Night falls.

The Cao family’s family dinner has also begun!

The entire Cao family is quite noisy. Many senior members of the Cao family have gathered here to discuss recent events. Tonight, some members of the Cao family branch have been called back to participate in this family banquet!

Cao Shuang's return home today is a good thing for the Cao family!

When Cao Shuang appeared in the living room, some senior executives stood up and walked over on their own initiative.

"Miss, are you back?"

"Yes, miss, long time no see!"

Seeing so many elders in the family, a smile appeared on Cao Shuang's face, and he immediately raised his hands and said, "Uncles and uncles, Cao Shuang wishes to greet you!"

"Hahaha, Miss Cao Shuang is the star of tonight's family dinner, please take a seat at the top of the table!"

Cao Shuang nodded. She was not shy and walked directly towards the main seat. She could at least feel a little warmth here.

Sitting on the main seats were the core senior members of the Cao family, Cao Wudi, Cao Lengfeng and others.

Seeing Cao Shuang coming over, Cao Lengfeng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little distressed... If they had the strength to fight against the main line of the Cao family, then Cao Shuang wouldn't need to hide around.

"Father, grandpa, grandma." Cao Shuang shouted.

"Shuang'er!"

Cao Wudi stood up with a smile, invited Cao Shuang to his side, and said with a smile, "Shuang'er, you will sit next to me tonight."

Cao Shuang was a little surprised, and immediately said, "Grandpa, isn't the seat next to you where the head of the family sits? I'm not qualified to sit, right?"

Cao Lengfeng said, "Shuang'er, just sit down if your grandfather asks you to. Besides, I am only a daughter like you. Sooner or later you will be the head of the Cao family."

Cao Shuang frowned slightly. She always felt that her grandfather and father were a little weird tonight, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

Even if she comes back, there is no need for the Cao family to hold a family dinner, right?

The Cao family usually only holds family banquets when announcing important events or when there is a big happy event.

Today was just her return to the Cao family to visit her relatives. There was no need to make it so grand, right?

After Cao Shuang took his seat, Cao Wudi picked up a glass of wine and said loudly, "Everyone, Shuang'er is back tonight, let's enjoy it!"

"good!"

The whole living room immediately became lively.

Cao Shuang frowned slightly as she sat in her seat, she still felt something was not right!

After Cao Wudi sat down, Cao Shuang immediately asked, "Grandpa, why are you holding this family banquet tonight?"

Cao Wudi smiled and said, "Shuang'er, eat something first."

Cao Shuang shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you must have something to say, right?"

The smile on Cao Wudi's face slowly solidified, and then he sighed and said, "Shuang'er, please follow me out first."

Cao Shuang nodded, her hunch was indeed correct.

Cao Shuang and Cao Wudi temporarily left the living room and came to the inner hall.

The smile on Cao Wudi's face gradually disappeared and he said, "Shuang'er, not long after you came back, we received a piece of news from the main line of the Cao family."

"The main line of the Cao family? It's the main line of the Cao family again!" Cao Shuang's eyes were a little disappointed. She didn't expect that she would be discovered by someone from the main line of the Cao family just one day after she came back.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving now!" Cao Shuang's body trembled slightly, and there was a bit more determination in his eyes.

"No need." Cao Wudi shook his head and said, "The person coming from the main line of the Cao family this time is very important, and we can't avoid it."

"It's not trivial?" Cao Shuang frowned and asked, "Could it be that it's not Cao Yan?"

Cao Wudi sneered and said, "If it was just Cao Yan, I wouldn't have to do this, but today's news is indeed sent by the head of the Cao family, Cao Shengtian! He is also your great grandfather."

"Cao Shengtian, the head of the Cao family?" Cao Shuang has naturally heard of this name. He is the head of the Cao family.

"What...what did he say?" Cao Shuang asked.

Cao Wudi sighed and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Li family was exterminated not long ago. This time Cao Shengtian personally stepped out and claimed that he would come to our branch, personally take you back to the main line, and accept you as a retreat disciple!"

"Accept me as a retreating disciple?"

Cao Wudi nodded.

If this happened in the past, it would definitely be a great thing, but now the situation is special and the relationship between the branch and the main line is so tense. It is definitely not a good thing for Cao Shengtian to come now!

Cao Wudi continued, "If my guess is correct, they probably want to take you away, and their intentions are naturally clear!

Cao Shuang nodded, she knew what this meant!

The dark group had just destroyed the Li family, and now the head of the Cao family suddenly said that he would accept Cao Shuang as a closed disciple. On the one hand, it was to please the dark group and ease the relationship, and on the other hand, it might also be to threaten Ning Cheng.

Although the current relationship between Cao Shuang and Ning Cheng is not clear, but based on the level of information communication of the main Cao family, some suspicions should be able to be investigated!

So Cao Shengtian came today.

Cao Shuang is now in a dilemma. She suddenly regrets why she came back today. If she had not come back, then the people in the main line of the Cao family would not have heard about it. Now if she leaves, she will undoubtedly not give Cao Shengtian face!

This is the head of the Cao family!

Once he gets angry, it is very likely to affect the branch. When the time comes, if Cao Shuang alone causes something to happen to his own people, Cao Shuang will never be able to do it.

"I...what should I do?" Cao Shuang clenched her fists in confusion, and the figure of Ning Cheng suddenly appeared in her mind.

"No...not anymore..."

Just when Cao Shuang was struggling, a pair of warm palms gently patted her head.

Cao Shuang's eyes flashed, and when he raised his head, he saw that it was his grandfather.

When Cao Wudi saw the tears in Cao Shuang's eyes, his heart ached. He suppressed the roar in his heart and helped Cao Shuang wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Shuang'er, it's okay. Grandpa is still here. You don't have to leave. This is your home. No one can take you away, not even the main lineage of the Cao family!"

Cao Wudi looked at Cao Shuang with his eyes full of heartache. It was all because of his incompetence that the current situation was created.

He thought that as long as he endured it, the main line of the Cao family might let Cao Shuang go.

But now it seems that what you have been waiting for is not letting go, it may also be getting worse!

Seemingly seeing the roar in Cao Wudi's eyes, Cao Shuang asked, "Grandpa, what do you want?"

"How about it?" Cao Wudi sneered and said, "If Cao Shengtian still thinks about the same bloodline today, then there is still room for resolution. But if he insists on doing this, then our Cao family branch will officially join in

Breaking away from the main line, they will take their Yangguan Road from now on, and we will cross our single-plank bridge!"
