At about half past seven, Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yihe slowly came downstairs. Looking at their condition, it seemed that they both had insomnia, especially Xiao Yihe. The dark circles under his eyes were almost as big as those of pandas. Fortunately, they had long
He must be handsome and his flaws cannot hide his virtues.
"Mommy, Daddy, morning, uncle and aunt."
Xiao Yihe said hello and sat down in the empty seat next to Xiao Siluo.
When Xiao Yiheng came back last night, all the adults had gone to bed. This was the first time they had met in more than a month.
"Daddy, mommy, uncle, aunt, good morning. I had something to do last night and didn't make it back for dinner. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just sit down and have breakfast."
Xiao Yingxi said that they were all equally happy about these children, and sometimes good outsiders couldn't figure out whose child it was.
"Hmph, nothing is so important that I can't even make it back in time for the family gathering. Yichen knows how to call home. As for you, it was Xiaodai who called you before we knew you couldn't make it back."
Xiao Yingze said with a sullen face, because of the special nature of their family, Xiao Yingze and Mas Nian have always attached great importance to family gatherings.
After being scolded by his father, Xiao Yiheng, who usually spoke his mind outside, did not dare to refute even a single word. Although Xiao Yingze was always cheerful towards his daughter, don't forget that back then, he was a smiling tiger in the business world. Those methods, even if
After so many years, those who have interacted with Xiao Yingze still shudder when they think of it.
"Okay, okay, Yiheng is a kid who has always been very measured. If there wasn't something he couldn't get away from, how could he not be able to come back in time? Yiheng, please sit down and have breakfast."
Mas Nian said, the only person in this family who could make Xiao Yingze not embarrass Xiao Yiheng was Mas Nian, the elder brother.
No, when Masnian said this, Xiao Yingze stopped talking and just snorted angrily.
Xiao Yiheng sat down next to Xiao Yihe, and he said something to Mas young.
"Thank you, uncle."
"This child, as a family, what are you thankful for? Let's eat quickly."
Afterwards, there was a lot of fun in the restaurant. Xiao Muyou hurriedly left the villa after breakfast. Xiao Siluo saw that it was still early, so he went upstairs to change clothes and put on light makeup, and then went downstairs to play with his mobile phone in the living room.
At this time, Lu Ziyou's voice came from the restaurant.
"Yiheng, this time Mommy and Daddy came to Kyoto. Firstly, they want to attend your Grandpa Mu's birthday. In addition, they also want to discuss with you your marriage to Ximu. It's been almost two years since you were engaged, and you're already quite old.
, it’s time to get married. We discussed it with Ximu’s parents a few days ago. After you get married, Ximu will come back from a troupe abroad. It just so happens that the National Ballet here in Kyoto intends to let her come back as the prima donna.
Then you won’t have to live separately in two places.”
As soon as Lu Ziyou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the restaurant instantly became solemn. Even Xiao Siluo, who was playing with his mobile phone in the living room, looked towards the living room.
At this time, I saw Xiao Yiheng put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, his face was cold, and he said something in a low voice.
"We'll talk about this later. I've been busy lately and will be staying in the city tonight. Parents, uncles, and aunts, please take your time. I still have something to do at the company, so I'll go to the company first."
Xiao Yiheng didn't want to discuss the matter between himself and Han Ximu at this moment. His heart was full of Mo Xi's eyes. As long as the helpless and desperate look in Mo Xi's eyes in the hospital last night flashed through his mind, Xiao Yiheng's heart would clench together.
After Xiao Yiheng finished speaking, he stood up to leave the restaurant. At this time, there was a bang behind him, and Xiao Yingze threw his chopsticks on the table angrily. He was not angry with Xiao Yiheng for refusing to discuss his marriage to Han Ximu, but angry with him for treating Lu Ziyou.
manner.
"Stop, Xiao Yiheng, what's your attitude? We talk to you about your marriage again, and you respond to us with this attitude. Are your wings stiff?"
Xiao Yingze rarely gets angry in these years, but when it comes to his wife, he can't control his violent temper.
When Xiao Yiheng heard this, he hesitated in his steps and wanted to leave, but he knew very well that if he left now, it would not be good for anyone.
Fortunately, Xiao Yingxi on the side spoke to calm the atmosphere.
"Second brother, please don't be angry. Now the affairs of Yaohua Media are all on Yiheng alone. Maybe there is something urgent."
"Luoluo, just help this kid speak up. He is already twenty-eight, and he has been engaged to that child of the Han family for almost two years. If Ziyou and I hadn't taken it seriously, I'm afraid he wouldn't have even mentioned it until he was thirty.
About marriage."
When Xiao Yingxi spoke, Xiao Yingze's anger finally subsided. Lu Ziyou on the side also patted Xiao Yingze's hand, and then looked at his son.
A child is better than a mother. For more than a year, although Xiao Yiheng never talked about herself and Han Ximu in front of them, as a parent, you can always see some problems. How can there be an unmarried couple who barely see each other after getting engaged?
"Yiheng, please sit down first. Mom has something she wants to know."
Xiao Yiheng hesitated for a moment, and finally Xiao Yihe pulled him to sit down.
"Yiheng, was it because of Han Xichen that you and Ximu got engaged?"
Sure enough, even if the children hide it, it is impossible for the parents to know everything.
Although Han Ximu was often around Xiao Yiheng back then, how could parents not see clearly their son's feelings? If Xiao Yiheng had any feelings for Han Ximu, it was at most because of Han Xichen's relationship. After all, Xiao Yiheng and Han Xichen were very good brothers back then.
Xiao Yiheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but then nodded and said.
"Mommy, I owe this to Xichen. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am now. At that time, the Han family was almost bankrupt. Han Ximu found me and begged me to save the Han family. I couldn't ignore death."
"So, you agreed to get engaged to Han Ximu. With the protection of the Xiao family, the Han family can survive the crisis, right?"
Xiao Yiheng nodded again. He thought that his family would not know about these things. After all, his family had never traded marriage.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I hid it from you."
"Hey, there's nothing I'm sorry about. This is all your own business, but Yiheng, haven't you ever thought about getting married after getting engaged? In the past few months, there have been many rumors outside. After you and Han Ximu got engaged,
We have never appeared together in public, and we rarely appear at the Han family, which has caused a lot of speculation."
Lu Ziyou hit the point directly. If it were an ordinary family, no one would pay attention to their engagement and marriage. But they are the Xiao family, the richest man in Luo City, and they are also ranked among the richest people in the country. The marriage of children from a family like theirs
, then it is not only a private matter between two people, but also involves the interests of all parties, especially the two companies.
How could Xiao Yiheng not know that, so for more than a year, he had been careful and tried to distance himself from Han Ximu so that he could find an excuse to break off the engagement due to emotional discord.
"Mom, Han Ximu and I made an agreement when we were engaged. Two years later, we would get together less and stay apart more, and our relationship would weaken. You don't need to care about the opinions of the outside world. As long as I don't have image problems, the company will not
will be affected in any way.”
This was one of the reasons why he didn't dare to approach Mo Xi at first. If he was photographed by reporters, it would not only affect his image, but also make Mo Xi suffer the stigma of meddling in people's feelings.
But some feelings are too strong and cannot be controlled by Xiao Yiheng. In addition, Mo Xi mentioned the matter of his fiancée that night, and he thought Mo Xi didn't know about it. Therefore, Xiao Yiheng now desperately hopes to terminate the engagement with the Han family as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, before this matter was mentioned, the Han family actually requested a wedding.
Xiao Yiheng's words condensed the air in the restaurant again. Lu Ziyou sighed softly. Xiao Yingze's face was gloomy. He wanted to beat his son. How could he treat marriage as a child's play with his own son?
"Xiao Yiheng, you are so brave, you actually hid such a big thing from us. Is marriage a child's play? You, you are really going to make me mad."
If it weren't for Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi and the others, Xiao Yingze would have thrown the bowl in Xiao Yiheng's direction.
"Dad, this is my fault, but please don't worry, I will handle it well."
"Handle it, how to handle it, publicly regret the marriage, Xiao Yiheng, is marriage a child's play? What's more, the Han family has taken the initiative to bring up the wedding. Do you want your mother and I to go and say sorry? I can't afford to embarrass this person.
"
Xiao Yingze felt that he owed his son this life. He used to think that he was quite sensible and never wanted the couple to worry about him. He didn't expect that he would become a blockbuster.
"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about this matter. The reason why the Han family is eager to get married is because they want to get more benefits from the Xiao family. Do you think this kind of in-law is reliable by using their daughter's marriage to achieve their goals? This matter
I know the matter well, and in short, I will resolve this matter without harming the interests of the group. During this time, the Han family contacted you and tried to find a way to shirk it. I promise, it will not exceed a month at most."
After saying that, Xiao Yiheng stood up and left the table again, saying before leaving.
"I have a lot of things to do these days, so I live in the city."
Then, Xiao Yiheng turned around and left the restaurant, with Xiao Yingze's cursing voice and Lu Ziyou's comforting voice faintly heard from behind.
"Okay, didn't I remind you before? If my son really had a good relationship with Ximu and we needed to talk, he would have gone to get a marriage certificate with that child long ago. Didn't you also say that? What happened to the Han family recently?
It’s not peaceful at all, and I’m afraid I hope to use this marriage to divert other people’s attention.”
Lu Ziyou calmed Xiao Yingze's violent temper, and Xiao Yingxi and Mas Nian on the side also agreed.
"Second brother, marriage is not a trivial matter. Since these two children are not destined to be together, it is better to terminate the engagement as soon as possible so that there is no need to delay the ladies of the Han family."
The speaker is Xiao Yingxi. She is the most open-minded among these people when it comes to marriage and relationships. She may have experienced separation and reunification when she was young, so she understands the importance of love better.
"Yingze, the children are grown up. Yiheng has always done things in a measured manner these years. Let him handle this matter by himself. Why do you need to trouble yourself?"
"Hey, you guys, just help him speak. Why is he acting so recklessly this time? If we hadn't mentioned the marriage today, would he still have planned to hide it from us?"
"So, second uncle and second aunt, did you already know that there was a problem with the engagement between Yiheng and Miss Han?"
Xiao Yihe had been sitting quietly aside. After hearing the chat of these adults, he seemed to have discovered something.
