Ou Qianyi was particularly charming when she introduced Mas Nian, which was a bit different from the capable woman she usually is.
Wu Yanuo and Ou Haozhi, who were sitting at the back, saw Mas Nian at the door, and their eyes lit up. Although they had never seen Mas Nian, who had never heard of Yaoyuan Group? This depends on their status in the business world.
, the rumored first heir to the Yaoyuan Group has a higher status than anyone present.
Ou Haozhi was quite calm. Although he felt deeply that his daughter had found such a powerful boyfriend, in terms of face, he still acted like an elder and calmly nodded to Masnian and greeted him.
"Mr. Ma, sit here."
With that said, Ou Haozhi pointed to the two empty seats next to him.
Masnian was not polite and walked over with Ou Qianyi. When he sat down, he said hello.
"Uncle Ou, Aunt Ou, I'm sorry, I have something to do today, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's okay. Qianyi has already told us. I wonder how your sister is doing?"
Wu Yanuo expressed polite concern, and Masnian replied politely.
"Nothing serious, thank you for your concern."
"You don't have to be so polite. From now on we are all one family. Mr. Ma, please don't be formal."
"Aunt Ou, just call me Si Nian."
Outside, people usually call him Young Master or Mr. Ma, but Mr. Ma is a title that is rare and always sounds awkward.
After that, Ou Qianyi introduced other people present to Masnian.
Her brother-in-law's family, as well as her aunt and uncle's family, it can be seen that these people should be considered important figures in Huacheng, and Mas Nian has heard of several of them.
During the dinner, Ou Qianyi's uncle suddenly asked a question.
"Si Nian, I heard that your surname is Xiao, why is your surname Ma?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone present looked at Masnian.
Huacheng and Luocheng are not far apart, and Yaoyuan Group is one of the top star groups in the country, and the private life of the group boss has also attracted a lot of attention.
Although more than twenty years have passed, anyone who is willing to investigate will find out a lot of things about the three sons of the Xiao family.
When Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou adopted Mas Nian and Xiao Yingze, they did not disclose their identities, nor did they say they were adopted. They just issued a statement and briefly talked about their family members.
But considering Mas Nian's age at that time, it was impossible for Mo Yurou to give birth to him. At first, there were still rumors that Mas Nian was Xiao Zichen's illegitimate child. However, no one responded positively to this matter. As time went by, the rumors gradually disappeared.
Gradually faded out of public opinion.
Over the years, those who are familiar with Mas Nian will not discuss Mas Nian's surname. Those who are not familiar with Mas Nian and want to get to know Mas Nian will not even ask this question. Now that he is suddenly asked so directly, Mas Nian frowns subconsciously.
The wrinkles came together.
Ou Qianyi's expression suddenly changed and she looked at Masnian nervously. To be honest, she was also curious in her heart, but she was very smart and she would not take the initiative to ask about some things.
The air in the originally harmonious box suddenly condensed. Everyone looked at Mas Nian. Ou Qianyi felt the coldness in Mas Nian's eyes and hurriedly spoke to smooth things over.
"Second uncle, this is Si Nian's private matter. Why are you asking these questions?"
When Ou Qianyi said this, Wu Yanuo on the side also spoke and said.
"Qianyi, don't blame your second uncle. Si Nian, don't worry about it. Qianyi's second uncle has no ill intentions and he also cares about you."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Masnian shook his head lightly, then raised his eyes slightly, opened his thin lips, and said quietly.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, even if my second uncle doesn't ask about this matter, I will still find an opportunity to explain it to Qianyi. Since my second uncle mentioned it, I will talk about it frankly. I was originally an orphan, a child adopted by my parents.
It’s just that my parents have never favored one over the other and have always raised me as their own son. When I was first adopted, my father asked for my opinion and I decided not to change my surname.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. They had heard a lot of rumors before, but none of them were about adoption.
Ou Qianyi on the side was also stunned. She never thought that Mas Nian would be the adopted son of the Xiao family. When she went to the Xiao family that time, the whole family was enjoying themselves.
At this time, Wu Yanuo tugged on Ou Qianyi's sleeve, leaned into her ear and asked softly.
"Qianqian, why didn't you tell us about this?"
The identity of an adopted son who is not related by blood is different from that of a biological son. The outside world says that the eldest son of the Xiao family is the future successor of the Yaoyuan Group. But if Masnian is not his biological son, then the identity of this heir does not matter.
That's up for debate.
Ou Qianyi frowned slightly. At this time, she was also very confused because there seemed to be a big difference between Masnian and the husband she had imagined.
"Mommy, I only know it now. Well, I will ask him about this later."
After all, Ou Qianyi still loves this man in her heart. Given his identity, Ou Qianyi is very aware of the capabilities of the man next to her.
Even if Mas Nian cannot take the position of chairman of Yaoyuan Group in the future, he can still create a world with his ability. If not, she still has Tengmai Technology. Maybe with Masnian's help, Tengmai can
Technology has reached a higher level.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the box was obviously much more solemn, and Ou Haoqiang did not expect that his curiosity would make the situation so tense.
But this is a common problem in the upper class. Just like Ou Zhengyan, the illegitimate son of their family who has not come forward, even Ou Haozhi's eldest son was not born from his first wife, so he is destined not to become the heir of the Ou family.
Masnian was not stupid, how could he not feel the awkward atmosphere, but he did not care. He did not deliberately conceal his identity, but Ou Qianyi never asked, so he did not take the initiative to talk about it.
Now that someone asked, he said it, and before he said it, he thought about what the result would be. He was not dissatisfied with these people's reactions, because in the past twenty years, he had become accustomed to others using this kind of strange behavior.
Look at yourself with eyes.
While lowering his eyebrows and nodding, Masnian smiled faintly. This is the most realistic situation. Even if he bears the Xiao family name, as long as his body does not have the same blood as his parents' blood, in the eyes of these people, he is just
Just an ordinary person.
At this moment, Ou Qianyi took his arm, then looked at everyone present and said.
"This is all my fault. I should have told you about Si Nian earlier. Oh, by the way, Daddy, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. This time we returned to China because Si Nian wanted to return to Yaoyuan Group.
The headquarters is working, so Teng Mai’s overseas dad should send someone else there, I don’t want to have a long-distance relationship with Si Nian.”
Ou Qianyi broke the awkward atmosphere. When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed again. Ou Qianyi was reminding them that Mas Nian's status as an adopted son did not seem to affect his takeover of the Yaoyuan Group.
Masnian on the side was a little moved when he saw Ou Qianyi being so protective, but in his opinion, such protection was actually unnecessary.
No, after Ou Qianyi finished speaking, Ou Haozhi was the first to speak out. He directly picked up the wine glass and looked at Masnian, and said politely.
"Come on, Si Nian, let's drink."
Masnian also responded with a friendly toast.
The dinner ended successfully, but Masnian could clearly feel that Ou Qianyi's parents were a little more polite and less cordial towards him.
Masnian stayed until the end, waiting for Ou Qianyi and others to send everyone away before getting up.
Masnian drank a lot, and Ou Qianyi was always by his side.
"Si Nian, please stay here tonight. I will open a room for you."
Ou Qianyi looked at Masnian's slightly drunken appearance and asked with concern.
Masnian shook his head and said.
"No, I'll go to Luoluo."
When Ou Qianyi heard this, she didn't frown slightly and said.
"It's almost ten o'clock now. It's so late and she's asleep even if you go there. And she's such an old woman. Why are you worried?"
For some reason, Ou Qianyi's mood changed after she found out that Mas Nian was the adopted son of the Xiao family. Especially when she heard that Mas Nian said she was going to live in Xiao Yingxi's apartment, she couldn't help but feel a sense of resistance in her heart.
But Masnian's decision is not so easy to change, he said with a cold face.
"Luoluo is sick. The person who has arranged to take care of her at home will not come until tomorrow. She is staying alone in the apartment. If a stomach attack occurs, I will not worry about no one to take care of her. Okay, you and your uncle and aunt will go back first. I will leave the hotel later.
Just ask the driver to take me there. I’ll contact you tomorrow when it’s empty.”
With that said, Masnian had already walked out of the box.
At this time, Wu Yanuo and Ou Haozhi happened to walk in after seeing off their guests. When they saw Masnian and his daughter walking out one after another, they asked.
"Si Nian, can I ask the hotel to open a room for you?"
It was Ou Haozhi who spoke.
Masnian shook his head and said.
"No, I have a place to stay here. Thank you uncle and aunt for your hospitality tonight. I will visit you some other day."
"You're welcome. Since you have made arrangements, we will go back first."
Ou Haozhi said, and wanted to pull Ou Qianyi away, but Ou Qianyi was worried about Masnian, so she took a step back and said.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'll take Si Nian back first and then go home."
When Ou Haozhi and his wife heard this, they became a little unhappy. Just as they were about to speak, Masnian spoke first.
"Qianyi, you and your parents should go back. The apartment is nearby. I will send you a message when I arrive."
With that said, Mas young and gently pushed Ou Qianyi to Wu Yanuo's side, and then said.
