Chapter Seventy-Two: Before Returning Home
After sending Bai Jingchen away, little Alice returned to the study, she knew that Xiao Ruo must have something to ask, so after coming in, she sat down obediently and waited for her mother to speak.
"This is your 'new toy'?" Xiao Ruo glanced at her well-behaved daughter and asked.
Little Alice nodded: "Brother Jingchen is not, he is my good friend, and that guy is the new toy."
Xiao Ruo naturally knew who the little girl was referring to by "that guy", but that person was very dangerous, and she didn't want her daughter to take risks.
"I know about this matter, and when I go to see Bai Jingchen in the future, I must be accompanied by Qi Qiong or Bai Ze, otherwise let me know that if you run out alone, you will be a female celebrity for three months."
Little Alice shrunk her neck and immediately replied, "Got it, Mom."
Xiao Ruo shook her head, feeling very frustrated that she could only control her daughter by threatening, but she only had this way. Putting this matter aside, she called all the children over and told them about going to Xiao's house the next day.
ββ¦β¦ That's it, when you get there tomorrow, you all give me the truth, it's no better than your great-grandfather's house, especially Arthur, don't talk nonsense!"
Arthur pursed his lips, he was always the one who was taken care of, obviously every time his sister was more troublesome than him, but she relied on her harmless appearance of humans and animals, so that no one could bear to be harsh, but he was always warned.
"Got it, Mom." There is a weak answer.
The other two simply nodded. They also all knew that the place they were going to was Xiao Lin's house. Their impression of Xiao Lin and Xiao Chu is not very good, so they are also lacking in interest, even if Xiao Ruo makes them feel energetic, it is estimated that it will be difficult.
instructed several children, and Xiao Ruo was called away by Yang Bing.
"I'll go to the Xiao family with you tomorrow." Yang Bing held Xiao Ruo's hand and said to her.
"Mom-"
Yang Bing sighed and said, "I'm always the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and I shouldn't have gone back for a long time." And your grandfather and grandmother treated me well before, but now that you've found it, there's no reason for me to lose my temper again. Our country pays attention to filial piety, and they are always my elders. β
"Filial piety?" Xiao Ruo smiled bitterly, it has been a while since he returned to China. I have to let my grandfather ask someone to invite me home, and the person who comes to invite me is still my father, she should be a typical example of unfilial piety, right?
"Mom, you say, what should I do to the people of the Xiao family?"
Seeing Xiao Ruo's confused face, Yang Bing felt distressed for a while, clenched her hand and said, "Whatever you want." Ruo. You don't owe anything to the Xiao family, after all, the things of the year started because of the Xiao family, and they have never seriously looked for you over the years, even if you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, it is just a name. β
"But how am I going to get along with them?"
"There are still a few reliable people in the Xiao family, your third uncle Xiao Mu is not bad, although he has a big personality, he is more cheerful than everyone in the Xiao family, and he is also very true to people. Xiao Qin is also good. The atmosphere is stable, Dou Rui's personality is also very good, you can be everywhere with them, and it is inevitable to be a good friend. β
"What about Xiao Chu?" Xiao Ruo still doesn't like his brother very much.
Yang Bing sighed: "I know that he did a lot of things wrong, which disappointed you, so you just follow your own wishes, and you don't have to treat him in particular."
"Mom. I'll try, maybe he's a good guy, it's just that I don't know it deeply. Xiao Ruo's heart was moved, the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of meat, Yang Bing could say that. It's kind of eccentric.
"Okay, you are my daughter, you are my mother's most caring person, and my mother naturally wants to spoil you." Yang Bing hooked Xiao Ruo's nose and said with a smile.
"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore." Xiao Ruo was dissatisfied.
Yang Bing looked at the fried Xiao Ruo with amusement, and said comfortingly: "I know, my Ruoruo is also a mother, of course she is not a child." Then he seemed to remember something, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "Ruoruo, your aunt may be there tomorrow, you ......"
Xiao Ruo was stunned, aunt? is the Xiao Qing who was betrayed by her fiancΓ© and discarded herself?
She had heard about this aunt a few times, and she didn't find out about the things back then, except for the person behind the scenes, and she almost knew a rough idea of the rest.
She knew that Xiao Qing was still in Q University, living in seclusion every day, never returning home for more than ten years, and rarely interacting with people, only burying herself in research, living like an ascetic.
Xiao Ruo didn't know how he felt about Xiao Qing.
Hate? She was actually a victim back then, and after more than ten years of carrying such a big burden, the psychological pressure can be imagined.
It's supposed to be sympathy, right? There is also a feeling of sympathy for the fate that has arisen since I heard Xiao Lin say what happened back then.
"What happened back then, if, if Dad didn't hide it from me, it's actually none of her business, after so many years, I don't want to worry about the things back then, and now I'm doing well, and I don't want to do anything to her, why bother."
Yang Bing breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, after Xiao Ruo found it, her resentment towards Xiao Qing for so many years had dissipated without a trace, but she had more sympathy, and now when she heard her daughter's thoughts, she was secretly happy for Xiao Qing.
After discussing with Xiao Ruo for a long time, Yang Bing was really relieved, at least it wouldn't be too embarrassing to meet tomorrow.
Huaxia pays attention to filial piety and pays attention to the family, she really doesn't want her daughter to come home with resentment, which is not only not conducive to easing the relationship between her and her family, but also criticized, saying that she relies on her identity and looks down on her family, or worships foreign people. This kind of big hat is buttoned down, even if Xiao Ruo's status is very high, she can't stand such a serious crime, which has a very bad impact on her reputation.
Now that he has communicated well with Xiao Ruo, at least Yang Bing has a bottom in his heart, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
Yang Bing was not worried, but Wen Changzong and the others were not at ease.
"If so, just keep a normal heart, don't be too indifferent, don't be too enthusiastic, just meet your elders and friends." Wen Ya's impression of Xiao Lin is that he is an official, and he also talks to them in an official tone, Xiao Chu is also at a young age, and he is afraid that Xiao Ruo will not be used to it, so he persuaded him.
Wen Changzong nodded, although the old man pays attention to tradition, he is even more afraid that Xiao Ruo will be wronged, they all know what happened back then, and they also know that with the status of the Xiao family, they may be very dissatisfied with Xiao Ruo's "disobedient" daughter, but they also hope that she can get along well with her family, so they agree with Wen Ya's words.
"Master, I will, in fact, I can be regarded as going home, right? And I'm such an adult, I know what to do, don't worry. β
Xiao Ruo couldn't cry or laugh, did he look resentful? Why do you seem to be worried that you will tear down the Xiao family?
"If you want me to say that if you don't pay attention to them, just treat them as if they don't exist, or just go and talk about business. They are a well-known family in China, you are the head of the Langton family, and you need to cooperate in something, so you will meet. At best, what you're trading is different from other businesses. Wang Yu did not leave the bank in three sentences.
Uh, that's okay too? But it's quite apt.
"Thank you, Uncle Yu, I understand."
