Unlike what I imagined, the interior of the villa is very empty.

Looking around, apart from a few antiques, calligraphy, paintings and flower arrangements that add to your taste, there are no unnecessary items, and the word "simple" is brought to the extreme.

However, in this extreme "simplicity", there are countless details, deeply demonstrating the foundation and strength of a hidden family.

For example, the floor covering the entire living room is made of pineapple wood.

The value of each piece of pineapple wood is equivalent to the same weight of gold, and it is priceless and cannot be bought by ordinary people.

There are also calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which are obviously written by famous artists. Any of them will attract collectors to follow them.

Two maids in black dresses looked straight and led the way.

Guan Yuxin followed them without saying a word, her high heels touched the floor, making a crisp "click" sound, which was very far away from the quiet villa.

Guan Hongqi and Lin Chong walked side by side. Since entering the villa, he put away his smile, his expression was serious and rigid, as if he had changed his personal life.

Under the guidance of two maids, the group quickly entered the living room.

The first thing that caught Lin Chong's eye was a huge dark red plaque.

The plaque seems to be made of rosewood, hanging directly in front of the living room, two and a half feet wide and about nine feet long, with four large gold-plated characters written on it: "Family passed down for thousands of years."

Just under the plaque, there were two high-backed Taishi chairs, one of which was empty, and the other was an old man wearing Tang suit and elegant appearance.

The old man has gray hair and a thin body. Although his skin is rosy, he looks much older than his actual age.

He just sat there quietly, but exuded an indescribable momentum.

Guan Hongrui, who entered the villa first, put his legs together, stood straight on the left side of the old man, staring at his toes, and didn't even look at others, making him clear that he wanted to stay out of the matter.

"Father, the little sister is here." Guan Hongqi bent down to the old man and bowed respectfully.

The old man waved his hand.

Guan Hongqi straightened up and walked silently to the old man's right side and stood still, his lips tightly closed, and he didn't dare to say a single word of extra words.

"This person should be the famous Mr. Lin Chong who has recently become famous? I am Guan Zhenming, the contemporary head of the Guan family."

The old man tidied up his clothes, got up from the magistrate chair, learned from the martyr's posture, bowed to Lin Chong, and then spoke slowly, his voice low and calm: "It's such a terrifying young man. A young master of Danjin like you hasn't appeared for many years."

"I am ashamed of being praised."

Lin Chong held his fists and returned the gift.

He actually didn't catch a cold about Guan Zhenming, but for Guan Yuxin's sake, he was a little polite. After all, the other party was Guan Yuxin's father.

Although the father and daughter have long turned against each other, how can they easily give up the relationship between blood and family?

"Your Excellency Lin Chong does not need to be humble, you can afford it."

Guan Zhenming spoke very slowly, and every word is clear: "The list of young geniuses in the Yanhuang martial arts world was formulated by the research institutions under the Guan family. I thought you could only be among the top three, but at present, you seem to have at least the ability to win the first place."

Unexpectedly, Guan Zhenming praised himself as soon as he met, and Lin Chong didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Guan Zhenming raised his hands and patted him gently.

The two disappeared maids in black appeared again, carrying a magistrate chair, quietly walked into the living room, and placed the magistrate chair next to Guan Zhenming.

Guan Zhenming stretched out his hand and pointed: "Please sit down."

Lin Chong glanced at Guan Yuxin, weighed the pros and cons, and finally walked over and sat down.

It’s not a day when the ice is frozen three feet long.

Lin Chong could feel the deep gap between Guan Yuxin and Guan Zhenming, and he could not help him.

The only thing he could do was stay and stay by Guan Yuxin's side and help her withstand the storm.

As for other matters, I can only rely on Guan Yuxin to solve them myself.

When Lin Chong talked with Guan Zhenming, Guan Yuxin never spoke without saying a word, with a cold expression, and showed no emotion, as if she was an outsider.

Guan Zhenming's eyes fell on Guan Yuxin.

Looking at this little daughter who has been favored since childhood, what happened more than ten years ago appeared in front of Guan Zhenming's eyes again, which made him unable to help but feel deeply moved.

The Guan family's main lineage was withered, especially after Guan Yutong's death, the situation became even more serious, and the branches were even occupied by magpie nests, which was a scattered momentum.

Guan Zhenming had high hopes for Guan Yutong, who was the eldest daughter, and always treated him as the head of the family. Anyway, the Guan family did not have the habit of passing on to men but not women. The position of the head of the family has always been a capable person.

However, Guan Yutong had an affair with others and had children out of wedlock. In the end, she was abandoned by the other party, which made the entire Guan family feel shame and became a laughing stock among wealthy families.

Guan Zhenming was furious and announced that he would expel Guan Yutong from the family and would not step into the Guan family for the rest of his life.

First abandoned by his lover and then expelled by his family. Guan Yutong, who has a weak personality, could not bear such a blow at all. She committed suicide shortly after giving birth to the child.

Before her death, she left a suicide note and asked her sister Guan Yuxin, who was only sixteen years old at the time, to help take care of the children, which led to Guan Yuxin's deep hatred of the Guan family and ran away without hesitation.

Guan Zhenming thought Guan Yuxin would come back, but he was wrong.

Guan Yuxin has been away for seventeen years.

During these seventeen years, Guan Yuxin lived in the southwest and raised her sister's child alone. She never said a word to Guan Zhenming. Even if Guan Zhenming sent someone to find her, she ignored it.

Many memories flashed through Guan Zhenming's mind.

"When will you be willful?" Guan Zhenming's qi cultivation skills have reached the realm of transformation. Even though the waves in his chest were still calm, his face was still calm and he asked in a cold voice.

"I'm willful?"

When Guan Yuxin heard this, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes. The anger she had been holding back for more than ten years suddenly burst out, and her emotions almost lost control: "You killed my sister!"

"Yutong's death was an accident, and my pain was no less than yours."

Guan Zhenming frowned slightly: "You are not a child anymore, why are your ideas as naive as before?"

"Accident? You obviously forced her to death."

Guan Yuxin's breasts were undulating, and her eyes turned red without realizing it: "You know that your sister is pregnant, but you still drove her away and let her stay alone outside. Have you ever thought about how frightened and helpless my sister was at that time?"

"Since you make a mistake, you have to bear the price. She violated the clan rules and had an affair with others, which made the Guan family shame. I just expelled her from the family, which is considered to be an extra kindness."
