On the contrary, the assistant was trembling and felt that he had not done a good job. "Mr. Yuan, if you give me some more time, I will go to investigate again."
Yuan Haowen stopped and waved, "no, even you can''t find it. That''s true. There won''t be any clues. Let''s leave it now."
At this time, Yuan Haowen''s mobile phone rang.
He took a look at the screen and found that it was the elders of the yuan family.
Delicate corner of the mouth up, swept a mocking arc, slowly picked up.
"Haowen, your uncle''s brother is back. You''re going back to your old house tonight. Let''s have dinner together."
From the receiver of the phone came the familiar voice of the yuan family.
Yuan Haowen''s plain voice slowly returned: "good."
Looking at his face, the assistant was a little worried, "Mr. Yuan, you Are you all right? "
Yuan Haowen narrowed his eyes, "it''s OK, you go out first."
He is going to a Hongmen banquet in the evening. Where can he be in a good mood?
After hesitation, he called Rui Qingqing, "Qingqing."
Rui Qingqing asked, "what''s wrong with your voice?"
His voice sounds like an imperceptible anger, which can only be felt by people close to him.
As soon as she thought about it, she knew that maybe it was the yuan family that had provoked him.
"Yuan Xuting came back and ate at his old house in the evening." Yuan Hao said simply and comprehensively in classical Chinese.
Rui Qingqing a spirit, "I go with you."
"Well." That''s what Yuan Haowen meant when he called, "I''ll pick you up later."
On the one hand, he didn''t want to hide her, wanted her to accompany him all the time, and on the other hand, he wanted to listen to her opinions. Sometimes, onlookers were clear.
In the evening, go to the car of the old house.
Rui Qingqing and Yuan Haowen sat in the back row and did not speak.
It''s dark outside. Both of them know that this dinner is not only dinner, but also the first contest.
Soon, we arrived at the old house with bright lights.
Yuan Haowen and Rui Qingqing look at each other. Then Rui Qingqing reaches out and takes Yuan Haowen''s arm. They walk in slowly.
Tonight, a lot of yuan family members came. All those who can speak and those who can''t.
Yuan Binghua had been standing at the door and wanted to have a word with Yuan Haowen alone. When he saw someone coming, he stepped forward and said, "Haowen, I want to have a word with you."
Yuan Haowen had guessed what he wanted to say, but he didn''t refuse. He just stood and waited for him to write down, "Haowen, your uncle''s brother has come back. After a while, you have a good chat. Don''t get angry or quarrel, OK?"
"Yes." Yuan Haowen nodded and answered.
For him, Yuan Binghua''s warning should be well intentioned, but he did not have the courage to confront the elders of the yuan family.
Yuan Haowen looked at him, "does my uncle have a younger brother, Yuan Xuting? Do you know?"
"Well, there are." Yuan Binghua did not hide.
"Do you know why my uncle has never mentioned such a person for so many years? Why did they fall out? " Although Yuan Haowen can''t ask other elders about it, he can ask yuan Binghua. After all, he never had any thoughts about it.
Yuan Binghua''s eyes dodged, "no I don''t know. "
Yuan Haowen chuckled. He was not sure whether yuan Binghua knew the inside story or not. However, when he saw that he was not willing to say it, he gave up and stopped asking.
Rui Qingqing whispered to him, "he''s also dad''s younger brother. If he has a younger brother, shouldn''t he be the most clear?"
Yuan Haowen has no words.
Two people came into the house.
Sight, involuntarily looked around, but did not see any strange faces.
The elder headed by the yuan family came up and said, "Haowen is here. Your uncle is back. I''ll take you to meet him."
Yuan Haowen gave a "um" and then said nothing.
Two people were taken to the side surrounded by a group of people, "Xuting, come to see Haowen."
Yuan Xuting came over with his glass and looked up and down at Yuan Haowen and Rui Qingqing around him. He stretched out his hand and pinched Yuan Haowen''s shoulder as if he was familiar. "You''ve grown so big. When I left, you were still a baby in my hand. "
Yuan Haowen watched him quietly.
He was about fifty years old. He wore very elegant clothes, had his hair carefully taken care of, and had a pair of gold rimmed glasses on his face.
At first glance, it looks like a successful person.
However, there is a calculation in the eyes.
Yuan Xuting''s eyes turned to Rui Qingqing again, "is this Haowen''s daughter-in-law?"Rui Qingqing gave him a smile, "Hello, my name is Rui Qingqing."
She didn''t dare to call people uncle until she was sure whether they were yuan Xudong''s younger brother.
"Oh, we Haowen are so lucky to marry a beautiful girl like you." Yuan Xuting''s eyes are shining, and he doesn''t hide his love for Rui Qingqing.
Rui Qingqing smiles.
Yuan Haowen said, "did you see me when you were a child?"
Yuan Xuting said with pride, "of course, I held you. At that time, you didn''t look like you do now. Now you can grow into a handsome guy. If you meet me in the street, I don''t think I can recognize you
Yuan Haowen said with a faint smile, "is that right?"
Yuan Xuting didn''t seem to recognize the coldness in Yuan Hao''s writings. He was still very enthusiastic about what happened when he was a child. "Your uncle likes to hold you most, and he has to fight with me every time."
It''s hard for Yuan Haowen to imagine that such a severe yuan Xudong would have such a side. Thinking about it, his face relaxed a lot.
"It''s a pity that my elder brother is still so young. I didn''t even see his last face. I don''t know if he is still blaming me." Yuan Xuting feels the general road.
As the three were talking, the elders of the yuan family began to invite everyone to the table.
The positions of Yuan Haowen and Yuan Xuting are arranged very forward, while Rui Qingqing''s position is on the other table.
Yuan Haowen was a little dissatisfied with this. He stood up and went over to Rui Qingqing. He grabbed her hand and pulled the man to his desk. He asked the servant to add a stool.
Although people are unhappy, they have not had time to say that they have been preempted by Yuan Xuting, "Haowen is really good to Qingqing."
Rui Qingqing was embarrassed to smile.
Yuan Haowen did not speak.
During the dinner, Yuan Xuting, like the owner of the family, constantly asked everyone to eat more food. Don''t be polite and so on.
The elders of yuan family looked at him and became more and more gratified.
All of a sudden, the elder who was the leader finally couldn''t help but serve today''s biggest "main course". "Today, we are here to wash Xuting''s dust. By the way, we also want to talk about the trend of the yuan family in the future."
As he said it, he took a meaningful look at Yuan Haowen.
Yuan Xuting raised his glass and said, "I''m really happy to see you after so many years away. Let''s not talk about anything. I''ll do it first."
Then he looked up and drank.
Rui Qingqing doesn''t drink. Since she came in, she has been observing yuan Xuting''s words and deeds.
Although he looks like a successful elite, but I don''t know why, he always shows the air of a nouveau riche, which makes people feel very disobedient and uncomfortable at the same time.
After the elders of the yuan family finished drinking, they continued the topic just now, "after the unanimous discussion and decision of us, I hope Haowen can hand over the power of the yuan family and let your uncle take over. Your uncle has been living very well abroad these years. We can rest assured that the yuan family will be handed over to him. "
Yuan Xuting''s face was surprised. He didn''t even think about it. He directly refused: "you can''t do this."
Yuan Haowen has no wave on his face. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he takes a look at Yuan Xuting and hooks his lips.
Before he was sure of Yuan Xuting''s background, he would not make a rash decision like his elders.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "this matter needs further deliberation."
The elders of the yuan family were dissatisfied. "I''ve told you for a long time. What else do you need to discuss? We''re not here to ask for your advice. We''re here to let you know. If you don''t, you have to. If you do, you have to. "
Before Yuan Haowen could speak, Yuan Xuting had already said, "I''ve just come back. I don''t know about the yuan family. How can I shoulder this heavy responsibility? I think Haowen is very good. He is a stable young man. Under his management, the yuan family will get better and better. "
"Now that you are back, there is no one else in this family who has this ability and ability except you. You are the most suitable person, so don''t refuse any more." What the elder said was extremely firm.
In the face of their attention, Yuan Xuting was a little worried. "You may not know that I have several companies abroad, and I have no skills. Sometimes I''m too tired to sleep. Now I''m going to take over the yuan family. I''m afraid I can''t afford it. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution. "
The elders were satisfied with his refusal.
Such a modest person is the future leader of the yuan family. Look at Yuan Haowen again In contrast, it seems a lot colder.
In business, only people with Yuan Xuting''s temperament can get along well.
Yuan Xuting looked at all the people present and said, "thank you for your kindness and attention, but I really can''t accept it. If you can use me in the future, I will do my best to help the yuan family. After all, I am also a member of the yuan family. "Rui Qingqing didn''t say a word from the beginning to the end.
As she watched yuan Xuting and listened to what he said, she always had a strange feeling.
