Chapter: 3220

Old Grandma Xue sighed and said quietly, "This matter is estimated to have been misjudged by me; Leaf Chen that young man really has some ability, and before this, VeVe never told us anything. It turns out that the noble person who helped her a lot and took over the management of Shang Mei Ritual Company for her was actually Leaf Chen!"

Xiao Changjian and Xiao Haifeng lay on the bed, frozen in place for more than a minute.

Xiao Haifeng still looked unsure, opening his mouth to ask, "Grandma...... You can't be serious about messing with me, right?"

"You're how come you still haven't figured it out? Don't you realize we've been wrong all along? Since Older Sister Xiao doesn't want to divorce Leaf Chen, do we have any right to pressure her? Marriage and love are free, as the country has said many years ago. Why can't we respect her choice?"

"Also, Older Sister Xiao's independent decision, why did she decide to leave in the first place? Can you not see that clearly in your heart?"

"Older Sister Xiao took the initiative to approach Emperor Hao Group and got the contract. Logically, Grandma should have fulfilled her promise and given Older Sister Xiao the director position. But what did you do? You spoke badly of Older Sister Xiao in front of Grandma, even slandered her relationship with Zhang Wenhuo, and finally convinced Grandma to give you the director's position instead. That one incident alone has hurt Older Sister Xiao deeply. If it were my choice, I wouldn't stay in the Xiao family group anymore!"

Xiao Haifeng's face turned red and black as he struggled to find something to say, but couldn't think of anything. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about them moving into a new villa after they left. With four people living in such a big villa, Grandma should have been invited over to enjoy the benefits, right?"

"Why so?" Xiao Ri'er opened her mouth and asked, "Say what you mean, Grandma has always had no regard for them as a family. She never gave them any good treatment, and even went so far as to chase them out of the house. So why would they invite Grandma to their villa? If I were in their shoes, would I do that?"

Grandma Xiao's heart was indeed not pleased, but she didn't dare to directly contradict. After all, Xiao Ri'er is now the pillar of the family, and just now she had almost turned against her. So she could only sit quietly on one side, not saying a word.

Xiao Haifeng was speechless after being spoken to by Xiao Ri'er, his face red and ears hot as he said, "Well, isn't our mom clear about this? Leaf Chen sent Mom away to the coal mine, can you forgive him for that?"

Xiao Ri'er asked back, "Then you tell me, why did Leaf Chen send Mom away to the coal mine?"

Xiao Haifeng suddenly fell silent.

In fact, he was also very clear in his heart. Originally, this incident ultimately stemmed from our parents' ill intentions towards Leaf Chen's family. It was they who colluded with others and gave Maran a hard time. Only it didn't think that Leaf Chen would break through their schemes.

"So, in the end, Mom's matter can be considered as reaping what one has sown. No matter how hard you try to wash your hands, it would mean nothing."

Xiao Ri'er spoke up, saying, "You're almost thirty now, brother. Stop being like a child and figure out right from wrong, recognize reality!"

As she said that, Xiao Ri'er's tone was tinged with sadness, saying, "Our family has changed a lot since then. Now, in this situation, when you and Dad recover, the two of you will definitely have to go out to find jobs to support your family. If you're still immature and lack moral standards, how are you going to stand on your own feet in society? You'll also have to build a home, start a business, and raise children to carry on the family name! Can't just stay like this forever?"

Xiao Ri'er's words directly struck Xiao Haifeng at his innermost painful spot.

He was also very clear that he had always been nothing but a good-for-nothing, unable to do anything right or have enough.

In the past, there was the influence of the Xiao family on top of his head, and he could still manage to live comfortably as a rich second-generation heir.

But now, everything has gone back to zero.

As for his future self, there would be no reliance on any halo or shelter, and if he continued to drift aimlessly like this, it was possible that he might end up like those in their 50s who still couldn't find partners and waste their whole lives.

He suddenly thought of Wang Baojun's film "Mr. Tree", where Wang Baojun played a character that looked like some kind of magical realism, but in real life, he often saw people like this, and it seemed like there were many such people everywhere.

Oh, woe is me, oh, pity me, with no cure to be had.

Thinking about this, Xiao Hai Long felt extremely uncomfortable inside, and it wasn't until now that he realized he couldn't see his own future at all, his future was shrouded in darkness.

He thought despondently: "Sister has already achieved some success under Ye Chen's help, and her future is bright and promising......" JrNovels.com
