Chapter 176 You've almost had enough, quit while you're ahead
Chu He hid her whole body behind the door frame, only sticking her head out to look inside, just in time to meet Xiao Cheng's cold eyes.
Xiao Cheng hooked his finger at her.
They exchanged glances and had a conversation across the air.
Come in.
I do not.
Xiao Cheng frowned and ordered, "Come in!"
Chu He bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in quietly.
Xiao Zhengqing snorted in his heart. She looked so powerful just now, but now she started to act like a coward in front of Xiao Cheng.
Chu He stood aside, met Xiao Cheng's cold eyes, and silently moved closer to him.
There was silence in the room.
The old man finally spoke: "I will handle this matter personally. From today on, Xiao Zian is not allowed to interfere in any affairs of the group. As for you, Xiao Zhengqing, I will reconsider your position in the group."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhengqing felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He didn't dare to refute and could only close his eyes and accept it.
Xiao Cheng put one hand on his waist, pointed at the porcelain fragments on the ground, rubbed his forehead with his fingertips, pretending to be thoughtful.
"Uncle, if I remember correctly, this Song Dynasty official kiln vase on the ground was bought by you just last month. You are really willing to spend money on it. No matter how rich the Xiao family is, they can't afford to buy something like this."
"Zhengqing, you are the elder, why are you so impulsive?"
Old Master Xiao frowned and scolded, his cane pounding the ground.
Xiao Zhengqing's face changed, and he was obviously extremely heartbroken, but he could only admit his loss in silence, which felt like a thorn in his throat.
Chu He pricked up her ears, listening carefully to every word, and admired the man even more in her heart.
This mouth is really not in vain. It is comparable to a nuclear weapon at a critical moment.
That's not all. The man lifted Chu He's arm and said to the old man, "Are you hurt?"
Xiao Zhengqing and his son both took a deep breath, and his heart and lungs trembled when he heard this.
Chu He's heart palpitated, and she whispered, "Nothing."
Then he gave Xiao Cheng a wink and said, "That's enough, quit while you're ahead, let's go!"
Old Master Xiao cleared his throat and slammed his cane to the ground with a thud.
"Okay, girl, your uncle was wrong about what happened today. You've been wronged. Grandpa promises you that there won't be a next time, otherwise I will punish you severely."
Xiao Cheng snorted, his eyes sharp as he swept over Xiao Zhengqing and his son.
"Since Grandpa has said so, we have to take the blame today. But uncle, don't blame me for not reminding you. I have a good memory. If you make me unhappy again one day, I'm afraid we will have to talk about these old things."
Xiao Zhengqing held his breath secretly, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, but he had to endure it.
Oh, you guys are at a disadvantage? He laughed in anger, roaring madly in his heart: You smashed my millions of bottles, and now you are the ones who are at a disadvantage.
Chu He felt happy to hear this, but she couldn't help but feel a little scared. After all, if she made enemies with malicious people, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't retaliate in the future. It was better to avoid provoking them if possible.
He gently pulled the corner of Xiao Cheng's clothes, indicating that he could end it, but he never expected that he would get a roll of the eyes from him in return.
Fortunately, Xiao Cheng should also know the principle that too much is as bad as too little. He threw down three words expressionlessly, grabbed Chu He's hand and walked out the door.
"I'm leaving."
Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and gave Mr. Xiao a look.
Her thin lips twitched slightly: "Grandpa, please don't be partial."
He spoke slowly and meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao frowned slightly, raised his hand and pushed the door open, signaling Xiao Cheng to go first.
Xiao Zhengqing's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to purple. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and said nothing. He stood there motionless as if he had been struck by lightning.
After saying that, Xiao Cheng pulled Chu He and walked straight out of the main room.
The group of black-clad men outside the door also quickly and orderly followed Xiao Cheng and evacuated the west courtyard.
