Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

What surprised Yao Chen even more was that they were able to do many things in a way that made people of his level feel envious of them.

After cleaning the floor, Xiao Yan immediately left the room and ran towards his own restaurant.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Xiao Zhan and the others were already seated. The chopsticks on the table were still untouched. They were obviously waiting for Xiao Yan. They were chatting happily but with murderous intent.

Wait, there is a hidden murder intention???

Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned.

Is this the atmosphere when you eat at home?

After being stunned, Xiao Yan carefully glanced at the people sitting at the table.

There is his father Xiao Zhan, his elder sister Xiao Jing, his second sister Xiao Li, Xiao Jing and Qing Lin brought back by Xiao Li, his younger sister Xiao Xun'er, and Nalan Yanran who is always arguing with Xiao Xun'er?

Why is Nalan Yanran here?

Xiao Yan, who had just sobered up, obviously didn't have a very good brain, and it took him several seconds to react.

Yes, Nalan Yanran is originally a person from another family, but she is a guest of the Xiao family after all and cannot be neglected.

You can't just leave someone alone while your family eats, right?

Besides, Nalan Yanran is his fiancée, so it is only natural for him to have dinner with their family.

"Yan'er, are you awake?" Xiao Yu, who was chatting with Xiao Zhan, caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan standing at the door and asked with a concerned smile, "Do you feel better?"

"good."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished answering, Xiao Li's voice came over.

"Hahaha! I heard from Xun'er that you and Xiao Ning finished twelve jars? You are worthy of being my brother! You didn't embarrass my second sister!"

Listening to Xiao Li's heroic voice, Xiao Yan, who was not fully awake to begin with, felt dizzy and his body swayed, startling Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran. They both quickly moved to Xiao Yan's sides, stretched out their hands to support him, and spoke with concern.

"Brother Xiao Yan! Are you okay?"

"Xiao Yan! How do you feel?"

The two spoke at the same time and fell at the same time, then they were both stunned, looking at each other with obvious hostility in their eyes, and then they both smiled.

"Ms. Nalan, you are a guest. I will take care of Brother Xiao Yan. How can I trouble you?"

"What are you talking about, sister? I will be Xiao Yan's wife sooner or later. This is my responsibility. How can I let others do it for me?"

Their words were full of respect, but also filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. When their eyes met, there was a flash of lightning, making the whole room filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ji looked at the scene helplessly, while Xiao Li grinned excitedly, looking like he was ready to enjoy the show.

As for Xiao Qinglin, she was so young that she had never seen such a scene before. She curled up her small body, held on to the dining table with her little hands, and was already trembling.

Xiao Yan also felt the dangerous aura emanating from the two men. He shuddered all over, his mind instantly became clear, and he quickly broke free from the two men's hands.

"Well! I'm much better now! Don't worry!" Xiao Yan pushed the two back to the dining table and smiled awkwardly, "Ah~ I slept for the whole afternoon and I'm starving. Let's eat!"

At Xiao Yan's urging, the dinner party officially began.

"Father, please."

Xiao Yan held the wine jar and filled a glass of wine for Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan smiled with a happy look on his face.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan held the wine jar and filled Xiao Jing and Xiao Li with wine respectively. Xiao Jing smiled gently and nodded, while Xiao Li held the wine glass and looked at his brother and teased.

"Xiao Yanzi, do you want to come and have a drink with your second sister?"

"Forget it today."

Xiao Yan refused with a bitter look on his face. The headache he had felt had finally eased, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Li laughed out loud again, reached out and held Xiao Yan's head and ruffled his hair.

"Hahaha! Xiao Yanzi, you're still far away~"

Listening to his second sister's teasing, Xiao Yan curled his lips in embarrassment, put down the wine jar and sat back in his seat.

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting opposite him, with a gratified smile on his face.

If there is one thing that makes Xiao Zhan most satisfied in his life, it is that he has such a sensible and mature son.

The Xiao family is now able to unite as one, all thanks to Xiao Yan’s hard work.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan's efforts, there would still be constant struggles within the Xiao family until now, and it would be impossible for them to sit happily in the Xiao family compound like they did at noon.

Xiao Zhan thought so and slowly raised his wine glass. The others also raised their glasses and listened to what Xiao Zhan said next.

"Cheers to wishing our family a better and better new year!"

"cheers!!!"

Chapter 44 Weird Show

After dinner, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Jing and Xiao Li continued to drink and chat, while Xiao Yan stood up and said to Xiao Zhan.

"Father, I'm going to go prepare things with the others first."

"Oh, go ahead."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand lightly, Xiao Yan nodded, then came to Qing Lin, squatted down and spoke softly.

"Xiao Qinglin~ I'll take you to have some fun, okay?"

"Ok!"

After a day of getting along, Qing Lin had completely let down his guard against the Xiao family. He nodded happily after hearing what Xiao Yan said.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Wei's eyes revealed a deep sense of relief, and Xiao Li's eyes also revealed a rare tenderness.

Qinglin's father and mother, please rest assured.

Your daughter is doing well.

"Hey, what is Xiao Yan going to prepare?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Xun'er and asked. Xiao Xun'er raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Nalan Yanran with some displeasure.

"Ms. Nalan, I have a name, and don't you think it's rude to call me "Hey"?"

"Then how about I call you Sister Xun'er?" Nalan Yanran shrugged lightly.

".You should just ask me to feed you." Xiao Xun'er said this bluntly, and then replied, "The Xiao family's fixed evening program every year is prepared by us young people. We call it the New Year's Eve Party."

New Year's Eve party?

Nalan Yanran frowned tightly.

What is this?

While Nalan Yanran was thinking, Xiao Yan had already pulled Qinglin's hand and came to the door, looking back at the two of them.

"Xun'er, little foodie, let's go~"

"Coming~"

"I told you not to call me a little foodie!!!"

Several people came to the Xiao family compound laughing and talking. The leftovers on the tables from lunch had been dealt with, the tablecloths had been changed, and the originally dirty ground had been cleaned. The Xiao family members were discussing something around the wooden platform covered with red carpet.

"Xiao Yan is here!!!"

Someone shouted, and then the Xiao family members surrounded them in an instant. The excitement frightened Qing Lin, who was being held by Xiao Yan, so much that she hugged Xiao Yan's waist quietly and did not dare to let go. Even Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran who were standing beside them were pushed aside.

"Look at me, look at me!!! My show tonight is absolutely essential!"

"Get lost! What kind of show is that? Breaking bricks? You're really the one who came up with this kind of rubbish!"

"These are titanium alloy tiles! Not everyone can split them!"

"Can that still be called bricks?!"

Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the Xiao family's disciples, had helplessness written all over his face. He said to Xiao Yu who happened to be walking outside the crowd.

"Sister Xiao Yu, take Xiao Qinglin out first."

"Oh."

Xiao Yu responded and immediately reached out to pull Qing Lin out of the crowd. He gently comforted the slightly frightened Qing Lin, and looked at Xiao Yan who was surrounded by the Xiao family members, and smiled helplessly.

“It’s like this every year~”

"That's right~"

Xiao Xun'er also stood with her hands behind her back, watching the scene with a chuckle, while Nalan Yanran pointed at Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the Xiao family members, in a daze.

"What are they doing?"

"Every year, the younger generation like us go on stage to perform at the Xiao family's New Year's Eve party. However, due to time constraints, the number of performances we can have is very limited. In the end, it is Brother Xiao Yan who decides who will perform on stage."

Xiao Xun'er answered like this, and Xiao Yu, who was holding Qinglin, added.

"Under normal circumstances, as long as time permits, Xiao Yan will try his best to let everyone perform on stage. After all, everyone has prepared their programs for a long time, and Xiao Yan himself can't bear to reject them." Xiao Yu said, and her jade hand couldn't help but touch her forehead, with a few black lines on her face, "But every year there are always a few programs that are too weird, and Xiao Yan has to reject them even if he wants to."

"A show that's too weird?"

A big question mark appeared on Nalan Yanran's head.

Staying in the Xiao family for the past few days allowed her to gradually come to an understanding.

The entire Xiao family is a weird family. How weird is this program that can make this weird family feel weird?

Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran was actually a little curious and wanted to watch the weird show that Xiao Yu mentioned.

And at this moment, an excited voice suddenly rang out.

“My New Year’s book is done!!!”

When Nalan Yanran looked over, she saw Xiao Mei coming in from outside the Xiao family compound, holding a stack of stapled papers and running excitedly towards Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by the Xiao family members.

"Mei'er!" Xiao Yu suddenly called Xiao Mei to stop him, and waved at her in a puzzled look, "Come here first."

I don’t know why, but when Nalan Yanran heard the tone of Xiao Yu’s words, she always felt a little speechless?

When Xiao Mei heard Xiao Yu's greeting, she slowly suppressed her excitement and walked over.

When Xiao Mei approached, Nalan Yanran discovered something and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It was only an afternoon since we last met, but why did Xiao Mei look so much more tired? She even had dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Mei coming to him, Xiao Yu had a complicated expression on his face and stretched out his hand to her.

"Show me your script."

"Oh! This is my masterpiece!"

Xiao Mei handed the script to Xiao Yu with great pride, and raised her head with great pride, her nostrils almost pointing to the sky.

Xiao Yu took the script from Xiao Mei and opened it. Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran came over curiously, and even Xiao Qinglin in Xiao Yu's arms stood on tiptoe to watch together.

[The male protagonist Xiao Yan, the female protagonist Xiao Mei, the vicious female supporting actors Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, and the shameless male supporting actor Xiao Ning who should not exist in the world. 】

[The story tells about the gentle and weak heroine who gradually falls into the trough of life under the oppression of the vicious female supporting role and the shameless male supporting role. ]

[And at this moment, the affectionate, courageous, gentle and loyal male protagonist descended from the sky and drove away all the filth around the female protagonist. In the end, the male and female protagonists walked towards a happy new life together.]

hiss~~~

Without waiting to finish reading, Xiao Yu closed the script with lifeless eyes and expressionless face, tore the thick stack of papers into two halves, and threw them on the ground.

"Oh no!!! My masterpiece!!!!" Xiao Mei looked as if the sky had fallen. She fell to her knees helplessly, sobbing as she stared at the pieces of paper on the ground. "It took me three months to come up with this masterpiece."

"Three months ago, I was wondering why you were absent-minded at times. Did you think about these things during the training in the back mountain?" Xiao Xun'er looked unhappy. She then squatted down, showing a slightly gloomy smile, pointing at the broken script on the ground. "Also, Mei'er, I want to ask, forget about the other two, why did I become the vicious female supporting role? Am I not good to you normally?"

"Ah? Ah, this is necessary for the plot."

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's gloomy expression, Xiao Mei tapped her fingers lightly and turned her head away guiltily, not daring to look directly into Xiao Xun'er's eyes.

"Hey! What do you mean forget about the other two? I'm not happy that I was written into the script without my consent!" Nalan Yanran was dissatisfied when she heard Xiao Xun'er's words, and then she crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yu, "But it is indeed as you said, very weird, does she come up with this kind of thing every year?"

"Ah, she's really stupid." Xiao Yu responded in a low voice, pinching the bridge of his nose helplessly, "But besides her, there is another person who makes a fool every year."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Ning's voice came from outside the yard along with the sound of footsteps.

"Xiao Yan! Watch your cousin's show today."

"Xiao Ning, if you don't want your sister to lose her brother forever, then go back and put on your clothes, and forget about going on stage to perform."

Before Xiao Yan could reply, Xiao Yu's cold voice suddenly rang out.
