Chapter 165 Appearing to celebrate birthday, no peace of mind
Zhang Hongru also said, "The reason why the Zhang family has been able to rise this year is indispensable with the help of the Guan family. Patriarch Guan, you are highly respected and respected. I hope that in the days to come, you can still take care of me."
Guan Gongming gently stroked his white beard and said, "You two don't have to be too modest. You are both rising stars. I am old and I may be buried in a few years. In this era, it is time for you young people to take charge."
"By the way, I think I heard not long ago that some unpleasant things happened in both of your families recently?"
Guan Gongming naturally refers to the death of Zhang Hongru's husband and son, and the death of Yu Yongchang's son.
Although the two families forcibly suppressed the incident and did not publicize it to the outside world, Guan Gongming still learned about it from some channels.
"Today is the seventieth birthday of the old master of the family. It's okay not to mention it." Yu Yongchang replied.
Guan Gongming nodded slightly, "I'm a little confused, and I asked some questions that I shouldn't have asked. Please sit down, both of you."
"Thank you very much, Master Guan."
When Zhang Hongru sat down, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.
During this time, she has been staying at home, like a frightened bird, staying behind closed doors.
The reason is self-evident.
After her last meeting with Chen Qi, a deep shadow had been cast in her heart.
She never wanted to see that terrifying face again. If it weren't for the warm invitation from the Guan family, which she couldn't refuse, she wouldn't have shown her face.
I just hope that today can go through smoothly and don't cause any unnecessary problems.
At this time, a gust of cool wind blew from outside the hall, which made Zhang Hongru shiver.
"Why did it suddenly become so cold today?"
Zhang Hongru complained and looked up outside the hall.
But the next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated several times.
At the same time, a bone-chilling chill spread from her limbs to her entire body, so that her body, movements, thoughts, and expression seemed to have become numb.
Zhang Hongru thought it was because she was under high stress for a long time during this period and had hallucinations.
So he wiped his eyes and looked up again.
Suddenly, she suddenly stood up from her seat.
it is true!
That nightmare-like man appears again!
"This, this, this..."
When Yu Yongchang next to him saw this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Miss Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Hongru's lips were purple and her tongue was dry, "He's here."
"Who's coming?"
Yu Yongchang also looked in the direction Zhang Hongru was looking, and his eyes widened in anger.
Outside the third-story inner courtyard, a blue and white umbrella caught his eye.
A man and a woman, the man in front, the woman holding an umbrella behind, holding a plaque covered with red cloth in the other hand, slowly emerged from the steps outside the gate.
Only when the two of them came fully into view did everyone see each other's appearance clearly.
The man was wearing a military green velvet collar coat and white gloves, walking towards the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.
He has handsome appearance and extraordinary appearance. He is like a noble man from the ancient family who has lived in a deep courtyard for a long time. He is elegant and outstanding.
He has a towering figure and deep eyes. He is like a general on the battlefield, majestic and steady as a mountain.
There was an indescribable smile on his face, it seemed like a smile but not a smile, it seemed like anger but not anger.
Along the way, it gives people a feeling of spring breeze and gentleness.
But it was this expression that woke Zhang Hongru up from nightmares many times.
Only she, who knew what Chen Qi had done in the past, could understand what a terrifying face was hidden behind this smile.
Of course Yu Yongchang also knew Chen Qi. Not long ago, it was this man who threw his biological son into the rolling river.
Yu Chengsi's body has not yet been found.
It can be said that Yu Yongchang hated Chen Qi deeply and wished he could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
During this period, because he was busy organizing the funeral for his son, he did not take action against Chen Qi.
But who would have thought that the other party would be so generous and appear in front of him without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
This seems to be a provocation to him!
Seeing the reactions of Zhang Hongru and Yu Yongchang, Guan Gongming frowned slightly and looked at the young man walking over many times.
But in his impression, he did not know Chen Qi.
Not only Guan Gongming, Guan Huachi, Guan Zhi, the rest of the Guan family, but also the other guests present did not recognize Chen Qi.
They were just confused, seeing a man and a woman in front of them.
The man is personable and has an extraordinary temperament.
The woman is shy of the moon and the flowers, and the country and the city are captivated.
Which young lady from a wealthy family came to pay homage to Guan Gongming on his birthday?
At this time, Chen Qi and Zhuque walked through the three-story inner courtyard and went straight to the lobby to stand.
Suzaku closed the umbrella, and some snowflakes stained on the top of the umbrella fell, and before they hit the ground, they turned into a few balls of rain.
Chen Qi looked around and said with a smile, "It's auspicious from heaven. Today is really a good day to visit relatives and friends. You guys think so, right?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Chen Qi meant.
But Yu Yongchang suddenly took a step forward and angrily said, "Chen Qi, you murderous beast, please give me your son's life!"
Chen Qi was slightly startled, looked at Yu Yongchang, and smiled warmly, "What a coincidence. I was visiting friends on the spur of the moment, and I didn't expect to meet the head of the Yu family."
Then, Chen Qi's eyes fell on Zhang Hongru who was behind Yu Yongchang, and he was slightly surprised, "Master Zhang, you are here too."
Zhang Hongru couldn't help but take a few steps back and stared at Chen Qi fearfully, "Chen Qi, you, what are you doing here?"
Chen Qi raised his eyes slightly and put away his smile, "Of course, I'm here to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Guan."
Is this guy trying to do something outrageous again?
Guan Huachi noticed something was wrong and asked, "Little brother, I wonder which family you belong to? We don't seem to know you?"
"Chen family."
"Chen family?" Guan Huachi thought for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Guan thought about it, and in my impression, there is no family named Chen in Fancheng..."
Chen Qi's lips tilted slightly, "Of course Fancheng didn't, because it was destroyed by you six years ago."
"Six years ago?" Guan Huachi was confused again.
Chen Qi shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Guan is really a noble man who forgets things. Six years ago, the Chen family and his wife were poisoned. Overnight, the Chen family's assets were divided among the five families of Han, Guan, Yu, Qin, and Zhang.
, so, can you remember?"
Guan Huachi's eyes widened at a visible speed, "Are you the son of the Chen family, Chen Qi?"
"Master Guan finally remembers me, and it's not in vain that I explain so much to you."
At this time, Zhang Hongru hurriedly said to Guan Huachi, "Master Guan, please quickly order someone to drive him out. This person is a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken, and he has no good intentions!"
