It's hard to get gold when the sky falls

He stretched out his hand calmly, blocking the paws that the other party was trying to hug, and it directly turned into a handshake. Li He still had a modest expression on his face: "It's my cousin. You suddenly became so handsome, I I don’t even dare to admit it anymore.” He said it politely, but he was slandering him in his heart.She was born less than a month early, so my cousin is really annoying.

Anyone can say flattery, but it is particularly satisfying to say it from Li He's reserved expression.Sure enough, the face is good and everything is fine.

"Where is it, you look more and more beautiful." Ma Xiaohai took Li He's hand naturally, and Ma Xiaohai planned to take his cousin to his car: "Come on, come on, haven't eaten yet. Let's go eat first."

Zheng Shu, who was standing aside, finally gave up being the background. He coughed lightly and reminded, "Seventh Young Master, I'm here to pick up Young Master Li."

Ma Xiaohai rolled his eyes, with a bit of arrogance: "Young Master Li. Xiaohe is my cousin, called Master Cousin." Although it's just a little older, Ma Xiaohai is quite smooth about forcing him to be his elder brother.

"Yes, I'm here to pick up Young Master Biao." Zheng Shu was also kind.

Ma Xiaohai stopped in his tracks and looked Zheng Shu up and down: "It's just that William sent someone to pick up his cousin, not my grandfather. Go back and say, I took it away."

"The old man is still waiting for Young Master Biao." Zheng Shu didn't seem to intend to just let it go.He walked over two steps calmly, just in time to get stuck on the way to the sports car.It seems that this matter is a bit strange.

Ma Xiaohai waved his hand impatiently: "I'll die later. I'll take him to dinner first, and then send him there in the evening." After speaking, he dragged Li He to leave.

Zheng Shu said seriously: "Seventh Young Master, it is the old man's intention that Young Master Biao is back. I must take him there!" The firmness in his tone seemed a little unusual.

Li He's eyes turned to Ma Xiaohai, who had been smiling all the time, and the other party's expression became a little unclear: "The surname is Zheng, who do you think you are? You are just a little assistant, and you actually hold a chicken feather as an arrow. Don't forget, you It was money from the Ma family." Ma Xiaohai's expression seemed to be half a smile at first, but there seemed to be a little worry between his brows.

However, even if the young master of the Ma family showed displeasure, Zheng Shu didn't seem to intend to back down.He chuckled, and replied with a polite emphasis: "As Qi Shao said, I get the salary of the Ma family, not yours. If you want to pay me a salary, you have to inherit it first." Family business is the only way to do it." There was an unspeakable sarcasm on the originally friendly face: "Although it is unlikely, you can still work hard so that you can give up better."

That means that it is tantamount to directly mocking Ma Xiaohai for not being able to inherit the Ma family's property, and now he is just asking for humiliation by confronting himself.

Being slapped in the face like this, Li He unconsciously felt pain for his cheap cousin.But Ma Xiaohai is not a good person: "I am a member of the Ma family anyway. Why are you an outsider interfering in our family's affairs. Don't scare me with grandpa. Isn't he critically ill? How can I inform you now. It's just a way The old guy William is just here to fool people. Let me tell you, today, I really picked up my cousin. I want to see, who dares to talk too much when I invite my cousin to dinner. If you have the ability, just ask grandpa to call Give it to me. Let's see which of us wins!"

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone indifferently: "It's a big deal to tear your face." Li He noticed that although Zheng Shu's expression did not change significantly, there was a little hesitation in his eyes.Although I don't know why I had to take myself to the hospital in the first place, but it seems that my grandfather didn't give the order directly.

That being the case, Li He decided that it would be better to get some information from Ma Xiaohai first.He took a step forward, took out the ticket and handed it to Zheng Shu: "Please help me get my luggage." He has all his documents with him, so it doesn't matter if he just leaves.

As soon as he spoke, Ma Xiaohai's expression relaxed. Although he didn't say anything, there was a bit of complacency in his eyes, which was indeed the expression that a young man of about 22 years old should have.But Zheng Shu still seemed a little reluctant.But since they have already lost, there is no point in competing again.He could tell that Li He would not leave with him first.

"Master Biao, you should take this mobile phone with you first." Zheng Shu took out a new ultra-thin mobile phone from his pocket: "The signal in China is different, it would be more convenient for you to have an extra mobile phone."

Li He nodded politely, and got into the car with Ma Xiaohai.

"Where to eat? Western food or national food?" Ma Xiaohai is also very straightforward: "I have been away for four or five years. I haven't been back halfway. Really don't want hometown food?"

Li He smiled slightly: "Listen to my cousin."

"That's the national dish!" Ma Laoqi also simply said: "The foreign devil's food is just a good plate. Not only does it taste bad, but some of it is not cooked."

"That's true." Li He turned the topic directly to his own concerns: "How did my cousin know that I would be back today? The family asked you to pick me up?"

"Brother's meaning." Ma Xiaohai didn't hide anything: "He originally wanted to come here directly. But something got stuck. Let me come and pick it up."

The elder brother Ma Xiaohai refers to, of course, refers to Ma Xiaotian, the eldest grandson of the Ma family.In Li He's impression, this elder brother has always been very kind to him.Being around people is very comfortable.He still remembers that when he was studying in a boarding school in China, only Ma Xiaotian would come here occasionally to see if he was being bullied.This is probably the only bit of family affection that Li He can feel after his parents died.

"Then when will big brother come over?" Li He's expression loosened a bit when Ma Xiaotian was mentioned: "But I'll still go to see grandpa after dinner."

Ma Xiaohai gave Li He a weird look: "I came here to pick you up because I don't want you to be taken away by that boy Zheng Shu. You are rushing up to see what grandpa is doing now?"

Li He was surprised: "Grandpa is critically ill and asked me to come back. Of course I want to see him as soon as possible."

"Grandpa wants to see you?" Ma Xiaohai seemed a little surprised: "Didn't William lie to you?"

"No. It's grandpa's voice. I can be sure of that." Although they basically don't meet each other, they still make occasional phone calls.Even after staying abroad for several years, Li He is still quite familiar with Grandpa's voice.

Hearing what Li He said, Ma Xiaohai didn't force it: "Since it was Grandpa who asked you to go there, I will see you off after dinner."

Li He was very happy to see Ma Xiaohai's appearance, so he temporarily dispelled his doubts.He had seen the conflict between Zheng Shu and Ma Xiaohai before. Although he didn't trust Zheng Shu very much, he still cared a little bit about Ma Xiaohai.So I tried it out and found that he was really taking over himself according to Ma Xiaotian's explanation.

As for how Ma Xiaotian knew he would come back, Li He could guess.My big cousin has been studying with my grandfather since he was 15 years old, so it is only natural for him to know about my grandfather's plan.It's just why Li He was so wary of the housekeeper William and his subordinates, which made Li He feel a little different.

"It's here. It's not bad here." Ma Xiaohai is indeed one of the most famous second-generation ancestors in Donghai City. Don't count on him to run a business or something, but he must know a good place to eat, drink and have fun: "This is the most famous place in Donghai City. One of the hotels. The national dishes inside are top-notch.”

Even if he has never been here before, just looking at the antique buildings in front of him and the location near Jinjiang's golden district, Li He knows that this is definitely a five-star hotel or above: "Jinjiang Hotel?"

"Yes. The most luxurious place under the old man's banner, we can swipe the big brother's card when we come to eat."

That's the way it is, but since the picky Li He is satisfied with both the appearance and the interior decoration, there is nothing wrong with it.

Following his familiar little cousin, Li He was ushered into a more secret private room inside.The responsible foreman also knows the rules.Seeing that Ma Xiaohai didn't seem to have any special intentions to show off, he immediately led people back after serving the dishes.Will not come in again without calling.

"Speaking of which, grandpa should be fine." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Li He finally changed the topic to what he cared about: "I read the news, even overseas newspapers have reports."

"The situation is not very good." Ma Xiaohai shook his head: "Grandpa fainted suddenly at home. It was only two days after he was rescued. The doctors were worried that he would not survive."

"Really." Li He pretended to be unconscious and said: "When I got off the plane just now, why did that Zheng Shufei pick me up? He belongs to my grandfather, so I should talk to my cousin first."

Ma Xiaohai snorted coldly: "I can't help it. Of course, people who follow grandpa look down on those of us who rely on blood to gain relationships. They think they rely on strength. Obviously grandpa has not died yet, so he has to accept it with a look of eagerness. His estate, and what about making a will. I really don’t think of myself as an outsider.”

"Make a will?" Li He keenly grasped the key point: "Grandpa is really dying?"

"When I saw it two days ago, I was quite energetic, and I was calm when I spoke." Ma Xiaohai sneered: "I don't know what my grandfather thinks. I have to listen to William's advice, I have to find a lawyer to make a will, and I have to wait until after his death to make it public. .”

"Probably for legal effect."

"Who knows if there will be tampering inside." Ma Xiaohai said sullenly: "There is nothing that can't be said publicly. The family's property was created by grandpa. It would be good to call everyone over and explain it clearly. Then face to face Sign and seal the document. It's no better than being secretive now."

"Could it be a matter of worrying about the distribution of inheritance?"

"How can there be a quarrel when a bowl of water is level?" Ma Xiaohai took a sip of wine resentfully: "As long as you are hiding it now, something will happen sooner or later."
