Chapter 74: Ahead of schedule
"What's wrong with Grandpa, has he always been healthy when he is unwell, why did he suddenly get seriously ill?" Xiao Yu asked eagerly on the way back to Tiansha.
The ones who came to pick him up were relatives of the Xiao family, and they were also Xiao Yu's forms, Luo Cheng and Luo Gong. They are two brothers, the sons of Aunt Xiao Yu's family.
My aunt has been very good to Xiao Yu since she was a child, which led to the relationship between her and her cousin and getting along very well.
"We don't know the specifics, but after my mother got the news, she asked us to pick you up along the way, so we came, and the rest is not very clear. β
Xiao Yu didn't know what to say, only his mental strength was abnormally anxious.
As the granddaughter of the Xiao family, her grandfather has always been good to her, and it can be said that in addition to her parents, her grandfather and aunt are the only people in the world who make him care.
It has been a few years since she came out, and most of the Xiao family knows why she came out.
In fact, the situation of the Xiao family is very complicated.
The Xiao family started in her grandfather's generation, which is the current generation of the head of the Xiao family, and there are three brothers in their generation.
The eldest Xiao Zhengqi, Xiao Yu's grandfather, the second Xiao Zhengyuan, and the third Xiao Zhenghua, are all Xiao Yu's uncles and grandfathers.
Although Xiao Zhengqi is the head of the Xiao family, it is a pity that he has a pair of children under his knees.
However, his son died young, and now, there is only one daughter left, and his son who died early is Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Yufei.
It can be said that Xiao Yu is also an orphan, but her parents died in a car accident when she was twenty years old, leaving her with a family of three.
However, she still has the Xiao family, as well as her dear grandfather and aunt, and her aunt is Xiao Lin, the daughter of Old Man Xiao.
And the second and third parties, I don't know if it's because they have nothing to do, or if they think about less.
These two houses are lush and leafy, and there are many children and grandchildren.
The two uncles and grandfathers, seeing that the boss's body was declining day by day, and there was no heir under their knees, they also had their own ideas.
After Xiao Yu's father died, they began to take action, installing their own cronies within the Xiao Group, eating away at Xiao Zhengqi's full strength step by step, and gradually shrinking or diluting his influence in the group.
In the final analysis, they wanted to master everything about the Xiao Group, and after doing this, they began to squeeze out Xiao Yu, who was a descendant.
In their eyes, the things of the Xiao family can only be inherited by the people of the Xiao family, and the daughter of the Xiao family is not qualified.
Sooner or later, they will get married, and the water spilled by the married daughters is from someone else's family.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yu is too lazy to stay in Tiansha, and chooses to live alone outside and live a comfortable life.
In the following years, the second grandfather and the third grandfather ran the Shaw Group, and their shortcomings soon became apparent.
Poor management and lack of economic acumen have led to a group that was originally thriving and profitable, but suddenly fell into a situation of negative profitability.
No matter what they tried, they couldn't get the Xiao Group back on track, and in order to keep the Xiao family from completely declining, they thought of uniting.
Unite other powerful families and cooperate with the Xiao family, and the best way to unite is to marry the two families.
And the victim of marriage is Xiao Yu.
The family that married with it was the first family in the former Sin Continent domain, the Zeng family.
The history of the Zeng family is hundreds of years, and the era of the family was in the previous dynasty, and the Zeng family produced a dragon.
This dragon, once dominated the former feudal dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, was known as the minister of the Qing Dynasty, and continued his life for the Qing Dynasty, which can be said to have made great contributions.
It was from that time that the Zeng family began to flourish and become a first-class family, leading the Xingzhou region.
Helplessly, over the years, the Zeng family has not produced any talents, and because it is a family of heroes in the previous dynasty, it has been suppressed by the current dynasty, and it has gradually been surpassed by other families.
The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Zeng family's influence in Xingzhou should not be underestimated.
In order for the family to continue to prosper for a long time, they have to unite with the emerging family to achieve a win-win situation.
In this way, the Xiao family and the Zeng family got together, and the two discussed marriage, and verbally agreed that they would join forces in the future to reorganize the Xiao family and the Zeng family group company to realize the sharing of resources and common development of the two families.
Zeng Yufang of the Zeng family can be regarded as the dragon among people, Xiao Yu of the Xiao family, is also the phoenix among people, the two families are married, the family is right, and the men and women are also talented and beautiful.
The sons of the Zeng family have always been known for their tutoring, and Zeng Yufang is also a good man, so Old Man Xiao naturally has nothing to say.
Only Xiao Yu was not very willing.
But she couldn't bear to let her grandfather worry about the family's affairs when he was old, for him, to find a good home for his granddaughter, in this life, there would be nothing worth him caring about.
The distance between Rongcheng and Tiansha is not far by car, two hours by car.
It was very wide, and under Xiao Yu's ardent expectation, the car drove into the courtyard of the Xiao family's villa.
The car stopped steadily, and Xiao Yu's figure rushed out impatiently.
"Yo, Xiaoyu is back!"
"Xiaoyu, but I haven't seen you in a few years. β
"It's really a woman's eighteen changes, and the more she changes, the better she looks. β
As soon as I entered the door, those aunts and other aunts praised them.
What made Xiao Yu strange was that in their eyes, there was no melancholy of the so-called head of the family who was seriously ill, but a sense of joy.
Xiao Yu only thought that their thoughts were other things, and they didn't think much about it, so they ran towards the villa.
"Where's Grandpa?"
"Miss Sun, the master is playing chess in the backyard!" the Xiao family's housekeeper responded.
Xiao Yu was suspicious for a while, playing chess?
Didn't you say that grandpa was seriously ill?
Immediately, she didn't think much about it and ran quickly to the backyard.
"Haha, general, Zeng family master, I'm sorry, you lost!"
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Xiao Yu heard a familiar voice, and it was his grandfather, Xiao Zhengqi, who spoke.
Where does he look like a seriously ill person?
And his aunt, accompanied by him, was a middle-aged man playing chess, and behind him was a young man with a somewhat dark skin and a strong body, standing there like a straight javelin.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Xiao Yu asked in small steps.
Xiao Zhengqi saw that it was his granddaughter who came back, so he was overjoyed and said: "Xiaoyu is back, come quickly! Let grandpa see if my good granddaughter has lost weight?"
The old man was not sick at all, he was very healthy, Xiao Yu pouted: "Grandpa, what the hell is going on, why did you call me back in a hurry?"
Old Man Xiao said: "I'm angry, isn't this the Zeng family Yufang coming back, if I don't say I'm sick, can you come back?
The old man pointed to the young man who was standing opposite him with a somewhat sluggish expression and said, "Boy, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly introduce yourself, this is my granddaughter, beautiful, right?"
After the initial amazement, Zeng Yufang's face immediately returned to its normal state, and he hurriedly said: "Hello! I'm Zeng Yufang, I'm glad to meet you." β
After speaking, he stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands.
Xiao Yu didn't stretch out his hand, the girl's family, she had to be reserved.
Zeng Yufang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and the middle-aged man on the side said: "Hehe, I didn't expect Xiaoyu to become more and more beautiful over the years, I hugged you when you were a child, I'm afraid I don't know you now, right?"
Old Man Xiao said: "This is the head of the Zeng family, Zeng Hu, you have to call your uncle, when you were full moon, he came, and he did hug you, the one just now, it was his son and your future fiancΓ©." β
The old man said very bluntly, and when Xiao Yu heard it, he said with a straight face: "Grandpa, isn't it yet, isn't it the end of the year?"
Old Man Xiao laughed, "The Yufang troops are resting, he has to have a few days off, so he chooses to come back early, and he may not be able to get out at the end of the year, so ah, grandpa discussed with the head of the Zeng family, and in these few days, set a suitable date to get married to the two of you, but it's okay but it's a matter of heart." β
Engaged early?
Are you kidding?
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, but she was not prepared at all.
