IACF [QT] Chapter 7.1

The little incident at the wedding did not alarm the adults. However, Xiao Xing still found out about it later because Yang Lele kept making a lot of noise and what the Yang family said was really disgusting.

Twenty years ago, Xiao Xing and his ex-wife had a business marriage, and they later divorced peacefully.

Now they had both started their own families and had no grudges against each other.

In recent years, the industries under the Yang family have been declining, while the Xiao family has been thriving. As a result, the gap between them had gradually widened.

In the past, for Xiao Yan’s sake and also the friendship of the previous generation, Xiao Xing would take on any project that could bring the Yang family.

Perhaps his easy-going nature gave the other party a false impression.

Not long ago, Xiao Yan’s Uncle had a funny idea. He insisted on introducing his wife’s sister to Xiao Xing in order to strengthen the relationship. After being rejected, he seemed to be dissatisfied.

Today, their dissatisfaction probably reached its peak.

After listening to this, Xiao Xing did not disturb others. He gave a few instructions to his assistant, and then the assistant left immediately.

“What’s wrong?” Su Wanting took a sip of wine and asked him in a low voice.

Xiao Xing also whispered: “Nothing.”

On the other side, the three members of the Yang family, who were invited by the assistant on the grounds of ‘Mr. Xiao invited them’, thought that it was Xiao Xing and his son who were waiting for them.

However, in the blink of an eye, they found that they were taken outside the hotel.

When they looked back, there was no trace of the young assistant behind them. There were only a few tall bodyguards guarding outside the venue, preventing anyone from entering at will.

The Yang family members then realized that they had been tricked and started cursing without caring about their image at all.

They took out their mobile phones and called Xiao Xing. But when they found that the call was not going through, they called Xiao Yan again.

“Xiao Yan, your Dad treated Uncle like this, so have you just watched it? I am your biological uncle!”

“Think about it, when you were a child, you had a fever and your parents were not at home. Wasn’t it Uncle who carried you to the hospital? Now that you have grown up and don’t need Uncle anymore, you just watched your Dad treat me like this?!”

As soon as Xiao Yan picked up the phone, the other side started talking nonstop.

Before he opened his mouth, the person who spoke changed to his aunt.

“Xiao Yan, don’t blame Aunt for speaking harshly. I think your Dad has been bewitched. Otherwise, why would he not marry a good girl, but a woman who has given birth to a child and the child is still in her teens?”

“They say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Aunt is really worried about you. I heard from Lele, that burden is not an easy person to deal with either.”

“Xiao Yan, you really have to be careful. The women in this family are very powerful. The older ones bewitched the older ones, and the younger ones bewitched the younger ones. Be careful that one day your family will all become surnamed Su.”

Xiao Yan listened to everything with a blank expression.

Han Lu brought two drinks and waited until he hung up the phone before asking, “Are your uncle and aunt playing double-act again? I really admire them. They sent you to the hospital when you were a child, and they treated it as a life-saving favor and talked about it hundreds of times.”

Xiao Yan took a sip of the drink and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Han Lu scratched his cheek.

Actually, there was something that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, but due to his strong desire to survive, he never said it out loud.

He always felt that although Xiao Yan looked cold, he was actually very lacking in love.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he became Xiao Yan, his parents were busy with their careers when he was born and left him to be taken care of by a nanny.

When he was sick, he only had an unreliable uncle around him.

When his personality was almost formed, his parents divorced, and he lived with his grandparents.

Maybe he would lack love more than Xiao Yan.

Thinking about it this way, his own parents, apart from the occasional mixed doubles match, could be considered model parents.

However, even those who were in need of love knew that it was better to have nothing than to overdo it. For someone like Xiao Yan’s uncle, who took a little of the past affection and squeezed out the favor, love would deteriorate one day.

Han Lu thought that if Xiao Yan had listened to his uncle’s phone call five years ago, he would definitely have been instigated and gone to his father to reason.

Now? Not even a trace of emotion on his face.
