240 Fight Among Clans (1/2)

It was the first time that Xu Dongkui had organized a family feast since recovering from his serious illness. Mo Wen had become a distinguished guest. In the villa's dining room, there was a whole table filled with a sumptuous banquet while servants bustled around at all times.

Nobody noticed that Xu Ling had discreetly come in to stand by her older sister, Xu Qianqian's, side. She was pretty, had a cute look, and appeared to be a little afraid of Xu Dongkui. However, Mo Wen was meticulous enough to notice that this young girl was not afraid of Xu Dongkui, but rather Mrs. Xu, who was by his side.

”Miracle Physician Mo, it is the honor of the Xu Clan to be able to invite you to our family feast today. Although it is not some five star hotel, the chefs that are cooking are not any worse than the top chefs of five star hotels. Help yourself!” Xu Dongkui smiled and gestured, inviting Mo Wen to eat.

Xu Dongkui had seemingly realized that there were a couple of people missing in the villa, and he then furrowed his brows as he said, ”Xiaoqian, go and get your third and fourth siblings to come down. Miracle Physician Mo has already arrived, and yet they are still upstairs. It's too absurd.”

He had six children altogether, three sons and three daughters. Other than his eldest son, who had already passed on, he had called everyone to be present for the family feast today.

Under Xu Dongkui's attentiveness, Mo Wen also sat at the head of the table without formalities. When he had just taken a seat, two young people walked down the stairs. One was a boy and the other was a girl. They were about 24 or 25 years old and looked rather attractive. They had inherited Xu Dongkui's good genes.

The two of them acknowledged Xu Dngkui before quietly walking into the dining room with their heads lowered. They chose corner seats at the table.

”That is my third sister, Xu Xiaopei. She was married off two years ago, and she has specially returned today for the family feast.”

Xu Qianqian sat down beside Mo Wen and discreetly introduced her to him.

Upon hearing that, Mo Wen nodded. Since it is a family feast, why is Xu Xiaopei's husband not around? Just what is the situation?

”Her husband died in an accident three months ago. At that time, my father was still lying on the bed in a comatose state, so he does not know about it.”

Xu Qianqian sighed as she said this, seemingly having sensed Mo Wen's curiosity. The Xu Clan was enveloped in an unbreakable curse. Misfortune constantly befell their clan. She did not even know if she would just die suddenly one day by accident.

Mo Wen nodded silently and did not say a word.

”That is my fourth brother, Xu Deye. He has not yet gotten married. He idles around doing nothing and only spends the entire day in his room playing games.”

When introducing her fourth brother, Xu Qianqian furrowed her brows, as if a little disappointed in his lack of effort and drive.

”Why isn't Guangliang back yet? I think I told him before that I have invited Miracle Physician Mo over, and he has to come back tonight for dinner?”

When most of the people had taken their seats, Xu Dongkui noticed that they were missing one person. He inevitably started to furrow his brows.

The Guangliang that he was talking about was naturally Xu Qianqian's second brother, the son of the current Mrs. Xu.

”Haven't you been implementing reforms recently? He is still busy with things in the company, so he will likely be back soon.”

Mrs. Xu smiled as she poured a glass of alcohol for Xu Dongkui. There was tenderness and charm in her voice.

”Oh.” Xu Dongkui nodded. Nobody knew why, but his expression suddenly turned colder.

”Miracle Physician Mo, let's start. Don't care about him. Here's to you…”

Xu Dongkui had yet to finish saying what he wanted and had only just lifted his glass of alcohol. He was just beginning to stand up when a tall and thin figure walked into the villa, heading straight for the dining room.

The youth looked rather charming. His face appeared quite graceful and restrained, and there was a hint of coldness in his body language.

This person was none other than Xu Qianqian's second brother, Xu Guangliang.

”Father, I've already said that you shouldn't be drinking, since your body has yet to recover. Why are you not listening again?”

The youth took a few steps to Xu Dongkui and took away the glass of alcohol in one grab, before pouring the alcohol onto the ground.

”You…”

Xu Dongkui glared at Xu Guangliang. On the surface, his son appeared to be doing so for the good of his health. However, since when had he become so daring and impudent? Moreover, that glass of alcohol was dedicated to Mo Wen. In the presence of a guest, he was so embarrassed that he did not even know where to hide his face.

”Dongkui, Guangliang just has your best interests at heart.”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly stepped up to mediate the dispute. She grabbed Xu Dongkui's arm to get him to sit down, and her gaze subconsciously drifted to her son. There was a look of suspicion in her eyes. As his birth mother, she could naturally sense that there was something not right about her child.

”Father, I want to discuss something with you.” Xu Guangliang smiled gracefully with restraint. He did not seem to care about Xu Dongkui's expression at all. He casually pulled up a chair to sit by Xu Dongkui's side and poured himself a glass of alcohol, finishing it in a single gulp.

”What is it?” Xu Dongkui said darkly.

Xu Guangliang's mouth curled upwards as he said cynically, ”I think you have aged. Both your mindset and physical condition can no longer keep up with the current tempo of society. Why not just hand over the group to me. You can just stay at home and enjoy your days.”

”Hand it over to you?”
