"Give you another ten years, and you won't see that pile of real things,"

With Belle's fluttering words, the living room of the villa fell into an eerie silence.

Ai Zhixin, who was still in high spirits just now, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned the color of pig liver.

He really didn't understand and panicked, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and let his father make such an unbearable evaluation of himself.

Looking at the eyes of everyone around him, except for his mother, they were all full of banter and schadenfreude, and the sweat on Ai Zhixin's forehead began to drip unconsciously.

Having survived in this family for 30 years, Ai Zhixin understands the virtues of these people too well, and every word of his father can be explained countless by these people, and then turned into the basis for them to praise and step on the low.

Ai Zhixin can now imagine that if he can't make a reasonable explanation immediately, the second wife, who is in charge of the family's finances, can let the loan of his mother and son be postponed this month.

Ai Zhixin still remembers that when he was a child, he followed his parents and family to the lighthouse, and after trying his best to get the lighthouse status, the family had little money.

Without money, it is impossible to maintain a privileged life in the lighthouse, so Lord Baylor, who is good at management, came up with a "family loan".

All the people in the family can take out all the loans, and then use the loans on the family business, and the profits of the family business will be repaid first every month, and the rest will be used to support the living expenses of a large family.

After several years of development, the Ai family has owned several small shops in San Francisco, and has also started some other small businesses.

It's just that Lord Belle, who has let go of Yinzi money in the mainland, doesn't know if he can't understand the methods of the lighthouse bank! It's still deliberate, in short, although the business has been so-so for so many years, the loan has always been there and has not been repaid.

Ai Zhixin believes that this is actually a means of controlling his family's finances, because if anyone is disobedient, his family will naturally not repay his loan.

If you don't pay back the money you owe to the bank at the lighthouse, it's worse than messing with the community.

That's why just now Ai Zhixin wanted to ask for a reward and remove the shackles from his body, but now it seems. It's time to finish the calf.

"Amma. You give me a little more time, I just took into account the loyalty of the Guan brothers over the years, so I was too gentle with them,

When I go back this time, I will make them understand that there is a limit to our patience, and if he is shrouded in clouds and fog with me again, I will clean him up."

"Don't," Lord Belle smiled faintly, "If you force them into a hurry, they will definitely clean you up first." ”

“.”

Ai Zhixin's face became even more ugly, and he quickly shook his head and said, "No, Ama, I also blushed with the Guan brothers in the capital, but in the end, I didn't obediently take out a few things?" There is a first and there is a second"

"Alright! Don't talk about that. ”

Lord Belle interrupted his son's words, closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, thinking for a long time before asking, "Xiaoxin! I asked you to invite Guan Da to visit the lighthouse, what did he say? ”

Ai Zhixin pursed his lips and said with a little weakness: "The Guan brothers all said that they are old and really difficult to leave their homeland, and they also said that they miss Ama very much, and they hope that Ama Ye will return to his roots and return to the capital for them to serve."

"Heh~, serve."

Lord Belle smiled lightly and said, "They wish I was dead!" Still serving me? If I go back to the capital, I'm afraid I'm going to serve me two taels of arsenic, right? ”

“.”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all very surprised.

Because when the family sent Ai Zhixin back to the mainland a while ago, Lord Belle and the eldest lady also said that the Guan family brothers were loyal and trustworthy, and they would inevitably help the family regain their strength, but now they suddenly made a 180-degree turn?

The second lady glanced at Ai Zhixin, and said in a sharp tone: "Those two dog minions are really bold, calling them to come to the lighthouse to share the wealth, and they are really served.

Didn't you tell them what your father said? You can't do such a small thing, why did you rush to take this errand in the first place? It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose."

Ai Zhixin's heart felt as disgusting as a lump of rotten chocolate.

This second lady used to be a concubine, but after the death of her father's original eldest lady, she defeated the other two sisters and successfully ascended the throne and became her father's legal wife.

Now the family's several shops are in charge of the second lady and her children, and the monthly income is also the first to benefit after the loan is repaid.

The problem is that they are all like this, and when they have the opportunity, they still slam on the children of the rest of the houses.

Just now, it was obvious that he was not the Guan family's brother, but he had to be accused of incompetence in a roundabout way, and he didn't know what good it would do to her by stepping on this foot.

Ai Zhixin was aggrieved here, and his mother was not happy.

"What the second sister said is that Xiaoxin is still a little younger, why don't you let Xiaoyi go to the mainland next time! Xiaoyi also met the Guan brothers when he was a child, and the Guan brothers missed the old love, so they would definitely be able to give him a little more face. ”

"Do we need two minions to save face? Fourth sister, you are going back more and more,"

The eldest lady said angrily: "Besides, you know that Xiaoyi is now in charge of the family's business and is very busy, but now you let him go back to the mainland, what is your intention in coming up with this idea?" ”

"What can I do! Then you think Xiaoxin can't do it, and you don't let Xiaoyi go, so who do you want to go? Let Ash go? Let Xiaoli go? Or let the master go back in person? ”

"Hmph~"

The second lady faced the fourth lady's hidden needle, and she didn't move at all, but just snorted coldly: "Do you still have to worry about this?" The master will arrange it himself, you just listen. ”

“.”

The fourth lady wanted to fight a few more words, but when she saw Lord Belle's eyes forcing her, she immediately shut up.

In the free world of the lighthouse, Lord Belle can make this big family into a feudal family, and the power of it can be imagined.

However, Lord Belle did not reproach the fourth lady, but asked everyone in the living room: "Which of you is willing to go to the mainland and get the family's treasure back?" ”

“.”

No one squeaked, and none dared to do anything.

"Ash, will you go?"

"Amma, I'm talking to those Nanbang people about a business, and I really can't leave"

"What about the little gift?"

"Amma, the doctor suspects I have a tumor in my stomach and I am awaiting a follow-up examination recently."

All said they didn't have time to go back to the mainland.

In the past two years, they have not inquired about the situation in the mainland, and they have even taken the initiative to contact a number of people who have come from the mainland to study and want to explore the real situation in the mainland.

Judging from various reports and news, the changes in the mainland are great, but the performance of those international students has made these people who are struggling in the lighthouse have a strong sense of superiority.

The vast majority of international students are full of amazement at the standard of living at the lighthouse, and many of them have expressed their desire to stay at the lighthouse.

From this point of view, the mainland is far inferior to the lighthouse, and in the lighthouse, they still have a profit, even if they lie down, they can eat bread.

Only marginal people like Ai Zhixin, who can hardly enjoy the benefits of their families, would take a huge risk to go back and have a chance!

"Oh, since you don't have time to go, then."

Lord Belle looked at everyone and said lightly: "In the future, the affairs of the mainland will be in charge of Xiaoxin, no one but me will reach out, and whoever stretches out his hand will break anyone's claws." ”

“.”

"Master, this is not appropriate, is it? House rules"

"Do you have the final say on this rule?"

The eldest lady just said half a sentence, and was coldly scolded by her husband, and immediately bowed her head and didn't dare to speak, although she is now in charge of the family's financial power, but the third sister and the fourth sister can replace her at any time.

"There is no such thing as a useful one, if Xiaoren is still there, do I still need to worry about this?"

Lord Belle stood up and pointed to Tang Sancai on the coffee table: "Xiaoxin, take this and follow me to the study." ”

The excited Ai Zhixin felt his hands tremble when he picked up Tang Sancai, he looked back at his mother, nodded vigorously, and followed his father out of the living room.

The fourth lady even burst into tears with excitement.

In this family with extremely strict rules, the person who can follow Lord Belle into the study is treated as a "sister-in-law", and she, the fourth lady, is not qualified.

And on the body of this two women, there is a complex gaze of everyone mixed with jealousy, envy, and resentment.

Moths are like this, when they need to come forward, they all shrink their heads for fear of danger,

But when I saw a ruthless pen jumping out to eat the fat meat, I regretted why I wasn't brave just now, and let the pen rob the fat that should have belonged to me.

Entering the study, Lord Belle asked Ai Zhixin to sit down, and then calmly looked into his eyes and said, "Tell me carefully what happened with the Guan family brothers, tell the truth, don't be smart." ”

“.”

The excited Ai Zhixin was forced by his father's eyes, and his heart suddenly slammed, and the words that he had prepared many days in advance suddenly seemed to be unable to remember.

"Amma, after I arrived in the capital, the Guan brothers were very enthusiastic to me at first, but then there was a conflict. It was only when I photographed the lighthouse passport that it shook them."

Unconsciously, Ai Zhixin told the truth in his heart, and only his own little ninety-nine did not dare to confide.

"According to what you say, the Guan family brothers have their own ideas, and they will not return the things to us smoothly."

After listening to this, Lord Belle guessed the truth with certainty, and then he asked Ai Zhixin: "Have you checked out who we need to go to in order to seize the opportunity in the general trend of reform and opening up in the mainland?" ”

"To whom to defect?"

Ai Zhixin was a little anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of an answer.

The education that their family received since childhood was to go to a thigh before they could be powerful.

In the past, he defected to the Fusang people and served as a prestige for many years, but now he wants to return to the mainland for development, who do he want to turn to?

Facing his father's oppressive eyes, Ai Zhixin suddenly had an idea and said: "Amma, the situation in the mainland is different from before.

They now welcome people like us to go back, but only if we go back and invest, as long as we have foreign exchange, we can get extraordinary treatment, and we can have access to high-level people."

Lord Belle narrowed his eyes and said, "Then how much do you have to invest to reach high-level people?" ”

Ai Zhixin swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "At least three and a half million dollars, one million dollars is the safest." ”

Lord Belle smiled and said, "One million dollars, it's not a small number!" ”

Ai Zhixin looked at his father and whispered, "Ama, this Tang Sancai should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" I saw an antique from the Tang Dynasty at Sotheby's that sold for millions of dollars. ”

Lord Belle nodded, and said with a playful expression: "That's right, if this Tang Sancai is real, it must be worth 1.8 million, but it's fake!" ”

Ai Zhixin was so frightened that he jumped up directly: "What? Is this fake? But I've found someone to see it! Amma, this. I don't know! ”

Lord Belle waved his hand to let his son sit down, and then said: "You don't have to be nervous, this thing is well done, if it weren't for me, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to see it, and it can't be counted as your fault." ”

"But. . . But what about that? The Guan brothers really deserve to be killed. ”

Ai Zhixin was about to die of anger, mainly because this Tang Sancai was fake, so could the copper incense burner he had hidden be real?

But Lord Belle said as if he had nothing to do: "Let's talk about it later, now we will discuss and let you go back to be an investor, be careful can you do it with confidence?" ”

Ai Zhixin was stunned for a long time before he said: "Amma, I have the confidence to do a good job, but we don't have that much capital!" ”

"Money? Naturally, someone came out! ”
