The snow in Yanjing is getting heavier and heavier, covering almost the entire Kyoto area under the snow, and people stand in an open place, and as far as the eye can see, there is a snow-white all around.

From time to time, snowflakes fluttered in the sky, swirled, and slowly fell to the ground, like elves in the air.

The temperature plummeted, the freezing cold was biting, and people were confined to their homes, afraid to go out.

In the small garden of Xiaojia Nanyuan, the maid only swept the snow once more than an hour ago, and now it is full again, so the maid has a snow shovel ready to clear the snow, and Xiao Duxue, who is standing in the small garden, waved his hand: "I have already swept it once today, let's sweep it again tomorrow morning!" ”

The maid left, and Xiao Duxue stood in the open space in the middle of the small garden, looking up at the sky, and the sky was also the same color.

A thick coat was draped over her body, and Cheng Donglin stood behind her, wrapping his hands around her and hugging her little belly.

Xiao Duxue said leisurely: "You know that I am not afraid of the cold, and you are not afraid of the cold, why do you have to act like this?" ”

"It's romance, you have to learn to be romantic." Cheng Donglin said with a faint smile, many times women complain that men don't understand amorous amorous, and now he almost turns into a resentful man, complaining that Xiao Duxue doesn't understand amorous amorous.

Xiao Duxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your kind of romance is still used on Tang Xin and them, I won't be moved." ”

"Someone told me that women are duplicitous animals, and sometimes they are obviously so moved that they just refuse to admit it."

"Whatever you want."

Cheng Donglin touched his nose and smiled bitterly, he felt that a woman should have her own personality and her own opinions, so that such a woman would be loved by men, but now, Cheng Donglin feels that it is not a good thing for a woman to be too characterful, too assertive, and too smart.

Look, how romantic and beautiful a scene is, it has been completely ruined by this woman.

Cheng Donglin's chin rested on Xiao Duxue's shoulder, and asked softly, "I saw that you were fascinated when you looked at the sky just now, what were you thinking?" ”

Xiao Duxue sighed: "I'm thinking about my life. ”

"That's really a broad question to think about, so what do you think of?"

Xiao Duxue groaned, and only after a long time did she say: "I'm thinking, what is the purpose of a wealthy family like the Xiao family, a lifetime of struggle, and a lifetime of hard work? Xiao Dutian died, Xiao Duhe was sent to prison, they all wanted to take power in this family, but in the end they all ended up like this, is such a life meaningful? ”

"Obviously, they are the opposite of real life." Cheng Donglin smiled faintly.

Xiao Duxue nodded, and then said, "Then let's talk about grandpa......"

"Grandpa?" Cheng Donglin looked at Xiao Duxue, with a smile on his face, and a little smug in his smile.

Xiao Duxue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "You see I'm a cold person, but I'm not a person who has no emotions at all, so many things have happened, even if I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit the facts, he is my grandfather." ”

Cheng Donglin nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, I am so old, I have no father, no parents, no grandparents, no brothers and sisters, I am alone, many times I even think, if I have such a rich and powerful grandfather, how good it would be!" ”

Xiao Duxue rolled her eyes: "I admit that this grandfather has nothing to do with his money power." ”

Cheng Donglin smiled, he naturally knew Xiao Duxue's thoughts, such things happened one after another, Xiao Li has always stood by her side, even if he is a hard-hearted person, he will be soft-hearted in the face of such a thing.

Xiao Duxue continued: "Although before Grandpa, the Xiao family was already the first family in Yanjing, but after he became the head of the Xiao family, the Xiao family has been getting stronger for more than 30 years. ”

"But then he gradually became powerless, he hoped that his children could continue to develop the Xiao family, but the death of the third son and the idleness of the first and second sons made him exhausted, so the Xiao family began to slowly decline."

"I can see that he doesn't want to watch the Xiao family fall, but he is so powerless, he has worked hard all his life, but in the end he can't do anything, so I'm thinking, is it worth it for me to work so hard, why don't I take my mother to Jinghua to live a good life, why do I have to involve myself in such a deceitful struggle?"

Cheng Donglin smiled bitterly: "If you really do that, it doesn't mean that you can live a stable life, sometimes, if you want to be stable, you don't want to calm down, but to magnify your ambitions and let yourself stand on a high place, so that you can live a stable life." ”

"Why?"

"Because your starting point is too high, you are born destined to be different, so many times even if you want to be low-key, you can't be low-key."

Xiao Duxue listened carefully to Cheng Donglin's words, could it be that she could only continue to work hard to climb up?

Looking at Xiao Duxue's serious thinking, Cheng Donglin then asked, "Are you willing to watch the Xiao family fall?" You ask yourself questions before you answer my questions. ”

This is a very difficult question for Xiao Duxue to answer.

After a long time, Xiao Duxue shook her head and said, "I naturally don't want to, after all, I grew up here." ”

"Then if the old lady wants you to become the head of the Xiao family, will you agree?"

"What?"

Xiao Duxue looked at Cheng Donglin with a suspicious expression, becoming the head of the Xiao family? Such a question was something she had never dared to think of, or rather, she had never thought of such a question, because she had always just wanted to leave the Xiao family with her mother as much as possible.

But now, Cheng Donglin's question made her hesitate.

Xiao Duxue asked, "Donglin, what are you talking about?" I don't understand what you mean. ”

Cheng Donglin continued to say seriously: "You don't need to know what I mean, now you only need to answer my question, if the old lady asks you to be the head of the family, will you agree?" ”

"I don't know!"

Xiao Duxue shook her head, such a question was too crazy for her, not to mention whether this was what Xiao Li meant, let's just say that the rest of the Xiao family would never agree. Moreover, the Xiao family has never had a precedent for a woman to be the head of the house.

Cheng Donglin looked at Xiao Duxue's tangled appearance, and had no choice but to say: "Actually, this is what the old lady meant, I met him in the Shen Shen Hospital just now, and he asked me to bring you a message, and prepare to make a will tomorrow, and you will become the first heir of the Xiao family." ”
