Everyone stood up almost at the same time when they heard the news.
"What is he doing here!" Xiao Weiyu was in a bad mood and threw his hand away in disgust, "Let him go!"
"This..." Aunt Wang stood still, looking at Xiao Weizhou and Yan Mei hesitantly, waiting for them to speak.
Xiao Weizhou looked hesitant. Although Yan Mei was Xiao Weijiang's biological mother, she obviously had no say. But now that Xiao Huai was detained, her expression showed that she wanted to discuss the matter with someone else.
"What are you still standing there for?" Xiao Weiyu saw that Wang Ma didn't understand, and he took out all the anger he had just felt at Zhang Moyan on her: "You've been working in the Xiao family for decades, don't you know? The old man has issued a death order, never allowing him to set foot in the Xiao family!"
"Dad," Xiao Mumu stopped the frightened Wang Ma and said to Xiao Weiyu, "Uncle Weijiang must be here to ask about Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai is his son after all. Let's go out and take a look together!"
Xiao Weiyu was furious: "What are you looking at?! He's never been able to accomplish anything, and he's always causing trouble. It's better not to look at him."
With a thud, Xiao Weiyu had just finished speaking when Yan Mei staggered and fell into the chair, leaning her head on the armrest with her hands.
"Grandma!" Sun Li and her aunts rushed over to check on her. "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Weiyu's words were very harsh even to Zhang Moyan, an ignorant spectator. Naturally, the Xiao family members knew how serious these words were.
Sun Li couldn't bear it and wanted to say something, but Xiao Mumu shook her head at her. Sun Li had to shut up and turned to comfort Yan Mei.
Yan Mei's eyes were already filled with tears, and she only calmed down a little after everyone comforted her.
"Weiyu hasn't made any mistakes in the past ten years," she said, looking up at Xiao Weiyu with a sullen look on her face. "He has reformed himself and behaved well. Haven't you seen that?"
Xiao Weiyu turned his head and said with a cold face, "It depends on what the mistake was. Some mistakes, once made, can never be forgiven!"
Yan Mei felt like she was being hit by an invisible hammer. She shrank back, tears streaming down her wrinkled cheeks, and she was choked and unable to utter a word.
Zhang Moyan looked at the old man with deep guilt. She knew that Xiao Weiyu's anger was largely due to her own actions. Alas, she never seemed to know when to say what. Perhaps she was the one who needed to think carefully and know when to stop.
Seeing this, Xiao Weizhou sighed deeply and opened his mouth to speak, but Xiao Xingyu's voice preceded him: "Didn't they come in? They didn't break any rules!"
The air became still.
"Alright," Xiao Xingyu put one hand in his pocket and glanced around the hall, "If you don't want to go, I'll go take a look."
As he said this, he tilted his head slightly to Zhang Moyan to signal her to follow him, then turned and walked out of the hall. Zhang Moyan, who was eager to escape, took small steps to catch up with him. Under the gaze of everyone, the two of them walked towards the gate one after the other.
Zhang Moyan walked beside Xiao Xingyu, turned around to take a look at his handsome profile, and savored Xiao Xingyu's look that "signaled her to follow."
Under normal circumstances, whether it was Xiao Huai's matter or Xiao Weijiang's matter, they were all scandals of the Xiao family, and she, an outsider, should be kept from knowing about it as much as possible. However, he actually took the initiative to ask her to participate, and in the presence of so many people from the Xiao family... This vaguely gave her the feeling that Xiao Xingyu treated her as his own.
She didn't know if this thought was her imagination, but even if it was, she couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart.
Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu arrived at the gate first, and Xiao Weijiang and Xiao Weizhou followed with everyone from the Xiao family.
Xiao Weijiang, who had been staring at the Xiao family's gate eagerly, rushed up as soon as he saw the gate open.
"Xingyu!" He had just said two words anxiously when his eyes fell on Xiao Weizhou and Xiao Weiyu standing behind Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan. His throat was choked and he took a step back stiffly. When he saw his mother again, he called out tremblingly, "Mom..."
Yan Mei frowned and looked at him.
As soon as Xiao Weiyu saw Xiao Weijiang, he wanted to scold him, but his wife pulled him back and he remembered that he should let Xiao Weizhou speak first.
"Brother!" Xiao Weijiang took the initiative to speak to Xiao Weizhou during this opportunity. Not daring to step forward, he stood still and asked anxiously, "Has Xiao Huai been arrested by the police? What did he do that the police wanted to arrest him for?"
Sure enough, Xiao Weijiang came for Xiao Huai's matter, but how did Xiao Weijiang know that Xiao Huai was detained by the police? Everyone looked at Xiao Xingyu.
Xiao Xingyu smiled innocently and blankly: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't tell him!"
Everyone turned their heads back in unison, like remote-controlled robots.
Xiao Weijiang immediately understood and explained, "It wasn't Xing Yu who told me. It was a friend of mine who was arrested for gambling and was released from detention today. He saw Xiao Huai and told me! Can you tell me if this is true? What happened to Xiao Huai?"
Xiao Weiyu snorted disdainfully: "What kind of friends do you have!"
Xiao Weijiang didn't talk back, but avoided looking.
"Weijiang," Xiao Weizhou stepped forward and held Xiao Weijiang's hand: "You have the right to know this matter, but you have to promise me that you won't get too excited when I tell you."
"Okay!" Xiao Weijiang said anxiously, "Brother, I'm not excited. Tell me what happened to the child!"
Zhang Moyan saw that the Xiao family seemed to have no intention of inviting anyone in for a talk. The only reason they kept people out was because the Xiao family's mansion was secluded and occupied a large area. If it were an ordinary family, there would definitely be a circle of neighbors gathered in front of the door to watch the fun.
