"Xiao Lan, you...you don't want to be like this, okay?"

Xiao Qiong walked up to her younger sister and grabbed her hand. For some reason, the moment Xiao Lan felt the warmth of her hand, she couldn't help crying anymore.

The man looked at his sister who kept crying, and suddenly became at a loss.

He hugged the girl in his arms in a panic, and then patted her on the back lightly.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Xiao Qiong whispered in Xiao Lan's ear.

"Hit me, as long as you can relieve your anger."

Lying in this cold embrace, Xiao Lan suddenly felt sad for some reason, and she also felt sorry for this man.

Because she knew that Xiao Qiong had done too much for her, but...

But this time, that man was their biological father after all.

Although he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, the blood bond between them connected them tightly.

If you cut off this fate with your own hands, it would be really... a very cruel thing.

"I'm...only you now."

Xiao Qiong closed her eyes, and many pictures appeared in her mind in an instant.

He thought that he might meet many people in his life, but only his sister was his last support.

"Sorry……"

However, according to the man's personality, he really doesn't know what to say to comfort others, so now he can only apologize to the girl over and over again.

"you really are……"

Xiao Lan sighed helplessly, sniffed, and came out of the man's embrace.

"What are you going to do next?"

The girl thought that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless for her to complain anymore. It seemed that all this was arranged by fate.

"I plan to...inherit his company."

"Ji, inherit the company?"

Xiao Lan froze for a moment, then shook her head resolutely.

"I don't think it's that easy."

The man smiled at the girl when he heard it.

"It's okay, I have a way."

Xiao Lan looked at her brother's confident face, and didn't say anything else.

"Be careful..."

"I know."

After hearing these words, Xiao Qiong suddenly felt very heartwarming. He might be criticized by many people because of this incident, but it really doesn't matter if he has his sister's concern.

Xiao Qiong hurriedly asked his sister to rest, and he had to make some preparations, because tomorrow, he was going to fight a tough battle.

And just when Xiao Lan had already fallen asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Qiong understood that there was only one person who could be found at such a late hour.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the strange expression on Li Huan's face, the man thought for a while before turning sideways to let her in.

"It's such a big deal, can I not come?"

As soon as Li Huan entered the room, he seemed to be very tired and sat on the sofa.

"I said Xiao Qiong, you..."

At this time, the woman really didn't know how to describe his decisive brother.

"Why don't you discuss it with me?"

Li Huan frowned, looking at the man's impatient face.

"Why should I discuss it with you?"

the man asked back.

"you……"

Li Huan suddenly choked on this sentence.

"After all...it concerns the entire Xiao family. You really caught me off guard."

Li Huan sighed heavily, as if she was very tired, she reached out and rubbed her temples.

"And, after all, he is still...our father."

"Do you have to be so ruthless?"

However, Xiao Qiong sneered disdainfully after hearing this.

"Let's be honest, Li Huan, are you happy with the result now?"

The woman fell silent after hearing this, Xiao Qiong still pursued after seeing this.

"You are happy, aren't you? After all these years, you also hate that man."

Xiao Qiong's words were like a knife, piercing through Li Huan's heart one by one.

What he said is true.

Li Huan sighed, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Don't say..."

Xiao Qiong clicked his tongue, got up and took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet.

He poured a glass and placed it in front of the woman.

Li Huan raised his head and glanced at him, hesitated for a moment and picked it up.

"What are you going to do next?"

The woman raised her head and took a sip.

"I'll go to the board of directors tomorrow."

"Board of Directors?"

Li Huan froze for a moment, seeming a little worried.

"Can you handle it?"

However, Xiao Qiong didn't look very worried.

"of course."

The woman looked at him with a fearless expression, but she didn't say anything after all.

"Mother's side...you leave it to me."

Xiao Qiong froze for a moment after hearing the woman's words, and then said.

"You don't have to do this for me."

Li Huan smiled indifferently.

"Okay, you don't have to be polite to me, after all..."

The woman stopped suddenly when she said this, and then she drank the red wine in the glass.

"I'm leaving, good luck."

Xiao Qiong looked at the woman's movements inquiringly, and seemed to have guessed what she hadn't said just now.

"correct……"

Li Huan stood at the door and turned around.

"You... take good care of Xiao Lan."

The man understood everything in an instant. It seemed that Li Huan really wanted to show them his sincerity this time.

Xiao Qiong smiled and agreed.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Huan then nodded in relief and walked out.

However, Tao Tao's heart was also tense. Just now, Jiang Jinchen told himself that Xiao Jin's company would hold a board meeting tomorrow, saying that it was to elect a temporary person in charge before the trial was over there.

In fact, it is said to be the temporary person in charge, but anyone with a discerning eye knows the meaning of it.

"Will the board of directors trip Xiao Qiong?"

Tao Tao thought that something like that might really happen.

Jiang Jinchen also affirmed it.

"It will definitely be. The people there used to be under Xiao Jin's command, so they would be exploited by that man to some extent and harbor hatred."

"And now that Xiao Jin is down, his company will definitely become their target."

However, Tao Tao was very puzzled at this time.

"Didn't Xiao Jin's company be founded by himself, so the only one who can succeed him is his son?"

Jiang Jinchen smiled and shook his head.

"You have to know, those people are forced to do anything, but they can do anything."

Sure enough... Tao Tao finally understood this matter.

So Xiao Qiong knew that he might be entangled by people from the board of directors, so he asked Jiang Jinchen for help.

For some reason, Tao Tao was nervous for these two people. Although she didn't understand it very well, she knew that this matter must be difficult to handle.

And... I don't know when Xiao Jin's trial will come down.

"Would you like to come with me tomorrow?"

"Eh?"

Tao Tao listened to the tone of the man on the phone suspiciously, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"I, I don't really understand..."

"That's what."

Jiang Jinchen bent his lips and smiled, and then said.

"It just so happens that you come over to take a look and accumulate some experience for the future."

Really... Tao Tao just wanted to give him a big roll of the eyes at this time, such an experience... She probably won't be able to use it in her life.

But Tao Tao thought about it carefully, and decided to take a look, after all, she really cared about this matter.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

So the two agreed.

Tao Tao received a notice from the school before going to bed, saying that all Xiao Qiong's classes will be suspended tomorrow.

It was only then that she remembered that if Xiao Qiong really succeeded his father's company, would he resign from the school.

Tsk... It's a pity, after all, he is really an excellent scholar.

So Tao Tao fell into a deep sleep in an extremely regretful mood.

The next day, Tao Tao got up early in the morning, she glanced at the darkness under her eyes, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

"What did you do behind my back yesterday?"

Meng Yuqian smacked her mouth and looked at Tao Tao speechlessly.

"I... really didn't do anything."

Tao Tao's current mood is really wanting to cry without tears.

However, Meng Yuqian still looked suspicious.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

The girl cleared her throat, and looked at Tao Tao who was still confused.

"Are you going to Xiao Jin's company later?"

Tao Tao reacted after hearing this, and she quickly packed her things.

Meng Yuqian stood in a mess in the wind.

"Would you like to come with me?"

Tao Tao walked over and put her arms around Meng Yuqian's shoulders, but the girl shook her head and refused.

"Forget it, it's useless if I go."

"And, today I... still have to..."

However, before Meng Yuqian could finish speaking, Tao Tao turned her back with a big wave of her hand.

"Walk slowly without sending."

Tsk tsk tsk, woman in love.

"Hey……"

Meng Yuqian looked at the girl's back silently.

"Please, if you want to go, you should go first."

"Forehead……"

Tao Tao stopped to think for a while, and found that this was indeed the case.

"Ahem, let's see you tonight."

After the girl finished speaking, she picked up the things on the table and ran out quickly.

Really... Meng Yuqian shook her head helplessly, and then slowly tidied herself up.

As expected, Tao Tao saw Jiang Jinchen standing outside the car as soon as she went out.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

The man opened the car door as he spoke.

"I bought you breakfast."

Then Tao Tao saw the breakfast bag on the co-pilot's seat.

"Mr. Jiang is so caring."

Tao Tao raised her eyebrows, and looked at the man with loving eyes.

Jiang Jinchen was also taken aback, "You...be normal."

……

Tao Tao almost couldn't resist punching him in the face.

The two chatted all the way to Xiao Jin's company. Tao Tao raised her head and looked at this magnificent high-rise building, feeling that it was really hard to build such a company.

"Let's go in."

Jiang Jinchen said that he was about to hold Tao Tao's hand, but Tao Tao suddenly remembered something.

"No, we can't do that."

The man froze for a moment when he heard it, and looked at the girl suspiciously.

However, Tao Tao solemnly stretched out a finger and shook it left and right.

"This will have a bad influence on you, Mr. Jiang."

What... The man smiled helplessly, and once again took the girl's hand.

"Why, I hold my girlfriend's hand, do I still need to care about other people's eyes?"

This man... Tao Tao knew that she couldn't beat him, so she had no choice but to let this man lead her into the building.

However, what Tao Tao didn't expect was that they saw Xiao Qiong's figure in the hall.

Compared to Xiao Qiong who was talking to someone, he saw two people coming from the corner of his eye.

"You guys came early."

The man came over and greeted the two of them.

For some reason, Tao Tao suddenly felt that Xiao Qiong seemed to have changed a little.

It seems to have become... not so cold?
Maybe, after people have experienced some things, there will always be some changes.

"you do not need to worry."

Jiang Jinchen took a look at Xiao Qiong and found that he was dressed very formally today.

"Ok, I know."

The three of them went upstairs while chatting.
