Mr. Chu has an order that all direct members of the Chu family must rush back to the Chu Manor immediately to hold a family meeting!

The family meeting is a meeting that the Chu family will only convene when major changes occur. In special times, the head of the Chu family can even be deposed!

Therefore, as soon as this news came out, all the direct descendants of the Chu family in Xingchao City put aside all their affairs and rushed to the Chu family manor with all their strength.

They had received the news that the only son of their second wife had died. While they were shocked, they also understood that the family meeting held by Mr. Chu was extremely powerful!

Therefore, in less than an hour, almost all members of the direct lineage of the Chu family had gathered together, whispering, waiting for the family meeting to begin.

At the same time, deep inside the No. 1 Scholar, an old man and a young man were chatting casually.

"Xiao Chen, you are now my granddaughter's husband. Isn't it too much for me to call you this?"

In the quaint courtyard, Mr. Chu Jinhui was still lying on the bamboo chair.

Although the old man is nearly eighty years old, he is as skinny as a stick, but his eyes are bright, he is not angry, and he has a majestic air when he talks and laughs.

Long Chen stood beside Chu Jinhui with an indifferent expression, and nodded with a faint smile: "Of course it's not too much. Since you have entered into a marriage contract with Qingcheng, then you can also show your love to the younger generation by calling me Xiaochen."

The two chatted casually, as if they were grandfather and grandson who had known each other for many years, and ordinary people wouldn't see anything weird about them.

After a while, Chu Jinhui suddenly looked into the distance with a little sadness in his eyes: "Do you think this matter was really done by the Chu family themselves?"

"The old man already has the answer in his heart, doesn't he?"

Long Chen glanced at Chu Jinhui and smiled helplessly, somewhat understanding the sadness in Mr. Chu's heart.

His grandson was killed, but the murderer was his own relative, or even another son or grandson. Such a cruel killing among each other, one can imagine how sad this old man felt in his heart.

"What if it's not?"

Chu Jinhui was silent for a long time and lay weakly on the chair. He seemed much older in an instant.

"Although I don't know the details of the forces that destroyed the Long family, I understand that if the other party attacks, it will definitely not be as simple as this little disturbance."

Long Chen sighed slightly: "Grandpa, now that things have happened, whether you turn a blind eye or kill your relatives out of justice depends on your thoughts."

Chu Jinhui said no more and lay silently on the bamboo chair.

When Long Chen saw this, he gently backed away.

The old man knew very well and had even found the murderer long ago, but would he choose to protect his second wife?

Without protection, he will lose his entire faction, Erfang, and may even cause the Chu family to fall apart!

But once sheltered, when the truth comes out, the Chu family may be in dire straits!

...

"where have you been?"

After Chu Qingcheng returned to the villa, she didn't see Long Chen. Just when she was about to go out to look for him, she saw Long Chen coming in. She couldn't help but frown and asked.

"hey-hey."

Long Chen scratched his head, showed a simple and honest look, and gave a delicate rose to Chu Qingcheng.

"It's okay, don't run around,"

Chu Qingcheng was startled, and subconsciously took the rose. The coldness between her brows and eyes dissipated a little, and she whispered softly.

"It's getting late, come with me to attend the family meeting."

After saying that, Chu Qingcheng habitually held Long Chen's hand and walked towards the meeting hall.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"
