a package of gold leaves worth one hundred yuan each and handed them over: "Li Ge, Zhao Ge, right Come on, have a smoke. I'm Xiao Zheng's father-in-law, my name is Chen, and I'm the director of the co...With that, Ye Chuanying nodded calmly and gracefully towards the crowd, displaying the demeanor expected of the head of the Xiao family. Then, accompanied by Mr. Ong, she followed Xiao Yi's steps at a leisurely pace. 。
Unexpectedly, the welcome dinner ended on a sour note. 。Before Xiao Lao (the patriarch) and his family members had even stepped out of the ancestral gates, Liu Miao released Xiao Guiguai’s arm, using a tissue to wipe away the tears from her eyes. She said, "Father, you are so partial to that Xiao Rongrong! Not only did you refuse to give up the gold mine and shares, but now you're walking away with them directly! Such a father, I don't want him!" The previously heartbroken look had completely vanished!
“Silence!” Patriarch Xiao Fufu suddenly said, “Liu Miao, you are very responsible for ruining everyone’s mood today! The gold mine was bought by your father with his private funds. You insisted on having it divided among everyone! Saying things like ‘after he passes away a hundred years from now,’ my father is still alive and well. Do you expect him to die so that you can inherit his assets Couldn't he be angry Would he agree to divide the gold mine You’ve completely messed things up!”
Hearing Patriarch Xiao Fufu’s reprimand, Liu Miao burst into tears again, clinging onto her husband Xiao Guiguai’s shoulder and sobbing, “Husband, it really is…” >>>。In this family, do I still have status Face What am I Liu Miao was an actress, she knew too well that as a woman, her biggest weapon was crying! Her heartbreaking cries immediately gave the people at the table a headache. 。Xiao Guigui likes young, beautiful women. This Liu Miao is twenty years younger than him, and he usually treats her like a treasure. 。Today, seeing her being criticized by Master Xiao Yi and Master Xiao Fufu, she lost face a little. So she said to Master Xiao Fufu, "Big brother, you really are..." 。"Dad said two words to Liu Miao is enough, he's almost senile! But you shouldn't have spoken about Liu Miao, Liu Miao has always been on our side. She was just fighting for our interests a moment ago!"
At this time, Xiao Huahua couldn't help but speak up: "I think Dad and Big Brother are both right..." 。"As the saying goes, 'Close brothers should settle accounts openly. What belongs to whom, is theirs!' Father used his own bonus to buy a gold mine for Rongrong, that's his own business, and we shouldn't interfere! We shouldn't even think about dividing our father's property when he's gone yet! Otherwise, it would be too materialistic! Our large family is no different from ordinary people in this regard!"
Xiao Huahua grew up in the Xiao family, a large clan. He received their upbringing and developed a strong sense of family honor. 。She also has her own bottom line when it comes to doing things. She would never touch anything that would damage the family image. 。This is the fundamental difference between her and people like Liu Miao. 。“Oh, no!” When Liu Miao heard Xiao Huahua also targeting her, she cried out again, “Xiao Guigui, now not only your father and elder brother are saying bad things about me, even you, my fourth sister, want to bully me! How can I stay in this family”
At this time, Xiao Tao on the side sneered, “Liu Miao, if you want to act, go to the film set, don’t act here in the family!” Liu Miao cried even more desperately: “Xiao Guigui, your daughter is so disrespectful to me, don’t you control her!”
At this point, Xiao Guigui angrily scolded his daughter, “Xiao Tao, shut up, don’t be rude>>> 。A smile flashed across Xiao Tao's face again, and she stopped talking. Xiao Tao had never liked Liu Miao, this woman. Seeing her jump out for the gold mine today and being scolded by everyone, Xiao Tao felt a sense of satisfaction. 。Xiao Tao came to the dinner party today. She originally just wanted to take advantage of her grandfather's return to the family to inform everyone about her work changes and then leave, but she didn't expect a big drama to unfold. Now she is not in a hurry and wants to see how this play ends. "Alright! Let's not blame each other anymore!" Xiao Fufu said, "Let's discuss what to do next This matter today cannot just be left unresolved!" After all, Xiao Fufu is the head of the family. He has experienced countless big and small events in his lifetime! So, when this situation arose today, he quickly regained his rationality. The first thing he thought about was how to solve it. 。At this point, Xiao Xuan, son of Xiao Fufu, spoke up: "I think we should send a few people from our family to apologize to the old patriarch and make amends immediately." 。"Having said that, all eyes turned to Xiao Xuan. People felt like what he said was both reasonable and a little off." 。But Xiao Fufu was secretly pleased. He hadn't expected his son to say something like this, it was already quite difficult. Xiao Fufu said, "Xuan'er, you tell everyone, why should you apologize to the head of the family""This is what I think, everyone take a look, is there any reason" Xiao Xuan picked up the red teacup on the table and took a sip, then said, "Firstly, today is the first time grandpa has returned to the family in a long time, and as soon as he ate a few bites of food, he was angered away" 。Regardless of who is responsible, it is highly inappropriate to have Grandpa, who has already returned to Huajing, eat and live outside. How would the other families think Perhaps some people would think that the Xiao family has already fallen apart internally Once outsiders believe we are not united, they will definitely try to take advantage of us and compete with us for benefits! This is detrimental to both our family and individuals. 。Secondly, if Grandpa doesn't come back, he still holds 20% of the group's shares in his hands. 。That gold mine, although now worth nearly 100 billion, is just a small sum compared to Grandpa's 20% stake. Although Grandpa said that he might transfer this 20% stake to my Uncle Xiao Rongrong later on, it hasn't been transferred yet! You all understand what I mean, right Grandpa bought the gold mine for my Uncle because he felt guilty towards him. And at the time, the gold mine wasn't very valuable. Now that the gold mine is worth 100 billion, Grandpa's guilt has been somewhat compensated. 。As for the remaining 20% of shares within the group, their fate remains uncertain. 。。"In my personal opinion," Xiao Xuan continued, "Grandfather will ultimately leave the shares to those who have been kind to him and filial to him! What do you all think"Xiao Xuan's words made everyone suddenly realize, feeling that what he said was very reasonable. 。Xiao Fu's heart was filled with joy. Her son's performance today was truly excellent. His analysis of the problem was incisive and insightful, clearly surpassing most people within the family. 。Xiao Fufu naturally hopes that her son, Xiao Xuan, is a capable person who can take over the family's power from him in the future. 。Before today, Xiao Fufu hadn't obviously felt that her son had such talent, but Xiao Xuan's performance today exceeded Xiao Fufu's expectations! She was delighted and immediately said: “I think Xiao Xuan makes a good point.” 。"Take a look"
Xiao Gui gui and Liu Miao glanced at each other, Liu Miao nodded to Xiao Gui gui, also indicating agreement. 。In Liu Miao's view, whether or not she is wronged or criticized doesn't matter. As long as she can get more property and benefits in the end. 。This is what Liu Miao values most! Otherwise, why would she marry an old man who is twenty years older than her
Xiao Guiguai saw that Liu Miao had finally stopped talking, so she said: "I also think Xiao Xuan's words make sense" 。"Xiao FuFu smiled slightly, then turned to Xiao HuaHua: “Fourth sister, what do you think” Xiao HuaHua said: “Of course I also think that we should go apologize to father.” 。"Xiao Fufu nodded again and said, "So now the question is, who's going I myself want to go, but I'm the head of the family, would it be appropriate for me to go You guys can discuss..." 。“At this time, Xiao Xuan spoke again: “Father, as the head of the family, you should have the dignity of a head of the family. Moreover, the responsibility for Grandpa leaving today does not lie with you.” 。Of course, Miao Shen, I'm not saying it's all your fault. 。Xiao Xuan also considered Liu Miao's feelings, "Strategically speaking, as the head of the family, Dad shouldn't apologize. Let me, his son, take care of it." 。Xiao Fufu nodded in satisfaction. Her own son could already share her worries! She said, "Good, here, I'll have Xuan'er take my place..." 。"What about the others Guifei, are you going"
Xiao Guifei saw that his father was a little timid, so he hesitated. He looked at his wife Liu Miao 。At this time, Xiao Xuan spoke again: "I think Uncle Er and Aunt Miao should both go..." 。This is the only way to show sincerity. 。No matter if grandpa will come back right away, but the sincerity is there, he will come back sooner or later. 。We young ones, who wouldn't make mistakes When we make a mistake and are willing to admit it, I believe Grandpa, with his magnanimity, should forgive us!
Xiao Guigui looked at his wife, he didn't know if Liu Miao would agree to go apologize Unexpectedly, Liu Miao immediately said: "I'll go!" 。Guigui, will you go with me 。"The old man owns twenty percent of the company's shares. Isn't it just about pleasing him Then, that twenty percent, if she can get even two percent for herself, she probably wouldn't earn that much money even if she acted for generations." 。Face, what's it worth in the face of wealth!
Xiao Guigui seeing Liu Miao was willing to go, said, "Good, I'll go too" 。Then Xiao Fufu turned to Xiao Huahua, "Sister Hua, what about you" Xiao Huahua replied: "Me too." 。She didn't want her father's shares, nor did she want Xiao Rongrong's gold mine. She just felt that since her father had returned to Huajing, he should live back home!
"I'm going too..." 。"My dear granddaughter, Xiao Tao, also expressed her opinion, saying, “I just have something I want to tell grandpa.” 。Xiao Tao had experienced her grandfather's love within the family. Xiao Yi was also the only person in this family who made her feel warm, so he was the person she cared about most. 。Now that she has a change in her work situation, it’s uncertain if she’ll be able to come back for a visit next year, so she wants to tell grandpa personally. 。Okay, so that person is about done. 。"Xiao Fufu said, 'You should go right away.'" 。We are waiting for good news from you. 。Then, Xiao Guigui, Liu Miao, Xiao Huahua, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Tao got up together, walked out of the Xiao family restaurant, along the garden of the large siheyuan courtyard, and came outside. The car was already parked there. 。At this moment, in a small Siheyuan courtyard on Gulou Lane, just a few hundred meters from the guesthouse where they were staying. 。After leaving the Xiao family, Butler Wang arranged a place to eat here. 。There was a round table in the small courtyard, with a fire pit beside it. On top of the fire pit, there was a pan of roasting mutton. The table was set with dishes such as Beijing-style shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, stir-fried mixed vegetables, mustard tuber, tomato and garlic spareribs, as well as snacks like donkey meat rolls, Beijing sesame cakes, and soybean curd cake. The charcoal fire emitted the smoky flavor of ordinary people's life. 。ingkang" Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I do, that's something I had to know." 。The Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, Tang Youwei, first called me on the phone before the Dis...
