After the call, Ling Xiaosu pretended to be talking to her good friend, saying to the heaven defying official, "Xiao An, I'm busy right now, so I have to go out with someone else. I might not be able to come back for a while …" Ah? What? Where to? I don't know either. Alright, I won't say anymore to you. I'm leaving. Bye bye. "
Ling Xiaosu hung up the phone hurriedly and then looked up at the bodyguard beside her, "I've already finished the call. I can get in the car with you now."
Ling Xiaosu put the phone back in his pocket. The bodyguard at the side made a "please" gesture, and Ling Xiaosu got into the car.
Once he got on the car, Ling Xiaosu started to feel uneasy. She hoped that this heaven defying official could understand the meaning behind her phone call and quickly find someone to save her.
Inside his office, the heaven defying official called him again and again. As he listened to the busy tone of the phone, he frowned slightly.
After a long while, the heaven defying official hung up the busy tone phone number and dialed Zhao Wenjie's number. He instructed, "Go and find out where Ling Xiaosu has been today. Report to me as soon as possible."
Zhao Wenjie, who had just picked up the phone, was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask for the reason, Rebellion had already hung up. With a blank look on his face, Zhao Wenjie quickly reacted and began to investigate.
Ling Xiaosu, who was sitting in the car, felt a little uneasy. She didn't know where these people were taking her, and judging from the direction they were going, it didn't seem like they were going to the old mansion, so who was the old man they were talking about?
The car drove into a huge villa. Ling Xiaosu was invited out of the car. Then, a housekeeper walked into the house.
"Our master has been waiting inside for a long time." The butler brought Ling Xiaosu to the door and pushed her in without any formalities.
Ling Xiaosu staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
"Miss Ling, please take a seat." Ling Xiaosu looked up and saw an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Ling Xiaosu didn't dare to sit on the sofa. After all, there wasn't a single empty seat in front of her as it was filled with people.
Ling Xiaosu pursed her lips and laughed, "I'll just stand there. No more trouble."
The old man did not say anything as he stared at Ling Xiaosu. Ling Xiaosu could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Ling Xiaosu felt uncomfortable. Why did these people invite her here? She didn't know these people.
The old man picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea. With an ancient voice, he said, "I believe Miss Ling should be very suspicious right now. You don't know us, so why did we invite you here?"
Ling Xiaosu nodded. That was indeed the case. This old man had told her everything that was on his mind.
"I wonder if Miss Ling has ever heard of the Chu Clan?" This time, the one who spoke was a middle-aged man who stood next to the old man. If one looked carefully, they would see that this middle-aged man looked a little similar to Chu Xiaoran.
Chu Family?
Ling Xiaosu raised her eyebrows. Wasn't the Chu Clan Chu Xiaoran's family?
Out of politeness, Ling Xiaosu nodded and replied, "Yes."
The middle-aged man revealed an amiable smile and said to Ling Xiaosu, "The old man sitting in front of you is my father. Chu Xiaoran's grandfather is also the head of the Chu Clan."
Old Man Chu drank another mouthful of tea without batting an eyelid.
Ling Xiaosu was slightly shocked. Chu Xiaoran's grandfather? Old Man Chu? Then he … Why did he invite me to the Chu Clan?
"There's no need to panic, Miss Ling. Today, we invited you here just to have a cup of tea. There's no other special meaning."
Ling Xiaosu blinked. Did he think she would believe him? It was the first time she saw such a clumsy excuse to invite her over and then invite her for a cup of tea.
Ling Xiaosu took a deep breath, adjusted her tone, and said to Chu Mu, "If you have anything to say, feel free to say it, because I still need to return as soon as possible during the filming. If I have any disrespect for you, please forgive me Grandpa Chu."
Chu Mu didn't think that he would be choked. The smile on his face stiffened a little. "Isn't Miss Ling a bit too …"
Ling Xiaosu raised her head and looked over. Her eyes were filled with calmness. After being stared at for a while, Chu Feng kept his mouth shut.
Old Man Chu finally finished his cup of tea and heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he looked directly at Ling Xiaosu, "The fiancee of that little bastard, the heaven defying official?" Old man Chu looked up and down, and let out a disdainful sound from his mouth, sneering: "You're so rude and uncultured, and you actually became the fiancee of that little bastard, the heaven defying official?" The Old Master has truly been blind to actually agree to let such a woman in. "
The old man's tone of voice was full of contempt and disdain. Ling Xiaosu's gaze instantly turned cold as anger rose in her heart.
Ling Xiaosu looked at Old Man Chu with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said as gently as possible, "I wonder what your criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law are?"
What did agreeing or not have anything to do with him? She was the fiancée of a heaven defying official, not the daughter-in-law of Old Man Chu. The disdain in her tone was clear … Annoyed!
Old Man Chu looked contemptuously at Ling Xiaosu, his face revealing an expression of satisfaction, "If you want to choose, you have to choose the right family, a girl who is similar in family background."
Old Man Chu didn't say a word to hint at Ling Xiaosu that his words were correct. Who else did he think his family was similar to other than Chu Xiaoran?
He was actually praising his own granddaughter!
Ling Xiaosu snickered in her heart as she maintained her polite and distant smile, "Since the old man thinks that a woman of good family and imagination is worthy of the heaven defying official, then I don't think I have the qualifications to stand here right now. So, I'm disturbing everyone. I still have things to do first."
After saying that, Ling Xiaosu turned around, no longer willing to look at the faces of the Chu Clan members.
"Halt!" Old man Chu roared in anger, "Our Chu Family is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want!"
Ling Xiaosu remained unmoved and continued walking.
When Old Man Chu saw Ling Xiaosu's attitude, the corners of his mouth curled up in anger as he angrily ordered, "Butler, stop her! Don't let her take a step out of the Chu Clan!"
The butler came out from who knows where and followed behind a few bodyguards to stop Ling Xiaosu.
Ling Xiaosu stopped walking as her shoulders shook. Clenching her fists, she turned around and looked at Old Man Chu, "Even if you don't want to speak in secret, Old Man Chu must explain the reason for inviting me here. Otherwise, no matter who stops me, I will still get out of here!"
Old man Chu's face stiffened as he angrily knocked on his walking stick: "You're not educated, you really aren't!"
