"That's right." Xia Yunbai's tone was a little more proud. Xia's rapid development in the past ten years is most directly related to his efforts. "But you know, I take the entire Xia family, every time I go

When you take a step forward, how nervous and uneasy do you feel and feel like you are walking on thin ice?"

Silent. Faced with his father's words, Xia Ruxuan didn't know how to respond.

"You may not understand it now, but this world is a naked network of interests. When you are strong enough, you can grab a corner of this network and share the harvest. But if you take a wrong step, you will also

Roll in with your power and be shared by others. Gradually it turns into a game where the big fish eats the small fish, unless you are willing to withdraw... But, is it possible?"

"Although the Xia family is now considered one of the most powerful forces, all of this is built in a delicate environment." Xia Yunbai said slowly, while Xia Ruxuan sat on the sofa and thought about what Xia Yunbai meant without saying a word.

"The Xia family and the Mo family are family friends." Xia Yunbai suddenly said in a confused manner, "When your grandfather and your grandfather met, New China had not yet been established. At that time, the Xia family was a wealthy family in southern Jiangsu.

Your grandfather is a young master from a branch of the Xia family, and your grandpa is still an ordinary student, participating in various student movements with others.

It’s very strange that two young people from completely different levels of society got to know each other like that.”

"Are you saying that the current Xia family is just a side branch?"

Too lazy to mention the glory of the Xia family.

"Yes," Xia Yunbai said with a smile, "That's what your grandfather told me. But when I have memories, the Xia family has been torn apart in the years since the founding of New China and the ten years of catastrophe. Today's Xia family is just

It was just a branch back then, but it seems that this is the only one left now."

The reason why your grandfather was able to hold on to some of the family property was also inseparable from your grandfather's help. During those years, your grandfather rose through the ranks, became a shining red star in the political world, and established a huge network of political connections.

After the catastrophe ended, the entire Xia family started working hard again.

Your mother and I arranged a baby wedding, and the wedding day was the third time we met."

Xia Ruxuan seemed to vaguely begin to grasp the key points of what his father wanted to say.

In his memory, it was in the summer of this year that he and his father had a huge quarrel over an engagement that he had never had a say in. Xia Ruxuan had an idea, could it be that this was what his father wanted to say?

"Now, the Xia family and the Mo family are both old." Xia Yunbai sighed. "In my generation, there are no people who can compare with your grandparents. The Xia family seems to be in the middle of the sky.

But in fact, it has begun to loosen and is on the verge of collapse." After saying this, Xia Yunbai suddenly added inexplicably, "Your grandpa is no longer in good health."

If it were Xia Ruxuan eight years ago, no matter how hard he tried, he would never believe that the Xia family would be on the verge of collapse. But now, Xia Ruxuan, who has returned here with the memories of eight years later, is deeply impressed by his father's foresight.

Shocking - it turns out that he had foreseen the day when the Xia family would fall as early as eight years ago.

"The Xia family will continue to provide fresh and energetic blood to support it. Before your generation can work hard, the Xia family needs to be bundled with other forces. Apart from interests, the most solid bundle is marriage." Xia Yunbai's face became stern.

, looking towards Xia Ruxuan.

"When you are here, you have to think about this family. I was originally worried that you wouldn't understand, so I haven't talked to you about these things for a long time, but I believe that even if you can't understand now, you will one day understand.

." Xia Yunbai's complexion softened.

Xia Ruxuan was speechless. The thing he was most worried about finally appeared.

"The daughter of the Su family is eighteen years old this year." Xia Yunbai raised his head and sighed. "In recent years, the momentum of the Su family has been extremely rapid. In the business, political, and military circles, people from the Su family are all active. In China,

People like Xia who are devoted to the business world and interests will inevitably fall in the end..."

But he didn't expect that there were so many things hidden behind his father's actions that seemed to him to be controlling his life because of his stubbornness. He needed time to think about it. The original unhurried pace seemed to have to be changed because of this.

Everything was disrupted again.

He is nineteen years old, and he has no doubt that he will be forced to marry within three years of their engagement.

This is the tragedy of being in a rich family. Many times, one's destiny is controlled by his superiors. But he knows that the way to solve everything is definitely not to resist, and he absolutely cannot resist.

Xia Yunbai wanted to catch something from Xia Ruxuan's face, but he failed. Xia Ruxuan just stood there calmly, without showing any surprise.

For a long time, the father and son were silent in the study.

Although he was very reluctant that this would happen again, Xia Ruxuan also understood that he had no choice. He was still too weak now. Although he had improved in front of everyone, it was only a slight improvement.

It's just an engagement party now, and he should still have time to change a lot of things. He has to create enough time for himself without destroying everything. That way, even if he is powerless in the end, he won't be helpless.

But such things are never that simple.

Father and mother have always treated each other with respect. It was only after many years of marriage that they had their own relationship. This is the tragedy of a political marriage.

Now that he had relived his life, he didn't want to be controlled anymore, he wanted to change everything. He had to change everything.

As if sighing, Xia Ruxuan licked his dry lips with his tongue, "I understand. I follow my father's teachings in everything. I'm going back to my room."

"Um."

Forgetting to take a final look at the study, Xia Yunbai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back on his back and his proud posture of standing with his hands behind his back. Xia Ruxuan remembered that he liked standing here and looking at everything outside the window.

Returning to his room, Xia Ruxuan fell directly on the bed. His head hurt a little. There were too many things that he needed to sort out in the past few days. For example, Qin Yun and Liu Yi who appeared next to him seemed to be with them.

There have been some small and subtle changes in the relationship that you have to control yourself; for example, in the past few days, I have vaguely felt something strange.

What's going on in the series of conflicts? For example, how should he slowly become stronger? If everything depends on Xia's family, it will actually be meaningless in the end. The gold market is an opportunity, then he should

What should I do? Or how can I improve my grades enough to enter Sunan University in one month?

Originally, I just wanted to experience life. But now it seems that the burden on my body is getting heavier and heavier, which is a bit difficult. It doesn't matter, men have to be cruel to themselves. Xia Ruxuan thought.

He didn't have the shame to ask his uncle for help after speaking so eloquently.

But it's a bit of a headache to think that all this is just a problem that needs to be dealt with in a short period of time.

The road ahead is even more blurry.

Only then did he realize that even if he was reborn, it would still not be easy to live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Who said that after rebirth, you can immediately change your appearance and have all your dreams come true?

Xia Ruxuan suddenly realized that he really didn't have much time left.

He got up and walked to the desk. He lowered his head and began to think about the issue of the investment term sheet.
