Chapter 2779 Recalling the Past

Xiao Qian lay on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He also gave orders to Xiao Huaili. He was tired.

After leaving Xiao Qian's room, Xiao Huaili was trying to figure out what his father meant. A few years ago, with his father's temper, how could he tolerate such a thing?

But the ending was unexpected. The head of the Xiao family at that time has grown old now. Old is not only in appearance, but more importantly in heart.

"Hey... I'm old now. It's not my turn to worry about these things."

A sigh came from Xiao Qian's room. After experiencing too many things, he had to admit that he was really old.

Xiao Huaili originally planned to apply to Xiao Qian to go to the Jiang family in person. His main purpose was to ask for punishment.

But in the end, Xiao Qian said so, so he had to do what his father said for the time being and let Xiao Qian solve this matter.

After leaving Xiao Qian's yard, there was a man waiting for Xiao Huaili outside. When he saw Xiao Huaili coming out, he stepped forward and asked immediately.

"How is father? What did grandpa say?"

Xiao Qing was also quite concerned about his marriage. He was going to complete the wedding as the future heir to the head of the family.

How glorious and prominent it would be if it was spread out. At that time, guests from all parties and those ancient big families would come to attend his wedding.

In addition, by completing the wedding, Xiao Qing would have gained the bond with the Jiang family. At that time, his position as the head of the family would become more stable and no one could shake it.

However...some things went against one's will and something went wrong at this time.

"I thought your grandpa didn't know about this yet, but I didn't expect that he knew it before us."

"What? Grandpa knew it a long time ago? If grandpa knew it a long time ago, why didn't he tell us in advance?"

Xiao Qing heard rumors about the Jiang family some time ago, and then he knew that there was an accident in his marriage.

It was originally agreed, and the Jiang family's doing this was equivalent to slapping the Xiao family in the face. How could grandpa tolerate it? Xiao Qing was puzzled.

"Even I don't know why. Even though your grandfather stays at home all day, nothing that happens outside escapes his eyes."

Even Xiao Huaili, the head of the Xiao family, fell behind Xiao Qian this time. You can imagine how capable the old man is.

Xiao Qian just doesn't want to get involved, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability. Xiao Huaili felt a little scared. Maybe Xiao Qian already knew what he did.

He even knew the secrets of the Jiang family. He was not a fool pretending to know nothing about the internal strife in his family in order to maintain peace in the Xiao family.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why did your face suddenly become so ugly?"

Xiao Huaili's face suddenly turned very pale. Noticing the change in his face, Xiao Qing asked.

"It's nothing. I thought of something. Your grandfather has already said that you should let your grandfather handle this matter."

"Father, what I am worried about now is that the woman I am engaged to has escaped from the Jiang family. If she does that kind of thing with other men outside, where will I put my face at that time?"

"You don't need to worry about it. The people of the Jiang family are anxious now. If the woman is not complete, they dare not continue to fulfill the engagement. Your marriage is the top priority of the Xiao family."

Xiao Qing had met Jiang Ying once before. At that time, Jiang Ying was not yet eighteen years old, but her figure had developed very well. It can be seen that she is a beauty embryo.

His woman is now missing. Xiao Qing vaguely feels that a green hat has appeared on his head, and this green hat may be put on at any time.

But now he is powerless. Waiting for what kind of explanation the Jiang family will give at that time. He will stay in the Xiao family for a few days and then return to work.

The father and son returned to their residence. Xiao Huaili has always been concerned about a problem. His younger brother has been restless and looking for an opportunity to take action.

"I arranged for you to go out with your fourth uncle for training, and I also asked you to keep an eye on him. Is there anything abnormal about him?"

Xiao Qing sat down. He was about to report this matter. He had never forgotten what the real purpose of his going out was.

"Father, I will naturally not forget your instructions. I will always be with my fourth uncle. However, this fourth uncle basically stays in the house except for doing his job well."

"He stays in the house, which does not mean that his ambition has been eliminated. On the contrary, this is what worries me the most."

"Although the fourth uncle has not made any moves, the adopted son of the fourth uncle has been active outside."

Xiao Huaili is always on guard against his fourth brother. This is how he got this position. He does not want to become the protagonist of the tragedy.

Throwing Xiao Huaizhi in a corner for more than 20 years, an ordinary person would also feel resentful, let alone the person he knows best.

"That Xiao Ze? He doesn't have much ability, and he's not of the Xiao family, so there are too many restrictions on what he can do. Let him jump around freely outside."

"Yes... Father, when I came back this time, my fourth uncle said something very strange to me, and I didn't understand what he meant."

Xiao Qing still remembers what Xiao Huaizhi's eyes and expression were when he said this, and there was an unfathomable smile on his face.

"What did you say?"

"He said that the position of the head of the Xiao family has always been passed on to the eldest son. Logically speaking, there is another person who is more qualified than me."

"What a joke... Now in the Xiao family, only you two brothers are qualified to inherit. Is Xiao Huaizhi crazy? He actually said such a foolish thing."

Hearing what Xiao Qing said, Xiao Huaili laughed a few times, feeling that his younger brother wanted the position of the head of the family completely crazy.

Xiao Huaizhi was unable to have children, and only had an adopted son. The adopted son was not the blood of the Xiao family and had no qualifications to compete with his own son.

Xiao Qing's next words made Xiao Huaili fall into deep thought, and he said very seriously at this moment.

"Father... Fourth uncle didn't mean that. He told me that if the second uncle's child was still alive, the position of the head of the family would not be my turn."

"What...what...why did he bring up this matter for no reason?"

That incident back then also became a pain in Xiao Huaizhi's heart. The position under his buttocks was obtained by fratricide.

Xiao Huaizhi was also a participant in the riot and witnessed the incident. A family of three died in the fire, and Xiao Huaizhi was not unaware of this.
