Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Liu Zongyun Attends the Birthday Banquet!
Many guests were rubbing their eyes desperately, staring at the man in the wheelchair.
They only saw Xu Yunye pushing the wheelchair closer with a cold face.
Though thin, Liu Zongyun’s features still showed the vigorous spirit of his past.
The sound of discussion was everywhere.
“It is really him! This is a medical miracle, who would have thought that a man in a vegetative state for over twenty years could wake up.”
“Don’t you find it strange? What exactly did President Huo mean by what he said just now? Could Liu Zongyun still be helping him collect debts? Ridiculous, that’s the Liu Family.”
“Liu Zongyun seems to be in good spirits. It seems the apprentice of the National Doctor Cheng Han is indeed well-deserved!”
Hearing their words, Xu Guangyao and Xu Xingluo’s faces turned pale, still in shock!
The father and daughter exchanged glances, feeling a chilling coldness creeping up their backs!
The doctors said that Liu Zongyun’s health was very poor, that he couldn’t even move. But there he was, sitting in his wheelchair, his complexion rosy, not at all like someone about to die!
They felt a chill down their spines, both having an extremely bad premonition.
Old Mrs. Liu staggered over to the wheelchair and asked with concern, “Zongyun, the doctor said your health isn’t good, why did you still insist on coming over? Such a crowded place is not good for you.”
Liu Huimin also looked at him with distress, “Second brother, although this is Xingluo’s first birthday party, you don’t have to indulge her so much, specially coming to participate.”
Liu Zongyun’s eyes hid a deep dark color as he looked around at the thousands of guests at the scene.
Some faces were familiar, some he had never seen before.
He had been out of touch with Haicheng’s high society for more than twenty years and was disconnected from the entire era. The arrangement of the banquet and the venue were enough to show how much Xu Xingluo was valued.
How wonderful!
He had finally taken this step.
Liu Zongyun raised his eyes, looking deeply into the crowd at Xu Xingluo.
Xu Xingluo’s scalp tingled, and she could hardly steady herself. Her voice trembled as she forced a smile, “It is my honor that Second Uncle could come to my birthday banquet. I’m really glad!”
Liu Zongyun’s hoarse voice slowly rose, saying, “Are you… truly glad from the bottom of your heart?”
Every word was clear, every sentence coherent.
Thunderous!
The Liu Family erupted with joy, “Zongyun, you’ve actually recovered your speech! Good, very good! This is a joyous occasion for our Liu Family, today is truly a day of triple happiness!”
Xu Xingluo heard a buzzing in her ears, her legs as heavy as if filled with lead, rooted to the spot.
This cannot be!
She and her father had prepared thoroughly, how could this happen!
Liu Zongyun spoke softly, “Xingluo, Guangyao, come here.”
His voice sounded like a reaper from hell, commanding their souls, and the father and daughter turned deathly pale, their legs trembling!
They did not move an inch!
As if they had not heard Liu Zongyun speak at all.
Liu Yi, a quick-witted cousin from the Liu Family, fetched a microphone and said to Liu Zongyun, “Uncle, your voice is too soft for them to hear. I’ll hold the microphone for you, just say whatever you want. You must have lots to say after holding it in for more than twenty years.”
His actions were very considerate.
Liu Zongyun thanked him with a look.
“Xingluo, come here.”
Liu Zongyun’s voice, amplified by the microphone, echoed throughout the banquet hall, making Xu Xingluo feel as if she had been struck by lightning.
This was King Yan calling her name.
Liu Huimin gently nudged Xu Xingluo, reminding her, “Hurry over. Your Second Uncle loves you, he must have prepared a gift for you especially. Don’t keep him waiting, go to his side quickly.”
Xu Xingluo’s smile was strained as she shuffled her trembling body, moving to stand beside Liu Zongyun.
“Second Uncle.”
Liu Zongyun asked, “Are you happy that I came to your birthday party? I remember you saying in the hospital room… that if I could come, it would be the best birthday gift for you, right?”
Xu Xingluo broke out in a cold sweat, the sticky sweat moistening the broken hairs at her forehead.
Her nerves taut, her heartbeat almost halted: “Yes, I am very delighted.”
“Then why do I see you about to cry?” Liu Zongyun’s blood boiled with loathing and disdain for Xu Guangyao and his daughter, and the closer the moment came, the more he wanted to savor their tension, their fear.
Desperation.
A dying struggle.
Just like those he once endured.
When they ruthlessly dealt with him, did they ever consider they might face such a day themselves?
At this moment, he was the master of their fates, the blade hanging over their necks ready to fall at his discretion.
Liu Huimin stood beside Xu Xingluo, speaking in her defense: “Second brother, Xingluo must simply be too excited! She even told me that as long as you could awaken, she would be willing to shorten her life by ten or twenty years. This child is just so filial…”
She wiped away the tears of emotion in her eyes, her heart filled with happiness.
“Shorten her life?”
Liu Zongyun looked at Xu Xingluo, “Do you really wish to shorten your life for me? The gods above us might have heard your plea.”
Xu Xingluo, with a rather weak capacity for psychological stress, was scared to the point of having her legs go weak, and she was nearly about to fall.
Liu Zongyun let out a contemptuous laugh, one that concealed deep suffering.
He said to the solemn-faced Xu Guangyao, “Guangyao, we haven’t spoken in over twenty years. Come here, let’s talk.”
“Second brother,” Xu Guangyao called out dryly.
He thought Liu Zongyun, having regained his ability to speak, was seeking him for retribution, but now Liu Zongyun’s actions baffled him.
Xu Guangyao felt that every minute and second was agony, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into to escape everything.
“Come here!” Liu Zongyun shouted.
“Yes, second brother.”
Xu Guangyao walked over with heavy steps and said, “Second brother, you have just recovered. How about we go back to the hospital? We can talk privately, okay?”
He looked pleadingly at Liu Zongyun.
“Second brother, there are so many people here. The entire Liu family, young and old, they will… they won’t be able to handle it. Second brother, can we talk about it later?”
His eyes brimmed with tears, the picture of abjection.
Liu Zongyun cracked a light smile and chuckled twice, “Talk later in the hospital, when I might not be able to speak anymore? Guangyao, you really are… quite something.”
Xu Guangyao shook his head, almost ready to kneel and beg him: “Second brother, you are tired. Let’s go back to the hospital, okay?”
As long as Liu Zongyun didn’t speak now, anything was fine. Once out of the banquet hall, even if it was a murder full of holes, he would commit it!
The truth of twenty-two years ago couldn’t be laid bare in front of everyone!
But Liu Zongyun chose such a grand occasion for this purpose.
Watching Xu Guangyao beg like a dog, Liu Zongyun felt a mix of discomfort and satisfaction: “Kneel.”
“Yes.”
Xu Guangyao knelt before him, “Second brother, whatever has happened over these twenty years… wait until you understand before you decide, okay?”
Don’t speak!
Liu Zongyun lifted his eyes and gestured for Xu Xingluo to come closer: “You, too, come here.”
Xu Xingluo instinctively took a half step back, but still, under the gaze of the crowd, she walked to Liu Zongyun like a puppet on strings and knelt down.

“Second uncle, you can make any request you like!” Her heart seemed ready to leap out of her throat, and her delicate makeup was spoiled by sweat.
Liu Zongyun raised his hand, the veins on the back of it standing out!
Slap!
Slap!
Slap slap!
A succession of slaps landed on the faces of Xu Xingluo and Xu Guangyao, leaving their cheeks red and swollen.
And it left all the guests present dumbfounded!
