After returning to the wealthy family, I was abused by my biological parents

Chen Ping'an looked at the two girls over there and nodded deliberately.

“Well, you’re right.

Although I didn't have much contact with her, she saved me twice.

I will find a suitable opportunity to tell her your evaluation of her."

Chen Xiaolong looked at him blankly.

“You are such a person?

I thought you would try your best to get into this project team.

Do you know my position in this group?

You and I are here to learn, but I have more experience and abilities than you, so you are under my control, understand?"

Chen Xiaolong said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll make things difficult for you?"

Chen Pingan suddenly discovered something interesting about Chen Xiaolong.

This kid doesn't look aloof nor easygoing, it's just... he always has an indifferent attitude towards some things.

Now he finally showed the habits of a normal 18 or 19-year-old.

"Hehe, you think I'm scared?

At most, making things difficult for me means I have to do more work.

I came here to learn.

You are going to focus on training me. Hahaha..."

Chen Pingan looked at him with a smile, and after a while he stopped smiling and asked seriously:

"What are you best at?"

Chen Xiaolong looked up and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Chen Pingan said to himself: "I don't want to beat around the bush with you.

Let me tell you what I think directly."

He pointed upstairs and said, "There's a meeting going on inside, probably discussing the details of the cooperation.

You should be very clear that the reason we can participate in this event is to train you to become the successor to the head of the family.

As for me, I was trained to be your assistant.

After all, I am not a member of the Chen family, you know that.

So I don't want to have any conflicts with you, not only because of my parents, but also because I'm not very interested in being the head of the family. Unless there's no one left, I probably won't take on the role."

Chen Xiaolong did not answer his question, but turned and pointed at Huo Shiyun who was not far away.

"Do you know why she came?"

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Chen Xiaolong chuckled, "The Huo family is different from all other families.

Their family is a strange contradiction.

On the one hand, they want to keep up with the times, and they do a good job in this regard.

The other side wants to maintain those disgusting traditions.

For example, I really don't have a good outlook on your future as a senior student."

Chen Pingan frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean? Can you tell me more details?"

Chen Xiaolong turned around and stood side by side with him, facing Huo Shiyun and his sister.

"All the women in the Huo family are used for marriage, unless they can stand on their own, there are no exceptions.

Think about it, my aunt was so powerful back then. She’s a professor now, but isn’t she still being used for marriage arrangements?

I remember that I was supposed to marry my second uncle, but he ran away with his wife.

Do you know how embarrassed your aunt was at that time?"

His voice was very calm when he said this, "But even so, why did she turn around and marry my uncle?

She was one of the talented women of Tsinghua University back then, but in the end she was used for marriage.

Just for this reason, I have never liked the Huo family.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Shiyun should be the school beauty goddess that everyone pays attention to. But do you think such a person can decide her own future?

It's really naive.

You said before that she might marry me. To be honest, I really don’t like it!

I, Chen Xiaolong, really don't want a woman who doesn't know how to fight her fate!

Chen Pingan grinned slightly, wanting to laugh but holding it back.

“Well, I kind of know what you mean by fighting fate.

What would you do if your father really wanted you to marry her?

It seems like she is older than you. A woman who is three years older than you is more likely to bring wealth. You must know this."

Chen Xiaolong shook his head, "I won't marry someone I don't like.

How old am I? It's still too early. By the time I want to get married, she will be old and ugly. Wouldn't it be better for me to find an 18-year-old girl?

Such a strong woman, if I marry her, will cause trouble to me every day?

I’m not stupid!”

Chen Pingan didn't expect him to think so.

After a brief thought, he was about to speak when Chen Xiaolong continued:

“I didn’t answer your question about the position of the Patriarch just now because I didn’t know how to say it.

You are a member of the Chen family, there is no doubt about that.

As long as your second uncle approves of you, no one dares to say anything.

As for whether you can be the head of the family, it depends on whether you consider yourself a member of the Chen family.

Our family is different from other families.

The position of head of the family is never fixed to any one family.

For example, my uncle and my father could both be the head of the family. The key is one thing, which is the choice made by my grandfather, and the other is whether they are willing to do so.

So as long as you consider yourself a member of the Chen family and the head of the family looks favorably upon you, then of course you can sit in the position of head of the family."

Chen Pingan looked at him and asked after a moment: "Don't you want to be the head of the family?"

Chen Xiaolong shook his head. "No! Not at all. Too tired."

"Whether you want to or not may not have much to do with it. I think this time we are here to learn." Chen Pingan scratched his face, "I want to participate because I want to learn about this aspect.

It's not that I want to compete with you for the position of head of the family.

What I am fighting for is how much resources my family can give me in the future, so that I can do something I like in the future.

Like you, I really don't have much interest in big family affairs.

So you don't have to worry about me arguing with you.

And if it weren't for my dad, I probably wouldn't have come.

Normally at this time I would be sleeping or watching foreign market trends."

Chen Xiaolong glanced at him sideways, "Do you think I care?

If it weren't for my mom, I wouldn't have come back at all!

I am free outside, how wonderful! "

Chen Pingan looked at Huo Shijun and Chen Yangyang, both of whom had already sat down. He smiled and said, "Look, Senior Sister Huo Shijun and your sister, they get along really well.

Could it be a conversation between an aunt and a sister-in-law?"

Chen Xiaolong ignored him and asked, "What did you mean by asking me what I'm best at?"

Chen Pingan shrugged and said, "Of course I will cooperate with you. I have a photographic memory and a good memory. I know a little bit about investment, but nothing else.

If we can understand each other better, future collaborations will go much more smoothly, and we won't lose points in front of our elders, right?"

Chen Xiaolong said disapprovingly: "You underestimate the power of the patriarch.

As long as my dad says so, there will basically be no twists and turns.

Besides, isn’t your dad cooperating with my dad now?

As long as they are satisfied, no one else matters."

Chen Pingan smiled. "Yeah, I'm talking about how you'll impress the Huo family elders this time when you're working with them."

Chen Xiaolong glanced at Huo Shiyun and said, "I don't care.

I'll go back to Europe once things here are over.

I have a lot of things to deal with over there!

Although Fifth Uncle is extremely capable, he doesn't like to show up. He really can't do without me!"

"Fifth Uncle?" A photo quickly appeared in Chen Ping'an's mind.

Chen Ziliang, the fifth child of the Chen family, went abroad after middle school and never returned.
