Just as Chu Xiao was about to have an attack, the person next to him quickly whispered:
"Great Elder! We finally asked Chu Ning to come back, so don't fall out again because of the quarrel! Business is important! Business is important!"
Chu Xiao had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.
Anyway, the invitation has been written, so it’s not a big deal if you lower your attitude now.
This was not only for the Chu family, but also for himself.
Thinking of this, he straightened his expression and suppressed the anger on his face.
"That can't be said here. What does it look like with so many people standing here!? Come in first!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the hall.
A small part of the other people followed him in, while a large part still looked at Chu Ning, as if waiting for him to move.
Chu Ji did not dare to provoke him again, but said earnestly from the side:
"Brother, please go first! You are the eldest brother, so naturally you go first!"
Chu Ning glanced at him.
There was no trace of embarrassment from being humiliated on Chu Ji's face, only excitement and pleasure.
Seeing Chu Ning sizing him up, he quickly said:
"Brother, you haven't been back for a while, and you may still be a little unaccustomed to it, but don't worry, just ask if you have any orders! I will definitely help you do it!"
Chu Ning saw that he meant what he said.
Chu Ji really didn't hold grudges about what happened just now, but instead wholeheartedly tried to find ways to please him.
What an irony.
Chu Ning shook his head secretly and walked towards the hall.
After seeing him go in, others followed.
Chu Ning was placed first on the left.
Apart from the one where Chu Xiao always sits, this is the most distinguished position.
Even ranked before other elders of the Chu family.
But Chu Ning didn't bother to worry about it at this time and sat down directly.
"Now that everyone has come in, can the Great Elder speak directly?"
He didn't want to waste time here. The longer he stayed with these people, the more unbearable he felt.
Therefore, he planned to resolve the matter quickly and return.
Chu Xiao was dissatisfied with Chu Ning's attitude, but he also knew that now was not the time to care about that.
So, he said:
"According to what the head of the family said at the beginning, he should be released from seclusion in the near future. If the head of the family knew what happened, he would definitely be very disappointed. Therefore, I came to you today to discuss and see what should be done about this matter."
Chu Ning chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"What else can we do? Things have already happened. Do we have to pretend that it never happened? When the head of the family comes out of seclusion, I will explain it to him personally."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Chu Ning to say this.
Chu Ji couldn't help but said:
"Brother, don't you always respect the head of the family the most? If you sever ties with the Chu family, it is equivalent to severing relations with the head of the family. If the head of the family finds out, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable."
Chu Ning said calmly:
"I know. No matter before or now, my respect for the head of the family has always been the same, but the matter has come to this, and no one can turn back. Therefore, no matter how the head of the family views me, I will accept it."
"are you serious?"
Even Chu Xiao couldn't help but ask back, obviously shocked that Chu Ning said such words.
Everyone in the Chu family knows that Chu Ning is a very emotional person.
I thought that moving out would make him regret his decision, but now it seems a bit unexpected.
Chu Ning nodded:
"Naturally. Every word I say is carefully thought out."
There was an awkward silence in the hall.
He had said this first, how could he let others speak
After a while, Chu Xiao frowned and said:
"Chun Ning, since you said so, we don't need to say any unnecessary polite words. You should know why I called you back today."
Chu Ning looked sincere:
"I'm sorry, I really don't know. Is it to apologize to me and Yue'er, to ease the relationship with our father and daughter, or to beg us to come back? If you don't tell me, how can I guess?"
Everyone's expressions became awkward again.
Chu Xiao suppressed his anger:
"Chun Ning! Don't go too far!"
"I really don't know, that's why I ask this. Is this too much?"
Chu Ning sneered and glanced at everyone.
"You're not going to ask me to come back to make things happen, right?"
"enough!"
Chu Xiao felt very harsh after hearing these words, and finally couldn't hold it back any longer. He stood up angrily, stared at Chu Ning and said:
"Don't you just want us to admit that we want you to come back?!"
"It's not 'give', it's 'beg'." Chu Ning corrected sincerely.
"."
Chu Xiao's complexion was green and white, changing constantly.
"Chun Ning, you are right. Now the entire Chu family hopes that you and Liu Yue can come back and become the Chu family again."
The third elder who had never said a word suddenly spoke and looked at Chu Ning kindly.
"It is the Chu family that is sorry for you father and daughter, so no matter what you choose, it is fine. If you agree to come back, everyone in the Chu family will be grateful. If you are not willing, then... today's events will be treated as if they never happened."
The third elder's words made the Chu family present even more embarrassed.
But they had to endure it.
After all, someone has to say this, and they are indeed the ones asking for help.
Chu Ning's expression softened a little, and she nodded gently to the third elder.
"Thank you, Third Elder, for pointing it out. My answer is - I disagree."
This answer was also among everyone's reactions, but they had already prepared a lot of words of persuasion.
"Chun Ning, please think about it carefully! After all, the Chu family is the place where you were born and raised. Don't you have any attachment at all?"
"Yes! Brother! If you are still angry about Chu Yan and his family, it's not worth it! You probably don't know yet that Lu Yao instigated the Gu family's wife to go to Tianlu College to cause trouble, and she was beaten up by the Gu family's head. Clean it up! But Chu Yan is still lying in bed and can’t get up!"
"The two of them have caused great harm to the Chu family. Now that the Chu family is in decline and so many things have happened, it is really in danger. Chu Ning, do you really want to sit back and watch? How will we deal with the family leader when he comes out of confinement? explain?"
"If you are still worried about what happened in the past, how about we ask you to get it back? By the way, there is Liu Yue! We have locked up all the servants who bullied her before! As long as you come back , these people are at your disposal!"
The various sounds mixed together made Chu Ning extremely bored.
He suddenly sneered:
"Oh? Really? If I remember correctly, many of you here have done the same thing, right? If you really want to settle the matter, then you can't escape, right?"
The hall fell silent instantly.
Chu Ning looked at Chu Xiao and said coldly:
"How about starting with Elder Chu as the first one?"
