This middle-aged man is Xu Xinjie's father, Xu Wei, president of the Xu Group and patriarch of the Xu family. And Xu Wei's other identity is the left protector of the Eagle Claw Gate. What he practiced just now was the Eagle Claw Gate's stunt Eagle Claw Gong.

Heaven and earth changed, the aura was thin, the cultivators gradually disappeared from people's field of vision, and the legendary martial arts also disappeared into the deeper depths of this world. But this does not mean that martial arts have declined like the cultivation realm, it just exists in another form.

Now is the era of science and technology, the legal society, the era of martial arts people who used to violate the ban with martial arts and dominate the situation is gone, and people in martial arts need to be active in all levels of this society in another way.

The low-level ones are like Hu Jianguo, who are gangsters in society, and the higher-level ones use the resources of the sect to develop their power and become the upper-class people in the society. The current martial arts sect is more like an alliance of interests, and the sect has binding force on subordinates, but it has no power to kill and kill.

Just like the current Eagle Claw Gate, it has already passed the heyday of thousands of disciples swearing to serve their lives under the order of the sect master, and the current core disciples are only a few dozen, and the loyalty to the sect is not as good as the generation.

The master of the Eagle Claw Gate, the left and right protectors of the Dharma are the highest power centers of the sect, and if there are no major changes, they are all hereditary. Xu Wei inherited the position of his father, Xu Xinjie's grandfather, and became the left protector of the Eagle Claw Gate.

"Hmph, you still know that when you come back, I thought you had completely forgotten about me as a father. Xu Wei said dissatisfied.

Xu Wei's dissatisfaction is justified, what is the youngest doctor at Rongcheng University, the most promising scholar of heavy metal pollution, these are very remarkable things for ordinary people, and for Xu Wei, they are not worth mentioning at all.

What's the use of Xu Wei asking for a female doctor and a female scientist? What he wants is the manager of a family and a strong woman in a sect.

Xu Xinjie remained silent, which was her most common method of countering her father, especially when it came to topics she didn't want to mention.

Xu Wei sighed a little helplessly, turned around and walked towards his room.

When he arrived in the room, Xu Wei pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

As soon as Xu Xinjie sat down, a very handsome, about twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman walked in from outside the door with a big belly, and when she saw Xu Xinjie, she said enthusiastically: "Xinjie is back." ”

When Xu Xinjie heard this, she nodded reluctantly, which was considered to have been said hello.

Seeing this, Xu Wei snorted dissatisfiedly, and said majestically: "Twenty-seven or eighteen years old, I don't even have any rules." ”

Xu Xinjie sat there, indifferent. This woman with a big belly is the second wife of her father Xu Wei, who is her stepmother.

Xu Xinjie can understand her father's desire to pass on the lineage, and she has no objection to him remarrying twenty years after her mother's death, but this does not mean that she will call this woman who is two years younger than herself Aunt or Little Mom.

"Ah Wei, what's wrong with you, Xinjie finally came back once, you should be happy, how can there be so many rules. Lin Xiaoyu said angrily, then showed an apologetic smile to Xu Xinjie, and said goodbye to rest, in fact, this was deliberately left for their father and daughter to communicate.

Xu Xinjie didn't have much hatred for Lin Xiaoyu, on the contrary, she felt that Lin Xiaoyu was actually quite pitiful, this woman loved her father wholeheartedly, but what her father cared about was only the child in her belly.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu leave, Xu Wei asked directly, "What is the matter with your coming back this time?" I don't believe that you came back to see me. ”

"I heard that you are now talking to the Han family's Donglian Group about the Qianshuiwan project?" asked Xu Xinjie.

"Yes, how do you know?" asked Xu Wei with some surprise.

"It was Han Chong who told me. Xu Xinjie replied.

"Yes? It turned out that Xiao Chong told you, it seems that the relationship between the two of you is good, and there has been new progress recently?" Xu Wei finally heard a good news, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Xu Xinjie corrected unceremoniously: "Dad, I think you are mistaken, I have nothing to do with Han Chong." He told me this just to remind me that you want to cooperate with the Han family, and I am a bargaining chip for this cooperation, but he is a key person. ”

Xu Wei's face changed, and he said: "Don't say it so ugly, no matter how you say it, Xiao Chong is also an excellent man, you should be very satisfied." ”

"Excellent??The amount of money can measure whether a person is excellent or not?, but unfortunately this money was not earned by him Han Chong. Xu Xinjie said sarcastically.

Xu Wei's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have, do you think that men without money are better?"

"What if you have money, like you, leave your mother at home alone, is this an excellent man?" Xu Xinjie did not back down, and asked coldly, with tears faintly flashing in her eyes.

Hearing Xu Xinjie mention her mother, his first wife, Xu Wei's momentum was discharged, and the whole person was much older, which was one of the most self-reproachful things in his life, he knew that his daughter was still hating himself for her mother's death.

It is precisely because of this guilt for his daughter that the strong Xu Wei has repeatedly tolerated his daughter's stubborn and rebellious behavior, but unfortunately this time, Xu Xinjie can't help it no matter what.

Family businesses are both strong and vulnerable. In the family, there is also a family lineage, and the struggle between the branches has never stopped. The Xu family has a total of three rooms, Xu Wei's branch was originally a second room, but the power is relatively large, in the previous political struggle, because Xu Wei's father Xu Yuanhua stood on the right camp, the power has been greatly developed, and finally replaced the big house at that time, and obtained the management of the family.

It's a pity that Xu Yuan died too early, after Xu Wei succeeded as the head of the family, although he had the support of the government, but after all, the foundation was unstable, and the third room of the family had always retained considerable power, and Xu Wei's second room was full of internal contradictions, and Xu Wei's position as the head of the family has always been unstable.

This is not the key, the biggest problem is that Xu Wei has no son, only Xu Xinjie has a daughter. If this daughter concentrates on the family business, it is not difficult for Xu Wei to forcibly put his daughter on the throne with the power of the head of the family and the power of the Eagle Claw Gate, as long as there is more time to consolidate the power of the second room, it is not difficult to suppress the big house and the third room.

It's a pity that Xu Xinjie has a grudge against her father Xu Wei because of her mother's affairs, and she moved out of Xu's manor, not to mention, but even devoted herself to scientific research and study, and if she wants to inherit the Xu Group, she can't convince the public at all.

When it came to this, Xu Wei was also a little disheartened, he was pressed by the big house, and it is not unacceptable to lose the position of the head of the family, no matter how many contradictions, it is still a family, at most he will lose his power, but life is not worried.

It's just that God made a joke with Xu Wei again, after the child in Lin Xiaoyu's belly had a B ultrasound, he was actually confirmed to be a boy and had a son, which made Xu Wei ambitious again, and he was ready to pass on his father's foundation and work hard to his unborn son.

If you want to keep this foundation, the quickest way is to use external forces, and the most suitable person is Han Fengyuan of the Donglian Group, the right protector of the Eagle Claw Gate.

Han Fengyuan had three sons, Han Chong was the eldest son, and he was also the best one, and he was the most likely to inherit the Donglian Group, if he could marry his daughter to Han Chong and get Han Fengyuan's support, then his son's position would be stable and abnormal.

It's a pity that Xu Wei's best plan can't be solved at all by his daughter, which makes Xu Wei a little annoyed.

"Then what do you want?" Xu Wei was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"I just want my marriage to be my own decision. So Dad don't use me as a bargaining chip at the negotiating table for the Qianshuiwan project. Xu Xinjie said resolutely.

Xu Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Impossible, I must have the final say in this matter!"

"Dad, now is a legal society, arranged marriages are not supported, and I have the right to make choices about my marriage. Xu Xinjie did not back down, and there was no yield in her eyes.

Xu Wei was extremely angry, raised his hand and wanted to slap this unfilial girl, but from her stubborn face, he saw the shadow of his wife, his heart suddenly softened, and he sat back down, sighed and said: "Xinjie, why don't you understand your father's hard work?"

How could Xu Xinjie not understand her father's so-called hard work, she was not ignorant of the situation in the family, but she couldn't understand the life goals pursued by her father. It is ridiculous and sad to calculate, fight, and fight to the death with your own people, and then pass on these troubles to the next generation.

Therefore, Xu Xinjie still said indifferently: "Dad, I just want to go my own way, so you still take back your plan, it is impossible for me to marry Han Chong." ”

Xu Xinjie's words angered Xu Wei again, his face turned cold, and he said disobediently: "You can't blame this matter, at the end of this year, you must be engaged to Han Chong!"

Xu Xinjie's eyes were full of disappointment, sadness, and even a hint of hatred. She knew that her father would do what he said, and the law was not too binding in front of her father, especially when it came to her marriage, and any rhetoric would not be effective.

Seeing his daughter walk out of her room with an indifferent expression, there was no trace of family warmth between the two, and Xu Wei's heart was extremely uncomfortable. But he felt that this was for the good of his daughter, and an excellent young man like Han Chong was the best destination for his daughter, and in doing so, his daughter, son, and family would get the most perfect result.

When Xu Xinjie left the Xu family manor, Xu Wei made a phone call and ordered: "Follow Miss these days!"

"Yes, Dharma Protector!" a man's voice came over the phone.

After Xu Wei finished the call, he leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, and his hand gently massaged his temples.

When Xu Xinjie's panda left the Xu family manor, a black sedan appeared like a ghost in the night, following the panda from afar.
