Chapter 440: Uncle Xiao Gets Beaten
Bai Lao stepped forward, blocked Xiao Renliang's way, and shouted, "Master Shen saved your father's life, what's your attitude?"
In the past two days, he also learned about the relationship between Shen Wan and the Xiao family from his grandson.
Since Master Shen has not admitted that he is a member of the Xiao family, nor has he recognized Old Xiao, he will not meddle in other people's business and point it out in public.
Xiao Renliang's face turned pale: "Bai Yijia, I respect you as an elder, don't challenge my patience again and again!"
"Chen Wan detained my father, so what if I asked her for his return?"
"Master Shen is your Xiao family's savior. You should kowtow to her!" Old Bai sneered, "Or maybe Old Xiao never taught you what family education is? I have never seen the son of an aristocratic family speak to his savior in an arrogant and commanding tone."
Xiao Renliang was really angry. He waved his hand and was about to give an order.
"Stop." When Mr. Xiao learned that his son was making trouble at the door, he hurried over.
Seeing his eldest son bringing so many people with murderous intent, he became even angrier and slapped Xiao Renliang in the face.
"Father!" Xiao Renliang couldn't believe it.
Mr. Xiao said angrily: “Old Bai is right, is this how I educate you?”
"Master Shen is my savior. What do you want to do by bringing so many people here?"
When Xiao Renliang heard his father say this, he thought his father didn't know Shen Wan's identity yet, and he felt relieved.
"Father, I'm worried about your safety. I couldn't contact you these past few days. I thought you..."
"Master Shen saved me regardless of the past grudges. It's wrong for you to bring people to her doorstep to cause trouble. Apologize to her!" Old Man Xiao shouted coldly.
Xiao Renliang gritted his teeth and had to say to Chen Wan indifferently, "I'm sorry."
Mr. Xiao was still not satisfied, "That's it?"
Xiao Renliang: "Father, I've already apologized to her, what else do you want?"
"I told you that Master Shen was your father's lifesaver. Not only did you not thank her, you even spoke ill of her. How can you just say sorry and that's it?"
"If you don't get Master Shen's forgiveness today, don't even think about recognizing me as your father in the future!"
Xiao Renliang was dumbfounded. He didn't know why his father was so angry.
It is true that Chen Wan saved his father, but it is not necessary for his father to be so furious and defend Chen Wan so much?
Could it be that father already knew that Chen Wan was the younger sister’s daughter?
That's not right either.
Given the father's protective nature, once he knew that Chen Wan was Xiaowu's daughter, he would definitely ask to take her home and let her recognize her ancestral roots.
But his father just asked him to apologize.
It seems that Shen Wan's attainments in metaphysics are extraordinary.
Otherwise my father wouldn't have gotten so angry.
Maybe he was just afraid of offending Chen Wan.
Xiao Renliang sneered in his heart, but in order to calm his father down, he had to bend down slightly and said another sentence quickly.
"I misunderstood you, Master Shen, I'm sorry!"
Chen Wan looked at the hypocritical Xiao Renliang with a cold expression: "Take your Xiao family and get out of here."
"You!" Xiao Renliang was furious, but he endured it again and again.
Xiao Lao was afraid that Shen Wan would dislike him even more, so he quickly removed himself from the situation, “You misunderstood, I didn’t ask him to come.”
"Mr. Xiao, you've been eating and drinking for free at my house for two days. Now that your son has come to visit, it's time for you to leave."
Shen Wan had a cold attitude and drove people away.
Mr. Xiao suddenly became anxious, "I won't leave!"
"Father!" Xiao Renliang was even more anxious than him. "You've already returned safely, why are you still hanging around here? There are still a lot of things to do at home."
Old Xiao frowned and said coldly: "Who knows if those bad guys will take me away again? Can you save me?"
Xiao Renliang: “…”
"Father, you must go back and tell me who kidnapped you, so that I can avenge you."
"Just you? Forget it, you haven't even found out who took me away, right?" Old Xiao said, retreating to Shen Wan's side, unwavering, "I won't leave."
"Shanhai Bay is very safe. If you are really worried, go talk to Li Hanting about buying a house here for your father to live in in his old age."
Xiao Renliang felt helpless when he saw his old father who was like a naughty boy.
I always felt like my father knew something.
He rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "Father, Qianxue was very worried about you during the days you were missing."
Mr. Xiao frowned slightly.
How could I forget about this fake one?
"You haven't been away from Qianxue for so long since she returned home. Don't you worry about her?" Xiao Renliang was still testing.
There is no better son than a father.
How could Mr. Xiao not know that his son was testing whether he knew it?
Thinking that there was still the fake Shen Qianxue who had not been driven out, Mr. Xiao could not hold back.
Now is not a good time to make it public, at least not the right place.
At the beginning, he announced at the birthday banquet that Shen Qianxue was his granddaughter.
He must not tell everyone in this situation that Shen Wan is his dear granddaughter!
"Yes, she is still at home." Old Man Xiao's eyes were gloomy, and he readily agreed to follow his son home.
Xiao Renliang finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, my father didn’t know Shen Wan’s identity.
He glanced at Chen Wan meaningfully.
It was a little surprising that Shen Wan didn't take the opportunity to tell her father her identity.
Forget it, as long as father is willing to come home.
Staying in Shanhaiwan will only lead to more trouble and something bad will happen sooner or later.
Old Xiao turned to face Shen Wan and said amiably: "Thank you for saving me, you are the great benefactor of my Xiao family!"
There was no expression on Shen Wan's face, he was so indifferent as if he was looking at a stranger.
Mr. Xiao said to Mr. Bai again, "Old Bai, I will come back to see you in two days. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to China, so you should stay for a while."
Bai Lao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and see me."
He knew that Old Xiao definitely came back not to see him, but to see his granddaughter.
Mr. Xiao got in the car.
As soon as Xiao Renliang sat down, he was hit hard on the head twice.
"Father! You have beaten me several times today!"
"You deserve to be beaten." Old Xiao was furious. "Master Shen is my savior. Why are you so hostile to her?"
In order to hide his guilty conscience, Xiao Renliang had to make up a random excuse.
"I heard that she often disobeyed my second brother's management in the Ninth Inning..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Bang bang bang!
He received several more blows on the head from his old father.
"Wake up, the Qing Dynasty has fallen and you are still committing treason. Don't think I don't know that Master Shen was a specially hired consultant when she was in the Ninth Bureau and was not under Wen Li's jurisdiction. She is a free agent!"
"Is that the only reason you dislike her?"
Mr. Xiao really didn't understand.
Before the youngest daughter Yinqiu fell out with her family, her four older brothers doted on her to the utmost.
Logically speaking, they knew that Yin Qiu’s daughter was Chen Wan, so they should cherish her and treat her well.
Where does all this inexplicable hostility come from?
