Knock knock.

Zhang Lan knocked on the door outside Jingsheng's room.

She looked down at the watch in her hand, and it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jingsheng opened the door, there was not much expression on his face, just red circles under his eyes, and he sniffed from time to time.

"Shengsheng. Are you hungry? Zhang Lan asked with a concerned face, she looked into the room and found that the ground was full of colorful boxes.

"What's that stuff in you? You went to buy it? ”

"Oh, no." Jingsheng turned sideways and walked into the house with Zhang Lan, explaining, "It's a souvenir that my boyfriend bought for his family." ”

Jingsheng took out a large gift box from the courier box and handed it to Zhang Lan: "I said before that I would bring you a gift." Come, Auntie, look at this. ”

"What? What souvenirs? A loud female voice came from the doorway.

It was a middle-aged woman in her mid-fifties, with a dull yellow complexion, short messy hair, ordinary clothes, dirty white sneakers and red socks on the soles of her feet.

She was also holding a one-meter-tall boy in her hands.

When Zhang Lan entered the door just now, the door was not closed, and the woman walked in with her child by herself.

As soon as he entered, the little boy went straight to the gift box on the ground, shouting as he ran, "What is this?" Grandma I want this! ”

It was Cartier that Lu Jisheng bought for her. Jing Sheng hurriedly picked up the gift box and held it in his arms before the little boy, and turned around and asked Zhang Lan: "Auntie, who are they?" ”

"Hey! You don't know me yet, huh? I am the daughter-in-law of your aunt's third aunt's younger brother, and we used to visit the door often, don't you remember? The woman said to Jing Sheng in a loud voice.

Jing Sheng hugged the box and thought about it several times in his mind, but he still didn't have an impression of this person. So he shook his head in silence.

"Grandma! I want this! Hurry up and let my sister give it to me! The little boy stared at the box in Jing Sheng's arms with a pair of eyes.

"Hey, girl, don't hide, I just heard it outside the door, this is a gift you bought for your family! Am I your family? Hurry up and play with the kids, you see you have so much! ”

"No way!" Jingsheng was very persistent, and put the box in a suitcase that Lu Jisheng mailed and locked. It contained the clothes that Lu Jisheng bought for her before.

"Woo! She bullied me! The little boy ran to his grandmother, crying and fussing, "Grandma, she bullied me!" Isn't it just a broken box? What's so rare! I'll smash it for you when I find it out! ”

Zhang Lan couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the woman: "Qin Hua, you take care of your grandson, what are you talking about!" ”

Qin Hua looked indifferent and taken for granted: "What is this?" If my grandson doesn't like it, he can smash it! Who let her not take it out. Besides, didn't she just show off that her boyfriend bought it for her? Let him buy it again? What, are you still afraid of paying money? Ouch, I'm afraid my boyfriend is spending money on other women! ”

"You..."Jing Sheng was so angry when she heard her say this, she also raised her voice and showed no weakness, "You haven't seen him before, why do you say that about him!" ”

"You're enough!" Zhang Lan stood up angrily, grabbed Qin Hua's arm and dragged it out.

"What are you doing?" Qin Hua shook Zhang Lan's arm hard, "Hey, don't stir up trouble, she just said it herself, everything in this place is bought for the family, I don't care, I have to have a share anyway!" ”

"That's right! I want it too! As soon as the little boy heard his grandmother say this, he picked up the two largest boxes from the ground, both of which were almost half as tall as him. The little boy couldn't hold it himself, so he stuffed it into Qin Hua's hand.

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Lan really couldn't do anything about this pair, so she had to push them out the door, "You guys took things, you should be satisfied, right?" Go, go, go back to your own house. I'll call you for dinner! ”

Zhang Lan pushed the two out of the door in one go, and then slammed the door shut.

Qin Hua was pushed out of the door and didn't forget to shout into the house: "Cut, a man next to him thinks he's amazing, let's go back and see what he bought for us." ”

Jing Sheng heard everything she said word for word, and felt that he was going to be angry when he met such an arrogant, unreasonable and greedy person.

"Shengsheng, don't be angry, don't be angry!" Zhang Lan looked like Jing Sheng was going to find Qin Hua's theory, and felt that she walked over and hugged her waist and pushed her to sit on the bed.

"Auntie, who are they? How did it suddenly appear? Jing Sheng looked aggrieved.

"Hey, it's my aunt to blame for this." Zhang Lan felt a little guilty, she took Jing Sheng's hand and said, "Isn't it that your aunt has already cremated your mother in the past two days, so she thinks that she has to start the funeral." I contacted your relatives at home. ”

She touched the broken hair on Jingsheng's forehead, sighed heavily, and said, "As for your father's relatives, as soon as they heard about the good things he did, they didn't want to come. Your mother's side did invite a few relatives, but they didn't want to come, saying yes...... said that you had to let your family pay back all the money. ”

"Are they talking about the money that their mother borrowed from them before?" Jingsheng frowned and asked, she had never heard of these things before, and her mother had never told her that the family owed so many foreign debts.

Zhang Lan moved her lips and didn't speak for a long time.

"I see." Jing Sheng lowered his head and tightened his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I'll pay it back." And the money my family owes to your aunt will be repaid. ”

"Good boy." With tears in her eyes, Zhang Lan hugged Jingsheng's head and let her lean on her shoulder, "You are too burdened by yourself." Auntie, I also feel that I shouldn't put any more pressure on you at this juncture, so I'll help you with my relatives. ”

"Well, thank you, Auntie." Jingsheng rubbed in Zhang Lan's neck socket and asked again, "Then what's the matter with that Qin Hua?" ”

"Hey! She! Hey......" Zhang Lan patted her thigh, with a look of remorse, "I didn't want to call her, who knew that she would come by herself, and what else did she say, the custom at home is to receive red envelopes for funerals." Don't pay attention to her, she's just a psychopath, where to make up where there is something, and then ask for red envelopes one by one, crazy! ”

"......" Jingsheng was a little speechless, and couldn't believe that there were still people in this world who liked to go to funerals.

"Alright." Zhang Lan touched Jingsheng's hair and said softly, "Hurry up and pack up your things, don't let her see it again." We'll have to go to dinner later. ”

"Okay."

United States. Los Angeles.

Jian Fan sat at his desk in his study, flipping through the handover documents submitted to him in the company.

Little by little, he took over the company from his father.

Because some bigwigs and executives in the shareholders' meeting expressed their doubts about the ability of his successor to his father, Jian Shengyu, the current president of Shengyu Group, Jian Fan, who has been studying hard these days and wants to prove his strength to these people in one fell swoop.

The job is not simple, he is too young, only a few years after graduating from university, he has very little social experience, and his major is not right. And because he was very resistant to inheriting the family business in his previous life, he didn't have any connections on the company's side.

Now, he has enrolled in economics and management at a local Ivy League school, and usually studies at home except for class hours.

Knock knock. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Jian Fan's mother, Mu Qingwen, poked her head in and took a look, and saw that Jian Fan was still sitting at the desk studying, so she walked in with a plate containing a coffee cup.

She wore loose black curls, a very noble lady's white home clothes, and a pair of fluffy slippers.

"I'm tired." Mu Qingwen put the coffee on the edge of Jian Fan's table and said softly, "Drink some coffee and rest for a while." ”

"Thank you." Jian Fan picked up the coffee and took a sip before putting it down and continuing to study hard.

Seeing him working so hard, Mu Qingwen shook his head with a smile, but he didn't expect that his son, who was angry before and didn't want to go home, would now become so active about inheriting the family business. That's a good thing.

She took out a golden invitation from her pocket, pushed it to Jian Fan's hand, and said, "Well, this is the invitation for tonight's banquet." ”

"Banquet?" Jian Fan raised his head from the book, picked up the invitation and looked at it suspiciously, "What banquet?" ”

"It's a, a celebratory dinner within the company. This is a good opportunity for you to have a good relationship with some of the company's important people and shareholders in attendance. ”

"Hmm." Jian Fan casually looked at the content of the invitation letter and put it down.
