Li Tezhu recognized the person and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Xia!" ”

"It's okay, you can get out." Xia Xia waved his hand indifferently, signaling him to close the door when he went out.

"Ah Yan." Xia Xia stood in place for a few seconds, looking at her brother's back and feeling a little sad, she sighed faintly, she stepped forward and called him again, "Ah Yan, even I don't want to see you anymore?" ”

"Sister......" Xia Yan turned back uncomfortably, trying his best to control the anger in his heart, and reluctantly bent the corners of his mouth, "When did you come back?" ”

"It wasn't long before I arrived." After speaking, Xia Xia took his hand and sat on the sofa beside him, pursed his lips and said tentatively, "I know the result of the bidding meeting." ”

The emotions that were finally suppressed were stimulated by the three words of the bidding meeting again.

Xia Yan unconsciously shook off her hand, pursed her lips and didn't want to talk about this topic.

Xia Xia didn't care about his movements, she had already thought a lot on the way here, even if Xia Yan didn't want to hear those words today, she had to say it, she couldn't watch her only brother make mistakes again and again.

Thinking of this, she turned his head, looked at him seriously and said, "Ah Yan, with the Xia clan you are running now, there is no need to fight for this project at all, what is your real purpose, do you really think I don't know?" Since Ye Tingshen can sit in this position, it means that he is capable, don't you want to do it with him again? ”

"Sister!" Xia Yan frowned and interrupted her, full of anger and nowhere to vent, "Why can't I fight for that project?" You and I are clear about how strong the company's strength is, I am not reconciled, I have been arranged for so long, and in the end I still lose! At the same time, he lost to Su Yuan! ”

"Ah Yan!" Xia Xiamei's eyes were angry, and she said sharply, "But your so-called struggle did not use normal and fair means, do you think those people in the province really help you?" Don't make a mistake again and again, can't you? ”

Xia Yan didn't expect Xia Xia to know about his cooperation with those people in the province, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xia Xia's heart softened a lot when she saw him, she sighed, and seemed to smile bitterly: "Ah Yan, why don't you ask me where I have been in the past two days?" ”

"......" Xia Yanxin tightened and looked at her subconsciously.

Xia Xia nodded slowly in his stunned eyes: "I went back to Xia's house and saw my grandfather." ”

Xia Yan's hands hanging on both sides tightened, and the muscles in his whole body seemed to be tense, and he said in a dumb voice: "Sister......"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xia Xia patted his hand distressedly, a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, so fast that people thought it was an illusion, she took a breath, and her voice was long, "Ah Yan, I know everything, the agreement that grandpa reached with you, why did you come to City A, why did you have to deal with Ye Tingshen and them." ”

Obviously, it was in the same tone as usual, but Xia Yan's heart twitched when he listened, and he didn't dare to move.

Xia Xia smiled bitterly and raised her head slightly: "Ah Yan, with the hard work of our sisters and brothers over the years, we don't have to get the position of the head of the family, you see, without the help of the Xia family, don't you still manage the company very well?" Even if we choose to break away from the Xia family in the end, we can still live well, right? Moreover, don't you know what kind of person Grandpa is? He put forward this condition, clearly to see that both of you are injured. Also, I'm afraid you don't know, this time I went back and got a secret. ”

Xia Yan subconsciously spoke: "What secret?" ”

Xia Xia glanced at him, with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth: "There is a grudge between grandpa and the Ye family, plus Ye Tingshen found out that person's problem, so grandpa's hatred for the Ye family is a little deeper, do you understand why he put forward that condition now?" ”

"Grievances?" Xia Yan frowned, as if thinking about the truth of his words.

"Do you think grandpa really cares so much about the person on the side branch? Do you really think they have a deep relationship? Xia Xia sneered, not caring at all that he was talking about the current head of the Xia family, "Maybe he thinks it will be very shameless, the people of the Xia family have finally built up in their careers but have been deeply destroyed by Ye Ting, but what he cares about most is the grievances between him and the Ye family, so he has to deal with the Ye family." ”

Xia Yan didn't speak, not because he didn't believe it, on the contrary, he clearly knew that even if everyone in the Xia family deceived him, his sister wouldn't do that, so what she said should be true.

Seeing that his face was a little moved, Xia Xia added strength and persuaded: "Ah Yan, listen to my sister's words, let it go, okay?" Don't deal with Ye Tingshen anymore, in the end, you're just making enemies for yourself, promise me, think about it, okay? ”

Her hand tightly tugged on Xia Yan's arm, and a pair of eyes stared at him without blinking, afraid that a blink would miss his decision.

It's just that......

"Sister......" for a long time, Xia Yan's big hand covered the back of Xia Xia's hand, and his deep eyes were completely incomprehensible to others, "Sister, it's too late......"

"What's the night?" Xia Xia couldn't control her emotions for a while, and screamed out incredibly, "Ah Yan, don't you understand that I said so much, my sister doesn't want to see you hurt!" I don't want you to be used by your grandfather, don't you know?! Ye Tingshen has never done us any harm at all, it can be said that he has nothing to do with us, even if you want the position of the head of the Xia family, you can fight for it with your own strength, now the Xia family has that qualification except for you? If it's a big deal, we don't want it! Let grandpa do the math himself! Hasn't he always been extremely controlling, and he doesn't want to hand over the power in his hands? Let him go! Why should I catch my only brother! ”

His lips squirmed, Xia Yan looked at Xia Xia's angry appearance, and for a moment his throat seemed to be blocked with cotton, and he couldn't say a word.

Since childhood, his sister has always been ladylike and elegant, but when she encounters her own things, she will get out of control, and he knows that she is really angry, otherwise she would not be like this. He admitted that what she said made sense, and he was absolutely capable of the position of the head of the family.

But......

There are some dirty things, he doesn't want her to know, he wants to protect his sister.

"Xia Yan!" Xia Xia raised her voice and shouted, she was really angry, she didn't understand, she said so much, didn't Xia Yan understand it at all? Is this still my younger brother who has hurt since childhood?

The two stood one by one, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

Xia Xia pressed the corner of her forehead with a headache, and turned around negatively to calm down for a while.

Xia Yan maintained his original posture and did not move.

After a long while, Xia Xia, who was a little calmer, turned his back to Xia Yan and spoke again: "Ah Yan, tell me, the reason why you don't want to stop, is there still a thought?" ”

At the mention of the name Zhong Nian, Xia Yan's body moved, and he spit out a sentence with difficulty: "For Nian Nian, I am bound to win." ”

Xia Xia was bitter at the tip of her heart, feeling sorry for her younger brother and feeling sorry for Zhong Nian at the same time.

"Ah Yan, she doesn't love you, you should recognize this fact." Her voice sank in the quiet office, a little low, "What if you and she got to know each other first?" Emotional matters are not divided into first-come, first-come, first-come, if you miss the Zhongnian of the year, you will miss it, even if you work hard now, there is no way. You are bound to her, just think that you love her and you can give her happiness, but do you really think about it, is it really happiness to be with someone you don't love? Have you ever asked Nian Nian what she wants? Even if you force her to stay around, will she be happy? Will you be happy again? Ah Yan, you can't be so selfish, you think you've ruined the friendship between you, do you still want to force her to treat you like an enemy? ”

Every time she spoke, Xia Yan's hand tightened even tighter, and in the end, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms and he didn't feel it.

Xia Xia turned around, squatted down in front of him, wrapped his hand around him, looked at his eyes and said softly: "Ah Yan, listen to my sister's words, don't deal with Ye Tingshen anymore, and don't force Nian anymore, okay?" ”

"Sister......" Xia Yan finally spoke, her voice was dim and difficult to read, "But I love and miss it, and if I want to let go, I can't do it, I've been looking for her for six years, and I've been thinking about it for six years, how can it not compare to the relationship between her and that Su for less than half a year?" ”

Xia Yan at this moment is no longer the invulnerable Xia Yan in the eyes of the people in the capital, he is just an ordinary man who is confused because of his feelings.

Xia Xia's other hand touched his cheek in distress, just like when he was a child: "Ah Yan, even if you can't let go now, you really want to compete fairly, but do you really think that after you did all the things that hurt your friends, she can still accept you without any guilt?" If you really love her, you should show openness and sincerity, you should know how important Ye Tingshen and Lu Qinglan are to Nian Nian, if you give up dealing with Ye Tingshen, then you will never have a chance! ”

She had no choice but to compromise, her brother she knew too well, she couldn't persuade him to give up the deal with her grandfather after she said so much just now, so she could only use his feelings for Niannian for the time being.

Love can't be this kind of taste, she knows very well, although she doesn't want him to experience it, but after all, it is his own way, and she can't decide everything for him.

What she can do is to protect her younger brother within her limited ability, just like she promised her mother before bed.

"I'm done with what I want to say, Ah Yan, think about it yourself." Xia Xia stood up and looked at him deeply, there was so much she could say, and then, give him time to think about it.

After saying that, she stopped talking, turned around and left.

When she was about to reach the door, Xia Yan stopped her: "Sister! Wait a minute! ”

"Huh?" Xia Xia didn't turn her head.

The Adam's apple slid up and down, and Xia Yan seemed to suppress all his emotions and said: "Don't go back to the Xia family alone, stay away from the Xia family, especially grandpa." ”

"Okay."

The door to the office was quickly shut, leaving Xia Yan alone.

Li Tezhu quickly knocked on the door and came in, and shouted worriedly: "Mr. Xia......"
