Chapter 22: Family Meeting (1)
"Third Miss, Fourth Miss, Fifth Young Master, and Young Master Helan, the patriarch asked to meet in the hall now." A man's deep voice spoke.
This bodyguard was the one who served under the patriarch of the Huang family, Huang Donghai.
The bodyguard's word was like the patriarch's word.
Even Huang Bai Xing and everyone else in the house must respect this man.
"Thank you, uncle Xuan, for informing." Huang Ying Yue nodded and then passed the four people toward the main hall.
Everyone "...…"
Uncle Xuan was the name of the bodyguard. His voice was like that of a middle-aged man, but no one could see his face.
Uncle Xuan was taken aback when he heard her polite words. His sharp eyes stared at the girl in pale red-white hanfu.
This girl, in the past, although she was lawless to others, always hid from him in fear and didn't dare to look into his eyes.
{Oh, has this girl's brain been hit by the frog?} He raised his eyebrows behind the mask.
Huang Wan Yan said nothing. His dull eyes just stared at the back of the slender figure in pale red-white hanfu.
"Yes, Uncle Xuan." Huang Bai Xing and Helan Yuze replied as three of them arched their hands.
Huang Bai Xing looked at the tall and strong figure in plain black hanfu. She felt that this man had something that made her soul tremble.
As a modern assassin with sharp sense, she was sensitive. As long as he doesn't hurt her, she won't care.
{Interesting, this man exuded the charm smell of the man.} Huang Bai Xing's eyes flashed as she stared at him. If he could serve under her, she could have a powerful subordinate.
Uncle Xuan frowned; his eyes flashed with cold light as he disappeared from the place. He didn't like the way this fourth miss looked at him like he was her prey and object. So disgusting!
...…..
[Huang Family Main Hall]
After Huang Ying Yue arrived in the hall, she looked around.
The hall was spacious, and each of the hall's pillars was carved with exquisite snake beasts.
There were many chairs with long tables on both sides of the hallway.
There was a jade chair in the middle position, and a middle-aged man in a green robe sat there. He was Huang Donghai, the patriarch of the Huang family.
There were three chairs on both sides of the jade chair, a little lower than the jade chair. Each side sat three figures, who are the six elders with white beards and hair.
Many people have already arrived in the hall. Huang Donghai sat in the main position, followed by the Six elders.
The Huang family is located in the outer domain of Zhiwu city.
Here, in the Outer Domain, the Huang family was considered one of the top four families.
There are six elders, four wives, and five children who were the bloodline of Huang Donghai. There are two uncles who were the siblings of Huang Donghai. But the two uncles were doing the business now; they were not here.
The first wife gave birth to a son. The second wife gave birth to a daughter. The third wife gave birth to Huang Ying Yue, but she died since Huang Ying Yue was young due to illness. The fourth wife gave birth to Huang Bai Xing and Huang Wan Yan.
The wife of the first uncle gave birth to a daughter. The wife of the second uncle gave birth to a son.
The Six Elders devoted themselves to cultivation, so they don't have any wives now.
In Huang Ying Yue's memory, she didn't remember anything related to her mother. Maybe because her mother died when she was born.
Today, in this hall, all the members of the family gathered. Everyone sat in their chairs according to their status. Only the first son and second daughter of Huang Donghai were missing.
They were learning in the sect in the Inner Domain now. They were the heart and pride of everyone in the family.
When Huang Ying Yue arrived in the hall, countless eyes shot at her. Both with curiosity and puzzlement.
"Girl, where do I sit?" Huang Ying Yue walked to the maid and asked.
"Miss, who are you?" The maid asked in embarrassment. This beautiful girl was so polite to her as a maid. But she has never seen such a person.
"Huang Ying Yue." Huang Ying Yue replied calmly. She knew that she was extremely famous. Just report her name; people from the outer domain knew her until the inner domain knew her.
Not famous for being strong, but...
"What! Is she Huang Ying Yue?" The fourth wife stood up in shock. Her gentle image was gone.
"No way, she changed so much that I don't recognize her!" The second wife opened her mouth wide. Her charming image is almost gone.
"Let's see what she's going to do; is she making trouble here again?" The girl, who was around 18 years old, frowned as she muttered. She is Huang Ling Ling, the daughter of the first uncle.
Only the beautiful first wife stared at Huang Ying Yue in puzzlement.
The elders frowned and turned to look at Huang Donghai. They didn't understand what the patriarch was doing. Why did he call this girl to the family meeting today?
What were those two bodyguards who were supposed to guard the main hall entrance doing? How did they allow this girl to make trouble here?
Two bodyguards who didn't recover from the shock when they knew that the girl was Huang Ying Yue said, "..."
Sure enough, from curiosity to contempt and disgust, those eye sights shot straight at her.
"The servant is incompetent. Please forgive the servant, Miss." The man was pale and hurried to kneel down. Oh no, how could she not notice this third miss?
The people here haven't known the event that happened at the lotus lake yet. If they knew it, they would be shocked to the point of speechlessness.
"It's okay. Just lead the way." Huang Ying Yue stopped her from kneeling.
"Yes..yes. Third Miss, please come this way." No matter how shocked the maid is, she still did her job perfectly.
"Please sit here, Third Miss." The maid led her to the chair that was nearest to the main places where important figures sat.
Huang Ying Yue "Thank you." She would rather not be in the limelight. And who was the one arranging the chair for her?
Didn't everyone hate her and wait for her to die? Why could she have the honor to sit in front?
The maid almost fell to the floor with her soft knees when she heard Huang Ying Yue's word.
Everyone was dumbfounded: "...…."
Did they just hear the arrogant and unruly Third Miss politely thank the lowly maid?
They were too speechless to speak. The hall was quiet, and everyone thought that they were coming to the wrong place.
