Chapter 210: Telling Lies with Open Eyes



???

The man had a pure and extraordinary face, with a natural indifference. Even when he showed no emotion, he could make people feel cold from the inside out.

At this moment, there was a chill in his eyes as he looked down at them. The three bodyguards' teeth were trembling uncontrollably and they couldn't even utter a word.

There was a deathly silence at the door of the small banquet hall.

In the small banquet hall, Xu Haiying waited for a long time but his men did not come back to capture Zhou Wanrou. Even the original noise disappeared without a trace.

She couldn't help but frown.

While glaring at his son angrily, he walked out the door and said impatiently: "Isn't it just catching someone? Why did it take so long?..."

What do you eat?

"Bang!"

Before he could finish his words, a loud bang exploded beside him.

Xu Haiying only saw a black shadow coming towards her, which slammed into the door beside her with a bang and then rolled to the ground. She was so scared that her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Before she could see what was hitting her, there was another bang.

Another dark shadow fell, this time landing at her feet.

The third one.

As soon as Xu Haiying raised her eyes, she saw the figure that was getting bigger and bigger in her sight, and she was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly.

However, she was wearing 11-centimeter high heels, which made it difficult for her to move. When she stepped back in such a hurry, her heels immediately got caught on the carpet in the banquet hall.

With a snap.

Xu Haiying sat down on the ground, her face twisted in pain.

When she finally realized what had happened, she was so angry that her brain was congested with blood. She shouted angrily, "Who is it! Who is plotting against me?!"

A scattered female voice responded to her.

Xie Xihe slowly retracted his kick and looked towards Xu Haiying. He seemed to have just noticed her and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Second Madam Sheng, why are you here?"

Xu Haiying: “…”

She's a fully grown human being, standing right here. Is she blind and can't see?!

Xu Haiying was still in shock. She clutched her chest and climbed to her feet. With a raised eyebrow, she asked, "Xie Xihe? You were the one who plotted against me just now?!"

Xu Haiying was so angry that she had no place to vent it, especially since the other party was from the Xie family. Her temper instantly flared up and she wanted to start cursing.

But just as he was about to say that, Yu Guangzhong suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Xu Haiying's heart shuddered for no reason and she slowly turned around to look.

The next moment...

"Uncle...uncle..." Xu Haiying shouted in a trembling voice, and subconsciously took a step back as he spoke.

Sheng Shijing raised his eyes calmly, his voice even colder than his expression, and said, "Kidnap in public, arresting people for a single disagreement, is this how Second Sister-in-law disciplines her subordinates?"

Xu Haiying's face changed. "That's not the case. This woman wanted to harm Zhihuan. I just asked her a question. Just now, it was Xie Xihe who started it. Uncle, you saw it. She..."

"I did see it." Sheng Shijing interrupted her and continued, "I saw your men trying to take people for no reason. Miss Xie had no choice but to fight back to protect her father and nephew. Unexpectedly, Second Sister-in-law appeared at that moment, and she was bumped into by your own men."

His voice was so calm, and his expression was quite calm, which made people who heard his words unconsciously feel that this was the truth.

If he wasn't sure that he had kicked someone on purpose, even Xie Xihe would have almost believed it.

A smile couldn't help but flash across his eyes.

On the other side, Xu Haiying was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

So she bumped into it herself, so it's all her fault?

Even if the other person was Sheng Shijing, Xu Haiying could hardly hold back the urge to curse.

However, Sheng Shijing still didn't give her a chance to speak.

His gaze fell on Zhou Wanrou, his brows slightly lowered, and he said, "Although the Sheng family is one of the four major families in Kyoto, the Sheng family rules are very strict. Dad has strictly forbidden the Sheng family from bullying others outside. Is Second Sister-in-law planning to violate the family rules?"

Xu Haiying's rising anger stagnated, and turned into panic again. He hurriedly said, "That's not the case, uncle. Let me explain..."

Sheng Shijing wasn't interested in her explanation, but after glancing at Mr. Xie, who still had a sullen look on his face, he paused and nodded, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

Xu Haiying's expression changed again.

Xu Haiying has always been a little afraid of her brother-in-law. One reason is that Sheng Shijing has been ruthless since he was a child, but the main reason is that he is too favored by Grandpa Sheng.

Whatever he proposed, Mr. Sheng almost always agreed.

Mr. Sheng could hardly tolerate anything that he didn't like.

Their family has always been humble and submissive because they are worried that Sheng Shijing will speak ill of them in front of Old Master Sheng, which will affect Sheng Zhihuan's future succession to the position of head of the Sheng family.

If he knew about Sheng Zhihuan's affair and told the old man about it, everything would be over!

Not to mention that among this group of people there is also Mr. Xie, a close friend of Mr. Sheng...

no!

We must not let them in!

We must never let them know about this!

Xu Haiying gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to block the door, and forced a smile, saying, "This is our eldest wife's business. It's not good for my uncle to interfere rashly, right?"

"Sheng San can't intervene, so what about me?" Xie Bowen suddenly took two steps forward, his calm eyes falling on Xu Haiying, "So, can I intervene?"

"In-laws." Xie Bowen said without blinking, his words very clearly.

Xu Haiying's pupils shrank.

Xie Bowen got straight to the point: "Sheng Zhihuan just arranged to marry my granddaughter last month, and less than a month has passed, and a pregnant woman has come to our house. Doesn't Madam Sheng think that this matter should be explained?"

He paused and said, "Or, should I go and talk to Patriarch Sheng in person?"

How did he know Zhou Wanrou was pregnant? !

Xu Haiying widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

It was a bodyguard holding Zhou Wanrou who reacted first. He still didn't let her go, but turned his gaze away and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xie just felt Miss Zhou's pulse."

Xu Haiying's mind skipped a beat and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Finally, he stopped blocking me and moved sideways to make way for the door to the small banquet hall.

Xie Bowen walked past her into the small banquet hall with a cold expression, and immediately saw Xie Mingzhu leaning against a pillar in a daze.

Xie Bowen's face became even uglier.

Xie Mingzhu also heard the noise and raised her head stiffly. When she saw Xie Bowen's face clearly, the grievances she had been suppressing finally came to her head, and she shouted in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to come back to his senses. He rushed to Mr. Xie in two steps, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried, "Grandpa, you have to make the decision for me!"
