Chapter 22

Awakened by the knock on the door in the mist, Yi Xiao opened his eyes and reacted for two seconds, then turned his head away and fell asleep again.

But the sound of knocking on the door was persistent, and Yi Xiao was so irritable that he had to cover his head with the pillow, and then muttered: "There are all keys, so you can just come in by yourself."

However, after a few seconds, Yi Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "It's Anhua!" The thought flashed out suddenly, it must be, Zhou Jinyu would open the door by herself with the key, so the only one who can come here now Only Anwar.

Almost running, Yi Xiao rushed to the living room. He didn't even care about his embarrassment, so he rushed to the door and opened it vigorously. However, his smile froze the moment he opened the door, and was replaced by infinite disappointment. Finally, he called out as if he had come to his senses, uncle.

An extraordinary man in his 40s looked at Yi Xiao, as if confirming whether the person in front of him was his nephew who always valued appearance and appearance, and then blurted out: "What are you doing at home? Why..." He I wanted to ask why I was so sloppy, but in the end I held back and said, "It's been knocking for almost 10 minutes. Are you sleeping in broad daylight?"

Yi Xiao turned and entered the door in silence, the handsome middle-aged man at the door could only sigh and follow in, and closed the door behind him.

Knowing that he must not look very good now, Yi Xiao immediately asked listlessly as he entered the bathroom: "Why did you come here?"

The man snorted and said, "I wanted to contact you first. I called you for a few days and you answered it. I had no choice but to call Zhou Jinyu for the address." The man looked around at the rather Small house, curiously asked: "Why do you live in such a small place? It's not close to your company."

The man's name is Qin Xuan. He is the second son of the Qin family and the only boy in the Qin family. Since Yi Xiao's mother passed away, he has become the only child of Qin Chuhan. Even if he is a well-known figure in the capital circle since he was young, it is not that he has not played crazy, but since he got married, he has suddenly settled down, probably because of the influence of his father. He often said to others, "Since you are a man, Married is of course to be good to the family, otherwise what is the point of marriage?" Therefore, after getting married, you will restrain your mind, and you and your wife can be regarded as a model of affection.

I don't know if Yi Xiao didn't hear him taking a shower, or he didn't want to answer his question at all. Seeing that the eldest grandson of the Qin family who was being held up by everyone was silent, he continued to ask.

Hearing the rattling sound of the bathroom, Qin Xuan couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the wine bottles on the table. Because Yi Xiao's father was away all the year round, he stayed in the Qin's house a lot when he was a child, and was spoiled by the whole family for a while. The little overlord who is not afraid of anything, only occasionally has someone to clean him up after his father returns from the army.During those days in the Qin family, Qin Xuan always thought it was Yi Xiao's happiest childhood, but from the day his sister passed away, the innocent smile disappeared from Yi Xiao's face, not only that, since then Yi Xiao also seldom returned to Qin's house, even in a house with only a nanny, he was more willing to return to the army compound.

And when Yi Xiao grew up, when it was time to participate in the Qin family's business, he refused without hesitation, because he was busy with the small company of the Zhou family boy. Qin Xuan knew that the reason why Yi Xiao avoided it so much The reason why he touches the family business is because the child has a heart knot since he was a child. He doesn't want to touch everything about what his mother gave him. It seems that if it wasn't for the good relationship with his father and himself when he was in the Qin family, Yi Xiao could even cut off all contact with the Qin family.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the purpose of coming here today, Qin Xuan not only frowned, if it wasn't for Qin's being on the verge of life and death, he would be unwilling to make such a bad move. He has always regarded Yi Xiao as his own son, and he doesn't want Yi Xiao to be pushed out like a bargaining chip, but on the other hand, his father is getting old, and the Qin family is his most cherished child. After everything, Qin Xuan couldn't bear to see Qin's downfall or even collapse when his father was old.So what to do?After weighing for a long time, Qin Xuan still decided to come to Yi Xiao's place and give it a try.

After Yi Xiao came out of the bathroom with wet drops hanging from his head, Qin Xuan felt that the boy who was so handsome had returned. It was no wonder that someone wanted him by name.

"I heard from Zhou Jinyu that you haven't been to the company for more than a week. What's the matter?" Although Qin Xuan came with a purpose, he really cared about Yi Xiao. Seeing that the handsome boy came back, But there was always a lingering melancholy on his face, and Qin Xuan couldn't help feeling worried.

Yi Xiao hasn't told his family about the matter with Anhua. Although he always thought it was a matter of time before, but now he can't tell his uncle that the person I like is breaking up with me now, so Anhua can't be upset. Once appearing in front of family members is a negative image, so Yi Xiao lit a cigarette and pretended to deal with it casually: "It's okay, I'm a little tired these days, rest at home for a few days."

"Is there any difficulty? Do you need my help?" Although the Qin family is in crisis, as long as this elder nephew has something to do, Qin Xuan will do everything he can to help.

"It's nothing, the company has Zhou Jinyu watching over there, and everything is operating normally," Yi Xiao added, afraid that his uncle might be worried, "It's really all right."

Qin Xuan also lit a cigarette, thinking in his heart, since he was a child, he didn't want to borrow the Qin family's strength, even if he had something to do, he probably wouldn't say anything.

"How is grandpa?" Yi Xiao asked with concern, it was an old man who treated him sincerely.

"...It's all good," Qin Xuan hesitated before adding, "It's just that I've been talking about your grandma recently." He lowered his head and smiled and said, "It's said that old children are really old. At that time, all the photos were taken out, and people made them into electronic versions. They were afraid that they would be lost by accident one day, but how could they be lost? Even if the Qin family's house was burned down, they could only bring one thing out. And those photo albums too."

Thinking that he hadn't been to Qin's house for a long time, Yi Xiao felt a little sorry, so he said: "I'll go back to see grandpa these few days, I haven't been back for a while."

Seeing Qin Xuanqian sitting there without speaking, Yi Xiao felt that it was not as simple as his brother-in-law just coming to see how he was doing, so he turned to the man he had admired since he was a child and said, "Little brother, is there something wrong with you today?" Son?"

Twirling the still burning cigarette butt with his fingertips, Qin Xuan regretted it a little. It was too shameless for an elder to do this. If it was his own career, he would rather have the jade broken, and he would not make such a compromise attempt, but he I really can't bear to experience this for my father, who is already in his old age. The death of my mother a few years ago was a heavy blow to my father. If I recall it earlier, 20 years ago, my sister's death would be a fatal injury to my parents. After all his life, he had been taking care of the hard-working old man in this family and ended up like this, so he made up his mind. After Qin Xuan stubbed out the cigarette butt, he looked at Yi Xiao and asked, "Yi Xiao, do you have any friends now?"

Yi Xiao was speechless when asked this sentence, how could it be such a coincidence, if his uncle came here a few days ago, he would tell his uncle if he was excited, that he has found someone he likes, that person in this life is not Wrong... But now, what should he say?The feeling of liking has not changed, it's just that the person said he didn't want him anymore.

Yi Xiao frowned unconsciously, took another deep breath of his cigarette, and then said hesitantly: "Yes." He couldn't say the second half of the sentence, but now that person unilaterally proposed to break up with him.

But after finishing speaking, Yi Xiao suddenly realized that my uncle must not just ask this question here, so he turned his head and asked: "What's the matter, uncle? Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Then... are you on a good relationship?"

Yi Xiao was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Compared with the answer itself, Qin Xuan's question was too strange, so Yi Xiao asked: "What's the matter?"

In front of the elbows propped on the knees, two thick palms rubbed together inadvertently. After a while, Qin Xuan made up his mind and said: "Yi Xiao, if you have a good enough relationship and trust each other, can you temporarily help Qin Xuan?" Do you do me a favor?"

The question was unclear, so Yi Xiao frowned and said, "Uncle, it's not your character to hesitate, so just tell me what's going on, is something wrong with the Qin family?"

Seeing that he had been noticed, Qin Xuan didn't hide it. Finally, he nodded heavily and said, "The Qin family is in crisis now, it's very serious."

"what happened?"

"Qin invested in a lot of real estate projects in the early years. Although they have been restrained a lot in recent years, many of the funds have not been recovered, so other industries that have been dragged down have not flowed into cash for revitalization. This is the case with entities. Only when money is invested can it be revitalized and rolled over. In the past few years, the Qin family has been well-off outside, and has actually accumulated a lot of foreign debts, and last year, a new Silicon Valley project that was desperately invested..." Qin Xuan finally said with difficulty: "It failed."

Because every time I went to the Qin family to visit my grandfather and uncle, the two never reported good news but not bad news. Although Yi Xiao did not participate in family affairs, he had never heard of any signs of crisis in the Qin family, so he always thought that the Qin family was stable. This time, I was surprised to hear that the Qin family had a lot of debts and failures, but after settling down, Yi Xiao immediately said seriously: "Uncle, Zhou Jinyu and I each have half of the shares in the company, and I can pledge all of them to the bank." , I still have some accounts and real estate, I can take them out for Qin's emergency, I will bring a lawyer to Qin's tomorrow to have a look, you and grandpa don't worry."

Hearing Yi Xiao, who never wanted to take advantage of the Qin family, said this, the man in his 40s had tears in his eyes for a moment, but he immediately calmed himself down and lit another cigarette and took two puffs before saying: " The ship was in trouble and turned around, I probably know how much you have in hand, it is not enough to support the Qin family until the funds are returned."

"As much as I can make up, if it is not enough, I will borrow some from some brothers."

Qin Xuan hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Actually, Yi Xiao, there is a way to save the Qin family."

Sensitive to catch something, Yi Xiao looked at his uncle and asked: "What method?"

"Does Li Fengmin know? The boss of HSBC Group, he can provide us with funds now, but there is a request..." Qin Xuan lowered his eyes, as if looking at the dignity at his feet, and said: "He wants you to marry him For the daughter who is already pregnant, the two-year period is for you to divorce after the child grows up, but now he needs to tell the whole capital that his daughter is not conceived out of wedlock, and that his grandson has a father." Finally, he said it out.

Yi Xiao stood there in a daze like a sculpture. He didn't know there was such an absurd reason in the world, so he asked, "Uncle, you don't know anything about me, do you? Does the Li family know that I like men?"

"..." Qin Xuan hesitated for a while before saying: "I didn't ask, but since you didn't deliberately hide it, I guess he knows something, so I think, maybe the more this is the case, the more at ease he will be, so give me The two-year deadline has been set, and it is probably hoped that his daughter will find someone she likes again within the next two years, and the Li family only contacted me about this matter, your grandfather doesn't know about it."

After a pause, Qin Xuan continued: "Yi Xiao, I'm quite contemptible like this. To be honest, I'm sick of myself. If your grandfather dared to use this method to make me compromise and choose a marriage arranged by him , I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t bring the Qin family upside down, but..." Qin Xuan was very forbearing, but the painful and entangled emotions still escaped from his eyes: "I don’t want anything, it doesn’t matter, I’m so skinny A camel is bigger than a horse, the Qin family won't starve to death, I'm not old, there are always opportunities to start over, but I can't see your grandfather like this..."

Qin Xuan frowned, as if trying to force some emotions back, and then slowly said: "This old man is very nostalgic. He looks at your grandma's photo every day and wipes it again and again. Every day, your grandma's photo must be put on the table. You can only eat when your seats and bowls and chopsticks are set... At this age, I arrive at the company at 8:[-] every day, and there has never been a day when I say I don’t want to go. He has lived too seriously in his life, and I really can’t bear it.”

After exhaling, Qin Xuan allowed himself to calm down before continuing: "Yi Xiao, I'm here to ask what you mean, because it's only two years, if you and your friend have a good enough relationship, can you be with him?" Discuss it, I didn't say you two are going to break up, as long as you don't... if you don't show it outside, the Li family probably won't say anything, because to put it bluntly, it's a contract marriage, and two years is enough for the Qin family to breathe. The foundation of the Qin family must be able to start all over again."

Yi Xiao stared at the desktop for a long time. He heard and understood every word that his uncle said. In fact, before meeting An Hua, Yi Xiao always had a disdainful attitude towards marriage. Maybe it was because his parents' love was too much. Failure, he never believed that short-lived hormones can support the feelings and bonds of a lifetime, so if Anhua didn't show up, what's wrong with helping Qin at this time?He and Zhou Jinyu's company, how much his uncle and grandfather have helped secretly, he is not stupid, how could he not know at all, the company's credit has been constantly inquired by people, not because of Qin's support, who would come They are a small and worthless company with a loan.Although he has been hiding, he has been silently benefiting from the kindness of the Qin family. He has already planned in his heart that if he can help the Qin family one day, he must have no hesitation.

But now that he has Anhua, everything is different, not to mention that now is the time of emotional crisis, even when the two are getting along well, he also knows that Anhua is a person who can't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes, and he secretly acts as Anhua. There is still a possibility of Hua's underground lover, but if it is the other way around, he will definitely lose Chen Anhua for the rest of his life without even thinking about it.

He knew more or less what happened to my uncle when he was young. This tough guy in his bones was not difficult to a certain extent, and he would never bow his head to beg him for such a thing, but he was more afraid of losing Chen Anhua alone than losing the whole world.

Although it took a long time to answer, Yi Xiao was so firm in his heart that there was only one answer, and finally said: "Uncle, I have someone I like very much now, this person is... very important to me, I can't I took the risk of losing him to do this, so I'm sorry, I can't help with this, I hope you can understand."

As if expecting this answer, Qin Xuan has always known Yi Xiao's stubbornness, but if he doesn't give it a try, he will be in vain. Qin Xuan finally nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "That kid is very lucky."

Yi Xiao did give a wry smile in his heart, and then turned to say: "But brother-in-law, I will still bring a lawyer to the Qin family tomorrow. The assets under my name will be pledged, and it will definitely help the Qin family to support it. Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

It is impossible to gamble with everything about this nephew. Although Qin Xuan has already rejected it in his heart, he still nodded comfortingly and said to Yi Xiao: "Let's talk about it, but it's not that far. When the day really comes, I will talk to you again." carry."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, "Okay, don't worry too much. It's really bad, but it's not that bad. If some project funds come back in a few days, it can take a while."

Although Qin Xuan said so, Yi Xiao knew that these were just words of comfort to him, not that his uncle would never come to him if he was forced into a desperate situation, which also made Yi Xiao feel even more uncomfortable.

When sending the person to the door, Qin Xuan suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Why didn't you take him home to have a look at such a person earlier? Your grandfather is still talking about it. What's his name?"

A evasive look flickered across Yi Xiao's face, but immediately he tried to calm himself and smiled and replied: "Chen Anhua, he is a doctor."
