Chapter 201: Give an Explanation!
Xiao Xu, who was sitting below Xiao Sheng, looked sullen, with a calm face, as if he was a little unhappy.
Zhang Qian's phone call at noon today, when he talked about 'Golden Ebony', he could hear that Zhang Qian's tone was a little cold.
I originally wanted to ask his father what the Xiao family planned for this matter, but as soon as he called his father, before he could ask, he was called by his father to Mr. Xiao's house, and he never had the opportunity to ask.
At this moment, I heard Xiao Jun say: "Dad, the old man Wu of the Wu family, now he takes a fancy to his granddaughter Wu Menghan, all the resources of the family are inclined to her, and he is more obedient to her opinions!"
"I think they plan to bring Wu Menghan out and compete with us among the younger generation!"
Between the two of them, the confrontation between the older generation has always been comparable, and no one can help each other, looking at the Wu family's actions, it seems that in the future, let the two families be superior to the younger generation.
Old Man Xiao said: "You are right, their Wu family does have this plan, if the granddaughter of Old Man Wu can keep pushing her head up, then in the next ten or twenty years, their Wu family will gradually surpass our Xiao family!"
After all, the replacement of the old and the new in a family is an unchangeable natural law, the older generation will always pass away, and the younger generation will gradually grow up, and the Xiao family cannot always be in charge of the old man Xiao.
This is also one of the biggest reasons why Old Man Xiao called everyone from the Xiao family today and announced that he would step down from the position of head of the family and be replaced by Xiao Jun.
But I heard the old man Xiao say again: "However, since their Wu family has this plan, then why can't our Xiao family do this? From today on, all the resources of our Xiao family will be used on Sheng'er, and we will compete with them among the younger generation to see if the granddaughter of Old Man Wu is powerful, or our Xiao family is excellent!"
After a pause, he said with a smug expression: "No matter how powerful his old man's granddaughter is, she is just a woman, and she always wants to get married, and in the end the Wu family still has to be taken over by his grandson, I heard that his grandson is a big boy, even our family Xu'er is not as good, and he has suffered a lot of losses under Xu'er's hands, how can he be Sheng'er's opponent?"
Wu Menghan is a woman, at this point, their Wu family is born at a disadvantage, no matter how powerful it is, Wu Menghan is always the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and their Xiao Sheng is the head of the Xiao family in the future, who has more potential, you can know at a glance.
Hearing Old Man Xiao's words, it seemed that he was praising Xiao Xu, but in fact, Xiao Xu was the same as the eldest and youngest of the Wu family, he was a gentleman, Xiao Jin's face couldn't help but turn a little red, and he glared at Xiao Xu fiercely across the table.
Xiao Xu only pretended not to see it, he was already used to this kind of evaluation, what others said, he didn't care, his mind at this time was on the matter of Old Man Xiao's inheritance of Zhang Qian and his promise to Zhang Qian's ancestral 'golden ebony'.
Nothing else, Xiao Xu's character is like this, you say that he is a gentleman or not, he doesn't care.
However, he attaches great importance to credit and righteousness, Zhang Qian was because of his face, he treated the old man Xiao and saved the Xiao family from danger, if the Xiao family did not keep his promise and relied on Zhang Qian's account, what face would he have to meet Zhang Qian in the future?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel that it was not a taste, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said loudly: "Grandpa, my grandson has something I want to ask you, it is about your promise to Brother Qian, after he cures your illness, he will give him the Xiao family's ancestral 'golden ebony', and now that the agreed period has passed, grandson wants to know, what do you plan to do about this matter?"
When Old Man Xiao was talking, a junior suddenly interjected, which was very impolite, which was also why Xiao Xu was really unhappy about this matter, so when Old Man Xiao was talking, he suddenly asked, in normal times, he would never dare to be so impulsive.
Hearing what Xiao Xu said, everyone present was stunned, and the smile on Old Man Xiao's face suddenly disappeared, and his face sank.
Xiao Jin's face also changed slightly, and he shouted: "Xu'er, why are you so rude?
Xiao Jie, who was sitting below Xiao Xu, also hit Xiao Xu with her arm, and said in a low voice: "Brother, what are you doing? Are you confused? The elders discuss things, how can there be a place for us to talk? Don't you see Brother Sheng just listening from the sidelines and not speaking?"
Even the eldest grandson, Xiao Sheng, is not qualified to speak, how can Xiao Xu have the right to interject? Isn't it unpleasant for himself?
Xiao Xu disagreed, and said: "I just want to ask, what did Grandpa plan for what Brother Qian promised, is there anything wrong?"
Old Man Xiao glanced at Xiao Xu, but did not reproach him, but said: "Xu'er, your relationship with that Zhang Qian is very good, right?"
Xiao Xu nodded and said, "Brother Qian called today to ask about this matter, I don't know how to tell him, so I want to ask Grandpa, what are you planning in your heart, I can give Brother Qian an explanation!"
all know that Zhang Qian was recommended by him Xiao Xu, since he promised someone else's things, no matter how their Xiao family decides, give it or not, it will not be his turn Xiao Xu to call the shots, but he has to let him have an explanation for others, right?
Old man Xiao said: "'Golden Ebony' is the ancestral heirloom of our Xiao family, although I don't know what it is used for, but the things left by the ancestors must not be broken in my hands, so it is impossible to give this 'Golden Ebony' to him." ”
When people are old, they see this kind of thing more and more important, at the beginning, it was because people were about to die, he didn't think about it so much, so he agreed to Zhang Qian, but now that he is in good health, he suddenly regretted it, and he didn't want to let the things left by his ancestors be thrown away in his hands, so he never let people contact Zhang Qian.
Old man Xiao said to Xiao Xu again: "Zhang Qian is your friend, he cured my illness, I am also very grateful in my heart, I gave him 50 million last time, which is his reward for healing me, as for the matter of 'Golden Ebony', it is our Xiao family's fault, break the contract first, and give him 50 million as compensation!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jin and said, "This matter, leave it to the second child, you can handle it!" Zhang Qian's parents have a good relationship with Wen Feng, looking at your face, the other party should not have any opinions on our Xiao family's approach!"
"Yes!" Xiao Jin nodded, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, no one wants this kind of thing to be on their heads, and because of the relationship between him and Wang Wenfeng and Zhang Qian's parents, the Xiao family wants to rely on Zhang Qian's account, which makes him feel guilty about Zhang Qian in his heart.
But what can he do? The old man has already decided, and he can only do what the old man tells him.
