Chapter 1735

"Old Wu, you're here so early!" Ye Xiao greeted Wu Chuan with a smile.

However, Wu Chuan's face was not very good, and he just responded indifferently.

Not long after Ye Xiao and Davika arrived at Wu's house, Wu Huiru, wearing a white cheongsam, came out.

When she saw Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan, Wu Huiru paused for a moment, but soon regained her composure.

Wu Huiru still had some impression of the man who went to the bar yesterday and spent a lot of money to see her. She was a little surprised when Wu Chuan left quietly yesterday.

Now she understood that Wu Chuan and Ye Xiao had the same purpose.

"Mr. Ye, I told my grandfather about you. He has been fasting and meditating these days, and discussing the secret of health preservation with a Taoist master. He may not be able to see you today."

Wu Huiru said slightly disappointedly after walking forward.

After hearing what Wu Huiru said, Wu Chuan and Ye Xiao were also quite disappointed. Although the old man of the Wu family had retired, he was the person who brought the Wu family to its peak. In his middle age, his popularity was second only to the then Penglai leader.

Zhonghemen was also secretly supported by old man Wu, which shows his ambition.

It can be said that old man Wu is the core figure of the Wu family who is most likely to accept cooperation with Ye Xiao and others.

Now Wu Huiru's words revealed that old man Wu has been cultivating himself and has the intention of completely retiring. This is naturally not what Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan want to see.

"However, I can take you to the reception hall to see my father, but he will meet another group of guests first. Mr. Ye, if you are willing to wait, please follow me!" Wu Huiru added apologetically.

She also knew that her father was very neglectful of Ye Xiao and others by doing this, but this was the result of her efforts in front of her father.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan looked at each other, both of them were a little discouraged.

Perhaps they would be left aside by the Wu family just like the people sent by the second elder before when they came to the Wu Mansion today!

"Miss Wu, we can wait!" Wu Chuan said with a forced smile.

Since they were here, Wu Chuan would naturally be unwilling to leave like this.

Ye Xiao smacked his lips. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not raise any objections. They were able to enter the Wu Mansion largely because of Davika's face. It might not be the case next time. There would be such an opportunity.

Wu Huiru nodded, then turned around and led the way for the three people in front.

A few minutes later, the group was led by Wu Huiru to the reception hall of the Wu family. The furnishings here were antique and elegant, and they showed the Wu family's outstanding heritage everywhere.

"Mr. Ye, please wait here for a while. I'll go see my father." After saying this, Wu Huiru set off and went to her father Wu Shouzhuo's study.

"Dad, Mr. Ye from the inland of Longguo has arrived." Wu Huiru gently pushed open the door of the study and said to a middle-aged man who was bending over with a magnifying glass to appreciate ancient paintings.

After hearing Wu Huiru's words, Wu Shouzhuo slightly raised his head.

This is a middle-aged man with a thin face and delicate features.

"Huiru, do you know who I'm going to see in a while?" Wu Shouzhuo asked irrelevantly.

The voice was as calm as the tea placed on the table.

Wu Huiru shook her head. Her father didn't tell her this yesterday.

"It's the head of the Tiger and Leopard Halls of Zhonghemen."

When he mentioned these two names, Wu Shouzhuo's two thick eyebrows, like ink splashing, raised slightly.

"Ah!" Wu Huiru opened her mouth wide, thinking about it, not understanding what her father meant by telling her at this time.

The heads of the Tiger and Leopard Halls have already turned against her Wu family, and the object of their surrender is the opposing faction represented by Ye Xiao. Since her father wants to meet the heads of the Tiger and Leopard Halls, why did he agree to Ye Xiao and others to visit today?

"Huiru, I have also seriously considered what you said to me last night. When I meet the heads of the Tiger and Leopard Halls later, you can ask the group from the inland to wait behind the screen in the reception hall!"

At this time, Wu Shouzhuo continued to speak.

Hearing this, Wu Huiru's eyes lit up. In her opinion, her father should have loosened up.

Letting Ye Xiao and others listen to the communication between her father and the heads of the Tiger and Leopard Halls is probably intended to let Ye Xiao and others understand the current situation of the Wu family.

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Wu Huiru responded and walked out of the study quickly.

After Wu Huiru left, Wu Shouzhuo put down the magnifying glass in his hand, walked to the window, and turned his eyes toTowards a courtyard.

That's where the old man of the Wu family rests.

"Dad, what would you do if it were you back then?" Wu Shouzhuo murmured in a low voice.

More than ten minutes later, another group of guests came to the gate of the Wu Mansion, led by two big men with temperaments very similar to Long Jinyuan.

One was sturdy and short, with a centipede-like scar on his face, exuding a fierce aura from the inside out. This man was called Wang Beixiong, the head of the Tiger Hall of Zhonghemen.

The other big man had deep eye sockets, a medium build, wearing a black short coat, and his eyes narrowed into a slit from time to time, looking very gloomy. He was Lin Yunxiang, the head of the Leopard Hall of Zhonghemen, known as the Leopard Head.

As soon as Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang entered the gate of the Wu Mansion, they told their men to wait outside the gate. After Wang Beixiong took a brocade box from his younger brother, he entered the Wu Mansion with Lin Yunxiang.

"Beixiong meets Mr. Wu!"

"Yunxiang meets Mr. Wu!"

Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang greeted Wu Shouzhuo, who was sitting in the main seat of the reception hall.

Although both of them wanted to betray the Wu family, they were still in harmony when they saw the head of the Wu family.

The water in Penglai is deep, but the place is not big. Even if the two defected to the betrayal faction, they would not see each other with the Wu family.

Moreover, the Wu family was only in a declining trend, not extinct, and in many places, it could still restrain the two.
