At the Xu residence, Old Master Xu was feeding the fish in the living room when the butler hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words into Old Master Xu's ear. Old Master Xu's expression changed drastically and he immediately gathered the entire family for an emergency meeting.
Xu Yuncong, who was watching TV at the side, did not know what was going on. He turned around and happened to meet Great Grandfather's eyes.
The little fellow was slightly stunned and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
What was wrong with Great Grandfather? Everything was fine, so why did he look like he wanted to beat him up?
Xu Yuncong was confused, but Old Master Xu suddenly flew into a rage.
"Look, look, look, all you know is to watch TV. You stinking brat, can't you be more decent!
"Other people's children can already get the first prize in the Youth Science and Technology Competition at the age of three. You idiot, you only know how to watch these retarded cartoons!
"Are you done with your homework? You can't beat others in the science and technology competition, and your studies are a mess. How could our Xu family have a child like you! "
The more Old Master Xu spoke, the angrier he became. He simply grabbed the feather duster in the house and stormed over in a rage.
Xu Yuncong immediately jumped up and jumped up and down in the house. He felt wronged by Great Grandfather's sudden rage. He had only watched TV for a while, why was he getting beaten up?
Xu Yuncong cried out in grievance, wailing and howling in the house. Hearing this, Old Master Xu became even more furious. He chased after Xu Yuncong even more fiercely, beating up the brat whenever he caught him.
Everyone in the Xu family rushed over after receiving Old Master Xu's summons. When they entered the house, they saw Old Master Xu beating Xu Yuncong. Everyone hurriedly went up to stop him. Xu Ruhui pulled her nephew behind her and looked at Old Master Xu. "Grandfather, what's going on?"
Old Master Xu was so angry that he pressed his hand against his chest and scolded, "What's going on? Ask this brat what he did!"
Xu Yuncong shook his head furiously. "Auntie, I didn't do anything. The housekeeper came in and said a few words to Grandfather. I just turned around and Grandfather started scolding me. He wasn't satisfied with the scolding, so he even wanted to hit me. I really didn't do anything, I was just watching TV …"
He felt an indescribable grievance in his heart.
As Xu Ruhui listened, she was also confused.
Xu Yongsheng hurried over to help Old Master Xu calm down. "Dad, what's going on? Why are you getting angry at Yuncong for no reason? It'll be bad if you hurt your health. "
"You still have the cheek to talk? You'll have to eat the whip too!" Old Master Xu scolded.
Xu Yongsheng frowned. It was embarrassing for Old Master Xu to say that in front of so many juniors.
"Dad, can't you just say what's going on?"
Old Master Xu closed his eyes and said angrily, "Did you know? Today, the Su family's granddaughter-in-law brought the two children to a gathering with the children in the capital. The Huo family was also invited. Even the children from the smaller families went. Only our Xu family didn't receive any news! "
"This is all your fault!"
"What? The Su family is too much! The Huo family went to this kind of gathering, and so did the other families. It's not like we don't have children! "Xu Yongsheng said with a frown.
"It's all your fault for offending Su Chen!" Old Master Xu said angrily.
Xu Ruhui advised, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Things have already come to this. There's no point in being angry. Don't hurt your health."
Old Master Xu glanced at his granddaughter and took a few deep breaths. Finally, he calmed down a little.
"Everyone, come to the study. We're having a meeting!"
When everyone arrived at the study, their expressions were solemn. Old Master Xu was angry, so no one dared to say anything.
Old Master Xu thought for a long time, then said, "We can't sit here and wait for death. The current situation is too disadvantageous for our Xu family!"
"The military's bidding will be announced soon. Our Xu family will also be participating in the bidding!"
When Xu Yongsheng heard this, he raised his head and said, "Dad, are we going to compete with the Su family? That's not very appropriate. Our Xu family has always been in the merchandise business. We've never cooperated with the military before. "
Xu Ruhui also said, "That's right, Grandpa. I know the situation isn't very good right now, but we can't just try anything in a desperate situation. The more it's like this, the more we should avoid the brunt of it. Recently, the Su family has been making a lot of moves both in the open and in the shadows. I think they're determined to win the bidding for the military's mecha business. Isn't it a little unwise for us to compete with them at this time?"
Old Master Xu shook his head. "It's fine. Just do as I say. We're going to this bidding, not to compete with the Su family. We're just there to accompany them."
Xu Yongsheng was even more confused. "Dad, what's the point of doing this? We definitely won't be able to get the project this time. If we accompany them, the Su family will think that we're trying to compete with them. Won't that make them hate us even more? "
Old Master Xu rolled his eyes at him. "That's all you can do with that brain of yours!"
"With the current situation, no one dares to offend the Su family at this time, and I definitely won't do that either! But you've all seen the Su family's attitude toward our Xu family. The Xu family's status in Imperial Capital, not to mention the Huo family, compared to the other families, our strength is clear for all to see. But now, they can even turn a blind eye to us at this kind of gathering. It's obvious that they don't want to maintain their relationship on face!
"In this situation, we have to think of a way to take the initiative to make up for our relationship with them!"
After Old Master Xu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ruhui. "Ruhui, Grandpa knows how you feel about Su Chen. Although what you did at the gathering last time was a little thoughtless, Grandpa is still very happy that you have this kind of ambition.
"Grandpa plans to send you to the bidding conference this time. I believe that Su Chen has returned to Imperial Capital at this time for the bidding conference. The Su family will definitely send Su Chen to attend. When you see Su Chen, you should know what to do, right?"
When Xu Ruhui heard her grandfather's words, her eyes instantly became wild with joy.
Grandpa had reprimanded her for what happened at the gathering last time, but she didn't expect him to give her such an opportunity today!
"Grandpa, Ruhui understands. My feelings for Young Master Su Chen … Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely perform well."
Elder Xu nodded. When he looked at his granddaughter's appearance, a faint smile finally appeared on his face. "Ru Hui, this is our family's only chance. Grandpa has handed it to you, so you must not let Grandpa down, understand?"
Xu Yongsheng also said, "Ru Hui, your grandfather has pinned the Xu family's hopes on you this time. You must perform well."
Xu Ruhui nodded vigorously and said happily, "Grandpa, Dad, don't worry. I will go prepare now!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately ran out and contacted the best stylist. She planned to do a complete makeover from head to toe. She had to show Su Chen a new version of herself. When the time came, she would appear in front of him sparkling!
If she could marry Young Master Su Chen … she would definitely become the happiest woman in the world!
