After Lan Quancong hung up the phone, he said respectfully, "Director Liu, the Luo family has arrived. They said there are about nine or ten people."
Liu Zhaosheng suppressed his impatience and raised his eyebrows slightly: "At first we said there would be five or six people, but now it's become nine or ten. Luckily we booked a large private room, and each table can seat 20 people."
Liu Jingze picked up a piece of braised pork for Liu Zhaosheng and smiled faintly: "The people of the Luo family may think that there is strength in numbers. Brother Cong, take two bodyguards to greet the guests."
Lan Quancong looked at Liu Zhaosheng's eyes and immediately replied, "Okay." After that, he left quickly.
Liu Zhaosheng finished his braised pork belly slowly and said, "Let's go to the next room."
Su Tiantian said, "Ayang, Azhi, if you two have any problems, please go to the next box and call me immediately."
Liu Jingze took Su Tiantian's arm and said, "I knew you would be worried. Brother Guang will be watching in this box. Azhi is also here. He can also comfort the children. Four adults will be watching over two children."
Su Tiantian's children are still young. In addition to going to the hospital, her parents-in-law's house, and Siqi Farm, this hotel is the fourth place they have visited. She is indeed a little worried.
Box 227.
Liu Jingze sat on Liu Zhaosheng's left, followed by Su Tiantian. Chu Xinghua sat on Liu Zhaosheng's right, while Shen Yushan did not sit down but stood behind Liu Zhaosheng.
When Lan Quancong came in with a group of people who were talking loudly, Su Tiantian noticed not the old man with gray hair who was walking in front and looked to be of a high generation and quite old, but a man who was walking behind him and looked to be about thirty years old.
The reason? That person looked at least 50% like Liu Zhaosheng. Su Tiantian knew that this person was Luo Jiaxing, Liu Zhaosheng's biological nephew.
When he saw everyone coming in, Liu Zhaosheng did not stand up to greet them.
Seeing Liu Zhaosheng's attitude, some of the visitors showed dissatisfaction, as if they were suppressing their anger. Some still had flattering smiles on their faces, some had ingratiating smiles, and some had awkward smiles, as if their smiles lacked sincerity.
Lan Quancong said in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, "Please take a seat, everyone. Our Chairman Liu has been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Tiantian counted silently. She had said nine or ten people, but there were actually eleven people, both men and women. They sat down one by one.
These eleven people were from the Luo family. In terms of blood relationship, they were Liu Zhaosheng's relatives. Liu Zhaosheng was the fifth of six brothers in the family. He was given to the Xiao family shortly after birth. Later, his adoptive parents died. The Xiao family sent him back to the Luo family, but the Luo family didn't want him. Later, Liu Zhaosheng went to an orphanage and was adopted by a couple surnamed Liu, hence his final name, Liu Zhaosheng. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The Liu couple died, and Liu Zhaosheng became an orphan again. His three families were actually no longer considered families, so it's no wonder that he had a weak sense of family affection.
The purpose of the Luo family coming here was not only clear to Liu Zhaosheng, but also to them. The children who had not had enough food to eat back then had become rich, so they wanted to renew the family ties that had disappeared for decades.
How could Liu Zhaosheng have a good attitude towards these so-called brothers, nephews, and some relatives he didn't know who they were?
After the Luo family sat down, the scene was a bit quiet for a moment. Lan Quancong and Shen Yushan poured tea for everyone in turn. Afterwards, Shen Yushan stood behind Liu Zhaosheng, while Lan Quancong stood behind Liu Jingze. Although it looked like the Luo family had more people, Liu Zhaosheng's aura was actually stronger, and several of the Luo family members seemed a little timid.
Liu Zhaosheng picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and calmly glanced at the Luo family members opposite him.
Obviously, all the members of the Luo family knew who Liu Jingze, who was sitting next to Liu Zhaosheng, although only a few of them had seen Liu Jingze before. That was the biggest obstacle for them to establish family ties, so they looked at Liu Jingze with many eyes.
Let's not talk about anything else, but in terms of appearance, Liu Jingze is better than people of the same age in the Luo family. His every move gives people the feeling of a handsome and elegant gentleman. In fact, the conditions of the Liu family were not better than those of the Luo family back then, but Liu Liangjie worked hard for many years and turned his son into a rich second generation, so the gap became apparent, especially since Lan Quancong, who had just greeted them, was standing behind Liu Jingze. It can be imagined how much Liu Zhaosheng valued this godson.
The white-haired old man cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Old Fifth, I haven't seen you for several years. You are becoming more and more promising now." His voice carried some vicissitudes of time, but also revealed the majesty of an elder.
Liu Zhaosheng put down the teacup and said lightly: "There have been too many hard times, but good times have come. I have lived a pretty good life these years." His tone was flat, but one could hear a hint of subtle alienation.
At this time, Luo Jiaxing, who looked very much like Liu Zhaosheng, spoke up: "Fifth Uncle, we came this time, firstly, to see you, and secondly, to catch up with you. We haven't been in touch for so long, and everyone is really thinking about you. Look, your first, second, and third uncles are old, but they still took a nearly 10-hour drive to see you in person."
He had a perfect smile on his face, but his eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of greed.
Liu Jingze chuckled softly and said sarcastically, "Oh, I don't know the others, but I do know you, Young Master Luo of the Luo Family. Last year, you got some benefits from your fifth uncle and you weren't satisfied. This year, you're trying harder. Aren't you afraid that one person's words won't carry enough weight? You brought so many people here. Aren't you afraid that your benefits will be diluted?"
Liu Jingze's words were straightforward and sharp, making the faces of everyone in the Luo family instantly turn a little ugly, especially Luo Jiaxing. His thoughts were actually not difficult to guess. Everyone in the Luo family knew it. After all, his face that looked like Liu Zhaosheng had more advantages than other people in the Luo family.
