Chapter 170 Xiao Family West Courtyard
Several black cars were parked in front of their car, blocking the way.
A moment later, one of the car doors opened and a man in formal attire got out. He looked serious and unfriendly.
Meng Qi tilted her head and asked quietly, "Do you know them?"
Shaking his head, Chu He felt somewhat puzzled.
While I was thinking, the man had already come to the car, raised his hand and knocked on the window twice, with a smile on his face that did not reach his eyes.
Chu He slowly lowered the car window, and before she could ask, the man introduced himself.
"Second Young Master Madam, our Master Xiao invites you to visit the old house."
Although the words were respectful, the tone was very firm.
It’s someone from the Xiao family!
Xiao Cheng’s uncle?
Chu He's heart tightened. He was looking for her to settle the score?
She had seen Uncle Xiao Cheng’s face before at the Xiao family’s old house. He was a difficult man, so she didn’t want to go.
"I have things to do at the gallery. The Second Young Master will accompany me there later."
The man nodded slightly when he heard this, but still stood there motionless.
Although his attitude was respectful, he clearly had no intention of leaving.
Judging from the other party's attitude, it was not so much an invitation to her, it was more like they were here to kidnap her!
She turned to look at Meng Qi, and their eyes met, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
Meng Qi gripped the steering wheel tightly, keeping his foot on the accelerator, ready to reverse at any time.
"Do you want to turn around and take another route?"
Chu He shook his head and took a deep breath.
"No. It's okay. I'll go with them. I'll ask Xiao Cheng to pick me up later. You can go to the gallery first."
After saying that, he got out of the car and followed the man in black into the black car.
Watching the cars slowly driving away, Meng Qi's heart began to beat fast. These people seemed to have bad intentions.
But after all, it was someone else's family affair, so I couldn't say too much, so I drove to the gallery first.
In the old house of the Xiao family, Chu He followed the man in black to the west courtyard where the Xiao family's main house was located.
Passing through several quaint doorways, I walked all the way down. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but I always felt that the gloomy energy was very heavy, and I also felt that every step I took now might be a trap.
It is estimated that Xiao Cheng should not have returned to the old house at this time, otherwise Xiao Zhengqing would not have made such a big fuss to bring her here.
It’s better that he didn’t come back. If he came, he wouldn’t know if he would be beaten by his grandfather.
As she walked, her hand had already touched the cell phone in her bag. She thought for a long time whether to send a message to Xiao Cheng, but finally put the phone back.
Finally, they arrived at a carved wooden door, which slowly opened to reveal an elegantly decorated living room.
Xiao Zhengye was sitting in the main seat, holding the teacup in his hand and blowing on it slowly, when he saw Chu He come in.
After a long time, he slowly lifted his eyelids and took a glance, his deep eyes trembling slightly.
After a moment, he continued to blow the hot tea in his hand.
He was very arrogant, obviously waiting for Chu He to speak first.
Just as Xiao Cheng said, Xiao Zhengqing is an old fox.
She had heard about the Xiao family's affairs from her parents before, and she had some knowledge of the rumors about the internal struggle between the eldest and second masters of the Xiao family in the early years. It was a hot topic in Wancheng at the time and was known to everyone.
It was not until the second master of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhengye, Xiao Cheng's father, came to power that the internal strife of the Xiao family came to an end. The Xiao Group's industry also expanded rapidly, making the Xiao family the largest wealthy family in Wancheng.
As for Xiao Cheng's father, the outside world has no idea what means he used to become the head of the Xiao family.
Chu He is a straightforward person and cannot play any tricks. She is somewhat afraid of such cunning people.
