Xu Qingyun, holding the box, coldly retorted, "I dare to put it down, but do you dare to take it? This box was Grandpa's most treasured possession when he was alive. Aren't you afraid that he will die with regrets and his soul will linger here, possessing you in the middle of the night?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sen felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.
The room was already empty, but now there was a memorial tablet and a portrait of the deceased, along with a peach wood sword and a talisman to ward off evil spirits, filling the entire room with a sinister chill.
Xu Sen was afraid, otherwise he wouldn't have invited the master to do these things.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qingyun's eyes, and her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something, causing her great pain!
Grandpa's death must not have been an accident, otherwise Xu Sen wouldn't be so guilty and afraid!
Xu Qingyun couldn't believe that Xu Sen was really so ruthless that he could even harm his own father.
But then she thought about it again and laughed at herself.
If Xu Sen can so cruelly kick his own twelve-year-old daughter out of the house, what else is he incapable of doing?
Xu Qingyun stopped wasting time talking to Xu Sen and went downstairs with her suitcase.
"Jiajia, your sister is downstairs. Hey, what happened to her face?"
Xu Jia scoffed, "She must have gotten beaten by my dad again for stealing. She's always been like that since she was little; she loves doing petty theft."
"Did you see that? They took my grandfather's things again this time. A leopard can't change its spots."
Xu Jia has been accustomed to framing Xu Qingyun since childhood, and she is already very skilled at it, never missing any opportunity.
Li Nannan sighed regretfully, "What a pity, she's so beautiful, but her character is so bad."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Qingyun remained calm and walked over. She placed the suitcase on the sofa, picked up a glass of red wine, and splashed it on Xu Jia's face.
Xu Qingyun's movements were crisp and clean, yet calm and exuded a strong aura.
"Ah...you bitch, are you crazy?!" Xu Jia screamed.
Red wine streamed down Xu Jia's face, and her pink dress was also stained with wine, making her look disheveled.
Xu Qingyun put down her wine glass. "Xu Jia, besides distorting the truth, what else can you do? You haven't improved at all over the years."
"Apologize to me!" Xu Jia was furious and grabbed Xu Qingyun's cheongsam.
Xu Qingyun glanced coldly at Xu Jia, "Let go!"
"I won't let you go! Apologize to me right now, or I'm not letting this go!" Xu Jia roared, stomping her feet and shouting, "Mom and Dad, that bitch Xu Qingyun is bullying me again, aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
Xu Jia is a spoiled child. She made a scene at the banquet and showed no regard for the family's reputation.
Xu Sen came downstairs with a grim expression.
Liang Wanrou also abandoned the guests and grabbed Xu Jia with exasperation, "Jiajia, what are you doing? So many people are watching."
Xu Sen shouted sharply, "Jiajia, haven't you made enough of a scene?!"
Xu Jia was startled, and then cried out in grievance, "Dad, you're being mean to me. You've never been this mean to me before."
Xu Qingyun only felt mocked. Is this what you call being fierce?
When she was little, Xu Sen often whipped her. Compared to her, what was Xu Jia's whipping?
Xu Sen's face was extremely ugly. His gaze fell on the box left by Xu Hongru, and a surge of anger rose within him.
Liang Wanrou naturally saw it too, and couldn't help but panic. In the end, it was still that little slut Xu Qingyun who got her.
However, she had inquired and found out that the Kongming lock was extremely difficult to open. Even her daughter, a graduate student, couldn't open it, let alone Xu Qingyun, a country bumpkin who had been living in society since she was twelve.
With that thought in mind, Liang Wanrou felt much more at ease and stopped focusing too much attention on the box.
"Jiajia, let go!" Liang Wanrou slapped Xu Jia's arm.
Xu Jia persisted, "I won't. I won't give up until Xu Qingyun kneels down and apologizes to me today."
The guests looked at each other in dismay. Judging from the conflict just now, Xu Jia was truly arrogant and domineering, and could not be treated appropriately.
At that moment, a commotion broke out.
"My God, who is that?! Isn't that the eldest young master of the Ji family?"
"The Ji family? The top-tier wealthy Ji family?! My god, the eldest son of the Ji family is so handsome?"
Ji Lun wore a white suit with a blue silk shirt underneath, the collar open, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air, his peach blossom eyes brimming with a faint smile.
Xu Jia instantly forgot about her fight with Xu Qingyun, wiped the red wine off her face, and said to Li Nannan and the others, "My fiancé is Ji Lun, the eldest son of the Ji family."
Xu Jia ran over and hugged Ji Lun affectionately, "Brother Lun."
Ji Lun did not push Xu Jia away, but his gaze was fixed on Xu Qingyun, a deep sense of amazement rising in his eyes.
Ji Lun had always known that Xu Qingyun was beautiful; otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued her for so long.
Even knowing this, Xu Qingyun still often amazes him, just like now.
Only she can pull off this black cheongsam with such style.
Even more coincidentally, he was wearing a white suit, and their black and white combination seemed almost destined.
Ji Lun desperately wanted to rush over and hug Xu Qingyun, to let everyone know that the cheongsam-clad beauty they coveted was his woman.
But he was a little embarrassed to agree to break up last night in a fit of pique, so he could only stand there with his tongue sticking out.
When Xu Jia saw him like this, she immediately became so angry that she trembled all over.
Xu Qingyun, that bitch, actually seduced her fiancé! How disgusting!
Xu Jia quickly shook Ji Lun's arm: "Brother Lun, Xu Qingyun is bullying me because she's being kept by Xu Zhengyuan. Can you teach her a lesson for me?"
Ji Lun raised his thin lips: "Fine, let's see who dares to bully my darling."
Xu Jia blushed; Ji Lun called her "baby" so charmingly.
Everyone watched this scene in shock, and Li Nannan was extremely envious.
