Twisted melon bursts sweet [e-sports]

"If you dare to leave today, you will never be the heir of the group again!" Shan Wei's tone was decisive, as if she had used her last trump card.

People who have stayed in high places for a long time can't accept the resistance from below, let alone the fact that the few resistances Shan Wei received all came from her own son. This fact made her even more unbearable !

As soon as her words fell, Xi Nian, who had just pulled Jin Chao forward for two steps, stopped.

"Your father and I have been tolerant enough to you," Shan Wei turned around and looked at the son who had never satisfied her, "Xi Nian, you are already 20 years old this year, if you do what your father and I have given you According to the arrangement, you are already a sophomore in a prestigious foreign school. When you return from your studies, you will naturally be able to take over the group, but now? What kind of job do you go to before you even finish high school? Is it of any use in the future? Is it any help for you to take over the group in the future?"

"Since you have given up that path, the only path left for you is marriage. As the only son of me and your father, as the future heir of the group, this is your responsibility and even more your obligation."

The reception room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard. The only outsider, Xia Ying, held her breath and waited for Xi Nian's answer—from rationality and her position, she knew that Xi Nian's mother Everything she said was correct, but from her sensibility or from her heart, she felt that Xi Nian would refuse...

"Then I give up my right to inherit." Xi Nian's voice was calm.

The impact of these words on Shan Wei was like a thunderbolt, which made her speechless for a long time, and even Xi Zongrui, who had been silent beside him, couldn't help frowning: "Take back your words!"

However, since Xi Nian had already said this sentence, he would naturally not take it back.

Xi Nian was indoctrinated with the concept of inheriting the group when he grows up. Even though various accidents happened in the middle, even if he dropped out of school to start a career in a "deviant way", even though his parents had other children outside, his status as the heir was not clear. Never wavered.

He thought that he would inevitably feel a little disappointed after saying this sentence, but in fact, he didn't. The word "heir" seemed to be a heavy burden on his shoulders. As he grew older, he became more and more courageous. It was almost overwhelming him... But now, he finally unloaded this burden ahead of time, he just felt relieved, and felt lighter than ever before.

I don't know how long it took Shan Wei to find her voice: "...you say it again."

"If I say it a hundred times, it will still be the same," Xi Nian said with some inconspicuous joy in his tone, "I give up the right to inherit."

It was still bright when we came, but when we came out after tossing around, it was completely dark.

In the midsummer season of July in Xijiang, even at night, it is hot and dry.

On the lawn at the back entrance of the hotel.

"hiss……"

"do not move!"

"No need, really... hiss!"

Jin Chao held the ointment in one hand, and wiped it on Xi Nian's swollen half of his face with the other, but because of improper control, he regained the pain sensation on the numb side of Xi Nian's face.

He looked at this half of his face distressedly: "Your mother is really ruthless, the swelling is so swollen that I don't think it will be completely gone tomorrow."

"It's really fine," Xi Nian paused before continuing, "Your neck should be swollen too, right? Show me."

Jin Chao waved his hand indifferently: "Hey, I'm really fine, I have a thick skin anyway, haha."

His pretended relaxed tone failed to reassure Xi Nian. Xi Nian held his chin with one hand and pressed the back of his neck with the other, exposing the side of him that had been beaten—fortunately, it was only red. A little bit, and it didn't really swell up.

Xi Nian heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes: "Why are you protecting me? I deserve to be beaten, what are you going to do?"

"Just beat it." Jin Chao has only been beaten since he was a child, and he has never been beaten. This experience is quite new to him.

Before he could finish his words of taking advantage of his mouth, he was hit again on the red spot on his neck, and he couldn't help howling.

Xi Nian glared at him, and the guilt in his heart disappeared completely: "Mother-in-law, you are tall! My mother-in-law is about the same size!"

Jin Chao: "..."

But soon, Xi Nian's mood sank again: "But it's not anymore, and it won't be in the future." Giving up the right of inheritance is equivalent to cutting off the relationship with the family, although this relationship originally existed in name only, But no matter how indifferent he is on the surface... there is always some hope left in his heart.

A gust of night wind gently lifted Xi Nian's broken hair that fell to his forehead at some point, and Jin Chao could clearly see the faint disappointment on his face through the light from the back door of the hotel.

Jin Chao put away the ointment, wiped off the ointment on his fingers with a paper towel, then reached out and patted Xi Nian on the shoulder with a rare gentle tone: "If you have anything you can't tell others, You can tell me, and I promise that every word that enters my ears will not leak out."

Although Jin Chao didn't quite understand the conversation in the reception room just now, he at least understood one thing - Xi Nian was not doing well at home.

The father showed up at the birthday party grandly with his mistress and illegitimate daughter. When the mother saw him, she questioned and slapped him... Dad is not like dad, mom is not like mother, and home is not like home.

"I'm fine," Xi Nian raised his head and smiled at him, then lowered his head again, "Actually, there's nothing to say, you should have heard of Xi Shan Group, right?"

Jin Chao nodded. In fact, he had already heard Xia Ying say this, but he still wanted to hear Xi Nian say it again.

"More than 20 years ago, the Xishan Group was not the Xishan Group at that time, it was just two well-known companies in Xijiang. out of the children."

Xi Nian talked about this past event that almost determined his life, but the expression on his face was calm: "You should have guessed that the two parties in the marriage are my parents—Xi Zongrui and Shan Wei. At that time, the two families were There were only two unmarried and school-age children, and the decision to marry was made hastily and decisively, but that was the problem... My parents both had lovers at the time, how could it be possible to suddenly receive the news of the marriage? accept?"

As if thinking of something, Xi Nian suddenly smiled, but the smile was full of sarcasm: "Don't look at what they said when they persuaded me to get married now, but they struggled for a long time when it was their turn. ...But in the end, love still can't win the bread, they all left their lovers and chose to marry."

Xi Nian's tone was relaxed, but Jin Chao felt very uncomfortable.

Obviously I have already suffered this kind of persecution back then, why has the victim turned into the perpetrator after decades?

What's more, Xi Nian, who was born under such a premise...do his parents really love him?

"Marriage is 'unavoidable', but the life after marriage is beyond the control of the elders of both parties. Neither of them lives at home... In that house, they each have a home outside, and their life is nothing like before the marriage Different... except for the extra me."

Jin Chao could hear the loneliness in Xi Nian's words, and couldn't help but ask, "Your parents are both so handsome and married again, can't you make do with it?"

Xi Nian smiled and shook his head: "Impossible, according to their personalities, even sitting together and talking is a torment... But I do know that my mother thought about it, probably when I was three or four years old. Sometimes, for a period of time, she came back to live every day, and she even cooked for herself, and she would tell me stories at night, but she only persisted for more than a week before giving up, probably because my father always had no good looks towards her, she I can't hold back my face."

She even got angry at herself for witnessing these things that made her feel ashamed...but now it's meaningless to say these things.

"Your father has, heck, there must be something wrong with his eyesight." Jin Chao swallowed the half-spoken swear words into his throat, "Your mother is so good-looking that he doesn't even care about it."

"I heard that my father persisted for a long time for his lover at that time. It was only later that the lover was bribed by the parents of both parties to collect money and leave, but unfortunately died on the spot in a car accident on the way... After that, my father agreed to the marriage."

Jin Chao heard Xi Nian's unfinished meaning: "Is he accusing your mother of hatred?"

"Who knows?" Xi Nian looked up at the night sky. Today's weather is fine, and even in the city you can vaguely see a few stars of varying brightness and darkness. There are only a handful of them, and I never know what he's thinking."

"Then how did you come here when you were a child?"

"Although they didn't come back, they have never been harsh on me in terms of material conditions. I grew up with nanny and housekeepers. I even thought they were my parents. Oh, the housekeepers I'm talking about are what you saw today That one."

Jin Chao nodded, no wonder Xi Nian always felt that Xi Nian had a different attitude towards this housekeeper...

Jin Chao suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked, "What happened to you dropping out of high school?"

When his mother said these words, Xi Nian knew that Jin Chao would definitely ask. He didn't want to mention that incident back then, but he also didn't want to deceive Jin Chao, so he was silent for a long time before saying: "Because I can't stay in school anymore...I don't want to say the specific reason yet."

Can't stay in school?

How can I not stay in school?

Many thoughts flashed through Jin Chao's mind, but he vetoed them one by one...Since Xi Nian didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more. Anyway, it's all in the past, and it won't affect Xi Nian again .

Xi Nian looked down at his watch, it was already 08:30.

Has the movie started already?The first date with Jin Chao was ruined inexplicably...

Xi Nian sighed, stood up, and said with some frustration: "It's getting late, let's go back to the base first."

At this moment, his fingers were suddenly grabbed by someone.

Xi Nian lowered his head, and what he saw was a pair of eyes that looked unusually bright in the dark night——

"Xi Nian, I'll take you to a place!"
