Xiao Weiwei was slapped by the old lady and ran out, but was stopped by Xiao Changqian before she could run out of the yard.
Xiao Changqian persuaded her to come back, but she refused to obey. She always felt that Mrs. Xiao was largely responsible for ending up in this situation. If it weren't for her, how could she be so miserable?
So, she was so angry that she wanted to run away from home, as far away as possible.
But her father's words still made her give up the idea.
Xiao Changqian said earnestly: "Weiwei, you are running away from home, where are you going? You don't even have a job, and there is no place to live outside. You are a girl, and you can't go out to rent a house and work at this time. Right? Your grandma did something wrong, but besides relying on your grandma, what other options do we have now? After all, she is the head of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Weiwei was silent for a moment, thinking over and over what her father had said.
After leaving the Xiao family, I really have nowhere to go. I can't live on the street, right? After all, I am the second young lady of the Xiao family in the eyes of others. If I live on the street, won't I be laughed at to death?
So she could only say aggrievedly: "Dad, grandma is too domineering and authoritarian. How about we move out..."
Xiao Changqian sighed and said: "Move out? If you move out now, you will lose everything. How many years can your grandma live at most? When she dies, this villa and other assets of the Xiao family will belong to our family." Yes, this is our home. What if we move out and your second uncle and his family come back? Then there will be nothing left."
Xiao Weiwei suddenly realized.
Although Xiao Churan's family has a bad relationship with the old lady now, if they move out of their home, they will probably take advantage of them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Weiwei shed tears of grievance and said: "But there is no solution if we continue like this. I can't stand her anymore."
Xiao Changqian had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't think about it so much. After all, there are guests at home, and we can't let the guests see the joke. When the guests leave, dad will give you some money, and you can go on a trip and relax."
Xiao Weiwei nodded slightly, agreed, and said: "Okay..."
When she followed her father back to the villa, Mrs. Xiao had just sent Xiao Yiqian into the guest room herself and walked downstairs alone.
Seeing Xiao Weiwei coming back, she hurried forward and said apologetically: "Weiwei, it was grandma who was wrong just now. Grandma was impulsive and apologized to you. I hope you can forgive grandma!"
Mrs. Xiao also hoped that Xiao Weiwei could deal with Xiao Yiqian, so when she saw Xiao Weiwei coming back, the first thing she did was to apologize.
Xiao Weiwei also didn't expect that her grandma would take the initiative to apologize. This was extremely rare for a grandma who had been tough all her life, so she felt a lot better all of a sudden.
Mrs. Xiao took Xiao Weiwei's hand, sat down on the sofa, and said earnestly: "Weiwei, our family is facing great difficulties now. You know this, right?"
Xiao Weiwei nodded: "Grandma, I know."
"Now that your engagement has been annulled by the Wang family, you have become a joke in Jinling. Although grandma doesn't want to mention it, it is also true. You should be aware of it, right?"
When talking about this matter, Xiao Weiwei couldn't help crying again.
The whole Jinling knew that she was a woman whose engagement was broken off by the Wang family, so if she wanted to marry into a wealthy family in this life, it would be basically impossible.
At least, it's not possible in Jinling.
Therefore, her own future immediately became extremely slim.
Old Mrs. Xiao helped her wipe away her tears and said seriously: "Weiwei, you used to be a little princess in our family. I doted on you, your parents also doted on you, and your brother also doted on you, so
You didn't study hard before, and you didn't want to work after graduation. That's okay. But now our family is different. You must change. You must mature as soon as possible and share some of the responsibilities for this family. Otherwise
If it does, we will only get worse and worse."
Xiao Weiwei nodded repeatedly and said guiltily: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I used to be too playful and didn't learn any skills. I couldn't help my family share the worries..."
Mrs. Xiao held her hand tightly and said seriously: "Weiwei, what happened in the past is in the past. You are grandma's precious second granddaughter. How could grandma blame you and complain about you?"
As she spoke, the old lady said earnestly: "Now, there is an excellent opportunity that can accomplish multiple things with one stone. Not only can it solve the family's crisis, but it can also give you a chance to get back on your feet. It can even make you a
Master Ren, do you want to catch him?"
When Xiao Weiwei heard this, she immediately nodded and said excitedly: "Grandma, I think so!"
When Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong heard this, they also hurriedly gathered around.
Among them, Xiao Changqian couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Mom, is there any good idea?"
Mrs. Xiao said seriously: "It's Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yiqian who live in the guest room upstairs!"
"He?" Xiao Changqian asked hurriedly: "He promised to help us?"
"No." Old Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "He is not related to us to be honest. He is here only for his father's last wish and has no obligation to help us."
Xiao Changqian didn't quite understand and asked: "Then what do you mean?"
Mrs. Xiao said: "I mean, let Weiwei seize this opportunity given by Xiao Yiqian! I can see that he is interested in Weiwei!"
Xiao Changqian was shocked and blurted out: "Mom, are you asking Weiwei to accompany that Xiao Yiqian? He is older than me!"
"So what?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked back: "Is there any problem with being older? Wang Yunfei is not very old. Weiwei has been with him for so long and even had an abortion for him. What happened? In addition to hurting Weiwei, he
,What else did you give Weiwei?"
Xiao Changqian said anxiously: "That is also normal love between a man and a woman, but Xiao Yiqian is already an old man!"
Mrs. Xiao said seriously: "What's wrong with the old man? The old man is rich, powerful, well-connected and resourceful. If you follow him, won't you get everything you want?"
Xiao Changqian waved his hands vigorously: "No, no! I think the matter between Weiwei and Wang Yunfei is acceptable, but if she and Xiao Yiqian are allowed to be together, how can I, a father, accept it?"
"Can't accept it?" Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly and asked, "Then can you accept being poor? If the Xiao Group goes bankrupt, what inheritance can you inherit from me? This old villa? Don't forget, Xiao Group
The group still owes bank loans. When the time comes for bankruptcy and liquidation, the court will take back this villa! I don’t care, I don’t have a few more years to live. What about you? What will you do then? Like Xiao Changkun, live in a shabby house.
A dilapidated tube building?!"
Xiao Changqian was speechless for a moment...
He doesn't want to betray his daughter, but he also doesn't want to suffer poverty...
Just when he didn't know what to do, Xiao Weiwei, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Grandma, if he can help the Xiao Group, then I am willing to accompany him! But I have a condition!"
Mrs. Xiao asked excitedly: "What are the conditions?!"
Xiao Weiwei gritted her teeth and said: "I want to be the director of Xiao Group! The same position that Xiao Churan held before!"
