Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the village, and Zhuang Yiman turned his head sideways, looking at the sunbathed villa outside the car window with an expressionless face.

For many years, this seemingly luxurious house seemed to her a cage from which she could escape.

Xiao Jinxuan parked the car steadily, and the two of them unbuckled their seat belts and got out of the car.

He went around to the back of the car, opened the trunk and took out the gift for Zhuang Xianghan, and then walked to the house with Zhuang Yiman.

Today is Zhuang Xianghan's birthday, and he has always been high-profile and decided to celebrate in a low-key manner, not holding a large birthday banquet, but simply inviting his family to dine and celebrate.

When the two walked into the house, the Liu family had already arrived, and they seemed to be waiting for them.

Liu Huiwen had a gentle smile on her face and warmly entertained the two.

In contrast, Zhuang Yiman's reaction was a little cold, the smile on her face was polite but also a little alienated, after Xiao Jinxuan handed the gift to the nanny, she asked, "Is my father in the study?" ”

Liu Huiwen nodded and reminded, "Well, come over and say hello to your aunt and uncle first." ”

Zhuang Yiman didn't do so, but just said, "Let's go see my father first." ”

Liu Huiwen's face was slightly gloomy, but she realized that Xiao Jinxuan was here, and it was not good to scold Zhuang Yiman, so she raised a smile again, pretending to be kind and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhuang Yiman took Xiao Jinxuan to the study on the second floor, the two stopped in front of the door, Zhuang Yiman knocked politely on the door, and only after getting Zhuang Xianghan's response did he turn the doorknob and push the door in.

Zhuang Xianghan raised his head and first saw Zhuang Yiman walking in front, and when his eyes touched Xiao Jinxuan, who came in behind Zhuang Yiman, a charitable smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He stood up from his office chair and said softly, "Jin Xuan, Yiman, you are back." Have a seat. ”

Zhuang Yiman and Xiao Jinxuan sat down on the sofa, and Zhuang Xianghan asked as he walked over, "Jinxuan, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" Longjing? Tieguanyin? Or Biluochun? ”

Xiao Jinxuan replied calmly: "Feel free, thank you." ”

"What's polite, it's all family."

After speaking, he opened the door of the study, went out, and told the nanny and aunt to soak a pot of dragon wells before turning back and sitting down opposite the two.

He asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Although he asked about the status of the two, his eyes fell on Xiao Jinxuan, and Zhuang Yiman kept his mouth shut.

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at her quickly, and saw that she didn't intend to answer her father's question, so he said, "Yes, what about you?" ”

Zhuang Xianghan sighed and said helplessly: "I'm old, and my energy is not as good as before." It's already a little powerless for the company's affairs. ”

Xiao Jinxuan had long expected that when he came back this time, Zhuang Xianghan would mention the company's affairs.

Since he issued an internal message to stop cooperating with Yulin Group, Zhuang Xianghan has hit a wall several times.

Zhuang Xianghan vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he was not very sure, so he planned to hold the birthday banquet in a low-key manner this time, in order to have more time to chat with Xiao Jinxuan.

If he usually heard him mention the company's dissatisfaction so vaguely, Xiao Jinxuan would follow his words and continue to ask.

However, this time, Xiao Jinxuan just smiled calmly and said, "You are still young, don't worry so much. ”

"You kid just has a sweet mouth, where are you still young, and recently you have a few gray hairs for the company's business."
