Although Xie Lan was in a hurry, Shangguan Qingxue seemed to have already known everything, she was not worried at all and looked calm.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingxue cosily ate the dessert that had been cut into the size of a corn kernel with a small fork, and replied indifferently:
“Well, it’s a bit of trouble.”
“What kind of trouble? I’m afraid the trouble isn’t small!”Xie Lan screamed, “Xiao Xue, come back quickly!”
“Just now, your eldest uncle sent a message to everyone in the clan, telling everyone who is free to go to the clan meeting, saying that you’ve caused a big trouble, and wanting you to go back and give an explanation!”
Shangguan Qingxue remained calm, “I know, I’ve been waiting for them for a long time, I never thought that they would move so slowly!”
The phone hung up, and Zhang Chu and Lin SiYu also heard some of the contents of the call.
Lin SiYu instantly became worried, “It’s bad, it must be that the matter of Miss using a large amount of funds was known by the family.”
Zhang Chu also asked, “Is everything alright?”
Shangguan Qingxue smiled faintly, “Do you guys look at me like I’m alright?”
“From the time I left Jin Wei’s side, I expected this kind of thing to happen, with Jin Wei’s character, he would definitely tell Shangguan Xing and Shangguan Yi about my lack of money.”
“And Shangguan Xing and Shangguan Yi, will definitely seize this matter and not let go, will definitely make a scene, it’s not like they’ve been eyeing the control of Hibiscus Street for a day or two.”
Speaking here, Shangguan Qingxue looked at her watch, “If they’re smart enough, they should be able to finish their investigation at around eleven this morning, and together with convincing the eldest uncle to have a meeting, at around twelve, a family meeting should be held.”
“But it’s now five o’clock in the afternoon ……,” Shangguan Qingxue shook her head, “Still the same straw man as always!”
After finishing the last piece of small dessert, Shangguan Qingxue stood up and draped herself in her own small suit, reverting back to that competent and confident domineering female CEO look.
At this moment, she said to Zhang Chu, “Let’s go, Mr Zhang, you and I will go to the Shangguan Family’s family meeting.”
Zhang Chu frowned slightly, “I’m going with you? The Shangguan Family’s family meeting?”
“Right.”Shangguan Qingxue nodded her head.
“What am I going for? It’s not like I’m a member of the Shangguan Family.”Zhang Chu said.
Shangguan Qingxue blinked, “Of course you’re going, I’ve long thought of a countermeasure, and you’re the key.”
Zhang Chu was speechless, “It’s not quite appropriate for me, an outsider, to follow you, right?”
Shangguan Qingxue instantly shouted, “What’s not appropriate? This matter has a great deal to do with you, you won’t eat it up and deny it, right?”
Zhang Chu immediately castigated in his heart, “How can I just eat it up?
However, seeing Shangguan Qingxue’s insistence, he also suddenly felt that this matter might indeed require him to step in.
So Zhang Chu said, “That’s fine, if your Shangguan Family must ask you to pay back all the money, I’ll just take it on for you.”
Shangguan Qingxue then pulled Zhang Chu’s hand up and headed out, “Don’t worry, you don’t have to fight for the money, you just need to show up. At that time, a little bit of your performance might be needed.”
Obviously, Shangguan Qingxue had long since thought of what to do, and all Zhang Chu needed was to co-operate.
Since that was the case, Zhang Chu would no longer think too much and would just follow Shangguan Qingxue’s train of thought.
On the way, Shangguan Qingxue slightly introduced the situation of the Shangguan Family today.
The head of the Shangguan family was Shangguan Qingxue’s grandfather, but the old man was not at home now, saying that he had gone to the south to visit a certain very important Feng Shui master.
According to Shangguan Qingxue, the Shangguan family’s old master, would visit someone every three years.
That Feng Shui master was very powerful, twenty years ago, it was the person who gave the Shangguan family pointers, which led to the current Shangguan family.
When the old master was not at home, Shangguan Qingxue’s eldest uncle, Shangguan Wenzheng, took the overall view of all things in the Shangguan family.
However, Shangguan Qingxue’s relationship with this eldest uncle was not good.
Shangguan Wenzheng was Shangguan Xing’s father, and had a bone-deep prejudice against girls, and disliked the fact that Shangguan Qingxue could overpower the boys in the family.
Of course, even though Shangguan Wenzheng could act as a proxy for the Shangguan family’s family affairs, he couldn’t act as a dictator, and if he encountered some major issues and wanted to make some decisions, he would need to hold a family meeting.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chu, Shangguan Qingxue, Lin SiYu and Hot Pot arrived at the Shangguan Family, they first made a trip home and met Shangguan Qingxue’s mother, Xie Lan.
As soon as they met, Xie Lan urged, “Little Xue, you should quickly go over to the family meeting, they are all waiting for you.”
Immediately after that, Xie Lan muttered, “I see, your eldest uncle is more or less a bit of a problem, holding a family meeting wanting to criticise you, why didn’t he contact you personally, and asked me to pass on the message!”
Shangguan Qingxue explained expressionlessly, “Oh, I pulled the plug on him a long time ago.”
Xie Lan: ……
Zhang Chu also secretly gave Shangguan Qingxue a thumbs up, this girl’s character, was indeed a bit spicy!
At this moment, Xie Lan said, “Xiao Xue, then you go to the family’s meeting first, you’re waiting over there.”
“What about you?”Shangguan Qingxue asked.
Xie Lan said, “I’m going to find your grandmother, this time, your eldest uncle’s side might not be easy to deal with, if they dare to grab your rights, I’ll let your grandmother clean them up.”
The corners of Shangguan Qingxue’s mouth twitched, as if she thought of something funny, she instantly said, “Alright then, you go.”
Then, Shangguan Qingxue brought Zhang Chu, Lin SiYu, and Hot Pot to head to the family meeting.
Soon, the three people and a dog arrived at the Shangguan Family’s Council Building.
Lin SiYu and Hot Pot stopped outside, the two of them could not go inside.
At this time, Zhang Chu instructed, “Keep an eye on her, don’t let her get lost.”
Lin SiYu hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I love dogs the most, I’ll definitely keep an eye on her.”
Zhang Chu then spoke, “I’m saying this to Hot Pot.”
Lin SiYu instantly had a head full of questions and turned her head to look at the hot pot, only to find that the hot pot nodded its head vigorously, and even looked very serious.
Soon, Shangguan Qingxue pulled Zhang Chu into the conference room.
In the middle of the conference room was a large oval round table, where six slightly older people sat around it, the uncles and uncles of the Shangguan Family’s generation.
The position at the very centre of the round table was empty, because that was the position of the Shangguan family’s old master, even if the old master wasn’t in the clan, in any meeting, no one would dare to grab his position.
On the left hand side of the centre position was Shangguan Qingxue’s eldest uncle, Shangguan Wenzheng.
Shangguan Wenzheng is in his fifties, tall and thin, wearing a pair of large glasses, wearing a very simple dress, looks more like an old scholar who eats the old ways.
On the other seats around, there were some juniors of the Shangguan family, as well as some women.
Zhang Chu swept a glance and was quite satisfied in his heart, these youngsters of the Shangguan Family, each and every one of them seemed to be well refined and sharp.
After Shangguan Qingxue arrived, the scene was quiet for a while.
However, Shangguan Qingxue did not panic, pulling Zhang Chu to a two seats and sat down as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, countless people dropped their gazes onto Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue, many of them carrying some sort of scrutiny.
It was quiet for a full two to three minutes before Eldest Uncle Shangguan Wenzheng suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Shangguan Qingxue, I think that you should have a good idea in your heart as to what today’s meeting is actually about.”
Shangguan Qingxue directly stood up, “I know!”
“Speak for yourself, what exactly have you done?”Big Uncle said.
