Faced with the change in attitude of Xiao Yihe's parents, Huo Lan was also a little shocked. How long had it been? Ten minutes ago, Huo Lan was worried that she and Xiao Yihe would not be blessed together, but now, they actually accepted it.
The joy came so suddenly that she couldn't react for a while.
Xiao Yihe on the side was obviously relieved. If there weren't so many people present, Xiao Yihe would have really wanted to hug Huo Lan and kiss her.
"Mom, dad, don't worry. My son has never been an impulsive person. If things weren't so unpredictable, you would have had a daughter-in-law four years ago. In this life, I don't want anyone except Xiaolan."
"Your father and I will remember this and be kind to Xiaolan. You don't know how hard it is for a woman to raise a child by herself. If I know that you have let her down, see how I will deal with you."
Xiao Yingxi is also a woman and knows how difficult it is for a woman, especially how difficult it is to raise a child alone. Although she doesn't know exactly why her son and Huo Lan separated back then, her intuition tells her that this woman has had a very difficult life these years.
"Don't worry, parents, I will take good care of Xiaolan and make up for the suffering she has suffered over the years."
The big stone in Xiao Yihe's heart finally fell to the ground, and he could feel Huo Lan relaxing next to him.
"Yihe, since you have brought Xiaolan back, make an appointment with Xiaolan's parents another day and let's meet together. The child is so old, so there is no way the parents of both parties still don't know each other."
Masnian opened his mouth at this time, he was thinking about these etiquette the most.
After Xiao Yihe heard this, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he said immediately.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaolan's father is no longer here a few years ago, and her mother is also in Kyoto, but she got sick a few years ago and is not in good health. If my parents don't mind, how about coming to Kyoto to meet her another day?"
After Xiao Yihe finished speaking, he gave Huo Lan a reassuring look, and Huo Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Her mother's illness back then has always been a secret that Huo Lan couldn't tell. Although society is open now, many people will still classify depression as mental illness when they hear it, and they will always be criticized.
When Masnian and Xiao Yingxi heard what their son said, there was no dissatisfaction on their faces. Instead, they nodded and spoke considerately.
"Yes, we should visit, but we may have to wait until after the new year. Yihe will then help us say sorry to Xiaolan's mother."
"Uncle and aunt, thank you."
Huo Lan said with some emotion. She thought Xiao Yihe's family would ask about her family's situation, but for Huo Lan, those were a secret that was difficult to tell. Unexpectedly, they didn't ask anything. This kind of respect and consideration is what ordinary people expect.
Without it, more people will be full of curiosity about unknown things.
Hearing Huo Lan's words, Xiao Yingxi smiled softly and said.
"You're welcome. You can raise melons so well. It's us who want to thank you. From now on, I don't have to envy others for having grandchildren."
"Okay, okay, lunch is ready. Let's chat while we eat."
At this time, Lu Ziyou saw that the atmosphere had relaxed a lot, so he stood up and invited everyone to have lunch. Upon hearing this, everyone also got up and walked to the restaurant.
"The house hasn't been so lively for a long time. It would be great if Yichen, Mu You and Silo were here too."
Lu Ziyou looked at the family at the table and sighed.
Even though the Xiao family is now prosperous, because the Xiao family has such a large business, everyone is busy almost all over the world, and there are not many opportunities to reunite throughout the year.
Hearing Lu Ziyou's sigh, Xiao Yingxi said with a smile.
"It's coming soon, isn't it about to celebrate the New Year? Isn't Yichen going to come back to celebrate the New Year this year too? Then the family can be reunited."
Because holidays abroad are different from those in China, since Xiao Yichen took over the Sennuo Fund, he rarely comes back for the Chinese New Year, but this year he has already said that he will come back for the Chinese New Year.
When Xiao Yingxi said this, Lu Ziyou nodded. She still felt a little guilty for her youngest son. It was the couple who decided to let Xiao Yichen go to the UK to take over the Sennuo Fund. This also meant that he would stay abroad for a long time in the future.
.
"Mom, don't be sad. Yihe and I have discussed it a long time ago. In a few years, we plan to move the headquarters of Sennuo Fund to China. By then, Yichen will be able to come back. It's just that now Sennuo Fund is big
Most of the business is in Europe and the United States, so it will take some time."
Seeing his mother's sad face, Xiao Yiheng knew that she missed Xiao Yichen, so she opened her mouth to comfort her. This matter was not just talked about casually. He and Xiao Yihe had discussed it a long time ago, and the Xiao family should be together neatly.
"Honey, when the children are old, it's time to let them go out and have adventures. The child should be careful and wild, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about going abroad when he was in high school. You are just too concerned."
"Hmph, that's my son. The flesh that fell off my body is nothing like you men. Just feel good about it."
Originally, Xiao Yingze just wanted to comfort his wife, but he didn't expect that he would draw the flames on himself, and also implicate all the men who were doing it. Didn't you see the embarrassment flashing across the faces of Mas Nian, Xiao Yihe and others?
Seeing that his wife was so disrespectful, Xiao Yingze stared at Lu Ziyou with a resentful expression and said.
"Honey, in front of the children, can you give me some face?"
"Hmph, stay away from me, I don't want to talk to you now."
Lu Ziyou said coquettishly and moved a little to the other side.
"By the way, aunt, will my little sister come back during the Chinese New Year? Is there anyone else coming too?"
At this time, Xiao Yiheng opened his mouth to help his father out of trouble.
Hearing the mention of her daughter, Xiao Yingxi's face flashed with worry. In the past two days, the news has been making a lot of noise. To say that she is not worried at all is definitely a lie.
"I haven't asked about this yet, but he should be able to come back. As for Beichen's kid, you also know his situation, so you're not sure he will come."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingxi sighed slightly. Ever since they knew that Feng Beichen could not have physical contact with the opposite sex, they told these children about this. They were also afraid that these people would accidentally hurt Feng Beichen one day.
"Forget it, I'll ask Xiaodai when I return to Kyoto in a few days. We respect their decision. I didn't expect that Beichen would actually... Hey, but that's okay. We don't have to worry about him making any mistakes that are sorry for Xiaodai.
matter."
Xiao Yiheng said, everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, but Mo Xi and Huo Lan who were present were confused.
After that, the family had lunch happily. Gradually, Mo Xi and Huo Lan completely let go. One of them sat next to Xiao Yingxi, and the other sat next to Lu Ziyou, just like two well-behaved people.
's little daughter-in-law.
Coupled with the addition of a clever and eccentric Xiao Gua, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time at the dinner table, especially these elders, which made Xiao Gua giggle. Sure enough, after a generation, the relationship is not the same.
Same.
At first, Huo Lan was worried about what Xiao Yihe's family would think of hiding the birth from her, and might also implicate Xiao Gua, but now it seems that her worries are completely unnecessary.
Looking at Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi again, their eyes almost never left Xiao Gua. Mas Nian even held Xiao Gua in his arms, enjoying the joy of being a grandfather. Xiao Yingze, who was watching on the side, was very envious.
He suddenly regretted his promise to Xiao Yiheng to let them have children in a few years.
"Xiaogua, come here, let Grandpa Second give you a hug. Grandpa Two will take you to the amusement park in the afternoon, okay?"
At this time, Xiao Yingze was like a child trafficker, tempting Xiao Gua with a smile on his face. He had no choice but to prevent his son from giving him grandchildren.
But before Xiao Yingze's hand touched Xiao Gua, Masnian said with a blowing beard and eyes wide open.
"Go, go, my grandson wants to go to the amusement park. Do I still need you to take him with me? Xiaogua, don't pay attention to this second grandpa. From now on, wherever Xiaogua wants to go and whatever he wants, just tell grandpa and grandpa can do it."
Mas Nian, who always had a serious face on weekdays, could be so childish sometimes, like a jealous child, staring at Xiao Yingze defensively, fearing that this guy would steal his grandson.
Xiao Yingze didn't expect that his eldest brother would be like this. Wasn't he just borrowing his grandson for fun?
"Brother, don't I like Xiaogua? Why aren't you happy anymore?"
"Huh, I don't know what you are thinking about. If you want a grandson, let your son give birth to you. You have one more son than me."
With that said, Masnian directly picked up Xiaogua and said.
"Let's go, grandpa will take you back to your home, okay."
Anyway, lunch was finished, Masnian said while holding Xiaogua and walking out of the restaurant.
After a meal, Xiao Gua also fell in love with this grandpa who seemed to be unsmiling but doted on him very much, especially because this grandpa was so handsome and tall, so he nodded and agreed, and even hugged him tightly with his hands.
Masnian's neck.
"What kind of toys does Xiao Gua like? Grandpa will send them to you later. Well, let's go take a look later. How about making a playroom for Xiao Gua?"
Masnian looked at Xiaogua dotingly and said, completely ignoring the people behind him who stared at him in surprise. After a while, he walked out of Villa No. 19 and returned to Villa No. 18.
"Yihe, do you want me to go and have a look? The little melon is so skinny, can uncle handle it by himself?"
Huo Lan tugged on Xiao Yihe's sleeve and whispered, but Xiao Yihe shook his head.
"It's okay. My sister and I were both raised by my father. He has the most experience in raising children."
Isn't that right? Masnian is the eldest in the family. He raised his wife single-handedly back then. He is the most experienced in raising children.
