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but try to smooth things over.

"Oh, father——!" Xiao Ye raised his face which was cut by the porcelain plate fragments and screamed in pain. No doctor came in for a long time. The only door was blocked and everyone was trapped.

Xiao Jingrun stood up slowly. In the hall, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, magnificent lights shone down, illuminating the soft red carpet. The man walked slowly, and each step he took made no sound, but it was like a heavy drum stepping on everyone's heart.

He walked to Xiao Ye and threw a document to him lightly, "Sign it."

There are three documents in total, which are letters of voluntary waiver of Xiao family inheritance rights and property, and both have been signed by two people.

Xiao Ye looked at his other two brothers in disbelief. The two of them kept silent, lowered their heads, and sighed, "Brother, a man of insight is a wise man. Just sign it."

"Grandpa!" Xiao Ye looked at Grandpa Xiao.

Old Master Xiao remained silent throughout. When he heard this, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Xiao Jingrun has evil ambitions, and he has proved it through progressive means, and he is the only and indisputable heir of the Xiao family.

What Old Master Xiao hoped for was for the Xiao family to prosper and last long, and since Xiao Jingrun could guarantee this, he could only give in.

"Ye'er, your two brothers are right."

"Father!" Father Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he said fiercely, "He is forcing all of us! Ye'er is your grandson, you have to give Ye'er a chance!"

"I accept the defeat." Old Master Xiao made the final decision. He no longer hesitated or wavered. It was also because he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the Sheng family. The internal strife of the Sheng family sounded a wake-up call to these old bones.

"Jing Run is more suitable to inherit the family than any of you." Old Master Xiao's face was solemn and his tone was majestic: "Otherwise, you will never be able to walk out of this door today."

Inside the hall, two rows of armed bodyguards stood, and the communication equipment had long been cut off.

This is the trap set by Xiao Jingrun, an obvious one.

He stood beside Xiao Ye, his tall and superior figure overshadowing him, his gentle and smiling eyes curved into a cold arc behind the lenses, "I warned you, don't touch what is not yours."

“You never understand this.”

....

Jiang Zhiyue slept soundly.

But some disturbing moments emerged in the dream. Was she poisoned by Mu Liansheng? Why did she dream about Mu Liansheng?

The other person was smiling wickedly, and no one knew what he was planning. His face was hidden behind a mist, but his charming eyes could penetrate the gloomy mist.

The thick darkness around him seemed to completely envelope her. He seemed to want to merge with her and invade her madly. Jiang Zhiyue was frightened and turned around and ran away.

In the thick fog, she didn't know which direction to escape, so she kept running and bumped into a cold chest.

I looked up and it was Qin Si.

She threw herself into his arms, hugging his slender waist tightly, but the moment she raised her head, the thick fog dissipated...

Three completely different figures appeared in her sight. One was Gu Zhaoye's puppy expression, angry and aggrieved, one was Sheng Huaian's worried and helpless look, and the other was Chu Junyue's restrained depression...

The three of them just stood there quietly, looking at her, looking at her...
