I don't know how long it took.

The music of the old-fashioned tape recorder stopped for a long, long time before Mrs. Cao opened her eyes and said to Cao Jianguo, "Sit down." ”

Cao Jianguo didn't move, lowered his head, and said, "Father, I'll just stand like this, so that I can feel better." ”

If it was before, the old lady would definitely reprimand.

Such a Cao Jianguo will definitely make him angry.

What if it fails?

Just get up again.

But today, he didn't say anything more, but changed the topic and said: "Recently, my health has been getting worse day by day, and I always cough, I wonder maybe she is thinking about me below, maybe, it won't be long before I should leave, so I want you to come back and see you again." ”

When she spoke, Mrs. Cao's expression was calm and her expression was very sincere.

But Cao Jianguo and Cao Ying were extremely distressed.

The old lady has been hit.

In this life, the first half of his life was spent working hard for the liberation of the country and the nation, which was for everyone, and the second half of his life was dedicated to bringing the Cao family to glory, which was for the sake of the small family.

However, he had already achieved his goal, but after such a catastrophic change, he was sad, sad, and disappointed, and it was reasonable.

"Father, has the doctor seen it?"

Cao Jianguo asked.

The old lady smiled: "I've seen it, there's nothing wrong with it." ”

Cao Ying bit her lip and said, "Why don't I ask Tang Xiaobao to come over and treat you, his medical skills are very good, he will definitely be able to-"

Old Lady Cao suddenly frowned and waved her hand: "Do you think I still have the face to see him?"

Suddenly, Cao Jianguo's face burned badly.

Father was scolding him.

Shame!

If it weren't for my greed, what would have happened!

At this time, Cao Jianguo had a strong sense of guilt.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

"Father, I'm sorry I let you down. ”

"Get up!"

Old lady Cao suddenly reprimanded: "Is this useful? Our Cao family, our bones should be harder, don't kneel at every turn!"

"I-"

"What, my words are not good?"

Old lady Cao's face was a little ugly.

Cao Jianguo had no choice but to stand up, he lowered his head and said, "Father, I'm ready, in the future, Xiaoying will manage the company's affairs, I'm not as good as her, I can't drag down the family anymore." ”

Cao Ying suddenly turned her head to look at the second uncle.

"I disagree. ”

She didn't want to clean up the mess.

You lost all your family, and now you want me to take over, why?

"Xiaoying, I was really wrong before, I shouldn't be so greedy, let alone rush for quick success, in fact, I regretted it later, but there is no turning back, no matter what, you and I are surnamed Cao, I can't let the Cao family be destroyed in my hands again, I believe you can bring the Cao family back to life." ”

Cao Jianguo apologized ashamedly.

The old lady didn't say anything, just watched coldly.

Perhaps, such a result was expected by him, or it was his decision in the first place.

He didn't die for a day, and he could be the master of this family.

This may not be good, but this is a habit that has been cultivated for decades, usually he can let go, and when it is critical, he can make a decision.

Cao Ying stopped talking, her brows furrowed.

She didn't want to take over, but Cao Jianguo's words were not entirely unreasonable.

Everyone knows her relationship with Tang Xiaobao, and this is to take advantage of this relationship.

But this is something that she has a special hard time accepting.

She hopes that the friendship between herself and Tang Xiaobao is pure, and nothing else is involved.

This, of course, is inherently impure.

Between men and women, men are affectionate, women are intentional, but they have never pierced that layer of paper, can this be pure?

It seems that this is how things are going to be settled.

But at this moment, a loud voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard.

"I disagree. ”

Cao Pingzhi walked in.

He seemed to be much calmer.

Cao Jianguo was persuaded and yelled at him: "You get out of here." ”

He's angry with his son.

At the beginning, if Cao Pingzhi hadn't instigated him many times, there would not be today.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Let me get out?" Cao Pingzhi was still laughing: "Why? Grandpa is still here, am I not surnamed Cao? Did I pick it up from the side of the road back then? Since my surname is Cao, such an important matter, let me participate in it, express my opinion, is there anything wrong? Am I not qualified? Or have I done something wrong? What mortal crime has I committed? Touching my conscience, I can say very responsibly that everything I have always done has been for the sake of my family, and this is my wish since I was a child! ”

"You-"

Cao Jianguo wanted to scold his son, but suddenly found that he had no way to refute it.

Yes, from the son's point of view, he did not do anything wrong.

Old lady Cao spoke: "Okay, you tell me your reasons, or you have a better plan." ”

"I admit that I am not as good as Xiaoying, but this time, I am also responsible, as a descendant of the Cao family, I must stand up and assume the obligations I should bear, the company is handed over to Xiaoying to manage, I have no opinion, but I want the dozen hospitals, as well as the five percent shares of Huimin Pharmaceutical. ”

Cao Pingzhi didn't know why, but he actually became very calm.

Cao Jianguo frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, now that our Cao Group has lost money like this, it is almost empty, you still want to set up your own portal? Aren't you scattering resources like this?"

"Resources scattered?"

Cao Pingzhi said with a smile: "Perhaps, this is the best way, for example, if there was no Xiaoying in Yanjing to set up her own door, our real estate company will also lose money this time, right?

Cao Jianguo sighed and had nothing to say.

The whole family looked at the old lady.

Major decisions have to be made by the old lady.

This is the rule of the Cao family.

After a while, Mrs. Cao said: "Since you have said so, I have nothing to say, I don't seem to support you and I can't say it." ”

That's the final word.

Cao Jianguo looked at Cao Ying apologetically.

Cao Pingzhi was truly relieved.

Now that his father has made up his mind and he has figured it out, he can't sway his father's determination, so he retreats to the next best.

As long as he can give him a piece of land for himself, he has the confidence to build a foundation of his own.

Cao Ying said: "Grandpa, it's better to let my cousin manage the company, my ability is limited, Yanjing's real estate company, I have a hard time managing it." ”

Old lady Cao said lightly: "Xiaoying, you are also surnamed Cao, at this time, you don't have to shirk, although our family has experienced this change, but I am not dead, our spirit cannot be defeated, listen to your second uncle's words, the family will depend on you in the future." ”

"But—"

Old Lady Cao suddenly began to cough again.

After a while, he came to his senses, took the hot tea sent by Cao Ying, he took a sip, then grabbed Cao Ying's hand, patted it, and sighed: "Grandpa is old, and others can't count on it, do you understand?"

Cao Ying was bitter and distressed in his heart, but he finally didn't refuse anymore.

It's just that he suddenly felt that his grandfather's clapping action seemed to put a lot of pressure on him, as if the entire family had been handed over to him.

Old lady Cao got up and walked back to the old house.

"I'll go lie down for a while, and you all go about your business. ”

Seeing Mrs. Cao leave, Cao Ying's mood was extremely heavy.
