The Xu family is here!
The people inside had already seen it. Many people were originally curious about what Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were doing out there, and they kept their eyes on the two. Unexpectedly, I saw someone from the Xu family coming!
Many people stretched their necks and could not hear what was said at the door. They only saw Xu Tianzhe smiling and shaking hands with Xia Shao, and Liu Lan's face not looking good.
The ball hall immediately began to exchange glances - as expected, there were still people in the Xu family who disagreed. But sure enough, there are still people in the Xu family who agree.
If he didn't agree, no one from the Xu family would come to congratulate him tonight, and Xu Tianzhe's attitude wouldn't be so good. But if he agreed, Liu Lan's face would not be so cold.
In other words, the Xu family is divided into two factions, one is in favor and the other is against
As expected of someone who walks in the capital circles, everyone guessed the Xu family's current attitude toward Xia Shao's marriage with just a movement and a look at the door. It’s just that everyone is still not sure who is in favor and who is against it.
Although Xu Tianzhe is modest and courteous, he is also the direct grandson of the Xu family and a rising star in the political world. How could he not have a heart for the city? He came tonight because someone from the Xu family must have given the order. Who this person is is what everyone wants to know.
It may not be his parents, it may be the old man.
If it is the old man, that means that the old man agrees, but any of his children object
There are many people from the Qin family who came to congratulate me tonight, but there are also people from the Jiang family. Everyone immediately began to make plans. Both parties knew that if the Xu family had differences on this matter, it would be a good breakthrough for the Xu family.
When Xia Shao stepped aside and invited Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan to enter, the ball hall was silent. Everyone was guessing and calculating. When he looked up, he saw that someone had walked in. Most people were slightly startled, and then suddenly the atmosphere became heated. stand up.
In less than three seconds from when Xia Shao brought people in to when everyone reacted, the people in the dance were like the record player that had been removed, and now it was put back on and started to run again, the latest chapter of the gorgeous music in troubled times.
"Oh! Mayor Xu, nice to meet you! I haven't seen you for half a year. When did you come back?"
"Miss Cousin, I haven't seen you in a while, you look so gorgeous, haha!"
Miss Biao is the name given to Liu Lan by the upper class circles in the capital. There is only one family in the world, there is no other semicolon. No daughter of the three generations of the Qin family, Wang family, and Jiang family has such an honor, only Liu Lan. This shows the importance of the Xu family.
Liu Lan finally had a smile on her face, and she greeted everyone with a ladylike smile, decent speech, and the ability to respond with ease. Although she was proud, she was well-educated—of course, only for this class.
For the upper-class circles in the capital, Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan were obviously more familiar with each other than Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao, who had just entered the circle in the capital, and they were more comfortable talking with each other. So, with ease, with ease, the topic became like this -
"Ms. Cousin, I'm so late tonight. If you come earlier, can Director Xia still ignore the meal?"
"Of course Director Xia's food is delicious, but I think my cousin was kept at home by the old man, right? Did she come here after eating at the old man's place?"
"On this day, of course we are at the old man's place. Mayor Xu and Miss Biao must be there, otherwise it is so late and it is dark outside. How can Minister Xu feel free to let Miss Biao come out alone? He must be asking Mayor Xu to come with him. You came here to keep me company, right? Haha."
…
Asking why Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan came late, asking if it was the old man's wish that they came here, and asking if Liu Lan's coming here was her mother's wish, all sounded like small talk, mostly innuendo.
Everyone knew that Xu Tianzhe's city was deep, so they came to Liu Lan.
Liu Lan could hear the meaning behind these words. After all, she was the cousin of the third generation of the Xu family. She had been in this circle since she was a child. How could she not be able to hear the connotation of these words
However, she pretended not to understand. Letting them come over tonight was exactly what grandpa wanted, and if he said it, he would be too embarrassed for that woman. It's better not to say anything.
Seeing that Liu Lan was keeping quiet and Xu Tianzhe couldn't ask anything, the people around him couldn't help but look around.
Xia Shao listened calmly on the side, looked at Xu Tianzhe, and smiled meaningfully. Xu Tianyin's cousin did have a palace. When they met at the door, he called her "future sister-in-law", which sounded very polite and seemed to acknowledge her. But if you really admit it, why not leave it here
In the face of these insinuations, he was completely indifferent.
Ah…
Xia Shao smiled sarcastically. It seemed that Xu Tianyin was in the army and he was in politics. There was not much conflict in their interests, so they should treat each other as brothers and sisters. But her identity might make Xu Tianzhe feel disadvantageous to him. Or, there are other reasons. It's just that for these reasons, she hasn't met everyone in the Xu family yet, so it's hard to guess yet.
Just from meeting Xu Tianzhe tonight, Xia Shao's impression of this man is that he is not as simple as he appears. A handsome young man often lives in a deep city.
As expected, the high family has no family ties. Apart from being connected by blood, the only thing that connects them is interest.
Xia Shao looked at Xu Tianyin. She had no feelings for the Xu family. Apart from admiring the old man, to her, the Xu family was a group of people who were related to him by blood. Whether she respects them and loves them depends on whether he respects them and loves them.
Xu Tianyin always held her hand. The more speculation and testing around her, the tighter he held her hand. His eyes glanced at the faces of Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan. Seeing their smiles and their tight lips, he pursed his lips with such determination that it hurt.
Their smiles, their tightness, did him a disservice.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, and vaguely saw a hint of loneliness and envy in the eyes of this man who was as cold as a wolf king. He watched brother and sister Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan holding arms affectionately, but he could only stand aside.
This made Xia Shao's heart ache. He had been away for too long. When he came back, they had all grown up and there was no him in the world. Read the full text of Wu Ao Ba Huang. Xu Tianyin values love, and Xia Shao knows that he lost his parents when he was young, and no one desires family affection more than him. But he was born in the Xu family. Even if there is a respectable old man like Mr. Xu, his children and grandchildren will inevitably become greedy and unsentimental due to their long-term immersion in politics.
So he said, except grandpa, no one else is important.
This is not ruthlessness, but the silent grief and anger after being hurt by ruthlessness. It's just that Xu Tianyin is not good at expressing himself and sounds cold, but who knows if he feels pain in his heart when he says these words
Xia Shao raised her head, smiled at Xu Tianyin, and comforted him with her smile. The man looked down, his eyes so deep that it made people feel distressed, "It's okay, I have you."
His faint words were covered up by the laughter and greetings around him. At this time, someone asked a question.
"Hiss! Today is number two, right?"
Everyone was stunned. Those who heard this looked at the person asking the question in confusion. The person chuckled, looked at the black and white pair of Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan, and smiled apologetically: "No wonder Mayor Xu and Biao The lady is dressed so plainly.”
The bursts of laughter around him stopped, and the atmosphere changed because of these words.
Number two! Because of this dance, many people have forgotten this day. But after someone reminded me, I finally remembered it!
Today is the death anniversary of Mr. Xu’s eldest son and daughter-in-law, that is, Xu Tianyin’s parents!
On this day, ordinary people did not know it, but the political circles in the capital knew it very well. Although it happened more than 20 years ago, many people present were not yet in the political arena at that time. But even those who later entered politics knew the impact of that incident. That year, Mr. Xu's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law were killed abroad, which almost caused a dispute between the two countries. I heard that the murderer was not just a terrorist organization, but seemed to be somewhat involved in the relationship between the two countries at that time. Terrorist organizations can still be eradicated, but the two regimes cannot go to war over this. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with the murderer, the only option is to compensate the Xu family.
The compensation naturally fell on the second and third eldest sons of the Xu family. Although the Xu family's status in the political arena meant that both Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying had a bright future, politics required some achievements. At that time, Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying were still young, and their positions and levels were raised a lot. As a result, now only fifty years old, Xu Yanshao is a member of the Central Committee of the Republic, and Xu Yanying is already the Propaganda Minister of the Beijing Party Committee. Coupled with Xu Yanshao's wife Hua Fang, who works in the procuratorate, and Xu Yanying's husband Liu Zhenghong, the Xu family can be said to have a high position of power.
Moreover, generally speaking, for a high-ranking family like the Xu family, being in politics means being in politics, and their descendants basically have no contact with the military. As for families in the military, their children and grandchildren basically do not engage in politics. This is not just a question of where you have connections and where you can get promoted. But from a national perspective, we cannot allow one family to dominate and control the military and government.
But the Xu family is a special case.
Xu Tianyin entered the military world alone and was already the youngest major general in the Republic, holding military power.
If it hadn't been for the death of his parents that year, the Xu Xu family would not have had such a descendant who was alone in the military world.
An incident that year had an impact on both the political and political circles of the Republic for more than 20 years. People in the power circles in the capital naturally remember it clearly. The death anniversary of Xu Tianyin's parents is not a secret in the circle.
However, today, the companies under the Huaxia Group settled in the capital. There was a charity auction and a celebration dance. They were all attracted by this matter, but they forgot about such a big event!
At this moment, they were mentioned vaguely, and everyone looked at Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao with mixed and strange eyes.
Xu Tianyin spent the whole day with Xia Shao. On the anniversary of his parents' death, why didn't he go to the cemetery to pay homage? Also, Xia Shao has agreed to Xu Tianyin’s proposal. Will she know the death anniversary of her parents-in-law in the future? Isn’t it a bit disrespectful to choose today as a day that includes ribbon cutting, auction and dance
Mr. Xu has always valued courtesy and filial piety. Would he really agree to marry such a grandson-in-law
Of course, everyone didn't know that today's date was decided half a year ago. At that time, Xia Shao didn't know the death anniversary of Xu Tianyin's parents.
Everyone didn't know that when Xia Shao cut the ribbon for her opening this morning, she could have worn red, but instead wore green instead of red. Tonight should be grand, but I dressed plainly.
But no one knew about this, not even Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan. But they knew that Xu Tianyin never worshiped his parents today, but the day before, his birthday.
But at this time, the two of them didn't explain much. Liu Lan even lowered his eyes and his eyes flickered.
This is an opportunity.
Although grandpa agreed with this woman's intention to enter the Xu family, he has not officially admitted it yet. No one outside knows, and neither does the woman. If she takes advantage of this moment to say something ambiguous, causing the outside world to speculate that her grandfather may be dissatisfied, and also making this woman think that her grandfather does not like her, will she give up in spite of the difficulties
Anyway, what she said was ambiguous, and it’s someone else’s business if she guesses wrong. Come to think of it, grandpa couldn't pursue her too closely.
Thoughts like this, although Liu Lan didn't show it on her face, Xia Shao had already laid his eyes on her coldly.
She was not a person who was often angry, and her mood could be considered calm, but at this moment she was angry. Even more angry than when counterfeit goods got into the company this morning!
She looked at Xu Tianyin, who seemed to be shaken when the man vaguely mentioned the anniversary of his parents' death. He was wearing a crisp suit, and his straight back looked like frost and snow had fallen on it.
Xia Shao was angry about this. These people did not hesitate to mention the death anniversary of other people's relatives, just to verify their guesses. For the sake of profit, he does not hesitate to rub salt into other people's wounds, and looks at others with an unfilial look - shameless!
The two people who were called relatives by blood knew Xu Tianyin's habits but didn't express much. The polite man lowered his eyes at the moment, as if he was saddened by the mention of today. The man who was as proud as a peacock also lowered his eyes at this moment, as if he was in pain. But her breath relaxed instantly, completely different from the previous hostility.
With her cultivation level, how could she not be able to see this
Damn it!
They live in the capital, shrouded in the glitz and glamor of the upper class, while Xu Tianyin lives abroad, in dangerous areas of darkness shrouded in hidden knives and guns. Different living environments lead to different people. They had little contact with him, had different experiences, and had no common language. Xia Shao understood. But this does not mean that they can do this. Because they have no feelings, they forget their blood ties.
Xu Tianyin's aura was extremely dangerous at this moment. He lowered his head and looked like a wounded lone wolf. Those who tentatively looked at him through a moral lens had discovered something was wrong. Xu Tianyin lowered his head. They couldn't see his eyes, but they felt cold for no reason.
Xu Tianzhe was startled and turned around to look.
Xia Shao held Xu Tianyin's hand and comforted him. At the same time, she raised her eyes and looked at Xu Tianzhe.
She smiled, smiling in the face of Xu Tianyin's cold breath and Xu Tianzhe's shocked eyes. She smiled inappropriately and made Xu Tianzhe confused.
Inexplicably, he was slightly startled.
Xia Shao did not shy away from it. In the crowded circle, from an angle that only he could see clearly, she quickly drew something with her fingertips. Then he saw her fingertips flick and point forward. The name mentioned Xu Tianyin in a vague way. Officials on the anniversary of their parents' death.
Xu Tianzhe couldn't see the golden light drawn in the air by the talisman made in the void, but his eyes were strange and he felt that the gesture was strange. This was a gesture he had never seen before in his twenty-seven years of flashy life. It looks strange and doesn't feel like a gesture that should appear in reality.
Xu Tianzhe looked at Xia Shao with strange eyes, but saw that her smile was leisurely, cool and meaningful.
At this time, Xu Tianzhe still didn't understand the true meaning of Xia Shao's smile.
But starting from tomorrow, he will understand.
As long as he sees the fate of those who talk nonsense.
At this time, Xia Shao didn't say much. After she made the talisman, she saw Liu Lan immersed in her own thoughts. Only then did she realize that something was wrong in the atmosphere. When she raised her head, Xia Shao had already spoken about her concubine. The latest chapter of happy life.
"I only heard about this recently. At that time, the date of the company celebration had already been decided and the invitations had been sent out. It really couldn't be changed. So, we had already been to the cemetery yesterday. We are here to attend the company ceremony today. I've reported it to the old man, he knows it." Xia Shao said in a leisurely manner, but the atmosphere around him was completely overturned!
Liu Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Shao with a look of disbelief, anger, and suspicion - when had she reported this to her grandfather? She has never met her grandpa! How dare she lie in public
But then, Liu Lan was surprised again. Xia Shao lied in front of her and Xu Tianzhe. She shouldn't be so courageous. Then, is it possible that she and her grandfather have really met
When did this happen
Xu Tianzhe obviously thought of this as well, as Xia Shao's strange behavior just now was temporarily put aside by him. After being stunned just now, he returned to his modest and polite smile, but looked at Xia Shao a little deeper.
But many people around were shocked!
Has Xia Shao met Mr. Xu? Xu Tianyin stayed with her all day today. Did the old man mean it
In front of Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan, no one would think that Xia Shao dared to lie. That is to say, Mr. Xu nodded and acknowledged Xia Shao privately
Some people were shocked and suspicious, and some people's eyes averted because of the temptation just now. Some people immediately put on a flattering smile.
Xia Shao didn't even look at these people. She looked directly at Liu Lan and said, "Miss Liu, go sit in the leisure area and chat for a while. We first met and we are about the same age. I think there are many ideals in life that are worth talking about."
Xia Shao spoke slowly and meaningfully.
When Liu Lan heard this, she instinctively felt uncomfortable. She subconsciously wanted to refuse because she didn't want to talk to her!
But she couldn't say no, and before even a look of disgust or disgust came out, her eyes turned into a daze.
After being stunned, came panic.
Why can't her voice make any sound
Her body is out of control!
Liu Lan's expression and eyes were full of fear, which made the people around her confused. No one could understand why she looked like this at this time. But he saw Xia Shao nodding to everyone, and the crowd made a way. Xia Shao took Xu Tianyin's arm and walked in front. Liu Lan followed behind and went to the leisure area in a cooperative manner.
Xu Tianzhe's eyes looked strange for a moment. At this time, he didn't know that besides power and money, there were people like Qimen Jianghu who existed in the world. He didn't see the gentle pinch from Xia Shao's fingertips, but when he saw Liu Lan following him, he wanted to go too. The people around him gathered around him again and began to ask about the old man's intentions.
When Xia Shao said this just now, these people naturally wanted to find out.
As for the leisure area, Xia Shao walked over with Liu Lan. Zhan Ruohao and Qu Ran had come back and found that Qi Chen was missing. Zhan Ruohao was talking on the phone with anxious eyes. When Xia Shao came over, she saw him hanging up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sit here for a while." Zhan Ruohao said to Qu Ran, then looked up at Xia Shao and left the dance hall.
Qi Chen didn't go far, he was downstairs.
Qu Ran's eyes followed Zhan Ruohao out, but then he looked back at Xu Tianyin and backed away in fear.
Xu Tianyin's eyes were cold, so cold that people could tremble all over just looking at him. Zhan Ruonan and Liu Xianxian quarreled to the side and stopped, both of them became hoarse.
Xia Shao didn't care. She sat down, looked at Liu Lan who looked frightened, and smiled.
