As soon as Ai Mingxu walked to the door, he heard a burst of laughter and laughter coming from inside.
What shocked him was that this hearty laughter came from Ai Chuan.
As Ai Chuan's son, he had never heard Ai Chuan smile so happily. At this moment, he suddenly had some doubts. He wondered whether this two-story western-style building that looked extremely simple on the outside was extremely luxurious inside.
?
Otherwise, how could Ai Chuan, who has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth, smile so happily in a place like this?
For a time, many thoughts appeared in his mind.
He suddenly felt impatient, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the room.
However, when he saw the scene inside the house clearly, he was completely stunned.
Because there was no luxurious decoration as he imagined, just the simplest white latex paint, light beige floor tiles, and even no baseboards for the wall tiles.
On the roof are simple LED energy-saving lamps, and then there are some mahogany furniture in the room, which seem to be worth some money, but Ai Mingxu understands that the total value of this set of mahogany furniture will never exceed one hundred thousand.
In such a simple room, Ai Chuan and Irene, as well as Yang Chen and Ma Chao, were sitting at the dining table eating.
The meals are also very simple, three dishes and one soup.
"How did you come?"
Ai Chuan suddenly spoke with an unhappy look on his face.
"Dad, I'm here to take you home."
Ai Mingxu gritted his teeth, showed a forced smile, walked forward and said.
He also glanced around casually, and then said: "You are the former head of the Ai family. In the Ai family, there is also a luxurious villa belonging to you. How can such a rubbish place be worthy of your status?"
?”
"Dad, please clean up quickly and come home with me!"
Ai Mingxu said with a smile.
However, what he didn't notice was that Ai Chuan's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Old master, please come home with us! The Ai family cannot live without you."
"The Ai family is the place where you should retire. This shabby place is not suitable for you at all."
"Yes, the head of the old family has devoted his life to the Ai family. If you live here alone, not to mention it is not safe, even if the news spreads, people outside will laugh at the Ai family's unfilial piety."
The elders of the Ai family who came with Ai Mingxu began to persuade him.
These people are very smart. They clearly saw Irene and the others, but they didn't seem to see them, and they didn't even mention letting Irene go home.
On the way here, Ai Mingxu had warned her not to persuade Eileen if she was there, because he knew very well what his daughter's temperament was.
Now only through Ai Chuan can Irene be persuaded to return to the Ai family.
"clang!"
Ai Chuan suddenly put the bowl on the dining table and said angrily: "Shut up!"
Ai Chuan, who was smiling just now, changed his face at any time.
Everyone in the Ai family was silent and did not dare to speak.
Ai Mingxu was also frightened. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly said: "Dad, please stop making trouble and come back with me. How can I rest assured if you are left here alone?"
"Are you blind? Who told you that I was alone?"
Ai Mingxu said pointedly.
Irene also stood up at this time, looked at Ai Mingxu calmly and said: "In the future, I will live with grandpa and take good care of him. You are the head of the Ai family, and you still have many things to worry about, grandpa.
I won’t bother you to take care of it here.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Eileen's words.
Yang Chen and Ma Chao also said nothing and watched everything quietly.
If Irene and Ai Chuan really want to return to the Ai family, they will naturally not stop them and will still help the Ai family. If they are unwilling, then the life and death of the Ai family has nothing to do with them.
"Xiao Lin, dad knows that you have deep resentment towards me, but no matter what, dad is doing it for the family! Isn't this also your grandfather's expectation to make the Ai family more glorious?"
"Now the development of the Ai family has reached a bottleneck. Only your grandfather can make the Ai family stronger. Please persuade your grandfather to go home with me!"
"And you, dad really knows that he was wrong. I hope you can put aside the past grudges, take grandpa and go home with dad."
Ai Mingxu said with sincerity.
He regretted it, but still didn't realize his mistake.
The disappointment in Erin's eyes was even deeper.
Ai Chuan sneered: "You are my son, what do you think? Do you really think I don't know?"
"You'd better put away your little thoughts and take the people away!"
"It's impossible for me to go back to Ai's house."
Ai Chuan drove him away without politeness.
Eileen also said: "Grandpa likes this place very much. Since he has given up everything to come here, he wants to enjoy his old age here. I don't want anyone to disturb me. Let's go!"
For a time, everyone in the Ai family was very anxious.
If they really leave, Ai Chuan and Irene may never return to the Ai family in this life. Then how can the Ai family use Yang Chen's power to make the Ai family stronger?
"Dad, isn't it your lifelong dream to make the Ai family stronger? You clearly know what I want to do, and you know that I am doing this for the Ai family. Why can't you understand me? Support me?"
Ai Mingxu was suddenly very excited and said with red eyes: "I know I made a mistake this time. I'm sorry to you and Xiaolin, but I had no choice but to do this!"
Ai Chuan's eyes were full of disappointment. He took a deep look at Ai Mingxu, and then said coldly: "It's now, and you haven't realized your mistake. You keep saying that you are doing it for the Ai family. Is that really the case?
?"
"I dream of making the Ai family stronger, but I won't be like you, ruthless enough to let my own daughter die."
"Let's go. Since I have handed over the head of the family to you, you should be responsible for the rise and fall of the family. Even if the Ai family is really destroyed by your hands, it will be your fault, and I am worthy of the Ai family.
of ancestors."
After that, Ai Chuan said: "Send off the guests!"
Ma Chao stood up and was about to drive away the people from the Ai family. At this time, Yang Chen also stood up and pressed on Ma Chao's shoulders from behind. He didn't want to embarrass his brother.
"Take the Ai family and let's go! If I know that you still dare to harass Grandpa Ai, I will do something that will make you regret even more."
Yang Chen looked at the people of the Ai family coldly and said, his eyes full of threats: "Don't doubt my words, because in my eyes, not to mention the Ai family, even the Eight Gates of Yandu, as long as I am willing, I can make them
They were destroyed in an instant!"
Everyone in the Ai family felt like thorns on their backs, and their whole bodies were shaking.
If they hadn't seen with their own eyes the respectful attitude of the eight family heads of Yandu towards Yang Chen, they would definitely think that Yang Chen was telling lies.
But now, they know very well that what Yang Chen said is true.
At this time, the regret in their hearts was even stronger, because the woman they had driven out of the Ai family and her friend turned out to be a young man who could subvert the eight gates of Yandu.
