A young man in sportswear sat on a gold-threaded Zhennan chair. A well-behaved girl picked up the teapot with her slender hands and poured a cup of fragrant tea.
In front of them, the raindrops on the eaves fell like a veil. The transparent raindrops splashed on the surface of the water and bloomed like a plain flower.
An adult woman standing quietly behind them frowned and looked at the hazy rain in the distance. No one knew what she was thinking.
However, at this time, a rush of footsteps sounded and a group of people appeared in their line of sight. In front of them were a few men and a woman in a beautiful qipao. Behind them were bodyguards with umbrellas.
The three people at the door were Zhuo Bufan, Lian Shijian, and Lian Lian.
"Big Brother and the others are back." Lian Lian clenched her fists and looked a little uneasy. She secretly glanced at Zhuo Bufan and was speechless when she saw that he was still calmly drinking tea.
"Who hurt my son?" The woman in the red cheongsam walked over and her eyes fell directly on Zhuo Bufan with a kind of fierceness.
Zhuo Bufan slowly put down the teacup and didn't say anything.
Lian Shijian looked at those people and called out, "Grandfather, Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Second Mother … Cousin Yushan …"
"You still have the face to come back. You brought a wild man back and hurt your Brother Xun. You really have the face." He Meili coldly snorted, her eyes still fixed on Zhuo Bufan.
At this time, a middle-aged man standing next to her coughed lightly. His face was a little sick. He looked at Lian Shijian and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk inside."
The group walked into the house and sat down. He Meili stared at Zhuo Bufan and said, "You are Shi Jian's classmate. You were the one who hurt Xun 'er?"
"Second Mother, it's not what you think. Brother Xun scolded me first and Zhuo Gongzi couldn't help but hit him. In the end, he accidentally hurt Brother Xun." Lian Shijian tried his best to defend himself. His eyes were red.
Xu Meili coldly crossed her arms and glanced at him, "He is your boyfriend. Just because Xun 'er said a few words to you, your boyfriend can hit someone?"
"It's not like that. Zhuo Gongzi isn't my boyfriend. He hit Brother Xun because it was my fault. Second Mother, Father is sorry." The rims of Lian Shijian's eyes reddened as he tried to hold back the tears that almost couldn't be contained. His small face displayed a stubborn beauty.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head gently and sighed in his heart, "This girl is really as innocent as a piece of white paper. Someone has clearly sent someone to kill her, but now she still lowers her head and admits her mistake. If she were in the cruel Cultivation World, she would have died countless times."
"No matter what, you hurt my son, you have to pay him back. Arrest him." Xu Meili fiercely said. She simply ignored Lian Shijian's pleading. She was still puzzled in her heart. She had clearly asked the white-faced gentleman to kill Lian Shijian. How could this girl come back alive?
Several bodyguards in the hall were ready to take action. At this time, Duke Kang, who was standing next to an old man with a dragon-head cane, bent down and whispered a few words in the old man's ear. The old man's face changed slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.
"Stop," the old man suddenly said, and the other bodyguards were stunned.
This old man was the most senior member of the Lian Family. His name was Lian Xipo. In the 1970s, he made a living in Hudu and other places. He brought a sum of capital back to his hometown in Zhongzhou to start a business and accumulate a family business. It could be regarded as one of the top 10 families in the entire Zhongzhou. He was the one who founded it.
Lian Xipo was Lian Shijian's grandfather. He raised his eyelids and gently breathed out. "Don't be reckless, Meili."
Xu Meili glanced at the old man in surprise. She frowned and said, "Sir, this guy hurt your precious grandson. Are you going to let him go?"
"Women shouldn't interrupt when men are talking." Lian Xipo glared at her. Xu Meili had to step aside sullenly.
He had heard Duke Kang's words just now. This ordinary-looking young man in front of him had actually defeated him. He was at least a master who had reached the second level of Covert Power. Moreover, he was so young. Maybe he was the son of a martial arts family. He couldn't afford to offend him.
Moreover, in the face of pressure from so many people, Zhuo Bufan still behaved calmly. It turned out that she was confident. However, in the entire Zhe Province, he didn't seem to have heard of any martial arts family with the surname Zhuo.
Lian Xipo stroked his long white beard. His eyes fell on Zhuo Bufan. "Zhuo, I heard from Duke Kang that your martial arts are good. I wonder which martial arts family your family is from, and who is your master?"
"I learned martial arts on my own. I'm not from any martial arts family," Zhuo Bufan said indifferently.
Lian Xipo was slightly stunned. Self-taught? It seemed that she didn't want to tell the truth. He smiled and said, "I think the matter between you and Xun was just a misunderstanding. Since you are Shi Jian's classmate, the Lian family will not pursue it."
Zhuo Bufan didn't keep the topic on Lian Xun. He had already injected a stream of Genuine Qi into Lian Xun's body. As long as he performed the incantation, he could kill Lian Xun within 500 meters without anyone noticing.
"I came back with Shi Jian this time. I heard that the family is preparing to select the next successor. Is that true?" Zhuo Bufan raised his head. His eyes that were as dark as the night flickered with a light.
Lian Xipo and Lian Ju, who was sitting next to him, frowned at the same time. Lian Ju had not said a word since he entered the room. His face was a little sallow, and it was obvious that he was suffering from a chronic illness. Zhuo Bufan had long noticed that the vitality in his body was constantly draining away. It was estimated that he would not live for more than three months.
"This is the Lian family's business. Although you are Shi Jian's classmate, don't you think you're being too nosy?" Lian Ju snorted coldly. After saying that, he started coughing violently.
Xu Meili ran over with a fake expression and patted her husband's back. "Hey, why are you so angry? We can just chase this kind of person out. He's an eyesore."
When Lian Shijian heard what Zhuo Bufan said, a trace of panic flashed across his little face. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, Dad, I didn't come back to fight for the family's inheritance. I just heard that you were sick and wanted to come back to see you …"
"Now that you've seen enough, you can leave." Lian Ju was not moved at all. His expression was as cold as a rock that had been left on a snowy mountain.
When he saw his attitude towards Lian Shijian, Zhuo Bufan's heart skipped a beat. He clenched his fists so hard that he did not feel any pain even when his nails dug into his palms.
