"Wow, I haven't seen this Ling's mixed doubles for more than ten years, and now it's a pity that I'm back in the rivers and lakes." Hu Zhaolan deserves to be called the best friend, and as soon as she spoke, she attracted Ling Anxun's eyes. But if Hu Zhaolan didn't have this skill, how could he win many battles against Mu Haoyu?

"What did uncles and aunts say about you two to make you so decadent?" Compared with this lip service, Han Yuyan prefers to get to the point.

"What else can I do, is to analyze the gains and losses I suffered in Jincheng this time, and think that my brother is inescapable of taking responsibility for the fork in it. As for me, I have no sense of crisis, I don't know people, and I am not decisive enough to do things, and I have to take responsibility for this. According to what they said, my brother and I are arrogant, and we both need to go back to the furnace for transformation, and we will start implementing it after the Spring Festival holiday. This time, I guess even my least favorite martial arts will be arranged. Ling Anxun sighed, although she was ready to go back to Baoling Academy to study again, but who would have thought that it would be an enhanced version of learning as soon as it came up, which made her who was thinking of step-by-step and gradually entering the state of being under great pressure in an instant.

"What are you two like, my uncle brought me to talk for an hour yesterday." Mu Haoyu didn't know when he arrived at the restaurant, and sat on the sofa next to Ling Anxun.

"Talking to you? When? Ling Anxun asked.

"It should be after giving you a lecture, I didn't go home after eating barbecue yesterday, and stayed in the original laboratory to do a system upgrade for MU, which unconsciously came to the second half of the night, and my uncle suddenly came to my laboratory to talk to me for an hour."

"And what time do you go to bed? Why is he so lively, not at all like a person who stays up all night. Han Yuyan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's 5 o'clock this morning, for someone like me who is engaged in research, staying up late to work is a daily routine, and today I have an earlier break than usual." Mu Haoyu said proudly, "Where is it like you, you can't stay up all night." ”

"Cut, in another ten years, see who has bald hair first. Someone's hairline is really moving upwards with the naked eye. Hu Zhaolan is still so sharp.

"You, it's just my look, you see here, here, here, it's all fluffy hair, so it's not moving up." Mu Haoyu also showed no weakness.

"Dying and throeping." Hu Zhaolan scoffed at Mu Haoyu's statement.

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, Brother Haoyu, what did my dad say to you?" Ling Anxun was very curious about this.

"Well, keep this secret for the time being, and you'll know when the time comes, hehe." Saying that, Mu Haoyu laughed proudly.

"Love to talk or not, we are not rare to listen." Hu Zhaolan did not show weakness, and just as the two were about to start the second round of the verbal battle, the parents of the Ling family, the Mu family, and the Hu family walked in with laughter and laughter. Ling Huaqian held his wife Mu Qiong's arm as always, intimately. In the Mu family, Mrs. Huang Yuerong held her husband Mu Chen's arm, not that the couple was not in love, but that Mu Chen's personality was a little awkward. Hu Yifeng is low-key here, but he has affection in his bones, he took his wife Li Miaoyun's right hand with his left hand, and stood silently behind Ling Mu and his wife. All the juniors waiting in the cafeteria changed their laziness just now, and got up energetically to salute the parents in a proper manner, and everyone was well-educated.

After saluting, Ling Huaqian waved his hand, and everyone sat down at the round table in turn. Ling Huaqian, the head of the Ling family, as the host, took the lead in raising his wine glass and got up to deliver a speech, "Today is the annual reunion dinner of our three families, although it is later than in previous years, but it is important to reunite. This year's speech may be a bit long, so don't be too long-winded. Ling Huaqian's words made the people present look at each other and smile.

"But don't worry, I'll just say three points, this is the first, as we all know, Ting Zhen still has two years to participate in the final assessment of the heir, although on the surface the Ling family is currently the only candidate for him, but until the assessment is over, you can never take it lightly." Ling Huaqian said, glanced at Ling Tingzhen and Ling Anxun, these two people knew what their father meant, and repeatedly told them to make them understand the urgency of the current situation, and the peaceful scene on the surface was just calm before the storm came. It's a pity that when my father ascended the throne, they were still young, and they had no memory of the tense situation at that time, but I remember that my mother took them to live in a village on the outskirts of Shengdu at that time, and there were often nervous adults around them, and they hardly saw each other with their father.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the brother and sister, Ling Huaqian nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "Second, it is a notice to you, my wife Mu Qiong and I are ready to start a trip around the world, and we are expected to leave in half a month. ”

"Uncle and aunt going on a trip?" Hu Zhaolan was originally a straightforward person, but after hearing the news, she couldn't help asking. She couldn't understand how the head of the Ling family could still let his two children go on a trip after giving such a serious advice just now.

"Zhaolan." Hu Yifeng was slightly dissatisfied, his daughter was more than shrewd and not stable enough, how could he question the head of the family in person.

But Ling Huaqian didn't care, Mu Qiong was even more husband-in-law, took Hu Zhaolan's question and explained, "Yes, we are going to travel, we have been busy for the family for most of our lives, and we are also going to enjoy our own lives." ”

Ling Huaqian turned his gaze to Hu Yifeng again, "Yifeng, you and your wife have been with our Ling family for decades, so let's go on a trip with us this time." ”

Although Hu Yifeng was slightly shocked by the sudden decision of the head of the family, he still replied calmly, "Okay, it just so happens that my wife and I also have this intention." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Miaoyun.

I saw Li Miaoyun with a smile in her eyes, and she replied with a light red lip, "Yes, I complained that he didn't take me out to play much two days ago." ”

"Mom......" Hu Zhaolan, who was still worried about the Ling family brothers and sisters just now, began to worry about herself at this moment. Don't look at Li Miaoyun's slender and weak appearance, she is actually the backbone of the Hu family, and she is the object of her daughter Hu Zhaolan's spiritual dependence.

I saw her say softly to Zhaolan, "Zhaolan, you have grown up, and my mother believes that you can." Hu Zhaolan wanted to say something more, but her brother grabbed her wrist from under the table, and she had to be silent.

Ling Huaqian continued, "In our absence, the Ling Xiao Group will be in charge of Ting Zhen, and the family affairs will be entrusted to the Council of Elders. The next stage is yours, you know? Saying that, Ling Huaqian swept his gaze from Ling Tingzhen, Ling Anxun, Hu Zhaohui, Hu Zhaolan, Mu Haoyu, and Han Yuyan one by one. The expressions of the six people were very serious, as if they were facing a great enemy. Ling Huaqian was even more satisfied, these children knew that they were nervous. "This is the rule of my Ling family, without the help of your parents, you can really become strong. However, you can also seek help from your elders if necessary. Saying that, Ling Huaqian turned to Mu Chen, who was watching from the sidelines.

Mu Chen said in his heart, "This old fox still calculated on me after all. He coughed twice and said, "Although I don't have the surname Ling, I am the uncle of the two children, so I will naturally help if necessary." ”

The corners of Ling Huaqian's mouth hooked slightly, what he wanted was Mu Chen's words. The rule of the Ling family is that heirs fight each other, and their immediate family members are not allowed to participate in helping, but they don't say that they can't ask for foreign aid, especially if there are blood relatives and strong foreign aid. If Ling Huaqian is an old fox, then Mu Chen is also half a catty, otherwise where did the Mu family come from for so many years of steady development.

"Besides, isn't there still our family Haoyu, it's enough to have him." Mu Chen was optimistic about the opportunity to push his son out, which meant that his Mu family only produced Mu Haoyu, after all, his son had a hot fight with the children of the Linghu family since he was a child, even if he didn't say it, he would help, why didn't he do this favor. In short, it couldn't be so easy to get Ling Huaqian's wish.

Mu Qiong looked at the game between her brother and her husband, and couldn't help but shake her head, they are all over half a hundred years old, how can they still fight like when they were young.

Ling Hua smiled and said nothing, his eyes drifting to his nephew. Sure enough, Mu Haoyu was inspired by Ling Huaqian's gaze, and quickly got up and said, "Uncle, please rest assured, with my Mu Haoyu here, I will definitely be able to protect my cousin and cousin, and my parents will spare no effort to support me." ”

Mu Chen only felt a headache, his son has an excellent IQ, but I am afraid that there is indeed something wrong with this emotional intelligence, how can he sell his own father and mother so easily.

Ling Huaqian couldn't help but smile, to say that compared to Mu Chen's awkward character, he really liked the straightforwardness of this nephew, so he said, "Good one spares no effort, I will first give a glass to the eldest brother on behalf of myself." As he spoke, he drank all the liquor in his glass.

Mu Chen made a smile and didn't smile, and reluctantly raised his glass to accompany him. And his son Mu Haoyu was still adding firewood next to him and said, "I also respect my uncle with this cup." ”

Mu Qiong looked at her sister-in-law Huang Yuerong with an apologetic expression, but her sister-in-law Huang Yuerong did not have a gloomy face, but put on a good look. Mu Qiong couldn't help laughing, how could she forget that her sister-in-law was the one who could lower her "duplicitous" brother.

Filling his glass again, Ling Huaqian began to say his third thing, "Third, New Year's wishes to everyone here. All of you here are dragons and phoenixes among people, and I hope that you can come to Jitai in the new year and show your ambitions. After speaking, Ling Huaqian took the lead and drank the wine in the cup again. The crowd drank their first glass of wine since the feast began.

This family banquet began in this warm and slightly tense atmosphere, and everyone tacitly agreed that they did not talk about business. Even parents of wealthy families are inevitably gossiping about their children's friendships of the opposite sex. was so frightened that every child present ate their heads and did not dare to speak, like a student who avoided being named by the teacher. Fortunately, the gossip of the parents is all chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no real evidence. The children are also careful not to be caught in the slightest flaw by these savvy parents. In the end, the parents all targeted Mu Haoyu and Hu Zhaolan. The two of them have been bickering since they were young, but they actually care about each other very much, and in the eyes of their parents, they have long been showing signs of falling in love. It's just that these two children are more than the other, and neither of them will express further.
