Item family

When Xiang Yuan heard that Xiang Zhongcheng was looking for him, he was taken aback for a moment.

Although Xiao Yueheng had reminded him a long time ago, he never expected that his father would really come.

"Young Master Xiang?" Seeing that he was in a daze, Steward Zhou couldn't help reminding him.

Xiang Yuan came back to his senses, first habitually glanced at the place where the third master often sat, and only let out a low voice when he realized that the third master was not at home.

"If you don't want to meet, I'll just say you're not here?" Steward Zhou suggested kindly.

"It's okay." Xiang Yuan shook his head. We haven't seen each other for several years, and it's okay to see each other. "Let him wait a moment. I'll change clothes and go down."

"Okay." Steward Zhou glanced at him worriedly, and went down slowly. Xiang Shao has been back to China for a few months, and Deputy Minister Xiang has never visited the door. This time, he probably didn't just come here to see Xiang Shao. Zhou The housekeeper didn't like such an irresponsible father, so he didn't rush down to treat the guests.

Xiang Yuan washed his face and changed his clothes before Shi Shiran went downstairs.

Ordinary people see their own father, why do they need to be so formal, this is obviously a behavior only for guests, after a long time, Xiang Yuan can hardly remember his father's appearance, before returning to China in his previous life, his father seems to have just arrived at m Country M has seen him twice. If it wasn't for the third master to take care of him, Xiang Yuan wouldn't know how he would survive the days when he first arrived in Country M.

Even if there was some admiration when he was a child, after Xiang Zhongcheng's indifference for many years, it was slowly exhausted, not to mention that Xiang Yuan was born again, and he has already passed the age of needing a father.For Xiang Yuan, with his mother's death, the Xiang family has become a vague symbol. Apart from inheriting Xiang Zhongcheng's surname, he can no longer find his connection with the Xiang family.

In the past, the third master had persuaded him that it was a family after all, even if it was just a show, don't make too much trouble, but after he returned to China, Xiang Zhongcheng never contacted him, and in the end, the third master did not mention this matter anymore up.However, there is a habit that the third master has retained, that is, after he is full, the Ye family will always send a gift to the Xiang family in his name. Xiang Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of it at the time. The third master told him that it was just that he didn't want him to lose his tongue.

Xiang Yuan has never paid much attention to these matters, but the third master must have his reasons for doing so, but now that Xiang Zhongcheng has approached him, Xiang Yuan feels that it would be better to cut off contact at the beginning.

"You're here." Xiang Yuan went to the living room, and when he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, he still used honorifics.

"Why, after being abroad for a few years, even Dad can't bark anymore?" Xiang Zhongcheng tried hard to force a smile, but his smile was so unnatural when facing his son whom he hadn't seen for three years.

"...Dad." After holding back for a long time, Xiang Yuan gently held back this long-lost address. He was already a stranger, but now he insisted on pretending to be intimate, didn't he feel awkward?

"Good boy." Xiang Zhongcheng wiped his sweat and sat down awkwardly, "You sit down too."

The two sat down at the same time, but they almost chose the seat farthest from each other in the living room. Xiang Zhongcheng moved uncomfortably, as if a needle was being pricked under his buttocks, and Xiang Yuan sat on the sofa. At one end, the expression is calm, and there is no disturbance in the heart.

If there is any resentment or resentment, the last life has already been worn away. He used to wish that Xiang Zhongcheng's family of three would die, but after being reborn, Xiang Yuan's thoughts have changed. The resentment is too sad. For this family, it is really not worth it.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time, Xiang Yuan leaned on the couch and sipped tea slowly, as if he didn't feel that the atmosphere in the living room was getting more and more awkward.

"Well, you know about your younger brother, don't you?" Seeing that the eldest son still kept silent, Xiang Zhongcheng had to bite the bullet and ask.

"Brother?" Xiang Yuan put down his teacup and raised his eyebrows, "Xiang Xiao?"

"Yes, it's been so many years since you went out, and he has always missed you very much, and your Aunt Liu often misses you too."

"Oh..." Xiang Yuan elongated his voice, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that I haven't made a single phone call in seven years when I was thinking about me, and you were only allowed to go abroad twice in seven years when I was thinking about me, and I was not allowed to go back to China after I returned. Go live at home? If you don't tell me, I really don't know how Aunt Liu treats me so, so, well."

"What do you know as a child," Xiang Zhongcheng blushed, "Xiang Xiao called, and then the third master blocked the number at home, so we couldn't contact you. As for going abroad to see you, at that time Dad has no money, and the family savings have been spent to send you abroad, so you have to be considerate of me."

"So I spent your money when I went abroad?" Xiang Yuan was a little surprised, "Didn't you earn some dead wages at that time, didn't all the money in the family come from my mother?"

When Xiang Yuan went abroad, Xiang Zhongcheng had already become the director of a certain department, but Xiang's mother spent a lot of effort secretly to win him the position of director. Mom died in a car accident.

People say that there are three great joys for middle-aged men—getting rich, getting promoted, and dying their wives. Men account for almost all of the three things. Even if Xiang Yuan was young at the time, it was impossible not to doubt him. Grandpa and grandma have passed away long ago, and there is no one who can uphold justice for him.

"Why did your kid have such a estrangement with me after going abroad for a few years?" Xiang Zhongcheng blamed, "Isn't it my support for your mother's business? If I didn't find her a relationship to attract customers, she could make money ? Besides, all the family savings have been spent on you, so what's the point of arguing about it now?"

"Is it all spent on me?" Xiang Yuan smiled, "Where did the money for Xiang Xiao's business come from?"

"Of course... it was saved by your Aunt Liu."

"Before I went abroad, my mother's company was still there? Why did you change your surname to Liu now?"

"After your mother passed away, the company closed down. Don't you know that?" Xiang Zhongcheng frowned, "What do you mean by talking about old scores with me today?"

"It's not interesting. I knew that my mother's company was worth several million at the time. Even if you sold it, the savings would still be around ten million, right? I have been abroad for seven years and you don't have to worry about the money. I paid living expenses for two years, and then I ignored him, I have tens of thousands of notes in my hand, and I said that I have no money to see me, dad, are you my real dad?"

"I, I..." Xiang Zhongcheng didn't expect Xiang Yuan to remember the events at that time so clearly, obviously he had cleaned up everything, "It's the third master who forbids me to see you," Xiang Zhongcheng murmured argued.

After listening to Xiang Zhongcheng's explanation, the smile on Xiang Yuan's face deepened. It was the third master who forbade Xiang Zhongcheng to see him. It was obviously the third master who found out the inside story and told himself at the time, so he did it in a fit of rage. Don't answer his father's phone call.

But Xiang Yuan is too lazy to entangle with him on this. In the past, he was so spoiled by the third master, and he didn't pay attention to the 800 million yuan at home, but it's different now. If you open the door, then don't even think about leaving in full.

"You came here today, do you want to give me some compensation?" Xiang Yuan asked knowingly.

"No," Xiang Zhongcheng shook his head, then felt something was wrong, and hastily added, "You eat delicious food at Ye's house, and the third master treats you well. How can I compare with the third master."

"The third master is the third master, you are you," Xiang Yuan said puzzled, "do you want to sever ties with me?"

"of course not."

"Then why can't I inherit a share of my mother's inheritance?"

"Let's not talk about this now, your brother's company..." Xiang Zhongcheng didn't expect that the elder son would change so much after seeing him for a few years. He was obviously bad-tempered and straight-tempered before, so why has he become so difficult now?

"I want my mother's inheritance. What's the matter with Xiang Xiao?" Xiang Yuan frowned, "Although Xiang Xiao's surname is Xiang, he is a child brought by Aunt Liu. What does it have to do with our family's property?"

Although everyone in Sijiu City knew that Xiang Xiao was Xiang Zhongcheng's biological son, Xiang Zhongcheng never admitted it outside to cover up his embarrassment. Now that Xiang Yuan jumped out to question him, he really couldn't explain it.

"I'll talk about the inheritance later. Your younger brother's company has been hostilely acquired. You should have heard about it, right?"

"I haven't heard of it." Xiang Yuan looked surprised, isn't it just acting, who knows how.

"I found out that the children of the Fang family, the Li family, and the Luo family have all made moves. Have you had a good time with them recently?"

"I've only studied at University A for a few days? How can Xiang Xiao have a good relationship with them?"

Xiang Zhongcheng was choked by him, no matter how many excuses he had in mind, but Xiang Yuan just didn't follow his words, and Xiang Zhongcheng couldn't bear to make false claims with his son, his expression changed, and he asked sharply He said: "How can you say that he is also your younger brother? Do you think your face looks good after he was raped? Just ask if you can help?"

Why should he help the cheap brother who he never admitted?Xiang Yuan glanced at his father, but didn't bother to say anything.

"What kind of attitude do you have? Don't think that you can put on airs with me if you follow the third master. After returning to China for so many days, you haven't even called home. Do you still have my father in your eyes? The Ye family is now I treat you well, but a man is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as successful as a hundred days, and someone like you who serves others with sex..."

Clap clap!Before Xiang Zhongcheng finished speaking, he heard a few crisp applause from the living room door.

"Who?!" He looked back angrily.

"Minister Xiang, you're right!" The third master stood at the door with a smile on his face, but his eyes turned into ice skates when he looked at him.

"Third, third master..." Xiang Zhongcheng shrank immediately, obviously he only entered the door when he found out that third master was not at home, why did this great god come back suddenly?

"Keep talking, why don't you talk?" The third master walked in slowly, sat next to Xiang Yuan, and hugged the child's shoulder comfortingly.

"Third Master, I was a little anxious just now, and my words were a bit out of my head..." Regardless of how majestic Vice Minister Xiang is outside, he really can't afford to put up that score in front of Third Master.

"Minister Xiang, when I established a relationship with Dongdong three years ago, you also went there. What did you say at that time?"

"I, I..." Thinking of the promise at that time, Xiang Zhongcheng lowered his head in shame. Others didn't know, but he himself couldn't forget that the third master had informed him when he established a relationship with Dongdong, and he The position of deputy minister was actually a dowry gift from the third master in disguise.

"Dongdong was young at the time, and he didn't say anything if you didn't give him living expenses. After we established a relationship, although Dongdong didn't return to China, he never missed the ceremony every year. In terms of etiquette, Dongdong doesn't owe you, right? "

"No, I don't owe you anything." He didn't pay the living expenses, but he also took a gift from his son, saying that it was the Xiang family who felt sorry for Dongdong.Moreover, the reason why the Xiang family has face in Sijiu City is also because of this etiquette, not in the amount of gifts, but in the mind of the third master.

The Xiang family is only the Xiang family with the third master standing behind. Otherwise, how could he, a deputy with no real power, be shaken in the capital?This is also the reason why Xiang Xiao went to Ye's family right after he was plotted against. If Xiang Yuan hadn't been playing tricks behind his back, who would dare to take action against Xiang Xiao?

But now it's better, he was impatient for a while, and offended the little backer and even the big backer behind the little backer.
