At the same time, Tokai International Airport, an international flight from Boston, USA, has just landed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Yating and Eric were given priority to leave the plane from the first class, accompanied by Eric's personal bodyguards and life assistants, and there were more than 20 people, which can be called a hug from the front.

And Xiao Yating's pomp is actually not small, she has just walked into the terminal, and a large number of black suits have poured up to protect her in the center.

The leader is a middle-aged man who is not smiling, walking with the wind, his eyes are sharper than a knife, he walked quickly in front of Xiao Yating, bowed his head slightly and said: "Miss, welcome back to China, the chairman said that he will contact you later, let you go back to Xiaoxiangshan and wait for the phone first." ”

Xiao Yating nodded expressionlessly: "I know, Uncle Zhuang, look at the arrangement, I'm a little tired now, I just want to go back to Xiaoxiangshan right away and sleep well, but it's jet lag." ”

She was not familiar with this middle-aged man, but she knew that this person's surname was Zhuang, and he was the head of security of Tianqing Group on the East China Sea.

Uncle Zhuang did things vigorously and quickly, and soon arranged the itinerary, Xiao Yating returned to Xiao's house to rest in the 'Little Xiangshan Courtyard' in the East China Sea, and Eric, as an important guest of Tianqing Group and the Xiao family, was also arranged to live there.

However, Eric's spirit seems to be good, and he said with great interest that he would go to the Bund to have a big meal first, and he was not in a hurry to go to Xiaoxiangshan to sleep.

Soon, the black luxury convoy drove out of the airport, and then divided into two parts, driving to Xiaoxiangshan facing the sea in the south and the Bund in the city center.

……

Xiaoxiangshan was originally an inconspicuous small barren mountain, but later Tianqing Group intervened in the real estate market in the East China Sea and acquired a large piece of land in the vicinity to build a high-end villa project.

The small barren mountain in the center was pocketed by the Xiao family and renamed 'Little Xiangshan' and became the Xiao family's courtyard in the East China Sea.

If you refer to the current housing prices in the East China Sea, then the value of this 'Little Xiangshan Annex' that can overlook the sea and sky is simply immeasurable.

And this kind of momentum and compulsion of 'occupying the mountain as the king', I don't know how many streets to throw out of those villas in the center of the East China Sea, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of the Xiao family and Tianqing Group.

But in Xiao Yating's opinion, this is just a cage, even if it is cultivated like a fairyland on earth, it cannot change the essence of its cage.

It's the same as the Xiao family's base camp in the capital, Xiangshan Villa.

Xiao Yating got out of the car, the servants saluted her respectfully, and then began to be busy, everyone was cautious, as if this eldest lady of the Xiao family would eat people.

Uncle Zhuang first arranged the peripheral security work in an orderly manner, and assigned four female bodyguards who were also unsmiling to be responsible for Xiao Yating's personal security work.

There are five groups of such personal female bodyguards, working in shifts in three shifts to ensure that Xiao Yating is in absolute safety at all times.

Xiao Yating has long been used to it, or numb, even when she was in the United States, she always had a private bodyguard hidden by her side, coupled with the security measures of Eric's family, it was foolproof.

And since Xiao Yating remembers, for so many years, the only 'accident' that was out of her father's control was the time in Qingjiang County No. 1 Middle School, where she 'forcibly kissed' Yang Hao.

Xiao Yating remembered this embarrassing and thrilling past, which had only happened for less than a year, but it seemed like a century had passed, as if she was already an old woman who was dying and dying, without a trace of vitality and hope.

This is a sign of depression, she thought, the whole person became even more lost, and walked into the small villa on the top of the back hill dejectedly, which was specially built for her by her parents, because she was the first heir of the Xiao family's generation.

Of course, if she didn't marry, which was impossible, it was just that the upper echelons of the family, of which her father was one, had not yet decided on the final marriage.

Xiao Yating smiled self-deprecatingly, instructed the servants to prepare bath supplies, and asked the female bodyguards to stay outside the door and not to come in, and then she walked into the small courtyard behind the house, where there was a small hot spring.

It is not a natural hot spring, but an artificial construction of the hot spring water from the bottom of the mountain by pipes.

But it looks like a real hot spring, steaming hot, and there's a very subtle little viewing window overlooking the sea in the distance and beyond the horizon.

If you're feeling brave, you can take a dip in the nearby open-air hot spring pool, which is built at the top of the back mountain, and through the ingenious design of the steps, you can make people feel like they are suspended in the air, which is very exciting.

When Xiao Yating used to soak in the hot springs with her mother, she heard her mother say that the designer here was specially invited from the Hakone Hot Spring in Toei, and it cost a lot of money at that time.

At this moment, Xiao Yating took off her clothes and soaked in the warm water alone, overlooking the tide in the sky through the viewing window, but she didn't feel the slightest pleasure.

Maybe it's like the winter vacation in my memory, when I was still young, I only remember that my mother was suddenly unhappy and brought me here for the New Year, only my mother and myself, and the rest of the family was in the capital to accompany the old man for the New Year.

That night, my mother let me rest early, saying that she went to soak in the hot springs, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and she didn't see her mother come back after waiting for a long time.

As a result, I secretly ran to the hot spring to take a look, only to find that my mother was soaking there alone and drinking, and it seemed that she was still drunk, crying and babbling nonsense.

Xiao Yating didn't dare to approach, for fear of being discovered by her mother, but she remembered her mother's drunken words clearly.

In fact, it's not a drunken talk, it's just two lines of poetry, read over and over again.

"The red face is not old and the grace is broken first, and the lavender cage sits until Ming."

Since then, Xiao Yating has had some kind of inexplicable prejudice against her father, and it wasn't until she grew up that she saw and understood more that she knew that she might have misunderstood her father.

Perhaps when my mother first read these two poems, she did not accuse her father of being ruthless and unrighteous, but she was just despair of this kind of vain married life.

But in Xiao Yating's cognition, this is the Xiao family, no, it should be said that from ancient times to the present, the rules of the game for most power families.

Whether it is the emperor's relatives or the golden branches and jade leaves, which one can escape this already predestined fate?

Xiao Yating soaked in the steaming hot spring, thinking wildly, and gradually felt a little cold, not physically cold, but heart-cold.

Suddenly, she stood up, put on her bathrobe, turned and walked into the room, tied her long hair into a straight ponytail, and changed into a white woolen coat.

"If you don't go back...... And he never looked back. ”

She murmured, her eyes like knives. (To be continued.) )
