C1564 I Lost Something
Yi Lanyou and the other two went downstairs and saw Matriarch of Cheng Family sitting on the main seat of the sofa. Patriarch Wan was also there. Behind the sofa were two rows of men wearing black suits and white shirts. Their expressions were serious.
Behind Patriarch Wan stood Wan Xinghao and the butler. Wan Xinghao was also wearing a suit. He was already somewhat reserved, but wearing this suit made him seem like he was abstinent.
Zhang Ya, who went downstairs, exchanged glances with Wan Xinghao in the air. When Zhang Ya slightly lowered her head to look at the stairs, her lips curled into a smile. On the other side, Wan Xinghao's attitude also clearly eased up a little.
Beside the Cheng Family Master sat a man and a woman. The girl was holding a teacup with a humble attitude.
Yi Lanyou glanced at the girl and retracted her gaze.
It seemed that Matriarch of Cheng Family really intended to cultivate Zhuang Ya well. She actually brought Zhuang Ya and Cheng Xuduo here at this time.
"Long time no see, Matriarch of Cheng Family. " Yi Lanyou and the other two walked to the sofa and greeted.
"Miss Yi. " Matriarch of Cheng Family looked at Yi Lanyou with some caution, "I did not expect Miss Yi to be here too. " Matriarch of Cheng Family glanced at Patriarch Wan after she finished speaking.
"Youyou is my good friend. " Wan Xingke said. "I invited her to the Cheng Family to play. "
"Oh?" Matriarch of Cheng Family slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Yi Lanyou doubtfully.
"Ah Ke, just bring Miss Yi and your little aunt to play. There is proper business here. " Patriarch Wan said.
"Yes. " Wan Xingke nodded and pursed his lips.
"Let's go. " Zhang Ya reached out and pulled Yi Lanyou's hand.
"Wait. " Matriarch of Cheng Family said, "Since you are here, take a seat. This matter has something to do with Miss Yi. "
"En?" Yi Lanyou was stunned. So what Matriarch of Cheng Family wanted to do in Wan Family today had something to do with her?
What kind of relationship?
Yi Lanyou exchanged glances with Zhang Ya and Wan Xingke in private.
"Fine. " Patriarch Wan said, "Come and take a seat. Xiao Ya, sit beside me. "
"Okay. " Zhang Ya nodded and sat beside Patriarch Wan. Before she sat down, she exchanged a look with Wan Xinghao.
Ever since Zhang Ya sat down, Wan Xinghao had been looking at her from the corner of his eye.
Yi Lanyou and Wan Xingke sat on the other side of Zhang Ya.
Zhuang Ya glanced at Zhang Ya and Wan Xinghao and withdrew her gaze.
Patriarch Wan reached out and picked up a cup of tea and gave it to Zhang Ya. "Drink tea. "
"Thank you. " Zhang Ya took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and pleasant, but the tip of her tongue still tasted some of the unique bitterness of this tea.
"You feel bitter?" Patriarch Wan took another pastry and passed it to her. "Eat some tea cake and it will not be bitter. "
"Yes. " Zhang Ya answered and took the tea cake. She took a small bite. It was quite delicious.
"This kind of show of fatherly kindness and filial piety is closed. You Wan Family can act however you want. " Matriarch of Cheng Family said, "Now is the time to talk about proper business. "
"If there is anything, just say it. It is not like I have closed your mouth!" Patriarch Wan snorted and said.
"Respect for the old!"
"Same here!"
"Everyone was speechless. The two of them had quarreled the moment they saw each other. Could they really talk about proper business?
"Cough cough. " Yi Lanyou lightly coughed and said, "That. . . I want to ask, what is it about me?"
. . . "" At this time, Matriarch of Cheng Family and Patriarch Wan's eyes shifted to Yi Lanyou.
"The Cheng Family was robbed yesterday. " Matriarch of Cheng Family said.
"Yesterday?" Yi Lanyou was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. " Matriarch of Cheng Family nodded her head and said, "It was not something precious that was lost. "
"You don't think I took it, do you?" Yi Lanyou looked at Matriarch of Cheng Family and said, "Yesterday I had a small gathering with my friend and did not go to Cheng Family. "
"I did not say that you took it. " Matriarch of Cheng Family said, "It's just that the things that were lost were temporarily stored in the Yuan Family. "
"Yuan Family!" Yi Lanyou was stunned, and said, "You said that it was my grandfather who sent it to your place?"
"That's right. " Matriarch of Cheng Family nodded and said, "It is a jade pendant. "
"What?" Yi Lanyou's heart thumped, "Jade pendant!"
"Do you know what that jade pendant is?" Matriarch of Cheng Family looked at Yi Lanyou and asked.
"I know there is such a thing but I don't know what it is made of. " Yi Lanyou also realized that her performance was a little overboard and immediately changed her expression and asked, "I wonder what that jade pendant is like?"
"A jade pendant is a jade pendant. In the end, it only has a few styles. " Matriarch of Cheng Family snorted and said, "It was originally your grandfather who lost to me. At that time, in order to protect his face, he said that he stored it at my place. Originally, losing it was losing it but since he said that he stored it, then I should give you an explanation. "
. . . "" Yi Lanyou felt that there was a bad premonition in her heart.
"Could that jade pendant be. . . " Patriarch Wan frowned. It seemed that he had the same thought as Yi Lanyou.
"Old Ghost Yuan said that the jade pendant is the token of the seven families. " Matriarch of Cheng Family looked at Patriarch Wan. "Do you also have one?"
"Patriarch Wan did not say it clearly. He glanced at Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya also understood that they should be talking about the one she was wearing.
They did not speak, but handed over the information with a few glances.
"Little girl, is that piece of yours there?" Patriarch Wan looked at Yi Lanyou.
"My piece?" Yi Lanyou nodded and said, "Yes, I put it away. "
"Your piece should be Old Ghost Yuan's. " Patriarch Wan looked at Matriarch of Cheng Family and said, "Could it be that you were fooled by Old Ghost Yuan? That person said nine out of ten sentences drunk. You can't believe it. "
"At that time, he did not seem to be saying nonsense. " Matriarch of Cheng Family waved her hand and said, "The seven major families are in chaos. That Kong Family is not a good person. "
"No matter how chaotic the seven major families are, there is no need for your four great ancient families to make comments. " Patriarch Wan shot a cold glance at Matriarch of Cheng Family.
"Just give up your face. You won't admit it even if you are rotten to the core. I am too lazy to judge what happened twenty years ago. " After Matriarch of Cheng Family said this, she shot a glance at Yi Lanyou.
Yi Lanyou saw this and reached out to pick up a piece of tea cake. She pretended to be confused and ate her own tea.
Matriarch of Cheng Family wanted Yi Lanyou to ask but Yi Lanyou did not put it on.
"Your Cheng Family is really useless. " Patriarch Wan coldly snorted and said, "What's the use of being so well-armed outside? Did you not investigate the mole?"
"The spy?" Matriarch of Cheng Family's expression changed. "Don't splash dirty water over there. "
. . . "" When Yi Lanyou heard this, she suddenly thought of something and was stunned for a moment. She put down the tea in her hand and Yi Lanyou looked at Matriarch of Cheng Family and said, "Speaking of which, I want to ask, were you at home yesterday?"0
"If I was at home, how could such a thing happen?" Matriarch of Cheng Family said, "Yesterday, that Feng Family's Lord invited me for a small gathering and got a few words from him. "
