Chapter 158: The Origin of the Xiao Family and the Zhen Family (4)
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes were full of gratitude to Zhen Ni's father, and after stabilizing his feelings, he thought about it again before continuing: "It is my request not to let outsiders know that we are a subsidiary family of the Zhen family; It is also a joint decision of me, Xiao Li, and Xiao Long to no longer want the favor of the Zhen family.
It's not that we want to get rid of the Zhen family, but because we don't want to survive forever as a low-end affiliated family, under the protection of the Zhen family, we want to walk out of a strong road of self-improvement.
For this, I confessed to the head of the family, and I said to the head of the family, I want to lead the Xiao clan to rise with my own ability......"
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly self-deprecatingly, "At that time, I was known as the first genius of the Imperial State, and I was very conceited.
When I first broke through to the late stage of the four-star, the head of the family sent someone to send a seven-star inner armor in my personal name, but I refused, I felt that I had the ability to break through to the five-star on my own.
However, the road to self-improvement was so difficult, just when I was making the final preparations for the Five-Star Emperor Tribulation, I was accidentally hit by the soul devouring mark of the soul demon clan...... I don't know if it was the Soul Demon Clan who knew that we were deliberately targeted by the Zhen family's affiliated family, or if it was purely accidental, in short, my path to self-improvement was cut off like this......"
You know what is going on. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the Zhen family that cannot be compared to the Xiao family, it can only be said that the strength of the Xiao family determines that the status of the Xiao family in the Zhen family cannot be high, and the people of the Xiao family are unlikely to be respected enough by the Zhen family. However, I think that in the Doudi Continent, where strength is respected, the Zhen family is not wrong. ”
I see. Only then did everyone completely understand the relationship between the Xiao family and the Zhen family, and they had some understanding of the Zhen family's attitude towards the Xiao family.
Qing Haoran sighed, "Yes. Strength, you have to rely on strength to speak. Miss Jenny, the second thing I need to know is for you. For some reason, though, over the years, your father and your uncle didn't get along very well. I'm also a little estranged from you emotionally, but Xiao Fu is very related to Shang Meng and Miss Jenny, and I don't believe he didn't pay attention to Xiao Fu. What I need to know is, how much does he really know about the Xiao Mansion? In other words, did your uncle and you tell or reveal the inside story of the Xiao Mansion to your father? ”
Zhen Ni's expression was slightly gloomy when Qing Haoran talked about the emotional estrangement between her and her father, but when Qing Haoran asked her if she had revealed the inside story of Xiao Mansion to her father. Zhenni's face immediately flushed, and she steadied herself and nodded. Said: 'I told my uncle. At the beginning, in order to obtain the prescription of the Qingling Liquid, the Shang Alliance sent people out of the mansion to help Xiao Yan establish the Xiao Mansion, and also formed an ally with the Xiao Mansion, my father was very surprised. I don't think it's just for some money. I think my uncle is too ...... It's too condescending, and I don't understand why my uncle is doing this. Maybe it's because of this, maybe ...... Maybe it's because I'm in Xiao Mansion, he pays special attention to the development of Xiao Mansion. As for me, I deliberately revealed some things about the Xiao Mansion to my uncle, with the purpose of trying to figure out Uncle Guò's oral transmission to my father, so as to improve the status of the Xiao Mansion in my father's mind. ”
Everyone listened, how could they not know that Zhen Ni did this so that her father could recognize Xiao Yan? They all cast meaningful glances at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's heart was moved. I was moved by Zhen Ni's good intentions, but when I thought of Zhen Jian, all of Zhen Ni's efforts were in vain. I couldn't help but cast an apologetic look at Zhenni.
Zhen Ni gave Xiao Yan a relieved smile in return, turned to Qing Haoran and asked nervously, "Demon Emperor, you know the two things you need to know, so what decision will you make?" ”
Qing Haoran seemed to be deliberately trying to make Zhen Ni anxious, he didn't answer Zhen Ni immediately, but sighed, 'Miss Zhen Ni's intentions are really good', then turned his head sideways and smiled at Xiao Yan meaningfully, and then took a sip of the teacup, before looking at Zhen Ni who was so anxious again, and said with a smile: "If I were your father, not only would I not make any unfavorable measures to Xiao Fu, but would throw an olive branch to Xiao Yan, and even give Xiao Fu some more benefits, and try to win over Xiao Yan." ”
'Ahh ”
Everyone was amazed, surprised, and surprised. Jenny was even more overjoyed, and asked with joy in her eyes: 'Really?' My father really wouldn't be angry with the Xiao Mansion? ”
Qing Haoran shook his head with a smile on his face, and said funny: "I completely understand what it means to care. Miss Jenny, with your intelligence, and your knowledge of your father, and your judgment, you should not fail to make this judgment! You're just worried about someone too much, your heart is upset......"
Zhen Ni's face turned red into the most beautiful cloud, she lowered her head, she didn't dare to look directly at Qing Haoran, and after sneaking a glance at Xiao Yan, she calmed down and raised her head, and said softly: "The Demon Emperor, don't make fun of Zhen Ni." Demon Emperor, Zhen Ni's brain is a little messy, and she asked the Demon Emperor to solve Zhen Ni's doubts. ”
'Alas, a woman in love, it's really stupid...... Qing Haoran sighed in his heart, thought for a while, and said: "Zhen Jian was abolished, which is indeed a great loss for the Zhen family, but the Xiao family is a subsidiary family of the Zhen family, and now there is a peerless genius in the Xiao family, and this peerless genius is better and more dazzling than Zhen Jian, and it is definitely a well-deserved first genius under the five-star Dou Emperor, although this peerless genius is not surnamed Zhen, but after all, it belongs to the Zhen family." In other words, Xiao Yan's abolition of Zhen Jian was the abolition of another peerless genius of the Zhen family by a peerless genius of the Zhen family. You say, if you were your father, would you have made a big attack on the Xiao Mansion because of a moment of anger, and killed Xiao Yan to vent your anger for the abolished Zhen Jian? ”
Zhen Ni was like an empowerment, and her eyes suddenly lit up: Yes, the Xiao family is a subsidiary family of the Zhen family, and Xiao Yan is the peerless genius of the Zhen family! How did I not take this into account?
Seeing that Zhen Ni, Xiao Yao and everyone were all suddenly overjoyed, only Xiao Yan was not too impressed, Qing Haoran continued: "With your father's shrewdness, after knowing the rapid development of the Xiao Mansion, it is impossible to imagine that the Xiao clan will develop into a big force sooner or later. Any weak family, after having the strength to compete with the big force it is affiliated with, will be independent from the attachment to that big force, and there are countless examples of this in the Doudi Continent. Since you don't take retaliatory action against the Xiao Clan, will your father show goodwill to the Xiao Clan after the Xiao Clan has developed into a big force? Qing Haoran's tone suddenly increased. 'No! He knows all too well the difference between icing on the cake and giving charcoal in the snow. Therefore, no matter how low the status of the Xiao family was in the eyes of the Zhen family before, they rushed to win over the Xiao family and Xiao Yanyan. He will pay special attention to the Xiao family, and will definitely show favor to the Xiao family when they need help the most in the development process, and even give the Xiao family some support! And now, it is such a time, and it just so happens that Xiao Yan abolished Zhen Jian, he did not pursue the Xiao family, but showed favor to the Xiao family. It's hard for the Xiao family to accept it! ”
'Wow! ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and Qing Mu'er jumped up with joy: "So, the little liar is still abolishing Zhen Jian?" Elder brother. You say, what kind of support will the Zhen family give to the Xiao family? ”
Qing Haoran smiled angrily: "How do I know this? However, it should be what the Xiao people need the most at the moment. It doesn't make sense for the Xiao clan to give what they don't need. ”
What do the Xiao people need most at the moment? What do the Xiao need at the moment? It seems that there is nothing missing!
Zhen Ni, who had no worries, regained her shrewdness, and her eyes moved. blurted out: 'Territorial? A good piece of territory? ”
Everyone's eyes lit up. Xiao Yan was also moved. Yes, what the Xiao people need most at present is a good piece of territory.
Le Shaolong said in ecstasy: "Haha, bad things have turned into good things, in this way, the rise of the Xiao clan will be faster!" But he saw that Xiao Yan was not happy, and immediately understood what Xiao Yan was worried about, and he couldn't help but worry. It's just that there's no such thing as a free lunch. The Zhen family has given these benefits to the Xiao family, and they will definitely ask the Xiao family to disclose the identity of the Zhen family's affiliated families, and have certain constraints on the Xiao family, so it will be difficult for the Xiao family to be as independent as before, I am worried that Xiao Shao may not be happy. ”
Le Shaolong's words made everyone's eyes turn to Xiao Yan.
Zhenni secretly sweated after being happy. She understands Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan usually seems easy-going, and even a little wooden, but he is extremely stubborn by nature, and has no sense of belonging to the Zhen family, if Xiao Yan thinks that this is another form of threat from the Zhen family and refuses to accept it, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Zhen family will directly face a breakdown, and the possibility of her and Xiao Yan getting together will become extremely slim, she is very afraid that Xiao Yan will say no words. But she didn't show any expectations in her expression, she knew that Xiao Yan must be very entangled at this time, she hoped that Xiao Yan could make a decision after careful thinking and weighing, and at the same time, she also wanted to see how heavy she was in Xiao Yan's heart.
I have to say that Zhen Ni really knows Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan is indeed in extreme entanglement at this time, and it is almost exactly the same as Zhen Ni thinks-
If the Zhen family throws an olive branch to me, it seems to be conducive to the rise of the Xiao family, but in fact it is a disguised threat, using the matter of Zhen Jian to threaten us to exist as a subsidiary family of the Zhen family forever.
But I don't have the slightest sense of belonging to the Zhen family, if it weren't for Zhen Ni, I don't even think I have anything to do with the Zhen family, why should I be attached to the Zhen family? Just because I'm afraid that if I don't accept it, I will refute the face of the head of the Zhen family, and the head of the Zhen family will meet the Xiao Mansion in anger? Damn, am I, Xiao Yan, a person who is afraid of things? As long as Xiao Mansion has another period of development, who is afraid that who will not know!
But...... If I don't accept it, Jenny's father will hate me to death, and it will be difficult for Jenny and I to get together, and I will lose Zhenny's affection for me...... What should I choose? ”
For a long time, Xiao Yan didn't make a decision, he raised his eyes with difficulty, and asked a little weakly: "I want to ask everyone to help me analyze and analyze, if I refuse the olive branch thrown by the Zhen family, what will be the consequences?" ”
Zhenni secretly said, 'Sure enough', and her heart tightened suddenly.
Qing Haoran immediately replied: "I think Zhen Zongfu will definitely feel that he has lost face, and if he says it ugly, he will think that you are shameless, and he will definitely be angry." But it's not enough to make a move against the Xiao family, after all, it will be difficult to say that you can't win over you, not to mention that Zhen Bufan, the leader of the Business Alliance, will definitely mediate for you, and Miss Zhen Ni is also in the Xiao Mansion. ”
Jenny shook her head bitterly, "I don't have much to do here, at most it's the smallest factor my father will consider. She hugged her arms a little nervously, her jade fingers tapped her arms lightly, and she said while thinking, "However, what the Demon Emperor said is very reasonable, and it should not be possible to do anything to Xiao Mansion, but my father will definitely put forward conditions and ask me to ...... Completely dissociated from the Xiao Mansion and returned to the Shang Alliance, and since then has severed any contact with the Xiao Mansion......"
As soon as Zhen Ni said this, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn, and they were all worried about how Xiao Yan would decide. (To be continued......)
