Chapter 819 Old Man, Why Be Sad?
The phone call ended, and Murong Zhong stared at Murong Meng and the others in disbelief.
He hadn't expected Murong Huanghe to invite Murong Meng's lineage in, especially considering the catastrophic mess Murong Meng had caused before!
Could something have happened that he didn't know about?
Murong Meng snatched the phone and glared at Murong Zhong, her voice icy, "Did you hear that now?"
"I heard..."
Murong Zhong gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words from between them.
"Hmph!"
Murong Meng let out a delicate snort, then hooked her arm around Grandpa Murong's, saying, "Grandpa, let's go in!"
"Then I shall enter."
Grandpa Murong took a deep breath and looked up at the provincial Murong family he hadn't seen in many years. He strode forward, Chen Xuan following close behind.
As they entered the Murong family home, Grandpa Murong looked at the familiar flowers, grass, and trees around him, a sense of nostalgia washing over him.
Many years ago, he had lived in this very place, having grown up here. However, one day, he was directly kicked out by the Murong family, with even his belongings thrown out. They left this place and moved to Jiangzhou, a mere speck of dust!
From that day on, he never returned to look back.
He thought he would never get the chance to return, but unexpectedly, he was back today!
In an instant, Grandpa Murong's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down his face.
"Old man, why be sad?"
Suddenly, a hand landed on Grandpa Murong's shoulder.
Grandpa Murong turned his head, and Chen Xuan's face appeared before him.
Chen Xuan said, "Old man, there's plenty of time ahead. You can enjoy the scenery of the provincial Murong family. Let's go inside quickly."
"Alright! Let's go in!"
Grandpa Murong was startled, and his expression calmed down.
When the group arrived in the living room, the Murong family head and Murong Huanghe were already waiting in the living room, eagerly anticipating.
"They're here!"
Someone called out.
The Murong family head and Murong Huanghe looked up.
They first saw Chen Xuan and Murong Meng. Their arrival wasn't unexpected; they had invited Murong Meng and Chen Xuan to the Murong family yesterday. However, when they saw Grandpa Murong, everyone was stunned.
Why was he here?
The phone call just now hadn't mentioned Grandpa Murong.
"Murong Bo? Why are you here?"
The Murong family head was also surprised to see Grandpa Murong.
He hadn't expected Grandpa Murong to appear here.
Murong Huanghe coldly rebuked, "Murong Zhong, don't you know you've been kicked out of the Murong family? You have no right to be here!"
Grandpa Murong roared, "If I hadn't come, you probably would have thrown my granddaughter into a fire pit!"
Murong Huanghe's face changed.
He had secretly watched those videos of Fang Shuo with a sense of blame. That Fang Shuo was truly scum.
But...
"So what? That's what she should do. Since she's a daughter of the Murong family, she should contribute to the Murong family!"
Since Murong Meng wasn't from his lineage, he couldn't be bothered.
Grandpa Murong gritted his teeth, "You truly are not human..."
"What did you say..."
Murong Huanghe was furious.
However, the Murong family head stopped Murong Huanghe, "Alright, since they're here, they're here. Say less."
Murong Huanghe was surprised, looking at the Murong family head with a hint of confusion.
The Murong family head looked down on Murong Bo's lineage. Why was he speaking up for them today?
But he quickly understood. This was for the smooth progress of the plan!
Besides, Chen Xuan was no ordinary person now. One had to show respect, even if not for the monk, then for the Buddha.
"Murong Bo, since you're here, please sit down!"
The Murong family head waved his hand and said.
Grandpa Murong frowned but still gestured for Chen Xuan and Murong Meng to sit down.
"Murong Zhong, you must give us an explanation regarding the Fang family matter!" Grandpa Murong looked at the Murong family head and said sternly.
A flicker of displeasure crossed the Murong family head's face, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "Haha, Murong Zhong, we are truly sorry about the Fang family matter. Who could have imagined that the young master of the Fang family would be a domestic abuser and scum."
"Yes, we didn't know. If we had known, we wouldn't have done this!" Murong Huanghe also put on a different face, completely changed from before.
Chen Xuan curled his lips.
This Murong family head was truly shameless. After learning of Fang Shuo's character, he still forced Murong Meng to marry Fang Shuo, but now he was reneging and acting as if he had no idea.
It was no wonder such a family had reached its current state. It was the cycle of heaven, karma, and retribution!
These words made the furious Grandpa Murong unable to speak, as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person.
But no matter what he thought, this matter couldn't be let go.
"Cough cough!"
The Murong family head coughed twice, changing the subject, "Murong Zhong, since you're here today, it's perfect timing. I called Xiao Meng yesterday and asked them to come. Today, I plan to discuss their marriage."
"Marriage?"
Grandpa Murong was taken aback.
Whose marriage?
Whose marriage was it?
"Murong Meng isn't Chen Xuan's girlfriend. Chen Xuan even caused a scene at the engagement banquet for Murong Meng. So it's naturally their marriage."
The Murong family head said with confusion.
Why didn't Grandpa Murong know about this?
But he didn't overthink it.
Although Grandpa Murong didn't know about this, after hearing these words, he understood. Chen Xuan was probably just a shield Murong Meng had found.
If he could go with the flow and make Chen Xuan the son-in-law of the Murong family, wouldn't that be great?
An idea suddenly struck him!
Although this was not honorable, his Murong family daughters were not lacking!
The Murong family head chuckled, "We were blinded by Fang Shuo of the Fang family before. Now we see that Chen Xuan is very good, worthy of Murong Meng, and worthy of the title of Murong family son-in-law!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also strongly agree!" Murong Huanghe, against his usual nature, nodded repeatedly.
"Didn't you disagree?" Murong Meng couldn't help but ask.
"Not at all!"
"Chen Xuan is very good!"
Murong Meng frowned upon hearing this.
This provincial Murong family had ill intentions!
"Since you approve, that's the best!"
Grandpa Murong snorted, "You're not entirely without judgment. Hmph!"
Being insulted by Grandpa Murong, the Murong family head and Murong Huanghe showed a flicker of displeasure, but they still greeted him with smiles.
"Since that's the case, we'll be leaving now!"
Grandpa Murong stood up.
As expected, Murong Huanghe quickly stopped Grandpa Murong, "Uncle, don't leave yet!"
"Is there anything else?"
Grandpa Murong stopped and asked with a frown.
"I think it would be best to finalize their marriage!" Murong Huanghe said immediately.
"Hmm?"
Grandpa Murong was stunned, then nodded repeatedly in agreement, "I think it can be finalized!"
His heart leaped with joy. These words hit the mark.
If he could take this opportunity to finalize Chen Xuan and Murong Meng's marriage, wouldn't that allow Chen Xuan to transition from being the son-in-law of the Su family to the son-in-law of the Fang family?
As for why the provincial Murong family was willing to have Chen Xuan as their son-in-law, there was no need to ask. It must be that Chen Xuan had conquered the provincial Murong family with his strength!
Chen Xuan was speechless.
Damn!
I asked you to take over the Su family, and you want me to be your son-in-law? Grandpa Murong, you have no integrity at all!
