My body slightly trembled, and my hand unconsciously tightened around Shang Yang's arm. Shang Yang noticed the change in our expressions. So he whispered to me, "Shubei, are you okay?"
I slightly shook my head, trying my best to calm my mind, adjust my state of mind, and slowly raised my head. After so many years, I finally met Xu Changsheng's pair of sinister eyes.
His face was older than before, the corners of his eyes full of crow's feet, and the holes in his face were not smooth. It seemed that even though he had lived a comfortable life, he had not been able to wipe out the wretched atmosphere of his early years.
Although his gaze was not as sharp as before, the light that shot out was still as horrifying as a thousand year old poisonous snake crawling in the dark.
I was almost as tall as he was, and because I was so close to him, I wore a pair of high heels. His face was magnified in front of me.
In an instant, the memories of his childhood were reopened. My mind suddenly recalled the time when he used all kinds of tools to beat me up crazily. He pointed at the tip of my nose and cursed at me for being a bastard and telling me to go to hell. The intense psychological shadow rolled over me like a black cloud pressing down on a city.
Luckily, Shang Yang was standing beside me. He turned his head and saw the cold sweat on my forehead and he felt my weakness. He immediately used his arm to wrap around my waist and firmly held my back.
"Xu Shubei, I didn't expect it to be you. So many years have passed, I almost did not recognize him! " Xu Changsheng looked at me. His voice sounded extremely sinister and old. If it weren't for the years of suffering that have tempered my will, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the courage to face this man who once brought me so much trouble and fear.
"Xu Changsheng, how have you been?" I bit my lip and looked straight into his eyes as I slowly enunciated each word.
The corner of his lips curled up into a cold smile, and the look in his eyes became even more sinister. I thought that if there hadn't been so many people around, he might have grabbed me by the neck and thrown me out the window.
At this moment, everyone else was attracted by our movements and crowded around us, curiously sizing us up.
Seeing that there were more people, Xu Changsheng's gaze became peaceful again and his tone of voice completely changed. He made the first move, pointed at me and said to everyone: "She was originally my niece, but she was ungrateful, and was not one of us from Xu Family. I don't know how she snuck in here, but if anyone has anything to do with her, anyone who dares to use the name of our Xu Family would definitely not believe it. Our Xu Family does not have such a descendant! "
Everyone present were young, and in their eyes, Xu Changsheng was an esteemed senior. His Xu's Group s had also accumulated a certain amount of fame, and Xu Changsheng was especially good at different sets of appearances. As he said this, these people undoubtedly believed his words.
Then, on the spot, someone began to accuse me indiscriminately, saying that they would blast me out of here. But because Shang Yang has been standing by my side and they are not sure about the relationship between Shang Yang and me, so they didn't go too far.
Shang Yang stood by my side the whole time. He was quiet and didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for the outcome.
"If you want to add to your crimes, then do you have nothing to say?" Xu Changsheng, I haven't seen you in so many years, but I didn't expect you to still be so shameless! I am truly impressed! " I said through gritted teeth.
The moment my words left my mouth, everyone present sighed and felt that I was even more unbearable.
"Xu Shubei, you still dare to say such heartless words!" Xu Changsheng suddenly dragged his voice and looked at me with great regret, saying, "Back then, I pitied you for being without a father or mother, and raised you out of kindness. I didn't expect you to repay my kindness with hatred. Although you are not someone from the Xu Family, you are still my brother's only bloodline. I hope that you can take care of yourself from now on. "
After he finished speaking, he secretly shook his head and sighed to a young man that I did not know. "As an elder, I should not blame this junior in public. However, as her former uncle, I advise everyone to be careful of her relationships with her since she's been scheming since childhood. It was her foot that caused Tianyi's mother to lose so much money that she almost failed to save him. At that time, she was only eight or nine years old. Shang Yang, especially you, be careful when you get so close to her. "
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly turned to Shang Yang as he spoke with sincerity.
At that moment, I also cast my gaze towards Shang Yang. I saw that Shang Yang's eyes were still as calm as usual. Shang Yang said: "Thank you for your reminder Uncle Xu. However, Shang Yang has his own principles of making friends, so Uncle Xu does not need to worry. I know what kind of friends I should make and what kind of friends I shouldn't make. "
Shang Yang didn't buy it, so I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect Shang Yang to stand on my side after just two encounters.
"That's good. Since Tianyi is not here, I'll take my leave. You guys continue playing." Xu Changsheng saw Shang Yang say this and looked at me discontentedly. He probably didn't want to negotiate more with me due to his status, so he decided to leave.
I really don't want to let him off that easily, but I know that with my current strength, the consequences of enraging him will directly affect Zhou Yihai's Eastsea Group. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons again and again, I can only endure.
Unexpectedly, just as Xu Changsheng turned around, Xia Yiwa suddenly emerged from the crowd and bumped into Xu Changsheng. Unprepared, Xu Changsheng fell forward and his head fell into the layer of cake placed in front of him!
"Aiya, I'm sorry. Are you alright?" Xia Yiwa didn't even bother to greet me as she immediately helped Xu Changsheng up.
Xu Changsheng, with a face full of cream, crawled up from the pile of cakes. His head and body were covered in cream, and even his facial features were glued to the cake.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention, I didn't expect to bump into you, I'm really sorry. " Xia Yiwa kept apologizing.
I knew that this little girl was doing it on purpose, so I couldn't help but laugh. Shang Yang must have felt my spirits relax a little, because he pulled his hand away from my back. I gave him a grateful look, and he smiled graciously at me.
When everyone saw that Xu Changsheng had been made into such a state by Xia Yiwa, they held back their laughter and went forward to help. After wiping off the cake on Xu Changsheng's body for a while, they finally got rid of it. Xia Yiwa secretly winked at me as she busied herself with adding to the mess.
"What are you doing?" "Who are you?" Xu Changsheng held back his anger and questioned Xia Yiwa.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Xia Yiwa kept apologizing.
"Whose family are you from? "How come I've never seen you before?" Xu Changsheng asked when he saw Xia Yiwa's unfamiliar face.
"I am …" Xia Yiwa was about to say something when Sheng Yun walked out from the crowd. Sheng Yun took over Xia Yiwa's words and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, she's my sister. She left in such a hurry that she didn't see clearly. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Oh, so it's Yun. Is she your sister?" "How come I never knew?" Xu Changsheng was about to get angry when he saw Sheng Yun suddenly appear. He immediately suppressed his anger and put on a smiling face.
"I've just returned from the United States. You may not know this, but I will introduce him to you in the future. Tianyi is downstairs in my car. I just went to the police station to bring him back. Sheng Yun said to Xu Changsheng calmly.
"The police station?" When Xu Changsheng heard this, he was so angry that his eyes almost popped out, "Yun, what's going on?"
"You can ask Tianyi for the details. He's downstairs now, I'll take you down." Sheng Yun said to Xu Changsheng.
When Xu Changsheng heard Sheng Yun's words, how could he care about the cake on his body? He hastily followed Sheng Yun downstairs with a burning heart. It turned out that Sheng Yun and Xia Yiwa had left just now to pick Xu Tianyi up from the police station.
"Shubei, are you alright?" As soon as they left, Xia Yiwa hurried over and asked me with concern, then she whispered in my ear, "Luckily I appeared in time, so I helped you do what you didn't dare to do. Are you feeling happier now?"
"Mm, thank you, Yiwa." I looked at her, pleased.
It was a good feeling to have a friend who could understand, care for, and care for you at any time.
"What are you thanking me for!" I heard everything he said about you! I'm so pissed off! " Xia Yiwa said indignantly, then whispered, "But let me tell you a piece of news. You should be happy. Xu Tianyi is a prostitute, isn't it funny?"
When I heard that, I couldn't help but laugh. Shang Yang, who was standing beside us, obviously heard our conversation. He asked Xia Yiwa curiously, "Did you guys go to the police station to protect Xu Tianyi?"
"Yes, I just brought him back." He wanted my brother not to tell his father, but no one would help him with that. Sigh! "This bastard has done a lot of harm to people abroad. I never thought that he would still be so mischievous even after returning home!" Xia Yiwa said.
Due to Xu Changsheng's previous evaluation of me, the other people here naturally treated me with suspicion and hostility. I have felt too many of these gazes in the past two years, so I didn't think much of it. However, Wu could tell that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he said to us, "I'll take you home first, it's not fun here."
So the three of us went downstairs together. When we went downstairs, Xu Tianyi was quarrelling with Xu Changsheng downstairs.
We quickly hid behind the flower beds and eavesdropped. We saw Sheng Yun standing with his hands behind his back. Wu Tie was so angry that his face turned blue, but Xu Tianyi raised his head up high and showed an attitude of not admitting his mistake.
The two argued back and forth. In the end, Xu Changsheng was so angry that he directly dragged Xu Tianyi by the ear into his car and drove away.
"You guys can come out now that you've seen enough fun." When Xu Changsheng took Xu Tianyi away, Sheng Yun suddenly said something to us in the direction we were hiding.
It turned out that he had already discovered that we were nearby.
