When Old Master Chu suddenly heard Xiao Luo's grandfather, he was stunned for a moment.
When he realized that Boss Lu was talking about Luo Jiuyan's grandfather, a look of realization appeared on his face.
"Xiao Yan's grandfather? Who is his grandfather?"
Both Boss Chu and Boss Chu looked surprised.
When Luo Jiuyan showed up, he only said that he had lived abroad since he was a child. He never mentioned his family. The Chu family thought Luo Jiuyan was an orphan and never knew that Luo Jiuyan had a family.
"Not only Xiao Luo's grandfather, but also his father is here. And, besides, Mr. Luo, there is also the top leader accompanying him."
The three Chu family members, father and son, were so shocked by Boss Lu's words that their eyes popped out.
What virtue and ability did Luo Jiuyan's grandfather have to allow that person to accompany him? Who exactly is Luo Jiuyan's grandfather?
At this moment, the three Chu family members thought of what they had done to Luo Jiuyan, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
The original plan was to use the 100-day party for Xiao Qingran's child to morally blackmail Luo Jiuyan and force him to return to the Chu family and continue working for them.
But now, they are more worried that Luo Jiuyan’s grandfather and father will come to settle accounts with their Chu family.
"Since there are so many people over there, I won't join in the fun. Boss, Third Brother, push me outside to get some fresh air!"
Mr. Chu winked at his two sons. The eldest son, Chu, immediately said to Mr. Lu with an apologetic look on his face, "My father has been in very poor health recently. There are so many people here, so we two brothers will take him out for some fresh air and come back after the banquet starts."
Boss Lu responded, and Xiao Qingran and the others watched the Chu family's father and son leave.
"Luo, you should have known the Chu family's true colors for a long time. They have brought this upon themselves. I think they have ill intentions tonight, so be careful of their schemes."
Boss Lu patted Luo Jiuyan on the shoulder and signaled Xiao Qingran to stay by Luo Jiuyan's side.
As they were talking, they saw the head of the Wei family walk in with Wei Zishu and Madam Wei.
Wei Zishu looked at Xiao Qingran with a very strange look.
However, when the Wei family saw Wei Ziqing standing next to Xiao Qingran, they immediately walked over excitedly.
"Qingqing, it's really you. Where have you been? Why haven't you contacted your family for so long? Don't you know how much we miss you and are worried about you?"
Madam Wei held Wei Ziqing's hand, tears in her eyes.
The head of the Wei family also said: "Now that you are back this time, don't leave again. You are not young anymore, it is time for you to get married. We will definitely find a good match for you."
Wei Zishu said coldly to Wei Ziqing, "I just want to ask you, who broke my crystal slipper?"
After he asked, his eyes were fixed on Wei Ziqing, but his peripheral vision was secretly glancing at Xiao Qingran.
Wei Ziqing subconsciously glanced at the head of the Wei family and said calmly, "I broke it."
Wei Zishu suddenly looked at Xiao Qingran: "Then why did she tell me that she was the one who broke it?"
Wei Ziqing looked at Xiao Qingran in astonishment: "Ranran, you? Yes..."
Wei Ziqing smiled bitterly. "Back then, I broke my brother's crystal slippers and kept waiting for him to come and cause trouble for me. But after waiting for several days, there was no news. I quietly asked my dad, and he said that my brother must have thought he broke them, and told me not to worry about it. So I put the matter behind me. I didn't expect Ranran to take the blame for me for so many years."
Wei Zishu shook his head excitedly: "No, this is not true. You lied to me, all of you worked together to lie to me. It was Xiao Qingran who broke it, and you were all protecting her."
Xiao Qingran glanced at Wei Zishu coldly: "It happened so many years ago, is it still meaningful to bring it up now?"
Wei Ziqing also stared at Wei Zishu coldly, not knowing what he was up to.
"How can it be meaningless? Xiao Qingran, do you know? Do you know why I hate you so much? It's because you told me that you broke my crystal slippers. Ever since then, I have hated you very much. Even though I was engaged to you, I still disliked and hated you from the bottom of my heart. But now, you tell me that it was not Xiao Qingran who broke the crystal slippers. Hahahaha..."
Wei Zishu suddenly burst into laughter.
He looked at Xiao Qingran with extremely complicated eyes, showing regret, guilt, and self-blame.
Wei Ziqing suddenly grabbed Xiao Qingran's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ranran, it turns out that my brother hates you because of me. If I had known that it was because of me, even if my brother hit me, I would have taken the initiative to admit my mistake to him. I hurt you..."
Wei Ziqing burst into tears as she spoke.
Xiao Qingran patted Wei Ziqing on the back and comforted her: "The past is the past. It doesn't matter what the truth is. As long as we all live well, that's all that matters."
"No, you think it's in the past, but what about me? I've lost so much, who can I turn to?"
Wei Zishu roared, his gaze swept across Xiao Qingran and Wei Ziqing, and finally landed on the head of the Wei family.
"Dad, tell me, you already knew all this, right? You deliberately didn't tell me before because you didn't want me to be nice to Xiao Qingran. You were worried that the Xiao family would swallow up the Wei family, right?"
The head of the Wei family avoided Wei Zishu's gaze with a flickering look.
He didn't know at the time that Xiao Qingran was taking the blame. In fact, he was the one who accidentally broke the crystal slippers. He put the blame on his daughter simply because he couldn't save face in front of his son.
As for Wei Zishu, he was certainly worried that his son would become infatuated with Xiao Qingran. If they married, Xiao Qingran's child would likely inherit both the Wei and Xiao families. What if Wei Zishu treated Xiao Qingran too well and gave one of his sons the surname Xiao? Wouldn't that mean the Wei family would be a sham for the Xiao family? But what happened later wasn't his fault.
I can only say that fate plays tricks on us.
Now he dared not admit that he was the one who broke the crystal slippers first.
If he really says it out loud, he will become a sinner.
However, after knowing the truth, Wei Zishu will change his opinion of Xiao Qingran.
He wouldn't mind if Xiao Qingran got back together with his son. Luo Jiuyan was only half a son-in-law anyway. Without the Chu family's influence, Luo Jiuyan was nothing.
Just when the head of the Wei family was making his own plans, Grandpa Luo and Luo Qianqiu, as well as the old housekeeper and the old leader, Grandpa Lu, and Grandpa Wang and their group came over.
"Ranran, Xiaojiu, quickly bring the children over and let them see them. Aren't they just twins? You're so old, it's not like you haven't seen them before, right?"
Although Mr. Luo said this, he was extremely proud in his heart, especially in front of his old leader.
"Mr. Luo, if I had known that the young master would marry Ranran, I wouldn't have anything to worry about. It's like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other."
