Xu Xinlan is the adopted daughter of Xu Jingxi's grandfather. Because this generation is older than Xu Jingxi, Xu Jingxi shouted, "aunt LAN."

Although it is an aunt's generation, the appearance of this aunt really looks a little young.

Su Rui looked at this Xu Xinlan carefully. Since she is the woman Xu Jingxi trusts most in the whole Xu family, she must have something extraordinary.

"Jingxi, you've been suffering outside for the past two years." Xu Xinlan held Xu Jingxi's hand, and her eyes became redder.

Su Rui believes that this is the embodiment of true feelings.

"Aunt LAN, I'm back." Xu Jingxi's eyes are also red.

"I'm back, but I guess you'll have to look back in a few days." Xu Xinlan took out a paper towel and gently wiped her tears.

"And..." after a pause, Xu Xinlan said again, "I don't know when brother Xingmin can come back."

When saying this sentence, Xu Xinlan's tears suddenly burst out.

Su Rui sighed secretly.

The Xu family, a century old family with three generations of imperial chefs since the Qing Dynasty, is now completely divided by this generation.

This sentence is definitely not empty words. In history, the collapse of many large families was caused by brotherhood.

The Xu family, which has the highest status in the Chinese chef Jianghu, is really sad to come to this day.

"This is..." Xu Xinlan asked when she saw Su Rui holding the suitcase aside.

In fact, she already knew it in her heart.

Even if it's not Xu Jingxi, even if it's an ordinary girl, she chooses to take a man home, then the identity of this man is about to come out.

Su Rui smiled and didn't answer positively, but said, "aunt LAN, Hello, my name is Su Rui."

After that, he glanced at Xu Jingxi.

The latter coughed gently, and the pretty face rose a faint blush: "aunt LAN, this is... My boyfriend."

The relationship between male and female friends has been negotiated by the two of them in advance. In fact, if they don't say so, Su Rui is difficult to enter the door of the Xu family "in a fair way".

"That's nice, a talent." Xu Xinlan nodded, and seemed to have no doubt about the relationship between Su Rui and Xu Jingxi, and then said, "let's eat out first, and then go home."

"Well, good."

Xu Jingxi nodded and motioned to Su Rui. The latter clearly saw that the blush on Xu Jingxi's pretty face had not faded.

Xu Xinlan drives a white Audi Q7. Su Rui sits alone in the back row and looks around. He finds that this is a top model, which is also a million luxury car.

It seems that although Xu Xinlan is an adopted daughter who has not gone through the "household entry procedures", her position in the family is not low.

But think about it, it is true. How much wealth must the Xu family save after a hundred years of foundation? As long as you are diligent and don't be too extravagant, it will be enough for generations.

Before the founding of the country, Xu Yuanhua led his family back from Europe. This sincere heart moved everyone. Moreover, Xu Yuanhua has become a state banquet master and a leading figure in the chef industry. If the Xu family can be stable, then this honor will be maintained forever, and no one can change.

However, after the disappearance of Xu Xingmin, the flag figure of the Xu family, even outsiders can see the internal unrest of the Xu family. If this goes on, the Centennial family will only be an empty shell.

Su Rui sat alone in the back row, listening to Xu Xinlan chatting with Xu Jingxi in the front row.

"You haven't been at home for the past two years, and you don't know much about many things. Now, basically, your second uncle is responsible for all things at home."

Xu Jingxi pulled her hair around her ear, and her eyes showed a slight gloom: "it was the same before, and there was no big change."

In the past, the eldest xuxingmin has been obsessed with the kitchen, and nothing else. Except for a lot of disciples, in some family industries, it is managed by the second xuxinglong.

Of course, the latter also has this talent.

However, if more management work is done, the cooking instinct will become unfamiliar. Moreover, Xu Xinglong found that no matter how hard he worked, others will instinctively think of Xu Xingmin when referring to the Xu family.

After all, in this generation, although everyone's cooking is a master, only Xu Xingmin is recognized as the top person. The Xu family is based on cooking, and Xu Xingmin naturally becomes the flag of the family.

Disciples are all over the world.

This is a natural thing.

However, there is some imbalance in Xu Xinglong's heart.

After all, in his view, the Xu family's current development and so many industries are the result of his comprehensive layout.

He should be the one with the greatest reputation.

However, although Xu Xinglong did not openly express this idea, everyone can see his attitude from many details.

Although there are many small frictions between Xu Xinglong and his eldest brother on weekdays, Xu Xingmin, who has always focused on the kitchen, did not take it to heart.

However, the most intense conflict between the two brothers finally broke out.

Because after expanding the family industry, Xu Xinglong began to have capital to take a fancy to the unlimited prospects of the Xu family. Xu Xinglong was naturally very willing to enter it. He even thought of integrating all the industries under the Xu family into a multinational group. In that case, his wealth, reputation, influence and so on will reach a new level.

However, for this idea, the boss xuxingmin is rarely fiercely opposed.

Because Xu Xinglong wants to introduce Xu's capital from North America - pure foreign capital.

This is something Xu Xingmin doesn't want to see.

He has no intention of developing the Xu family into a so-called multinational group. After all, this is contrary to the ancestral teachings of the Xu family.

In the eyes of those deceased elders of the Xu family, it would be good for them to be cooks in peace of mind. As long as they do a good job in their profession, their reputation will naturally come. Wanting to set foot in too many industries means too much distraction, which is completely contrary to their family's "craftsman spirit".

In Xu Xinglong's view, Xu Xingmin's idea is simply unreasonable, too outdated, too out of date, and simply - a fool.

In this era, who will take the initiative to make trouble with money?

In fact, when Xu Xinglong denounced his brother, he didn't realize that it was the craftsman spirit of "Xu Xingmin" generation after generation that gave the Xu family its current reputation and status.

Although times have changed, the spirit of craftsman is always needed.

Xu Xinglong and Xu Xingmin stand on different positions, so we can't say who is wrong and who is right.

In the view of the boss xuxingmin, it is not impossible to introduce capital, but it is best to use the capital of some domestic acquaintances. Although he stays in the kitchen all day, he also knows that many good Chinese local enterprises are constantly invested by foreign capital until they are completely absorbed.

Xu Xinglong simply sniffs at the worry of his eldest brother Xu Xingmin. In his view, such a person who sticks to tradition has no future at all and will lead the whole Xu family into a dead end.

However, Xu Xinglong was still a little too hasty. He was too eager to prove himself and turn the Xu family industry into a monopoly giant in the chef industry. The capital from North America promised him a lot of support, but he had to sign a gambling agreement with extremely harsh conditions.

The content of the bet agreement is very simple - if Xu Xinglong can't meet the requirements of the capital side, there will be only one result - he gives up the Xu family and leaves himself out.

Xu Xingmin knew about the bet agreement, so he desperately opposed it. The two sides fought very fiercely and deadlocked for a long time, but they didn't get a suitable result.

However, since Xu Xingmin is a flag figure of the whole Xu family, it is basically difficult to do what he resolutely opposes.

Moreover, foreign capital is also interested in the gold lettered signboard of Xu Xingmin. After all, he is now the most qualified person in the Xu family to inherit the kitchen King plaque. If he doesn't agree, the competitive chef will lose at least half of his value.

Therefore, this matter was put on hold indefinitely.

Xu Xingmin doesn't pay too much attention to making money, but Xu Xinglong is different. If this thing is not completed in one day, he can't sleep well all day.

Until later, Xu Xingmin disappeared inexplicably during a business trip to attend an exchange meeting.

Two kitchen ace plaques have been hanging in the main hall of the Xu family's old house. After Xu Xingmin disappeared, the two plaques still look priceless, but everyone feels that there seems to be a sense of indefinability and ambiguity missing from them.

"Now your second uncle is stepping up the integration of family industry resources, and the negotiation with foreign capital has not been interrupted. I'm afraid that after a year, he will introduce the capital to the Xu family." Xu Xinlan said.

After hearing this, Xu Jingxi's eyes showed a slightly gloomy look: "if the Xu family lost the bet agreement, can the Xu family still be called the Xu family?"

Su Rui sat in the back row and said, "there are many century old stores in China that fell on this bet agreement and were finally completely controlled by foreign capital."

If Xu Xinglong insists on going his own way, he is likely to follow the old path of other century old brands. Speaking of playing capital, how can he be the opponent of those foreign professional capital players?

"I can't help it, and I can't stop it. Now only the eldest brother comes back to prevent this from happening." Xu Xinlan said, sighing again, "but if by that time, the Xu family can no longer be called the Xu family."

Where is home or home when brothers and sisters are at odds?

Xu Jingxi hesitated. "It's just that can my father come back? In the past two years, even the police have no clue."

At this point, unspeakable sadness flashed in her big eyes.

How can a living man suddenly disappear?

If it had happened in the war years, it might have happened, but now, the probability of happening is too low!
