Chapter 342
At the same time, on the other side of Haicheng, the Xiao Family Manor.
As the largest family in Haicheng, with its strength and status here, the Xiao Family would of course own a large manor with a beautiful environment.
However, today, the sky above the beautiful manor seemed to be shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.
The hundreds of servants in the manor, as well as the equally large number of family guards, were all cautious and trembling.
They only dared to whisper to each other, and even dared not speak loudly. They looked like they were walking on thin ice, for fear that they would do something wrong by accident. They would be punished by the fury of the master.
Even if the beasts of the beast masters wanted to roar and scream, they would be stopped by their masters, for fear that they would accidentally cause disaster.
At this moment, in the study room on the top floor of the main building of the villa in the center of the manor.
Xiao Ya Shi casually leaned on the soft leather sofa. The whole person sank into it in a very relaxed posture. One long white leg was lifted up and placed on the other leg, shaking from time to time.
Her flawless, porcelain-white skin, under the light, faintly shimmered with a lustrous luster.
Xiao Yashi looked as relaxed as she could be. She was wearing a lemon-yellow gauze dress, the color was as bright and attractive as she was. She was passionate and outgoing, with a strong sense of presence. She was radiant, and no matter where she was, she would become the focus of countless people's attention.
Well, Xiao Yashi was not just relaxed on the surface, she was really relaxed.
Looking at the present, she might be the most relaxed person in the entire Xiao family mansion. Others were more or less affected by the tense atmosphere, but she didn't care at all and ignored it directly.
Holding a cup of steaming bubble black tea, Xiao Yashi sipped it while admiring the expression of the middle-aged man opposite with interest.
The middle-aged man was of course no one else, but the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yashi, Xiao Feifei's father, Xiao Yuanshan.
Just looking at his face, Xiao Yuanshan is actually very gentle. His facial features are coordinated and handsome, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which gives him a very elegant and bookish temperament.
The eyes behind the lenses are majestic and wise, but not too sharp. They are awe-inspiring, but also just right.
Although he has seven daughters, and the youngest daughter is now 20 years old and married successfully.
But he still looks very young, only in his early 30s.
This is also normal. Xiao Yuanshan is also a beastmaster with good strength. The beastmaster has feedback on his lifespan.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Yuanshan will live two or three hundred years now, without any problem.
Correspondingly, the aging speed will naturally slow down a lot, and it is normal to still maintain a young face.
Therefore, it can be seen that Xiao Yuanshan is indeed outstanding in both appearance and temperament. In fact, if you think about the looks of Xiao Yashi and Xiao Feifei, you will understand that Xiao Yuanshan himself is not too bad looking.
However, at this moment, the expression on the face of the Xiao family patriarch, who is usually majestic, imposing, and able to dominate and call the wind and rain, is quite difficult to describe.
A pair of sharp and majestic eagle eyes stared at the mobile phone screen on the brown desk in front of him. What is displayed on the screen? Everyone knows it, and Xiao Yashi knows it too.
Xiao Yashi held her chin with one hand and looked at her father's every move with interest. She did not miss any slight changes in his expression. She wanted to read the truest thoughts in Xiao Yuanshan's heart.
Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, and forced herself to hold back her laughter, and reminded him: "My dear father, you have maintained this action and expression for more than five minutes."
"Aren't your eyes sore? If you keep staring like this, I feel that the phone and even the table will be stared out of two holes."
"Also, it's cold enough in this winter. Can you stop releasing cold air outside? This is the rhythm of freezing our whole family to death!"
"Today is New Year's Eve, please let everyone have a good New Year, okay? Hurry up and put away the cold air and low pressure on your body. If you keep suppressing it like this, even if the whole family is not frozen to death by the cold air you release, they will be suffocated to death by this low pressure."
Xiao Yashi didn't speak, but she kept talking. The rose-colored lips opened and closed, which was originally a beautiful scene.
But hearing her chattering endlessly, Xiao Yuanshan just wanted to throw her out of the window.
Xiao Yuanshan finally took his eyes off the phone screen. He sat up straight, rubbed his sore neck, and pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses.Then he looked at Xiao Yashi who was sitting on the sofa across from him.
Well, from this point of view, Xiao Yashi has achieved her goal and successfully diverted her father's attention.
"I'm very surprised. Why can you be indifferent when something like this happens? You even have the leisure to drink tea here." Xiao Yuanshan tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and with the sound of bang bang bang, he questioned Xiao Yashi very sternly.
It looked like he was going to vent his anger on Xiao Yashi the next moment.
Slurp, Xiao Yashi lifted her long legs and drank another beautiful sip of black tea. She also deliberately blinked twice, and the sound was quite obvious.
With just this one move, Xiao Yuanshan's face on the opposite side turned completely black, comparable to the blackest pot bottom in the world. Maybe Xiao Hei would have to admit defeat.
Feeling the terrifying volcano on the opposite side that could erupt at any time, Xiao Yashi thought for a second, and finally the desire to survive took over the impulse to die.
She put down the teacup and looked up at Xiao Yuanshan. Her face was still a bit lazy, with a careless smile.
But in those black and white eyes, slightly tilted at the corners, and slightly narrow, there was only calmness and seriousness.
"It's something I expected a long time ago, so there's no need to be surprised." Xiao Yashi said in a calm and matter-of-fact tone while playing with a strand of black hair hanging on her cheek with her slender jade fingers.
Before Xiao Yuanshan could speak, Xiao Yashi suddenly added another sentence. "I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate the seventh sister, and don't underestimate Mo Fan. You can hide the things you did from others, but not from them."
"Whether it's Mo Fan or the seventh sister, you can't control them. At least today, you no longer have that ability."
Xiao Yuanshan was indifferent, and his eyes hidden behind the lenses were dim and unclear. His expression became more and more complicated, and it was hard to describe.
"I think I have overestimated him enough." After a long silence, Xiao Yuanshan finally spoke, saying this in a somewhat ambiguous way.
Others may not understand what Xiao Yuanshan meant by this, and may feel a little puzzled. But Xiao Yashi understood his true meaning at the first time.
"You said it, that's just what you think." Xiao Yashi put down the hair in her hand and pinned it back behind her ears, with a smile on her face becoming more and more superficial.
"For a person who has no upper limit at all, no matter how ordinary people overestimate him, it will always be a trough for him."
Xiao Yuanshan opened his mouth, but the words that came to his mouth were interrupted and blocked by Xiao Yashi again.
"What I said is absolutely true, please do not refute it. At this point, so many things have happened. You and other people who think they are in a high position should see the facts and recognize the truth. Mo Fan is above you."
"Don't look at him as a normal person. Or to be more exaggerated, don't look at him, the Nine Heavens Dragon, with the eyes of a group of frogs in the well. If you continue to be so stupid or deceive yourself, you will be worse than a frog in the well."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yashi sighed lightly. The smile on her delicate face finally disappeared completely, replaced by an unbreakable solemnity.
"Mo Fan is too low-key after all. He is actually very peaceful in his bones. Because of this, he often doesn't fight or rob, and doesn't know how to fight back when he is not forced. As a result, this gives you the illusion that he is easy to bully."
"But the fact is that he doesn't bother to pay attention to you. Otherwise, if he really wants to fight and kill, who in the world can stop him?"
"Is it really okay to praise an outsider and belittle your own father?" After patiently suppressing his anger and finally waiting for Xiao Yashi to finish her words, Xiao Yuanshan took a deep breath and asked unhappily.
"Dad, good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears. I do this just because I am afraid that you will make mistakes again and again. In the end, not only will you completely break up with the seventh sister, but it is also possible that you will harm yourself and our entire Xiao family!"
Raising her hand and pinching her eyebrows, Xiao Yashi said a little tiredly.
"Mo Fan has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he has no temper. His tolerance is limited. If we make him angry, we will really be in trouble!"
"Don't think that today's incident is really because Seventh Sister took the initiative and wanted to force you."
"On the contrary, she also has good intentions. She is using this method to protect you and our entire Xiao family in disguise. Otherwise, if Mo Fan personally takes action to solve the problem, then you will not be angry. This place is really going to kill people,There will be blood flowing like a river. "
"The matter of Yunmeng Lake and Su Mucheng both illustrate this point very well."
Xiao Yuanshan originally wanted to refute and ask who needs her to make decisions on her own?
But after hearing Xiao Yashi's last words, he couldn't help but fall silent.
Su Mucheng's matter really made Xiao Yuanshan both shocked and angry. Especially the fact that even the Xiao family was almost implicated made him very angry.
At the same time, he was really shocked by how deeply Su Mucheng hid. For so many years, even he didn't notice it at all, and he was kept in the dark and played around.
After a little thought, even Xiao Yuanshan had to be afraid of the future. Su Mucheng hid So deep, if he had evil intentions towards the Xiao family, and suddenly attacked one day, I'm afraid that even if Xiao Yuanshan and his family didn't die, they would be skinned alive.
But if you think about it from another angle, it's so hidden. Su Mucheng, who is so cunning and has outstanding means, was defeated by Mo Fan in one blow.
He was severely beaten right at the beginning. From this, doesn't it mean that Mo Fan is more than ten times more terrifying than Su Mucheng?
With this comparison, and thinking about this food chain, Xiao Yuanshan felt that he really had no way to refute Xiao Yashi's words.
