Chapter 1186: Xiao Jincheng's Concession
The fact that Xiao Jincheng spoke in such a humble manner showed that he truly had no way out. This prompted Xiao Mingyang to raise an eyebrow and smile, "If Grandpa were truly willing to let go, I naturally wouldn't be so ruthless. But things have developed to this point, and I cannot let go! However, Grandpa, rest assured, I am still a member of the Xiao family, and I will not abandon you, nor will I allow the family's assets to be left to rot outside."
Xiao Mingyang's smile was full of scheming and evil, so much like his younger self!
Unfortunately, times have changed, and the Xiao family is no longer their domain...
With a sigh full of melancholy, Xiao Jincheng slowly closed his eyes and resignedly said, "Do as you please. I'm old now, and this is all I can do for the Xiao family. As for how to proceed in the future, that's up to you young people!"
“If Grandpa had thought this way sooner, you wouldn’t have suffered so much!” Xiao Mingyang stood up briskly, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and said, “They say fallen leaves return to their roots, Grandpa must miss his home in China very much. How about this, once your condition stabilizes, we’ll go back to China together!”
Xiao Mingyang hadn't mentioned this decision to Xiao Jincheng at all, so when he heard the news, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Xiao Mingyang, wondering what terrible thing this rascal had thought of this time...
……
"What?! You're taking Xiao Jincheng back to China?!" Da Zhong was preparing medicine for Xiao Jincheng when he heard Xiao Mingyang's words. His hand trembled, and the powder spilled out. He then said in disbelief, "Xiao Mingyang, you must be crazy!"
Sipping his red wine elegantly, Xiao Mingyang explained, "If we leave him here alone, who knows what crazy things he might do? It's safer to keep him by our side. Besides, didn't you say that Xiao Jincheng's health has deteriorated after this ordeal, and he doesn't have much time left? As long as we can get through this period, everything will be fine."
"That being said, Xiao Jincheng is like a time bomb; no one knows when he'll explode. Being with him always makes me feel very dangerous."
Shaking the glass in his hand, Xiao Mingyang said, "Xiao Jincheng is just an ordinary old man now, nothing to be afraid of. His glory belongs to yesterday!"
Seeing Xiao Mingyang's unwavering resolve, Da Zhong didn't insist any further. But looking at the wine glass in his hand, he couldn't help but ask, "You, didn't you say you didn't like red wine?"
Xiao Mingyang raised his hand and took another sip of red wine, saying slowly, "Actually, once you drink this a lot, you get used to its taste. It's not bad."
Da Zhong shook his head and said, "Your reason is the same as Zhang Kaifeng's."
When Da Zhong mentioned Zhang Kaifeng, Xiao Mingyang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That guy didn't say a word when he went back to Italy. He left quietly and didn't care whether others would worry about him."
After putting the freshly prepared medicine powder together, Da Zhong pouted and said, "You've already brought Zhenzhen to the Xiao family, it's no fun for him to stay here alone. He definitely has to go back, otherwise, how can he bear to see you four living happily together? That would be heartbreaking!"
Glancing sideways at Da Zhong, Xiao Mingyang asked, "What, are you speaking up for him?"
"No, it's just that I feel sorry for Zhang Kaifeng." Da Zhong said with emotion when Zhang Kaifeng was mentioned, "People like him are often stubborn. Otherwise, I would introduce him to a beautiful woman to win his heart, and he could start a new life. Yuqing wouldn't have any lingering feelings. Wouldn't that be great?"
After saying this, Da Zhong noticed that Xiao Mingyang had been staring at his cup without saying a word for a long time. Feeling uneasy, he asked, "Hey, you're not that petty, are you? Getting angry over something like this?"
Looking up at the clock, Xiao Mingyang scoffed, "I'm too lazy to get angry. I'm thinking about who would be more suitable for him."
Da Zhong's eyes widened as he looked at him and asked, "You're not thinking of playing matchmaker for Zhang Kaifeng, are you?!"
"Why, can't you?"
It's not that it's impossible, it's just that this feeling... is weird!
Tilting his head slightly, Da Zhong asked, "Then tell me, who do you want to introduce to Zhang Kaifeng?"
Setting down his cup, Xiao Mingyang slowly analyzed, "Given Zhang Kaifeng's personality, if I force someone on him, he'll definitely be very averse to it. It's best to let him get to know me gradually under the guise of work, so that feelings can develop over time and eventually take root."
After listening carefully, Da Zhong clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wow, I never expected someone as cold as you to be such a relationship expert! Your analysis is spot on! However, deciding who to introduce to Zhang Kaifeng is a real headache."
After frowning and thinking for a while, Da Zhong suddenly clapped his hands, looking as if he had just realized something, and said, "What do you think of my junior sister?"
"Could you recommend someone reliable?"
"What's wrong with my junior sister? She's so cute!" Da Zhong muttered indignantly, "If we're talking about reliable options, then the only one I can do is introduce him to someone who looks like Yu Qing!"
After saying this, Da Zhong felt a cool breeze brush against his neck, causing him to shrink back and feel cold all over.
He looked up awkwardly and smiled, waving his hand and saying, "Oh, I was just joking, don't take it to heart! By the way, Mark knows a lot of people, it should be easy for him to find a suitable candidate! Okay, I'll call him now, that's all!"
Seeing Da Zhong sprint away as if his life depended on it, Xiao Mingyang snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "You're lucky you ran fast!"
After a soft murmur, Xiao Mingyang paused, then a look of annoyance appeared in his eyes. He scolded, "Am I free right now? Why are you worrying about that guy?!"
……
At dinner time, Lin Yuqing set out a table full of delicacies and served rice to the two children before sitting down opposite Xiao Mingyang. She smiled at Da Zhong and said, "It's just some simple food, I hope you don't mind."
Looking at all the delicious food, Da Zhong had been drooling with envy. Hearing Lin Yuqing's modesty, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Yuqing, you're too kind. Such a sumptuous dinner is hardly a simple meal. If possible, I would like to eat such delicious 'simple meals' every day!"
Seeing Da Zhong's exaggerated expression, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, just say what's on your mind, stop beating around the bush, okay?"
Glancing out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the two children were still there, and said with concern, "Look, Zhenzhen and Xuan'er are here too. Some things are not suitable for children to hear, so let's not talk about them today!"
