He Wei

Chapter 20 Inheriting the Family Business

The two stayed in front of Mrs. Xue's tomb for a while. When they returned to Xue's mansion, it was past meal time. Master Xue and Xue Chengyi had already finished their meal, and only Xue Chengyu and Xu Hong were left at the table. Eat and chat.

Xue Chengyu still remembers the days when Mrs. Xue just left. Master Xue had to endure the pain of losing his wife while taking time out of his busy schedule to take care of his two sons. Xue Chengyi was too young to know how to love Master Xue. He would also cry and cry because he couldn't find Mrs. Xue, and the tossing people couldn't stand it.Xue Chengyu also grew up at that time, learning to help Master Xue share some affairs within his ability.

Xue Chengyu was only seven years old that year, holding a thick account book, pinching the beads to calculate the accounts carefully.

Xue Chengyu didn't rest even after finishing the day's calculations, and continued to pick up the book and start memorizing, as if he wouldn't get tired.

Master Xue felt sorry for his son and persuaded Xue Chengyu to relax his mind, but Xue Chengyu, like a madman, forcibly took the blame for his mother's death on his back, and even carried the so-called glory of the Xue family.

Xue Chengyu couldn't breathe under the pressure of these two mountains. Even so, he was unwilling to forgive himself. He kept everything in his heart and would not pour it out at will.

Perhaps in Xue Chengyu's understanding, silence is the best comfort for his family, it will not disturb others but also motivate himself, and it becomes more and more dull as time goes by.

Thinking back to now that the two of them had finished eating, Xu Wei got up and cleaned up the dishes. The tableware turned around and saw Fu Bo walking towards this side. Do you need something to find the young master?"

Uncle Fu didn't treat Xu Lang as an outsider, and he didn't hide it. He nodded and replied, "Today, the young master has grown up, and the young master has some things to tell the young master, so he didn't ask me to come here to find the young master."

Xue Chengyu, who was at the side, heard the voice, leaned on crutches and moved unhurriedly to Uncle Fu, and asked, "Is my father in the study?"

Uncle Fu nodded affirmatively again, Xue Chengyu led Xu Lang and followed Uncle Fu to the study without thinking too much.

When he came to the study, Uncle Fu gently knocked on the door, and he opened the door after hearing Master Xue say "Come in".The three of them entered the study one by one, stood at the table and waited for Master Xue to speak.

Master Xue put down the pen after writing the last stroke, looked up at Xue Chengyu and smiled, and said, "I've been tired all morning, don't stand still, sit down."

Xue Chengyu slowly moved to the stool and sat down, and asked softly: "I don't know why my father is looking for me?"

Master Xue picked up a small brocade box on the table, got up and walked to Xue Chengyu, and handed the box to Xue Chengyu, "The Xue family stipulates that the eldest son will take over the medical clinic when he becomes an adult. Since you were 14 years old, you have been in charge of the medical clinic. It has been abolished for six years. A lot of hard work, healing and saving lives, and the benevolence of the doctors, now that I am an adult, I can rest assured that the hospital will be taken care of by you. This is the seal of succession, and you can decide what you need to do in the hospital in the future, so you don’t need to ask me again.”

Xue Chengyu took the brocade box, opened it and looked at it, and heaved a long sigh.A white jade seal lay quietly in the box, the pure white seal could not see the slightest flaw.

Even if it has been used for a hundred years, the color is not dull, but it is brighter and brighter, and it seems to be glowing softly under the sunlight.

Underneath the seal is engraved the four big characters "Zhishi Xuanhu" in a thin gold body. The strokes are vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is worthy of attention.

Xue Chengyu closed the box and handed it to Xu Wei after only a few glances, and said calmly, "Don't worry, Dad, I will put more effort into running the clinic in the future, and I won't embarrass you."

Master Xue just smiled and didn't answer immediately, and took out another small seal from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Chengyu.Xue Chengyu was very surprised to see the little seal, and he dared not reach out to pick it up.

This time Master Xue gave him not just an ordinary seal, but a seal that symbolized the head of the Xue family.

The Xue family has a total of four seals, of which the head family's seal is divided into two. When signing an important agreement, only two seals are deducted at the same time to make the agreement effective.

Since Master Xue wants to give half of the seal to Xue Chengyu, it means that Xue Chengyu will be the new head of the family, and the responsibilities on his body will be even heavier.

"Father, what do you mean?" Xue Chengyu asked in surprise.

Master Xue was not surprised that Xue Chengyu didn't accept the seal. He explained unhurriedly: "Your father and I are old, and I can't handle many things. Yier is still young, so you should pay more attention to family affairs. Sooner or later, this family will You are in charge, and it is good to have more experience. Besides, I don’t completely ignore the affairs of the chamber of commerce. With me escorting you behind, what are you afraid of?”

Even though what Master Xue said made sense, Xue Chengyu still didn't dare to pick it up, and asked weakly: "But my legs are still limping, won't this disgrace my Xue family?"

However, before Master Xue could speak, Uncle Fu took the first step and persuaded: "What's there to be ashamed of? The young master is young and promising, and the chamber of commerce is also obvious to all. No one stipulates that you can't be in charge if you have bad legs. Just take the seal."

As soon as Uncle Fu finished speaking, Master Xue nodded in agreement. The two cooperated quite tacitly and connected properly, as if they had known that Xue Chengyu would decline, and were ready to persuade Xue Chengyu to take over this burden.

"Then I'll take it first..." After finishing speaking, Xue Chengyu carefully took the seal and put it in his arms, and sat on the side quietly waiting for Master Xue to continue to instruct.

"Xiao Lang has been with Yu'er for several years, so she should be familiar with the management of medical clinic affairs?"

Hearing Master Xue asking him, Xu Lang instantly stuttered, and replied intermittently: "Familiar... I'm getting closer...Master...what...what do you order..."

Seeing Xu Lang's nervous appearance, Mr. Xue shook his head helplessly, thinking: It's been three years, why is this kid still so afraid of him, he stutters when he speaks, is he so scary?

"I don't have anything important to tell you. It's just that you often go to the clinic with Yu'er. How about I let you be an accountant?"

"Ah? This..." Xu Lang couldn't make up his mind for a while, and subconsciously lowered his head to see what Xue Chengyu meant, but found that Xue Chengyu was covering half of his face with his hands at this time, deliberately avoiding him.

At this time, I couldn't think of a tactful excuse, so I had to bite the bullet and agree: "It's all up to the master's arrangement... If you make a wrong account... please don't blame the master..."

"It doesn't matter. Yu'er will still be counting at the end of the month. You just need to record the entry and exit accounts."

Xu Lang kept the words in his heart, nodded earnestly, and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the master's trust."

Seeing the frequent eye contact between the two people in front of him, Mr. Xue always has an indescribable feeling. There must be something wrong between them, but he just doesn't want to point it out.

In the end, Master Xue thought about it and decided that he still chose a roundabout tactic, and gave some pointers: "Yu'er, now that you are an adult and take over the hospital, and your legs and feet are gradually recovering, there will definitely be many people who will come to make an appointment in the future. Even if you are a father, you don't want to." Forcing you, although it is a bit early to start a family at the age of 20, but no matter whether you want to get married or not, you should listen to the introduction of the matchmaker anyway. There are people outside the province who say that you are not into women... and don't be like before. Just invite people out of the gate, it seems that my Xue family is rude."

As soon as Xue Chengyu heard the word "matchmaker", Xue Chengyu had a headache, and the appearance of the best matchmaker in the Jiangnan area kept appearing in his mind, all of them were "alluring".

However, after thinking about it for a long time, I felt a little nauseous, so I quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to relieve my unhappiness.

"Father, as I said, I can make up my own mind on this matter, so you don't need to worry about it!" After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup heavily, stood up, and wanted to take Xu Lang away.

However, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Master Xue say angrily: "Don't take this matter seriously, and the matter between you and Xiaohong... It's related to your reputation outside, so you should do it yourself!"

Hearing what Master Xue said, Xue Chengyu stood there in a daze, while Fu Bo and Xu Lang also looked at each other, speechless.

However, after thinking about it, it is not surprising that Master Xue would say such words. Even if Master Xue is busy with business on weekdays, he does not care about his own son. I am afraid that Master Xue has not tolerated it easily in the past three years.

Xue Chengyu lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth as if mocking himself.He himself is still too naive, thinking that he can be unknown if he doesn't show it.

But if you don't want others to know unless you do nothing, it's impossible for Mr. Xue not to notice anything after three years.

"Since father already knew about it, I don't need to hide it anymore. I know the seriousness of this matter and I know that father is thinking of me. It's just that Xiaolang and I have made a promise to stay with him in this life and protect him well. If father insists on embarrassing me ...Don't blame your son for being unfilial!"

Xue Chengyu's last sentence was word for word, as if every word was ruthless.

Xu Lang had never seen Xue Chengyu contradict Master Xue before, so he was a little surprised.In fact, not only Xu Lang was surprised, but even Uncle Fu, who had watched Xue Chengyu grow up, was stunned. Xue Chengyu had a gentle temper.

As long as he can remember, he has never contradicted Master Xue, but now that he can say such a thing, it shows that Xu Lang holds a very high position in his heart.

Xu Lang was frightened by the father and son in turn and panicked instantly. With a "plop", she knelt down at Master Xue's feet, hugged Master Xue's leg and begged, "Master...don't be angry...don't blame the young master...it's all about this matter." Blame me...it's all my fault...it's my fault...don't make things difficult for young master..."

Master Xue was taken aback by Xu Hong's actions, and quickly reached out to help Xu Hong, but he didn't expect that Xu Hong would not get up.

Bringing up this matter today is not to stop the two of them, but just to give them a little bit of advice. The matter of Nanfeng is not big or small, but I am afraid that it will become a reality in the chamber of commerce. It is better to be careful in everything .

While trying to help Xu Lang up again, Master Xue explained: "You children get up first, I don't mean to stop you, but since Yu'er takes over the medical center and is the next generation head of the Xue family, he must pay attention to external influences, I don't care You are what you are in the yard, but you should be what you are outside! This matter should not be publicized!"

Xue Chengyu and Xu Lang didn't expect Master Xue to be so reasonable in this matter, and he forgot all the words he had thought about in an instant, and now he has no other expressions except surprise.

Xu Lang stood up slowly, lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Master Xue, and asked timidly, "Will the master really not embarrass the young master?"

Master Xue let out a long sigh, took a meaningful look at Xue Chengyu who was standing at the door, and replied: "No. Yu'er has been unhappy since his mother left, and has been stuck in books and accounts every day. Always lighting a lamp to boil oil, tossing myself without sleep or food.

As a father, I can't persuade him, and I don't know how to take care of him better. I know that I have been sorry to the two brothers these years, and I have always wanted to find a chance to make up for them... and Yu'er is only with you..."

Xue Chengyu raised his lowered eyes when he heard this, it turns out that Master Xue has not lived happily these years.After all, for a family like the Xue family, there are always some things that don't go well.

"Five years ago, he became paralyzed and couldn't move, and became even more taciturn and decadent. Yu'er has obviously been much happier in the three years since you came to Xue's house.

The person he cares about most is you, I can't harm my own son for the sake of the so-called family reputation!I can't watch him fall into the abyss of decadence again!Can't let him suffer forever! "

After hearing the last three sentences, Xue Chengyu immediately knelt down, and it took him a moment to understand Master Xue's good intentions. Thinking of how he bumped into Master Xue just now, he felt a little heartbroken. There is no father in this world who does not think about his son ?

"My son is not filial. I thought that avoiding words would save my father's worries, but he didn't want to. I didn't think about it, and it was my fault for speaking out against him... I hope my father will not get angry and hurt his body."

Master Xue helped Xue Chengyu up, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "In the future, you will understand my hard work. There is a long way to go, and there are still many hurdles to go through. You all need to experience. Go out and help you Something to be busy with."

After Xue Chengyu and Xu Lang saluted Master Xue, they turned and exited the house. When they saw the sky outside the house, they vaguely felt a slight difference.But when he turned his head to look at Xu Lang, he was still the same as before.

It turned out that he was the only one who changed.
