Chapter 369 Good sisters are used to stop the robbery
Xiao Yu'er took another step back, pushed out Yinghao who was following her obediently, and said solemnly: "This is Yinghao, my retinue, and also my brother."
"We grew up together. To me, Shadow is someone I can entrust my back to. Although he is my follower, he is also someone I can trust with my life."
"Everyone should get to know each other well. Shadow number is my biological brother. I hope everyone will not treat him badly because of his identity, otherwise I will be angry."
"Don't dare. Master Yinghao is your younger brother. How dare we be disrespectful to him~" Everyone waved their hands hurriedly to express their fear. Another burst of compliments sounded, and the only compliment that fell on Xu Xuanyu was
Four points.
Listening to those meaningless compliments, the little girl smiled without changing her face, and then pointed her little finger at Xu Zhengyi, who was frozen behind her, "Do you know this person?"
Everyone was confused.
There are only a few direct members of the Xu family, but there are too many collateral members. The total number of people in the Xu family is hundreds, which is equivalent to that of a medium-sized enterprise.
We rarely have the opportunity to get together, and it is impossible to know everyone. Even if you memorize the genealogy, you must first know the name to match the identity.
In addition, Xu Zhengyi's status in the collateral lineage is too low. He is an inconspicuous member of the new generation. Except for his own lineage who will pay attention to him, how can these wives who can come to please Xu Xuanyu know him?
With Xu Xuanyu's superior status, she was no different from a real princess in the past. The people who could come to her to please were not just anyone, they all had to be the family members of the 'royal ministers'.
How could these high-status family members know an inconspicuous new member? Xu Zhengyi did not have a high background and no talent. To put it bluntly, he was not worthy of being in the eyes of the ladies.
Xu Zhengyi himself also knew that he was not worthy of being known by these ladies. His expression was extremely stiff, his head was covered in fine cold sweat, and he wanted to run away, but this was a family gathering, where could he run?
"My... name is Xu Zhengyi, and my great-grandfather's name is Xu Jie..."
Xu Zhengyi stiffened his body and did not dare to say another word under the eyes of many ladies.
He was particularly afraid now, fearing that Xu Xuanyu would tell him about talking about her behind his back. Their family was already Xu Xuanyu's fifth brother, and they were considered very distant relatives. If he offended Xu Xuanyu again, Xu Xuanyu would
What should I do if the fish doesn’t recognize them as a relative?
The reason why the Xu family's collateral line did not dare to offend the Zhili lineage was because the Zhili lineage was too powerful. All the property and power of the Xu family were in the hands of the Zhili lineage. Even though the previous generations of the Zhili lineage had always been a single lineage, no collateral lineage had ever been able to take it from them.
Take away the power.
It's not that the direct line doesn't give it, it's that they can't pick it up...
It may be that the direct line is too good, and God has deprived the collateral lines of their talents. There are not many talents among the hundreds of Xu family's collateral lines. They can only manage the house and deal with some trivial things. If they are given important responsibilities, they will
Losing money for years and even going bankrupt.
After trying for several generations, the collateral descendants no longer had the idea of being self-reliant, and just wanted to rely on the immediate generation and become rich n-generations who could just wait to die.
The older generation of collaterals have no desire to fight, and the new generation of collaterals naturally have no desire to fight for power. They just want to live a happy life relying on the dividends given by their direct lineage, and do not want to work hard on their own, so the Xu family's collaterals are the last to
They are afraid that their immediate relatives will not want them, they are afraid of being kicked out of the family tree, and they are no longer related to their immediate relatives, so who will support them? How can they enjoy life?
Thinking that they might no longer have anyone to spend their money on, Xu Zhengyi's face turned pale and he quickly bowed his head and apologized to Xu Xuanyu.
But when he turned around, he found that Xu Xuanyu was gone.
The little girl who was here just now listening to other people's compliments disappeared at some point, and the heart-shaking red color was nowhere to be seen in the entire banquet hall.
In the corner, rest area.
Xu Xuanyu was lazily leaning on the sofa. When she saw Xu Youyu and Xu Haoyan who were also hiding in and lazing around, she couldn't help but say: "These relatives from the collateral line are so powerful. They don't even have to write a draft when it comes to flattery.
I can say anything."
Xu Youyu chuckled softly, "If you don't want to hear it, don't listen. Just come here and sit and wait for grandpa."
"Grandpa will be here soon. With grandpa here, there will be fewer people surrounding us."
Xu Xuanyu let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to call the waiter who was guarding the screen, "In ten minutes, go and pick up Xi'er and Yinghao. Just let them help me for a while. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it after a long time."
.”
The waiter nodded respectfully. He wore an epaulette unique to the Xu family on his shoulders, distinguishing his identity from other waiters.
With him standing in front of the screen, no one dared to come and disturb.
Even if all the collaterals knew that Xu Xuanyu and the others were sitting behind the screen, they would not dare to come over.
"People from the side sect are going too far every year."
Xu Haoyan also lazily leaned on the sofa, shaking the red wine glass in his hand with some disdain, "These people together are enough to start a company. Our family has spent so many resources to train them, but they would rather be like dirt that cannot be supported."
, and I don’t want to be a hard-working person, something will happen sooner or later if I continue like this.”
"The benefits that Big Brother gives them are too good to inspire their fighting spirit. According to my opinion, the younger generation should be thrown into the secret guard camp and just hang out with me for a few years." Xu Anzhe walked in from outside the screen.
.
The elders who should come from the side branches have all arrived, and the remaining few who are too old to move have already sent representatives over. The others do not need Xu Anzhe and Xu Shengyu to pick them up at the door.
So Xu Shengyu also came back. The five brothers and sisters were all sitting behind the screen. No one went to the front to greet the guests, not even Xu Jingyi and Yan Qianyi came forward.
Xu Shengyu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine to quench his thirst, and then said calmly: "We are all one family, and the Xu family does not lack the money to support them. There is no need to let them do things they don't like. The second and third children
, it’s your turn to go to the front to receive guests.”
Xu Haoyan stretched and said slowly: "We are all a family, just let them play in front, and we don't have to go out to receive them."
Xu Youyu also sat motionless, not even looking at Xu Shengyu.
Xu Shengyu smiled and did not force his two brothers to go to the front. He looked at Xu Xuanyu and said, "I heard that someone was talking about you behind your back, and you heard it?"
"Really?" Xu Xuanyu tilted his head, not caring at all about the two words Xu Zhengyi said, "That's not considered a discussion, it's also true. It's true that I haven't celebrated my grandpa's birthday in four years. I'm afraid it's because of that.
I haven't been here in the past few years, so grandpa's seventieth birthday was not a big event."
"That's what that person said about you?" Xu Anzhe narrowed his eyes.
In the Xu family, apart from Xu Shengyu, Xu Anzhe has the most power, or in some respects, Xu Anzhe has more control. He always has a bloodiness and violence that ordinary people don't have.
Xu Anzhe raised his eyes and looked outside the screen, and said softly: "Even Yao'er dares to talk about it. The younger generation from the sideline is really in trouble."
"Starting tomorrow, all those over eighteen will go to the Dark Guard Camp for special training. They will be released when school starts. They will all stay in the Dark Guard Camp during the winter and summer vacations until they graduate from college."
"As for those who have graduated from college, those who are not married all go to the secret guard camp, and those who are married and have no children still go to the secret guard camp. Everyone adopts iron-blooded education and gives them one month off every year until their wives are pregnant.
