    The cheerful music and the laughter of the guests were blocked out by the heavy study door.  The men of the Rong family and the Meng family stood on opposite sides of the study room, facing each other, with their hands clasped on the gun cases at their waists.  The tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, and no one dared to act rashly.

    "Compared with Rong Dingkun's alert and nervous expression, Meng Xu'an looked much more relaxed.  He poured himself a glass of wine, added ice cubes, and sat on the leather sofa.

    "Brother Rong, why don't you sit down and talk." Meng Xu'an crossed his slender legs, "This is your home, and there are hundreds of guests outside, what can I do to you?"

    Rong Dingkun¡¯s stiff face gradually relaxed, and the corners of his drooped mouth barely curled up, returning to his mature and shrewd normal state.

    "Xu'an really impressed me!" Rong Dingkun sat down on the sofa opposite and sighed like a friendly senior, "I often saw you in the newspapers before, and I just thought you were just doing some small business when you returned to China.  When I think about it, it turns out that you are the chairman of Wynn Bank. After not seeing each other for so many years, I should be very impressed. You really hide it well."

    "The Meng family's skinny camels are always bigger than horses." Meng Xu'an also smiled like a close junior with a friendly relationship. "Relying on the support of the family, I have done a lot of work. It is not an achievement. It can only be said that it is not."  As for being ashamed of our ancestors."

    Rong Dingkun laughed twice: "I have often thought of you and your sister over the years Qingzhi, how are you doing?"

    Meng Xu'an shook the ice cubes in the wine glass and said coldly: "The eldest sister has passed away."

    Rong Dingkun was shocked and couldn't believe it.  And Meng Xu'an's calm eyes once again confirmed to him the authenticity of the news.

    Rong Dingkun¡¯s shoulders were shaking and he asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t anyone tell me?¡±

    Meng Xu'an's mouth curved into a sarcastic curve: "If Brother Rong really cares about Sister, he will naturally ask for news about her, so why wait for others to tell you?"

    Rong Dingkun was speechless. After a moment, he gasped and asked, "When did it happen?"

    Meng Xuan said: "She got sick after our family went to the United States. We reluctantly delayed it for more than half a year, but it still didn't work. She left quite peacefully, and she didn't mention you again."

    "You left so early? Where are you buried?"

    "San Francisco."

    Rong Dingkun slumped his shoulders and sighed: "I really didn't expectshe is still so young. I always thought she was living a good life. She got married in the United States, but now I'm afraid her children are too old."

    Meng Xuan¡¯s eyes flashed slightly, he lowered his gaze and took a sip of wine.

    "So Xu'an, you are you concentrating on working in the bank now?" Rong Dingkun asked again.

    "The Meng family's business stall is already small, and my brother is watching over me, so I don't need to do anything." Meng Xu'an said, "It's just that the situation is not stable now, bank lending risks are high, and it is affected by the war. If you are not careful,  It's easy to lose everything. I think the Rong family is in a state of prosperity, and it's not what it used to be. I'll have to ask my eldest brother, Haosheng, for some business advice someday."

    "Thank you." Rong Dingkun's back was soaked with sweat, and the soft flesh on his face was twitching. There were layers of wrinkles, and his tiredness and old age were becoming more and more difficult to hide. "Young people like you, Xu'an, are rising stars.  He is the master of the future. My old bones can no longer keep up with the times."

    Meng Xu'an took a look at the gorgeous large study: "This house was built later. I remember that at that time, the Rong family was just a two-story building."

    Back then, the Rong family had more than just a small foreign-style building.  Rong Dingkun was heavily in debt at the time, and his family property had been sold off until only one house remained.  Without the help of Miss Meng Qingzhi, the Rong family would have gone bankrupt long ago.  Miss Meng's infatuation did not win Rong Dingkun's sincerity, but instead brought her the greatest humiliation in her life.

    "I'm sorry for your eldest sister." Rong Dingkun looked cryptic and heartbroken, "She treated me wholeheartedly, but I couldn't repay her affection. Over the years, I haven't missed her a day. But I didn't have the courage to ask for news about her.  .I really didn¡¯t expect her to be so miserable"

    "Come on!" Meng Xu'an sneered and rushed towards Rong Dingkun with a sharp ice-breaking blade: "Boss Rong was very courageous when he seduced my sister and coaxed her into smoking."

    Rong Dingkun seemed to have been slapped in the face, his face was livid, and he did not speak for a long time.

    Meng Xuan¡¯s slender and steady hand held the wine glass, and the wall of the glass reflected his handsome and deep silhouette.

    "The Meng family has been blessed by the ancestors and is surviving. I have not been able to revive the family business bit by bit. In fact, money is all external possessions, but the treasure of the family cannot be left outside. Boss Rong, what did you do back then?  Where is the Warring States Golden Qilin that my sister coaxed away now?"

    &nSister, step gently and feel the tranquility and warmth of this moment.

    The last time they got along so peacefully and quietly was five years ago before Feng Shixun went abroad.

    "Do you still remember how you held me and cried before I went abroad?" Feng Shixun asked with a low smile.

    "Why are you mentioning my embarrassing things?" Feng Shizhen couldn't laugh or cry, "I was still young at that time, so of course I couldn't bear to leave you."

    ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about the past lately,¡± Feng Shixun said. ¡°At that time, I thought my life was ordinary, but compared with now, it¡¯s already very sweet.¡±

    ¡°Our family has now gone through the most difficult period, and it will only get better and better in the future.¡± Feng Shizhen said.

    "Zhen'er," Feng Shixun asked, "have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

    "The future?"

    "You can work in the Rong family for another half year at most. You don't want to just be a teacher forever, do you?"

    Feng Shizhen said: "Teaching is a well-respected profession and the salary is good."

    "Don't you want to study abroad?" Feng Shixun asked.

    Feng Shizhen laughed in horror: "Where can our family have the money? Besides, what should I study?"

    "You can study whatever you want to study." Feng Shixun said, "You are so smart, no matter what you study, you can excel. This is what my brother owes you. I will find a way to pay for studying abroad."

    "How do you say it comes out as soon as it comes out?" Feng Shizhen said hurriedly, "I haven't said that I want to study abroad. Besides, the money you save now is for me to marry my sister-in-law in the future, so you can't spend it randomly."

    "Why are you spending money indiscriminately?" Feng Shixun frowned and looked at his sister seriously, "I hope you can think more about yourself."

    Feng Shizhen smiled and snuggled into his brother's arms: "I'm very well now. Don't look at the rich girls around you. Even if nothing happens to our family, we can't compare with them. Dad always said that we are content with what we have. We  My family is quite respectable in the local area."

    ¡°You are always more open-minded than me.¡± Feng Shixun sighed.  #####(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
