20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3512 Xiao Xuecheng's Doubts
How could Xiao Zijie possibly be willing to leave? Besides, ever since Shan Cai hit him with a brick, he had been traumatized and always felt that if he really went to her house alone in the middle of the night, this crazy girl might actually dare to take a kitchen knife and attack him.

Hearing that he was unwilling to go, Shan Qiang stopped talking. Her daughter had always been resistant to this arrangement. When she asked if there was someone she liked, her daughter rolled her eyes at her.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. When Shan Qiang asked her that question, she was quite afraid of the answer. Her daughter's reaction clearly showed that she didn't have any doubts at all, which put her at ease.

But since his daughter is so hostile to Xiao Zijie, if he goes there and she doesn't open the door for him, or even calls the property management to have the security guards come and kick him out, it would really be a big joke.

"You're hopeless! Don't you understand what your aunt means?"

Enraged, Xie Yuan pinched her son's arm hard, making Xiao Zijie cry out in pain.

Many years ago, Xie Yuan joked with Shan Qiang that they should arrange a marriage between their children, and Shan Qiang agreed with a smile at the time.

However, Niu Meng'en, who was doing carpentry work nearby, said in a low voice, "This isn't the old days anymore. How can we still arrange marriages like this, which is so feudal!"

Enraged, Shan Qiang yelled at him, "Are you an idiot? Can't you understand we're joking?"

Over the years, I've seen more and more single-color lottery tickets, and I've grown to like and appreciate them more and more.

Standing at 1.71 meters tall, neither too tall nor too short, with a figure, face, appearance, and temperament that are all exceptional, she is virtuous and self-disciplined, and so intelligent that even Xie Yuan was amazed that she could become the top science student in the province!
He's still a senior in college and hasn't graduated yet, but he's already independently managing a company, and I've heard he's doing quite well.

In addition, the two families have had a good relationship for many years and are familiar with each other. Back then, Master Shan had also helped Xiao Xuecheng. If they could become in-laws, it would definitely strengthen their ties.

And there's something that might sound a bit cliché: although Xie Yuan isn't a materialistic woman, Shan Qiang's assets are a real and tangible fact.

Back then, Shan Cai hit her son with a brick, and no matter how much she questioned him afterward, her unfilial son refused to say why.

Xie Yuan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on: a young boy, just beginning to experience love, rashly expressed his affection to the girl he admired, probably involving some impulsive actions like pulling and forcibly kissing. This angered Shan Cai, who, in a panic, grabbed something without even looking at it and slammed it over her son's head.

Moreover, there's another detail here: this is usually the best school in the city center, so there aren't many bricks nearby. Besides, even if there were bricks, if Shan Cai really wanted to smash one, she would have to bend down to find it.

The son isn't stupid either. When he saw her bend down to pick up the brick, even if he didn't take it from her, wouldn't he at least run away? Why would he just stand there and let her hit him?
Xie Yuan and Shan Qiang had both mentally reviewed and speculated that Xiao Zijie had tricked Shan Cai into going to a remote place, most likely one of the urban villages undergoing demolition or a construction site. They even suspected that he had the audacity to think of something as cunning as trying to force a relationship on her.

He pinned Shan Cai to the ground and started kissing her in a hurry, but Shan Cai ended up hitting him.

This was roughly what Xiao Xuecheng and Niu Mengen were thinking, but they just didn't say it.

After smashing it, Niu Meng'en rushed back from the mountain city, even carrying an axe, intending to go find Xiao Zijie, but was sternly stopped by Shan Qiang. "Forget it, it's children's business, you adults shouldn't meddle. They are still in school and should focus on their studies."

Xiao Xuecheng felt that Shan Qiang and his woman were getting too attached to each other, and what his son said made a lot of sense. Although there weren't many things to discuss in tonight's game of cards, they were very important. Thinking things through clearly would also promote his maturity and growth.

"Since the Rose Group's situation is already a fait accompli, Xiao Dan, you shouldn't hold a grudge anymore."

Am I holding a grudge?

Shan Qiang and Xiao Xuecheng were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for the special circumstances of the era, which led her to Niu Meng'en's hometown at the age of seventeen or eighteen, while Xiao Xuecheng joined the army, their life paths would have been completely different.

Therefore, my interactions with others have always been very casual.

"You're still holding a grudge."

Xiao Xuecheng laughed: "Don't dwell on this. If it were me, I would also hold a grudge. But from another perspective, isn't Zhao Chang'an's choice perfectly normal? I was wondering before, you've already bullied him, why is he still putting up with it? Last October, at his vehicle factory's closing ceremony, I just kindly suggested that Xiao Jie intern at his company during the summer vacation as a way of supporting him, but he still managed to embarrass me. I'm a person with a temper too, and I was so angry that I didn't even eat lunch before heading back to Zhengzhou. As a result, I had a hypoglycemic attack halfway there, which really made me feel terrible."

"You too, you don't even know you have low blood sugar. And Xiao Fang, how come you forgot to bring honey?"

When the matter is mentioned, Xie Yuan feels both lingering fear and deep resentment.

"Look at you, still holding a grudge. It's not his fault. He wanted to go upstairs to get the honey, but I didn't let him. It's still very hot inside the car during the National Day holiday, and honey can easily spoil if left in the car for a long time."

Xiao Xuecheng said, "It's nothing. Even if we really need help, there are many villages and towns along the highway. We can always find some sugar at any shop. Xiao Fang is quite capable. I was wondering why he seemed a bit afraid of you. Turns out you were the one giving him the cold shoulder."

“I didn’t give him a hard time. I just asked him why he didn’t bring honey. As his secretary, he should know that you need to take care of your health. Do you need someone to remind him?”

"You're not just giving him attitude, you're practically pointing your finger at him and yelling at him."

Xiao Xuecheng didn't bring up the matter again, but instead steered the conversation back to the main point: "So, as a successful businessman, how could you not have anticipated this small order?"

This is also what puzzled Xiao Xuecheng. To this day, he still doesn't understand where Shan Qiang got the confidence to so blatantly kick Mi Xiaoyin and the others out. As long as Zhao Chang'an was unwilling, he could join forces with Mi Xiaoyin and the others, including Huang Juan, Jin Feiyue, and Shao Shouji, to use their combined shareholding advantage to forcibly reject Shan Qiang's proposal to bring in Mu Yongjin and the others, and then sideline Shan Qiang, or even remove her from the position of chairman of Luyuan Group.

What's strange is that Shan Qiang did it so do so arrogantly and confidently, and Zhao Chang'an actually cooperated with her throughout the process, cleaning up the Jiangzhe conglomerate led by Mi Xiaoyin.
