One morning a few days later. Summer is coming to an end, and there are still a few days until the beginning of autumn.
It rained all night last night, and the lawn outside the small western building was wet with rain.
The air after the rain is extraordinarily fresh, with a hint of earth and tulip scent in the air. It also smells very unique.
Seriously, he got up very early. He is over 50 years old, but his body is still strong. He wakes up early every morning at 4 or 5 a.m. to exercise. After that, he has breakfast, reads books and newspapers, and then goes to the military region to handle official duties.
In the study on the second floor, Serious Qing is reading today's newspaper.
But what I read was not the morning newspaper of city c, but the daily newspaper of Xiahai city. The newspaper printed photos of Shao Jun and Xu Nianyi on large colorful pages, with a line of eye-catching handwriting underneath.
It was nothing more than the news that Shao Jun was about to get rid of his status as a golden bachelor and officially married Xu Nianyi.
As a well-known entrepreneur in Xiahai City, it is very common for Shao Jun to be noticed by the media. Especially for breaking news such as marriage news, of course, it should be reported in as much space as possible.
Seriously sitting on the sandalwood grand master chair in front of the desk, he carefully read the contents of the newspaper, his solemn expression looked very serious, although his expression was stern, but there was no sullen emotion in it.
After Seriously finished reading the newspaper in his hand, the silence in the study was broken by a few knocks on the door.
"Who?" Seriously put down the newspaper and looked towards the door of the study.
Outside the door, came a gentle and courteous response: "My father is me."
"Ah Kuan." Hearing the response, he glanced solemnly at the door, then turned his eyes back to the newspaper in his hand, and flipped through the morning newspaper of City C, "Come in."
Squeak.
The door opened.
Yan Kuan walked in lightly, walking cautiously, as if he was afraid of disturbing serious reading of the newspaper. Because the temperature was a bit low after the rain in the morning, he was wearing a long-sleeved cherry pink checkered shirt, the buttons on the chest were neatly buttoned, and there was not a single open button. The collar of the clothes was also turned out according to the rules, and the collar was turned up very skillfully, without any wrinkles.
Facing the morning light coming in from the window, he stood in front of the solemn and clear body. In the twilight morning light, he was wearing a tight-fitting shirt, his gentle and handsome appearance was very good-looking, he looked innocent and harmless, like a college student who had just graduated and was ignorant of the world.
Yan Kuan stood firm beside the desk, his black eyes as warm as a deer looked at Serious Qing quietly, and said softly, "Father."
"Tell me something?" Serious Qing asked directly, but his eyes did not move away from the newspaper.
"Yes." Yan Kuan nodded respectfully, "Mother has something to ask you, and she said she would talk to you after dinner."
"No need." Seriously refused without looking up, "I know what she wants to talk about. There is nothing to talk about, and the decision I made will not change."
"Father, I understand, but mother will probably talk to you in person later. After she knows your decision, she has some doubts." Yan Kuan's voice is full of respect, and his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, neither strong nor weak.
"What are you wondering about?" Hearing that Ji Zhen will talk to herself later, her serious eyes finally moved away from the newspaper and landed on Yan Kuan, "She wants to ask me why I would allow that girl Xu Nianyi to enter The gate of the Yan family?"
The corner of Yan Kuan's mouth twitched, and he smiled faintly: "Probably so."
"I don't want to quarrel with your mother because of this matter. You tell your mother that I decided to accept Xu Nianyi after careful consideration. Ah Jun is the eldest son of the Yan family anyway, and is your elder brother. With two children, the family members are thin, if people must be distracted because of Xu Nianyi's problem, it will not be good for the development of the group."
"Father means..." Yan Kuan's eyes were unusually bright, and he asked tentatively, "Have you accepted Xu Nianyi as my sister-in-law?"
"It doesn't count as accepting her. I just don't want to continue to have a relationship with Ah Jun because of this matter. Since Ah Jun went abroad, the relationship with us has become weaker and weaker. Now we are almost incompatible. Is it true? Do you want me to sever the father-son relationship with my son?" Serious Qing said here, he had already dropped the newspaper in his hand, his piercing eyes were full of helplessness, "Ah Jun's mother left early, if she really got stuck To that extent, his mother Quan Xia knows and will not forgive me. So, I don't want to be a villain anymore and continue to tear them apart."
"Besides, you have also seen the result of preventing them from getting together before. Ah Jun is determined to marry Xu Nianyi. The more I do, the more he will hate me and the more he will love Xu Nianyi. I can't really break Ah Jun's leg for a woman. No matter what I do, in the end Shao Jun's choice is Xu Nianyi. Instead of doing this, let him be done." Serious Qing rarely said so much, But this time, he didn't mean to stop. Instead, he continued, "Although Xu Nianyi's family life is in a mess, and there is an illegitimate sister in the family. But since Ah Jun can like her, it shows that this girl still has something to offer. In this case, I will give her a chance to let them get married. It can be regarded as a matter of your grandfather's mind."
"It can be seen that grandpa likes sister-in-law very much." Yan Kuan agreed with a smile.
"Yes, your grandfather likes Xu Nianyi very much. I am a son of his old man's wish, so I don't want to violate it too much. If that Xu Nianyi is really not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, then Ah Jun It will be dealt with naturally. Ah Jun is an adult, and I really shouldn't be too concerned about him. Besides, the family group will also need Ah Jun to come back to help in the future. So, let's deal with this matter first, and I have made my words very clear. Don't talk to me any more."
"Okay." The smile on Yan Kuan's face was still warm, and his bright eyes were filled with a pure smile, and he said happily, "Brother has been busy with his company outside these years, and I am busy with the internal affairs of the group. , I know that my ability is limited, if my eldest brother can come back to work together in the future, that would be great."
"I'm relieved if you can think like this. I was worried that you would be dissatisfied, thinking that I was partial to your elder brother." Serious Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"How could it be?" Yan Kuan shook his head with a smile, and said very heartily, "Brother and I grew up together, but the time we spend together these years is too little. If the elder brother comes back, we brothers can often We met."
"That's good." Nodding seriously and reassuringly, "If there is nothing else, I will continue to read the newspaper. Remember to tell your mother clearly what I just said."
"Okay." Yan Kuan nodded in response, and then he walked out of the room very politely as when he came in, and closed the door behind him.
After leaving the small western-style building, Yan Kuan took a shortcut along the cobblestone path and returned to his mother's residence. It was a beautiful medieval European residence with arched five-color windows and a balcony full of red roses. On the balcony of the second floor, the lady Ji Zhen was watering the roses with a kettle in her hand.
Ji Zhen was wearing a beautiful dark red western-style ruffled dress, a pair of ruby earrings on her earlobes, and two rings on the hand holding the water bottle, a platinum diamond ring and an emerald ring. In addition, Ji Zhen took good care of her. She is already 50 years old and still looks beautiful and elegant like a woman in her 30s.
After being far away, Yan Kuan took the initiative to call his mother: "Mom."
"How is the matter going? What did your father say?" On the balcony on the second floor, Ji Zhen immediately put down the kettle and looked at Yan Kuan with a rather nervous expression.
"I tested my father's tone, and my father directly refused to talk to you. He also told me that he had decided to accept Xu Nianyi into Yan's house, and he didn't want to have a problem with elder brother because of this kind of thing. In addition, grandpa also He thought so, so he has completely agreed to the marriage. He also said..." Yan Kuan's clear voice stopped abruptly, and he stood downstairs, looking at Ji Zhen hesitantly.
"What else did he say?" Ji Zhen took a step forward with concern, leaning against the wrought iron guardrail.
"Father also said that after the eldest brother gets married, he will consider letting the eldest brother return to the family's internal group and take over the group's projects." Yan Kuan lowered his head and lowered his voice a lot.
"Okay!" Ji Zhen pinched the railing and threw the kettle in her hand aside, "I knew he would think so! I guessed right!"
"Mother, if elder brother and Xu Nianyi get married, his relationship with father will ease. It seems that elder brother will return to Yan's family sooner or later, and he will take care of the group's affairs."
"He thinks well!" Ji Zhen immediately shouted angrily, holding the railing tightly with both hands, so hard that her knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of her hands burst, "I have worked so hard for this family. Over the years, you have been trained to be so good, and you are thriving in the enterprise. Aren’t you worrying about everything? What has he done for this family? You have worked so hard for so many years in this family In the end, your father still favors Yan Yan! If your father really lets Yan Yan intervene in the internal affairs of the group, will you still have a foothold in the group in the future? If Yan Yan is the head of the family, the Yan family will still have room for us to talk ?!"
"Mom, I know." Yan Kuan comforted, but saw Ji Zhen raised her hand and slapped hard on the iron railing, almost growling and said: "You don't know at all! I don’t understand! Why did we pay so much for the Yan family, yet solemn and clear still prefer the Yan Yan who opposed him? Isn’t it because your father never forgets that Shao Meixia! Why do you say that you have no feelings for Shao Meixia at all, but are forced to obey your parents? It's all bullshit! If he didn't have any feelings for Shao Meixia, he wouldn't be merciful to Yan Yan. He can forgive Yan Yan for being so rebellious and unfilial, which shows how much he wants Yan Yan to take over the group. thing!
Ji Zhen became more and more angry, and the elegant demeanor when she was watering the flowers just now disappeared completely, her beautiful face twisted angrily, and her vermilion lips let out a voice full of hatred: "Cooperate with all the hard work we have done for this family over the years. Everything is nothing compared to a dead person! Since he likes Shao Meixia so much, he couldn't let her go, so why did he marry me back then! He didn't admit his feelings for Shao Meixia, but in his heart, he just couldn't let her go! Years of hard work, all lost to a dead man! But he still refuses to admit it! How can you tell me to swallow this breath!"
