After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

All eyes were on Father Jiang.

Father Jiang frowned slightly, with a disapproving expression on his face, obviously not intending to take back his words.

A dead silence spread to the next table.

After an unknown period of silence, Mr. Jiang regained his senses first.

"Eat." Mr. Jiang said lightly, "Come to my study later."

This is not ready to argue with him in front of everyone.

But it also reflected Mr. Jiang's attitude from the side.

At best, it means convincing that Father Jiang's opinion may not be that important.

However, the atmosphere at the table became deserted. It wasn't until Mr. Jiang got up and left the table first, Father Jiang comforted Mrs. Jiang, followed closely by others, that the others dared to raise their voices.

As soon as Mr. Jiang walked to the door, he looked back at Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe, and said, "Come over after you finish eating."

The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment. They didn't say anything, they just nodded in response.

After sitting there meaningfully for a while, Jiang Xuehe got up and led Yan Guiqiu towards the study.

The door of the study was not closed tightly, and when the two reached the door, they heard Father Jiang's voice coming from inside.

The two subconsciously stopped.

"...What kind of true love is love at first sight?" Father Jiang said, "It's just a love affair. If it's just for fun, how can we as elders take it seriously?"

Mr. Jiang snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "When you hooked up with a female college student, why didn't you see such 'consciousness'?"

Father Jiang was at a loss for words.

Back then when he insisted on being with his wife, the reason he gave at the beginning was love at first sight, and since then she has to be her.

Although he did finally achieve that he would not marry unless she was the only one, but using this kind of reason to suppress the younger generation seemed unconvincing.

Father Jiang was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "We can't make fun of Xuehe's lifelong events."

Mr. Jiang didn't speak.

So Father Jiang continued: "I know you are dissatisfied with our finding a marriage partner for Xuehe, but we have also carefully screened those people. crane."

Mr. Jiang motioned for him to continue.

Jiang's father bit the bullet and continued: "We can't keep her at home for a lifetime. In the future, if she becomes a big girl, she should be laughed at. It's too late to regret it. The feelings are all out of place. We all know the basics, and it will only be good for our family's company, and there will be no harm. When the time comes to have two children, she will have the confidence to gain a foothold."

"Like her mother's 'confidence'?" Mr. Jiang sneered, "Relying on the child to 'marry into a wealthy family', not having to produce, and wasting all his knowledge, nothing but parties all day long. After so many years, it's just watching The vision of luxury goods is still a bit advanced.”

"... She also helped us connect with other families, and she also made a contribution. Moreover, she has no credit but also hard work for raising two children." Jiang's father gritted his teeth and defended in a low voice, "And I was the one who didn't let She went out to work, her health is not good, I am a big man, I can't ask her to go out and work for me, it's not like I can't afford her..."

He didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to himself.

The old man has never been pleasing to his daughter-in-law, but after Jiang Xuehe was born, his attitude has indeed softened a lot, and he never really embarrassed her face to face.

Even Jiang's father gave his wife a false job in an insignificant place in the company, and the old man turned a blind eye and closed his eyes as if he didn't see it.

Like the "beating" on the dinner table today, it was rare in the past.

However, Jiang's father was not very comfortable hearing his father's straightforward dissatisfaction and targeting of his wife. He respected his father, but he did not want his wife to be criticized by anyone.

"Benefits? Hard work?" Mr. Jiang sneered, "Then do you know that one Jiang Xuehe can create more value in our company than two you plus Jiang Xueyang?"

The benefits that Jiang Xuehe can get from staying in the company, and the benefits that the company can get because of her, are far more than letting her marry.

Marriage can only get a short-term help from a certain company, and it also needs to be a human relationship transaction. Jiang Xuehe's stay in the company can indeed bring benefits to the company and even lead to a higher level. talent.

At the beginning, it was Jiang Xuehe who said he wanted to leave. Although Mr. Jiang was angry, he couldn't force her.

He also knows where the roots are.

"You should be lucky, Xuehe is a person who cares about old feelings. She remembered the kindness you treated her in the past, and she took the initiative to back down. Otherwise, how could you come in and out of the company so glamorously today to talk to me? Where can I ask for food!"

Mr. Jiang glanced at his son who was silent but resisted silently, and his heart was full of hatred.

Doesn't he want to leave the company directly to his son?

It should be said that the son inherited the father's business. When the time comes, he will leave the company to his son. How and who will inherit the company in a hundred years, then the children and grandchildren should have their own blessings. .

However, the son's ability is not outstanding enough, but he gave birth to a talented daughter.

Comparing the two, the blind know who to choose.

Even if he directly passed his son and was succeeded by his grandchildren, there shouldn't be any problems in the first place. Mr. Jiang now only has two grandchildren, and no matter how young he is, he may not be able to live until the day they grow up and show their talents .

So the heir can only be chosen from these two people.

No matter which one succeeds, they are his own biological parents, and they will certainly not treat them badly in the future.

But the parents put themselves on the opposite side of their daughter first.

As early as when Jiang Xuehe was still in college and first joined the company, Jiang's father kept making small trips in secret, and Jiang Xueyang was added later.

They thought they were doing it covertly, and thought it would be enough to just drive Jiang Xuehe out of the company, but Jiang Xuehe and Mr. Jiang had long seen that trick.

Not to mention how much Jiang Xuehe, who was doted on since he was a child, was hit hard, even Mr. Jiang was very disappointed in them.

However, Jiang Xuehe was thinking about his old love, and chose to give in under the repeated coercion and lure of his parents.

Mr. Jiang recognized Jiang Xueyang as his heir, and he also wanted to repay that favor for Jiang Xuehe.

He took a longer-term perspective than Jiang Xuehe, knowing that Jiang Xueyang's character would inevitably go wrong in the future, and it would be better if he was shocked to be able to get around a little bit.

If Jiang Xueyang hadn't progressed like this, even if Jiang Xuehe didn't come back, Mr. Jiang wouldn't be able to rest assured that he would put his whole life's hard work into his hands.

Before, Mr. Jiang even considered training Jiang Xuyu in the past.

After living for a long time and seeing a lot, Mr. Jiang gradually didn't care so much about the traditional way of thinking that must be inherited by blood.

It is naturally best to let future generations inherit the family business.

But if you know that your offspring are trash that will ruin your family business, you might as well give it to a talented outsider, at least you can be famous in the world for a long time.

These thoughts have been lingering in Mr. Jiang's heart for a long time, and he has never said it to his son. He still has tiny expectations in his heart, hoping that they can become more mature. If he can really take up the responsibility and realize his own problems, he will also You don't have to worry about the past.

It's a pity that they never seemed to reflect on themselves, instead they took Jiang Xuehe's retreat for granted.

Now it is even more aggressive, and even wants to arrange the marriage.

"...That's not the same thing." Jiang's father was silent for a long time, and finally he couldn't help defending himself, "I really do it for her own good, and it's not just to use her to get her to marry , just for her to be more secure in the future, even if in the future..."

He paused, as if he suddenly realized something, swallowed the rest of the words, and only said: "It's easy to talk about other things, but the company's affairs... only Xuehe can't."

Mr. Jiang asked him: "Why is Xuehe not the only one?"

Father Jiang hesitated for a long time, but failed to give a clear answer.

This is also a question that Mr. Jiang has always wondered about.

When Jiang Xuehe was young, Jiang's father and Mrs. Jiang's kindness to her was also true, and even Mr. Jiang had to avoid it.

When I was getting older, no major conflicts had occurred, and it seemed that they suddenly became indifferent all of a sudden.

However, Jiang Xuehe had never made any serious mistakes, and Mrs. Jiang's changes could still be traced. After realizing that her daughter might overwhelm her son to inherit the family, she changed her attitude.

Jiang's father was a bit unpredictable.

Long before Jiang Xuehe joined the company, Jiang's father mentioned his daughter less and less when he came to the old man's place. When his daughter was young, he even joked that she was a lucky star. When he grows up and joins the company, he might be able to change the company's feng shui. Help the family to a higher level.

Although this may be just a joke, it also shows that he also expected his daughter to create value for his company.

At first, the old man thought that he had a distorted mind because he was jealous of his daughter's talent, but he gradually began to think about whether there might be other reasons.

Jiang's father's attitude towards Jiang Xueyang and Jiang Xuehe is also obviously different.

Now the younger Jiang Xueyang is on his father's head, and Jiang's father has not shown the slightest dissatisfaction, and he has given him enough face in the company, and the intention of supporting him is very obvious.

With such a comparison, Mr. Jiang slowly came up with some unbelievable guesses.

"Do you think Xuehe doesn't look like you?" Mr. Jiang asked him abruptly.

Jiang's father froze obviously, and his expression changed a little.

Mr. Jiang was also taken aback.

He felt that such a guess was extremely absurd, but seeing Father Jiang's reaction, he seemed to have guessed what was on his mind.

"you……"

Mr. Jiang's expression changed.

However, before he could say anything, he heard a soft "bang" outside, as if someone had kicked the flower pot at the door.

The two people in the room were chatting intently before they suddenly came to their senses that there were still people outside.

I don't know how long they listened.

Mr. Jiang closed his eyes, regained his composure, gave his son a cold look, and said, "You go out first."

Jiang's father lowered his head, slowly turned around and exited.

As soon as he opened the door, he faced the people outside.

Jiang Xuehe calmly called "Dad".

Yan Guiqiu next to him couldn't control the surprise on his face.

In contrast, Jiang Xuehe was overly calm, as if he had expected such a result long ago.

"Snow Crane." Old Man Jiang's voice came from the room, "You and Gui Qiu come in, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xuehe nodded slightly towards his father, and dragged Yan Guiqiu into the study.

This time she did not forget to close the door.

After a soft "bang", all sounds were isolated within the door.

Mr. Jiang originally wanted to say something to change the topic, but looking at Jiang Xuehe's expression, he had to mention it.

"...Did you already know?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xuehe nodded and said softly, "Once I heard them arguing in the room."

And even smaller times.

Mother touched her face, often showing nostalgia.

Mrs. Jiang had an "old lover" before and after giving birth to Jiang Xuehe, but she only treated her as a younger brother in name.

She originally had a younger brother, but he got lost when he was a teenager, and later found an unrecognizable corpse in a nearby reservoir. Some false hope.

When Mrs. Jiang was in college, she met a junior from the same school.

That elementary school brother was seven or eight points similar to her younger brother, and he wanted to get close to her. He called her "sister" and "sister" every day, and Madam Jiang couldn't help but soften her heart.

It's just that the age doesn't match, so Mrs. Jiang dare not admit it.

After Madam Jiang got married, he also kept in touch with their family.

Jiang's father heard about his wife's sadness when she was young, and he also intends to support this "brother".

However, this "brother" also unfortunately passed away in a car accident. After a long time, no one in the family gradually mentioned it.

To the rest of the Jiang family, he was just a nameless passer-by.

But until Jiang Xuehe grew up, this "passer-by" became the lingering shadow and grudge between them.

Even many years after the junior's death, Mrs. Jiang still couldn't forget it, and continued to pay respects every year. Among the two biological children, Jiang Xuehe, who looked more like herself and her "brother", was more favored.

Jiang's father couldn't help but wonder if his wife's nostalgia for her junior was really just a remembrance of her younger brother Aiwujiwu.

The number of times they actually quarreled over this was not too many, and Jiang Xuehe happened to overhear it once or twice. At first, she didn't take it to heart, but was worried that the relationship between her parents would be affected.

Later, when she came to her senses and thought about it again, she gradually realized what the reason and source of their quarrel was.

Father Jiang really loved Mrs. Jiang deeply.

Almost every quarrel ended with Mrs. Jiang crying until she was about to pass out.

For a long time after that, Jiang's father would not quarrel with her again, but instead pampered and coaxed her in everything until she felt better.

He won't really get to the bottom of it.

The only few times I blurted out because I couldn't control my emotions. Later, I don't know if I got used to it, or because I got older and became more calm, and gradually I didn't say much.

He clearly and casually suspects that his wife is going to hurt her heart, but those grievances have never been really resolved, they are just hidden deep in his heart.

So Jiang Xuehe became the target of his anger.

As for whether Jiang Xuehe is related by blood, it doesn't matter at all—at least at the beginning.

Mrs. Jiang's attitude was the source of his anxiety and even his tendency to attack.

And what about Mrs. Jiang?

She clearly knew the reason why her husband angered her daughter, but she chose to compromise and even obey when she only needed a paternity test certificate or a big fight to solve the problem.

As for whether all these years of life in a wealthy family had blunted her energy, or if there were some unspeakable reasons, or some other concerns, Jiang Xuehe himself did not know.

This is the fact, Jiang Xuehe thought it was ridiculous, but he didn't intend to investigate further.

For her, the whole thing couldn't be easier.

Her family used to love her very much, but one day, that love disappeared, and she returned the kindness they asked for, and never owed anything.

Hearing Jiang Xuehe talk about the past, Mr. Jiang frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

Yan Guiqiu was also a little surprised when he heard it.

It's not that he was surprised by the hidden things in the past, but he didn't expect Jiang's father to neglect his beloved daughter just because of this reason.

It is said that when Mrs. Jiang was pregnant with someone's child, Jiang's father would bravely jump out to take over the offer, but when he came to Jiang Xuehe's place, it caused her to suffer an indiscriminate disaster.

Mr. Jiang caught a glimpse of Yan Guiqiu's expression and thought that she was also questioning Jiang Xuehe's blood relationship.

"There's already been a precedent, and that idiot didn't even think about how I could allow it to happen a second time!" Mr. Jiang was upset and could only scold his son who had done countless stupid things.

He had already investigated Mrs. Jiang's affair in the past, otherwise he would not have strongly objected to her coming in.

When Jiang Xuehe was born, Mr. Jiang didn't seem to be very relieved, and he still went through the necessary procedures.

There is no doubt that Jiang Xuehe is the blood of the Jiang family.

This was confirmed by Mr. Jiang a long time ago. He was just worried that the couple would blame him because of their renunciation, so he didn't tell them directly.

Of course, his preference for Jiang Xuehe wasn't just because of blood relationship.

More importantly, what Jiang Xuehe inherited was almost all the advantages of his parents.

For example, Mrs. Jiang's beauty, Jiang's father's concentration.

As for those negative things, such as Mrs. Jiang's pettiness, ruthless methods, Jiang's father's strict discipline and lenient treatment of himself... none of them can be seen in Jiang Xuehe.

Mr. Jiang also said bluntly that the two of them gave birth to such a daughter because of bad bamboo shoots and burning incense.

"Forget it, you two idiots!" Mr. Jiang frowned, as if he didn't know how to scold. Finally, he looked up at the two people standing in front of him, sighed involuntarily, and swallowed those ugly words back. Help you scold them again."

"No need." Jiang Xuehe smiled, but he didn't seem to care too much, "Knowing that Grandpa is still on my side, I'm already very moved."

Mr. Jiang heard that there was something in her words, and his heart skipped a beat: "Oh?"

He paced in front of the desk in silence for a moment, slowly calmed down, looked at the closed door, and sat down behind the desk.

"Tell me, what are your plans?" Mr. Jiang asked.

"I want to gain a firm foothold in Yunhua City first." Jiang Xuehe said softly, "Our company's center of gravity has always been in the south of Yanling, but there is a lot to do in the north. Although Yunhua City is not the most prominent in all aspects, But it is very comprehensive, and the location is also very good. The transportation hub almost connects all the surrounding cities together..."

Mr. Jiang listened carefully to her analysis and nodded from time to time.

Yunhua City is not a very prosperous big city, and there are few young and middle-aged people. Except for local enterprises, few large enterprises focus on this area.

But it also has its own advantages, but not many people have paid attention to it yet.

Jiang Xuehe had thought about it for a long time. In the past, he had many worries when he thought about setting up a new family from scratch, but if he relied on the Jiang family, it would be much easier to advance many things.

She is a person with extraordinary action ability. After making up her mind, she has even sketched out a rough plan.

Originally, he planned to say hello first, and later formally raise a proposal when he had time, but at this moment, Mr. Jiang was angry because of Jiang's father, and he was obviously guilty and distressed for Jiang Xuehe.

Jiang Xuehe simply seized the opportunity to chat with his grandfather.

One is to tell him that the focus of my attention now is entirely on my career, and I will not be sad and tearful because of the trivial matter of my family's neglect and anger.

Secondly, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot. It is rare for the old man to be soft-hearted. Even if there are some minor problems, there is still room for her to improve.

"...Brother Xuyu is still sorting out the specific plan." Jiang Xuehe finally said, "I'll ask him to send it as soon as possible later."

Mr. Jiang nodded, obviously listening. He even stretched out his hand to look at the table and asked a few small questions.

Yan Guiqiu stood aside, but he didn't look embarrassed, he listened more seriously than the old man, his expression changed a few times, as if he had some opinions to say.

But in the end she didn't take the initiative to speak.

Mr. Jiang glanced at her, and when he was about the same as Jiang Xuehe mentioned, he stopped, coughed lightly, and tried to put his expression as calmly as possible: "Guiqiu, do you have any ideas?"

Yan Guiqiu shook his head and said, "No."

Mr. Jiang pointed out several big questions, and Jiang Xuehe obviously thought about it. With the help of Mr. Jiang, she could make up her mind better.

The rest are localized and regional issues, which cannot be clarified by those who have not done field research.

But Jiang Xuehe said beside him: "I think after this month, if the Yan family is free, invite them to Grandpa's place to discuss the engagement."

Mr. Jiang glanced at her: "Didn't you seem reluctant just now? Why are you so active now?"

He intended to ridicule, saying that she seemed to be afraid of people's repentance and ran away with such an appearance.

But thinking about her father's attitude, it was indeed quite disappointing.

"I'm not reluctant, I just think it's not necessary for the time being." Jiang Xuehe replied seriously, "Engagement is not just about casually inviting the family to dinner. Auntie is also very busy, maybe it’s not that convenient.”

In that short moment, Jiang Xuehe had considered many practical issues.

Maybe I had thought about it in my heart, so I came to a conclusion all at once.

Mr. Jiang asked again: "Then why are you not afraid of inconvenience now?"

"I can't control what my parents think, but this is my attitude and has nothing to do with them." Jiang Xuehe said, "My confidence and sense of security in the future can only be related to Guiqiu."
