After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies
Chapter 638: Impossible in this Life
Seeing Xiao Mingyang like this, Xiao Jincheng suddenly laughed. After a long time, the laughter became a little gloomy, even scary. Lin Yuqing pulled the corner of Xiao Mingyang's clothes. The old man looked very gentle just now, how could he become like this in the blink of an eye.
"Ming Yang, I will only tell you this once, only this time, come back to England with me and inherit the Xiao family's assets."
Xiao Mingyang looked at Xiao Jincheng and said, "Then I'll say it again, it can't be done!"
Lilith couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Xiao Mingyang. No one had ever dared to go against Xiao Jincheng's wishes in front of him. This was the second time she had seen this happen. If this man died, who would she turn to?
"Grandpa, I think he just hasn't made up his mind yet." Lilith sensed Xiao Jincheng's anger. In the past, the bodyguards outside would be on call at this time, but this time, Lilith wanted to rely on herself to protect this man. At least he couldn't disappear like this before she got him. "Don't you agree, Xiao Mingyang?"
Xiao Mingyang was surprised that Lilith would actually speak for him, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he replied coldly, "It's impossible in this lifetime."
"Then you'd better stay with your good wife, because I promise that if you refuse me, you will be in great pain."
Holding Lin Yuqing's hand, Xiao Mingyang felt a little stiff. He had no idea who this man was. He hoped that he was just a threat, nothing more.
The people of the Xiao family have never been weak, so even though Xiao Jincheng's body has become like this, they still haven't changed their old style. It's just that now he no longer has the ability to do it himself.
"Xiao Mingyang, don't challenge grandpa's authority."
Lilith was seriously angry this time, because no one wanted to see the consequences of angering her grandfather.
What happened to the last person who offended my grandfather? Maybe he is still struggling to survive in the smell of formaldehyde.
Regardless of whether Xiao Jincheng is his relative or not, Xiao Mingyang feels that the more important thing at the moment is to find out the background of this man, otherwise there is no telling when an accident might happen.
"Yuqing, let's go."
Xiao Mingyang hugged Lin Yuqing and was about to leave.
But how could Xiao Jincheng let them go easily? The guards at the door were standing firm at the door and refused to move. No matter how powerful Xiao Mingyang was, he could not deal with a few burly African men.
"Stay and have dinner with me. After the meal, I will let you go."
This sounded like a threat, but Xiao Mingyang knew that it was more than just a threat. The person in his arms trembled slightly. Xiao Mingyang hugged her tightly. For now, he could only obey the man's wishes. Perhaps he could find a more appropriate time to leave.
"Lilith, go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Today I want to give a good welcome to the descendants of the Xiao family."
Xiao Jincheng was about to get up, but he had no strength at all. Less than two minutes after standing up, he collapsed back into the chair.
"Okay, Grandpa."
Lilith looked at Xiao Mingyang with complicated eyes. Now was not the time to be jealous. This man might even lose his life. Thinking of everything that had happened before, Lilith was really worried for him.
But Xiao Jincheng didn't give any more instructions. He originally thought it would be a bloody Hongmen Banquet. After the dishes were served, Xiao Jincheng sat in his seat, of course, after the wheelchair was pushed over.
"Today is our Xiao family's first reunion dinner. I haven't enjoyed it for more than 20 years. I hope you can have a good meal this time. Be happy and don't be nervous because of me."
Xiao Mingyang didn't know what Xiao Jincheng was up to, but in this situation, it seemed that there was no other way out except to eat.
Damn it, I should have brought some people with me. Because I was so worried about Lin Yuqing, Xiao Mingyang even forgot to make some preparations in advance.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
Lilith sat opposite, and Lin Yuqing sat next to Xiao Mingyang. She looked at him and wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth because she didn't know whether it was appropriate to say these words now.
"Cough cough cough..."
At the originally quiet table, Xiao Jincheng's coughing became a little more rapid. Lilith nervously put her knife and fork aside and hurried over to check on Xiao Jincheng. "Grandpa, where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you in pain again?"
Xiao Mingyang looked indifferent, but Lin Yuqing, although she somewhat disliked the old man's style, he was an old man after all, and this situation must be very uncomfortable for him.
"I'll get you a glass of water."
Lin Yuqing stood up from the dining table, poured a glass of water, and moved closer to Xiao Jincheng. Lilith, who was originally a little wary, saw that Xiao Jincheng didn't care, so she took the glass of water. However, looking at Lin Yuqing's face, she still looked unfriendly and said, "Get away!"
Lin Yuqing, who originally wanted to help, sat back next to Xiao Mingyang in a sullen manner. Xiao Mingyang felt a little sorry for his wife. She was clearly helping them, but now she was being talked about like this. It was simply unbearable.
"Let this old man die and leave him alone."
Lilith was offended, "Don't think that just because I like you, you can act so recklessly."
It's really ridiculous. When did he need a woman's love to protect him? Besides, Xiao Mingyang didn't think it was a good thing to be liked by such a woman.
"Mingyang, stop talking."
After a long pause, Xiao Jincheng's complexion finally recovered somewhat. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry for letting you see my embarrassing side. After all, I'm just an old man and I won't live much longer."
Xiao Mingyang didn't say anything, didn't eat or drink water, just sat there.
Xiao Jincheng sighed, "Mingyang, I know you still hate your father, but I didn't know at the time that he still had the blood of the Xiao family. If I knew, I would not leave you and your son alone."
Lin Yuqing was also moved when she heard this. Indeed, some things were simply unavoidable, just like she was given away out of helplessness. As for Xiao Jincheng, he just didn't know that he had such a descendant. In fact, Xiao Mingyang was too sensitive.
"Mingyang, you should actually understand grandpa."
Xiao Mingyang looked at Lin Yuqing in disbelief, but he probably guessed that someone as soft-hearted as Lin Yuqing would be deceived by the old man's lies. Twenty years had passed, and he only came to recognize her now. Isn't it a bit ridiculous? What's more, based on Xiao Jincheng's ability, it made no sense that he wouldn't even know that his own son had a child.
