C452 What Light Bulb
"Hi, Dad, I'm back." Alright, this was the way Young Master Mo greeted the old man. The others had long since gotten used to it, so they wanted Mu Haiting and the Fifth Lord to be more serious. Not to mention the door, there was no window at all.
At this time, the dozen or so people at the table tactfully shut their mouths and didn't say anything. Nangong Xi's taut face couldn't be any more tense. He wanted to see what his son's carefree and carefree attitude was like.
The chopsticks and chopsticks in his hands were thrown heavily onto the table. He snorted coldly with a fierce face, "You still know to come back?"
"You mean that I can also not come back? Then I won't disturb your meal. " Nangong Mo put his hands in his pockets and was about to turn around to leave. It was obvious that his father wouldn't stop until he was angered to death.
"You!" Nangong Xi had taken good care of himself. When he was old, his body naturally could not be compared to a young man's. He was so angry with his son that he covered his chest and gasped for air.
The second wife, Lyu Ju, who was sitting on the right side of him, immediately stood up and pulled Nangong Mo's arm. "Fifth Master Mo, what did your father mean by that? He just saw that you did not return for a long time, so he was worried and his tone became heavier. It's rare for a family to gather today, where do you want to go? "
" He can go wherever he wants, why are you pulling him? " Nangong Xi was furious and scolded in a rough voice.
"Master..." Lyu Ju dragged her tone and winked at her husband. The leader of the family listened to her beautiful young wife and turned away with a cold face. She did not say anything else.
The rest of the people of Nangong family watched this scene quietly, but their expressions were different. They were mocking, sneering, disdaining, and their expressions were unpredictable.
Lyu Ju continued to advise Nangong Mo, "Fifth Master Mo, please take a seat. The weather is cold. How can it compare to having a warm dinner with a family outside?"
"It is warm when a family sits together. It is just that some thick-skinned outsiders have squeezed in, so there is no warmth to speak of." A sarcastic remark suddenly came from the opposite side.
"Second Sister, eat well and don't say anything useless." This time, it was still Eldest Sister Nangong Fei who spoke. She sat upright on the first seat on her father's left. Eldest Sister was full of manners. From time to time, she would preach to her younger brother and sister. The one who was scolded was Nangong Mo's Second Sister.
"If you don't want to eat, get out of here!" Nangong Xi shouted angrily. The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned cold.
Nangong Lin was so scared that he shrunk his neck and shut his mouth unwillingly. His eyes coldly swept across their young stepmother, Lyu Ju. This Lyu Ju was even younger than them. She was more than enough to be their father's daughter, but she actually climbed onto their father and even gave birth to a child. From then on, the mother depended on her son to be precious. This world was really chaotic. There were all kinds of women.
How could Lyu Ju not know that in this family, other than her husband's heart on her, everyone else was looking forward to her getting lost. Their words, both in the open and in the dark, were mocking and mocking her. It was fine if she pretended to be deaf and mute and did not hear it. If she really wanted to fuss over it, wouldn't it anger her to death?
Therefore, she continued to pull Nangong Mo to persuade him, "Fifth Master Mo, sit here." She turned around and said to the maid, "Why aren't you bringing the bowls and chopsticks over? Why are you in a daze?"
The maid was frightened by the tense atmosphere just now. Upon hearing that, she quickly went to get new bowls and chopsticks.
Nangong Mo unnoticeably pulled his hand back and glanced at the spot in front of him. He frowned and suddenly pointed at the maid beside him. "Come here and move this chair there." The position he pointed at was the first position his father took down, and the seat in front of Lyu Ju.
Everyone looked at him. There were already people who were putting on a good show.
Before Lyu Ju, the stepmother, appeared, Nangong Mo's seat was at the first seat on the right side of his father. Now that this seat was taken by Lyu Ju, he asked the servants to move his chair in front of everyone. It clearly meant that he did not want to admit that he had a stepmother.
He was afraid that he was the only one in this family who dared to do such a thing without giving face to Nangong Xi. Although the others did not acknowledge Lyu Ju, they did not dare to be impudent in front of their father. They did not blame others for watching this scene with interest.
Of course, Nangong Xi understood the meaning of his son's action. His face darkened again and he scolded in a low voice, "Go back to your seat!"
The maid, who had already moved the chair over, was stunned when she heard the old master's shout and did not know what to do. Nangong Mo simply took the chair and put it on his own. He sat down without any hesitation and with the same idle attitude, he said, "Dad, I just sat back in my seat. Did I sit in the wrong place?"
There were rules for everyone to sit at the dining table. The row on Nangong Xi's left sat around the dining table with the four sisters. Their husbands sat on the right side of the table. Nangong Mo sat on the right side of the table all the time. That was why he didn't think he was wrong. Lyu Ju had occupied his seat.
Don't think that it was just a small position. In a big family, the position you took indicated your position in this family. You could not easily let it go.
Lyu Ju was one year younger than Nangong Mo, but no matter what, she was his stepmother. Therefore, Nangong Xi thought that this order could not be messed up. With a dark face, he wanted to ask him to sit at the back. Lyu Ju saw that the old master's expression was not right and quickly came out to mediate, "Master, it's okay. It doesn't matter where you sit. Mu Haiting Fifth Master just came back. There is nothing wrong with wanting to get close to you, old master."
"Did I ever say that I want to get close to him? I just don't like others taking my place." Nangong Mo followed her words, not willing to give in at all.
No matter how good Lyu Ju's self-control was, her expression was a little ugly at this moment. The hands in front of her could not help but tighten, but her temper was really good to the point of no words. At this time, she could still laugh, "Fifth Master Mo must be joking, who dares to occupy your position?"
"Come over here and sit with me." Nangong Xi had a headache. He did not want to have a bad dinner. He waved his hand to let Lyu Ju sit beside him.
"Dad! That is our mother's seat. This woman cannot sit!" Second Eldest Sister Nangong Lin could not hold back his loud voice and stared at Lyu Ju fiercely.
"What is this woman? That woman? Youwei is also your mother now, what do you have to say about me letting her sit here? " Nangong Xi's roar shook the entire restaurant.1
This dinner could not be carried out happily, but there were still people who felt that it was not chaotic enough. Nangong Mo stood up. "In that case, Dad, you can have dinner with your little lover. Why should we stay as light bulbs?"
Nangong Lin did not dare to refute her father, but she would go with Nangong Mo. As for their husbands, they felt it was not a good time to talk at this time, so silence was the wisest.
"Ah Mo, don't mess around." Eldest Sister Nangong Fei frowned and scolded him.
"That's right. It's rare for everyone to sit and eat together. Why do you all have to put on a long face? Ah Mo, listen to brother-in-law. Sit down." The one who spoke was the eldest brother-in-law, Zhou Chidong. He listened to his wife very much. Now, he was only agreeing with Nangong Fei.
