Chapter 311: The Dust Has Settled
On the afternoon of the weekend, Xiaozhi received a call from his uncle in the office, asking him to go back to the Xue family's old house for dinner in the evening.
Since Haruko left, Koji's mood has been very heavy, and he has declined all entertainment. However, the uncle's words were not easy to refuse, so he had to reluctantly agree.
At dusk, Xiaozhi walked out of the company and drove to the Xue family's old house.
On the streets, there is a lot of traffic.
On the sidewalks, there is a tidal wave of people, and people's faces seem to be filled with excitement.
Once upon a time, every weekend, he would have that eager and expectant look on his face. But since taking over the Xue Group, he no longer has any concept of weekends.
Xiaozhi's vehicle, before it approached the old house, the gatekeeper opened the door early.
Xiaozhi parked the car, got out of the car, and greeted the janitor with a smile.
The uncle looked at Xiaozhi happily and urged kindly. Hurry up and get up, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time. Your uncle and uncle are also here!
Xiao Zhi walked into the villa, walked straight into the restaurant, and saw that Old Man Xue had already sat down in the main seat, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted. Grandpa, why don't you eat first? I told my uncle, let you eat first, don't wait for me.
Old Man Xue looked at Xiao Zhi, his eyes were full of doting, and his face was proud and gratified. This grandson is getting more and more prosperous as he grows older. Not only are people talented, handsome and chic, but they are also blessed with unique ability to do business.
Xiaozhi, you're hungry, aren't you? Hurry up and take a sip of hot soup and eat again. Don't hold back the coolness, your stomach hurts! Old Man Xue looked at Xiao Zhi with a smile and admonished uneasily.
Without waiting for Xiaozhi to speak, the Xue family looked at the old man and couldn't help laughing. Dad, do you think Xiaozhi is a three-year-old child? When you have a meal, you will be told repeatedly.
The old man laughed. No matter how old Xiaozhi grows, he will always be a hairy child in front of me! Isn't that right, Xiaoji?
Xiaozhi hurriedly smiled. Grandpa, you're right!
At this time, Xiaozhi's second uncle also smiled and said. The two of us who were sons were so hungry that we were about to lie down, and the old man never asked us if we were hungry? Now, the grandson is back, and if you look at the old man's attitude, it will directly become different. Alas, the old man is eccentric!
When the second uncle said something, everyone laughed, and they were happy for a while. Even the nanny who came to serve the food couldn't help but laugh.
The second uncle saw that the nanny was busy serving the food, and said jokingly. Mother Chen, when Xiaozhi didn't come back before, why didn't you serve us food? Let us sit here and wait dryly, and you don't ask us if we are hungry? Feelings, you only have Xiaozhi in your eyes!
Chen's mother knew that the second young man of the Xue family was joking, so she hurriedly laughed with her. Second young master, the best at joking. How dare I, an old woman, call the shots? That's what the old man meant.
Xiaozhi was embarrassed by everyone, so he hurriedly got up respectfully and accompanied the eldest and second uncle.
Old Man Xue couldn't help laughing, pointed at Xiaozhi and said. Don't listen to their gossip, Xiaozhi, hurry up and eat the dishes while it's hot, the dishes you cook today are your favorite food!
The eldest uncle and the second uncle also stopped laughing together, and persuaded Xiaozhi to hurry up and eat some hot food mats.
The old man moved his chopsticks slightly, but his eyes never took off the grandson he was proud of.
Xiao Zhi muttered to himself in his heart while eating the food in a big gulp. Since it was a family feast, why didn't anyone else be invited? Only the eldest uncle and the second uncle were invited. It seems that they have something to say to themselves. What could it be?
Xiaozhi didn't want to ask more, so he just waited for dinner to end and see what his grandfather and the two uncles had to order.
Sure enough.
When dinner was over, the family moved to the coffee table for tea. The nanny prepared the teacup, poured hot tea, and withdrew. For a moment, he suddenly fell into a wordless silence.
Xiao Zhi looked at the elders with some restraint, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip gently. Then, put down the teacup and patiently waited for the elders to speak.
Finally, Old Man Xue spoke.
Xiaozhi, grandpa called you today because he has something to ask you. What is the situation with that summer snow?
Xiao Zhi looked up in amazement and looked at the old man in surprise. He never expected that the old man would ask about Xia Xue so bluntly. He has been hiding from the old man that he and Xia Xue have long been married.
Koji didn't dare to answer presumptuously, and looked at his uncle inquiringly.
Uncle smiled and said. Xiaozhi, your grandfather already knows about your marriage to Xia Xue, and she also heard that Xia Xue is pregnant. Don't have any scruples, just answer your grandfather's questions.
Xiao Zhi looked at Old Man Xue in disbelief and said in a snort. Grandpa, aren't you angry? When you know this, you still talk to me with a smile on your face? I thought that when you knew the truth, you would be furious with me.
Old Man Xue retracted his smile, looked at Xiao Zhi in front of him, and said. Originally, I was strongly opposed to you and Xia Xue's affairs. But now that the boat is complete, you are not only married, but you also have children. If I continue to oppose it, I'm afraid you will be the one who will be most troubled! Therefore, it is for you that I have also decided to accept Xia Xue, the granddaughter-in-law!
After listening to the old man's words, Xiaozhi was so moved that he didn't know what to do, and said thank you grandpa! The big stone that had been squeezed in his heart for a long time finally fell to the ground unexpectedly easily.
Uncle said to Xiaoji with a smile. Your grandfather is mainly because he feels sorry for his grandson. You've been through a lot of 、、、、、、 things during this time. You didn't say a word about us, but we all heard about it on and off. Your grandfather can't bear to let you live so tired anymore, so he discussed with us to officially welcome Xia Xue into the door of our Xue family!
Xiao Zhi's heart was ecstatic, and he looked at the elders gratefully, and there were tears in his eyes. This day is not easy to come! It is rare for the elders to open it like this, and finally gave him and Xia Xue the green light.
Old Man Xue, silent for a moment, looked at Xiaozhi and said. I heard that Xia Xue has gone abroad, do you know her current situation? If you know, then take her back to the Xue family as soon as possible! I've arranged for someone to clean up a room for you again, and I've got people to start preparing the baby's room.
Xiao Zhi choked in a low voice and said in a deep voice. Grandpa, thank you so much, I thank you for Xia Xue!
Old Man Xue laughed and asked briskly. How's that, Koji? When are you going to bring Xia Xue back? Don't keep me waiting too long, I'm still in a hurry to hold my grandson!
Koji thought for a while and said. Grandpa, Xia Xue is about two months away. I think I'll take her back when she finishes giving birth abroad and recuperating for another month or two. If I let her come back right now, I'm afraid she'll be overworked, and it won't be good if she gets angry.
Well, well, do as you say! Old Man Xue nodded in agreement, his face was full of expectation, his eyes were bright and thoughtful.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle, sitting on the sofa, smiled at Xiaozhi. Their eyes were also full of relief.
They finally stopped worrying about Old Man Xue, and they would talk to Xia Xue about the tiger's color. At first, they had been able to hide Old Man Xue from letting him know about Xiaozhi's marriage to Xia Xue. I'm afraid that the old man's heart can't stand it, and I'm afraid that he can't stand this stimulation. Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, the old man was like a mirror in his heart, and he saw everything clearly.
The moon hangs high and the stars are everywhere. Xiao Zhi walked out of the Xue family's old mansion and stood in front of the gate with the eldest and second uncles talking.
Xiao Zhi knew that if the matter between him and Xia Xue could be accepted by Old Man Xue, it must be the credit of these two uncles. They don't know how much time it took to finally convince the old man.
Xiao Zhi looked at the two uncles and said affectionately. Thank you, Uncle Er, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't have figured it out so quickly.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at Xiaozhi, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said. Xiaozhi, the two of us have really done a lot of work in front of your grandfather. However, the person you should be most grateful for should be your grandfather! If it weren't for his old man and his open-mindedness, no matter how much we talked, it would be useless.
Well, I understand! Xiao Zhi nodded and said with heavy eyes.
Uncle asked Xiaoji. When are you going to pick up Xia Xue?
Xiao Zhi pondered for a moment and said. Xia Xue will give birth in two months, and I have to go over to take care of her in advance. But there are too many things in the company, and I have to go to the United States in a while.
The second uncle asked uneasily. Xiaozhi, does Xia Xue have anyone to take care of over there in the United States? But don't miss anything.
Xiaozhi said with a smile. Second uncle, don't worry! Our Xue family's great-grandson is about to be born, how can I not guard against it? I have already sent someone from the Xue family to guard Xia Xue for the past 24 hours, and there will definitely be no omission. Even at the hospital, I had already said hello.
Uncle looked at Xiaozhi, nodded admiringly, and said. Koji, good job! Do things, have a foundation, and do not leak!
The three of them stood under the starry sky and talked excitedly for a long time before finally driving away.
Xiaozhi drove home in the night, wearing the stars and the moon, and felt joy in his heart that he had never felt before. His Xia Xue has finally been recognized by the Xue family, and he no longer has to hide in the shadows like that.
Every New Year's Day, Xiaozhi went back to the Xue family's old house alone, leaving Xia Xue alone at home. At that moment, Koji's heart ached like a knife and a needle.
Although Xia Xue had never complained about anything, he knew that Xia Xue's heart was not comfortable. Xia Xue is a haughty person, if it weren't for Xiaozhi, how could she endure this grievance under the fence?
Now, Xia Xue can walk into the door of the Xue family openly and dignifiedly! Their relationship can also be openly revealed to the world, just like thousands of couples in the world.
Xiaozhi drove to the door of the house, parked the car, took out the keys, and opened the door. As soon as he walked into the house, his phone rang continuously.
The caller was David.
Hey, Xiaozhi, it's too bad 、、、、、、 impermanence has entered the police station!
What the? What the hell is going on, you make it clear! Xiaozhi said eagerly.
David gasped for a moment, as if trying to sort out his thoughts. After a while, he said. Impermanence, went to the police station, it seems that some 、、、、、、 surrendered himself! I heard from one of his brothers that he had been involved in a hit-and-run accident with his car, and now he felt that he couldn't get over it, so he turned himself in!
Xiao Zhi's mind was confused, and he immediately understood the intention of impermanence.
