"But ......" Looking at the two of them like this, I really didn't feel good in my heart, but now the situation has been clearly placed in front of me, and none of them in the family wants to tell me the truth.

And as Xu Yi said, I still have more important things to ask and discuss with them, so in desperation, I can only let go of this doubt in my heart for the time being.

"Okay then." I nodded at Xu Yi, and his gaze finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, Xiao Ci." ”

Then Xu Yi turned his gaze to Uncle Xu, and his gaze was serious again, "Dad, about Xiao Ci's father......"

Uncle Xu was slightly stunned, looked at me thoughtfully, and finally nodded slightly, "Let's talk about it first......"

I think today, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it.

With doubts and incomprehension, in Uncle Xu's words, Xu Yi and I had to follow him in for the time being.

And when I walked into the Xu family's mansion, I realized that this place was already a world of difference from the previous two days.

Since I was a child, I have known that Uncle Xu is very fond of antique calligraphy and painting, so the Xu family also has many antiques. But now it was empty, and even the expensive sofa was gone, and there was not even a place to sit.

Looking at the Xu family, which used to be very luxurious and classical, now it has become a mess, and I stand in it, only to feel extremely lost in my heart.

It's only been a few days, so many things have happened to me, and I don't have time to pay attention to the Xu family, but what happened to it, why did it evolve into the current situation?

After Uncle Xu walked in, Aunt Xu took advantage of my inattention and wiped the tears from her face, of course, I still saw it, but I could only pretend that nothing had happened, in case she felt embarrassed.

After wiping away the tears from her face, Aunt Xu even forced a smile on my face, as cordial as she saw me two days ago, without the slightest change.

"Xiao Ci, now there is no sofa at home for the time being, you can sit down first if you can sit down, and then Aunt Xu will make you some tea and snacks."

After saying that, Aunt Xu walked towards the kitchen, and two days ago I remembered that there were servants busy inside, but now there is no one in sight.

I stared at Aunt Xu's back in a daze for a long time, until Uncle Xu next to me coughed, and then I came back to my senses and turned to him.

"Uncle Xu."

I called him softly, and he just nodded slightly, and there was no longer a smile on his face from the previous two days, "Regarding your father, did Xu Yi tell you in the company?" ”

"It's because I can't open my mouth that I brought her to the house, otherwise I wouldn't have let her come over today."

Before I could respond to Uncle Xu's words, Xu Yi spoke on the side, "When you asked me to think clearly yesterday, I didn't sleep all night, I didn't think I should tell Chen Ci, but I really couldn't bear to hide it from her, so I finally made a choice." ”

"You don't want to be this wicked person and push this matter on me?" Listening to his son's complaint, a smile finally appeared on Uncle Xu's face, but this was clearly a bitter smile.

Xu Yi lowered his head a little embarrassed, he sighed in annoyance, as if he was regretting what he had done, "Anyway, now that I have told Xiao Ci, I can't hide it if I want to hide it, the long pain is better than the short pain, it's better to tell her the truth." ”

"Since you've already brought her home, there's no way to stop telling her." Uncle Xu sighed at Xu Yi, then turned his gaze to me and waved at me gently.

"Xiao Ci, since you want to know the truth, then come with me, the two of us will go to the study to talk, and there is no place to sit down here."

"Now?"

Obviously, on the way to the Xu family, I was extremely looking forward to the moment when I knew the truth, but now when Uncle Xu asked to tell me, I was inexplicably hesitant.

When they got my answer again, Uncle Xu and Xu Yi were stunned, they didn't expect me to suddenly ask such a question, but he still nodded at me, confirming my question.

"Since you're here, it's natural to solve it as soon as possible, isn't it because you're here to know about it?"

"That's right, I really want to know the truth." While nodding at Uncle Xu, I couldn't help but look at the kitchen, where Aunt Xu was still busy, it was obvious that she hadn't done so much housework on weekdays, and she looked a little clumsy.

"But since I'm here, I want to know the truth at any time, Uncle Xu, you can tell me, and I'm not so anxious."

While explaining to Uncle Xu, my footsteps couldn't help but walk in the direction of the kitchen, "I see that Aunt Xu is alone in the kitchen, it is estimated that it will take a long time to do it, why don't I help her, Uncle Xu, why don't you go to the study and wait for me first, I'll go over later!" ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of Uncle Xu's agreement or objection, I immediately ran in the direction of the kitchen, leaving the two of them behind, so I didn't have to worry about what their reaction was.

When I walked into the kitchen, Aunt Xu was making coffee in front of me, and it was clear that she hadn't used the coffee machine herself on a regular day, and she was not very good at using it now.

"Aunt Xu asked me to come, I usually make my own coffee at home, I am the most skilled in this machine, and I guarantee that the coffee made is fragrant and pure."

While whispering to Aunt Xu, I walked towards her, as if I didn't expect that I was behind her, and when I heard me speak, I was slightly stunned, and turned around and was startled by me.

I saw him holding his chest and whispering to me, "Xiao Ci, when did you come in, don't tell me, if I had a bad heart, I would have been scared to death by you!" ”

"I just came in, and I saw Aunt Xu busy inside, so I didn't dare to disturb you." I smiled at Aunt Xu, reached out to take the cup in her hand, and began to expertly make coffee.

Seeing that I pressed the coffee machine quite quickly a few times, and it was operational, Aunt Xu sighed, obviously she didn't expect it to be so simple.

"So that's fine, I thought it was so difficult, it's all because I don't usually pay attention to this, and now when I use it...... It's not going to be anything. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's always going to learn slowly, didn't Aunt Xu say it herself, it was because she hadn't operated it before, and after a long time in the future, she will naturally know how to do it." And Aunt Xu's craftsmanship is so good, the coffee she makes must be delicious! ”

Listening to my words, a smile finally bloomed on Aunt Xu's face, "You kid, no matter what time it is, your mouth is always so sweet, if only you could be by my side all the time......"

"I also said before that as long as I have time, I will definitely come to see Aunt Xu at any time. It's just that I've been a little busy in the past two days, so I didn't come over, but I didn't expect to suddenly ...... Xu family as soon as I came today."

While whispering to Aunt Xu, I felt that something was wrong when I was talking, so I could only stop for a while to look at Aunt Xu, and her expression really dimmed.

"Yes, who would believe it, but it's only a few days, you came to the Xu family before, and now you are in the Xu family, it's just two states.

Actually, don't say it's a small resignation, even I am still living in a dream......" Aunt Xu sighed softly and slowly spoke, with an indelible resentment in her tone.

Her words made my heart twitch, seeing that Aunt Xu wanted to cry again now, even though I had tried very hard to keep myself from caring about the changes in the Xu family now, I still couldn't help asking.

The coffee machine was still buzzing, but I grabbed Aunt Xu's hand tightly, looked into her eyes and asked eagerly, "Uncle Xu and Xu Yi are unwilling to tell me, but you love me the most, and you can't hide it from me with them!"

What's wrong with the Xu family, tell me quickly, maybe I have a way to help you! ”

"You have a way to ......" Aunt Xu looked at my eyes and seemed to be a little shaken, but she quickly shook her head firmly, unwilling to look at me again.

"No, what can you do as a girl? I told you, it's just one more person to worry about, you just listen to your Uncle Xu and Xu Yi, don't worry about these things, this is the Xu family's business, and we have to deal with it. ”

"But haven't you and Uncle Xu always treated me as our own daughter?

In this case, I am also a member of the Xu family, just tell me, if I don't have the ability to help, forget it, if I have the ability, you don't have to be so sad! ”

"This ......" Aunt Xu was still a little hesitant, she looked in the direction of the living room, and only sighed after making sure that Xu Yi and Uncle Xu had gone upstairs.

"Xiao Ci, in fact, what you see today is only a part, in two days, maybe we won't even be able to keep this house, so we will have to move to other places."

"Why?" I couldn't believe Aunt Xu's words, but when she said it, her tears flowed involuntarily.

"Good manner, why did you sell these furniture and move out of this house, this is the place where you and Uncle Xu have lived all your life!"

"I wouldn't want to move from here if I could, but now I can't help myself!"

Aunt Xu wiped the tears from her face and explained to me, "The business situation of the Xu family has not been very optimistic in recent years, and the partner absconded with the money two days ago, and now the Xu family owes a large amount of debt, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it off......

While speaking, Aunt Xu became more and more desperate, and her crying became louder and louder, but she was still desperately suppressing, for fear that Xu Yi and Uncle Xu upstairs would hear it.

And I stood in front of Aunt Xu, listening to what she said, and my heart was even more mixed.

The partner donated money and absconded, which should have been a major event in the business world, but in the past two days, because of my relationship with Qin Han, other news has been temporarily drowned, and even I didn't know that such a big change had happened in the Xu family.
