Saving her is equivalent to saving myself. If I really asked for the money, it would be a heretic. For example, if you saved your parents, would you want the money they gave you?
The answer is obvious. I have long regarded Mengxin as my family.
I didn't feel guilty asking for money to look after Xiao Qilei's hotel, but I couldn't accept the reward for saving Xiao Mengxin.
Secondly, my intuition tells me that once I ask for the money, I will feel distant from Xiao Mengxin, and my relationship will change and become a transaction.
If the above reasons are a bit reluctant, the reason that makes me unable to accept the money the most is because I accidentally released the ghost old lady.
Indirectly, the ghost old lady almost killed Xiao Mengxin. This always makes me feel very guilty. If I take this money, am I still a human being?
"Young man, you are really good. You impressed me again. There are not many young people who can resist the temptation of money." Xiao Yuanzhou looked at me with eyes full of admiration, "However, one yard is one yard, and you have to pay for it." Accept it, if you are left empty-handed and this matter spreads, people from other families must not laugh at my Xiao family for not knowing etiquette? Our Xiao family will not owe such a big favor."
"No, Grandpa Xiao, I really can't ask for this money..." I once again found various excuses to shirk it, and finally the old man looked a little ugly when I saw it.
I quickly sought help from Xiao Mengxin. She had a close connection with me and understood what I meant.
Then she looked at Xiao Yuanzhou and Luo Yuhuan and said, "Grandpa, Mom, since Xiao An doesn't want the money, don't make things difficult for him. Besides, Xiao An is like one of my own family members in my heart, and money cannot measure it."
As she said that, Xiao Mengxin made a very bold move in front of everyone, put her arm around my shoulders and said tenderly: "Yes, Xiao An, am I right? We are our own family!"
The last three family members said something very serious and obviously meant something.
My heart skipped a beat, thinking, is Xiao Mengxin going to announce our relationship to their family?
"That's right." I smiled quickly and said, "My family, I have a good relationship with Mengxin, just like my family, asking for this money would be too much."
Behind the scenes, I was also getting closer to Xiao Mengxin. During this period, I quickly glanced at the Xiao family to see how they would react.
I found that Xiao Haotian still had the sullen expression on his face from beginning to end, as if someone owed him money. Even if I didn't want the ten million, he didn't react at all, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
When Xiao Yuanzhou heard this, he showed a meaningful look in his eyes and kept glancing at Xiao Mengxin and me, as if he was weighing something.
Xiao Qilei's expression and my eldest sister's expression seemed a little worried.
Only Luo Yuhuan's eyes flickered and his expression was stiff for a moment, and I happened to catch his micro-expression.
The eldest sister shook my hand nervously in the dark, as if to cheer me up, and the atmosphere became subtle.
"This...hehe..." Luo Yuhuan looked at Xiao Yuanzhou, then looked at me and smiled: "Hehe, since Xiao An really doesn't want the money, we won't embarrass you, but..."
She thought for a moment and then smiled: "But, after all, you are Mengxin's savior, and you have a very good relationship with Mengxin. How about this? Mengxin doesn't have a younger brother, and you are a few years younger than Mengxin. So, how about this?" How about just being Meng Xin's biological brother? From now on, he will be a member of our Xiao family."
As soon as she said these words, the atmosphere in the whole place suddenly became weird. The eldest sister secretly held my hand and trembled slightly.
"Xiao Mei." Luo Yuhuan looked at my eldest sister again and said, "Although you are Xiao An's biological sister, do you have any objection when I ask Meng Xin to be your brother's god sister?"
"I, no, have no objection." The eldest sister smiled stiffly.
"Dad, Qilei, what do you think of my opinion?" Luo Yuhuan looked at Xiao Yuanzhou and Xiao Qilei again and asked, ignoring Xiao Haotian.
"I, I don't have any objection, it's just..." Xiao Qilei looked at me and Xiao Mengxin who were about to say something.
"Haha." Xiao Yuanzhou laughed and said cheerfully: "Yuhuan's opinion is good and just in line with what I want. Chen Meimei is in love with Qilei. They will be a family after they get married. If Xiao An becomes Meng Xin's younger brother, then he will be his wife." Dear, Xiao An, from now on we will be our own family. You can definitely work in our company to train you in the future, or if you want to start a business in the future, our Xiao family will fully support you. The value far exceeds the concept of tens of millions. ,hehe..."
Xiao Yuanzhou and Luo Yuhuan looked at me and smiled kindly, as if this matter was so joyful.
However, my heart sank to the bottom and was very gloomy.
Although I'm not old, I'm not a fool either. Luo Yuhuan's words completely separated me from Xiao Mengxin.
Originally, when Aunt Guijuan and her son were stirring up trouble and exposing my relationship with Xiao Mengxin, through Luo Yuhuan's friendly attitude towards me, I mistakenly thought that she would not be too opposed to my relationship with Xiao Mengxin. I even thought of the good news, thinking that she might Maybe he will agree to our romance.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yuhuan actually asked Mengxin to recognize me as his younger brother. Doesn't this mean he is against our relationship?
The implication is that I am too young to even think about being my daughter, but I can be a younger brother.
I also didn't expect that Luo Yuhuan would be the first person to oppose us, and her attitude has always been friendly to me, which made it impossible for me to figure out her. She is too scheming. If Xiao Haotian is a sharp sword out of the body, Luo Yuhuan is simply A knife that kills without showing blood.
"Xiao An." Seeing me in a daze, Luo Yuhuan asked again: "What do you think of my proposal? Are you willing to be Meng Xin's younger brother? From now on, we will be our own family."
"I..." I really couldn't answer this. If I agreed, it would be like falling into her trap, but if I refused...
Just when I was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off.
"Mom!" Xiao Mengxin suddenly said with an ugly face: "What are you proposing? I don't want Xiao An to be my younger brother. Also, I will make it clear in front of everyone today."
Xiao Mengxin stood up excitedly, looked at me firmly and said: "Mom, Grandpa, let me tell you the truth, I like Xiao An, I want Xiao An to be my man, not my brother, I want to be with him for the rest of my life, with him When we get married, we want to be husband and wife.”
Xiao Mengxin's sudden words made my heart beat wildly. Not only was she completely announcing our relationship, it was also equivalent to a head-on declaration of war with Luo Yuhuan.
Although Xiao Mengxin has a domineering personality, I am worried about whether she can withstand her mother's opposition.
I quickly glanced at the Xiao family and found that Xiao Yuanzhou was calm and composed, as if he had known that Xiao Mengxin would say this. His expression was expressionless and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Xiao Haotian, who made me very worried, didn't say anything and ate his meal in silence. Xiao Qilei's expression changed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
My eldest sister’s palms were sweaty.
Luo Yuhuan's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were sharper, and he said in a slightly cold tone: "Mengxin, you are really nonsense, what are you talking about? How old is Xiao An? He is only eighteen years old, compared to you He's four years younger. It's okay to be your brother, but how can I be your..."
"I don't care!" Xiao Mengxin had a very tough attitude and held my hand, "Mom, to tell you the truth, I was already Xiao An's woman three years ago. I will not marry anyone other than Xiao An in this life. No one can stop me. !”
I was very moved by Xiao Mengxin's tough attitude and determination to stay with me.
Then, Luo Yuhuan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed and she scolded: "Daughter, what did you say? Three years ago, you were already asleep... You actually... you..."
Luo Yuhuan took a deep breath, as if suppressing her anger, and said with a strong attitude: "Daughter, this matter cannot be decided by your temper. I firmly oppose your being together. This is not because I look down on Xiao An or anything, but because he is too young. Now, if word spreads that you are with Xiao An, our Xiao family will become the laughing stock of Hualian City. What will the other families think? We are not allowed to gossip. "
Although she didn't say it too directly, it still didn't sound good.
Luo Yuhuan's so-called gossip must be because he was worried about people from other families, joking that Xiao Mengxin found a pretty boy with no power and power, and he was from the countryside.
