Last Day: Supporting Actress’s Child - C81
The Xi Shu Family was a big family. In this family, all sorts of people were gathered. They served a family, and also sold their freedom for this family.
It was a villa located in a valley. It was close to a mountain and a river flowed in all directions. As a dangerous place that was easy to guard and difficult to attack, the people who lived here were naturally the so-called noble people.
She walked along the gravel path, surrounded by flowers and a misty atmosphere. With a touch of delicate elegance, she strolled up the stone steps and entered the clan’s ancestral hall as if she were on a pilgrimage. It was rumored that Feng Shui said that going from the lowest point to the highest point was like a saint going towards the holy land in his heart, bringing with him the feeling of looking up and worshipping.
People will always feel small when there are a lot of things in the world, and worship the magnificence of the world afterwards. When they walked through the long gravel path, and approached the enormous and majestic ancestral hall, and saw the huge mountain range behind the majestic place, they would worship it without any complaints.
Su Jin laughed. This was the dozen or so times in her life that she had come in, but every time she came in, she only felt the gloomy dampness here, as well as the boredom and novelty in the dense fog. When she saw the mountain range and the vast natural scenery, she would feel a surge of hot blood rushing through her veins.
The huge palace-like structure was said to be dedicated to the ancestors of the Shu Family. It was said that they had ancient ministers and generals, as well as inventors of the modern world. They had an ancient and noble status, and in this Western Shu, the Shu family was a king.
No matter if it was black or white.
Su Jin smiled as she looked at the luxurious old buildings. As long as she turned around, she would be able to see the buildings in the valley: white walls, black tiles, three stories, living in a single place. It was like a village, and this village belonged to one person.
It was just like an ancient king.
She was the daughter of the eldest son. Under the tradition of the son inheriting the position of Patriarch, almost no one knew what power she possessed and what she possessed. The reason why the family had always rejected her was because she was their daughter. She was a woman, but she was also the daughter of a legitimate son. No matter how badly she was born, she was still the first-in-line successor to the family.
In these twenty years, the reason why she came back so high and mighty was only for the truth. What she wanted to do was destined to be, in the end, to fail that old man who sat on the seat of the family head.
“Xiaoxiao, kowtow in front of the ancestor and wait for grandfather to speak to you.”
At that moment, she felt as if she had been transported to an aristocratic family. There were some people dressed in elegant clothes, some were gentle, some were quiet, some were powerful, some were refined and indifferent. And she was kneeling in front of them, accepting their challenge. She suddenly wanted to laugh. In such a world, was there really anything with such monstrous strength?
She followed the old man’s words and kowtowed, as if some strange phenomenon she couldn’t see before her seemed to have come to life. What she saw wasn’t a soul, nor was it a ghost, but something strange that looked like mist. This seemed to be the so-called spiritual energy?
“Alright, get up.” The old man stopped beside her and looked at her.
When Su Jin laughed and got up, the old man brought her to the back of the hall. This was the place where the ancestral hall was worshipped. In the past, there were portraits of the ancestors and their deeds. In addition to some books and collections, this place did not seem like the ancestral hall, but more like a library.
It was like the library in the shrine.
She could see it, and she could reach out and touch it, as if she had seen some cute little thing. She could grab one with her hand, and that feeling was as if she had caught a ball, soft and elastic. Su Jin laughed as she rubbed the ball in her hand, and found it funny.
The person in front kept walking forward as if he didn’t notice what the person behind him was doing. When he pushed open a heavy door, the creaking sound of the door attracted Su Jin’s attention. The old man was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.
Su Jin laughed blankly for a moment. It was as if she was releasing sunlight. Hiding her cough, she let go of the little guy. However, her action was as if there was nothing in the world. Her face was somewhat red, and when paired with the earrings on her earlobes, she seemed somewhat charming.
The old man sighed, “Come in.” As if unaffected by her strange actions, he brought her inside the house.
The darkness suddenly covered her eyes. Su Jin laughed as she squinted her eyes, looking at the small room.
This was a quiet room, other than the door behind him and a small window about one square meter, there was no other place that could go out. In front of him was a short chair with two cushions, the old man sat on it while Su Jin smiled and could only sit on the seat opposite him.
This was a type of look that made people extremely disgusted, but just from this grandpa’s point of view, Su Jin Xiao didn’t reject it at all. She sat down as instructed and stared at her hands in her lap without looking at her grandfather’s expression. She felt that even if she was killed here, no one would know and she didn’t know whether her grandfather would kill her or not.
“Xiao-Xiao, do you know why I brought you here?”
Su Jin laughed. Her grandfather, Shu Qin, always had a kind of gentleness that made people want to get close to him. The seemingly amiable head of the family had never been on the surface. If he was not sensitive enough, it was not impossible for him to be killed because he was too out of bounds.
In the past, when his grandfather sat in that seat, he had killed quite a few people. And they were all afraid of the old man now. Even if he looked old.
“Your granddaughter doesn’t know, grandpa might as well tell your granddaughter.” Of course, she wouldn’t reply to such a polite question with a very intimate tone. This kind of family relationship was always the same in Su Jin Xiao’s eyes. It was as if she had never had so many sweet and warm moments with her mother. After all these years, she hadn’t gone crazy. She was truly amazing.
A family full of affection suddenly turned into an indifferent family. No one would miss them too much. Su Jin Xiao suddenly realized that her heartache was not born, but was formed from so many years of loneliness. Who could maintain the heart of a lover in such a frivolous and oligarchic family?
You should know that the Shu Family has quite a high status in the political world, in the business world, as well as in the black and white world. This time, since you have come back, your relationship with the three families and your grandfather has seen it all, so he wants to give you a choice. He paused for a moment. Looking at the well-behaved person, he seemed to be unable to bear it.
“Grandfather wants to say, in fact, all these years letting me out outside was actually to protect me, right? Was that master of mine also sent by grandpa to teach me? I don’t believe that my father would have so much for me. It is said that you two broke off our relationship back then. ”
“Xiao-Xiao, do you know how much you’re worth right now?” This was a weird answer. Su Jin couldn’t react at all. This person could actually ask such a question at such a time.
“How tall?” Since she didn’t want to say it, she knew it was fine. But now that she had returned, it was destined that she wouldn’t be as simple as she seemed now.
“There’s still a month left. As long as you can win the partnership with the three great families, you will be able to inherit the Shu family’s company. This is the first step in inheriting the family clan.” Therefore, he decided to calculate the price himself.
