From the moment she entered the study room, the people sitting there never took their eyes off her, whispering to each other, looking at her scared look, and shaking their heads in unison.
"Today is the day to file quarterly accounts..."
Before Sikong Xuan finished speaking, Li Ruo immediately said, "Husband, these are your men's business. I am a womanly person and I don't understand."
"Xuan'er, is this the woman you said you wanted to introduce to your uncle?" Sikong Huan looked at Li Ruo, who looked frightened, with sarcasm in his eyes.
"Second uncle, she is the third daughter of the Zhen family, my wife."
"Zhen family? Is that the family that was just annexed by the Qian family? I think Xuan'er, you have lost your mind." Sikong Huan calmly took a sip of tea, and then his sharp eyes fell on Li Ruo.
"Xuan'er, as far as my second uncle knows, she is still an unchaste woman. How can such a person be qualified to sit in the position of the wife of the family head?"
Li Ruo didn't care about his sarcasm, but the face of the person next to her was covered with frost, and the hand holding her gradually became stronger.
"What the hell, Sikong Xuan, why are you holding on so tightly? Do you know it will hurt?" She whispered in his ear.
"Will it hurt? It means you are still alive, but can't you live with dignity?"
Sikong Xuan gritted her teeth, but she snorted coldly: "How much is face worth? That second uncle of yours just now, you can tell at a glance that he is here to pick a fight with you. It's not like I'm full to hold on,
Why do you want to take part?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the person holding her hand suddenly loosened his grip. Li Ruo looked at him suspiciously, catching his fleeting injury, and immediately laughed a few times.
"It's none of your business, you go." Sikong Xuan closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, with a calm expression on his face, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"Well, see you later." After Liruo said that, she raised her feet and walked out the door.
Sikong Huan watched her leaving with a smile in his eyes. He stared at Sikong Xuan sitting above him and said coolly:
"Xuan'er, my second uncle didn't say, what qualifications do you have to inherit the position of the head of the family? Is it just because of the bastard in her hand that everyone knows?"
These words made Li Ruo's footsteps stop in mid-air. She turned around and looked at Sikong Huan, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then she said with a smile:
"Dear husband, don't you have a meeting? Why do you let a wild dog bark from the beginning to the end?"
Under everyone's surprised gaze, she returned to Sikong Xuan and sat down calmly.
"Who are you calling a wild dog?" Sikong Huan slammed the table and looked at her angrily.
"Whoever answers is the one who answers." Li Ruo raised her head and looked at him sarcastically, with the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
"You, you shameless whore..."
"Hey, you get so angry so easily? Husband, what is this old man in charge of?"
Sikong Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and threw the account book to her.
"Suzhou? This seems to be a prosperous place, and it seems that there must be a lot of money. Husband, please withdraw from his position as the general manager of Suzhou first." Li Ruo held Li Hun with one hand and quickly flipped through the ledger with the other.
"Reason?" Sikong Xuan looked at her flipping through the ledger with suspicion in his eyes. Could she really understand this?
"He offended me, is this reason enough?" Li Ruo stopped, folded a corner of the account book, and then continued to scroll down.
