"I am the eldest daughter of the Xu family. What qualifications do you have to stop me from entering?" Xu Jing mustered up her courage and introduced her identity.
He even raised his chin in contempt.
The servant looked her over from top to bottom, "Miss? There are only two young masters in our Xu family, so how can we have an eldest lady? Are you mistaken?"
In fact, since Xu Jing left the Xu family, this name has become taboo.
Many new servants didn't even know that the Xu family had a daughter.
When did Xu Shuyi suffer such humiliation?
She immediately became angry, "I want to see Xu Junzhou! Whether she is the eldest lady of the Xu family or not, we will know when the time comes!"
The servant looked embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't let you in without proof of identity."
She was just fulfilling the duties of a servant.
If someone is put in and something happens, her job will be lost.
Xu Shuyi had no choice but to call Xu Junyan again.
However, Xu Junyan blocked her a long time ago. He called her several times but failed to get through. She was so anxious that she was spinning in circles.
The noise outside was so loud that it alerted the housekeeper inside.
"What happened?" The butler walked out, looking a little unhappy.
When he saw Xu Shuyi, he was stunned, "Miss? Is it really you? You..."
Xu Shuyi was angry when she saw the housekeeper coming out, and suddenly there was a trace of sourness in her heart.
It has been twenty years, and the housekeeper is much older than he remembered.
He still wore a well-tailored suit, but his hair was gray and he also wore metal-framed reading glasses.
The wrinkles on the face show the traces of time.
The only thing that hasn't changed is probably those eyes.
When looking at her, she is always so gentle, kind and doting.
Those memories that she thought she had long forgotten suddenly came flooding back like a tidal wave.
"Uncle Butler..."
The housekeeper's eyes instantly turned red.
He hadn't heard this title for a long time.
Xu Shuyi always called him this before leaving home.
Obviously he is just a servant, but Xu Shuyi has always respected him.
"Miss, why are you back?" The housekeeper invited her into the house.
Xu Shuyi followed the housekeeper, and when she passed the maid, she glared at her viciously.
The servant who was glared at scratched his head. How could this gesture look like a wealthy lady?
Those who didn’t know better thought he was some bumpkin from the countryside.
Xu Jing has not returned to the Xu family for more than 20 years. The place has changed a lot, and some of the decoration and layout are different from what she remembered.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, she heard a rapid cough.
Immediately afterwards, an old figure suddenly appeared at the stairs on the second floor.
"Butler, what's so noisy outside?"
The housekeeper stepped forward excitedly, helped Mr. Xu down, pointed at Xu Shuyi and said: "Old man, look, who is back?"
Mr. Xu looked in the direction pointed by the butler and was stunned.
His hand holding the crutch began to tremble, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he did not recover for a long time.
Fortunately, Mr. Xu has seen the world and quickly adjusted his mood.
It's just that his originally expressionless face now looked frighteningly gloomy.
"dad……"
Xu Jing spoke cautiously, feeling uneasy
That lunatic Su Honglu actually threatened her with the safety of the children, so she had to come to the Xu family to ask her father and brother for help.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. She had insomnia and tossed and turned in bed every night.
Every night in the dead of night, the things that happened to Su Honglu after they were married for more than 20 years appeared in her mind.
Some things simply cannot bear to be considered carefully.
It turns out that she had been deceiving herself all along.
Su Honglu had been deceiving her from beginning to end.
At first it was for her money, but later it was because she was worried that her three sons would unite to retaliate against her after knowing the truth.
"Don't call me dad. I'm not your dad. From the moment you stepped out of this family twenty years ago, you have nothing to do with the Xu family." Mr. Xu was so angry at her that he couldn't help it.
A violent cough.
When the housekeeper heard the cough, he quickly reached out and patted his back, "Master, you are not in good health, don't be so angry."
Mr. Xu waved his hands with an ugly expression, and looked at Xu Jing with a pair of sharp eyes, "Get out, you are not welcome here."
"Dad, don't be like this. I already know I was wrong. I came back this time just to apologize to you." Xu Jing was worried about the old man's health and hurriedly stepped forward.
"If you can't understand what people are saying, I will ask bodyguards to kick you out." Mr. Xu's voice was cold, like an ice pick, thrust straight into Xu Jing's chest.
Her heart felt like it was being delayed, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
"Dad, I really know I was wrong." She knelt down on the ground with a plop, begging with red eyes.
The housekeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so he also begged for mercy, "Old man, I think the lady really knows that she was wrong. How about you forgive her?"
Even the housekeeper feels distressed, so how can Mr. Xu not feel distressed?
But he clearly knew Xu Jing's purpose of returning to the Xu family this time.
He was too lazy to beat around the bush with Xu Jing, "I heard that the Su family recently declared bankruptcy, and your adopted daughter was also arrested and taken to the police station."
Mr. Xu's voice was calm, but these few words were like thunder, striking Xu Jing's brain hard.
She looked at Mr. Xu in disbelief, "Dad, how do you know..."
Mr. Xu snorted coldly, "Don't worry about how I know it. Do you dare to say that these two things are not why you came here this time?"
Xu Jing lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience, her eyes flashing slightly.
Seeing her like this, what else doesn't Mr. Xu understand?
He looked at Xu Jing with disappointment in his eyes, "Go back, I won't help you."
Even after so many years, he still didn't like Su Honglu and never recognized Su Honglu as his son-in-law.
A grown man with no sense of responsibility actually asked his daughter to elope with him even if she gave up the family and everything.
Now that the Su Group is bankrupt, she is left alone to come back for help.
"Dad, please help Honglu. After this bankruptcy, our family is really having a hard time..."
Xu Jing knew that she was in the wrong, but she had to do this.
"Cough cough cough..."
Mr. Xu coughed violently again, and suddenly his energy and blood surged. He spit out a mouthful of blood, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
When Xu Junzhou came back from get off work, this was what he saw.
Although the old man was not in good health, he did not faint on the spot.
When he walked in, he saw Xu Jing's face clearly and understood the whole story.
He asked the housekeeper to help the old man upstairs, and called the family doctor.
Because of Mr. Xu's illness, the Xu family was briefly in chaos.
