NOVEL SIMPLE Knocking on the door as a matter of courtesy, Murong Qingyan directly pushed open the door and went in before the person inside responded.
Flying towards her face was the paperweight made of jade. She would have run into bumps and bruises if hit against it.
For average people, given that they knew clearly who throwing things at them was, they would probably neither dodge nor had the guts to dodge. However, Murong Qingyan was no such fool. She dodged about in a skilful way and managed to escape the “hidden weapon” which attacked her head-on.
“Murong Qingyan, how dare you dash into the study without my permission? You know, you are risking your life!”
Murong Xiong had been in a mood before, and Murong Qingyan’s deliberate shunning drove him to intense fury.
“Aren’t you, the head of our family, the one who asked me over?” Murong Qingyan turned a deaf ear to his anger, “Is it possible that any member of the family dare to handle affairs in your name? If indeed, it’s absolutely necessary to look into it. We can’t connive at evil things, by any means.”
“Shut up, Murong Qingyan!” Hearing the nonsense she uttered, Murong Xiong was seething with anger, “How dare you talk rubbish in my presence? Have you shown the slightest respect for me, the family head? ”
“It seems that it was you who asked me round!” Careless and casual, Murong Qingyan went in slowly and seated herself with no gesture of respect, “I wonder why you called me over today?”
“You—” Murong Xiong became incandescent with rage.
Head of a large family, he was sophisticated enough to calm down very soon.
When tempers had cooled, Murong Xiong suddenly found that something was wrong. Rasing his head, he cast a glance at Murong Qingyan who sat there in an indifferent way and his eyes grew wide in astonishment as if the person before him was not his granddaughter but a stranger.
Murong Qingyan also spotted his change, but she remained as what she was like and flashed a smile, “I don’t suppose you asked me over just to have a look at me! If this is the case, I would be overwhelmingly flattered!”
“Who the hell are you?” Murong Xiong kept a sharp eye on the girl right in front of him.
Her ugly face remained unchanged, and even the birthmark on her face were exactly alike. Besides, any motion of Mysterious Forces couldn’t be felt within her body as before. However, the timidity and weakness Murong Qingyan had displayed in the past was totally gone, and an air of quiet confidence overwhelmed her instead.
Looking at such a different Murong Qingyan, Murong Xiong had to doubt whether the person here was the girl who even dared not speak in a high voice before?
“Who am I?” Murong Qingyan didn’t shrink from his penetrating look in the slightest. Instead, she gazed straight ahead, “Aren’t you clear about this? Perhaps I should say that the whole family is totally clear about it. After all, I have been a disgrace to Murong family, by which everyone must be deeply impressed!”
“Are you really Murong Qingyan?” There was obvious suspicion in the tone of Murong Xiong.
“Ho, ho! Aren’t you able to recognize who I am?” Murong Qingyan smiled with heavy sarcasm, “It seems that I was, in your eyes, exactly an inconspicuous being!”
