Not only did Xiao Yan not show any impatience, but these people present did not show any impatience. Until Xiao Yan finished with the youngest, teenage mixed race boy at the end, these talents bowed to Xiao Yan and turned back to the car. Although it was obviously not specially trained and did not deliberately do so neatly, it did look quite spectacular.
Shen Xinbai didn't dare to ask where these people suddenly came out, because this atmosphere is obviously not suitable. And... I always feel that such a shameful question should be asked secretly when I am alone with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Qing got on the bus and rushed back to Paris.
"The Xiao family has an old house in the suburbs, but they haven't lived for a long time. Only an old servant is taking care of it." Xiao Qing broke the silence and introduced Shen Xinbai.
"Will we all live there in the next few days?" Shen Xinbai asked.
"No," Xiao Qing said with a smile, "let's go there and have a big meal, and then you and Xiao Yan will go back to the city."
"Why?" Shen Xinbai didn't understand.
But Xiao Qing smiled so that she felt... This question should not be asked.
Seeing Xiao Qing looking at Xiao Yan and looking at her, Shen Xinbai knew that this must be the arrangement of Xiao Yan. It is estimated that the boy is thinking: if you make people in another place, Feng Shui is different, you may succeed!
So the next few days... Shen Xinbai can't think of it!
How can we escape the fate of being entangled by Xiao Yan?
"Elder sister, how lonely you are to stay here. Let me accompany you." Shen Xinbai said.
"Don't bother me," said Xiao Qing. "I have an appointment with a piano teacher. I'll have classes these days."
"Sister, you play very well. You're better than the teachers in Yaoyao school. You don't need to learn any more. You teach others almost... Uh huh... Uh huh..."
Before he finished, Xiao Yan covered his mouth. Hearing his disgust, he said, "do you think everyone has no pursuit like you? It's never too old to learn. Do you understand? Xiao Qing's appointment is a world-class famous man. It's hard to make an appointment. Don't make trouble for people, okay?"
"Uh huh." Shen Xinbai nodded.
Finally freed. They all felt that their faces were pinched by Xiao Yan. Take out a small mirror to have a look and find that it is.
Do you want to do that? Do you have a grudge against me?
The Xiao family's house on the outskirts of Paris is not particularly publicized. It may be for safety. Sometimes, keeping a low profile is the best security measure, better than more than a hundred bodyguards. But even if it is not particularly publicized, the situation is similar to that of the Xiao family's old house in China. In this area, it is still very conspicuous.
Because he has been used to living in the Xiao family's old house, Shen Xinbai doesn't think there is anything new or unsuitable this time. Because the layout here is really similar to the Xiao family's old house.
The housekeeper had already prepared a table of rich French food. Shen Xinbai doesn't know how to taste, because she is too sleepy and hungry. When Xiao Yan and Xiao Qing tasted it slowly, Shen Xinbai had put down his knife and fork and said softly and civilly, "I've run out."
Hearing that Shen Xin used the word "use" in vain instead of saying "I'm full" and "I'm full", Xiao was so frightened that a mouthful of red wine gushed out of the banquet.
"I'm going to bed. Don't call me anything except the earthquake." Shen Xinbai stretched his waist.
The old housekeeper pointed Shen Xinbai to the room on the second floor and said it had just been arranged for them early in the morning. Shen Xinbai is suddenly curious. How long has no one lived here?
So he asked the housekeeper. The French housekeeper said in fluent Chinese: "fifty years ago, the master lived here for some time. At that time, I just took over the position of housekeeper from my father. At that time, the master was only in his twenties, and the young man and young master sun had not been born."
The old housekeeper refers to young master sun and Xiao Yan. It can be seen how old it is here. But Shen Xinbai doesn't feel gloomy. Instead, he feels at ease with the protection of his ancestors.
Shen Xinbai takes a hot bath and lies comfortably on the bed. Just after the Xiao banquet, he goes back to his room.
Without looking at Shen Xinbai, he went to take a hot bath. When he came out, he thought of talking to her: "think about it. Where do you want to go?"
"I want to sleep... I want to sleep. No one should stop me..." Shen Xinbai turned over and didn't want to talk to him.
Maybe it's because I'm too tired, but I can't sleep.
Xiao Yan lay down beside her. Shen Xinbai turned over and said, "are those people from the Xiao family today? Why haven't I heard of you? I thought we were the only ones left in the Xiao family..."
"How can it be?" Xiao Yan said. "It's just the family owner. We're the only ones left. Some of the people you see today are the descendants of Grandpa's brothers, some are the descendants of great grandfather's brothers, and all are brothers and sisters with the blood of the Xiao family."
"They all have their own businesses. Xiao's headquarters only accounts for some shares in their group. In fact, they are irrelevant to each other. They will only help each other in case of crisis. But if there is a crisis at the headquarters, I can solve the small crisis by myself, and they can't help the big crisis."
Xiao Yan carefully explained to Shen Xinbai: "so for them, the Xiao family headquarters is a solid and powerful backing; for the Xiao family headquarters, these people... How to say... Must take the responsibility."
"Every generation of the Xiao family's owners is passed on to only one person. In order to avoid internal intrigues, all the Xiao family's children who are not heirs must go out and establish their own homes after they reach the age of 30. The owner, that is, the successor of the group, has absolute power, but also undertakes the responsibility to protect the long-term prosperity of all the Xiao family's children's enterprises. This is an exchange of equal value."
"From generation to generation, the children of the Xiao family will be farther and farther away from the core of the Xiao family. At that time, they would complain about their father and their brothers who became the heirs of the family owner. However, from generation to generation, the blood of the Xiao family is inherited, but the complaints will not be inherited. Therefore, a very stable situation has been formed. Everyone has his own destiny and does not interfere with each other on weekdays, but If something happens, it's still a family that will get together. "
Seeing that Shen Xinbai listened carefully, Xiao Yan explained very carefully. He told Shen Xinbai everything he could think of at the moment. I didn't realize how strange it was to say so much together. Just thought she wanted to hear it, he told her carefully.
Therefore, he continued: "In Grandpa's generation, grandpa is the only son, and both sons are excellent, so it's difficult to choose. And grandpa is very innovative. The business territory of the Xiao family has expanded a lot when Grandpa manages. No one will doubt grandpa's ability, and no one dares to resist grandpa's decision. So Grandpa decided to keep both sons in the group, Abolish this system. "
"As a matter of fact, those little children who go out on their own, except grandpa's cousins, are far away from the Xiao family because of their age. They won't manage the change of the group headquarters system. As for Grandpa's cousins, they can't manage. It's a pity... In the end, the Xiao family is only managed by their uncle, and this generation is only me."
Shen Xinbai angrily heard Xiao Yan say so many words, but he didn't feel that he was wordy at all. Instead, he felt that the boy's words were so pleasant for the first time. So he took his hand and said emotionally, "not only yourself, but also me."
"Hum... Didn't you say that you and Lu Jiayi are the only ones left in the Lu family? Can't you abandon him?" Xiao Yan said.
Er... Shen Xinbai realized again what it means to lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot.
Xiao Yan suddenly sighed: "that's why, obviously, there are other relatives in the Xiao family, but my uncle and I always subconsciously think that the Xiao family is only us. In fact, this system is unwise. It's only passed down from generation to generation. Due to the formulation of our ancestors, we don't dare to overthrow it."
"If it weren't for ancestor worship, how could these people get together? Even on weekdays, they don't know each other. The Xiao family are all proud children abandoned by the family. They don't want to meet and remind each other of their pain, and they don't want to come back. Fortunately, they still have buried respect for the leader of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yan looked at Shen Xinbai and said solemnly and seriously, "so we must have a lot of life in our lifetime. Anyway, grandpa has overthrown the system and let our sons shake with the help of the group in the future."
Hearing him say "sons...", Shen Xinbai felt his head hurt.
"I'm really going to sleep. I'm too sleepy to understand what you're talking about." Shen Xinbai covered his head with a quilt and turned over.
After Shen Xinbai's indomitable persistence, it finally made sense for Xiao Yan and Xiao Qing. They were kicked out the next morning.
Walking on the streets of a foreign country with Xiao Yan and his luggage, Shen Xinbai suddenly felt a little sad.
"Where shall we go next?" Shen Xinbai asked.
"I don't know. Listen to you." Xiao Yan said smartly.
Shen Xinbai was stunned: "didn't you arrange it in advance?"
"No," said Xiao Yan, "I think this is a trip for both of us. We should arrange it together."
Shen Xinbai held his forehead and sighed. There's no way. In a foreign country, the best thing to use is the network through the world.
First, I found a cafe, studied and understood the usage of the network here, and Shen Xinbai checked several accommodation places.
It was originally a five-star hotel, but... Seeing the pedestrians walking leisurely on the street outside, Shen Xinbai suddenly gave up the idea and shifted her search goal. Instead, she went to find a monthly rent apartment. Why stay in a hotel? Why not find a place with a family atmosphere?
I took a fancy to a good place and didn't win Xiao Yan's opinion at all. I called the landlord when I went to the bathroom. However... The problem occurred. The landlord was a genuine French and his English was not fluent.
But the house is really nice. It's not big, but it's beautifully decorated and warm.
"Xiao Yan, can you come over for a moment? Er... Shen Xinbai finally decided to ask Xiao Yan for help.
