Chapter 52: An Old Man Like an Enemy
"Who's the kid who wants to get engaged to my precious granddaughter?" After being silent for a long time, Huang Puxiong finally spoke, but his face was gloomy and terrifying, as if he might rush out at any time and beat up the "boy of whom" in his mouth.
The hatred in Huangpu Xiong's heart, the granddaughter who worked hard to raise her, is about to be taken away by the evil-hearted weasel silently, in Huangpu Ying's heart, even if Liao Xueer is matched with any man in the world, it is worthy.
In his heart, he silently went through all the young men of the right age around him, and Huang Puxiong found that there was no suitable one for his precious granddaughter, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
Huang Pu Ying looked at Huang Pu Xiong's face was wrong, and quickly replied: "I don't know if you have heard of it, it's called Xiao Lin, that kid ......."
"What? Xiao Lin? Huang Puxiong shouted, a little incredulous, even Zhou Min's expression was a little dazed, as if he remembered something.
Zhou Min frowned: "Is that Xiao Lin?" ”
"Yes...... Yes, it's called Xiao Lin. "Huang Puying was a little frightened, why was he so excited, Xiao Lin's kid was very good.
Huangpuyin and Huangpugui glanced at each other, and there was some speculation in their hearts, and Huangpuyin opened his mouth first: "Little sister, that Xiao Lin, but both parents died, and there is a sister on it, named Xiao Se, and a younger brother named Xiao Jing?" ”
"There is a sister named Xiao Se, who also recognized my goddaughter, and now she is my goddaughter, both of them are well-behaved and sensible, I haven't seen that younger brother, but I've heard them talk about it, and it's right to call Xiao Jing."
Huangpuyin stopped talking, and Huangpu Gui sighed: "Heaven is destined in the dark!" Then he stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the older generations suddenly began to be a little heavy, and Huang Puying was a little restless, could it be that there was something bad about the Xiao family? That's what she thought, and she asked.
"There's nothing bad about it." Zhou Min replied, but suddenly wiped his eyes with his hand.
Huang Pu Xiong suddenly tapped the ground with his cane, his voice was heavy, and he said again: "If it is decided, the engagement should be done as soon as possible, maybe I will have to discuss it with another old fellow." ”
After Huang Pu Xiong finished speaking, he turned around and left the hall, and the back of his always strong body made people feel a little rickety, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.
"Little sister, don't think too much, Xiao Lin is a good boy, it's a pity......" Huang Pugui didn't say any more in the latter words, but the regret in his tone was heard by everyone.
Huang Puying felt a little uneasy in her heart: "Mom, eldest brother and second brother, what is the matter with the Xiao family?" Tell me first, or I won't be able to let go of my heart. ”
Zhou Min sighed, touched the hair of the daughter next to him and asked, "Ah Ying, do you remember what was the name of the fiancé I gave you with your father back then?" ”
Huang Puying thought blankly for a while, and then shook his head, how did this hook up with his fiancé? Maybe people would have married and had children a long time ago.
Huang Puyin smiled, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere: "Ah Ying, you don't have any psychological burden, the second brother will tell you, the man who was engaged to you back then, surnamed Xiao Ming, also married and had children shortly after you left with Liao Dongjian, and had two sons and a daughter, the eldest daughter is named Xiao Se, the second son is Xiao Lin, and the third son is Xiao Jing." ”
The more Huang Puying listened, the more surprised she became, and the more she listened, the more unbelievable she felt, her daughter, her daughter was actually going to marry her fiancé's son, which was really ...... It's really destined in the dark in the old man's mouth.
However, she remembered that Xiao Se once said that their parents had died, which made Huang Puying sigh, if she hadn't gone with Liao Dongjian back then, would everything be different?
Shook her head and stopped thinking about this, Liao Xue'er had already been dragged by her two aunts and brothers to play, it was still the nature of a little girl, how could she rest assured if she married like this? It's better to stay a few more years.
The elders of Liao Xue'er's family can be said to have had a smooth journey, Xiao Lin won the favor of everyone in the father-in-law's family, and even the people of the Huangpu family felt guilty about Xiao Lin's sister and brother because of what happened back then, and agreed to the marriage of the two without too much embarrassment.
It's just that happiness comes too quickly, which makes people feel a little unreal, and the next morning, Xiao Lin's apartment ushered in an uninvited guest.
"What are you still doing, I have already said that my father did not compromise with the family back then, and I will not compromise with the family now, not to mention, my father has already stated that he will leave the family, why do you bother to bother in vain." Xiao Lin looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his heart was full of all kinds of emotions, including dissatisfaction, disgust, and hatred, but there was no relationship between relatives that ordinary people have.
The old man seemed to be aware of Xiao Lin's attitude, he didn't get excited, he didn't scold Xiao Lin's behavior, he just snorted disdainfully: "Do you think you can deal with the entire Xiao family now that your wings are hard?" Your current Shaw Company is just a small fight, I didn't take it back in order to exercise your ability, if you are so obsessed with it, it will only be an overnight matter for me to let Shaw go bankrupt. ”
"You!"
Xiao Lin clenched his fists, this old man was still as savage and arrogant as before, he hated this old man at the first sight when he saw him when he was a child, and now he has developed his hatred, from beginning to end, he has been tempered by this old man step by step.
In the past, although he said that it was a little unreasonable, he would never directly say that he wanted to destroy the Xiao family like now, it was his father's life's work.
"What do you want to do? Go ahead. Closing his eyes, Xiao Lin still compromised, he couldn't see the Xiao family ruined, the old man was by no means just talking, he always did what he said, even his own son could ...... Xiao Lin didn't know what else this ruthless old man couldn't do.
"Humph!" The old man used brute force to knock Xiao Lin away, walked in and sat down on the sofa: "That's how you treat guests?" Not even a cup of tea! ”
"Guest? Can you also be considered a guest? Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows and said, for the sake of the company, he will agree to the old man's conditions, but it does not mean that he will talk to him in a good voice and let them reconcile, impossible!
Liao Xue'er in the house heard the sound and walked out, usually there are only two people at home, Xiao Se will occasionally come over to visit the door, but the old man's voice is the first time to appear, and it is so unfriendly.
"Xiao Lin, who's outside?"
Suffered, Xiao Lin secretly snorted, how could he forget that Liao Xue'er was still there, and after glancing at the old man, Xiao Lin hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, don't come out, I can solve it." ”
The old man sneered and looked at Xiao Lin: "You are really good at it, and those women outside dare to bring it home, just like your father." ”
"Get out!"
"I can't stand it if I just say it, why do you say that you can keep the small company left by your father, without the support of my Xiao family, you Xiao Lin is nothing."
"I said, get out of here!" Xiao Lin suppressed the anger in his heart, and roared again, he was not afraid of the old man turning his face, but he was afraid that Liao Xue'er would worry about him.
"Okay, well, it's really hard now." The old man laughed angrily, stood up with his crutches, and quickly raised his crutches and waved it fiercely behind Xiao Lin's back, and after the fight, he walked out with a mocking snort, and the two bodyguards waiting at the door also followed dutifully, and the sound of the dispute in the living room disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Lin slumped on the sofa tiredly, raised his hand to cover his eyes, how long will this kind of being controlled by others last?
"Xiao Lin." Liao Xue'er sat next to Xiao Lin at some point and leaned on his shoulder: "Who is that old man, why are you so arrogant?" ”
"It's okay, don't be afraid, Xue'er, I'm here." Xiao Lin muttered softly, as if he was comforting Liao Xue'er, and as if he was talking to himself.
Liao Xue'er nodded, continued to lean on Xiao Lin's shoulder, and neither of them spoke, just snuggled quietly.
It took a while for the two of them to come to their senses, get up and pack up their things and go to the company, the old man wanted to destroy what he was holding on, but he wanted to protect it, whether it was his company or his love.
Xiao Lin thought that the old man would stop for a while after coming once, but who knew that the old man would reappear in the apartment after they got off work.
"Why are you again, what do you want to do, don't pretend to care about me, as early as the day my father broke off relations with the Xiao family, I have nothing to do with you!"
The old man ignored Xiao Lin's words, looked strange and probed in the room, and the two bodyguards also followed, looking at Xiao Lin with a defensive expression, for fear that he would do something unfavorable to the old man.
"It smells so good!" The old man searched for the smell and found the kitchen door, only to think that even if it was the food in the best hotel that he had eaten before, it was not as good as the smell coming from the kitchen at this time.
"You ......" At this time, the old man did not have the harsh and contemptuous eyes on weekdays, like a child who was hungry for food, which made Xiao Lin's eyes flash a trace of doubt and looked at the old man in a daze, not knowing what to say.
The old man didn't care about Xiao Lin's reaction, he walked into the kitchen, walked to Liao Xue'er's side and looked at it for a long time, Liao Xue'er also stopped cleaning up the kitchen, and stood there for the old man to look.
"Female doll, no wonder that stinky boy is so protective of you, you are smart enough, you know how to grab a man's heart and grab his stomach first, but you are not very old, and your heart is not small."
The old man looked at Liao Xue'er's appearance, looked at her age, and immediately thought of those women who cling to the powerful, but this female doll is still young, and looking at Xiao Lin's enthusiasm for her, I am afraid that it is for what kind of bullshit to love each other, this thought, only love is waste.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Lin's heart tightened, he knew that Liao Xue'er was not with him for money at all, but when he heard others say this, he still couldn't help but be angry in his heart, he didn't allow anyone to slander his beloved woman like this.
Liao Xue'er didn't have the anger that the old man imagined, she just smiled calmly, and then said, "Old man, you haven't eaten yet, stay and have a meal together." ”
