The backyard of the Xiao family's mansion is a back garden, which is built according to the pattern of Suzhou gardens. There are rockery fish ponds, winding paths and pavilions, and the lush trees create a unique sense of tranquility.
Yan Ruyu walked to the back garden, stood on a pavilion, grabbed a few handfuls of fish food and threw it into the pond. More than a dozen brightly colored goldfish came to snatch them, playing in the water and rejoicing. The fish in the pond were free, and she But he is worried.
"Yu'er——"
At this time, a gentle call came, and Yan Ruyu turned around and saw her mother, Shen Rou, walking over.
"Mom, why are you here? Have you finished eating?" Yan Ruyu went up to help Shen Rou.
"Mom saw you were in a bad mood, so she came out to see you. Besides, I'm full." Shen Rou smiled and said, "Yu'er, I know it's been a hard time for you. Mom and your dad also looked for her. Your grandfather, but-"
"Mom, stop talking. I know all this." Yan Ruyu said quickly.
"Normally, your father is grieving and complaining about himself, but the daughter he gave birth to cannot give her the happiness she chose. Mom feels uncomfortable seeing you like this. Yu'er, it's your mother's fault for giving birth to you. But it can't make you happy." Shen Rou said, her eyes gradually becoming moist.
"Mom, don't say these things. I know you and Dad both miss me. Don't worry, your daughter will get well." Yan Ruyu comforted her softly.
"How do you get better? If you really marry into the Su family, then you won't get better. When you said you were going to the capital, your father and I both agreed. We just thought that you would go to the capital to escape. Maybe this The matter has passed. Who knew that the Su family would not give up. And your grandfather had no choice. After all, he did not want to watch the industry he founded sink into decline. This is related to the prosperity of the Yan family. ." Shen Rou said.
"I also know how hard Grandpa has worked so hard. Grandpa loves me so much, and he wouldn't be willing to force me like this unless he was forced to do so. Mom, don't worry about me. Maybe things will turn around." Yan Ruyu said comfortingly.
"Yu'er, is what you said true? What will happen?" Shen Rou's face lit up after hearing this and she couldn't help but ask.
Yan Ruyu nodded, but did not specify the reason. She just called softly in her heart: Futu, where are you? Can you hear my voice now?
Yan Ruyu and her mother Shen Rou stood in the back garden for a while and then walked back to the main hall. At this time, Mr. Yan and the others had already finished breakfast. After seeing Yan Ruyu, Mr. Yan said: "Ruyu, you Come with me, I have something to tell you."
"Yeah!" Yan Ruyu responded.
Immediately, Mr. Yan stood up, and Yan Ruyu walked behind Mr. Yan.
As she walked, a heavy feeling spread in Yan Ruyu's heart. Her whole body felt extremely heavy, and her legs seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pieces and it was difficult to move forward.
Walking in front is her respected and beloved grandfather. She still remembers that when she went north to the capital, her grandfather's waist was still straight, but now it is a little rickety and he looks more and more old.
This also made Yan Ruyu feel a little heartache in her heart.
If he hadn't worked so hard for the prosperity of the family, would grandpa have aged so quickly? If there was someone beside him who could support the entire family, then grandpa wouldn't be so worried, right?
But, do I have to exchange my life's happiness for the hope of this family's prosperity?
Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Yan took Yan Ruyu into the study room where he usually read. This also showed that he was chatting with Yan Ruyu in a business-like manner. If it was just for a casual chat, he would take Yan Ruyu to his room.
"Ruyu, grandpa hasn't talked to you in the study for a long time, right? You can sit down." Mr. Yan said.
Yan Ruyu sat down obediently, cleaned the Kung Fu tea set, and then used water from a thermos bottle to make tea.
Mr. Yan looked at his most beloved granddaughter in front of him, at her skillful tea-making skills, and at her quiet and well-behaved appearance. He sighed softly and said, "Ruyu, grandpa knows what's in your heart."
I feel wronged. I also know the hardships you have suffered from working hard in the capital all these years. I also know that your purpose of going north to the capital is to escape from this matter. Grandpa understands you and feels sorry for you. A woman can only choose the person she likes.
Only when we are together can we be happy, but grandpa has to advise you on this matter."
Yan Ruyu remained silent, pinching a handful of West Lake Longjing tea that had the first buds before the Spring and Qingming Festival with her slender fingers, and gently put it into the purple cinnabar pot. After pouring a small amount of water to wash the tea, she poured boiling water into it.
Men in Suzhou and Hangzhou love to drink tea, and women in Suzhou and Hangzhou are good at making good tea. Although her mood is extremely heavy at this time, Yan Ruyu's tea-making posture is elegant and elegant, and her movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes her forget the vulgarity.
"We are in the second generation of the Yan family. Your father gave up business and became a literary scholar and did not want to do business; but your second uncle is not a successful person. Several mistakes in decision-making have caused our family's business to be in trouble now. It has reached a stage.
It’s a life-or-death situation that urgently needs to be reversed. And your father only gave birth to one child like you. Your second uncle gave birth to two boys, Yuxuan and Yuming. But look at Yuxuan, he is simply an uneducated and ignorant playboy.
I know that if you ask for money, you will succeed more than you will lose. As for Yuming, who is still studying and is still a child. Speaking of which, you are the most capable one. Grandpa had full hopes for you, but you went to the capital alone to develop your own career."
Mr. Yan spoke.
Yan Ruyu did not speak, but listened carefully. She poured Mr. Yan a cup of hot West Lake Longjing and sat aside to listen.
"The current situation in Suzhou and Hangzhou is that the major families cling to each other. In the past, our Yan family could be regarded as an old family. But with the strong rise of some new families, and the decline of our Yan family,
Nowadays, our Yan family has to bow to some emerging families. Why can these emerging families rise? That is because they unite with each other to gain the greatest benefits, and then divide the benefits." Mr. Yan continued,
He added, "Among the old families in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are several families that are becoming more and more powerful and unabated. The Su family is one of them. I have put my old face on many times to see Su Weixiong, hoping to unite with the Su family.
However, Su Weixiong’s meaning is very clear. If our Yan family and Su family are in-laws, then it is natural for us to join forces."
"I know what Su Weixiong means. He just wants you, Ruyu, to be his granddaughter-in-law. Speaking of which, this old man likes you very much. If we want to open up the current situation of the Yan family and get back on our feet, we can only unite with the Su family.
.Ruyu, I know this will wrong you. If there is any other way, grandpa is not willing to be this evil person. But as the head of the Yan family, my responsibilities must continue, and I have to do it for the next person.
The descendants of the Yan family have paved the way for one generation or the next. The ancestors of the Yan family have handed over these properties to me, and I cannot watch the Yan family lose at my hands, do you understand?"
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes, looked at Mr. Yan, and said softly: "So, I will use my own happiness to exchange for the important responsibility of the development of this family, and I will be sacrificed, right? I am going to attend Mr. Su's seventh birthday.
On my tenth birthday, let everyone know that I will become the woman of the Su family?"
"Ruyu, grandpa, I don't ask you to forgive me. I just hope you can understand me." Mr. Yan picked up the cup handed over by Yan Ruyu. The tea was fragrant, but he couldn't swallow it for a long time.
"I understand. But who can understand me?" Yan Ruyu sighed softly.
Mr. Yan was silent for a long time, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Get ready later. Dress decently, and go with your second uncle and second aunt to congratulate Su Weixiong on his birthday. I won't be sick if I'm not feeling well."
went."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. She nodded gently, stood up and exited Mr. Yan's study.
Just as she closed the door to the study, Mr. Yan in the study let out a long sigh, with old tears appearing in his muddy old eyes.
…
Around six o'clock in the afternoon.
A dusty Range Rover entered the urban area of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
“Brother, we’ve arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou!”
There were five people sitting in the car, and the driver was a man with a strong physique and as tall as a mountain, it was Lei Zi.
Li Futu was sitting in the passenger seat. After hearing this, he raised his eyes, looked at the city in front of him, and murmured: "Ruyu, here I come!"
"Brother, where should we go first?" Lei Zi asked again.
Li Futu turned to look at Xue Lang sitting in the rear driver's seat and said, "Brother Xue Lang, let's go to your place first. I want what I want now."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll show you the way." Xue Lang said.
Then, under Xue Lang's instructions, Lei Zi drove quickly as Xue Lang pointed out, and finally came to a villa away from the urban area.
Someone was guarding this villa. When they saw Lei Zi driving in, a dozen or twenty people rushed out and stared at them all with vigilant eyes.
At this time, the car window opened, and Xue Lang stuck his head out and roared: "Are you fucking blind? Get out of here!"
"Boss? It's the boss. The boss is back!"
"It's really the boss. Quick, tell the brothers that the boss is back!"
After those people saw the face of the Blood Wolf clearly, they all screamed with joy. Obviously, these people were members of the Blood Wolf Association.
The car door opened, Li Futu and Lei Zi got out of the car first, and then Yan Chilong and Gu Fei walked out together looking at Xuelang.
"Boss, you're back!" said a man standing with a gloomy look.
"Lao San, are you all okay, brothers?" Xue Lang looked at the man and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all okay." This man is the third person in the Blood Wolf Society, his name is Fierce Wolf, and he is also a ruthless character.
"These four are my saviors. You go and book a private room in a five-star hotel. I will personally entertain these four saviors." Xue Lang said.
"No need. Brother Xue Lang, I want what I want now." Li Futu came over, looked at Xue Lang with burning eyes, and said.
