Late at night, Xue Ling got up and went to drink water.
Thinking that her second son would go home to sleep today, she poured half a glass of water and strolled towards Xue Yang's room.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xue Ling knocked on the door.
Xue Yang was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with his fingers. When he heard the knock on the door, he turned around. He didn't know if he was scared or something, but he hurriedly blocked the screen with his body.
"mom……?
Haven’t you all gone to bed?”
Xue Ling stared at him in confusion and asked: "What?
Sneaking around in the middle of the night! Playing games?"
"whee!"
Xue Yang giggled.
Xue Ling placed the water glass in his hand on the small sofa nearby and hit him on the arm.
"Drink some water and go to bed early."
"yes!"
Xue Yang nodded hurriedly.
Xue Ling ignored him and yawned and went back to the room.
When passing by the monitor, she remembered what happened to her eldest son, reached out and clicked on the big screen, and found that Lao Chen still hadn't come back. There were only three cars in the garage belonging to her and Cheng Tianyuan, and the remaining one belonged to Xiao Huzi.
It's strange, it's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, why haven't you come back yet?
Is it possible that the eldest son took the opportunity to go out with his girlfriend?
Forget it, forget it, let them have fun, and ask Qiao's father and mother tomorrow when they will come to the house as guests.
In the room, Xue Yang was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
After a while, he got up and sent a QQ message to his brother.
After thinking about it, I still felt uneasy, so I sent WeChat and text messages again, then yawned and went to bed.
The next morning, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan accompanied several elderly people for a walk in the garden.
"Mrs!"
Lao Chen held the car keys and shouted from outside with an anxious expression.
Xue Ling hurriedly walked out and saw that Lao Chen's face looked a little bad, with obvious bags and dark circles under his eyes.
"Old Chen?
What's wrong?
Ran Ran went on a trip last night?"
Lao Chen gave an awkward smile and whispered: "Madam, Master A Ran seems to be... broken in love.
Last night he said he was going to drink in the middle of the night, so I drank with him at the bar until dawn.
I don't trust him, he won't let me call you to tell you.
When it was almost dawn, I finally managed to coax him back."
Xue Ling frowned and asked, "Where is he?"
"The bodyguards have already helped carry him to the room."
Lao Chen replied.
Xue Ling waved his hand: "You go and rest first, I'll go see him."
After saying this, she quickly ran to the boss's room.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the room, I saw the sleepy second son helping to take care of the eldest son.
Cheng Huanran was so drunk that his face turned red, he staggered around and couldn't even sit still.
"mom!"
Xue Yang called for help: "Brother stinks! Come and help him change his clothes!"
Xue Ling had no choice but to step forward to help.
After a long while, Cheng Huanran finally put on clean pajamas, fell on the bed and fell asleep, mumbling something.
Xue Ling pressed the communicator in the room and asked the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover tea.
"Soak some rice and make some bowls of porridge."
Xue Yang brushed his teeth and leaned against the door rail.
"Mom, you still have to ask for leave for me."
Xue Ling called up the number of his cousin Xue Huan and explained that his eldest son was not feeling well last night and was still lying at home. He didn't know if he would need to be on duty today. He hurriedly asked his colleagues to give him a cushion because he couldn't delay his business.
Xue Huan agreed and asked his assistant to deal with it immediately.
"Thanks."
Xue Ling thanked him and put away his phone.
At this time, Xue Yang washed his face, changed his clothes, and hurried back.
"Mom, I have classes after ten o'clock -" "Please ask for leave."
Xue Ling interrupted him and whispered: "It's very wrong for your brother to be like this. Please stay with him for a while."
Xue Yang rolled his eyes and muttered: "Okay then."
"What's going on?"
Cheng Tianyuan walked in, frowning in disgust and scolding: "Is this bastard drunk?
!”
Xue Ling sighed softly and whispered: "I guess we can't reach an agreement... let's break up."
Cheng Tianyuan's eyes darkened slightly and asked: "What can't we agree on?
If we can't reach an agreement, we can have a good talk. Who can he show to him like this?
What are you doing to ruin yourself?
!Thankfully he is still a doctor!”
"Dad, don't blame my brother."
Xue Yang curled his lips and muttered: "It's because his girlfriend's family is too greedy. My brother can't persuade her, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed."
"Too greedy?"
Xue Ling squinted his eyes and darkened his face: "Boy, do you know something?
You tell me!"
Xue Yang was frightened and stopped hurriedly.
"Mom! I don't know anything! Really!"
Xue Ling looked at him coldly and ordered: "Speak."
"……oh."
Xue Yang hesitated: "My brother sent me a message last night... saying that it was just as I expected. Xiao Qiao's parents forced him to show his 'sincerity' and asked my brother to put Xiao Qiao's name on the property under his name."
, not all of it should be pre-marital property, as this would be unfair to Xiao Qiao and make her feel insecure."
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other with calm expressions, as if they had expected this.
"Your brother refuses?
Xiao Qiao broke up with him?
He just drinks to drown his sorrows?"
Xue Yang evaded his eyes and replied: "My brother somewhat agreed in his heart, but he couldn't overcome his own conscience and finally refused.
Xiao Qiao's parents said they were very disappointed with him and were worried that their daughter would not receive any protection in the imperial capital and would be wronged in our family.
Xiao Qiao cried, and my brother felt very uncomfortable.
Later, my brother said... He would not let her be wronged if she married him, but if he wanted to marry the house and shares in his name, he would have to go home and discuss it, because he did not earn those things, and he still doesn't have them now.
Doesn't belong to him.
Brother, he originally wanted to get married for love, but he had to return to the cruel reality in the end. He was disappointed in Xiao Qiao and angry that she didn't trust his ability enough. He was angry and disappointed, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he secretly went to the bar to drink and borrow money.
Wine relieves sorrow."
"How do you know so clearly?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "You were up most of the night last night because you were talking to your brother, right?"
Xue Yang rolled his eyes, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, so he had to nod obediently.
Cheng Tianyuan raised his chin slightly and said calmly: "When he wakes up, ask him what his plan is.
If the love is really deep, then it is up to us to negotiate with the other person's parents.
If you feel that the other person disappoints him too much and wants to break up, then let him do whatever he wants."
After saying that, he hurried to work.
Xue Yang leaned against the door railing with a playful smile on his face.
"Mom, what did dad mean by 'negotiation' just now?
Bargaining like that when doing business?"
"Marriage is inherently realistic."
Xue Ling was also very calm, "Why can't we bargain?
There's no rush, we'll discuss it with your brother when he wakes up."
"No -" Xue Yang couldn't help lowering his voice: "How can you be so calm?
Mom, what my brother wants is a love-style marriage, not a blind date-style material measurement. He wants to find an evenly matched partner to compete with for a lifetime, write a marriage contract or agreement, and only after signing can he get the certificate."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and then smiled.
"Why can't you calm down?
What did we say when we distributed the property to you?
As long as you are willing, you can share your property with your significant other, and we will not forcefully interfere.
Now people are asking for money and housing, and it’s not like we don’t have any, so why can’t we calm down?”
