Come on, I don't know what's going on in the main hall. Anyway, when it's dinner time, Guan Ying still appears in the dining hall. It's rare for her to wash and dress up. Elegant and extravagant, but with his head held high and his face sullen, he looked like a cold and hard shell of ice.

She met Guan Yunshan without even saying hello.

Guan Yunshan was so angry that his hands were shaking, as if he was about to have a stroke.

After the food was served, it didn't get better for a moment. The whole family sat around the dining table, their faces became more and more stiff, as if whoever opened their mouths could start a fight on the spot.

Ruan Xingtong was very uncomfortable being caught in the middle, and felt that after eating this meal in such a stern atmosphere, he would have a stomach problem.

But this family is still deceiving their ears and stealing the bell, refusing to talk to their relatives, and instead turning the topic to her.

Ruan Xingtong inexplicably became the center of everyone's attention, his stomach hurts a lot, and he regrets coming this time, but he still has to keep a smile on his face, answering their questions like an interview.

"In this way, you and our Xiaoxiao are still alumni, and have always known each other." Li Yuan smiled and said in a gentle voice, "We are very destined."

He is really handsome. Even after middle age, the end of his eyes has fine texture. When he looks at people smiling, he still has a romantic and elegant charm. Li Xiao and Li Yuan look very similar. After middle age, maybe it is this appearance.

Ruan Xingtong was stared at by Li Yuan, suddenly a little stunned, and then heard something smashed.

Guan Ying's face was cold, the glass she "accidentally" dropped to the ground was broken into pieces, and the red wine overflowed.

Her eyes were gloomy, and she was definitely not looking at Ruan Xingtong with good intentions. For no reason, Ruan Xingtong's spine shivered, and he avoided her gaze a little uncomfortable.

Li Yuan stood up and asked the servant to clean up the debris, and then went to help Guan Ying, but Guan Ying threw him away with a sharp voice, "Don't touch me!"

"Why are you crazy?" Guan Yunshan became angry, and he said angrily, "Don't play your temper with me, I didn't see you say a word after coming here, and the New Year's Eve pretended to be dumb and wept. Who are you showing your face to!?"

Guan Ying raised her head, looked directly at Guan Yunshan, and said in a high voice, "If you don't want to see me, don't call me here! Do you think that you won't remember the things you did after you die? Now you want to You put on a show, you want your family to be reunited and beautiful, and everyone wants to cooperate with you in acting!"

Her eyes were beautiful, everyone said they were very similar to her mother, round eyes with apricot core and double eyelids, she looked very pretty in terms of shape, but she was probably spoiled by the owner's surly temper for many years, and now they are bulging , which is full of hostility, as if it wants to swallow people in, making people feel hairy.

Guan Yunshan was stung by those eyes, and then he seemed to be targeted by Guan Ying's words. He jumped into a rage, cursing furiously while holding up his cane to beat someone. Ying continued to pour oil on the volcano again, and was very busy for a while, and the scene was very chaotic.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very poor, the Guan family father and daughter had a big fight, Guan Yunshan was so angry that he even took a few antihypertensive medicines, and was sent to the room to rest.

Li Xiao, who was watching the whole process, was indifferent all the time, and even had time to remember that Shi Yu asked him to go home early, thinking that Shi Yu would be alone at home waiting for him to go back, but he didn't know how much time he wasted here. , became even more impatient, moved his mind at will, and prepared to leave, but when he reached the entrance of the hall, Li Yuan stopped him: "Where are you going now?"

Li Xiao was impatient: "Go home, why don't you continue to watch your operas here?"

"This is your home, and your mother and I are here, which home do you want to go back to?" Li Yuan frowned, lowered his voice, and said, "Your grandfather is not in good health now, and he was just angry again. If you don't show your filial piety in front of him now, when will you do it?"

Li Xiao looked at his father quite interestingly. In the whole family, neither he nor his mother cared about the old man's life or death. Only this man in front of him wholeheartedly flattered the old man. No light.

"If you want to be filial, do it yourself," Li Xiao said indifferently, "He won't forget you."

Li Yuan became anxious because of his lack of oil and salt, and his handsome skin was also unsightly because of his greed: "Don't be stubborn with me, you think I don't know that you recently raised a boy at home Son, are you not looking good? If you let your grandfather know..."

Li Xiao said coldly: "So what?"

"Young master," the butler's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Master wants you to come in."

Guan Yunshan was leaning on the sofa, and a servant was helping him. He lay there with half-closed eyes, exhaling and inhaling, like the sun that was about to sink in the evening, exuding the last bit of residual warmth.

No matter how powerful a person is, when he gets old and drained by the years, he is no different from others.

Probably a quarrel exhausted his mind, Guan Yunshan looked very tired, he half opened his eyes, and saw Li Xiao just standing at the door, far away, without going any further, and said in a displeased voice: "...you stand What are you doing so far?"

Li Xiao looked at him, didn't speak, just took a few steps forward, and sat down on the single sofa next to him.

He said without emotion: "Grandpa has something to say to me?"

"I want to talk to my grandson, can't I?" Guan Yunshan's voice was muddy, with occasional coughing, but the bossy tone in his tone was not bad at all.

Li Xiao said: "If grandpa really wants to talk to me, he can call me and tell me to go home. Why use some shady means?"

Guan Yunshan slightly raised his voice: "What do you mean by that?"

Li Xiao didn't pretend to be a joke, and said bluntly: "I started a company before, and I recruited employees, but they all regretted it before signing the contract. Grandfather, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Guan Yunshan stopped coughing, he stretched out his hand and waved away the servant who patted his chest for comfort, and changed from reclining on the sofa to a half-sitting posture.

There are drooping wrinkles around his eyes, and the eyeballs are cloudy and faded, exuding a decayed atmosphere. He stared at Li Xiao with these eyes, but the trace of weakness and aging just now seems to have receded from him. With only an intriguing depth, he said slowly: "You always knew."

Li Xiao didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either.

Guan Yunshan nodded, but he didn't look surprised: "No wonder you went to S City within two days and found a new group of people. You think I can't control you too much when you reach the boundary of S City, don't you? "

Li Xiao was noncommittal, his expression was just indifferent, and he said: "Grandpa asked me to come, did he come here specially to test me, how to solve the problem grandpa set for me?"

"That's kind of a problem. It's just that you started a small company on a whim. I'm afraid you'll be popular in 3 minutes, so I'm willing to try you." Guan Yunshan said it lightly, as if Li Xiao had suffered a big fall at that time, and the company hadn't yet started. Founding, facing the crisis of dissolution is just a small twists and turns not worth mentioning, "But you are calm, you have never come to me to make trouble, and you can handle things yourself, better than your parents."

Li Xiao pinched his fingers calmly, with a hint of impatience between his brows: "What did my grandfather want to say?"

Guan Yunshan just let the servant go out, now he coughed again, the servant was not there, no one could help him, Li Xiao just looked at him indifferently.

Guan Yunshan gradually stopped coughing, and then waved his hands, his voice was a little weak: "It can't be done, it's not good if people don't accept it."

Li Xiao didn't speak.

"Your mother is already useless, and your father is even more useless. Only you can still see it." Guan Yunshan coughed again and said, "But I listen to your father, you would rather fool around outside. , and don’t want to join the company, why?”

Li Xiao said coldly, "I'm not fooling around."

"In such a small broken company, you have to do it yourself to make a contract. Isn't it a waste of energy? What is ignorance?" Guan Yunshan caught fire and slapped the armrest of the sofa vigorously, "Am I trying to harm you, or am I trying to trick you , you give me this reluctant look?!"

"It's the same as your mother. I have treated you badly since I was a child. You are unhappy here and dissatisfied there. Give me a look. Why, I am old and useless now. You all don't want to see me. You don’t want to recognize me anymore, do you!?”

Guan Yunshan was so emotional that he half stood up from the sofa, but because he was out of breath, he couldn't breathe, so he fell back down. He pressed his heart and scolded angrily, as if they were all wolves, ungrateful, and worse than pigs and dogs. s things.

But it was probably as Guan Yunshan said, Li Xiao was really cold-hearted, and Guan Yunshan's scolding didn't arouse any guilt in him. He looked at Guan Yunshan's face full of disappointment and desolation, and even felt two Very ridiculous.

He said calmly: "Grandpa asked me and my mother, but I don't know if grandpa ever asked himself this way."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Guan Yunshan's low voice said, "What do you mean?"

"Grandpa's first wife, from the time when grandpa was a poor man who went south to work, she followed grandpa and ran around with you tirelessly. In the end, when grandpa was in full bloom and was favored by the mayor's daughter, Suddenly passed away in a car accident." In order to appreciate Guan Yunshan's sudden change of expression, Li Xiao deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't know when the night is quiet, and grandpa
