Mr. Xu sat trembling with Mrs. Xu on the other end of the sofa, looking at Qin Zhan who was seated in the main seat. Mr. Xu felt sowhat uncomfortable. After all, it was his own ho, and suddenly having soone barging in like this to take over his seat—especially soone of the younger generation—was indeed very humiliating.
Mrs. Xu felt sowhat humiliated seeing Mr. Xu smiling fawningly beside her, but there was nothing she could do.
If it were any other ti, Mr. Xu might have directly flown into a rage. However, this person wasn’t just anyone, but the rightful heir of the high-and-mighty Qin Family, the future Qin Family Head. Most importantly, it was soone whose reputation in Beijing was already surpassing that of the Qin Family Head from years ago.
To put it bluntly, the Xu Family and the Qin Family were not on the sa level. And yet, Xu Renfei got along well with several of the Crown Princes including Qin Zhan, which was why many people would give them so face.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu’s eyes darkened. This was also the reason she couldn’t directly take action against Xu Renfei, and even why it affected the inclusion of her son into the Xu Family.
After all... her son was indeed a child of the Xu Family by blood!
"I wonder what brings the Fourth Young Master to the Xu Family today?" Mr. Xu poured a glass of water for Qin Zhan and asked with a smile.
Qin Zhan slightly lifted his eyes, his narrow phoenix eyes deep and dark, fixing on Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu felt cold sweat break out on his back, the danger and sense of imminent pressure from those eyes left him with no escape.
It felt as if in the next second, a ferocious beast would open its bloody maw and swallow him whole.
Seeing Mr. Xu’s fearful deanor, Qin Zhan retracted his gaze coldly, crossed his legs, and casually leaned back against the sofa. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on his knee.
As ti ticked by, both Mr. and Mrs. Xu, no matter how clueless, understood that Qin Zhan had not co with good intentions today.
Just then, a young man with silver-frad glasses walked in through the open door. He stood at the entrance and respectfully said to Qin Zhan inside, "Master, Old Madam Xu has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Xu imdiately stood up, eyes wide with surprise as they looked at Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan nodded lightly, casually lifting his chin. The young man, receiving the signal, stepped forward and made way, slightly turning to the side and gesturing, "Old Madam Xu, please."
As Old Madam Xu was ushered in by others, Mr. and Mrs. Xu quickly got up to greet her. Mr. Xu supported Old Madam Xu on one side, "Mom, why have you co?"
"Yes, Mom, why have you co?" Mrs. Xu moved to take over the support of Old Madam Xu, speaking softly.
Old Madam Xu brusquely shook off Mrs. Xu’s support, giving her a hostile glare. She addressed the person Mrs. Xu had pushed aside, "Mrs. Wang, you’ve been in the Xu Family for so many years, can’t you tell who the outsiders are?"
Hearing Old Madam Xu’s words, Mrs. Xu’s face turned pale, and Mr. Xu’s countenance also darkened, but they did not dare to retort. Mrs. Wang quickly stepped forward to support Old Madam Xu, "Old Madam, you know I’m old too, sotis my strength can’t match others."
"Then be more careful, lest you not only get hard by others but also have the bla pushed onto you," Old Madam Xu said coldly.
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreent.
Mr. Xu hurriedly changed the topic, "Mom, you still haven’t said why you ca."
Old Madam Xu was ushered to the sofa. She looked at the young man who had been quietly seated in the main seat and slowly said, "I wonder what Mr. Qin’s reasons are for inviting this old woman here."
Mr. and Mrs. Xu now understood clearly. It turned out that Old Madam Xu was invited here by Qin Zhan. It seed the matter Qin Zhan ca for today was indeed significant.
Qin Zhan raised his hand slightly, "Old Madam Xu, please have a seat. I invited you here for no other reason than because I think, among the Xu Family, you’re the only one who catches my eye and understands things clearly."
