453 Visiting the Xu Family
After Song Dahu was arrested, Elder Xu thanked Qin Xi profusely and insisted on inviting her to his house.
Qin Xi agreed. Knowing that Old Madam Xu liked jade, she specially bought a raw stone, the kind of which she knew would turn out to be a jade.
When she stepped into the Xu mansion and took out the greeting gift, the rest of the Xu family members were dumbfounded. Only Elder Xu was excited. He personally welcomed Qin Xi into the house.
Elder Xu had a lot of say in the entire Xu family. Although his children were all rich and powerful, they all respected him.
The old man usually had a straight face and was serious and old-fashioned. When had he ever been so amiable towards an outsider? Those who did not know better would think that Qin Xi was his granddaughter!
Of course, Elder Xu did not tell everyone that Qin Xi was his savior. It was not that he did not want to announce it, but he was afraid that if the news spread, it would get Qin Xi into trouble. He could only say that Qin Xi was a friend he knew from stone gambling.
Therefore, the moment Qin Xi stepped into the Xu mansion, the older generation of the Xu family was not enthusiastic towards her.
In their opinion, Qin Xi was undoubtedly trying to get close to the old man with ulterior motives.
The younger generation was much more simple-minded. They knew very well that their grandfather was a smart person. How could he be bewitched by a young girl? They were very friendly to Qin Xi.
This was what it meant to be too smart for one’s own good. The older ones were used to scheming, while the children were less complicated.
Qin Xi could tell that Elder Xu’s children were a little wary of her, but she did not care. She was invited to the Xu mansion and did not want to have anything to do with the rest of the Xu family.
Therefore, she did not show any intention of wanting to flatter them. Other than talking to the old man and the old lady, the person she talked to the most was Elder Xu’s granddaughter.
“Sister Xi, your skin is too good. I can’t see a single pore. How did you do it? I’m so envious!”
“That’s right. And your hair is smooth and black. It’s not like mine. It’s messy and yellow. It’s ugly.”
“Hey, Sister Xi, I heard from Grandpa that you’re very good at stone gambling. Can you teach me? I want to be as good as you…”
A few children, who were 15 to 16 years old, surrounded her and asked questions. It was as if they had seen their idol. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this moment, two tall figures entered the house.
“It’s Eldest Brother and Second Brother!”
A girl who was next to Qin Xi was excited and ran to the door happily. She immediately threw herself into the arms of one of the young men and said, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you’re back. We have a guest today. She’s a very beautiful sister. Her name is Qin Xi.”
Xu Linyuan and Xu Linfeng, the top figures of the Xu family’s younger generation, had already taken over most of the Xu family’s businesses.
Xu Linfeng rubbed his sister’s head and smiled dotingly before greeting the elders.
Xu Linyuan’s eyes narrowed. He looked past the old man, searching for Qin Xi.
Elder Xu waved at the two of them. “Come over and let me introduce you. This is Qin Xi, a friend I know.”
“Xi, these are my two grandsons. The eldest is Xu Linyuan. The second is Xu Linfeng. You’re about the same age and unmarried. You can get to know each other more…”
