After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies
Chapter 1120: Without any hope
Seeing that Lin Yuqing seemed hesitant, Xuan'er patted her shoulder and comforted her like a little adult, "Mommy, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't anger Great-Grandpa."
Reaching out to stroke the back of Xuan'er's head, Lin Yuqing said gently, "Baby, there are some things that adults need to do. Children should just grow up happily, okay? So, let Mom and Dad handle this."
“But if there are things that children can do easily, why should their parents have to go through all that trouble?” Xuan’er said matter-of-factly. “Anyway, my great-grandfather won’t hurt me. He still needs me to take over the Xiao family.”
Xiao Mingyang seemed to have little patience. With a stern face, he made a definitive statement: "Alright, stop thinking about it. We will not let you go to the Xiao family's company."
Although Xiao Mingyang's face was terribly gloomy, Xuan'er wasn't afraid of him at all. She looked up and asked, "Why won't you let me try?"
Turning his head to the side, Xiao Mingyang said coldly, "If you go, you'll only be used by Xiao Jincheng. Your mother will be heartbroken!"
Lin Yuqing stood by, completely watching the show, but she didn't expect the two to suddenly mention her, which made her laugh.
Unfortunately, even when Xiao Mingyang brought up Lin Yuqing, Xuan'er still argued vehemently, saying, "But Great-Grandpa is not one to give up easily. Even if we disagree, Great-Grandpa will find other ways to force us to give in. Rather than guessing what Great-Grandpa is thinking, we might as well go with the flow, agree first, and then see what other tricks Great-Grandpa has up his sleeve."
Xuan'er's meticulous words excited Lin Yuqing, who looked at her precious son with great satisfaction. If it weren't for Xiao Mingyang's terrifying gaze, she would definitely have applauded Xuan'er!
Withdrawing his warning gaze, Xiao Mingyang said coldly, "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Although Xiao Mingyang's eyes were terrifying, Xuan'er was not afraid at all. She said calmly and confidently, "I know Dad isn't afraid of Great-Grandpa, but since we don't have anything to do here anyway, why don't we take this opportunity to find out about Great-Grandpa's background? That way, if we ever turn against Great-Grandpa in the future, we'll know what his weaknesses are."
Xiao Mingyang seemed to have heard a very funny joke and mocked mercilessly: "If a child like you could figure out Xiao Jincheng's background, then he wouldn't be qualified to have been in England for so many years!"
"Dad, are you underestimating me?"
"Wrong, I'm not underestimating you, I'm just saying you have absolutely no hope!"
Seeing that the two were arguing and had escalated to personal attacks, Lin Yuqing quickly stopped them from the side.
"Mingyang! How could you do this to Xuan'er? You can't undermine his confidence!"
Xiao Mingyang raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not trying to undermine his confidence, but rather to make him realize the wickedness of this society!"
“Dad, I will experience the world for myself. Your methods are outdated. Don’t you think they’re very backward?”
Outdated? Outdated? Who is this kid talking to!
Xiao Mingyang was furious and was about to teach this brat a lesson, but Lin Yuqing stopped him.
"Mingyang, how old are you? Why are you arguing with a child?"
As Lin Yuqing spoke, she gave Xuan'er a wink, signaling her not to provoke Xiao Mingyang's anger, as he seemed genuinely upset.
Ke Xuan'er was a stubborn child. Before she could finish speaking, she felt uncomfortable. Even if she was going to be scolded by Xiao Mingyang, she still stretched her neck and provocatively said, "What I said is the truth. Why can't I say it? Dad's world is old-fashioned. It will be eliminated sooner or later!"
After saying this, Xuan'er turned and ran away in a flash. Lin Yuqing had never known that her son could run so fast; it was truly unexpected.
Shaking her head helplessly, Lin Yuqing suddenly noticed that there was no anger in Xiao Mingyang's eyes as she turned around; instead, there was a faint smile.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Yuqing realized that Xiao Mingyang wasn't really arguing with Xuan'er; perhaps he was enjoying this unusual father-son time.
Seemingly noticing Lin Yuqing's strange gaze, Xiao Mingyang felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and snorted, "That brat, I'll teach him a lesson one day! Don't stop me then!!"
"Alright, alright, I won't care if you two argue again next time." Lin Yuqing looked at Xiao Mingyang with amusement, not expecting this man to be so childish.
Although she didn't get Xiao Mingyang's approval, Xuan'er still found Xiao Jincheng and agreed to his request.
Xiao Jincheng was somewhat surprised by this answer and asked, "Is this the result you and your parents discussed?"
"Ah."
"Didn't your father object?"
“Yes,” Xuan’er said matter-of-factly, “but I thought about it and realized that we’ve been staying at Great-Grandpa’s place for so long without paying anything. I feel really bad about it, so I decided to do something for Great-Grandpa as a way of paying off our accommodation fees.”
His face, weathered and wrinkled, looked at Xuan'er with an unpredictable expression and said, "I think if you're willing to ask, your father will definitely give you a large sum of money to pay for your so-called accommodation."
Xuan'er seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Xiao Jincheng's tone, and said seriously, "But that money won't help Great-Grandpa much. If I can help Great-Grandpa and also pay off our debts, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
With eyes like a hawk, Xiao Jincheng subtly observed Xuan'er's every subtle expression. He said with a half-smile, "Now that you mention it, it seems to make a lot of sense. In that case, we'll trouble our young master Xuan'er to contribute his modest efforts to the Xiao family."
Hearing Xiao Jincheng's words, Xuan'er seemed very happy and asked, "Then, what does Great-Grandpa need me to do?"
"Starting tomorrow, you will be with me whenever the company holds a board meeting."
Xuan'er seemed surprised, raising an eyebrow and saying, "The Xiao family also has a board of directors?"
Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but chuckle at the childish words, and said, "Of course, the Xiao family has many businesses, how could there not be a board of directors?"
Actually, it's no wonder that Xuan'er misunderstood, since the businesses he was involved in were all illegal businesses related to arms.
Xiao Jincheng felt it necessary to explain the Xiao family's businesses to Xuan'er, so he introduced, "Our Xiao family also has clean businesses, such as real estate and antique trading. However, the profits in these areas are limited. Our Xiao family's real way of making money used to be the arms business. As for the future, Grandpa will tell you slowly."
