Chapter 210 - Confirm in Person (2/2)

Though Chu Mochen tried several times to push her away, he changed his mind at the very last second before he could push her away.

His hand supported her by the back of her head. He couldn’t help deepening the feeling of that kiss.

Song Yunxuan opened her eyes slightly when he was addicted to this unexpected kiss.

At the corner of her eyes, there was only a flash of light.

If the issues of Xiao Family came to an end, there would be less trouble in the future.

Soon, I would come back to Yuncheng.

And at that time, all of those people who owed me would suffer the retribution.

…

There was a smell of incense that would soothe the nerves in the old house of Elder Xiao.

The fragrance lightly diffused in the air.

The elder of Xiao Family was sitting on an old-fas.h.i.+oned wooden armchair placed in the main hall. Behind that armchair was a large piece of jade. It was priceless.

The cane inlaid with nine dragons in his hand stood uprightly on the ground.

Xiao Luo knelt on the soft carpet in the middle of the main hall.

By his side, stood Xiao Yu, who was unwilling to kneel. “Daddy, I don’t know how you have educated Xiao Luo. Did you see what he did today?”

The bleared eyes of Xiao Jiancheng raising slowly chilled Xiao Liang to the bone. “I saw what he did today, A Liang. So now, are you educating me on how to behave properly?”

His words seemed to be soft, powerless, and neither light nor harsh.

However, it made Xiao Yu feel nervous.

“No, Daddy. I didn’t mean it.”

“Kneel down if you didn’t mean it.”

Xiao Liang by his side had knelt down on the carpet obediently. But Xiao Yu refused to do so. “Daddy, but…”

“Kneel down.”

His state of illness was unstable, and his doctor warned him not to get angry.

He controlled his temper all the time.

But Xiao Yu couldn’t realize it at all.

Xiao Liang looked at Xiao Yu worriedly and said in a low voice, “Second brother, don’t provoke Daddy.”

With Xiao Liang’s persuasion, Xiao Yu knelt down reluctantly.

Xiao Family had strict rules.

But over the years, the two brothers, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang, hadn’t knelt for a long time.

When he knelt down, Xiao Yu was still angry at Xiao Luo who was speechless. “Daddy, it was supposed to be a happy day today. I planned to introduce A Luo to the public above board and announce that he is Little Childe of Xiao Family in front of so many people. But, Daddy, you know what? He turned around and made a false countercharge against us.”

Xiao Liang echoed appropriately, “Daddy, you watched us grow up since childhood. You know better than anyone else what kind of people we are. Whatever mistakes we make, we will not frame you.”

Xiao Jiancheng sat on the old-fas.h.i.+oned wooden armchair and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that their father didn’t talk anymore, Xiao Yu pointed at Xiao Luo and started to complain, “Xiao Luo is our eldest brother’s son. A Liang and I did everything for his sake. However, Daddy, did you see how he treated his two uncles now?”

Xiao Luo just kept kneeling down and stubbornly straightened his back without any retorts or words.

Xiao Jiancheng firmly grasped the handle of his cane. “A Luo, what’s your explanation?”

Xiao Luo looked at Xiao Jiancheng. “Grandpa, I have no explanation. Because I didn’t frame them.”

“You didn’t frame them?”

Xiao Jiancheng opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Luo sternly. It seemed that he wanted to pierce Xiao Luo with his sight.

Xiao Luo’s body got stiff for a short while. Under such a stare of his grandpa, he felt that he was nervous, and his body was tense all over.

Yes, he framed Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang.

But that was all.

They didn’t frame him, but they adopted a much more direct and spiffier way than framing him up.

They wanted to kill him.

If on New Year, Yunxuan, Xiao Dao, Will, and others hadn’t come to rescue him, would he have been alive and stood here still?

Perhaps, he might have been a cold corpse already.

When thinking of this, his eyes became gloomy and firm.

“Grandpa, I didn’t frame them.”

“You are lying!” Xiao Yu yelled out angrily.

Xiao Liang also stared at him. “You are so young, yet so malicious. Your second uncle and I really underestimated you.”

Xiao Luo looked at Xiao Jiancheng. “Grandpa, I wouldn’t have said it rashly without any evidence. The mother and daughter of the Huo family have testified Second Uncle and Third Uncle in person.”

Xiao Jiancheng’s eyes darkened. “For sure?”

Xiao Luo felt a little guilty in his mind, but he didn’t show it on his face at all. “Yes, Grandpa.”

Xiao Jiancheng stared at Xiao Luo. He squinted, but his eyes were locked at Xiao Luo all the while.

It seemed that he wanted to find some flaws from Xiao Luo’s eyes.

However, Xiao Luo stared at Xiao Jiancheng straightly. His eyes were burning. He was calm and was not uneasy or panic at all.

However, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang next to them looked back and forth between Xiao Luo and Xiao Jiancheng since their father didn’t make any judgment.

Xiao Jiancheng stared at Xiao Luo’s burning eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.

He was a little depressed, but he couldn’t tell whether it was regret or wrath and disgust.

He gazed at Xiao Luo for a long time like this. An ancient clock in the room struck ten more times.

Then Xiao Jiancheng finally got up from the old-fas.h.i.+oned wooden armchair. “You said that the mother and daughter of the Huo family were eyewitnesses, and I will go and confirm it in person.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang both showed a sly smile.

No one had ever tricked Xiao Jiancheng in front of him.

Xiao Luo’s trick would be finished.
