Mathematics class was the last class. As soon as the school bell rang, Xu Zhaixing hurriedly said goodbye to Cheng You, grabbed his schoolbag and hurried home.

At this time, her family was still living in the Rose Garden in the villa area of ​​this city.

Rose Garden is a long-established wealthy area in S City, where many successful people from the political and business circles come and go. In his senior year of high school, Xu's father sold the villa at a low price to repay the loan.

Xu Zhaixing had not been here since he graduated from high school. He was afraid of being moved by the scene, but the way home was etched deep in his memory. After getting out of the car, he couldn't wait to run all the way. When he got to the door of his house, he hesitated.

How afraid this is a dream.

She stared at the door with the word "Fu" on it for a long time. After her heartbeat stabilized, she slowly pulled her schoolbag and reached in to get the key. As soon as she unzipped the schoolbag, the security door opened with a snap from the inside.

Xu Zhaixing was nervous all over and stood blankly at the door.

A middle-aged woman wearing an apron was carrying two bags of garbage. When she opened the door and saw her, she smiled and said, "It's time for school to reach for the stars. I will cook when I come back from throwing out the garbage. Today I have your favorite sweet and sour short ribs."

Xu Zhaixing's throat was tight: "Aunt Liu, are my parents at home?"

Aunt Liu, the nanny, has already walked down the steps: "Your dad just came back, and your mom called to say she was working overtime and wouldn't be back for dinner. By the way, your second uncle is here too, and he brought you imported chocolates."

Xu Zhaixing's joy at returning home was instantly dashed by the word "Second Uncle".

The main culprit that caused the Xu family's bankruptcy was her, Xu Zhiwen, the second uncle of the Xu family.

Xu's father took advantage of the country's policy of encouraging self-employed businesses and founded Xingchen Culture Media Company. At that time, there were not many advertisements. Xingchen Media gradually monopolized the advertising industry in City S and became the leader of traditional media.

However, with the rise of new media, traditional media has been greatly impacted. When Xu Zhaixing was still young, he did not know that his father's company had begun to lose money year by year.

It was at this time that Xu Zhiwen tricked Xu's father into investing in venture capital.

Xu Zhiwen is the only top student in the Xu family who has returned from studying abroad. Although Xu's father has a large business, he has not gone to school for a few years and has an upright personality. He was unprepared for his trusted second brother and began to transfer funds.

But he didn't know that in fact, Xu Zhiwen's capital chain already had a huge deficit, and Xu Zhiwen's father was brought in just to make up for his losses. Later, Xu Zhiwen successfully escaped by transferring Xu's father's assets, but Xu Zhiwen's father got deeper and deeper into trouble.

.

When he decided to send his mother abroad for treatment, Xu Zhaixing accompanied his father to knock on the door of his second uncle's house.

She still clearly remembers Xu Zhiwen's disgusting face: "Third brother, it's not that the second brother won't help you, the second brother really has no money. If you lose money, I am also a victim. Of course there are risks in investing, why?

Can you blame me?"

Xu Zhiwen, who said he had no money, bought his son a limited edition sports car the day after Xu's father sold the company.

Xu's father was honest. When he found out about this, he just wiped away his tears and said to Xu Zhaixing: "Don't blame him. Helping is a matter of friendship. Not helping is a duty. Don't blame others."

Xu Zhaixing always remembered this sentence, and during the most difficult time, he never spoke to relatives of the Xu family again.

All the memories that he had not wanted to recall for many years flooded into his brain, almost making Xu Zhaixing feel like he was furious.

She was so angry that her head hurt.

Calculating the time, this year happened to be the time when Xu Zhiwen deceived Xu's father into investing in venture capital.

Could it be today?

Xu Zhaixing didn't even have time to change his shoes, so he rushed straight to Xu's father's study on the second floor. When he rushed to the door, he heard Xu Zhiwen say: "You can invest a small amount of money with me to test the water first. I have been following this project for a long time."

, working overtime day and night, a good opportunity to make money is of course to think about your own family first."

Xu's father held up the financial documents that he couldn't understand and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, let me first..."

"dad!"

Xu Zhaixing pushed open the door and entered.

Xu's father raised his head and looked over. He saw a middle-aged man who had not yet been tortured by illness. He looked energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. "School is over? Are you hungry? Your second uncle brought you chocolates from abroad. Let's go and eat a few pieces first."

Pad your belly. Where is Sister Liu? Let her cook soon."

Seeing such a father again, Xu Zhaixing almost burst into tears, but because Xu Zhiwen was beside him, he held it back and said in a low voice: "I don't like chocolate."

Father Xu saw something was wrong with her, put down the documents and came over: "What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"

Xu Zhaixing hadn't thought of how to stop his father from investing yet, so he took the opportunity to say, "I don't know, but I feel dizzy and feel sick in my stomach."

Xu's father suddenly became nervous: "Did you eat something bad? Or did you catch a cold? You didn't listen to me to wear more clothes!" He quickly held her shoulders, "Go back to the room and lie down, Sister-in-law Liu, Sister-in-law Liu,

Bring up the thermometer!"

When I walked outside the door, I remembered that Xu Zhiwen was still there, so I turned around and said, "Second brother, please sit by yourself for a while. This girl Zhaixing is really annoying."

Xu Zhiwen intuitively felt that something was wrong with his little niece's attitude today, but he didn't think much about it. He nodded and said, "Do you want me to find a doctor? Today's children are just in poor physical condition and can't compare with us back then."

Xu's father waved his hand: "No, let her lie down for a while and take her temperature. If it's serious, she has to go to the hospital."

Xu Zhiwen said no more and went downstairs to sit in the living room.

Xu Zhaixing's room was still the same as she remembered.

As soon as she entered the room, she felt more and more. She couldn't bear it any longer. Tears fell from her eyes. Father Xu was pouring water for her. When he saw his precious daughter crying, he almost dropped the cup in a hurry: "What's wrong? I feel so sad."

Really? Come on, let’s go to the hospital now!”

Xu Zhaixing waited for him to approach, then stretched out his arms to hug his father, burying it on the beer belly that she had once despised: "No, I just suddenly missed you and my mother so much."

"You kid..." Xu's father felt hot in his heart. He touched her head and sincerely promised: "Dad will work less overtime and come home more often in the future!"

Xu Zhaixing knew that he was busy with the company's declining business during this period. Any traditional industry would decline in the face of new trends. Xu's father was not a shrewd businessman and failed to seize the opportunity for reform and update. Now she is back

Yes, we must intervene.

Not only is it forbidden to let his father participate in venture capital, but he also wants to save Star Media, and even see if there is an opportunity for his father to invest in real estate. Now is the time when real estate is beginning to flourish, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But now she is only a high school student. The only important thing in the eyes of adults is study. It is simply a dream to get involved in her father's company and assets.

Xu Zhaixing suddenly felt that the road was blocked and long.

When Xu's father saw her expression, he immediately arranged for her to lie down and ran out to call Xu's mother: "Zhaixing is sick! Yes, I think it's quite serious. She was crying and frowning, and she said she missed her parents!

Are you under a lot of pressure since you entered high school? That’s right, come back quickly!”

Xu's mother is the editor-in-chief of a local daily in City S. Like Xu's father's company, the print media has suffered a greater impact. Daily sales have plummeted every year. Xu's mother has been reforming in various ways, but she still cannot keep up with the rapid development.

She had a fiery temper and rushed home within half an hour after hanging up the phone.

When Xu Zhaixing was in bed, he heard Xu's mother's voice downstairs: "Old Xu, have you taken any medicine for Zhaixing? Oh, second brother is here too. You sit down, I'll go upstairs to see Zhaixing first. I love this girl every day.

I told her to wear more clothes, but she didn’t listen! You see, you’ve made yourself sick, and you’re not the one suffering the pain from the injection!”

The sound came from far and near, and he quickly opened the door and came in.

Xu Zhaixing cried "Mom" with tears in his eyes.

Xu's mother looked at her accusingly, but her tone softened: "You didn't listen to mother, did you catch a cold? How else can you not feel uncomfortable, ah? You girl, you really don't worry about it all day long."

Hearing the familiar chanting again, Xu Zhaixing really wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms and cry for three days and three nights.

Fortunately, my mind has been trained to be tough over the years, and all my thoughts have turned into one sentence: "Mom, I will listen to you from now on!"

Xu's mother was shocked: "Oh, something is really wrong? Old Xu! Old Xu, come up quickly! I need to go to the hospital!"

Xu Zhaixing: "..."

In the end, Xu Zhaixing held the thermometer in his mouth and repeatedly assured that he was fine, drank two more packs of 999 cold granules, put on a thick coat, and then followed Xu's mother downstairs for dinner.

Xu Zhiwen hadn't left yet, sitting at the dinner table chatting with Xu's father.

Seeing Xu Zhaixing coming over, he asked with a smile: "Is Zhaixing feeling better? I think you kids are just too lazy and don't like sports. If you go out for a few runs every morning, you won't have any diseases."

Xu Zhai Xingpi glanced at him with a smile: "Second uncle said so, does it mean that cousin Chaoyang goes out for a run every morning?"

Xu Zhiwen choked on her.

Father Xu glared at her: "Why are you talking to your second uncle!"

Xu Zhiwen chuckled twice: "It's okay, it's okay, the child is still young, it's all like this. My kid is now in college, so he's not as worried."

The topic was covered up, Xu Zhaixing didn't even want to give him a look, and buried his head in eating.

Aunt Liu’s sweet and sour pork ribs are something I haven’t had in years. It’s so delicious.

Xu Zhiwen and Xu's father were chatting while eating, and they talked about investment again. Xu Zhiwen just started talking, Xu Zhaixing suddenly raised his head and said to Xu's mother: "Mom! How many times have I told you,

Chew your meals carefully and don’t drink anything too hot!”

Xu's mother had a quick temper and was anxious to eat. She would later develop esophageal cancer, which had a lot to do with her eating habits.

She picked up a small steak for Xu's mother and moved the bowl filled with hot soup in front of her. "Let it sit for a while before drinking. It's too hot and it's not good for the esophagus."

Everyone on the table was stunned. Mother Xu looked at the ribs in the bowl with a complicated expression.

My daughter actually picks up food for her? Does she still care about her body?

Xu Zhiwen has always been good at talking. Otherwise, how could he have deceived Xu's father? He immediately praised him: "I just said that reaching for stars is not sensible. Look at it, you know that you care about your mother's health. You have really grown up. Chaoyang should really talk to his sister."

study."

Xu's father waved his hands repeatedly with a humble look on his face: "She just pretends to be good outside, but this girl is very stubborn. Now that she has entered high school, we have a lot of things to worry about."

The two chatted for a while about their children's education.

While chatting, Xu Zhiwen brought the topic to investment again: "Lao San, Zhenlin's project..."

Xu Zhaixing: "By the way, Dad, the school is holding a parent-teacher meeting this Friday. Do you have time?"
