[Shanshan is here] Please give me more advice for the rest of my life

I saw Mr. Xiao in the dining room. He was looking at the pot of bluegrass that Xiao Lin brought with a magnifying glass.

He seemed to hear the sound of the door opening, and turned around: "Here we come."

I came closer: "Yes, Grandpa."

"Xiao Lin just came and talked to me for a while." He walked away from the window sill and motioned for me to follow him to the dining table, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

I took the magnifying glass in his hand, and smiled a little: "Fortunately, I strolled in the garden for a while."

He nodded: "Is your work going well recently?"

I was startled.

Because of what Xiao Lin said just now, I can't help but think too much, but I can't figure out why Xiao Lin brought this matter to Mr. Xiao.

Taking a step back, even if it is true, whether it is a supplier or a counter, the troubles in the jewelry store during this period are all caused by Xiao Wu, so what does it have to do with him?What benefits can he get from the old man?

I couldn't figure it out, so I had no choice but to nod: "Overall, it's going well."

"Well, Xiao Wu has been busy recently?"

He doesn't have Xiao Wu's nickname.

His grandson is going to take over the burden of the Xiao family. Since he made this decision, he can only go on and never turn back. It is absolutely impossible to be as safe and secure as his father expected. Worry-free all year round.

He can't be Xiaoan.

Mama Zhang told me that Xiao Wu was a picky eater when he was a child, and after being taken to the old house by the old man, he couldn't change his habit for a while.

Mr. Xiao looked at it coldly a few times, and the next day he ordered the kitchen to pick out what he didn't like to eat.

Xiao Wu also had a stubborn temper that was used to him. Looking at the table full of dishes, although he didn't say anything, he refused to put down his chopsticks anyway, and insisted on eating plain rice for several days.

The Xiao family's appearance is already excellent, and he looks like his father, carved in powder and jade, such a small child, except for crying in his grandfather's arms at the funeral, for so long, no matter how much he suffered I was wronged, and I didn't see him crying for a while.

Mrs. Zhang and the housekeeper felt sorry for him, fearing that he would not have enough to eat and that the children would not be able to keep up with nutrition, so they always secretly brought him food at night. Later, when Mr. Xiao found out, Mr. Xiao was furious and wanted to resort to family law to deal with him.

Xiao Wu went to the back kitchen without saying a word, and after reporting the names of a series of dishes, someone brought them up, took a bowl full, and finished eating in front of the old man.

So far, no one has ever heard of the word picky eater in the new successor of the Xiao family that Mr. Xiao trained.

The bowls and chopsticks have been set, and the dishes are on the table. The butler pulled the stool away and made a gesture of invitation.

I waited for the old man to sit down before I sat down next to him, and made him a bowl of soup: "Yes, the company is very busy recently. I originally said that I would come to see grandpa after a few days of busy work."

With Mr. Xiao's skills, even if he has stepped back now, he must know everything about the Xiao family. Naturally, he doesn't know why Xiao Wu is busy. Then what is his attitude?

Also, judging from the current situation, Xiao Wu obviously didn't know about the meal today, but I just don't know if Xiao Lin's coming here was also accidental?What is the purpose of the old man suddenly picking me up for dinner alone?

The chef's craftsmanship is as good as ever, and the dishes are delicious and delicate. It's just that I was too nervous and tired to deal with it a few times ago, and I couldn't remember the slightest taste of swallowing jujubes. Now I relax a little bit, but it's not too difficult.

After a while, the old man suddenly snorted heavily: "Mr. Xiao is not an easy job. Go back and tell him that there is no need to take time to run to me. I don't need him to worry about me here."

Although the tone was heavy, there was not much anger in the words.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable, dumbfounding familiarity.

Xiao Wu probably hasn't been to the old house for a long time.

I think that this old man may not be as firm as a rock, cold and stubborn as he appears on the surface. He uses Xiao's family as a bargaining chip to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight without emotion, watching the juniors fight to the death with cold eyes.

He will not be like the general elders, earnestly exhorting and exhorting on the phone, saying that everything is fine at home, you should pay attention to your health, no matter how busy you are at work, you should eat on time, and you don't have to miss home, but the love for the younger generation is also great. Unseen less.

Like that little iris in the garden that has been well cared for.

Lunch was as quiet as ever. Mr. Xiao is of the older generation with strict rules. The few words he said at the beginning of the meal are already rare in my opinion.

As a result, when the meal was almost over, there were some unusual movements outside.

I was a little surprised, I turned my head slightly to look at the old man, but I saw that his expression remained unchanged and calm.

He was born in troubled times, and he was not even Xiao Wu's age when he took over Xiao's burden. Besides, that era was far from what it is now, the situation was unspeakably complicated, and the conditions were extremely difficult. It is conceivable that the people who come here are strong and firm in mind, and they are calm and calm even when the sky falls. No matter how the people of the Xiao family call the wind and rain outside, they have to behave in front of him, even the volume of their speech is low. You have to control it, let alone make noise.

The butler came in from the outside, looked at me with a complicated expression, and then leaned over and said something in the old man's ear.

I was even more puzzled, until I finally heard the sound outside the house, I was startled.

I heard Xiao Wu swearing, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, as if telling someone to get out.

The person who came in at the door had not restrained his aura, and his eyes, which were always deep and unwavering, were full of determination and cruelty.

I was flustered by this look, and subconsciously wanted to speak, but was awakened by the sound of "pop" when the old man put down the chopsticks, so I had to keep silent and stare at him blankly.

He seems to have rushed over directly from the company, maybe he just finished a meeting, and he was dressed very formally. He has lost some weight during this period, and he can't usually see it, but his clothes are more obvious now, probably because he left It was too urgent, his face was a little pale, his lips were bloodless, and his breathing hadn't even calmed down yet.

I've never seen him so embarrassed.

In other words, probably something big happened.

My mind was in a mess, but I also knew that now was not the time for me to ask questions.

Xiao Wu didn't look at me, and all the aura on his body had been restrained. After a while, he bowed his head and called out respectfully Grandpa.

"How did you make it look like this?" Mr. Xiao frowned.

Xiao Wu was brought up by his side, and he had supervised and inspected the rules and etiquette. Obviously, the current state of affairs should not be the attitude he expected.

Xiao Wu didn't speak any more, the surroundings were quiet like a silent confrontation.

After a long time, I saw that the old man's face softened a little, and he snorted coldly and said: "Since we are here, we will stay for one night before leaving. The company won't fail if it is lost for an afternoon. Now go and clean yourself up and see you soon." I."

"I want to see if the sky is falling, or if I can eat people."

I think that "all" probably includes me.

Only then did Xiao Wu nod his head in yes, and lead me outside.

His hand was very warm, and it was so strong that it almost hurt me, but I didn't cry out.

I have been to Xiao Wu's room, the one on the far right on the third floor, probably because it is quiet.

I didn't say anything, and let him lead me up the stairs, through the window where the sunlight came in, and through a long, dimly lit corridor, where there were even some murals with a sense of historical precipitation on the top.

He didn't let go of me until I entered the room. I drew the curtains and opened the window, and I could see the roses blooming in the yard, beside them were pink and white hibiscus and the one I had just watered. Small pieces of iris.

Xiao Wu was standing next to me, frowning slightly, but his expression had returned to normal. It was as if Mr. Xiao, who looked stern and slightly embarrassed just now, had never existed.

He is such a person, so calm and reserved that he is almost terrifying. Of course he also has emotions, he can be angry and angry, and he can also be relaxed and happy. back view.

He never allowed himself to really lose control.

Just like in the dining room just now, the swords were on the verge of breaking out and the shape was colorful, but after walking into the room, he was already in business as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

He was so proud that he refused to leave any flaws behind.

Xiao Wu stood by the window and made a phone call, probably Meng Kai. I thought he was going to explain something in the company, but in the end he just gave a few simple instructions to send clothes and daily necessities.

I sighed: "Mr. Xiao."

"What?" He threw the phone aside.

"I met Xiao Lin just now."

He paused when he untied his tie: "Yeah."

"The jewelry store has something to do with Mr. Xiao?"

He turned his head, his dark eyes swept across my face carefully, as if he was looking at something, then his expression remained unchanged, and he changed the subject openly: "We will stay here for one night, and Meng Kai will stay here later. Will bring your notebook and clothes."

I don't have the character of breaking the casserole and asking the end. He knows this, and I know it, so in fact, for a long time, I felt that, to some extent, he would ask me to name this Mrs. Xiao, It has nothing to do with the sense of proportion.

I am very clear that this is the end of the point.

Mr. Xiao obviously thought the same way. He was never someone who would explain himself, and it was naturally the same now. He was going to the bathroom.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I couldn't help calling out to him: "Mr. Xiao."

I said, "What happened today has something to do with me?"

I clearly saw that the expression on Xiao Wu's face froze severely.

But I don't regret it, of course I can continue to play wise and safe, pretending to be a fool who doesn't know anything, after all, after all, there is nothing wrong with the jewelry store now, and I haven't suffered any actual losses, but today is different, Xiao I didn't see him frown even when things turned out like this.

Although I don't know why he is abnormal today, but it's not that I can't see the slightest clue. If it's about the company, so many days have passed, and I can't wait until today to make a fuss. What's more coincidental Yes, the old man just called me to eat today?And the sentence before I left, is the sky falling or will I eat people?

Xiao Wu's expression was uncertain.

After a while, I smiled helplessly: "Mr. Xiao, are you here to pick me up?"
