Let’s talk about what happened yesterday when Xu Changlin returned home.
It is no exaggeration to say...the whole person is in a dazed state.
But he didn't forget what he was going to do.
Gather everyone back to the back hall to hold a family meeting!
Even when he went to see Old Master Xu, he just pushed open the door and said with a dull look, "Come to the back hall."
Then continue to tour the house by house...
Everyone in the Xu family was stunned, and Old Master Xu found it even more difficult to understand as he looked at his son who seemed to have gone insane.
Didn't Xu Changlin go to pick her up at the airport? Why did she come back like this?
Even Xu Wanqing called out twice but to no avail...
Not long.
Everyone in the Xu family finally gathered in the back hall.
But Xu Changlin, who was standing in the center of the back hall, still seemed to be in a daze. He didn't move, and stared blankly outside the door. No one knew what he was looking at.
"Bang!"
"Xu Changlin!"
Old Master Xu couldn't bear it any longer, he slapped the armrest beside him and shouted angrily.
This voice is still useful.
Xu Changlin shuddered suddenly, turned around, and some clarity had returned to his eyes.
But he seemed to feel that this was not enough to fully realize his mistake, so he slapped himself again.
This scene made many members of the Xu family secretly smack their lips in amazement. The eldest brother (uncle) really wanted to kill him! If this slap hit an ordinary person's face, it would probably break half of a pig's head.
Even if you slap a master like him on the face, there will be a red mark!
But everyone in the Xu family, including old man Xu Jiansheng, also understood... something really big might have happened!
It was also this slap that finally woke Xu Changlin up.
"Dad! Second brother, third brother... Jiang Bei is back in Shanghai!"
No one in the Xu family was surprised.
Xu Jiansheng even picked up the water cup beside him and drank a sip of water, thinking that something was wrong...
"Xue Yu also came back with Jiang Bei!"
"What?!!"
Mr. Xu's mouthful of water almost sprayed directly onto Xu Changlin's face.
He just spoke to that old bastard Xue Shusheng yesterday!
The marriage certificate was torn up!
So... this old bastard lied to me!
Xu Wanqing also raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Changlin, did you see it clearly? Xue Yu has become a master?" Xu Jiansheng asked in surprise.
Xu Changlin nodded repeatedly. Otherwise, he would not have come back in such a horrible state.
then……
From the back hall of the Xu family, there were sounds of people gasping for air.
"This scholar Xue! He has no shame at all! Shameless! Too shameless! God is watching what we do! This guy is simply a disgrace to us ancient warriors!" Xu Jiansheng slapped the armrest angrily again.
"The Xue family must have come into the world to seek favors from Jiangbei! If not, how could Xue Shusheng, that old bastard, do this!"
"Dad, what should we do?!" Xu Changlin's voice had become sharp.
Comrade Lao Xu fell silent.
He didn't know what to do...
Jiangbei owes favors to the Xue family, but his Xu family... is completely the opposite!
"It doesn't matter if I lose face again!" Xu Jiansheng said angrily.
The Xu family was not surprised...
Lately, I've gotten used to it.
Xu Wanqing pursed her lips but was unable to speak.
"Ahem! Wanqing..." Xu Jiansheng coughed dryly, looking embarrassed.
"Grandpa, I know everything..." Xu Wanqing replied.
"How could Mr. Xue be so shameless? Xue Yu, that girl, had her engagement broken off and had already become a master, but she still wanted to go back to Shanghai with Jiang Bei? Do you know why?" Xu Jiansheng asked directly.
Xu Wanqing shook her head silently, but in fact...she knew it well.
"Silly child, you don't understand." Xu Jiansheng smiled bitterly.
Many of the third generation descendants of the Xue family did not know what was going on and listened attentively to the patriarch's sighs.
But Xu Changlin and other second-generation disciples could not help but secretly hold their foreheads.
If nothing goes as expected...
The old man is about to start brainwashing again.
Otherwise...if Xu Jiansheng is not the strongest among the masters, and his family is not the most powerful, how can he be the face of the ancient martial arts world?
Many times, it’s just relying on this mouth!
For the sake of face, what does it matter if Xu Jiansheng suffers a little loss in other aspects?
But today!
Xu Jiansheng couldn't bear this loss!
“The Xue family was unwilling to give up Jiang Bei as their son-in-law, so the whole family came out to do Jiang Bei a favor.”
"But what about Xue Yu? As the third-generation eldest daughter of the Xue family, doesn't she have a bit of pride? Why does she still act like this?"
"It's because she's just as proud! So, why should she break off the engagement just because Jiang Bei wants to?"
"Has Jiang Bei never broken off the engagement with his other fiancées? As far as I know, you and Xue Yu, like them, were engaged by Jiang Bei's masters!"
"So it is very likely that Xue Yu gave up the status of fiancée and wanted to fight for it in another way!"
No matter whether what he said made sense or not, Xu Jiansheng was just fooling people at this moment!
By cheating!
Xu Wanqing also needs to be determined!
Xu Wanqing was stunned.
She had wanted to fight for these things before, but... the price Jiang Bei proposed was something that neither she nor the Xu family could refuse.
But now that the engagement is called off...can we still fight?
"Wanqing, what's the only thing you lack from Xue Yu? She can abandon her status as Jiangbei's fiancée and still come all the way from the imperial capital for her husband. What about you?"
"Why would you give him up when he is clearly your fiancé? Even if you lose this status, why can't you take him back? Let him... truly fall in love with you?"
"Didn't Jiang Bei say that? Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness!"
"Even if someone stabs my Xu family in the back, what can we do? For your future happiness, Grandpa will accept it!"
“…”
Xu Wanqing was silent. M..
Xu Jiansheng took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Wanqing... you already have the answer in your heart, right? No matter what choice you make, Grandpa will not blame you. You have the entire Xu family behind you."
But under the expectant gazes of everyone in the Xu family, she still nodded.
The corner of Xu Changlin's mouth twitched. Although his father's skills had not been used for a long time, they were still really...amazing!
"Grandpa... I won't give up." Xu Wanqing stood up slowly, "I'm a little tired... I'll go back and rest first."
Her mind was in a mess and she needed to go back and think about it.
But no matter what, Xue Yu came back after being broken off the engagement, so why couldn't she?
Even if she is the one paying for it!
And according to her grandfather, she can not be responsible for the family, she can completely give up this marriage, but can she do it?
Wait until Xu Wanqing leaves.
The Xu family members planned in the back hall until 10 o'clock in the evening before they adjourned...
then.
The next evening.
Jiangbei arrived.
Mr. Xu had already made all the mental preparations and went out to greet them in person.
The moment he saw them, Jiang Bei's heart skipped a beat.
Inexplicably, I felt that the people from the Xu family were looking at me as if they wanted to eat me alive.
Xu Wanqing was fine, her temperament was still cool and stunning, and her every move revealed that kind of classical beauty. Moreover, she was wearing a cheongsam today, and her calves were slender and tight, without any excess fat.
Jiang Bei took a glance and quickly looked away.
"Hahahahaha! Young friend Jiang! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still as handsome as ever!"
"Please come in, please come in!"
Jiang Bei swallowed his saliva and recalled what Su Lanxin said in his heart. This old man Xu was a respected senior in the ancient martial arts world...
Xu Wanqing is also a very face-conscious young lady...
It shouldn’t be…right?
Jiang Bei kept telling himself in his heart that there was no need to worry!
Soon, he followed the Xu family to the back hall.
Xu Changlin even eagerly poured tea for Jiang Bei, without even using a servant. This scene made Jiang Bei feel even more that something was wrong.
Especially Comrade Xu who was sitting in the first seat... why was there a faint green light in his eyes?
"My dear Jiang! Hahaha!" Xu Jiansheng laughed heartily again.
"Regarding this marriage...my Xu family has already considered it!"
"Since you have proposed to cancel the engagement, my Xu family will definitely agree! As for what Jiang Xiaoyou mentioned... this is a favor that my Xu family owes you." Old Master Xu said solemnly.
Jiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Senior Xu was indeed a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Wanqing.
I noticed that the woman also had a calm look.
I feel more and more that the women at home are all talented. The next step is to just do as they say and not touch Xu Wanqing. At most, I can just use more true energy!
Just take a look...it shouldn't be a big problem.
It's something only known to God, the earth, you and me.
