The reason why the Han Group has been able to grow and develop over the past year is entirely due to the care of the Yaoyuan Group. If this big tree is lost, the Han Group will be nothing.
When Han Ximu heard this, he looked at his father with disappointment and asked.
"Father, do we, the Han family, have to rely on the Xiao family to survive? You have also seen the attitude of the Xiao family today. They have never taken us seriously. Why do you have to rely on others and want to use me?
Is marriage a deal?”
Snapped……
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the room, and Mr. Han slapped Han Ximu on the face. Han Ximu fell directly onto the sofa. Mr. Han looked angry and growled at Han Ximu.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by looking up to others? Do you think you have lived in a villa abroad for more than a year, driven a sports car, and where did you get the money to buy this and that? If your father hadn't always looked at people's faces, you would have had such luxury.
Life? Now you are pretending to be noble in front of me. Didn't you take the initiative to seek help from the Xiao family? "
Mr. Han looked at his daughter with a gloomy face. His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger, and he did not feel any remorse for the slap just now.
Mrs. Han on the side had been frightened for a long time, fearing that her husband was being violent, so she hurriedly protected her daughter.
"Husband, Xiao Xi is just confused for a moment, why are you so worried about your child?"
"Hmph, listen to what she just said. After staying abroad for more than a year, I really thought that I was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and she actually said such rebellious words."
"Okay, okay, it's very late today. I want Xiao Xi to go back and rest. We can talk about anything tomorrow. Didn't the Xiao family's specific attitude not be revealed yet?"
Mrs. Han tried to smooth things over while pulling Han Ximu towards the door.
Mr. Han was furious and said as he looked at his daughter and wife walking away.
"Han Ximu, let me remind you, without the Xiao family, you are nothing. Let alone the Mu family's dinner tonight, even if you return to Luo City, others will only look down upon you."
Mr. Han is stimulating his daughter and reminding her that only by relying on the big tree of the Xiao family can the Han family become a master.
Han Ximu didn't want to say anything, but when he heard this, he stopped, turned around and looked at his father and said.
"So, are you going to let your daughter cling to Xiao Yiheng shamelessly? Didn't you just want to know why Xiao Yiheng came to me alone? Okay, let me tell you now, he asked us to take the initiative to terminate the engagement.
By the way, there is one more thing I have to let you know. Aren't you all curious at the beginning why Xiao Yiheng suddenly proposed to get engaged to me? Do you really think he likes me? No, how could such an outstanding man like me?
I, the reason why he agreed is because this is just a transaction."
"What? What deal? Please explain it to me clearly."
When Mr. Han heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he kept asking questions. Even Mrs. Han beside her forgot to pull her daughter away.
Han Ximu smiled bitterly and said.
"Xiao Yiheng has always felt that he owed the Han family because of what happened to his brother, so I used this kindness to make a deal with him. The engagement will be automatically terminated after two years of engagement. During this period, the Xiao family will do their best to help the Han Group resolve its bankruptcy.
Crisis, so from the very beginning, my engagement with him was emotionless, do you understand?"
"I don't care what the deal is. You are Xiao Yiheng's fiancée now. Han Ximu, please clear your mind. For the sake of the Han family, this engagement must not be terminated."
Mr. Han scolded him sternly and said that he just pretended that he had never heard of what happened just now. He was Xiao Yiheng's father-in-law and this could not be changed.
Han Ximu wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Han stopped her and the two of them went to Han Ximu's room.
"Xiao Xi, do you really want to terminate your engagement with Xiao Yiheng?"
A good daughter is like a mother, how could Mrs. Han not know her daughter's thoughts?
Of course Han Ximu didn't want to, but there was nothing she could do. After hearing her mother's question, she fell tiredly on the bed and said helplessly.
"Mom, you saw that I liked Xiao Yiheng when I was very young. How could I want to terminate the engagement with him? But that man Xiao Yiheng is too cold. Even if I don't want to, he will terminate the engagement. If the Xiao family proposes it first
If we come out, our Han family will have no place in Luo City."
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Han sat on the bedside and said to Han Ximu.
"Didn't you say that you and he agreed to terminate the engagement after two years? Aren't there still several months before the two-year engagement? If during this period, we can ask him to change his decision soon, okay?"
"How is it possible? He hasn't changed his decision for more than a year. What's the use of these few months?"
Han Ximu no longer had any hope in the relationship between her and Xiao Yiheng, but in Mrs. Han's view, anything could happen at the last moment, she said with a confident face.
"Xiao Xi, why are you so stupid? You have only met a few times in more than a year. This relationship needs to be cultivated slowly, but you can't even see each other. How can you cultivate a relationship? Didn't you say that when you come back this time, you plan to
Do you work at the Kyoto Ballet? There will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future. If there is a chance to make a living, marriage is not a matter of course. Is it possible that the Xiao family does not want their own grandson? "
When Mrs. Han said this, Han Ximu seemed to see hope again and immediately sat up from the bed.
"Mom, is this okay? And according to you, won't it seem like I'm being too proactive?"
Han Ximu said coyly, but Mrs. Han looked unconcerned and held Han Ximu's hand.
"What's wrong with taking the initiative? If you can't take the initiative when you meet the person you want, how can you succeed in anything? Besides, what age is this? What's wrong with women taking the initiative? Just do it boldly.
Men? There are some who can resist temptation."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Han paused and said again.
"Your father and I will meet with the Xiao family in two days. Then we will tell you that you have no place to live when you first come to Kyoto. We will find a way for you and Xiao Yiheng to live together. The rest will be up to you, you know? From now on.
Put away your young lady temper, men don’t like girls who are too arrogant, do you understand?”
"Well, thank you, Mom? Don't worry, as long as I can live with Yiheng, I will be sure to become his."
"Is this right? Have some confidence in yourself. Our Xiao Xi is also a beauty. Don't all men like beautiful women?"
After some enlightenment, Han Ximu's ambition expanded again, sweeping away the haze just now.
At No. 1 Dongwan, Xiao Yihe and the others returned here to settle several elders. Xiao Yihe came to Xiao Yiheng's room with a document.
As soon as he walked in, the room was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. He frowned subconsciously, and then found Xiao Yiheng on the balcony.
"Here are the things you asked for. They are all ready."
Xiao Yiheng glanced at the document in Xiao Yihe's hand, then pointed to the cigarette case on the coffee table and asked.
"Have one?"
"Farewell, as you know, my mother doesn't like me smoking, so I won't get punished tomorrow morning."
The sons of the Xiao family are as ferocious as Tibetan mastiffs outside, but when they come home, each one of them becomes a little puppy, obedient and filial.
Xiao Yiheng heard it, smiled, and put out the cigarette in his hand. Then he picked up the document, opened it, looked at it, and put it away again.
"Thank you, it's no loss and I will make up for it in the future."
A piece of land worth several billions, if the Yaoyuan Group develops it on its own, it can make profits of hundreds of millions at least.
"As a family, why are you so polite? Don't forget, you are also a shareholder of the group."
Xiao Yihe said with some seriousness that there was no need to care about the gains and losses between them.
Then, Xiao Yihe asked again.
"The Han family, when are you going to tell me? You also saw this situation tonight. It is probably not easy to handle. When I came back, I heard my mother say that they will go back to Los Angeles next weekend. Grandpa
They don’t feel at ease even if grandma is at home.”
"Just these few days, I also want to solve it quickly."
Xiao Yiheng couldn't wait any longer. He had already identified someone and didn't want to keep her hidden.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yihe joked.
"Xiaodai's classmate, when are you going to introduce us to him?"
When Mo Xi was mentioned, Xiao Yiheng's coldness gradually dissipated and he said in a low voice.
"Let's wait for a while, I'm afraid it will scare her."
When Xiao Yiheng said this, Xiao Yihe smiled softly and said.
"Brother, I always thought you were the coldest one, but I didn't expect you to be the first to make a decision in the end."
"What about you, the one I met at the company that day? She seems to be a smart woman."
"Her? Forget it, don't say it, it will affect your mood. It's getting late. I want to go back to the room. You should go to bed early."
After saying that, Xiao Yihe left Xiao Yiheng's room. Seeing the repulsive expression on Xiao Yihe's face, Xiao Yiheng became more sure of his guess and stopped Xiao Yihe when he was about to reach the door.
"Yihe, you can't escape feelings. If you like it, seize the opportunity. Think about how much time uncle and aunt have wasted. How much time can be wasted in this life?"
Xiao Yiheng's words did not receive a response from Xiao Yihe in the end. Looking at Xiao Yihe's silently leaving figure, Xiao Yiheng could only sigh helplessly.
