In fact, they were old acquaintances.
Moreover, because of Xiu, the relationship between her and Dongfang Xu could be regarded as harmonious.
But because of Xiu's eyes, Lin Mengya always felt guilty when facing the Dongfang Family.
She could push all the blame onto Wanyan Lie and his men.
But Xiaoyu was her younger brother. She didn't educate and take good care of him, so she hurt his daughter.
So in any case, she would not shirk the responsibility.
No matter what mistakes Xiaoyu had made, as his sister, Lin Mengya should try her best to make it up to him.
"Mr. Dongfang, I had no choice but to offend your Fifth Master."
Lin Mengya respected this brave and resourceful Mr. Dongfang very much, so she was very modest.
Dongfang Xu looked a little helpless. He waved his hand and said,
"I know. It's all my brother's fault. He made you see a joke. I've ordered people to pack all the medicinal materials you need. Just take it as a small gift of apology. "
Speaking of his younger brother, even Dongfang Xu, who was broad-minded, really felt a little upset.
Fortunately, he met this girl today. If it were someone else, he would have turned the world upside down and disturbed people.
Thinking of this medicine store, which was run by generations of talents, now was almost destroyed by that bastard, how could he not feel upset?
"Mr. Dongfang, you're too polite. Xiu and I are like sisters, so in any case, I can't stand by. But I don't know whether I should say it or not. "
Lin Mengya looked at Dongfang Xu, who seemed to understand it.
"Do you think I don't know what you want to say? But … Xiu has a hard life! "
In fact, Lin Mengya wanted to say that Xiu was still young, and her reputation and means in the family were far from enough to be independent.
Now Lin Mengya also knew that this medicine store made a lot of money every day.
Moreover, since there was a medicine store selling, there must be a team to collect medicinal materials.
In this way, whether it was the source of goods, transportation, or management and sales, Xiu, as the person in charge, had to participate in it.
Selling medicinal materials was the foundation of the Dongfang Family's wealth.
How could she, a little girl, control it?
This was probably one of the reasons why Dongfang Xu was eager to let Xiu and Xiaoyu get engaged.
After all, it was easier for people to accept someone with a royal background.
Sigh, it's a pity that my little rascal has eyes but doesn't recognize the golden inlaid jade!
Ah Xiu was such a good girl. Not only was she beautiful and intelligent, but she was also pure and smart, which was hard to come by. She even had a mountain of gold as her dowry.
In any case, she was not a man. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Xiaoyu.
Of course, she could only lament in her heart about this matter.
"Xiu is indeed a rare girl. However, Mr. Dongfang, haste makes waste. You are now in the prime of your life, there is no need to be so anxious. With Xiu's intelligence, I believe that she will be able to take on heavy responsibilities in a few years. "
Lin Mengya's words were not entirely flattering or comforting.
A simple-minded person would usually learn things faster.
Actually, A'xiu was the same as Xiao Yu, completely untainted by the mud.
That was why they were able to see the truth of the matter as bystanders.
He was afraid that in a few years, Xiu would become the new generation of the Dongfang family's strong woman.
At that time, who would dare to look down on her?
"Well, thank you for your kind words. But please don't blame me for one thing, Miss. If you feel wronged, then all the blame will be on me. Come on, invite Miss He Lan to the Dongfang family. "
As soon as he finished speaking, many people filed in.
In the blink of an eye, the spacious fourth floor was filled with many strong men with sharp eyes.
They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but all of them were calm. At first glance, one could tell that they were masters.
Baisu nervously stood in front of Lin Mengya and stared coldly at Dongfang Xu, who was sitting opposite her.
"Baisu, take the things back first. It's okay. Mr. Dongfang just invited me over to have a seat. He will never hurt me."
Compared with Baisu's nervousness, Lin Mengya seemed much calmer.
Nonsense, she couldn't be calm.
Baisu was indeed a master, but she could fight against ten people alone. What about the rest?
Moreover, Dongfang Xu didn't seem to want to kill her. Otherwise, why would he say so much?
The only thing he could do now was to see what the other party wanted to do.
"Yes, please believe me. I really just want to invite Miss He Lan to stay in my mansion for a few days. Dongfang Xu promises with his family that he will never hurt Miss He Lan. "
He probably felt that it was a little inappropriate to kidnap her like this.
Although Dongfang Xu's attitude was firm, his tone was also very sincere.
Baisu didn't believe him. But when she saw that her Miss was not afraid at all, she reluctantly believed Dongfang Xu's words.
"Alright, then I'll believe you. But I must say that my Miss is noble. If you dare to hurt her even a little bit, I will definitely kill you! "
Even in the situation where she was outnumbered, Baisu's voice was still cold, arrogant and handsome.
Lin Mengya nodded at her. After warning the people around reluctantly, Baisu walked backward out of the door of the fourth floor.
Seeing Baisu disappear from her sight, Lin Mengya finally put down her careless look.
How could she not be afraid? But if she was too timid in front of Baisu, that girl would never rest assured about her.
Taking a sip of the slightly cold tea in front of her, Lin Mengya just glanced at Dongfang Xu indifferently.
"Now my people are gone, Mr. Dongfang can rest assured. I don't think you need so many people to guard me, right? "
So many people looked at her, even a stone statue would not be able to stand it.
Dongfang Xu's old face was a little bitter. Presumably, even he himself did not expect that one day he would treat a weak girl like this.
"All of you go down. You must treat her politely, and never neglect her!"
Lin Mengya ordered in a low voice. After all the people left the fourth floor, Lin Mengya put down the teacup in her hand.
"No matter what you mean by forcing me to stay, there is one thing I must say."
Looking at Dongfang Xu, Lin Mengya's eyes were sharp and straightforward.
"In public or in private, you and I are friends, not enemies. I believe you also know that it is not a good choice to be enemies with me. If it is your own idea, then I will just go to a friend's house and stay for a few days. If you are instigated by others, then you have to think twice. "
Lin Mengya's words were accurate and ruthless.
Yes, now the situation of the Dongfang Family was special, even if she was kidnapped, it was not a difficult thing to understand.
But if she was instigated by others and used the Dongfang Family to deal with her, it would be a different matter.
"Don't worry, I just want you to be a guest at home for a few days. I will never embarrass you. And although I have made such a bad plan, I am not that kind of unbearable person. Please don't worry, Miss. "
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mengya nodded.
To be honest, both Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Xiu, uncle and nephew, were upright people.
Such people could be trusted.
Lin Mengya got up and followed Dongfang Xu downstairs step by step.
At this time, because of the matter of the Fifth Lord, most of the guests in the hall had left.
The rest were either new arrivals or old customers who knew the ins and outs of the matter.
The waiters were busy apologizing to the frightened guests. It was estimated that they would give a suitable discount to compensate those customers.
Lin Mengya glanced at the back hall where she had just confronted the Fifth Lord, and a light flashed across her eyes.
It was good to go there. Anyway, she still needed to confirm something with Dongfang Xu.
A small sedan for two had been prepared outside. Lin Mengya got into the sedan without hesitation.
In fact, she didn't need to worry about how long Dongfang Xu could lock her up. She believed that Baisu would bring the news to that person soon.
When that person came, Dongfang Xu would definitely hand her over obediently.
Her time was so precious that she couldn't afford to waste it.
She crossed the street and walked through the alley.
Finally, she stopped in front of a relatively prominent mansion in the Outer King City. A steward had already opened the curtain of the sedan and politely invited Lin Mengya down.
"Is this Mr. Dongfang's home?"
The house in front of her was a very standard ancient mansion.
As soon as the door was opened, she saw the carved beams and painted rafters inside, which were very exquisite.
"Yes, young lady, please come in."
The steward was also shrewd, but he didn't dare to offend Lin Mengya at all.
However, Lin Mengya's mood wouldn't be much better because of this. Anyway, she was threatened today. It was really hard for her to be in a good mood.
If she wanted to do something, she would feel happy no matter how tired and bitter it was.
But if she was threatened, she would only feel restrained even if she slept in a golden house and ate dragon liver and phoenix gall every day.
"Well, thank you."
Lin Mengya nodded, and then followed the steward into the yard with a straight face.
It was a spacious courtyard, which was obviously used to receive guests.
Along the corridors on both sides, Lin Mengya followed the steward into the backyard, and then went around the winding path until they reached the depths of the inner house.
Such a big house, but there were few people.
As far as Lin Mengya could see, there seemed to be no women in Dongfang Xu's house.
Could it be that this big shot, who could summon wind and rain in the business circle, hadn't married yet?
"I don't know if the madam in the house is here. Since I'm a guest, I have to go and greet her. In case she misunderstands and causes trouble for you, sir. "
Lin Mengya made a good excuse. The steward also hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly,
