Xiao Jincheng remained calm, then suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at Xiao Mingyang. "I've told you long ago that as long as you don't act impulsively, you can get the goods back. If Xiao Mingyang hadn't experienced this firsthand, he wouldn't have believed it was possible."

"Mingyang, what do you think about what I told you?"

Xiao Mingyang was stunned at first, feeling a bit overwhelmed, but he soon understood what Xiao Jincheng meant. He said, "I've thought it through a long time ago, but I just haven't said it out loud."

Xiao Jincheng said "oh" and seemed a little doubtful.

Xiao Mingyang continued, "My career in China has already reached its peak, and further development is almost impossible. So, if Grandpa thinks highly of me and allows me to inherit the Xiao family business, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"It's great that you think so."

Xiao Jincheng finally managed to smile, but he still had some doubts. Xiao Mingyang had been very opposed to this before, and now that he had suddenly agreed to this matter, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be something fishy going on. So, for the sake of fairness, Xiao Jincheng said, "Mingyang, if you want to inherit the Xiao family, you must marry Lilith. Only then can I truly trust you."

This sentence once again brought the atmosphere to a freezing point. Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Mingyang, "Why, you don't want to?"

Xiao Mingyang shook his head. "How could that be? I can marry Lilith, but not now. I always feel that my career hasn't improved yet, and it would be a bad idea to marry her now."

Xiao Jincheng didn't know that Xiao Mingyang was refusing, but if he started to force Xiao Mingyang now, it would only push Xiao Mingyang further away. He looked at Xiao Mingyang with a smile, "Mingyang, you are still the same. Although I can wait for you, Lilith is already old after all. At least give her an identity in advance."

Xiao Mingyang didn't say anything. He thought it was a dream to marry another woman, but he didn't dare to directly reject Xiao Jincheng because he knew that as long as he rejected Xiao Jincheng, he would not even have the chance to escape.

"Ming Yang, since this is your own idea, I won't interfere. But you have to remember that the only granddaughter-in-law the Xiao family can recognize is Lilith. Don't forget this."

Xiao Mingyang didn't say a word, because to him, they meant nothing. His family was far away in the country, and everything he did now was to return home and reunite with them as soon as possible. Since Xiao Jincheng wanted to use this method to keep him, he would give him hope.

"Okay, when I'm familiar with the Xiao family's business, I'll naturally marry Lilith then."

This was just a trick to fool Xiao Jincheng. Only such a lie could make Xiao Jincheng truly believe that he was loyal to the Xiao family.

Xiao Jincheng seemed very satisfied with this answer. He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down. It seems that we have never had such a good chat before. You don't like being close to me?"

This sentence hit the nail on the head for Xiao Mingyang, but he couldn't say such words in front of Xiao Jincheng.

"I think the people of the Xiao family don't seem to need these things to become their ties."

Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Mingyang with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon he smiled, as expected of a descendant of the Xiao family. "Since you know this, then don't make trouble with me because of that woman anymore."

"Of course, it's only because she gave birth to two children. Otherwise, how could I possibly marry her?"

Xiao Mingyang apologized a thousand times in his heart. He knew clearly that he shouldn't say such words, but other than that, he really felt that he seemed to have no better way. Only by completely overthrowing Xiao Jincheng would he have a chance to get rid of this huge trouble. To get rid of the threat of Xiao Jincheng, the best way was to gain his trust first.

"Ming Yang, I'm very happy that you think this way. I will hold a board meeting in a few days and officially let you take over my job. I hope that by then you can truly carry forward the Xiao family."

Perhaps this is Xiao Jincheng's only request. For the sake of the Xiao family, he would even go to any lengths to bring Xiao Mingyang back. He didn't know that this child had such ability before. He actually met him again twenty years later. It means that God has destined him to become the heir of the Xiao family.

Xiao Mingyang remained silent. Perhaps keeping silent was his best choice at this time.

"Come sit over here and watch the sunset with me. I don't have much time left."

Although Xiao Jincheng looks much better than before, only he knows that his organs have been declining. Even his vision has become blurred. He will not be willing to accept this unless he trains Xiao Mingyang into an excellent successor as soon as possible.

Sitting next to Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Mingyang didn't say much, just sat there quietly.

Accompanying Xiao Jincheng to watch the sunset outside, in fact, he hadn't been so calm and looked outside for a long time. He had been thinking about how to escape from here, and actually forgot that he and Lin Yuqing were actually looking at the same sky.

At this moment, Lin Yuqing was preparing breakfast. She got up early in the morning because she had to send the two little ones to school. It had been a long time since they had been alone together like this. Zhenzhen and Xuan'er were also very happy. They all got up before Lin Yuqing called them.

"Mommy, I want a hug."

Zhenzhen opened her arms and was still wearing a cute cartoon nightgown.

Lin Yuqing was full of smiles, but her hands were still stained with flour. She said to Zhenzhen, "Mommy still needs to make breakfast for Zhenzhen. Can you hold her later?"

Zhenzhen nodded obediently and walked towards Xuan'er again, "Brother, give me a hug."

Xuan Er had a cool expression on his face, "No."

Lin Yuqing, who was preparing breakfast, almost laughed out loud because of Xuan'er's words. This little guy Xuan'er is now developing more and more like Xiao Mingyang. She didn't think so before, but since that camping trip, Xuan'er seems to have changed a little. No one knows what happened, even Lin Yuqing doesn't know.

"Mommy, brother, don't hug me."

Lin Yuqing put the finished bread into the oven, then went to wash her hands and came over, "Xuan'er, be nicer to your sister."

Xuan Er, however, seemed particularly cold and said, "No, you're so stupid."

Originally, she thought it was just a child's joke, but when she heard Xuan'er say this, Lin Yuqing became serious, "Xuan'er, you can't say that to Zhenzhen!"

This time she was really angry. Xuan'er had always been nice before, at least he would never say that to Zhenzhen.
