Chapter 344 Are You Satisfied with the Result of Uncle's Temptation?

Chapter 344 Are you satisfied with the result of Uncle's temptation?

After entering the house, Steward Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him.

He bowed respectfully to Shang Yu and Li Qiao, "Master, all the heads and elders are waiting in the reception hall, sir let you go first. Miss Li, please come with me."

Shang Yu slowly let go of Li Qiao's hand, looked at her and said slowly, "Remember my words."

Li Qiao nodded and said she understood, and then followed Butler Xiao to the tea room in the backyard.

The surroundings of the tea room were extraordinarily quiet and peaceful, and several bodyguards stood guard near the wing room.

Housekeeper Xiao pushed open the carved wooden door for her, and there was a burst of strong tea fragrance coming inside.

In the ancient tea room, Shang Zonghai was wearing a gray Tang suit and gold-rimmed glasses, sitting in front of a tea table carved from huanghuali wood.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his hand and said, "Little girl, come and sit down."

Li Qiao stepped forward and called her uncle, and when she was seated, a cup of tea was pushed over by Shang Zonghai.

His eyes fell on the elegant cup, and there seemed to be some distant memories in his eyes, he was silent, and then said: "A few years ago, an old man gave me half a catty of Pu'er tea.

I have treasured it for more than twenty years, and I have never been willing to drink it. You little girl is lucky today. "

Li Qiao looked at Shang Zonghai calmly, nodded politely, "Thank you uncle for your hospitality."

"You don't have to be so polite, how about you taste it?"

Shang Zonghai seemed to be very patient with Li Qiao, and his eyes, which had accumulated the traces of time, stared at her without blinking.

Li Qiao held the cup to her lips and took a sip. The fragrant tea fragrance bloomed on her taste buds. She smiled and agreed, "It's delicious. It's really good tea. It's mellow but not astringent, and has a strong aroma."

Shang Zonghai nodded in relief, sighed, and stood up from the tea table.

He walked to the tea stand, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the piece of tea cake, and asked in a low voice, "Is the matter of last night resolved?"

Li Qiao put down her teacup, turned her head to look at Shang Zonghai's back, knowing that he was talking about the kidnapping case, so she responded softly: "It's almost resolved, uncle don't need to worry."

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't arranged for Ferrari to stage a car accident on the street that day, I'm afraid... I would never have thought that you are young and capable."

Li Qiao was taken aback, as surprise flashed through her eyes.

Shang Zonghai turned his back to her, didn't hear the answer, he couldn't help rubbing the beads on his wrist, and turned around slowly, "What? Didn't expect it to be me?"

Li Qiao stood up unhurriedly, looked straight into Shang Zonghai's eyes, and shook her head slightly, "I really didn't expect that, but why did uncle do that?"

The wily and calculating Shang Zonghai seemed to be playing a game of chess, and she, Li Qiao, was a pawn in this game.

This feeling is kind of bad.

At this time, Shang Zonghai sighed again, and his finger rubbing the Buddha beads gradually stopped.

He said: "You can think that I am probing, or you can think that I am testing. Little girl, you and Shaoyan are destined to bear a lot of pressure from the outside world.

If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, then I also have to consider whether I should tell you some truths. "

Li Qiao and Shang Zonghai looked at each other for three seconds, then lowered their eyelids to cover up the emotion in their eyes, "Then uncle's test results are still satisfactory?"

"For now, it's okay."

Not satisfied, not dissatisfied, just okay.

Li Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth, looked down at her toes, and continued to ask in a low voice: "The matter of Qishan World Resort is also your test?"

"No. One test is enough, if there are too many, it will be worthless." Shang Zonghai rarely explained, with a deep tone and a smile, revealing a trace of the gentleness of an elder.

Therefore, the night attack on the resort was indeed the work of the Eight Branches.

Li Qiao's stagnant eyes flickered slightly, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then uncle, can you tell me some truth now?"

Shang Zonghai raised his hand to support the eyes of the golden silk frame, and said vaguely: "Girl, you are so smart, you should guess that you have some relationship with Parma."

Sure enough, every word Shang Zonghai communicated with her in Nanyang earlier had a deep meaning.

Li Qiao raised her head and met her eyes, "Uncle means..."

Shang Zonghai looked at her deeply for a while, then stretched out his index finger and tapped in mid-air, and said with a smile: "You, this is asking knowingly."

Li Qiao pursed her lips and said she didn't dare, but deep in her eyes she felt a little annoyed.

It's really not easy to talk in front of Shang Zonghai.

"Okay, no matter what the truth is, you will always know." Shang Zonghai turned around and added: "My child, you don't need to be so defensive in front of me.

Remember, even if you are not with Shaoyan, uncle will still protect you for the rest of your life. "

This sentence, every word sonorous.

Li Qiao's heart trembled, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at Shang Zonghai's back with complicated eyes.

This is definitely not something an elder who meets by chance can say.

So, it all comes from her relationship with Palma?

Li Qiao was still standing there, thinking to herself.

Shang Zonghai had already opened the carved wooden door, and the sun was pouring around the tea room. He looked back with a kind face, "Let's go, today's clan meeting, it's time for you to meet your family."

...

It only takes a few minutes to go from the tea room to the living room.

Although Li Qiao didn't show it on the surface, she was not at peace in her heart.

In such a huge and messy family relationship, it is self-evident that she followed Shang Zonghai in the reception hall.

He is protecting himself.

As the two came to the reception hall in the front hall, a solemn and solemn atmosphere instantly enveloped the surroundings.

The moment Shang Zonghai appeared at the entrance of the hall with Li Qiao, the people inside cast their gazes in unison.

The two came against the light. Shang Zonghai, dressed in a Tang suit with an indifferent demeanor, stepped over the threshold with steady steps. Everyone in the hall immediately stood up and bowed their heads respectfully, "Patriarch."

Shang Zonghai walked forward without saying a word, and Li Qiao followed behind him without looking sideways.

The living room is very spacious. Li Qiao glanced at it from the corner of his eye. There were about fifty or sixty people present.

It is indeed a big and intricate family.

While walking, she also found that the square tables placed in the hall seemed to be arranged in the order of side branches.

Because of the dense crowd, Li Qiao found that Shang Qiongying and Shang Fu were standing in the last row.

At this time, the living room was very quiet.

Although everyone lowered their eyes and bent over, Li Qiao's appearance was bound to attract the attention of many people.

Except for the merchant standing behind the crowd, the other collateral members who had never seen Li Qiao all paid attention to her.

In a blink of an eye, Shang Zonghai took the first seat in the hall, and Li Qiao also came to the head table of the master's house under the guidance of Butler Xiao.

Everyone in the room stood up, except Shang Yu who was sitting firmly like a mountain.
