This is the main building of the Wang family's old mansion, where the current head of the Wang family, Wang Xiangyang's grandfather - Wang Xi.

In addition to the living room, the first floor is mainly a large dining room and a warm reception room, although the family has many children and grandchildren, but people who live in the old mansion are accustomed to having dinner here.

This is a rule that has been established in the past, on the one hand, to facilitate the exchange of information, but also to strengthen the feelings and friendships between family members.

The décor of the living room is more like the Nordic style of the 20th century, with chandeliers and sleek lines of furniture, each of which looks like it has a heavy sense of history.

"Is Grandpa in the reception room?"

"Hmm." Lin He made a gesture of please, and the living room turned right into the kitchen, and the left turned into the reception room.

Wang Xiangyang took Mo Xiaoxiao and walked towards the reception room, the door of the reception room was opened by Lin He, and he was greeted by towering bookshelves like domes.

The walls in the living room are made of books, and the room is much higher than the living room, giving it a sense of solemnity.

In the corner of the reception room, the people sitting around the fireplace heard the movement and looked towards the door.

Wang Xiangyang took Mo Xiaoxiao's hand two steps forward, bent down slightly and said, "Grandpa, Dad." ”

In addition to the two people sitting in the middle, the other three also got up and greeted him in unison: "Third brother." ”

"Okay, I'm back." The gray-haired old man in the middle looked very kind, and was now sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket on his legs.

Under his loose skin, his eyes looked small, and he glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao and turned back.

The other person is Wang Xiangyang's father, although he is also the age of the sixtieth year, he looks quite young and does not look old.

He didn't have a serious smile on his face, just pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down, your grandfather has something to say." ”

One of the young men said, "If it's okay, then let's go out first, grandpa, third uncle, third brother." ”

"Hmm." The white-haired old man nodded: "By the way, Xiang Ping, inform everyone to come over and prepare for dinner." ”

Wang Xiangping is not short, but he is very thin, standing up like a bamboo pole, obviously calling Wang Xiangyang the third brother, but the whole person looks older than Wang Xiangyang because of his sunken cheeks.

He smiled and nodded: "It's already here, grandpa, you also come early, everyone is hungry if you haven't eaten so late." ”

"Okay, okay." The old man was also very approachable and nodded with a smile.

After the three juniors went out, the old man set his eyes on Mo Xiaoxiao again.

Wang Xiangyang introduced: "This is Xiaoxiao. ”

"Hmm." The old man nodded, but said nothing.

His father frowned, and said angrily: "There is no courtesy at all!" ”

Mo Xiaoxiao was shocked by this sentence and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bent over stiffly: "Grandpa Wang is good...... Hello Uncle Wang, my name is Mo Xiaoxiao......"

"What's your name, I don't care, everyone else is out, why are you still here?" Wang Xiangyang's father did not speak well.

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoxiao's heart was half cold again, and he was about to turn around and go out, when one hand was grabbed by Wang Xiangyang.

"Dad, Xiaoxiao is not an outsider, besides, I came back this time to tell you about Xiaoxiao."

"Presumptuous! Do you have something to say? We don't have anything to tell you? Not to mention that she hasn't married you yet, she is married to you, and there are some things that she should not know as a woman! ”

Wang Xiangyang frowned, did not let go, but stood proudly, the fireplace of the fireplace dragged his tall and straight figure.

Wang Xi coughed dryly and said, "Qixian, Xiang Yang has just come back, why are you making such a big fire?" Come, you two sit down. ”

"Thank you, grandpa."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang......"

The two sat down on the chair, Mo Xiaoxiao straightened her back and pretended to be calm, God knows that her clasped hands were already full of cold sweat.

She is not a lady of everyone, and her small living environment has never brought her into contact with the upper class. There was no systematic training, let alone etiquette.

Although she had prepared before this and secretly tutored, she was still afraid of making a mistake.

If she does something wrong, it is not only related to her impression in the eyes of the Wang family, but even whether there is a possibility of union between them.

Wang Qixian saw that his father wanted to keep them, so he simply snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Wang Xi politely greeted Mo Xiaoxiao: "It's called Xiaoxiao, right?" Sunny friend? ”

"Yes......"

"Girlfriend, fiancée." Wang Xiangyang said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I have already proposed to Xiaoxiao without your consent, because I have not held an engagement ceremony, so I have not notified you." ”

If there is no notice, it is impossible for the Wang family not to know.

"You're getting bolder!" Wang Qixian gritted his teeth because he hated iron and steel.

Wang Xi smiled faintly: "Hello, you are welcome to come to our house as a guest, don't be nervous, just like when you arrive at your own home." ”

"Well, thank you." Other than that, she didn't know how to respond.

"Is this time okay in City A? How's the body? Wang Xi asked his grandson again: "I was injured earlier, have you recovered your memory?" ”

"It's slowly recovering."

Mo Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him and pursed her lips slightly.

"It's good to recover." The old man said again: "During this time, I have been more worried about the Fang family's affairs, it is going to be the New Year, I haven't heard that Fang Liangye will go home for the New Year?" ”

"I don't think I'll go back."

"I have been cautious all my life, but in the end I am still implicated by my children."

Wang Xiangyang said: "I have checked, Chief Fang has no stain, and he has not made any convenience for Fang Jingqiu's company, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

"Well," the old man nodded again, and his face was red in the light of the beating fire, "Is Jincheng's grandfather okay?" ”

"I heard that it is not good, I haven't visited it yet."

"Let's go and see it in the next year, there are only a few days left."

"I'll go."

Wang Xi turned his head to look at his son again: "Do you have anything else to tell him?" ”

There may be, but Mo Xiaoxiao is an outsider present, and in addition to shaking his head, he only has a gaze of hatred for his son.

"If it's all right, let's eat," the old man moved and pulled the blanket on his lap.

Wang Xiangyang got up and went over to push the wheelchair in person, and Mo Xiaoxiao also stood up, paused after meeting Wang Qixian's gaze, and bowed his head slightly.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go." Wang Xiangyang directly called her to his side to avoid letting her be alone with Wang Qixian.

Mo Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and walked to him, and the two pushed the old man out together.

The old men entered the restaurant so they didn't have a meal, and when they were at the door, they heard laughter inside, men, women and children.

When the door of the restaurant opened, Mo Xiaoxiao's heart couldn't help but panic, standing beside Wang Xiangyang, she quietly grabbed the hem of the man's clothes, but she was worried about being seen and quickly let go.

There are a lot of people in the restaurant, but it is far less crowded than when the company's annual meeting or what cocktail party is attended, but Mo Xiaoxiao is nervous, inexplicably nervous.

There is a huge long table, and there are many people sitting on both sides of the table, old ladies, young children, beautiful women, handsome guys, uncles, big brothers and sisters, gathered together, judging from the number of vacant seats, today is not complete.

"Now everyone is finally together, Xiangyang, you came back late enough, we are all hungry!" An older graceful lady got up with a smile and stepped forward to take over the old man.

"This is my mother." Wang Xiangyang introduced Mo Xiaoxiao, and then said to his mother: "This is Xiaoxiao." ”

Mo Xiaoxiao looked at the lady in front of her, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, she actually felt that the person in front of her was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The lady Wan'er, who smiled amiably, has a kind of charm.

"Hello Auntie!" Mo Xiaoxiao bent over.

He greeted everyone present: "Hello everyone. ”

A few people responded to her sporadically, and the warm lights shone on everyone's faces, some were expectant, some were curious, some were ridiculing, and some were waiting to watch the play.

The old man sat down, and several young grandchildren came up and called grandpa or grandpa, coquettish and cute, each of them is a good seedling of the Wang family in the future.

Wang Xi looked at everyone and was also happy, without the slightest shelf, let everyone sit down to eat, and asked a pregnant granddaughter-in-law with concern if she was hungry.

The granddaughter-in-law was not very old, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "I just secretly ate something delicious." ”

Wang Xi laughed again and said that as long as she was greedy, she just ate it secretly, and she had to choose a good one to eat.

Immediately, a mother-in-law came forward to defend her daughter-in-law, saying that this pregnant woman had to eat her own delicious food, and a room full of people was happy.

Mo Xiaoxiao looked around, but didn't see Wang Xiangzhong, thinking that he might still be dealing with Fang Jincheng's affairs outside, and he didn't come back for the New Year.

If Wang Xiangzhong is here, she may be a little more natural.

At the moment, when his palms were hot, he realized that he was grabbed by Wang Xiangyang's hand at some point, and just sat down with her, Wang Xiangping next to him was a little embarrassed and said: "Third brother, this is my position, and the position arranged for the guests is in the back." ”

It's not a formal occasion, it's just a dinner that is to be gathered once a day, and the seats are naturally not deliberately arranged.

But the old man sits in the main seat, and it is normal for the old man's five sons and their wives to sit on the left and right, and the others are more casual, sitting wherever they like, and there are naughty children holding bowls and squeezing in the last corner of the long table to chat and eat, deliberately separating from the adults and chatting about their little ninety-nine.

Wang Xiangyang is now in charge of the Wang Group, and many industries under the Wang Group have to pass through his hands, and it is no exaggeration to say that most of the Wang family's expenses now have to be linked to him, so his status in this family has always been very high.

Naturally, no one would say anything where he was going to sit, and he even vacated the position closer to the elders early.

Wang Xiangping would not rush this third brother, he was referring to the position where Mo Xiaoxiao was sitting.

So as soon as he finished saying this, Mo Xiaoxiao stood up instantly, a little at a loss, and said rudely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I don't know." ”
