Chapter 146: Abandoned Pieces
A family dinner with different thoughts and a sharply low air pressure finally ended in Xi Yizheng's expectations. Although at the dinner, no one had any unpleasant and harsh comments about her and Huo Jun's comfortable and casual outfits, and there was no surprise on her face at her indifferent and casual rather than the nervous restraint that should be seen at the first dinner. Even Helian Xiang, who she suspected of having an ulterior conspiracy against Helenin's family, was polite to her and Huo Jun, the kind of politeness that couldn't fault it at all. In short, this seemingly extremely harmonious, polite but actually very depressing dinner finally ended successfully in the last toast of the head of the Helian family.
Subsequently, the head of the Helian family invited Xi Yizheng into his study for a talk. Xi Yizheng smiled at Huo Jun soothingly, signaling him not to worry.
Huo Jun saw that the head of the Helian family had no intention of letting him enter the study, so he could only helplessly stay on the rest couch outside the study to drink tea and wait.
"Big brother" Huo Yu and Helian Yun went upstairs together, and when they saw Huo Jun sitting outside the study, they guessed that Xi Yizheng was called into the study by the head of the house. sat down on the rest couch without saying a word, and waited for her to come out with Huo Jun.
…………
"Ning'er, this is a decision?" The head of the Helian family pouted the lid of the teacup, lowered his eyelids, and his vicissitudes of life resounded low through the study that had been silent for a long time.
"Yes." Xi Yizheng was not affected by the heavy atmosphere he deliberately created. Adjusted the most comfortable position to lean on the sofa, stroked the slightly round belly with both hands, and talked to the baby in the belly from time to time. When he encountered the question raised by the head of the Helian family, he quickly gave a heartfelt answer.
Seeing that Xi Yizheng was still able to be so casual and unrestrained under the pressure of the warriors he deliberately exerted, the head of the Helian family really appreciated her determination.
As everyone knows, the martial arts pressure he exuded was nothing more than a solemn feeling in the room in the eyes of Xi Yizheng, who didn't know anything about martial arts, and she had already quickly adjusted her mentality, so as not to affect the baby in her womb.
Seeing that Xi Yizheng answered his question without hesitation, the head of the Helian family was a little difficult to get over in terms of self-esteem. Don't say that Helian Yun, who is responsible for the position of the lord of the casino city, even if he is the top ten elders of the Helian family, if he does not obey his words, he has been carefully considered. Where would she blurt out as inadvertently as the female doll in front of her. said that she was bold, according to the secret report from the information group, her usual words and deeds were not even as decisive and neat as Helian Yun. Say she's timid, what's the point of being so idle now?
"Ning'er, maybe you were young when you left home and had no emotional ties to the Helian family, but you have to remember that your blood is born with the factor of our Helian family." The head of the Helian family pondered for a moment, and spat out the above string of words in a low voice.
Xi Yizheng sneered in his heart when he heard this. It's funny. When you need yourself, you can convince yourself by saying such seemingly justifiable and high-sounding words.
If he didn't have the strong financial backing of the Xi Group, and he didn't have a husband with deep financial resources like Huo Jun, would the Helian family value themselves so much? Not to mention, he may not take the initiative to let himself recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, even if he is forced to recognize himself under external pressure, he may not necessarily "reuse" himself so much
At the end of the day, it's strength.
Three years ago, he allowed himself to set a three-year agreement with him, and she understood that the head of the Helian family just wanted to see if she had the ability to take on his Helian family three years later. If Xi Yizheng is still a delicate and weak boudoir woman today, or marries an ordinary man and lives an ordinary life no different from the ordinary middle class, even if she forgets the three-year covenant, he will definitely not send someone to invite her.
"The head of the family is right, but now that I have my own business, I guess the head of the family also knows. There are four companies under the name of the Xi Group, oh no, counting the jewelry partner of the international famous brand 'Danina', there are five companies. I really don't have the energy to devote myself to managing the Helian family's business anymore. Xi Yizheng leisurely explained the biggest reason, rejecting the Helian family's idea that she would return to Burma to manage the business that the Helian family now divided into his name.
Just kidding, this kind of thankless task, she won't be stupid to take her body. If she didn't have a thriving career like she has now, and she didn't have a future with a lot of money, she might have agreed to the proposal of the head of the Helian family without saying a word. The dividends of one percent of the property under the name of the head of the Helian family are also very considerable when there is no career. Of course, that would require an eleven points of her energy.
And now, Xi Yizheng shook his head secretly, forget it. Knowing that the Helian family is very likely to be victimized by the hands of their own family's relatives, the Helian family will not go to the troubled waters no matter what. No matter what its blood was thicker than water, it was ethereal and unpredictable to her. If blood is really thicker than water, then why didn't the head of the Helian family send people to search for Helianning's whereabouts?
As far as she knew, Helenin, who was only three years old at the time, was missing, and only her poor parents were looking around. As for the others, including the head of the family, they all said a few words of consolation on the surface, but in action, there was nothing to follow. Hmph, why didn't you say that blood was thicker than water at that time? Yes, at that time, there were hundreds of dolls of the same age as Helian in the Helian family, but there were still dozens, but I didn't expect that as I grew older, those peers tended to be mediocre and overwhelmed.
The head of the Helian family frowned when he heard her say this. He knew that Xi Yizheng's movements in the past three years could be said to be vigorous and resolute. From the original only jewel shop, it has developed into a comprehensive group company composed of five well-developed enterprises. If these actions were not caused by her sudden burst of potential, but because of the agreement she made with herself three years ago, she had to say that she had seen the chess game she might play with this move very thoroughly.
After a long time, the head of the Helian family sighed deeply: "A hundred years Helian ...... It may never be as prosperous as it was in the past 100 years. ”
Xi Yizheng smiled silently. The Helian family really has nothing to do with her, what she is really interested in is the space-time tunnel that may lead to the Demon Martial Star.
…………
"You rejected the family master's proposal to inherit the main property in the name of the head of the Helian family?" As soon as she left the main house of the head of the Helian family, Helian Yun hurriedly asked her about the content of the conversation. Xi Yizheng indifferently narrated a rough outline, and Helian Yun was surprised when he heard it.
Not to mention how many people in the family covet the position of this heir, even if she has worked hard in the casino for more than ten years, doesn't she hope that the Helian family can accept her from the heart. And the most direct and effective way to accept is, of course, to be named by the head of the family as the next generation of heirs, that is, the new generation of family heads after a hundred years of the head of the family.
And the stupid woman in front of her actually refused. Helian Yun's eyes were full of complicated entanglements.
"Helian, I'm not like you, I have no father since I was a child, I lost my mother at a young age, and I grew up in the environment of the Helian family since I was a teenager. I hope to be recognized by them. Xi Yizheng smiled and narrated. Of course, it is inconvenient to say the words pressed in the depths of my heart. She was abandoned by the big family when she was a demon star, and she naturally rejected the recognition of the so-called heirs of the family.
"But......" Helian Yun wanted to continue to persuade, but was pulled to his side by Huo Yu, came back to his senses, and saw Huo Yu with a gloomy face, and suddenly understood that Fang Cai's own should have hurt him. He wanted to get out of this family that was so oppressive to him. It's just that...... Helian Yun sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't dare to forget his grandmother's instructions.
"Helian, I understand what you mean, it's just that the water of this Helian family is too deep, so it's better to withdraw as soon as possible." Xi Yizheng patted Helian Yun's shoulder, and Xi Yizheng had an inexplicable good impression of this cousin who was implicated by blood. Xu is similar to herself in the first life, both of them are from the concubine family, and they are not favored by the family.
Helian Yun stared at the backs of Xi Yizheng and Huo Jun walking away, and was speechless for a long time. Is it the wrong decision that you have always made? However, my grandmother's last words before her death are still vivid: the Helian family has always focused on ability, as long as you are willing to work hard, one day, they will truly accept you. Don't look down on you because of your birth, don't isolate you because of your background. Yun'er, you have to remember that you must work hard to defend this gambling city, and one day, you will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the vast world that is different from this world. At that point, you'll be completely standing.
However, grandmothers and granddaughters don't understand when the so-called opportunity is, and where the so-called other Guangmao world is. The granddaughter is really tired of guarding this gambling city. Now I'm even more confused about whether the decision I've been insisting on is wrong
Helian Yunyou frowned and thought to himself, Huo Yu couldn't help but sigh, stepped forward and gently hugged her, stretched out his hand to try his best to smooth her frowning brows, and whispered softly: "And me." ”
Helian Yun came back to his senses, and when he saw a face that had been magnified several times, nervous and worried, he immediately smiled: "I'm fine, Huo Yu, I just didn't figure it out before." ”
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, he didn't understand it before, so what about now?
"Now, I have figured it out, I will follow you, where you go, where is my Helian Yun's home. As for that...... Whether it's the Helian family or a casino, let it be. Helian Yun, who was no longer obsessed with imposing, took Huo Yu's big hand, gently pressed it on his cheek, and whispered. She had a preliminary idea of the casino, perhaps, that person was willing to take over.
Huo Yu smiled lightly, but the soft light in his eyes became more and more gentle and intoxicating.
…………
"Isn't that great?" Xi Yizheng leaned on Huo Jun's chest, playing with his big hand, looking at the pair of beauties standing in the quiet and elegant mansion of the head of the Helian family, and smiled very softly.
"Hmm." Huo Jun turned around and gave an equally intoxicating smile. Huo Yu should return to Huo's family. As for Helian Yun, who is also superb, he will make the best arrangements.
