Lanfu Palace is located on the bank of the ancient Huai River, opposite the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty that has stood for hundreds of years, to this day, the ancient city wall is still majestic, it is a hot summer, and the mottled ancient city wall is crawling with green vines. As far as the eye can see, it is lush and green, adding a bit of coolness to this hot summer.

A beautiful woman in her twenties sits in an open-air pavilion built along the ancient Huai River in Lanfu Palace, in a square Chinese style, with fine silk ribbons hanging from the pavilion to keep the sunlight out. Surrounded by the ancient Huai River, only a marble-paved path leads to the shore, making this small pavilion a quiet and cool place under the scorching sun.

In the pavilion is a soft couch made of antique mahogany, the woman's hand is placed with a glass of blue, blue, green and green non-alcoholic drinks, the ice cubes in it are crystal clear, the woman's slender plain hand picks up the wine glass, puts it on the lips and takes a sip, there are thousands of styles.

The phone next to her couch sounded with slow music, and the woman picked up the phone, glanced at it, and slid away to answer it.

"Have you seen your fiancé, the eldest young master?" was also a woman on the phone, and as soon as she spoke, she went straight to the point.

The woman in the pavilion was naturally Xia Miaoran, and she came here after sending Xu Bansheng back to the Xu family. Lanfu Palace is a resort hotel's restaurant and afternoon tea bar, this resort hotel in the middle of the city but in a quiet environment, is one of Xia Miaoran's family properties.

"Not long after he was sent home, it is estimated that the Xu family is lively now. Xia Miaoran's voice did not have any emotional color, which was similar to her previous performance.

The woman on the phone also seemed to notice something, and asked, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you didn't mention the divorce to him?"

"The marriage contract made by the two families twenty years ago, how can it be so easy to cancel, I just went to test it. ”

The woman on the phone giggled: "Giggles, there is something wrong with this tone, what's the matter, could it be that the eldest young master's heavenly posture touched the heart of our Miss Xia, this big summer, how do I feel that someone is emotional?"

Xia Miaoran's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she hurriedly explained: "There was a little accident, and it was not good to mention this to him for a while." But seriously, that eldest young master was really unexpected by me, and I can't tell, in short, it's different from what we figured out before. ”

"Haha, I said a long time ago, after all, he is the eldest young master of the Xu family, even if it is genetic, he can't really be like a mountain villager. I see, you can't get out of this marriage!"

Xia Miaoran was also slightly surprised, and whispered: "Anyway, he is only eighteen years old, and if he wants to get married, he must at least graduate from college." I had plenty of time to do it slowly, and I would graduate in two years, and when the time came, I would have to think about finding a school in Europe, two places apart, and thinking about it. ”

"Anyway, you've now dismissed the idea of getting married, and you don't need to explain. Hehe, I'm a little interested in this eldest young master, and it turned out that just one side made our Miss Xia move her heart, I have to see it. ”

Xia Miaoran frowned, as if thinking about something, and then said slowly: "He...... How to say it, there is a very peculiar thing in my body, I can't say it well, it's just different from ordinary people. I'm curious about him now, and I'd like to observe him for a while. ”

The woman on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Okay, I already understand, anyway, you just won't get out of the marriage." That's fine, we can be concubines, kiss and kiss. ”

"Damn me! I'm just curious, you know, I hate that kind of old-fashioned political marriage the most. Xia Miaoran blushed, and the words of the woman on the other end of the phone obviously hit a place deep in her heart.

"Where are you now? The eldest young master is back, Zhongqian has to eat at home tonight, I'll go find you." The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to have some grief in her voice.

Xia Miaoran finally seized the opportunity to take a small revenge, and immediately complained: "The cousins who grew up together since childhood are no match for the strength of a man. If Xu Zhongqian hadn't had to stay at home today, I'm afraid you, Miss Kong, wouldn't have had time to entertain me, right? Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you had tea and chatted with me?"

"Why! Didn't we chat together last night!" Kong Peili is Xia Miaoran's cousin, and she also blushed at the moment, but her voice of rebuttal seemed so unconfident.

"It was a WeChat video last night, can it be the same?" may also feel that Kong Peili is really embarrassed, Xia Miaoran has already retaliated, so she said: "I'm in Lanfu Palace, come here." It happens to take a bath and do a spa here at night. ”

Throwing the phone aside, Xia Miaoran opened her eyes and looked at the ancient city wall on the other side through the silk silk outside the pavilion.

The white clouds in the sky are swimming leisurely, like free fish in the sea, Xia Miaoran whispered to herself: Do people really have such a thing as fate? So, Xu Bansheng, can you calculate, do I have to marry you?

The corners of Xia Miaoran's mouth raised a sly smile.

Putting down the phone in his hand, Xu Zhongqian's face was a little unsightly.

The call was from his girlfriend Kong Peili, who said that Xia Miaoran changed her mind after meeting Xu Bansheng and did not propose to him to withdraw from the marriage.

Xia Miaoran has never been a rich girl who is too obedient, she has her own opinions. Unlike other children of rich families, almost everything Xia Miaoran did when she was a child, and she made her own decisions, unlike other children of the family, which was a path arranged by the family.

Not to mention studying, since junior high school, Xia Miaoran has not listened to any arrangements from her family, but has chosen a path to study according to her own plan. For a girl like her, at what age she learns piano, at what age she learns tennis, and so on, there are actually strict steps. But Xia Miaoran was different, when she caught Zhou, she gave up all the good wishes prepared by her family, and actually grabbed a set of model locomotives that only boys could like. And on her sixth birthday, in the face of the handmade Steinway antique piano that cost as much as one million, she only angrily tapped the black and white keys on the top a few times, and then resolutely grabbed the guitar that was only used for decoration.

When she was a freshman, she opened a bar called Don Quixote near the school, and at first she did not hesitate to take on the role of a bar singer in person in order to attract business. Whether it is her appearance or her singing voice, she has won a loyal fan, and now the bar called Don Quixote is one of the hottest bars in Wudong City.

Such a girl, who cannot be said to be deviant, but is rebellious enough, is naturally extremely dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by her family when she was born. In the Xia family alone, she mentioned countless times that she wanted to dissolve the marriage contract with Xu Bansheng, and among her peers, she even said conclusively that she would never accept her family's arrangement.

Judging from Xia Miaoran's consistent behavior, when she goes to the airport today, she will definitely propose to Xu Bansheng to dissolve the marriage contract, regardless of whether she can succeed or not, this will definitely make a great gap between Xu Xia's two families. Xu Zhongqian believes that with Xia Miaoran's temperament, as long as she speaks, this matter may be irreparable, and it will even be out of control because of the opposition of the two families.

But now, Xia Miaoran didn't even mention this to Xu Bansheng, and even, listening to Kong Peili's words, she seemed to have a good impression of Xu Bansheng, which was a result that Xu Zhongqian never wanted to see.

"Xu Bansheng, my good brother, I want to see what kind of charm you have that can make Xia Miaoran change her mind so quickly. ”

Xu Zhongqian put down the cigar in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, walked out of the door, and walked towards the villa where his grandfather lived.

At the door, someone had already pushed open the door, and Xu Zhongqian had just stepped on the steps when he heard a noisy sound in the house.

Xu Zhongqian is the eldest son of the second son of the Xu family, according to age, he is the eldest grandson of the Xu family, but Xu Ruxuan, that is, Xu Zhongqian's uncle, is the most important person in the Xu family. This almost means that with the return of Xu Bansheng, the eldest son of the long house, he is the most important training object of the third generation of the Xu family, and no matter how much Xu Zhongqian has made, he will inevitably become the second tier consideration below Xu Bansheng.

As a twenty-five-year-old Xu Dashao, who has served his family business for more than two years and has made outstanding achievements, it is really not a wonderful thing that he suddenly has a cousin who is obviously the first in line to the throne.

Of course, all this can only be buried deep in the heart, and it cannot be revealed on the surface.

The moment before entering the door, Xu Zhongqian's face was still gloomy, but when his left foot just crossed the threshold, his face had been replaced by a gentle and humble smile, and the sun was shining, even more dazzling than the sunset outside the door behind him.

Seeing his son enter the door, Xu Ruzhi immediately stretched out his hand to summon.

"Zhongqian, why did you come? Your brother has been back for a long time!" Xu Ruzhi also seemed to deliberately emphasize the word "younger brother", intending to remind everyone in the Xu family that if the third generation of the eldest grandson of the Xu family is concerned, it must be Xu Zhongqian, even if he himself is the second.

The rich family, no member is given for nothing, anyone is a human spirit-like existence, Xu Ruzhi emphasized this, everyone naturally understands what he is trying to do. But at such a moment, no one will make these clear, among them, there are naturally those who support Xu Ruxuan in the long room, and there will inevitably be those who support Xu Ruxuan in the second room.

Those who support Xu Ruxuan believe that the order of the young and the old cannot be abolished, and the Xu family's huge industry, it is the boss Xu Ruxuan who has made the greatest contribution over the years. Even though Xu Zhongqian is indeed very good, even if it is to repay Xu Ruxuan, the successor of the third generation should be his son.

And those who support Xu Ruzhi are those who think that Xu Zhongqian is already a third-generation leader who can take on heavy responsibilities, not to mention that it will take at least four or five years for Xu Bansheng to take over, just because he has been in the mountains for eighteen years, the education he received is almost destined for him to be difficult to afford the heavy responsibility of the head of the Xu family.

For a while, just because of Xu Ruzhi's simple two words, the Xu family already had their own hearts.
