Looking at the old man sitting next to Xu Yanan, everyone present was silent, even Su Nan was no exception, because they all felt a long-lost anger from the old man... He seldom got so angry after he started cultivating himself. For the first time in years.
"Yanan is the next generation heir of our Xu family. You are not qualified to say that about her because of emotion and reason. In terms of rules, especially those old rules that have been passed down since ancient times..." Xu Baigong leaned back on the sofa and seemed to run away I was also a little tired all day, with an unconcealable exhaustion on my face, "According to the old rules, she should have pulled out your tongues."
"Old... old man..." Someone dared to speak, and carefully announced Xu Yanan to Xu Bai, "It was the girl who scolded us elders first, she said that we are all moths of the Xu family..."
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Xu Yanan, and slowly raised his hand to stroke her head.
"You really said that?"
Xu Yanan nodded bluntly and said yes.
"Let's just say it."
Xu Baigong laughed and turned to look at everyone present.
"Do you think she was wrong?"
Everyone wants to refute at this time, of course Xu Yanan is wrong, no matter what she shouldn't talk about her elders in front of so many people, this matter would be criticized even in other families, but... see Xu Baigong's expression that seemed to be a smile was not a smile, and everyone chose to remain silent.
"This is the Xu family, not another family. Every family has its own rules, and our Xu family is no exception..." Xu Baigong said calmly.
After all, he looked up at the crowd and asked a question.
"What are the rules of our Xu family, you should know?"
If the rules are strict in the family, then among the four great families, only the Xu family is the most so. Before Xu Yanan was born, the internal hierarchy of the Xu family was strict, and everything was headed by the wishes of the patriarch. A generation of strangers, their status is far inferior to that of the next generation of family heirs.
To put it simply, the largest member of the Xu family is the patriarch, and the second largest should be Xu Yanan!
"Over the years, my good granddaughter has suffered a lot of grievances. There are many reasons, but the most important one is that I am old and confused, and people with old eyes can't see right from wrong..." Xu Baigong also sighed when he said this, There was unconcealed guilt in his eyes.
Xu Yanan, who was sitting by the side, was also stunned when she heard the old man's words. She looked at the old man with a complicated expression, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The grievances she had suffered in the family over the years seemed to have become vivid scenes. kept flashing through her mind...
"The development of the Xu family in the past two years is indeed very good. I can't deny that you played a role in it, Su Nan." Xu Baigong looked at Xu Yanan's mother, and slowly frowned, "But to get to the bottom of it, These developments are all based on those strangers who are running around, especially the girl Ya Nan, don't you know how much she has done for our Xu family?"
At this moment, Su Nan didn't feel any guilt in her heart, she only felt a burst of unbearable humiliation... Yes, Xu Baigong said this in front of so many people, she really felt ashamed, so she felt sorry for Xu Yanan in her heart. His resentment grew deeper and deeper.
"When I was young, I was not as busy as Yanan. At that time, I... lived like a person, not a tool driven by the family."
Xu Baigong murmured, the guilt in his words was even worse.
"Families need development and continuation. I know this, but none of this should be used as a reason to sacrifice the lives of the family's children. Even in feudal society, our Xu family has never done this. Don't forget what kind of family we are... , a person who is different from common sense, and does not fall into the cliché of a mortal body, so we don't need to do like other big families."
"Dad, I did it for the Xu family..."
For Su Nan's explanation, Xu Baigong showed an impatient attitude for the first time, because he heard this kind of explanation often before, and he believed it every time. Now thinking about it, it is simply a dark history of his own IQ decline...
"Whether the Xu family will rise or fall in the future is all due to fate, and it cannot be all on Yanan alone. From today on, Yanan can do whatever she wants. You just need to support her unconditionally." For other things, I don't want you to talk too much, and I think you all know how to treat future family heirs."
"How can this be possible!" Su Nan couldn't bear the feeling of being forcibly deprived of education rights at all, she looked at Xu Baigong with red eyes, and even her voice became louder: "Ya Nan is not a person in the first place." Obedient child, if she is allowed to do everything, then she might be useless in the future... Dad! Look at Yanan's hand! This girl has learned to tattoo now! How is this different from the hooligans outside! "
Hearing this, Xu Baigong was also taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Xu Yanan, and saw what Su Nan called "tattoo" on her newborn arm.
The extremely black pattern circled Xu Yanan's arm, and the pure and dull color formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin. In those complicated fonts or totems, Xu Baigong could sense a kind of pattern from ancient times. There is a strange and unspeakable energy in them... as if they are related to some ancient method.
"You child..." Xu Baigong sighed, but he was not as angry as the others imagined, with only a helpless expression on his face, he patted Xu Yanan's head, "Does the tattoo hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xu Yanan rarely showed a bright smile in this home, tilted her head and rubbed Xu Baigong's palm covered with age spots, and it was the first time in history that she acted like a baby at her grandfather, "Grandpa Don't be angry..."
"Of course it's a lie to say that you don't get angry. How can I not be angry seeing how you don't care about your body!" Xu Baigong glared at Xu Yanan, but his voice was still so kind and kind, and his words couldn't hide his distress, "Tattoo How painful..."
Seeing Xu Baigong and Xu Yanan's grandson Sunxiao enjoying the family happiness, everyone looked at each other and dared not say anything, even Su Nan didn't know what to say, because the current Xu Baigong obviously couldn't listen to her...
Everyone is confused sometimes, Xu Baigong is no exception, but fortunately he woke up and understood all this in time, especially after meeting with Li Sibai not long ago, the in-depth conversation at the wine table really woke up he.
"It's not that you don't know how strict I am with the Li family's children, but have you ever seen someone I used as a spearman?" Li Sibai said so at the time, with a look of contempt for Xu Bai in his words. The tone of the prince said, "That's your granddaughter, not your grandson... You use a little girl's family as a tool, you don't feel ashamed, and I feel ashamed for you!"
After drinking.
Xu Baigong didn't fall asleep all night in his room, because the past is so vivid... He can still remember every time Xu Yanan complained to him, the undisguised disappointment and sadness in her eyes, Like knives, they stabbed directly into Duke Xu Bai's heart.
Think back to the previous call.
After being reprimanded by her mother, she didn't even complain to herself as before, but told someone who had nothing to do with the Xu family about her grievances. Isn't this kind of thing worthy of shame as a grandfather?
"Go, go to the study with grandpa, I have something to give you."
"it is good!"
Looking at the smile on Xu Yanan's face that was brighter than the scorching sun, Xu Baigong unconsciously felt a sour regret. It's been a long time since this child smiled at him...
"Dad! You can't spoil her like this!"
Su Nan shouted to the old man with the last ray of hope, and the others mustered up their courage to follow Su Nan and began to express their "opinions".
"That's right, old man! Master Ci has defeated many grandchildren!"
"Our Xu family can't..."
Before they could start arguing again, Xu Paigong turned his head coldly, glanced at everyone's faces, and there was a kind of fierce anger in his tone.
"I'll clean up you guys tomorrow, get out now, if anyone doesn't want to get out... Ah Wu!"
After Xu Baigong's voice fell, a middle-aged man trotted in outside the door. He is the "A Wu" in Xu Baigong's mouth, and he is also one of the patriarch's guards who have been in office since twenty years ago. In addition to safety, he is also responsible for doing some things ordered by the patriarch himself.
As long as it was ordered by the patriarch, he would do whatever he wanted, even if he was asked to die, without even frowning.
"Master, you order."
"Throw all these people out, and if you don't want to go out, break your legs and throw them out. By the way, go and tell the kitchen to make me a table of dishes that the young lady likes to eat."
"clear."
Ah Wu nodded lightly, then turned around and looked at the crowd. The dense scars on his face made him look like a ghost, and his voice did not change from the beginning to the end. It is a programmed robot, and there is not even a slight fluctuation in the smooth tone.
"Everyone, please."
