After Xiao Yao returned home, he began to contact his former sisters through various channels.

It is said that they are sisters, but in fact there are both men and women, but the men are all gay, so they are collectively called "old sisters".

In fact, to be serious, Xiao Yao has no real friends. On the surface, he is soft and weak and is good with everyone. In fact, he is quite snobbish. He basically rushes to catch money in his interpersonal relationships. Who are you? It is easy to make any kind of friends, so he is more familiar with [-]th-line small Internet celebrities, celebrities in the base circle, these people participate in birthday parties, it is not required to be familiar with birthday people, as long as they are rich They are all willing to join the circle, so even though he was a little late in notifying, most of them still enthusiastically agreed and wanted to join in.

After all, Zhou's rich and wealthy friends will also come to the birthday party of Mr. Zhou's family. This is a carnival for their internet celebrities.

Xiao Yao naturally invited Zhou Haiquan to participate, but Zhou Haiquan said that he was not free: "Just have a meal together at noon."

At noon, Zhou Tong rushed back, and Zhou Siyu and Zhou Haidong also came back from school.After all, some occasions are not suitable for the whole family to go together. If everyone takes care of it, birthdays will not be fun, so the tradition of the Zhou family is to celebrate birthdays. The family members have a good meal at noon, and they can go out to have fun with their friends at night. .

Xiao Yao was quite nervous, because since he entered this house with Zhou Hairong for the first time, this was the second time he had dinner with the whole Zhou family.

The little girl Zhou Siyu also likes her, and she is easy to get along with. He is actually quite afraid of Zhou Tong, especially after seeing the video of her pointing at Fu Qingfang and scolding her, he feels that this eldest sister-in-law should be more powerful than she looks on the surface.I don't know what Zhou Tong thinks of him, and whether he likes him or not.

When Zhou Tong came back, it was Zhou Haiquan who picked him up in person. The relationship between them is the closest.When Zhou Tong saw him, he asked, "Is the second child separated from his partner, Xiao, or something?"

Zhou Haiquan said, "No."

Zhou Tong was particularly surprised: "It seems that the second child is serious this time."

"This is how long." Zhou Haiquan said.

Zhou Tong just laughed and said, "That's true, he's the longest one, more than three months."

Zhou’s family actually didn’t think much of their couple. Before Zhou Tong left last time, he also told Zhou Haiquan to keep it under control: “The second child’s 3-minute enthusiasm was never a result of love. He said that it was different this time. Seriously this time, don't believe everything. It's okay to be in a relationship, but marriage is a big deal. Does he think marriage is like shopping, and you can just leave it if you don't like it?"

Zhou Haiquan is not the only feudal patriarch of the Zhou family. The eldest brother is like a father, and the elder sister is like a mother. As the eldest sister, Zhou Tong is one of the invisible patriarchs even though he doesn't care about things.

"Brother-in-law didn't come back with you this time?" Zhou Haiquan said while driving, "But I haven't seen him for half a year, so busy with work?"

Zhou Tong smiled, raised one arm and leaned against the car door, rubbed his chin slightly with his hand, and said, "As a doctor, that's it, what kind of meeting are you attending in Sweden now? I said it's my brother's birthday, do you want to?" Go, he said no time, I don't bother to ask him."

Zhou Haiquan didn't ask any more questions, and Zhou Tong said, "I'll stay a few more days when I come back from this trip. It's better to stay in China."

"You can stay as long as you want," Zhou Haiquan said.

But when Zhou Tong returned home, he was still a little surprised to see Zhou Siyu and Aunt Wang coming out to pick him up: "Didn't he move into our house, where?"

"He's busy," Aunt Wang said with a smile, "Hairong's birthday, he was planning a birthday party outside for him. He had been busy all day yesterday, and he went out early this morning. He said he had to see the final arrangements. Let’s go, we’ll definitely be back before lunch.”

Zhou Tong was about to say something, but the younger sister Zhou Siyu had already rushed over and hugged her waist and began to act like a baby.

Xiao Yao was not at home, Zhou Hairong and Zhou Haidong were playing chess on the fourth floor.Zhou Tong changed her clothes and went up, opened the door and scolded: "Okay, I ran all the way back, and you two refused to go down."

Zhou Haidong raised his head with a smile and said, "Sister, why are you so beautiful again?"

Zhou Tong sat down behind him with a smile, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhou Hairong's forehead: "Shouxing, why, you can't see me?"

Zhou Haidong said: "Second brother's king will be checked by me soon."

Zhou Hairong rubbed his chin, frowned, reached out to touch his "horse", Zhou Tong smiled and hit him: "You went wrong again."

Zhou Hairong quickly withdrew his hand, but Zhou Haidong had already shouted: "Mozi Mozi, Mozi Mozi, this is the rule!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over Zhou Hairong's king.

Zhou Hairong suddenly stood up angrily, his face flushed: "Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, you'll always lose!"

Zhou Haiquan also came in and said, "The second child lost again?"

"Has he ever won?" Zhou Tong asked with a smile.

"Then have you ever defeated big brother?" Zhou Hairong said angrily, "Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps!"

"Come on, come on, let's compete with you today." Zhou Tong called Zhou Haiquan to sit down, and then said to Zhou Haidong and the others: "Each of us will compete with him, maybe we will win against him."

It was said to be one-on-one, but it was actually three-on-one. Zhou Hairong and Zhou Haidong sat on both sides of Zhou Tong, helping to make suggestions. Zhou Haiquan rolled up his sleeves and sat opposite, calm and relaxed.

When Xiao Yao hurried back from the "Red Fairy", Aunt Wang was coming down the stairs with a smile on her face.He hurriedly took off his backpack and asked pantingly, "Is the eldest sister back?"

"It's been a while since I've been back, and now their brothers and sisters are playing chess upstairs."

Xiao Yao went upstairs to take a look. As soon as he walked to the door of the chess and card room, he heard the excitement inside. Zhou Siyu said, "Brother is going to win again!"

"Don't disturb the morale of the army," Zhou Hairong's voice came out, "See, I'm going to win this one."

He sneaked a peek inside, and saw a pair of three inside, and the killing was bustling.It was rare to see the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family so harmonious, which made him feel like an outsider, so he went downstairs secretly again.Seeing him coming down, Aunt Wang asked with a smile, "Why didn't you watch them play chess, one against three?"

"I saw it. Why is it one-on-three? Is the eldest brother very good at chess?" Xiao Yao asked.

"That's not it, you don't know, when he was in middle school, he represented the Municipal Chess Center in the National Chess Championship and won No.2 in the youth group. He loved playing chess since he was a child, and his wife's father is a chess master , so my wife taught the brothers to play chess since they were young, but they are the ones who are the best at Haiquan and have never lost. No, the three of them joined forces today and want to win a game. "

Xiao Yao has a new understanding of the excellence of these wealthy children. Zhou Siyu knows a few foreign languages ​​​​at a young age, and I am afraid he also dabbles in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone Zhou Hairong and the others. They were born with a golden spoon in their mouth and won everything. At the starting line.

"Aren't they all pretty good?" Xiao Yao asked while helping Aunt Wang pick vegetables while sitting down.

When Aunt Wang talked about the excellence of their brothers and sisters, she seemed to be praising her own children: "I didn't say that when I watched them grow up. Hairong and the others are really better than other children. Hai Rong, when he was in school, his grades were also very good, not to mention Zhou Tong and Hai Quan, especially Hai Quan, who was not the best at school in terms of morality, intelligence and physique. I have saved up such a big box of honorary certificates," Aunt Wang said and couldn't help but gesture to him with her hand, "If it wasn't for something happened at home back then, he would definitely go to Harvard and Oxford with a full scholarship. "

Damn, isn't this a "child of someone else's family"? Xiao Yao, a top student who grew up as a "child of someone else's family", feels a little ashamed of himself.There are really some people in this world who are so good that you can't see or imagine what they have.

So he smiled and said to Aunt Wang, "Do you think he is the most perfect, with no flaws at all?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That's not true. His personality is not as good as the two brothers Hai Rong and Hai Dong. He is young and mature, and he has bad luck." Aunt Wang sighed, "I am really surprised that he is such an excellent person. Why is the luck so bad? Probably he is a bit old-fashioned and doesn't like girls very much. But his family background is not suitable for ordinary women, and he is too good, so there are fewer matches."

Xiao Yao nodded quickly, and he agreed with this: "His requirements should be quite high. For someone like me, if Hai Rong likes it, he will definitely not like it."

Aunt Wang burst out laughing, and she agreed with Xiao Yao's words, but she couldn't nod, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Yao was not good enough by default?

"Don't help me here, go upstairs and play with them, the meal will be ready soon."

"Today I planned to cook for Hai Rong, but unfortunately I'm too busy." He really didn't expect that setting up a birthday party would be so troublesome.

"Then when it's time to eat, you make longevity noodles for him." Aunt Wang said.

Xiao Yao nodded, and suddenly saw Aunt Wang smiling again. He looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why are you smiling like that?"

"I found that your relationship with Hai Rong is getting better and better. If it continues like this, Hai Quan will definitely accept you. I'm happy for you!"

These words Xiao Yao sounded very emotional, he thought, in "The Rich Man and Daughter-in-law", before the accident happened, Xiao Yao felt the same way, when everyone felt that he and Zhou Hairong were getting better and better , Suddenly, the thing he was most worried about finally happened, and then a series of out of control finally led to the collapse of this relationship.A person like him must not be reconciled.

Not reconciled, how much like the former Mrs. Zhou.

And when he appeared in front of this family with the appearance of Mrs. Zhou, what would Zhou Hairong think of him, and what would Zhou Haiquan and the others think of him.Disgust, pity, sympathy, or indifference?As a spectator eager to watch a big drama, as a character in the drama, my mood is a bit complicated.

"It's almost there. Go up and call them. It's time to serve dinner. It's not good to cook all the dishes all at once."

Xiao Yao washed his hands and went upstairs. When he arrived at the door of the chess and card room, he found Zhou Hairong howling: "No, no, it's my birthday today, you have to give me a step!"

"How many times have you been told?" Zhou Haiquan said.

When Xiao Yao went in, Zhou Siyu saw him first, and hurriedly shouted: "Come see my second brother is going to lose!"

Zhou Hairong glared at her, and Zhou Siyu ran over and pulled Xiao Yao over.Xiao Yao shyly greeted Zhou Tong and called "big sister".

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Just call me Miss Zhou Tong."

Zhou Hairong looked back at Zhou Tong when he heard the words, and Zhou Tong gave him a push: "Play your chess well."

Xiao Yao didn't care either, and said with a smile, "Sister Zhou Tong, Aunt Wang said it's time for dinner."

"Finish this game." Zhou Hairong said, "Xiao Yao, quickly stand behind me and give me some luck."

Xiao Yao leaned on his back affectionately, looked at the chessboard and said, "I don't understand chess, what are the rules?"

He only played Chinese Chess before, and he knew a little bit of Go, but he had never played International Chess, which he had only seen in TV dramas.

Zhou Hairong explained to him the respective moves and general rules of the soldiers, horses, elephants, and chariot queens. Xiao Yao was smart and understood it as soon as he heard it, and watched him quietly from behind.

Compared to Zhou Hairong's three siblings who were giving advice to each other, Zhou Haiquan sitting opposite was much quieter, holding a cup of tea in one hand and taking a sip from time to time.Probably because the brothers and sisters rarely get together and the atmosphere is so good, so he still has a smile on his face from time to time.Xiao Yao found that the hands of these two brothers were very beautiful, needless to say Zhou Hairong, who was born to play the piano, Zhou Haiquan's hands were also slender and clean, the nails were especially neat and clean, and there were faint blue veins on the back of the hands.

Sitting beside him, Zhou Tong suddenly looked at his arm on Zhou Hairong's shoulder, and asked, "From the second?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tong, seeing that Zhou Tong was staring at the string of huanghuali bracelets on his wrist, he nodded and said "Yes".

Zhou Hairong bought this for him at the mall yesterday when he went out to eat with him.In terms of giving gifts, Zhou Hairong is very like a rich young master. This bracelet costs tens of thousands. It has a faint fragrance. The lady at the counter bragged about this bracelet, saying that it can preserve health.

But what Zhou Hairong didn't understand was that the more things he gave Xiao Yao, the more Xiao Yao looked like a money-worshiping man seeking wealth and status in the eyes of outsiders.Zhou Tong is a person who knows the goods, so he naturally knows that this bracelet is not cheap, so he just smiled and said nothing.

"Don't touch this kid," Xiao Yao said suddenly, grabbing Zhou Hairong's arm, "You go here, and within two steps, my brother will eat your king."

Zhou Haiquan looked up at him, but Xiao Yao was staring at the chessboard seriously, and then commanded Zhou Hairong: "Move your queen."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhou Haiquan, and asked with a smile, "Brother, is it okay?"

Zhou Haiquan said, "You go."

Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to move Zhou Hairong's back.

"Oh, oh, I can see it." Zhou Haidong who was next to him said.

Zhou Hairong said: "This step is not as good as the one just now. I can directly kill his king just now."

Xiao Yao frowned and looked at the chessboard, but didn't answer his words.

Xiao Yao played chess, and it has become a habit to look at three moves for the next move. Obviously, Zhou Haiquan saw farther and thought more carefully.His newborn calf is still incomparable to Zhou Haiquan.

"Is this the first time?" He asked Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao nodded: "It's not a good game, I shouldn't have interrupted."

"Better than the second child." Zhou Haiquan said.

Zhou Hairong was not annoyed when he heard this, and said, "Our family, Xiao Yao, is very smart."

Everyone went downstairs to eat. The meal was rare and lively. The atmosphere was completely different from the first time he came to Zhou's house for dinner.At the end, everyone toasted Zhou Hairong and said blessings. Zhou Haiquan said: "I hope your work will be smoother and smoother."

Zhou Tong said: "I hope you will be happy."

Zhou Haidong said: "I hope my second brother can make a lot of money!"

Zhou Siyu said: "I wish my second brother gets married soon so that I can have a real second sister-in-law!"

Zhou Hairong immediately said: "This sentence is good, this is my main goal for this year!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao held up his cup and said, "I won't say any more blessings, but I will give you all my blessings."

Those things that are about to happen, although hurtful and sad, are actually a thorny road to happiness for both of them, and it is good for everyone.If the pain is temporary and it is for a happier future, then you should go on without hesitation.

He raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and the wine entered his stomach, sweeping away his depression of the past two days.

Nothing beats the desire for freedom.Instead of being a couple who fell in love with Zhou Hairong, fell in love and killed each other, he hoped to be his real self. What Zhou Hairong loved was not the real him, and the real him didn't love Zhou Hairong either.

He gets freedom, Zhou Hairong gets true love, the best of both worlds, no harm to anyone.

The birthday party was scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening, and they still had an afternoon at home.Zhou Siyu heard that Xiao Yao was learning the piano, so he volunteered to teach him after dinner. The two of them practiced in the piano room for a while, and finally Zhou Siyu was very discouraged and said: "No, I can't teach you anymore, let the second brother teach you Bar."

Xiao Yao smiled and asked, "Am I too stupid?"

Zhou Siyu blushed and said, "No."

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Then let's stop practicing and see what they are doing."

"They must be playing upstairs." Zhou Siyu said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Xiao Yao walked to the door of the top floor, and suddenly heard Zhou Tong say: "...I really don't know what you think."

"You don't like Xiao Yao?"

"I can't say I like it, and I can't say I don't like it. What about you, do you like it or love it?"

"Of course it's love."

If he hadn't heard this conversation, Xiao Yao would have almost forgotten this plot in the novel.In the novel, Xiao Yao loves to listen to Qianggen very much. There are several truths he knows because of Qianggen, and this is one of them.

"Then why did I hear Aunt Wang say that you haven't given up yet, and she has to cover for you."

Zhou Hairong just laughed and said: "She thinks too much, socializing, how can she not ask girls to accompany her, and I don't like women, hugging and kissing a few times is just a show, I'm not happy Well, there is no way, it’s all about business.”

"Look at your elder brother, why isn't he like this?"

"Big Brother used to be supported by elders in his family when he first started working. Now that his position is there, he naturally doesn't need to look at people's faces. I just took office and I haven't stood firm yet. Don't worry, Xiao Yao knows all about this."

This is true, Xiao Yao of these original works knows it well, his request to Zhou Hairong is "only be allowed to be a princess, not to be called a young master", there must be a bottom line.It's not that he is cheap, but that this is the way of the world, business people, this kind of entertainment, seven or eight times out of ten.He found a wealthy family, so he had to be tolerant.

Xiao Yao went downstairs quietly, went to the courtyard outside, sat under the parasol, and looked at the flowers in the courtyard.

The sun is high today, and the aroma of the flowers is also warmed up, with an ecstasy-like sweetness.He squinted his eyes and lay on the chair. A bird landed near him. He didn't know what kind of bird it was, and he was not afraid of life at all.

Zhou's mansion is located on the middle of the mountain. Various birds often fly over the house. He looked at the bird quietly. The bird was suddenly startled by the sound, fluttered its wings and flew away. When he looked back, it was Zhou Haiquan .

He sat up and called "big brother".

"Why did you come here alone?"

It was rare for Zhou Haiquan to take the initiative to talk to him, so Xiao Yao sat cross-legged, exposing his smooth and fair feet, and said, "I'm a little sleepy, lie down for a while."

Zhou Haiquan asked: "How is the preparation for the birthday party tonight?"

"Ready."

Zhou Haiquan nodded, and the two of them had nothing else to say.The weather is relatively hot today, Zhou Haiquan changed into a loose shirt after lunch, and wore a pair of big pants. His figure is strong and slender, and sometimes he feels oppressive when he is standing.The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Xiao Yao racked his brains to find a topic: "Brother's chess skills are really good, it's really a trick in front of you today."

Zhou Haiquan sat down next to him and said, "I have studied professionally before, and I can't win without martial arts."

"I heard from Aunt Wang that you used to be very good at chess. It's a pity that you didn't stick to it."

Zhou Haiquan sat a bit on the side, the parasol could not completely cover him, half of his face was exposed in the sun, his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids, and the outline of his nose became more distinct: "I really wanted to be a professional chess player before." hand, but the family situation does not allow it.”

It doesn't mean that being born rich means you can do what you want to do.As the eldest son, family changes will put more pressure on him and more responsibilities.

You see, Zhou Haiquan is actually only 27 years old this year, but he looks mature and prudent like a middle-aged man.

"Brother, why don't you like dogs? Are dogs not allowed at home?"

The topic changed a bit quickly, Zhou Haiquan was taken aback when he heard this, and after a while he said: "Do you want to raise a dog?"

Xiao Yao said, "I have a puppy..."

"What species?"

"Just... a dirt dog, an ordinary little dirt dog."

"No." Zhou Haiquan said immediately.

But listening to that tone, he asked specifically about the breed. Could it be that his likes and dislikes of dogs are divided into breeds? ?

"Is it a dirt dog, or any dog?"

Zhou Haiquan said: "Dog, can it grow big?"

Xiao Yao burst out laughing, sat up and asked, "Are you afraid of big dogs?!"
