Masnian suddenly felt as if he had heard a story that he couldn't digest for a while. He could only say that the relationship between his parents and Yingze's biological parents was constantly complicated and chaotic.
In this complicated relationship, his parents are definitely not at fault, but if they say they have no responsibility at all, it cannot be justified. It can only be said that Zhou Junyi's thoughts were too extreme and he finally embarked on a path of no return.
After being silent for a long time, Masnian suddenly looked at Xiao Zichen worriedly and asked.
"Dad, aren't you worried that Mrs. Jiang will tell Yingze everything? By then, I'm afraid Yingze will collapse."
Masnian felt sorry for Xiao Yingze's experience. Originally, he felt that he had lived a very miserable life before he was eight years old. But compared with Xiao Yingze, he at least had the selfless love of his grandfather. Xiao Yingze was abandoned by his mother as soon as he was born, and his father
He was just using him to win back his mother's heart.
When Masnian said this, Xiao Zichen still didn't speak. This was what worried him the most.
Although he had told Jiang Lan very confidently just now that he believed in Xiao Yingze's judgment, if he really found out, he could not guarantee that Xiao Yingze would be able to face it with strength.
Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Masnian said again.
"Dad, instead of knowing about yourself from others, it would be better for you and your mother to tell him personally. Mom has always said that among our three brothers and sisters, Yingze may seem cynical, but he is indeed the most delicate and considerate person.
, I believe he can accept it all calmly."
Upon hearing Mas Nian's suggestion, Xiao Zichen did not respond, but sighed.
"Let me think about it again. This child has always thought that we are his biological parents. If he finds out the truth, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen drove towards Haotianju.
In the car, both of them felt heavy. It was not until they were approaching Haotianju that Xiao Zichen calmed down a little and warned.
"Don't tell your mother what happened today."
Masnian nodded.
After a while, the two of them arrived home. Mo Yurou and Xiao Yingze had already returned home.
Mo Yurou was lying leisurely on the recliner listening to music, while Xiao Yingze was in the kitchen, preparing dinner with Mrs. Zhang. The moment Xiao Zichen and Masnian walked into the villa, a faint smile appeared on their faces.
During dinner, Xiao Yingze suddenly announced something.
"Daddy, Mommy, brother, I have something to announce."
Xiao Yingze was mysterious, with an uncontrollable happy smile on his face.
Mo Yurou looked at Xiao Yingze lovingly and asked kindly.
"Looking at your expression, what's the good thing?"
Xiao Yingze put down his bowl and chopsticks at this time and said very seriously.
"Daddy, Mommy, Youyou and I have discussed it. Years ago, we planned to get married."
When Xiao Yingze said this, Mo Yurou burst out laughing with excitement and confirmed with some disbelief.
"Really, you and Youyou have discussed it, what do your Uncle Yu and Aunt Qian say? Did they agree? Hey, we are also to blame for this matter. Although the two families have a good relationship, some etiquette cannot be dispensed with.
, you and Youyou have been together for so long, and our two families have not formally sat down to have a meal. In this way, Luoluo will come back tomorrow, and after the dinner the day after tomorrow, we will set a time for the two families to sit down and discuss it together.
Let’s discuss it. This marriage between Xiao and Yu’s family should not be too casual. Youyou is my goddaughter, so I cannot wrong her."
Mo Yurou looked worried about her old mother. The more she talked, the more excited she became. She wanted to go see Yu Jingzhou and his wife immediately.
On the other hand, Xiao Zichen looked troubled. He was probably still worried about Jiang Lan. Now that he heard that Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou were getting engaged, he was really afraid that something would happen. After all, Yu Jingzhou was also one of the people involved back then.
No, after Mo Yurou finished speaking, Xiao Zichen said something.
"Yingze, you and Youyou have been together for less than half a year. Do you have to be in such a hurry? You are only twenty-four, isn't it too early?"
I thought that such good news would be blessed by my family, but I didn't expect to be questioned by my father. Xiao Yingze was a little confused and surprised.
"Daddy, Youyou and I have known each other since we were children. I have liked her for so many years and we finally got together. I want to make her my wife as soon as possible. Besides, Youyou is three years older than me. I am doing this for Youyou's sake."
.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingze looked at Xiao Zichen with some anxiety and asked again.
"Daddy, don't you agree with me and Youyou being together?"
"No, Daddy just feels that although you have known each other for a long time, you have only been together for a short time, so why don't you be more cautious?"
Xiao Zichen realized that something was wrong with his emotions, calmed down a little, and explained.
At this time, Masnian on the side felt Xiao Yingze's disappointment, patted his shoulder, raised the red wine glass in front of him, and said.
"Come on, big brother has been back for so long and I haven't given you a formal blessing yet. Big brother would like to wish you happiness first. Daddy is also doing this for you and Youyou. After all, the relationship between the two families is so good. If you plan to get married without thinking carefully,
If something happens in the future, the two families who are hurt will have a relationship that will last for many years."
Masnian smoothed things over in time. He knew what his father was worried about, but he didn't think Mrs. Jiang could do anything to hurt Xiao Yingze. After all, none of the children in the Xiao family were fragile.
With Mas Nian's explanation, Xiao Yingze felt a little more at ease, raised his glass and said.
"Thank you, brother."
Then, he looked at Xiao Zichen and said very firmly.
"Daddy, please rest assured that I am not acting impulsively. Youyou is my wife for the rest of my life. I promise you that I will love Youyou as much as you protect my mommy."
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen was still a little uneasy, but he didn't want to spoil his son's happiness, so he nodded and said.
"Now that you have thought it through, listen to your mother and wait for two days to have a dinner together to discuss your engagement banquet."
Seeing that his father was relieved, Xiao Yingze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Mo Yurou on the side suddenly hugged Xiao Yingze with excitement and said.
"My child, I wish you the best. Our Xiao family will finally have a happy event."
Yes, if you think about it carefully this year, too many things have happened. Now, the clouds are finally clearing and the sun is shining brightly. I believe that their family’s life will get better and better in the future.
After dinner, before going to bed, Xiao Zichen received a call from Liu Mingyu.
"Chairman, there is a situation with Jiang Lan."
This phone call suddenly cast a layer of gloom on Xiao Zichen's face, which had been in a good mood all night.
"explain."
Xiao Zichen only uttered one word coldly, and then Liu Mingyu on the other side of the phone spoke.
"The last time Jiang Lan took five million, he ran to the United States. Within half a month, he lost everything. Now he has nearly two million US dollars in gambling debt. In addition, I also found out that back then,
The property left behind by Jiang Moyao after his death has been lost to Jiang Lan over the years, and now she only has an apartment worth less than one million yuan."
Hearing this, Xiao Zichen's mood hit rock bottom.
I thought Jiang Lan was just a little greedy, but now she is a gambler. For this kind of person, it is basically a bottomless pit, unless this person really disappears completely.
This is not impossible, but it is a human life after all. Xiao Zichen, who is over fifty years old, is not as ruthless as before, and he does not want to have other people's blood on his hands in this life.
Seeing that Xiao Zichen didn't speak for a long time, Liu Mingyu said again.
"Chairman, Jiang Lan is currently staying in a chain hotel near Yaohua Media, and has directly booked a room for half a month."
When Xiao Zichen heard this, a hint of coldness flashed across his solemn face and he said immediately.
"Send someone to keep an eye on her. No matter what method you use, she must not be allowed to appear in front of Yingze."
"Chairman, please rest assured, I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the old woman 24 hours a day."
This sentence finally made Xiao Zichen relax a little, and then Xiao Zichen hung up the phone.
When he came out of the study, he happened to see Xiao Yingze and Mas Nian walking from the corridor. Before Xiao Zichen could collect his emotions, he was bumped into by Mas Nian and Xiao Yingze.
Masnian saw the mobile phone in Xiao Zichen's hand and could probably guess what was going on. He said nothing, but Xiao Yingze had already walked over.
"Daddy, what happened? You look so ugly."
"Oh, it's nothing. Your Uncle Liu has already taken care of the matters in the company. By the way, where is your mother."
Xiao Zichen adjusted his mood slightly and directly changed the subject.
"Mom is still downstairs. Aunt Cole and Uncle Fu have sent gifts today. Mom is opening the gifts downstairs."
Masnian on the side said, Xiao Zichen listened, smiled fondly and said.
"She still likes to open gifts as she did when she was young. Okay, you go back to your room and rest first. I'll go downstairs to find your mother."
With that said, Xiao Zichen went downstairs.
Masnian was also ready to go back to his room, but Xiao Yingze always felt that his father's expression just now did not sound like something was wrong with the company. He hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into Masnian's bedroom.
"What? Is there anything else?"
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Masnian was a little curious when he saw Xiao Yingze walking in.
"Brother, don't you think Daddy's expression just now was weird? I don't think it's as simple as he said. Haven't you been in the group recently? Is there a serious crisis in the group?"
Xiao Yingze expressed his worries, but then Mas Nian rolled his eyes and said.
"You kid, what are you talking about? If something happens to the group, you won't know. Don't worry. With the current status of Yaoyuan Group, not many groups can threaten it. Okay, go back and sleep now.
I'm tired."
With that said, Masnian picked up his pajamas and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but before he could reach the door, Xiao Yingze's voice came from behind him again.
"Brother, Luo Luo will be back tomorrow. Have you thought about how to explain to her?"
