Xu Family territory, main hall.
After leaving the venue, Su Ming noticed that Xu Wen, the esteemed head of the Xu Family, was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Qianqian, however, was not surprised. Instead, she seemed accustomed to it and took Su Ming with her to the top floor of the main hall.
There was an extremely spacious study here.
The study was much larger than Xu Yongfeng's. Its furnishings and layout were not as novel as those in Xu Yongfeng's study. Instead, they carried an ancient, historical feel. Every piece of furniture looked like an antique, and it was obvious that this arrangement would appeal to someone of considerable age.
Xu Wen had arrived here at some point and was quietly waiting for Su Ming and Xu Qianqian.
Gao Xu and Xu Yanyan had arrived first. They stood to one side, watching the two enter without showing the slightest abnormality.
Xu Yanyan in particular was no longer as hostile, sarcastic, and affected when she saw Xu Qianqian. Instead, she seemed docile and quiet.
Seeing Xu Yanyan like this, Su Ming could not help sighing inwardly.
As expected, women are born actresses.
In front of Xu Wen, the Xu Family head, Xu Yanyan seemed afraid to act recklessly. She even gave Xu Qianqian a friendly smile as she entered. Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought the two had an excellent relationship.
Perhaps that was precisely why the Xu Family head did not know that his own granddaughters had engaged in a brutal fight to the death not long ago.
Naturally, Xu Qianqian would not put on an act like Xu Yanyan.
She ignored Xu Yanyan's feigned demeanor and came straight before Xu Wen, staring directly at him as though silently asking him something.
