Miss White Rose

The sun on Friday was very good, and the whole body was warmed by the sun.Xu Xingyan made a special trip back to the old house to visit her old father who was finally released from the isolation hotel.

The Xu family’s old house is located beside a sparkling lake, not far from the well-manicured birch forest. The old house is in the style of a European-style manor, which is quite poetic. In the garden, apart from Fang Yi’s favorite windmill jasmine arch and Xu Xingyan's favorite white rose, and the rest are bonsai that Mr. Xu took good care of.

When Xu Xingyan found her father in the greenhouse, the other party was concentrating on trimming a pot of green pine.

"It looks a bit unfamiliar, is it daddy's new home? When did you buy it?"

Xu Yuming is a very handsome middle-aged man, personable and gentle. Not only is his family wealthy, but he also has a high level of education and artistic accomplishment.

If not, he would not have been able to defeat a competitor with a strengthened company back then, break through all kinds of obstacles set by his father-in-law and aunt, and successfully embrace the beauty.

Mr. Xu looked back and saw his beloved daughter, with a smile on the end of his eyes with fine wrinkles, "You Uncle Li gave it to me. The pot is more than 200 years old and the quality is good."

"Come on, you can cut it," Mr. Xu pointed the tip of the scissors towards himself and handed them to his daughter.

"Okay," Xu Xingyan chuckled, stepped forward to trim it carefully, "I just asked the housekeeper to prepare a barbecue grill, let's roast quail later, okay, I haven't grilled with Dad for a long time."

Xu Yuming said with a smile: "I told the secretary today, I will leave all non-essential matters to tomorrow, you can arrange whatever you want, Dad will listen to you."

"Then let me read the financial statement in my hand. There are two long-term investments I'm interested in." Xu Xingyan tilted her head and smiled. gone."

"You just catch me alone, it's rare that you don't miss a day off."

Mr. Xu put his forehead on his forehead and smiled, feeling the sweet burden, and said helplessly, "Send it to the mailbox. I'll show it to you when I listen to the radio at night."

Xu Xingyan cut off a small clump of pine branches, and said without raising her head, "That's your rest day as Mr. Xu, not your father's rest day. Anyway, with me, you'll be employed all your life, all year round."

Mr. Xu was coaxed by this rascal's words, and he was in a happy mood. Seeing his daughter carefully pruning the branches and leaves, he couldn't help but stepped forward and pointed out: "Purch off this piece, and here, don't keep it, cut it off..."

Xu Xingyan trimmed it according to her father's instructions, stepped back to watch it for a while, and nodded in praise: "Father still has a sharp eye. This way, it is indeed much more suitable than the original draft in my heart."

"This one is all about trade-offs. You must break the cage and be light. Today, I know that I am my artistic conception. Yanyan, you lack some vigor in this since you were a child. Although you can afford it, you can always take it." It’s hard to let go, so pay more attention to this.”

"Oh, I see..." Xu Xingyan dragged on for a long time, and said a little boringly: "Why do you start educating people as soon as we meet?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this."

Mr. Xu smiled gently, "Your mother sent me a photo from the art exhibition this morning, which is the picture of red plums in the snow that you drew. She said that she was praised by an old senior, saying that your composition is full, The pen and ink are straightforward and the style is good, your mother has been happy for a long time."

Xu Xingyan was also a little happy, "Really? Which senior is it? Why didn't my mother tell me?"

"I didn't hear it very clearly. It seems to be a master who has been writing for many years and has a lot of status. My impression is that her surname is Tang. You can ask her yourself later."

……

After Lin Shengmiao typed the last word, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her temples that were swollen from staying up all night, and wished she could go to her beloved bed right away.

Yesterday, an old client contacted her and asked her to translate a document urgently. Because she was an acquaintance and the price was high, Lin Shengmiao took it anyway.

Lin Shengmiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the email sent by the other party expressing his gratitude and not needing to revise it. He took a look at the morning light leaking through the cracks in the curtains, and took out a bottle of melatonin bought yesterday from the drawer of the hotel. Chewed one, washed up a bit, and then lay down on the bed peacefully with eyes closed.

It was at this time that the phone rang, and it was extremely expressionless.

Lin Shengmiao took two deep breaths before getting up from the bed, and looked at the caller ID - Tao Jie.

"Hey, what's the matter?" She said, holding back her anger.

Tao Jie on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why this junior sister was on vacation and became even more angry. She guessed carefully: "You haven't woken up yet?"

Lin Shengmiao's forehead twitched, "No, I haven't slept yet!"

"Why did you go?" Tao Jie asked in surprise.

"Stop talking about that, what do you want from me?" Lin Shengmiao rubbed her eyes, almost collapsed from sleepiness, "I'm about to go to bed."

"Oh," Tao Jie quickened her tone, "I remember you are in Nancheng City now, right?"

"Correct."

"Well, I'm going to Nancheng next week to attend my cousin's wedding. If you're free, come pick me up at the airport."

Lin Shengmiao regained consciousness and asked, "When are you coming? Are you alone?"

Tao Jie: "No. 30, Thursday, I'm the only one, I'll probably stay until the wedding is over, um... Return to Shencheng on Sunday morning."

"Okay," Lin Shengmiao took a pen to make a note, "I'll pick you up that day, do you need to book a hotel for you?"

"No, the hotel has already been booked," Tao Jie said with a smile: "Okay, go to bed quickly, I'm afraid you'll hit me along the phone line when I hear your tone."

"Then bye," Lin Shengmiao hung up the phone without saying a word, and fell into the quilt.

……

"I heard from your aunt that when she visited your grandparents' grave a few days ago, your second aunt made things difficult for you?"

Mr. Xu asked as he cut the roasted quail into the plate and sprinkled it with seasoning.

"Auntie is suing you again?" Xu Xingyan swallowed the crispy skin in her mouth, "Actually, it's not that serious. Second Aunt is just ruthless. She has always had such a temper. Just follow her a little bit. If it doesn’t work, just ignore it.”

Mr. Xu snorted coldly, his downcast eyes were completely different from when he was facing his daughter.

"She still remembers that I didn't adopt Han Yi's name back then, but it was just a joke when the old man was confused. No one took it to heart, but she kept remembering it and didn't think about it. I have it myself. Daughter, why do you want to raise other people's children!"

Xu Xingyan lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.

It's a long time ago.

Back then when Fang Yi was about seven months pregnant, Mr. Xu was so excited that he became a father. He took care of everything by himself and drove her to the maternity check-up. As a result, he encountered a malicious car accident on the way.The wife gave birth prematurely with difficulty, and emergency rescue began when the daughter was born.

At that time, Mr. Fang used all available resources and invited the best doctors in related fields to save his granddaughter's life.

At that time, it was rumored that the little girl of the Xu family would not be able to grow up.

It's hard to describe the outrage the young parents felt when they first heard the rumors.

When their beloved daughter was struggling to survive in the incubator, eager to take a good look at the world, someone outside had already sentenced her to death.

Therefore, after Xu Xingyan grew up weak and strong, the couple each underwent a ligation operation.

Because of guilt and distress, she is unwilling to let any child share everything she deserves.

But the thinking of the older generation is different. Mr. Fang is fine. He only has two daughters in his life, and he takes lightly on the inheritance of the surname. Maybe the old man can't do it. Although he loves his granddaughter, he still loves his granddaughter. I care more about my son, and I want a healthy grandson more.

For this matter, Fang Yi, who has always been calm and gentle, had a fierce quarrel with her husband's family for the first time.

Although in the end Mrs. Xu stepped forward to restrain her husband and exposed the matter, it still left a shadow in many people's hearts.

Later, until Second Aunt Xu remarried and gave birth to Han Yi, Mr. Xu changed his mind again.Since the son is not willing to give birth, it is the same to adopt one from the daughter, anyway, the blood relationship is similar.

Second Aunt Xu understood that this was to train her son as an heir, so she was naturally willing to do so.

But Mr. Xu is still unwilling. He is not only a gentle and handsome man who loves to trim potted plants, but also a loyal fan of the animal world who believes in the law of the jungle.

He was very angry and regarded this behavior as a plunder of his daughter's living supplies.

Later, Mr. Xu's strong opposition to this matter, and Mrs. Xu's repeated persuasion, could not be resolved. In the last few years, Mr. Xu seemed to want to let it go, and he didn't mention it again, but it was left in the heart of Second Aunt Xu. A scar. Since then, she has found Xu Xingyan, a niece, very unpleasant, and will find fault with her whenever she has a chance.

……

Choking on the pepper powder, Xu Xingyan sneezed, turned her head and said, "Dad, please make it less spicy."

Then he comforted Mr. Xu, who had a bad face, "Okay, I'm not angry at all, why are you so angry, it's not worth it if you get angry, the number of times I see my second aunt in a year, both hands If you can count them, the worst thing is to avoid her in the future."

Mr. Xu looked at her as if she didn't take the matter of Second Aunt Xu into her heart at all, and instead smiled, with the lingering anger still lingering while smiling, "Why are you avoiding her? she!"

"Some time ago, a fancy red diamond came out of a mine in South Africa. I asked the designer to make a bracelet with other diamonds. It will take about a few months to complete. It will be Chinese New Year, and you will look happy and beautiful..."

In all fairness, Xu Xingyan doesn't really like jewelry very much, but she has a grandfather who started out in the jewelry business, and a father who always wanted to be a coal boss in the early years, but accidentally dug out a diamond mine.

Mr. Xu, a CEO who really owns a mine at home, his luck and experience are legendary.
