Xiao Zhentian, the head of the Xiao family, rushed back from the group as soon as he got off work, and he also ordered his two sons who worked in the group to go home directly after work, as for the younger son, he had already answered the call from his mother Yu Feiyu, knowing that he was going home to see the excitement, and everyone was very positive. After all, Xiao Ruoli has always been the target of everyone's bullying, and they are all looking forward to it.
At half past six o'clock in the evening, everyone was already sitting on time at the long table in the main banquet hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhentian was the main seat, he was in his fifties this year, but he still looked very young, but the whole person revealed a majesty, which was the authority of money and power piled up over the years, Yu Feiyu sat on his lower left, opposite Xiao Mingyu, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Mingyu was next to the second young master Xiao Mingzhou, the second young lady Xiao Ruoxi sat next to Yu Feiyu, and the little young master Xiao Mingting sat next to Xiao Ruoxi.
Xiao Ruoli sat down opposite Xiao Mingting. Watching the housekeeper instruct the maids to serve exquisite dishes, she had no appetite at all, but she was still trying to listen to Xiao Zhentian's eloquent conversation. During this banquet, his real relative is only Xiao Zhentian.
Besides, this is also the original intention of coming home, every day in the rented small apartment, depressed, or walk around to see, in order to get out of the shadow brought by the death of the little one as soon as possible.
"If you leave, what are your plans to return to China this time? Want to join the group? Xiao Zhentian talked for a long time, and the words finally came to Xiao Ruoli.
But this was obviously asking Xiao Ruoli, but before she could answer, someone had already rushed to answer.
"If you just returned to China, you want her to work hard for your company? This is too capitalist, right? Why don't you let her rest and rest? Besides, do you know what major Ruoli studied abroad? Don't ask if it's right or not, just go to the company to help? Yu Feiyu asked Xiao Zhentian angrily, "Don't you have something to talk to Ruoli today?" Don't beat around the bush, right? ”
"You let her speak." Xiao Zhentian glanced at Yu Feiyu lightly, and looked at Xiao Ruoli insistently.
Xiao Ruoli put down his chopsticks and replied coldly, "I really don't have the ability to join the group to help, and my current job is very good." ”
"You've got a job?" Xiao Zhentian asked in surprise. He really didn't care about what major his daughter studied abroad, nor did he care about when she would return to China. The reason why I was willing to take the time to come back to see her this time was really because there was an important matter that needed to be notified to her.
"Help out at a friend's studio." Although Xiao Ruoli knew that his father had no feelings for him since he was a child, it was quite sad to see him so undisguised.
"It's fine to have something to do, but I have something important to tell you today." Xiao Zhentian got to the point, "You don't have to do that job anymore." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ruoli was a little strange, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"The son of the Zong family has woken up, the marriage plan he was talking about before he fell into a coma has taken effect again, Ruoxi is too young, only you are suitable, you should move back home recently, and when things are decided, you will officially get married!" Xiao Zhentian said this very naturally, as if he was informing Xiao Ruoli that this matter had nothing to do with her.
"What marriage? How did I not know? Xiao Ruoli had a premonition, but now that he heard it, he was really confused, what had been negotiated before? And I don't know it at all!
"This is a good thing for both of us, not to mention that the other party is a sect family, how many people are covetous, you better seize the opportunity, don't let me know what little tricks you are playing!" Xiao Zhentian's tone was already very stern when he said it.
"Dad, that's not what you said, you want to sell your daughter to at least give a synopsis, right? I don't know anything, I've already been sold, do you think I'm wronged? Isn't it normal to ask a few more questions? Xiao Ruoli was a little angry, and she was a little reckless when she spoke, anyway, she already knew her fate, so it was understandable to say a few words to relieve her anger before fate came!
"You say it again?" Xiao Zhentian looked at Xiao Ruoli, who dared to talk to him like this, and said coldly.
"Am I asking too much?" Xiao Ruo got up suddenly, and saw the old housekeeper behind Xiao Zhentian glaring at him, so he calmed down a little and his tone was not so intense, "Dad, I have long known that as the daughter of the Xiao family, I will definitely not be able to escape this fate, and I don't plan to do anything, I just want a little bit of the right to know, this is really not too much, right?" ”
Yu Feiyu continued to eat slowly, while Xiao Mingyu looked at Xiao Ruoli with some thoughtfulness in his eyes.
But Xiao Mingzhou looked at Xiao Zhentian nervously, for fear that he would start beating people if he was unhappy.
Xiao Ruoxi looked at Xiao Ruoli with a smile, hoping that she would be repaired by her father so that she could take revenge just now.
Behind Xiao Zhentian is the old housekeeper Uncle Zhao, who has worked in the Xiao family for decades, is an upright person, and served Xiao Zhentian's father before, after the old man died, he continued to stay in the Xiao family to serve Xiao Zhentian, and took good care of Xiao Ruoli since he was a child, and he was very happy to see Xiao Ruoli come back today, but he didn't say a few words in private, he knew Xiao Zhentian's temper best, so he desperately gave Xiao Ruoli a look, wanting her to be quiet, don't make the old man unhappy. It's a pity that Xiao Ruoli doesn't seem to have any scruples, she has never confronted Xiao Zhentian so directly at home before, Uncle Zhao couldn't help but start to look at Xiao Ruoli, this eldest lady seems to have changed her personality.
Xiao Zhentian listened to Xiao Ruoli's words but was not as angry as everyone imagined, "Since you know your fate and intend to accept it, what difference does it make if you know or don't know the details?" ”
"Of course there is a difference, of course, I mean, there is a difference for me," Xiao Ruoli quickly lowered her voice, she suddenly realized that what she said was very right, this is just a difference for herself, what difference does it make to the rest of the people here, the more she says, it just makes everyone laugh at themselves more, "Forget it, when I didn't say it." ”
"Go on!" Xiao Zhentian showed some interest, he simply put down his chopsticks and looked at his eldest daughter, to be honest, he really hadn't looked at her carefully for so many years.
"It's nothing, it's not important." Xiao Ruoli sat down again, looked around, and found that everyone was looking at him. That inquiring, curious, disdainful look. She suddenly lost her mood.
"I'll let you go on!!" Xiao Zhentian was not happy, and ordered Xiao Ruoli to continue.
"I'm just trying to make sure it's still not my home, but since I'm getting married, it's stupid to say that it's my home." Xiao Ruoli laughed first after speaking.
