Early in the morning, someone arrived in front of the Ling House and handed over a visiting card.
Duke Ling's sworn brother, the head of the world's number one conglomerate, Xiao family, Xiao FengHan, would be visiting Lin Zhan at noon today.
Everyone in the Ling House was mobilized. A visit from the head of the world's number one conglomerate, they couldn't help but take it seriously. The chefs of the Ling House had already gone out personally to purchase rare delicacies, preparing to show off their skills at noon.
Duke Ling's adopted son, Ling Kong, was jumping up and down, supervising and preparing everywhere. At the same time, he instructed his son, Ling Zhen, to leave a good impression on the head of the Xiao family when he met him! For such a person, as long as he praised you, you would benefit from it for the rest of your life!
In Duke Ling's study. Ling Zhan was holding onto the name card and cursing without a trace of elegance! He was also extremely puzzled. When did this old fox Xiao ever use a visiting card when he came to my place? When did he not barge in directly? Why was he so serious today?
This sudden invitation had a profound meaning behind it, and Ling Zhan couldn't help but ponder over it. Could it be that this guy had gone crazy? Duke Ling thought to himself.
No matter what, he still had a problem with him, and it seemed like it wasn't a small problem. This made Lin Zhan even more puzzled. When did he offend this guy?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Zhan couldn't figure it out. He decided that when that old fox Xiao came, he would definitely give him a good scolding! So what if he was rich?
The sun slowly rose into the sky. In the sky, there was no wind and no clouds. It was a good day. The warm sunlight seemed to have driven away the bone-chilling cold of winter, and there was actually a feeling of spring blooming …
Noon was about to arrive.
A carriage covered by a black curtain. On the black curtain, there was a golden flower in full bloom! Under the warm sunlight, the horse came from the end of the street at a leisurely pace. The sound of the horse's hooves was crisp and pleasant to the ears. They tapped on the ground, and the walls on both sides faintly echoed.
In front of the carriage, there were four black-clothed men in short robes with long swords hanging from their waists. Their gazes were cold as they led the way. On both sides of the carriage, there were also two black-clothed men closely following the carriage. Behind the carriage, there were eight black-clothed men in two rows, following quietly.
Although the carriage was moving slowly, the guards who were looking at the entrance of the Ling House suddenly felt a great pressure! For a moment, it seemed as if the surrounding air had become sticky, making it difficult to breathe. An awe-inspiring aura emanated from the black draped carriage.
The carriage gradually came to a stop. A black-clothed man walked to the door of the carriage and knelt down on one knee with one hand on the ground. Another black-clothed man took a step forward and opened the curtain.
A foot wearing a black cloth boot slowly stepped out, stepping on the back of the black-clothed man from before. Following that, an old man with slightly white hair walked out of the carriage. His face was thin, and his body was thin. His eyes shone brightly, and his spirit was hale and hearty. Following that, there was a crisp laughter. A little girl in a light green coat jumped down, but was caught in the arms of the old man in mid-air.
There was already a servant who had rushed to inform Old Master Lin Zhan. Under the lead of Old Master Ling, a large group of people came out to welcome them with smiles on their faces.
That old man was naturally the head of the Xiao family, Xiao FengHan. Seeing his sworn brother coming over with large strides, with a face full of joy of reunion after a long separation, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he could only forcefully suppress it. Seeing his sworn brother's almost completely white hair and the undisguised smile on his face, Xiao FengHan's heart was filled with warmth. Then, he thought about how the two of them had once fought together, bathed in blood on the battlefield, and lived and died together. His thoughts churned. He couldn't help but feel that his actions today were a little too much. Sigh, forget it. That matter, there's no harm in finding another opportunity in the future. The two brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, so there's no need to spoil the mood.
After Xiao FengHan arrived in the capital, he immediately sent people to gather information on the Ling family's young master, Ling Tian. The results of the investigation made Xiao FengHan so angry that he was about to die! The more he looked, the angrier he became. Although the child was still young, he had been watching him since he was young. If this continued, the Ling family would be ruined by this brat! How could Xiao FengHan dare to sacrifice his granddaughter's happiness?
In a moment of anger, he directly sent people to the Ling family to pay a visit! The meaning of a special visit was similar to a letter of credence between countries, expressing the meaning of official business. With Xiao FengHan's status, it was obvious that he wanted the Ling family's head, Lin Zhan, to personally receive them. Xiao FengHan knew that this would definitely make Lin Zhan unhappy, and even fly into a rage. However, for the sake of the family and his granddaughter's happiness, Xiao FengHan felt that he had no other choice.
Lin Zhan laughed heartily and welcomed him, giving him a big hug. At this moment, Xiao FengHan's eyes flashed with sincerity, and he also welcomed him with open arms. The two old comrades, good brothers, who had been through life and death together, finally met again after five years!
Lin Zhan hugged Xiao FengHan and patted his back vigorously, as if he was extremely happy. However, at a place where no one could see, Lin Zhan whispered in Xiao FengHan's ear, "Xiao FengHan, you son of a bitch! Today, if you don't explain clearly to me about the visit, I and your sister-in-law will skin you alive! "
Xiao FengHan laughed bitterly in his heart! He knew that this old man would not be able to take it. As expected, trouble still came. He whispered, "We'll talk later."
Under the warm welcome of the Ling family, the Xiao family entered the Ling House arm in arm. Old Lady Ling led a group of family members to welcome them, but her face was as cold as ice.
Xiao FengHan took a step forward and bowed deeply, "How could this little brother dare to trouble sister-in-law to personally welcome me? I'm extremely terrified. "
Old Lady Ling did not even bat an eyelid, and bowed solemnly, "The head of the world's number one conglomerate, the Xiao family, has graced our humble dwelling with your presence. This old lady will lead the family members to welcome the head of the Xiao family."
Ugh!
Xiao FengHan was extremely embarrassed. He and this sister-in-law of his were acquaintances. When they were young, the three of them had traveled the world together. Xiao FengHan was not afraid of anything, but he respected this sister-in-law of his. He remembered that one time when Xiao FengHan was seriously injured, it was this sister-in-law who saved him from an army of thousands. She took care of him for seven days and seven nights without caring for him, pulling him back from the brink of death. In Xiao FengHan's heart, Lin Zhan and his wife held a considerable weight! At this moment, seeing his sister-in-law's cold and business-like face, he could not help but feel his face heat up, and his heart could not help but feel somewhat at a loss.
He looked at Lin Zhan for help, only to see that Lin Zhan's mouth had a trace of a mischievous smile, and he slowly raised his head … as if there was something fun in the sky.
What a joke, you were the one who sent the visit, and now you want this old man to clean up after you caused trouble? How could there be such an easy thing in the world?
Xiao FengHan secretly gritted his teeth, and his old face flushed red. Helpless, he could only pretend to be ignorant, "Ugh … why is sister-in-law like this? Could it be that this little brother has done something wrong to offend sister-in-law? Ugh, sister-in-law, please tell me clearly, this little brother will definitely correct it, definitely correct it. "
Old Lady Ling coldly said, "You don't deserve that! Xiao family is rich and imposing, and sent the visit card to the Ling House. The Ling House is a small family, how could you not do your best to welcome them? What is wrong with the head of the Xiao family? The ones who are lacking in manners are this old lady and the Ling family! "
Xiao FengHan was furious, and he turned to his black-clothed guards, roaring, "Which bastard sent the visit card? Stand out for me! "As he roared, his eyes rapidly blinked.
The black-clothed guards looked at each other in dismay. This was strange, if you did not say anything, who would dare to send the visit card with your name? Wasn't that the same as a cat licking the tiger's nose, seeking death?
After being stunned for a while, one of the black-clothed guards came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, "This subordinate has not handled the matter well, please punish me!"
Xiao FengHan kicked him, causing him to somersault, and scolded, "Bastard! Does this old man need a visit card to come to the Ling House? You can't do anything right! Go back and receive a hundred lashes from the Disciplinary Hall! What a disgraceful and conspicuous piece of trash! "The guard repeatedly agreed and retreated.
After Xiao FengHan roared, he turned around, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you see, this little brother really did not know about this matter."
Old Lady Ling fiercely curled her lips, and rolled her eyes. It was obvious that something fishy was going on, and it would be strange if Old Lady Ling did not see through it.
On the side, Ling Xiao saw that it was about time, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the situation, "Mother, it seems that Uncle Xiao really did not know about this matter, and it was his subordinate who did not know about the relationship between our two families, and made the decision without permission. It was a misunderstanding."
Xiao FengHan seized the opportunity, and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, it was a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, hehehe …" He looked at Ling Xiao gratefully, and then glared fiercely at Lin Zhan.
Old Lady Ling made an 'oh' sound, and said, "So it was a misunderstanding …"
Xiao FengHan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Yes, yes, it was a misunderstanding, hehehehe." His voice was hoarse, like an old hen whose neck was stuck.
Old Lady Ling immediately became affectionate, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then it's fine. Aiyo, this flower-like little girl is Xue 'er, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk … Look at this little face, how did you grow up to be so pretty? Come, come, come to Granny, Granny has something good for you. En, good girl, tsk! "She kissed the little girl's face. Then, she picked her up, and left with the rest of the family.
Xiao FengHan heaved a sigh of relief, he finally got through this! From afar, Old Lady Ling's voice could be heard, "Ling Xiao, later give your Uncle Xiao a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, I saw that he was quite tired from blinking his eyes just now …"
Xiao FengHan sweated profusely!
