At this moment, Butler Sheng had already run to Mr. Sheng and whispered a few words into his ear.
A flash of surprise flashed across Old Master Sheng's eyes, his brows furrowed, then relaxed, and finally furrowed again. When Butler Sheng finished speaking, his face was already solemn. He straightened his clothes and stood up, saying, "Please let the person in first."
Butler Sheng immediately responded, turned around and ran out quickly.
It was the first time for everyone to see Mr. Sheng so solemn. They looked at each other in confusion and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Who's here?"
Mr. Sheng was still angry. He glanced at them and was too lazy to answer.
Everyone was unhappy, but they didn't dare to show it. They could only look towards the door with dark faces.
Some people wanted to return to their seats, but when they turned around, they saw several Sheng family guards standing behind them, blocking their way.
Sheng Shaoqiong leaned back, shaking the red wine in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "If you said you would apologize, you must apologize. If you don't, stand here and no one can leave."
Sheng Huarong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't help but look at Sheng Huanan and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, look at the eldest lady. The distinguished guests have arrived, but she still stopped us from returning to our seats. Isn't she just waiting to be laughed at?!"
"You don't care about her!"
Although Sheng Huanan attached great importance to his distinguished guests, he was unwilling to let the matter go. Otherwise, they would think that his third daughter-in-law was easy to bully, and what would happen if they found fault with her in the future?
Sheng Huanan glanced towards the door and vaguely saw several figures. Even if he let them go, it was too late. He simply said, "Those are the personal guards left to the eldest lady when father was alive. They only listen to her. I can't control them anymore."
Everyone choked.
Just as he was about to argue, the figure of old housekeeper Sheng appeared in his sight again. A few steps behind him, two figures walking together were particularly conspicuous.
It was a young man and a young girl.
The man was tall and slender, wearing a smoky blue shirt and black trousers. With a faint smile on his face, he exuded a gentle aura.
Every gesture and movement exudes elegance and grace, and a natural air of nobility.
The girl next to him looked a few years younger than him, with neat short hair and narrow eyes that were slightly narrowed. Even when she did nothing, she seemed full of aggression and wildness.
She was dressed casually, but everyone present was a connoisseur and immediately recognized the bracelet on the girl's fair wrist.
To be precise, what everyone recognized was the gem inlaid on the bracelet, which kept changing colors under the light.
"Infinity! Isn't that the Infinity Stone that caused such a sensation when it first appeared?"
"One light, one color. Hundreds of lights, hundreds of colors. The only thing that can change into so many colors is the Infinity Stone. But I heard that the Infinity Stone was taken by the royal family of Country Y and then given to the reclusive Windsor family of Country Y. How did it end up in the hands of that girl?"
“Could it be…”
Considering Mr. Sheng's seriousness, everyone had some guesses in their minds, but they didn't dare to believe it.
There were four people in total led in by Butler Sheng, including a man and a woman in the lead, and a man and a woman each following them.
Everyone tried to suppress their turbulent emotions and looked behind the two people, and they were stunned again.
They don’t know the woman on the right, but they know the man on the left!
Who else could it be but Huo Min who came to their Sheng family more than a month ago!
Huo Min...
Huo Min!
Huo Min, the reclusive butler of the Huo family!
There was no need to speculate further about the identity of the man in front of him who could make him so humble and respectful.
——It must be Huo Yunze, the young master of the reclusive Huo family.
Then their previous guess can be answered with a definite answer, that girl must be from the secluded Windsor family.
Two hidden families, a young master and a young lady.
What are the intentions of these two people suddenly appearing in their Sheng family?
Everyone's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, feeling a mixture of joy and excitement, as well as a hint of worry. They couldn't help but cast inquiring glances at Patriarch Sheng.
Mr. Sheng only learned about the arrival of the two from the old housekeeper Sheng, but he didn't know why they came.
Thinking of the last time Xie Xihe was invited by the Huo family to see a doctor, he looked in Xie Xihe's direction hesitantly, but could not see anything.
Old Master Sheng was not sure whether the other party was coming for Xie Xihe, and if he was coming for her, whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he did not speak immediately. After pondering for a moment, he took the initiative to step forward to greet him.
But he was stopped by Xie Xihe after taking only two steps.
Xie Xihe pushed the old man back to his seat and said, "You are the elder, just sit down."
Mr. Sheng: “???”
No, it’s true that he is the elder, but my dear, sometimes it depends on one’s status, right?
He is the young master of the Huo family and is closely related to the Windsor family. As the head of the Sheng family, he is quite good in Kyoto, but compared with the four hidden families, he is really not good enough!
He feels guilty sitting here!
Old Master Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish his words, Sheng Shijing stopped him. He glanced at him and said, "Listen to Xi'er and sit down."
Mr. Sheng was speechless, but he vaguely understood something, so he ignored it and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, okay."
Xie Xihe had already stood up to greet him.
However, there were already quite a few people gathered around the main table, and if he wanted to go over to see Huo Yunze and Meng Ke, he would have to go through the crowd. Xie Xihe frowned slightly.
Same situation.
Huo Yunze and Meng Ke had been looking for Xie Xihe since they entered the banquet hall, but because there were too many people in the banquet hall, and there were even quite a few guards, they looked around but couldn't find anyone, and their brows immediately frowned.
Huo Yunze couldn't help but complain, "It's a family dinner, isn't it? Why are they all standing? And there are so many guards? Are they having a meal or fighting?"
Huo Yunze said this softly, but Sheng Mingjiang, who was standing next to him, happened to hear it and his eyes flashed slightly.
His eyes quickly swept over the people around him. Seeing that everyone's attention was on Huo Yunze and the other two and no one was paying attention to them, Sheng Mingjiang immediately intensified his movements to help the elder of the Sheng family to calm down his anger. He exerted force with his fingertips and was ready to press an acupoint on the back of the elder of the Sheng family accurately.
The feeling of soreness spread rapidly. The elder of the Shengda clan couldn't help but cry out "Ouch" in pain, and his old face wrinkled into a ball.
Just as he was about to scold him, Sheng Mingjiang had already supported him with an anxious look on his face, and said worriedly: "Grandfather, you still feel upset and short of breath. Otherwise, just listen to me and let's go to the hospital."
The elder of the Sheng family turned pale and refused without a second thought: "Why go to the hospital? If I go there and tell the doctor that I was bullied by two juniors and went to the hospital, will it make me lose face and the Sheng family's reputation?!"
