Chapter 671: Chapter 672: No wonder no man wants you
Liu Ruyan spoke, “Brother, can I talk to Jia Xin alone?”
Xi Jiachen stood up, “You two should have a good talk. If some issues can be resolved, I don’t want them to escalate to a complete rupture.”
Having said that, Xi Jiachen stood up, “Everyone else, go have dinner in the restaurant.”
The rest went to the restaurant.
At dinner, Xi Yankai teased, “The Xi family is becoming more and more lively, thankfully second uncle’s romantic debts have finally reconciled. Zijun sister, luckily your character doesn’t resemble our second uncle’s at all. He’s a playboy, yet gave birth to you, an utterly devoted person. Your husband is surrounded by beautiful women, yet you endure it. Zijun sister, don’t tell me you’ve been influenced by second uncle?”
Xi Zijun raised her head, her gaze sharp, “The influence of one’s original family indeed cannot be overlooked. However, second brother, could your sexual orientation also be influenced by uncle?”
Xi Yankai’s sexual orientation was a sore spot for Xi Jiachen.
Upon this mention, Xi Yankai dared not confront Xi Zijun in front of Xi Jiachen.
He could only swallow down his resentment.
Xi Jiachen’s expression also darkened, there had been quite a few incidents happening at the company and at home recently.
He was spent, completely exhausted.
Xi Jiachen turned his head to address Gu Zhaohan, “Xiao Han, how far along are you with the matter I mentioned to you last time?”
All eyes in the room turned to Gu Zhaohan.
Everyone understood Xi Jiachen’s only stubborn wish for Gu Zhaohan was for him to return to work at the company and gradually take over the family business.
It was just a shame that this was not part of Gu Zhaohan’s plan.
Gu Zhaohan spoke, “I have absolutely no interest in business matters, and I don’t know how to run a business.”
“You’re so smart, as long as you’re willing to learn, within three to five years, you will definitely be able to hold your own. I’m getting old, and besides Zijun, I don’t have competent people around me. Moreover, when you get married and have children with Yangyang in the future, surely you can’t always live in the United States. No doubt, I want to groom your child as the successor.”
Gu Zhaohan casually responded, “Even if I really have a child in the future, I only hope that he can live his life the way he wants. I don’t want him to be any successor.”
Xi Jiachen was furious, he threw his chopsticks into the bone plate, “Are you all trying to drive me to my death? Do you really want the Xi family’s large business to have no successor, or wish for me to succumb to fatigue and not have a peaceful old age? I, Xi Jiachen, have three sons. I originally thought all three sons could be relied on, but I didn’t expect all of you…”
Xi Jiachen was so angry that he couldn’t even eat anymore and stood up to leave.
After Xi Jiachen left, Xi Yankai let out a sigh and persuaded, “Third brother, just agree to father. In his eyes, you are the only capable son. He regards my elder brother and me as ornaments.”
Xi Zijun spoke indifferently, “Aren’t you just an ornament?”
Xi Yankai suddenly stood up, “Xi Zijun, let me tell you, I’ve put up with you for quite a while. Don’t think just because you’re the general manager you can step on my head. The Green Source Ecology case was my hard work over the past year. You rejected it just like that. You truly didn’t regard me at all.”
“Second brother, don’t bother bringing such rubbish proposals to me in the future. The investment is too big, the risks can’t be predicted, the market is unknown. The marketplace is the most brutal place, not your romantic fantasy.”
“Xi Zijun, all you see is money in your eyes. You’re so money-minded, no wonder no man wants you.”
