Mas Nian's achievements in the past three years are obvious to all, but Ou Qianyi is not clear about the reasons and attributes all of this to Mas Nian's status as the adopted son.
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, an obscure glint flashed in her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Ziyou on the side spoke first.
"Miss Ou, although you are Si Nian's girlfriend, you are an outsider after all. How much do you know about the Xiao family's affairs, and you are talking nonsense like this?"
Lu Ziyou is not defending Xiao Yingxi, but she is very clear about the importance of Mas Nian in the heart of her godfather and godmother. She just does not allow others to slander her godfather and godmother.
Ou Qianyi was slightly startled when she heard Lu Ziyou's words. She also knew Lu Ziyou's identity. She was the favorite daughter of the second master of the Yu family and the goddaughter of the Xiao family. It was said that her status in the Xiao family was as good as anyone's.
But Ou Qianyi had already determined one thing in her heart. She thought that Mas Nian would only return to China for a few days, so she hurried to Nanyun City in such a hurry. She only felt aggrieved for Mas Nian.
"Nonsense? Miss Lu, from what you said, you should know the Xiao family better than me. Then I would like to ask you, there are so many people in the Yaoyuan Group, why should he be allowed to go to Nanyun City? He is such a capable person.
People, isn’t it a waste of talents to go to Nanyun City?”
"Who told you he was my godfather and godmother..."
"Sister Youyou, stop talking."
Lu Ziyou was about to tell the truth, but Xiao Yingxi interrupted her, then turned to look at Ou Qianyi and said.
"Miss Ou, whoever is sent to Nanyun City is our own business at Yaoyuan Group. You are just my brother's girlfriend, and it is not your turn to dictate the group's decisions. I think if your words are taken seriously,
If my brother knows about it, I believe he won't feel any gratitude to you, and he might even blame Miss Ou for being nosy."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingxi paused for a moment, seeming to be struggling with something, and then said something else.
"Of course, if Miss Ou has a way to make my brother powerful in Nanyun City, then I, the younger sister, have to thank you. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi pulled Lu Ziyou out.
Ou Qianyi froze on the spot. She was still thinking about the meaning of Xiao Yingxi's last words. Was it really not what she thought?
"Qianyi, is that Miss Xiao's sister, Mas Nian's sister?"
At this time, the middle-aged woman who came out with Ou Qianyi finally spoke. This person was Ou Qianyi's mother. When Ou Qianyi and Xiao Yingxi were arguing just now, she was watching like a bystander.
Ou Qianyi nodded and said.
"Well, Xiao Yingxi, the youngest daughter of the Xiao family."
At this time, Ou Qianyi's mother turned to look outside the door and said quietly.
"I seem to have seen that girl somewhere?"
Wu Yanuo said thoughtfully, and as he spoke, he glanced in the direction Xiao Yingxi left.
After Ou Qianyi heard this, she said suspiciously.
"Mommy, have you read it wrong? I heard Si Nian say that his sister always keeps a low profile and almost never appears in public. How could you possibly have seen her before?"
After hearing this, Wu Yanuo hesitated and said.
"Maybe Mommy really made a mistake. Okay, let's go. Didn't you say you want to see the bag? Mommy will pay for it today."
With that said, Wu Yanuo pulled Ou Qianyi into the store where Xiao Yingxi and the others were shopping just now. While mother and daughter were shopping, Wu Yanuo began to indoctrinate Ou Qianyi again.
"Qianyi, Mommy is still saying the same thing. You and Si Nian should be more cautious. If you look at Yaoyuan Group's announcement today, it is probably about the marginalization of Mas Nian. You are also the future of Tengmai Technology.
The chairman of the board of directors cannot find an adopted son who is not valued as a husband, and you have also seen your father’s attitude. You cannot let your father down and take advantage of that boy.”
Ou Qianyi knew exactly who the boy Wu Yanuo was talking about, and this was where she was most hesitant now. Although she had been trained as the successor of the group since childhood, in the Ou family, she was actually not the only choice.
Leaving aside her second uncle's family, who has been in the management of the group, the real threat to her is her father's illegitimate son, Ou Zhengyan, whose abilities are not inferior to hers.
When she thought of this, Ou Qianyi became so upset that she even lost interest in shopping and said impatiently.
"Okay, Mommy, you've been talking about this for the past two days, can you please stop talking about it? I promise you, I will think it over carefully."
Here, after Xiao Yingxi and Lu Ziyou left the store, Xiao Yingxi had the idea of going home, and her mood was even lower than when she came out.
"Luoluo, don't take Miss Ou's words to heart. You should know better than us how your godfather and godmother treat Brother Si Nian."
Lu Ziyou was afraid that Xiao Yingxi would have random thoughts, so she started to comfort her not long after she walked out.
But this time it was Lu Ziyou who really thought too much. In fact, the reason why Xiao Yingxi was in a low mood was not because of Ou Qianyi's questions.
"Sister Youyou, is it really that important whether it's adoption or biological? Brother Snian, does he also care about this?"
Xiao Yingxi recalled in her mind Mas' years of hard work and all the care and accommodation he had given to her and Xiao Yingze. She suddenly realized that his adopted status had brought him a lot of pressure.
Going to Nanyun City this time, apart from what she said about never seeing each other again, might it also be related to his status in this family.
Lu Ziyou also fell into silence after hearing this. She could not answer Xiao Yingxi's question.
Seeing Lu Ziyou fall into silence, Xiao Yingxi's eyes dimmed and she said quietly.
"Does brother think so too? Can't he feel the love of daddy and mommy for him?"
Thinking that Masnian might have chosen to go to Nanyun City because of his status, Xiao Yingxi suddenly felt heartbroken and even a little disappointed.
Seeing that Xiao Yingxi was a little angry, Lu Ziyou quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Okay, you can't lose your judgment just because of what Miss Ou said. I believe Brother Snien has his own considerations when going to Nanyun City. Luoluo, please stop thinking about it."
I thought this would make Xiao Yingxi feel better, but at this moment Xiao Yingxi suddenly let out a long sigh, with visible disappointment on her face, and she could only hear her whispering softly.
"Sister Youyou, I don't know how to face this matter now. I don't want my brother to go to Nanyun City because of my words, nor do I want him to go to Nanyun City because of his identity.
Nanyun City, Sister Youyou, it seems that nothing I think is right."
This time, Lu Ziyou was stumped. She didn't know how to comfort her injured sister. In the end, she could only hug her and pat her shoulders.
"Then don't think about it. Since it's a foregone conclusion, it's better to think about what to do next. Luoluo, although my words are a bit cruel, I think you should really think about it. Do you hope to be with Brother Snian again in the future?
Live or never see each other again. I know this choice is difficult, but I believe you also know that this is a choice you must make."
After a few words, Xiao Yingxi fell into silence again. For a moment, Xiao Yingxi felt her nose sore and immediately raised her head, not wanting to let tears flow down.
When Lu Ziyou saw it, he immediately held Xiao Yingxi in his arms and said.
"Okay, we are outside now. It would be so embarrassing if you cried. Luoluo, you have always been a very strong girl."
"Sister Youyou, why do adults always have to make choices like this? Why can't there be a solution that has the best of both worlds? Can he and I really just be brother and sister?"
Hearing this, Lu Ziyou sighed softly, patted Xiao Yingxi's shoulder and comforted her.
"Luoluo, haven't you seen clearly in your mind a long time ago?"
Xiao Yingxi took a deep breath and left Lu Ziyou's arms. Her eyes were red but she never shed a tear, and then she listened to her words with a sad face.
"Give me some time, Sister Youyou."
When Xiao Yingxi said this, her eyes flickered, as if there was an unpredictable light.
After that, Xiao Yingxi was not in the mood to go shopping, so she and Lu Ziyou went back to the apartment. After returning, Xiao Yingxi locked herself in the room again. Lu Ziyou could only sigh when she saw this.
In the next two days, Xiao Yingxi seemed to be in normal condition. She almost ran to and from the school apartment. Lu Ziyou was responsible for picking up and dropping off students in the car these two days.
Although Xiao Yingxi didn't say anything, Lu Ziyou knew very well that Xiao Yingxi was still sad in her heart.
On the evening of Lu Ziyou's third day in Huacheng, she went to pick up Xiao Yingxi from school as she did the previous two days.
Xiao Yingxi said after getting in the car.
"Sister Youyou, do you plan to live in Huacheng forever?"
"Why, you think I'm annoying, but I asked the publisher for a week's leave, and I'll go back at the weekend."
Lu Ziyou didn't want anything to happen to her as soon as she left Xiao Yingxi.
Xiao Yingxi listened and did not raise any objections, she just said one sentence.
"What should we do? We are going to the suburbs the day after tomorrow to collect scenery. It will probably take two or three days. Sister Youyou, is it possible that you are still following me?"
"Caifeng? Is it far from here?"
"It's not far, but I just need to spend the night there."
Lu Ziyou heard this, thought for a moment, and was about to speak when Xiao Yingxi spoke up first.
"Sister Youyou, actually I know you are worried that I will do something stupid, but don't you think I am a good person? Don't worry, I have figured it out in the past few days. In fact, I confessed to my brother on impulse that time. Since
Now that I know what he thinks about me, I have given up and will return to my younger sister's position in the future."
"You really think so?"
Lu Ziyou looked at Xiao Yingxi suspiciously.
Xiao Yingxi shrugged and nodded.
"I know you won't believe it easily, but I can't give you any guarantee about this kind of thing, but I'm not the kind of person who gets hurt by love and can't recover, but I also need time to digest this experience. Now.
Thinking about it, it’s not bad for me to go to Nanyun City. At least it will allow me to see clearly what I want more. Isn’t it a love that shouldn’t be there? Since we can’t be husband and wife, let’s just be brother and sister again.
."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingxi turned around and looked at Lu Ziyou, showing a faint smile.
"Sister Youyou, please go back to Luo City tomorrow. It will save my brother another trip. Isn't there Sister Xiaoju watching over me? I won't do anything random."
Lu Ziyou did not answer Xiao Yingxi immediately, but thought for a long time before speaking.
"Okay, then I'll go back tomorrow, but you have to promise me to take good care of yourself. Nothing is more important than yourself, do you understand?"
"I know, Sister Youyou, I find that you are more nagging than my mommy now."
"Xiao Yingxi, are you itchy? I think I have been too good to you these past few days."
Seeing that Xiao Yingxi was in the mood to make fun of herself, Lu Ziyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
