How To Say I Love You

Chapter 1 Homecoming

Xiao Jiashu has just returned to China, and now he is sitting in his living room. A few servants are hiding in the stairwell and pointing at him. They don't need to guess what they are talking about. It is nothing more than "Why did the second young master come back? Well, when you come back, you will only argue with the elder and younger, and you will make a lot of troubles" and so on.

yes?Why do you want to come back?Xiao Jiashu also asked himself, and then pulled the corners of his lips lonely.A wanderer always wants to go home, this is his home, why can't he come back?

The quarrel was still going on upstairs, it was his father and mother.I haven't seen her for a few years, but my father has aged a lot, his temple hair has turned gray, and his voice has become hoarse; my mother is still the same as before, with smooth skin, delicate eyebrows, and gentle temperament. Time has never left her body trace.Right now, she is asking angrily, "Why can't I arrange a position for Xiaoshu? The juniors in the second and third bedrooms can enter the Xiao family to take up important positions without graduation. Why can't Xiaoshu? He is a top student of Wharton Business School, isn't it? Can't compare to his cousins ​​who graduated from ordinary colleges or even dropped out?"

Xiao's father said helplessly, "It's not a question of academic qualifications. Dad disagrees, and no one can enter Xiao's casually. Dad promised to give Xiaoshu 5% of the shares. Isn't that enough? He doesn't have to do anything. You can live comfortably for a lifetime by taking dividends.”

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Jiashu's straight lips trembled slightly.He doesn't lack that share, and he doesn't want to spend his life doing nothing.In his opinion, that is not called comfort, but mediocrity.He is a descendant of the Xiao family, why can't he contribute to the family?

Xiao's mother was going crazy, feeling that she couldn't communicate with her husband no matter what, she couldn't help but screamed, "Isn't 5% of the shares what Xiaoshu deserves? Your father also gave 5% to the second and third bedrooms a few days ago. % of the shares, that is the share that the descendants of the Xiao family should have, and they have to be given. Why is it an extra favor to come to Xiaoshu? He is not your son, not your father's grandson? He is me and The bastard in other people's life? Xiao Qijie, you can't be so partial, you only see Dingbang in your eyes, and don't take Xiaoshu seriously at all! He studied so hard just to help you and help him after graduation Brother. He is a good boy, you can't treat him like this!"

"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about! He is my son, of course I will take care of him. If you don't enter Xiao's, you are partial? He has 5% of the shares without doing anything. Who wouldn't be envious if he said it? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you are trying to use him to fight for a share of the family property, you are doing it for yourself! When we got married, we signed a prenuptial property agreement, you said you would not covet a penny of the Xiao family, did you mean that Have you forgotten? If you are not willing to tell Dad yourself, don't mess around here!"

Xiao's mother was furious and screamed, "Xiao Qijie, you bastard! I did sign a prenuptial property agreement back then. It's true that I didn't marry you for your money. But I am me, Xiaoshu is Xiaoshu , I don’t want any of your Xiao family, but Xiaoshu is your son, he deserves what belongs to him! You can’t throw him abroad and leave him alone, he is a part of this family!” There was a whimpering cry, full of grief and helplessness.

Xiao Jiashu has no expression at all, sitting on the sofa like a statue.The father was married twice, and had a wife before the mother, who died of stomach cancer. The two met half a year after the ex-wife passed away. There was no derailment in marriage, and there was no mistress. However, due to the special occupation of the mother, others would They refused to believe her innocence, and always thought that she deliberately seduced her father, and then took advantage of the power of the Xiao family to ascend to power.And Mr. Xiao, the real ruler of the Xiao family, misunderstood his mother deeply, and doted on the eldest grandson of his original spouse, so he tried his best to suppress the mother and son.

Xiao Jiashu originally thought that his grandpa would change his mind if he was admitted to Wharton Business School and graduated with honors, but now it seems like wishful thinking.Mr. Xiao's temperament is very stubborn. If he likes someone, he can't wait to spend his heart and soul, but if he hates someone, even just looking at him is too much.Xiao Jiashu's half-brother Xiao Dingbang is the favored one, while he himself is superfluous.

The quarrel upstairs came to an end, and only the mother's faint crying could be heard; the father's anger also disappeared, and his voice became much softer, as if he was apologizing.As the eldest son of the Xiao family, he was supposed to take on the important task of setting up the family, but he had no choice but to be limited in ability, indecisive and lacking in courage, so the old man surpassed him and chose the eldest grandson Xiao Dingbang to inherit the family business.Today's Xiao family is decided by two people, and others have no right to speak.The old man didn't let Xiao Jiashu enter the Xiao family because he didn't like his background, and he was afraid that his brothers would fight against him.

Xiao Dingbang's attitude towards the mother and son was not warm, he just nodded when he saw it, and he would not speak up for Xiao Jiashu.So the previous question came again, why should I go back to China?Why did you give up your favorite major and study business administration instead?Is the sweat and effort I have paid so in vain?Xiao Jiashu slowly leaned his head on the back of the chair with an indescribably dazed expression.

Just at this moment, Xiao Dingbang came in with a briefcase, and the servants who had been lukewarm to Er Shao immediately greeted him, one helped to carry the bag, one helped to take off his coat, and the other took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, Respectfully placed at the feet of the eldest and youngest, no one knows better than them who is the real master of the Xiao family.

"Brother, you're back." Xiao Jiashu stood up immediately, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.He still has great respect for this elder brother. He is capable and courageous. He has expanded Xiao's business by more than two times within a few years of taking office. There is no one more suitable than him to be the helm of Xiao's Pharmaceutical Group.He is a born leader.Xiao Jiashu never thought of competing with his elder brother for anything, he just wanted to make his grandfather and father proud of him, and at the same time he wanted to share his worries for his elder brother.How about an old saying?Oh, by the way, let the brothers work together to break the gold.

But Xiao Dingbang doesn't seem to think so.He froze for a moment, then nodded his head indifferently, his eyebrows frowned unavoidably when he heard the crying from upstairs.But he didn't say anything, he didn't express his welcome for his younger brother's return, nor cared about the quarrel between his parents, he turned around and went up to the second floor.

Seeing his tall and straight background disappearing at the corner of the stairs, Xiao Jiashu's slightly joyful eyes dimmed.The servants standing in the corner lowered their heads, but exchanged contemptuous glances at each other.A mistress is a mistress, and an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child, even if he enters the room, he won't be able to please him.There are still people in the Xiao family who understand, as long as Mr. Xiao and the youngest don't let go, the youngest will never get ahead.

Feeling the atmosphere full of oppression and exclusion, Xiao Jiashu was extremely sad. For a moment, he really wanted to buy a ticket back to the United States immediately and never come back again, but thinking of his mother upstairs, he forcibly endured it .What should mother do if she left by herself?The relationship between her and her father seemed to be getting worse and worse. Her father's groundless suspicion was like a sharp knife, cutting her mother's body with bruises, and she could have lived better...

Once again, Xiao Jiashu felt sorry for his weakness. He couldn't do anything, let alone help his mother.Frustrated, Xiao's mother's eyes were red, but she had an elegant and gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened, "Xiaoshu, hurry up and take a bath and change a set of clothes. Go to the old house to have dinner with your grandpa."

Even if he knew that it was his grandfather's decision not to enter the Xiao family, Xiao Jiashu couldn't resist.If he reveals the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, grandpa will be furious, and then turn his anger on his mother, using the harshest words to abuse his mother wantonly in front of his uncle and aunt.He despises actors, thinking they are low-class things.

Xiao Jiashu was full of resistance, but he stood up obediently, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Xue Miao patted her son's head with a gentle smile, but tears flashed in her eyes.She didn't know if it was right or wrong to send her son to go abroad, if it was right or wrong to encourage him to change his studies in business administration, or even if it was right or wrong to marry Xiao Qijie back then?But she knew that she had done the right thing, which was to bring her son into this world.He is her best gift, the warmest comfort.

The family of four quickly packed up and went to the old house.Surrounded by his children and grandchildren, Mr. Xiao sat in the main seat. He was laughing loudly when he saw Xiao Jiashu who entered the door, his face immediately turned cold, "What are you wearing? How is it so tattered?" He raised his hand. Picking up his cane, he pointed at his grandson's pants.

Xiao Jiashu looked down at his ripped jeans, question marks all over his face.This is a new model from ACNESTUDIO this year. It looks trendy and cool when you wear it. It makes your legs look longer and straighter. Don’t look too handsome with a white T. How can it become tattered?He was about to explain a few words to his grandfather, when he heard the calm voice of his eldest brother from behind, "Grandpa, I have a few questions to discuss with you about the acquisition of Sunshine Pharmaceuticals."

Mr. Xiao's expression softened immediately, and he raised his hand and said, "Go, let's talk in the study. Zhao Ying, let the chef start cooking."

"Hey, I'll let them do it now." Zhao Ying agreed with a smile.She is the wife of Xiao's second child. She comes from a rich family and is smart and capable. She is highly valued by the old man, and almost all family affairs are left to her.It's a pity that the few sons she gave birth to are not up to the mark, and their ability is not as good as that of Xiao Dingbang, otherwise it is uncertain who is the leader of the Xiao family.She was particularly jealous of Xiao Dingbang, but she couldn't provoke him, so she had to vent her anger on Xiao Jiashu's mother and son, always speaking with thorns, and poking at the most painful places.

Xiao Jiashu didn't like the two uncles and aunts very much, but if he didn't come to the old house, he would be reprimanded by his grandfather for being unruly, not filial, being an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, etc., so he had to come.The Xiao family is a huge prison for him and for his mother...
