After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Reaching out to wipe the sweat from Xuan's forehead, Xiao Jincheng looked pleased and said, "You've been taking combat classes for a while now, so I've come today to see if you've made any progress."

Upon hearing this, Xuan'er looked delighted and boasted, "Great-Grandpa, I'm not just bragging, but my teacher just praised me, saying that my movements are very standard and I'm improving very quickly."

Nodding approvingly, Xiao Jincheng said, "You truly are worthy of being my great-grandson. You are intelligent and quick-witted. You are definitely the most intelligent person and heir in the history of the Xiao family."

Seemingly a little embarrassed by the praise, Xuan'er wiped her forehead with a towel but didn't say anything.

Looking at Xuan'er's appearance, Xiao Jincheng had to admit that since Lin Yuqing moved into the Xiao family home, Xuan'er had become much more lively and cheerful. It seems that a mother's influence on her child is truly significant.

A strange light flashed in Xiao Jincheng's eyes, and he suddenly asked, "Xuan'er, do you know why your great-grandfather has gone to such lengths to raise you?"

"I know, because you want Xuan'er to grow up quickly so that she can take over the Xiao family."

Nodding in satisfaction, Xiao Jincheng continued, "If you had the chance to fulfill your great-grandfather's wish ahead of schedule, would you help him?"

Xuan'er was taken aback, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Xiao Jincheng's words.

With a gentler smile, Xiao Jincheng explained in his kindest voice, "Aunt Lilith has left the Xiao family, and I have no one else to rely on, so Great-Grandpa hopes you can take Lilith's place!"

"Let me take Lilith's place?" Xuan'er scratched his head, looking confused and bewildered. "But Xuan'er doesn't understand anything. Why not let Daddy do these things?"

Xiao Jincheng no longer intends to involve Xiao Mingyang in the Xiao family's businesses. Leaving aside whether he would agree to the family's involvement in the drug industry, Xiao Mingyang's resentment towards him alone is enough to destroy the Xiao family.

Compared to Xiao Mingyang, Xuan'er, though still young, is clever yet naive, practically a blank slate that can be manipulated at will.

Comparing the two, Xiao Jincheng would naturally choose Xuan'er. Although this choice came a few years earlier, the situation was urgent, and there was no time to consider minor details.

Looking at Xuan'er with encouraging eyes, Xiao Jincheng coughed twice and said, "Your father's heart isn't in this; he won't put his heart into managing the family business. But you're different. You care so much about your great-grandfather, so you'll definitely help him with this, won't you?"

"But……"

"Don't worry, if there's anything you don't know, your great-grandfather can teach you. We'll take it slowly." Before Xuan'er could say anything more, Xiao Jincheng interrupted him and tried his best to persuade him, "Your great-grandfather is getting old, and his health is deteriorating day by day. I originally wanted Lilith to help your great-grandfather with some of the burden, but she just passed away. Now your great-grandfather can only rely on you."

Such a heavy burden was placed on Xuan'er's young body. But if he didn't agree to Xiao Jincheng's request, who knew what tricks Xiao Jincheng would come up with to force him to comply?

Biting her lip, Xuan'er lowered her head and considered for a moment before cautiously saying, "Great-Grandpa, then... can I go back and discuss it with Mom and Dad?"

“Of course!” Xiao Jincheng did not object to Xuan’er’s suggestion, because he believed that Xiao Mingyang would definitely not agree, but he had his own way of making Xuan’er agree willingly.

After hearing Xuan'er relay Xiao Jincheng's words, Xiao Mingyang indeed refused outright.

Sitting next to Lin Yuqing, Xuan'er was filled with anxiety and whispered, "But we're living in Great-Grandpa's house, not contributing any money or effort, and Dad always gives Great-Grandpa a hard time. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Turning around and glaring at Xuan'er, Xiao Mingyang said, "I don't want to freeload at this old fox's place! If it weren't for you, your mommy and I would have left this awful place long ago!"

"Why are you yelling at your son!" Lin Yuqing punched Xiao Mingyang in dissatisfaction, reminding him, "Xuan'er is still a child. How can he resist Xiao Jincheng's arrangements? We, as Xuan'er's parents, should be racking our brains to find a solution."

Xiao Mingyang had initially looked like he was about to devour someone, but after his mother said something, he immediately lost his temper. His fawning, obsequious expression was truly hilarious!

Seeing Xuan'er's amused expression, Xiao Mingyang was furious, but with Lin Yuqing beside him, he could only suppress his temper and pretend to be calm, saying, "Xiao Jincheng has been in charge of the Xiao family for so many years, how could he not have a single capable person? His excuse can only fool a child like Xuan'er!"

"Putting aside what help Xuan'er can offer, those old fogies in the Xiao family would never tolerate her staying. This concerns their interests, how could they let a child get a share!"

“Dad, I think Great-Grandpa wants to use me to lull the Xiao family elders into a false sense of security,” Xuan’er said, holding the apple Lin Yuqing handed her. “Those people will definitely think, what use can a little kid be? They’ll just pay lip service to what I say. Then Great-Grandpa can find an excuse to kick them all out of the Xiao family one by one.”

Lin Yuqing and Xiao Mingyang exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Lin Yuqing leaned down and kissed Xuan'er on the cheek, praising, "I never expected my Xuan'er to be so smart. Even Mom and Dad didn't think of this possibility."

Xuan'er was very happy to receive his mother's praise. However, in Xiao Mingyang's eyes, his smile contained a hint of showing off.

With a cold snort, Xiao Mingyang crossed his arms and said, "Hmph, I was just angry. Otherwise, I would definitely have thought of this possibility."

Lin Yuqing sensed the jealousy in Xiao Mingyang's tone and couldn't help but laugh, "Your son is more outstanding than you, what's there to be angry about? You should be happy."

"This brat is only six years old, how is he better than me?"

Xiao Mingyang seemed unwilling to accept this fact and argued his case forcefully. However, Lin Yuqing's mind was no longer on him. She turned to look at Xuan'er and asked softly, "Don't pay attention to him, Xuan'er, let's continue. So, according to your suggestion, are you planning to agree to Great-Grandpa's request?"

With an apple in her mouth, Xuan'er pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should test Great-Grandpa first. It's not too late to agree after we figure out his true intentions. After all, what I just said was just my own speculation. Anyway, my role right now is just a facade, and I don't have any real function."

Is a six-year-old child testing Xiao Jincheng?

Hearing Xuan'er's words, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but click her tongue, thinking to herself that these guys really were a family!
