After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

Yan Guiqiu's hands were hanging in the air, thinking of the rest of the Jiang family, he felt that he could understand Jiang Xuehe's anxiety.

It was obviously the place where she grew up since she was a child, but she failed to leave a trace.

No matter how strong you are, when you revisit your hometown and think about the past, you will inevitably feel sad.

Yan Guiqiu's heart softened in the end, and he reached out and patted Jiang Xuehe's back: "...Forget it, I'll be with you tonight."

Jiang Xuehe responded sullenly, and hugged Yan Guiqiu even tighter.

Those words were not intentional lies to keep the geese to return to the autumn.

If she went home before meeting Yan Guiqiu, she might not feel much when she saw the old room again.

But after meeting Yan Guiqiu, perhaps there was a comparison, which made her feel a little stuck in her throat.

As lovers, Yan Guiqiu seems to be a little clingy. After being together for such a long time, they are almost inseparable, and they get tired of being together as long as they have time.

Even Xiao He complained in private that they are much more bored than other young couples.

But Jiang Xuehe didn't think there was anything wrong——

The time she can spend with her lover in such a leisurely way may only be a few short months. When she really starts to get busy with the company, it is not impossible to not see her for a few months.

Under such a premise, it is only natural to seize every minute and every second you can get along with your lover.

However, looking back and thinking about it, the only person who has such an urgent need is actually Jiang Xuehe.

Yan Guiqiu has friends, classmates, various school activities, and her own hobbies. As long as she thinks about it, she will never feel bored.

On the contrary, staying with the same person for a long time is something that requires endless patience and perseverance, so as not to let pure enthusiasm be wiped out.

Sometimes Jiang Xuehe couldn't help thinking negatively, maybe Yan Guiqiu was at a disadvantage by choosing to be with her.

She bears a lot of pressure for no reason, but it is difficult to enjoy her selfless, pure and meticulous care and dedication to others.

After thinking about it again, Jiang Xuehe realized that there is no need to talk about whether you are in debt or not in a love relationship. This is not a business, and you must exchange for equal value.

If there must be something to exchange for, then perhaps there is only the word "sincerity".

Yan Guiqiu gradually fell asleep, and Jiang Xuehe lay beside her, watching her sleeping face, and finally relaxed slowly.

In a daze of consciousness, she couldn't help thinking——

Fortunately it was her.

When Yan Guiqiu made up his mind to show his sincerity to someone, probably very few people could refuse her.

When she opened her mouth and said she liked it, no one would not be moved.

Fortunately, she likes her.

Jiang Xuehe also slowly fell asleep.

The two people who came to Jiang's house slept well at night, but they didn't get up early enough the next morning.

When the two of them finished washing and went downstairs, Mrs. Jiang also woke up.

Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe were sitting at the table eating breakfast, when they heard a rush of footsteps upstairs, Mrs. Jiang ran down from upstairs, and the nanny chased after her, trying to put a coat on her.

"...Why didn't you wake me up last night?" Mrs. Jiang complained angrily, "I was sleeping when a guest came. Isn't that rude?"

The nanny hesitated to answer.

Although she was not in charge of this matter, but the owner lost his temper, there was no room for her to refute and defend.

This is also her experience over the years.

Jiang Xuehe had just finished his breakfast, when he heard the commotion, he looked up at his mother, and explained: "I told Auntie not to disturb your rest. Guiqiu wouldn't mind such trivial things."

Mrs. Jiang's face softened a little when she heard the words, but she still said meaningfully: "The guests are here, it's not good to do this anyway, don't do it next time."

Jiang Xuehe gave a noncommittal "hmm".

Yan Guiqiu had just finished his breakfast, and while they were talking, he sized up Mrs. Jiang from the corner of his eye.

Although it looked like she had just come down from upstairs, Mrs. Jiang had changed her clothes and even put on some light makeup before coming down.

I don't know if it's because it's really well maintained, or because it's covered up by makeup, and she looks much younger than her actual age.

Perhaps it was because she was at home and had no one to make her angry, so she looked much softer than when she was in the hospital last time.

Jiang Xuehe was very similar to his mother in appearance, but his temperament was completely different.

At first glance, he also has a gentle appearance, but compared to his mother, Jiang Xuehe's gentleness is more subtle, generous, and not aggressive, but it will not make people think that this person is easy to bully, and Mrs. Jiang...

Maybe it's not the right time, but a word popped up in Yan Guiqiu's mind in an instant——

Cuscuta flower.

Obviously they have similar looks, Mrs. Jiang is more mature and older, and she was able to go to university when she was young, and she was able to bully the Qin family before. No matter how you say it, it should not match this word.

But looking at her appearance and temperament when she was at home, the word got into her mind, but she still couldn't get it out.

Especially when Father Jiang came down.

For a person in his 50s, it doesn't seem out of harmony to snuggle into her husband's arms and act like a baby.

Yan Guiqiu was sitting in the same place watching the excitement, Jiang Xuehe touched her arm, indicating that she could leave after eating.

As soon as the two got up, Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses and came down to greet Yan Guiqiu.

In the beginning, as usual, she wanted to explain why she slept in and didn't come out to meet guests last night. Of course, she wouldn't say that she was depressed because she was grounded at home recently. Inadvertently overslept.

Of course she didn't blame anyone, she only blamed herself for being too sleepy, repeatedly asked Yan Guiqiu to forgive her, and asked her carefully if she slept well at night.

Yan Guiqiu was taken aback by her excessive enthusiasm, but soon she realized what it was for.

After Mrs. Jiang talked a lot, she got to the "topic".

"It's rare to come here, why did you come alone?" Mrs. Jiang asked tentatively, "I heard that your friend named Luan recently..."

"Mom." Jiang Xuehe interrupted her from the side, saying, "We are leaving."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned: "So fast? Do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Jiang Xuehe looked at the time and said, "Grandpa told me and Guiqiu to go there early in the morning."

Hearing Jiang Xuehe mentioned the old man, Mrs. Jiang's expression changed obviously, her face was a little stiff, but she didn't dare to say anything to dissuade her.

Jiang's father next to him stroked his wife's back reassuringly, and smoothed things over: "After all, the old man hasn't seen Xuehe for a long time, so he should tell her to come over and speak earlier."

Madam Jiang nodded stiffly.

"You rest at home first, I have to go to the company for a meeting, and I will come back to pick you up later." The rest of Jiang's father said to his wife.

Jiang Xuehe said goodbye to the two of them, and took Yan Guiqiu out.

The two stood at the intersection outside the community for a while, Yan Guiqiu thought they had to take a taxi, but did not expect a car to pick them up.

Jiang Xuehe pulled Yan Guiqiu into the back seat, greeted the driver, and introduced him to the people around him.

This is Mr. Jiang's driver. He has worked for him for more than ten years. It can be said that he almost watched Jiang Xuehe grow up.

Jiang Xuehe also had some respect for him, and he was Uncle Song when he spoke.

Uncle Song seems to be a very simple and honest middle-aged man with a strong body. No one would doubt him when he stood outside and said that he is a bodyguard, but since Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe got in the car, he has been smiling cheerfully. very good.

Jiang Xuehe asked him how many people had gone, and Uncle Song could tell one or two.

Mr. Jiang is getting old recently, and he can't do many things by himself, but his eldest grandson is not good enough to be able to take care of himself. He is even more worried about leaving it to his son, so he can only bring some work back to the old house to do.

The old house is in the suburbs, the air is fresh, away from the hustle and bustle, and it is also good for the body. The best hospital in the surrounding area is in the neighboring city. In case something happens, it is closer.

However, the old house is also equipped with a family doctor, and the old man's recent physical examination results are still healthy, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

But after staying in the old house for a long time, the biggest disadvantage is that it is a little deserted. The old man also started to like to call some old friends or juniors to have tea, dinner and chat from time to time, and he even raised three chefs in the old house for this purpose.

Usually, one or two people are invited to sit and sit. Like today, a large family is called to be present, and it is probably time for the New Year.

But counting five or six Spring Festivals ahead, there was no sign of Jiang Xuehe.

Most of the people already knew what the family dinner was actually for, but they were still in the doubt stage for the time being. The old man said that as long as there was nothing important, they would naturally come back to watch the excitement.

Uncle Song told Jiang Xuehe that so-and-so from a certain family had arrived at the old house, and Jiang Xuehe stopped by to explain in a low voice to Yan Guiqiu who was next to him.

The Jiang family has only made a fortune for three generations, but the number of people is not small.

Mr. Jiang gave birth to three sons and three daughters in his life, but the eldest son died young, and the three daughters were already married, and their abilities were not strong. They had the heart to share their father's worries, but they didn't have the ability.

The youngest son is too young, only about the same age as Jiang Xueyang, but his talent is dull, even worse than Jiang Xueyang.

Among the biological children, only the second son is left, that is, Jiang Xuehe's father is considered to have some ability, but his temperament is too bad, and Mr. Jiang never intends to consider him as a successor candidate.

Among the grandchildren, including Jiang Xueyang and Jiang Xuehe, there are only five children, and the other three are grandchildren.

But apart from Mr. Jiang, he also has many brothers, sisters and cousins ​​who started the business with him at the beginning. The elder brothers have basically passed away, but during the holidays, most of the children and grandchildren of the elder brothers also come to Jiang. Greetings from the old man.

Especially those who are closely related to Jiang's enterprises, they communicate more frequently, and the younger generation will not dare to disobey the old man's words.

So this time, although it was only morning, many people had already arrived.

Jiang Xuehe didn't expect Yan Guiqiu to remember everyone in the Jiang family, and she wouldn't have too many contacts in the future, so she only focused on introducing a few cousins ​​and others who had a good relationship with her.

It sounds like there are only a handful of them, but when he actually arrived at the old house, Yan Guiqiu discovered that Jiang Xuehe was actually very popular.

Most of the people hanging out outside were children of the same generation or the younger generation. Jiang Xuehe called his elder brothers and sisters to hold the children in turn, greeted her enthusiastically, and taught his children to call people.

Jiang Xuehe didn't expect so many people to come, and he didn't bring any red envelopes, so he smiled and greeted and said to make up for it next time.

Along the way, there were very few people who neglected or put on face to Jiang Xuehe.

Yan Guiqiu realized after thinking about it for a while, the current head of the Jiang family is still Mr. Jiang, and the direct grandchildren are only Jiang Xueyang and Jiang Xuehe, and it is well known that Jiang Xueyang's talent and ability are not comparable to his younger sister.

Outsiders might laugh at Jiang Xuehe's lack of courage behind his back, but the people of the Jiang family met the old man a lot, so they could sort out some meanings.

At least it is obvious to all that the old man is not satisfied with Jiang Xueyang these years.

The two brothers and sisters are not too old, and the old man is in good spirits. Seeing that he still has more than ten or twenty years of life, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.

Rather than taking the risk of offending one of them and being liquidated in the future, it is better to close your eyes and just be ordinary relatives, let them fight in private, and never mention the company's affairs when encountering them, only talk about who's married, who's pregnant, who Little things like children's birthdays to chat and joke.

At first glance, it is really no different from visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.

Mr. Jiang was in the study, and when he heard that Jiang Xuehe was coming, he asked someone to take her and Yan Guiqiu there.

Yan Guiqiu was carrying a bunch of special products, and when he stood at the door, he had to take a deep breath before he dared to see Jiang Xuehe knocking on the door.

"Come in." The old man's voice came from the study.

Through a heavy door, one could hear that the old man was in good spirits.

Jiang Xuehe directly pushed open the door, and pulled Yan Guiqiu in.

There is no one else in the study at the moment, and through the window, you can see a large lawn and flower beds outside, probably a small garden elsewhere, and no one is walking around in it at this time.

Mr. Jiang was writing. He put the brush aside after finishing the last one. He raised his head and saw Jiang Xuehe unconsciously smiled, and then stiffened his face.

"It's been so long since I've been back, I don't know how to come back to see the old man, you little heartless." Old man Jiang complained.

Obviously he himself got angry before, and he didn't want Jiang Xuehe to see him.

In a moment of anger, Jiang Xuehe did what he wanted.

But at the moment, no one wants to go deeper and say those disappointing things.

Jiang Xuehe smiled and didn't argue, just said: "It's my fault."

Then she turned her head, motioned for Yan Guiqiu to put the things by the door, and introduced Yan Guiqiu's identity to the old man.

He didn't mention anything about the Yan family, only that he went to school in Yunhua City.

But there is no need for Jiang Xuehe to mention it deliberately, Mr. Jiang must already know about it.

It was probably the first time in Yan Guiqiu's life that he felt such a great pressure. When Mr. Jiang looked up at her, he almost subconsciously held his breath, and unconsciously straightened his waist.

Fortunately, Mr. Jiang didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, on the contrary, his attitude was kind.

"Yunhua is going to college? A high-achieving student." Mr. Jiang asked, "I heard Xuehe said that he will be graduating soon?"

"Yes, I will graduate in June." Yan Guiqiu replied honestly, "But I will continue my postgraduate studies in the second half of the year."

Mr. Jiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good to go to school. Read as much as you can."

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Guiqiu for a few more times, then turned his head and said to Jiang Xuehe: "Forget that you have found a treasure, treat her well, especially don't delay her from studying in the future, understand?"

Jiang Xuehe smiled helplessly, and naturally nodded in agreement.

But Yan Guiqiu was somewhat flattered by the old man's amiable attitude.

Before they actually met, she heard a lot of terrible rumors about Mr. Jiang from Jiang Xuyu. At first glance, it seemed that the big man's favorite thing to do was to sarcasm. Her sons and daughters were often buried by him. I don't have any scruples about who's face.

Before coming here, Yan Guiqiu was already mentally prepared, thinking that no matter what he said, he would be picked on by the old man—even Jiang Xuehe came here like this.

However, the fact is that Mr. Jiang's attitude is so kind that even Yan Guiqiu panicked.

Mr. Jiang glanced at her frightened expression, turned his mind, and immediately realized: "Is that brat Jiang Xuyu talking ill about me behind my back again?"

Yan Guiqiu subconsciously said, "I didn't say anything bad either."

Mr. Jiang understood: "That's what I said."

Yan Guiqiu: "..."

Sorry, she didn't want to either.

She silently mourned for Jiang Xuyu for two seconds in her heart.

Mr. Jiang wasn't really angry either, he was obviously used to it, but he still couldn't help snorting twice: "Isn't it just that I still remember what I told him to reflect at home? This kid can do nothing else, but holding grudges is a first-class spirit. .”

He was talking about Jiang Xuyu being kicked out of the company by Jiang Xueyang because of his sexuality.

Unlike directly feuding with Jiang Xueyang, Jiang Xuyu felt a bit of resentment towards Mr. Jiang. At that time, Mr. Jiang almost had the words "gay is a disease" hanging on his forehead.

However, that bit of resentment is more of a complaint against those close and respected who don't understand him, and it's not really hatred. In the past few years, he has been quite diligent in running to the old house on behalf of Jiang Xuehe.

Later, old man Jiang never used his sexuality to run against him or discriminate against him. After Jiang Xuehe left, Jiang Xuyu was also planning to leave, and old man Jiang even went to the door to persuade him to stay.

Seeing that Jiang Xuyu had indeed made up his mind to go, Mr. Jiang didn't stop him any more. Instead, he greeted people in the industry to take care of him in the early days of his business.

With this kind of bearing alone, Jiang Xuyu has always respected the old man.

However, Jiang Xuyu was not a serious person in the first place. After leaving the Jiang family, the old man was no longer his immediate boss, so he was particularly open-minded, and complained about the old man's character not once or twice in person.

However, the old man just appreciates this courageous and unflinching way of doing things, coupled with the connection with Jiang Xuehe, although he complains about it every day, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is actually pretty good.

"I thought about it for a while, and I did not do it properly." When Mr. Jiang talked about the past, he was still a little bit embarrassed, "I consulted experts later, and he likes men because he is born. If you have to blame it, you have to blame his parents, and if you go forward, there will be more, and you will not go to Huo Huo's girl to fight for the interests under the pressure. If you dare to act, at least you are responsible, so tell him to do other things And I will never steal, play tricks, or pass the buck..."

When Mr. Jiang talked about Jiang Xuyu, he was so eloquent that he could hardly stop.

Jiang Xuehe laughed beside him, and said, "Grandpa, if you tell Brother Xu Yu face to face, he won't be spreading rumors about you outside every day."

When Mr. Jiang heard the words, he subconsciously closed his mouth, tightened his face, and put on a serious and stern expression. It took a while to realize that the person involved was not there, smiled embarrassingly, and turned his head and snorted.

"That kid can't boast in front of his face. If he boasts that his tail can go up to the sky, he should beat him regularly to make him more modest and cautious."

To put it bluntly, it is hard-spoken.

In fact, it was the same when Jiang Xuehe said this, but in the end it had to reach Jiang Xuyu's own ears.

But it's easier than talking face to face.

In the final analysis, it was also because Jiang Xuyu's ability and character were revealed from the side of that incident. Mr. Jiang felt that he should not give up such a talent because of that insignificant prejudice.

Thanks to Jiang Xuehe's resolute and decisive reaction, it didn't really chill people's hearts.

In comparison, from Jiang Xueyang to Jiang's father, it can't be said that their ability is too weak to be seen, but they are all conservative people, and a little bit of public opinion can make them nervous.

However, the first reaction is by no means to seize the opportunity, but to avoid risks.

The most important thing is that a person who is so afraid of risks can completely lose his mind for someone.

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of the past about his unlucky son and daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted on his face.

"When it comes to dating and marriage, there is no difference between men and women in the final analysis. There is an additional procedure for having children between men and women, but if something bad is born, it is better not to have children." Mr. Jiang said, "Your father There is only one skill at such a big age - can give birth to a daughter."

It was not easy for Jiang Xuehe to answer these words, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and just smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Jiang also came to his senses, waved his hand, and said no more: "I won't say those useless words. I have nothing to do here. You can go out and talk to those brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters later. I haven't seen each other for many years, I will take a break and ask Xiao Zhang to call me before dinner."

Jiang Xuehe nodded in response.

She was about to take Yan Guiqiu away when she heard old man Jiang calling them back.

"Look at my memory." Mr. Jiang waved at Yan Guiqiu, beckoning her to come over, while opening the drawer under the desk, he took out a red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago, "Meeting ceremony, take it."

The thin red envelope should not contain too much money, but Yan Guiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to take it without any burden, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Mr. Jiang smiled cheerfully, nodded repeatedly, and said a few more times, telling her to study hard, and if she had any difficulties in school, she could come to him at any time.

Yan Guiqiu could only nod with a dry smile, saying that the old man is really obsessed with going to school.

When Jiang Xuehe dragged Yan Guiqiu out, he explained to her in a low voice when no one was around: "Grandpa started subsidizing poor students to go to school more than 30 years ago, but it was in private, and he didn't publicize it to the outside world."

It means that this is the truth, not an excuse to perfuse Yan Guiqiu.

Yan Guiqiu can naturally feel that Mr. Jiang is really sincere, but it is completely different from the impression he constructed in his mind at the beginning, and he can't react for a while.

But if you look at it from the old man's point of view...

Yan Guiqiu would rather give up the inheritance rights that symbolize interests and are fought by many people, but also persevere in reading the book.

This passion for reading is simply overwhelming.

"I think he really likes you. It's rare for him to be so enthusiastic about someone he met for the first time." Jiang Xuehe said, glanced at the red envelope in Yan Guiqiu's hand, and motioned to her, "Open it up." have a look."

"Huh?" Yan Guiqiu took off the seal and guessed, "It should be just one—"

It is also a custom to give red envelopes when meeting for the first time.

But the two families are not short of money, how much to give is a problem, even if a thick wad of money is sealed in the red envelope, it may not be worth a fraction of a month's pocket money for the young ladies.

Some people who care about how much they get will feel that this is not taken seriously.

It's better to give less, tacitly, just go through the motions to get a lottery.

If it's true feelings, naturally it's not because of the red envelopes from the elders.

But Yan Guiqiu opened the red envelope, touched the contents inside, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"What is it?" Jiang Xuehe asked, seeing Yan Guiqiu's expression, he knew it was definitely not the largest denomination banknote.

"..." Yan Guiqiu took out the contents silently, and gave Jiang Xuehe a look, "It seems to be a check."
