Chapter 145 This Sudden Support

After getting a definite answer from Wuxie's parents, Wu Erbai was completely relieved.

Wu Xie was called to the study and was distracted the whole time, his mind completely focused on his novel. He didn't come to his senses until he sat opposite Wu Erbai, facing him with a cup of tea in his hands.

"Second Uncle, you called me over here, is there something wrong?"

These days he has been following his second uncle's wishes, staying in his room and not caring about what's happening outside.

No matter what his third uncle plans, he can cause whatever trouble he wants.

Wuxie felt that since he started writing novels, he had to think about the plot all day long, and perhaps because he used his brain more, he felt that his IQ had vaguely increased.

By controlling the fate of so many people in his own book, his self-esteem has been elevated. He is confident that he is no longer the innocent boy who was fooled around by his uncle.

He is now Niu Kulu Wuxie, who has gotten rid of vulgar tastes and is pursuing high-end art.

Third uncle, what third uncle?

He likes to play, to make noise, and to disappear whenever he wants. I won't keep him company anymore!

Xiaohua was planning to find an opportunity to tie Jie Lian back and make him work for free. He believed that soon his third uncle would have no time to work on his unreliable plan.

As for those people who were monitoring the Nine Gates and that Wu Sanxing was targeting, Wu Xie didn't take them seriously.

Troublesome things should be left to smart people. Wuxie felt that he could not be of much help in such important matters, so he listened to Jie Yuchen, who had already made plans for these things.

Xie Yuchen is now collecting evidence and secretly trying to find a way to connect with the national government.

He planned to push the Wang family hiding behind the Nine Gates into the sight of the national government by using the names of a cult organization/illegal human experiment site/human trafficking group, etc.

Although this would expose these tomb robbers, the smart ones among the Nine Gates have almost been cleared of all charges. Those who have connections can use their connections to hand over what they should pay. Then a few more people will be sent in to act as scapegoats and be "forced" to work for the government for free.

As for the rest of the people, as long as they are not unlucky enough to be caught in the act, there will basically be no problem.

Although they will no longer be able to sneak into the tombs secretly in the future, the Nine Gates still have many industries in the open, especially the Wujia and Jie families, whose industries in the white world have developed well in recent years.

Even if all the underworld connections were cut, the Jiumen family would still be able to survive, it was just a matter of how much they would lose.

Wu Erbai didn't know yet that these juniors were about to cut off their source of trouble. He took a deep breath and then spoke to Wuxie with a gentle face.

"Xiao Xie, the last time we talked, didn't you say you had someone you liked?"

When Wuxie heard Wu Erbai bring up the past, he thought that Wu Erbai thought that he had given him this time to heal his emotional trauma, and now he wanted him to go on a blind date.

Alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart, a trace of sadness appeared on his face without any expression, and he pretended to speak weakly.

"Uncle, didn't I tell you that I've always liked Xiaohua? That was my childhood, my youth. How can I let go of you so easily after all these years of missing you?"

What Wuxie meant when he said this was: Xiaohua and I have a very strong emotional foundation, and it will take a very long time for me to forget him. Second uncle, you should take a break and stop recommending blind dates to me so early.

Originally, Wuxie thought that when Wu Erbai heard him say this, he would once again persuade him to let go of his feelings, and then they would push and shove each other, and he could fool people by pretending to be deeply in love.

Unexpectedly, Wu Erbai just sighed again and looked at him with gentle and loving eyes. Wuxie looked at him and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Before I called you over, I called your parents."

Wuxie was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously thought of words like fried bamboo shoots with pork and mixed doubles, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"I've told them about you, but don't worry. They're both very open-minded. They both think you should not care about what others think. If you want to pursue your true love, go ahead..."

After understanding this sentence over and over again, Wuxie widened his eyes in disbelief.

Why hadn't he noticed before that his parents were so open-minded?

Does that mean he doesn't need to be beaten... No! His parents now think he's gay, but he's not!

How would he explain it later? Would any girl still want to be with him? If he fell in love with someone else, would his parents misunderstand him and think he was trying to marry a gay woman and exploit her, and would they then beat him up?

Wuxie people are numb.

Is this the price of lying?

He now completely understood the saying that one lie of deception requires countless lies to cover it up.

This is like roasting him on the fire...

Wuxie forced an ugly smile on his face and spoke in a forced voice.

"Really? That's great..."

He quickly thought of a reason in his mind, then Wuxie lowered his eyes, not hiding the heavy expression on his face at all, and spoke in a depressed tone.

"But I can't just think about myself. I'm the only child of three generations of the Wujia family. If I really get together with Xiaohua, then our Wujia family will be extinct, right?

And as for grandma...I guess she doesn't know yet. She's already so old, how could I bear to let her worry about me, an unfilial son?"

Wu Erbai was pleased with Wuxie's understanding and filial piety. He stood up, walked around the desk, came to his side, reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, there are solutions to these problems.

Your parents are already planning to have a second child, and they'll probably have news this year. If all else fails, there's still... your third uncle and I."

If there was no news from Wu Yiqiong for a long time, Wu Erbai felt that he could make a sacrifice, not to mention that he still had the third brother.

Wuxie simply ignored his last words, the only thing on his mind was that his parents were going to open a second account.

Although when he was young, he always hoped that as an only child, he could have a soft and cute younger brother or sister.

But now he is 26 years old and is about to turn 30. He feels so awkward when a younger brother or sister suddenly comes along because of the big age difference.

It's not that embarrassing, just that I'm very at a loss.

With such an age difference, he can raise his younger brother as his own son. How will the two brothers get along in the future?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. When Wuxie’s first reason failed, he thought of another one.

"But falling in love is a matter between two people. Even if you support me, it's still unclear whether Xiaohua likes me or not.

What's more, Xiaohua is the head of the Xie family. He must prioritize the family's interests and continue the Xie family line."

Being so considerate and so caring for others, Wu Erbai suddenly felt that Wu Xie was not without emotional intelligence, but was just too straightforward and did things without thinking.

"Even if he doesn't like you now, won't you chase him?

There's 10 million in this card, take it and use it first. Don't say that your uncle doesn't care about you in the future. This is all the money I saved for you to date, but you didn't know it because you refused to date before.

If it's not enough, I have more. Xiaohua is a very discerning girl, so don't be too stingy with your gift."

Wu Erbai took out a bank card from her bag and gave it to Wuxie, who took it with a confused look on his face.

"As for the last two points, you don't have to worry. You were still young back then, and there are some things you don't know.

Although Xiaohua is the head of the Jie family, he is not from the branch of Jie Jiu, the main branch.

Xie Jiu had only one son, Xie Lianhuan who disappeared that year. Xie Lianhuan had no children yet. Xie Yuchen was the only child born to the second wife's side branch, but he was adopted by Xie Lianhuan when he was four years old.

So if you two are together, you don't need to worry about not having a child to inherit the family business. He can completely follow his adoptive father's example and adopt a good child from a side branch, raise him as his own, and train him to be the next head of the family."

Wu Erbai was silent for a while, then spoke with a strange tone.

"As for family interests...

Xiaohua is the head of the family after all, and you... are spoiled too much by our family.

In the end, you will definitely marry him, and your second uncle will definitely prepare a lot of dowry for you, and he will also have to give you some of the family property as a dowry.

If the Xie family kid just nods, he'll make a killing."
