Chapter 275: I’ll Depend on Them for Life or Death (Part 2)
It was a suggestive sentence, and coupled with the fact that Xie Tingyuan's gaze remained on Xie Xihe, anyone with a bit of common sense would know who he was referring to.
Everyone was in no hurry to leave, and they all stepped back to watch the excitement.
Seeing this, Xie Tingyuan's eyes flashed, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes. He continued, "Dad, they say that one cannot write the word "Xie" with one stroke. Your last name is Xie, mine is Xie, and Mingzhu's is Xie too. We are all family. Why are you so heartless?"
"Our Xie family is already quite small. Because of the division of the household, the elders from my hometown have come to talk to me several times, and have been urging me to apologize to you and invite you back home."
"Although I don't know what I did to upset you, you are my elder, and it is my fault for making you unhappy. I am willing to admit my mistake. I only ask that you don't be angry with me and come home with me, okay?"
"You don't know, Mom has been crying every day lately. She's been to the hospital several times. The doctors all said she's got a lot of stuff stuck in her heart, and only by untangling it can she recover."
"Mom did something wrong, but others don't know about it. Don't you know why?" He glanced at Xie Xihe, and in a slightly lowered voice, there was a threat that others could not detect. He said, "Mom did something wrong, but she really knows it was wrong. I beg you to forgive her this time for the sake of our marriage for so many years. I promise that she will never say such nonsense again."
What this means is that if you don't agree, don't blame us for talking nonsense and accidentally saying things that we shouldn't.
After a series of soft and hard words, Xie Bowen finally understood what the other party was after.
I was so angry that my heart ached.
Don't dream! Now that I'm gone, there's no way I'll ever go back!
Xie Bowen almost couldn't help but yell back, but before he could open his mouth, Xie Xihe's knuckles pressed against the acupuncture points on his back, kneading them gently, which brought him back to his senses and slowly relieved the dull pain in his chest.
Xie Bowen gasped heavily a few times.
Xie Xihe continued massaging the acupuncture points, casually raising his eyes, his expression expressionless, showing no emotion at all. He said, "Whether you can guarantee that Ms. Liang will speak nonsense or not, I can't guarantee that if you keep pestering me here and piss off my dad, I might not be able to resist and tell you everything you want to say."
His eyes swept over Xie Mingzhu and Xie Tingyuan in turn, and he smiled: "Want to try?"
The expressions of both of them changed at the same time.
They really wanted to retort, "How dare you reveal that you are not the eldest daughter of the Xie family?", but seeing the girl's cold expression, they felt a chill in their hearts and could not utter the words that were on their lips.
There was a faint voice in their hearts telling them that Xie Xihe dared to do it.
Once it was made public, they would lose the only leverage they had to control Xie Bowen and Xie Xihe, and would also completely incur Xie Bowen's dislike. By then, they would truly be left with nothing...
Xie Tingyuan never expected that after causing such a commotion, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was outmaneuvered by the other party. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Xie Mingzhu's expression wasn't looking good either, but she was calmer than Xie Tingyuan. She pursed her lips and apologized bluntly, "My aunt is right. Grandpa, don't be angry. Dad was pushed too hard by the elders, so he made a slip of the tongue. He didn't mean any other things. He just wanted the family to be well."
"Since Grandpa is still angry, let's not talk about going home. Look, Grandpa Sheng's birthday party is about to start, and everyone is waiting to go in. Let's not block the way here, let's go in quickly."
As she said that, she walked around to the other side to hold Mr. Xie's hand. She looked so nonchalant that Xie Xihe couldn't help but look at her again.
Xie Bowen's face was gloomy and he shook her hand off without thinking.
Xie Mingzhu had anticipated this and took back her hand. She turned around and said to Xie Tingyuan, "Dad, Grandpa is still angry with us. Let's not go up and provoke him."
Although he said this, he had no intention of retreating. He stood a few steps away from Xie Bowen, keeping a distance from him.
He looked like, "I won't come over, but this is the only road I can go on, and you can't stop me from going."
I'll depend on them for life or death.
Xie Bowen was very angry.
He couldn't understand it. Although he was always busy with work, he also took time to educate Xie Tingyuan when he was a child. How could he have raised such a useless child?
He refused to learn medical skills, and couldn't learn any skills. Now he has learned the skills of a scoundrel and shameless person to the fullest, and even his granddaughter, who was originally normal, has become like this!
Seeing that more and more people were watching the fun, Xie Bowen really didn't want to be a monkey and perform for others, but he was worried that if they succeeded this time, there would be a next time, so he hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Xie Tingyuan and Xie Mingzhu couldn't help but have a smug smile in their eyes.
He didn't urge them, just quietly watched Xie Bowen and the others.
Xie Xihe's eyebrows were cold. He glanced at the invitation in his hand and was about to speak. At this moment, a pair of hurried footsteps came from outside the crowd, accompanied by a voice that everyone was vaguely familiar with, saying, "Excuse me, excuse me. Excuse me, please."
The people who had gathered around turned their heads and quickly recognized the person. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately stepped aside, smiling and saying, "Butler Sheng, why did you come out in person?"
I couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
"Butler Sheng is an elder of the Sheng family. He has only been with Old Master Sheng for these years and has hardly taken care of the family's affairs. Why is he coming out in person now?"
"Why ask? There must be a distinguished guest coming. Everyone knows that Butler Sheng represents Old Master Sheng to a certain extent. Now that Old Master Sheng is not well and cannot appear in person, he asked Butler Sheng to come out to greet the distinguished guest."
"That would be like Old Master Sheng coming out personally to greet us. Tsk, today is Old Master Sheng's birthday banquet. How high of a distinguished guest would he have to be to personally receive him? I'm afraid the patriarchs of the four major families wouldn't be qualified, right?"
"I heard that the old patriarch of that family showed up last month at the Xie family's new product launch. Could it be that someone from that family is here?"
"That's not the case. That family hasn't appeared in formal occasions for over a decade. Although Mr. Sheng's birthday party is a big deal in Kyoto, it's probably just a small event for that family. Can they really send someone over specifically?"
“…”
Amidst the discussions, Xie Tingyuan and Xie Mingzhu in the middle of the crowd suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts, and their eyes were fixed on the old butler Sheng who was approaching them.
