After confirming the departure time for the next day, Xu Zhixuan and his family also got up to say goodbye. Xu Zhixuan separated from everyone and prepared to go to the set to ask for leave from Li Han. Fortunately, Xu Zhixuan only had a few scenes, so he was temporarily filming other people's scenes. Xu Zhixuan was given two days off to rest and comprehend. After all, as mentioned before, Li Han had always been dissatisfied with Xu Zhixuan's performance.
South Jeoluo Dao, Great Wall County, Great Wall Xu Clan. The arrival of Xu Zhixuan's family was warmly welcomed, which made Xu Zhixuan and the others very puzzled. It had to be known that in the past, their bloodline had been cold and distant. Their relationship had only been maintained with a nod and greeting.
"Big Brother, what's going on?" Xu Zhixuan had never been here again except for the year when he had just been reborn. Moreover, he had a very bad impression of this place, especially the clan. The people who bullied Xu Xian in the past were his family's children. The people who beat him were also their parents. Of course, the third uncle who was beaten up by him was also their grandfather.
Xu Zhiyong was also puzzled. When he came last year, he was also ridiculed. What was going on this time? Could it be that the people they welcomed were not him and others, but someone else? But there was only him and his group here!
"Big Uncle, do you know what's going on?"
Xu Minhao often interacted with the clan members and was more familiar with them. He was also puzzled by this sudden change. "I don't know, but they should be welcoming others, right? But I didn't hear about any overseas clan members coming back today. "The three men were stunned, and the others could only stand still.
"I say, Third Brother, you're finally here?" The eldest brother of the clan, Xu Minqi, had a red face and a big belly. He trembled as he ran in front of Xu Minhao and pulled his hand, making Xu Minhao very uncomfortable. Ever since Xu Zhixuan was beaten up by the clan members, their relationship had become very bad. Could it be that they ate the wrong medicine?
Xu Minhao broke free from Xu Minqi's hand and frowned. "Xu Minqi, what are you playing at?" It seemed that the sudden welcome ceremony made Xu Minhao very vigilant. He was afraid that the other party would have some bad ideas.
"You're talking about this. Isn't the whole clan coming? So we organized a welcome ceremony to liven things up!" Xu Minqi laughed and explained to Xu Zhixuan, but the person he was mainly waiting for was Zhixuan. "This is Zhixuan. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"
"Haha!" Xu Zhixuan sneered a few times. Back then, the one who beat him the most fiercely was this person in front of him. In order to avenge his son, he even used a thick rod to lock doors to hit him. If it wasn't for his golden finger of foresight, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
Xu Minqi was ignored by Xu Zhixuan, but he wasn't angry. He still smiled and led everyone in. Anyway, it wasn't just to welcome them, so Xu Zhixuan didn't care. However, Xu Zhixuan had a bad feeling. It seemed that something would happen today.
Xu Minqi arranged for people to bring Lim Eun-jung and the others to the inner room, and he led Xu Zhixuan and the other two men to the main hall. The clan members who came back today were gathered there to discuss the genealogy.
"This is Xu Zhixuan, right? Hey, long time no see. Do you still remember me? I'm your Third Uncle! " In the main hall, a few clan members had already returned. An old man sitting in the middle saw Xu Zhixuan and the others coming in. He stood up and walked directly to Xu Zhixuan and said, "You were light and thin in the past. Now you're amazing, but this is healthy!"
"Third Uncle (Third Uncle)!" Eldest Brother and Eldest Uncle greeted. Xu Zhixuan didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man. One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions. Moreover, their family didn't have a good relationship with the old man, especially Xu Zhixuan. Their relationship could be said to be bad.
Seeing that Xu Zhixuan didn't greet him, Xu Zhiyong was a little anxious. After all, no matter how bad their relationship was, he was still an elder. Moreover, the people sitting here were all elders of the various clans. It was inevitable that he would leave a bad impression. He pulled on Xu Zhixuan's clothes and gave Xu Zhixuan a look.
"Third Uncle, long time no see. I was immature and gave you a black eye. I'm really sorry!" Xu Zhixuan saw that both Eldest Uncle and Eldest Brother were reminding him and didn't want to be in a deadlock. However, he still didn't say anything good. His words made Third Uncle Xu Haolin's face twitch. However, he still maintained a smile and didn't get angry.
One of the Xu clansmen who lived in Seoul and had a good relationship with Eldest Uncle Xu Minhao saw that the atmosphere was awkward and quickly came forward to resolve the situation. He pulled Xu Zhiyong to sit beside him. As the younger generation, Xu Zhixuan and Xu Zhiyong naturally sat behind him. After all, the current head of their family was Xu Zhiyong.
"Zhixuan, you were a little rash just now. After all, there are so many people here. If you put him in an awkward position, it will be easy to have a conflict. You also know that he cares about his face!" Xu Zhiyong's words weren't wrong. The main reason he was beaten was because Xu Haolin wanted to avenge his grandchildren who were beaten to tears by Xu Zhixuan. He wanted to teach Xu Zhixuan a lesson. However, he didn't expect that he would be beaten by Xu Zhixuan instead. He was so angry that he directly called his sons out.
Xu Zhixuan didn't think so. His relationship with the other party was already very bad. No matter how obedient he was, he wouldn't let the other party treat him like a grandson. He retorted, "Eldest Brother, you should know how my relationship with them is. No matter how I curry favor with them, isn't it the same? It's better to be direct. Also, didn't you notice? They seem to be trying to curry favor with us. "
"Curry favor? Is there? " Xu Zhiyong hadn't noticed it yet. However, after listening to Xu Zhixuan's detailed explanation, it was true. He suddenly said, "Indeed, there is. I was wondering why it was strange today. In the past, when I came over with Eldest Uncle, there was no need to talk about people coming out to greet us. Before I sat in this position, there was always a cold and sarcastic treatment!"
Indeed, as Xu Zhixuan said, there was a problem with the other party's attitude. It was barely acceptable to say that there was a welcoming ceremony. After all, it wasn't just to welcome them. However, it was a little strange that Xu Zhixuan personally came out to greet them. One had to know that when they met in the past, they were all high and mighty, not to mention Xu Zhixuan, who had a bad relationship with them. It was a little strange that Third Great Uncle actually stood up to greet them.
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions! Let's be careful today!" Xu Zhixuan whispered in Xu Zhiyong's ear. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. He guessed that it wasn't as simple as revising the genealogy records.
The two brothers, Xu Zhixuan and Xu Zhiyong, were sitting behind Xu Minhao and whispering to each other. Xu Minjun had been watching the whole time. He was Xu Haolin's second son, and today's incident was also because of his son. However, they were the ones who had decided to do this. His son was against it, but they had already been blinded by the temptation of money and had completely forgotten about his son's warning.
That's right. His son's name was Xu Zhi Long. He was one year older than Xu Zhixuan. He was one of the people who had bullied Xu Xian when he was a baby. His current job was a security guard. Moreover, he was a security guard in Hengtai Department Store. Coincidentally, when Xu Zhixuan saved Xu Zhixuan that day, he was one of the security guards who had been beaten to the ground. At that time, he had recognized Xu Zhixuan. However, due to his fear of Xu Zhixuan when he was a child, he didn't recognize him. After all, although Xu Zhixuan and his family were relatives, their relationship was very bad.
On the day that Xu Zhixuan extorted the father and son of the Luo Family, Xu Zhi Long happened to pass by Luo Xiati's office and heard some of the contents. In summary, Xu Zhixuan extorted more than 100 million USD from the Luo Family. Moreover, it was in cash. He didn't care. Anyway, he was just a security guard. Even if the money was for Xu Zhixuan, it had nothing to do with him. When he returned home not long ago, he drank too much and told his father, Xu Minjun, about this scene.
However, he knew that Xu Zhixuan was terrifying. Of course, he stopped him. Although he didn't know why Xu Zhixuan could extort more than 100 million USD from the father and son of the Luo Family, he knew that it was after Xu Zhixuan saved Xu Xian. Would Xu Zhixuan be a simple person to make the Luo Family pay such a big price? Unfortunately, his father, who had been blinded by more than 100 million USD, didn't listen to him at all. He went directly to Xu Haolin and told him about this matter. The family began to plan how to get some money from Xu Zhixuan.
"Everyone is here. Today, the main purpose of gathering everyone is to revise the genealogy. After all, the previous one is a little yellow!" After waiting in the lobby for more than an hour, the family members came in one after another. The Great Wall Xu Family had eight branches. Now, there were only six branches left. The other two branches had daughters. It could be said that they were extinct.
Since the genealogy was to be revised, then so be it. Why did he gather everyone? Everyone was well aware of the reason. However, they were the direct descendants of the Xu Family, and they were the branches. The elders of the other five branches said in unison, "Okay, third granduncle. Just tell us what you need. We will gather it for you."
"Haha, there's no hurry. It's just a small amount. My sons will pay for it!" Third granduncle changed his usual attitude and rejected everyone's suggestion with a smile. The heads of the other branches were puzzled. In the past, they had gathered everyone to revise the ancestral land. Everyone had donated a lot of money. Why was he so easy to persuade this time? However, since they didn't need to donate money, it was better.
At this moment, Xu Zhixuan and Xu Zhiyong felt even worse. They were sure that there must be a conspiracy behind this gathering. Xu Minhao was also a little aware. He asked, "Third granduncle, since we don't need to pay for it, why did you call us here?"
As soon as Xu Minhao spoke, Third Granduncle Xu Haolin was happy. He said with a smile, "It's like this. You know that the Great Wall Xu Family has been declining generation by generation. Everyone knows why. Our strength is not as good as the other families. In the end, it's because we have no money and no power!"
"That's right!" His words attracted the approval of all the family heads. It should be known that in the past, when the Xu Family's Main Sect participated in the family meeting, they were often discriminated against. They were all said to be poor people. It should be known that the Korean people cared more about their reputation than anyone else. Of course, they would take it to heart.
"So, this time, I called everyone here. Let's learn from others' methods and raise funds. Those who have money will contribute money, and those who have strength will contribute strength. We will bring our family back to glory. What do you think?" As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent. After all, they were not rich. They were all well-off. Xu Zhixuan's family was the same in the past. If Xu Zhiyong hadn't become a senior official, they would still be living in the old two-story house.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Third Granduncle showed an understanding expression and said with a smile, "Of course, considering the difficulties of each family, if you don't have money, you can contribute. However, if you have money, for the sake of the family, you can't just focus on making money for yourself and abandon the family. Don't you think so?" As he said that, he glanced at Xu Zhixuan.
