Chapter 12 - Family gathering

It was an unwritten rule of the Youyao Clan that no matter how busy Youyao was with his business, he would return home on time at the monthly family gathering.

The You family has a house on the outskirts of M City. It is said that it was the property that You Xuanyao’s great-grandfather bought back then. The You family has been a distinguished family since ancient times.

Being rich for less than three generations was like an eternal curse.

In the generation of You Xuanyao ‘s father, the heirs in the family were thin, and You Xuanyao ‘s father was sick for a long time, seeing that the estate of the You family was in danger.

Thanks to You Xuanyao’s mother, Lu Fanghua, a strong and patient woman, she used all of her mother’s strength to revive the precarious Youjia estate.

She had been exceptionally harsh on You Xuanyao since she was young, and You Xuanyao had lived up to everyone’s expectations. Although she had once sunk into an uncontrollable emotional whirlpool, she was lucky to escape in time and steadily take on the heavy responsibility of the clan.

You Xuanyao parked his car in the garage, passed through the garden, and walked along the pool in the quiet courtyard of the You Clan.

He lived here, but he didn’t have much lingering nostalgia for this place. Apart from visiting his mother once a month, he never came back.

You Xuanyao was said to be emotionless and didn’t care about anything.

However, what was that ring that was quietly hanging on his neck and lying on his chest, swearing an oath?

Now that it was empty, You Xuanyao could not help but rub it habitually. He had already returned it to that woman, so how could he still be by her side?

“Cousin, you’re here.”

A ball of red ran over and grabbed You Xuanyao’s arm.

The one running over was You Xuanyao ‘s cousin, Xia Huai. She was a college student in the United States Academy. She was young and full of vitality. She grew up with her cousin, Aunt Lu Fanghua. She loved to pester You Xuanyao since she was young.

However, You Xuanyao only treated him as his biological sister and doted on him a little more.

“I heard that you ran to my office. You can’t do this next time. It’s an office, no more than home.”

“Cousin, I know. I’m here to remind you. That Gu Panpan clearly came to make a fuss with you.”

“Alright, I don’t need a little girl like you to interfere in my affairs. Make more friends and don’t keep circling around me.”

You Xuanyao broke free from Xia Huai’s restraints and quickly walked into the inner room.

Xia Huai looked at You Yao’s back and gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes.

She had liked this man for so many years, but he had always been thousands of miles away from her. What was wrong with her? Since childhood, there have always been many boys around, who dares to say that she is not good.

However, he didn’t like it. It turned out that even the most beautiful person was so humble and insignificant in front of people who didn’t like him.

“Haha, silly girl, where’s Sisun again?”

Suddenly, his head trembled. Xia Huai turned around and saw that it was the Chaos Demon King You Xuanheng. Just as he was about to fight back, he heard the housekeeper call for the two of them to hurry into the room to eat.

” You Xuanheng , remember this.”

“Call me Brother. I haven’t seen you for half a year, but you’re still a college student.”

“Hmph ~”

Whether western food was cold or raw, Lu Fanghua prepared a table of Chinese dishes for every family banquet.

Eating without saying anything, sleeping without saying anything, the unwritten rules of the You Clan.

After everyone took their seats, they quietly ate their dishes. Only the sound of tableware colliding could be heard.

“Xuanheng, it’s been almost half a year since you came back from France. Are you going to make your own living, or are you going to help your brother take care of Yuekai in the company? There must be something you need to do.”

Lu Fanghua suddenly spoke. Everyone raised their heads and focused their gazes on You Xuanheng .
