Chapter 268 The Si Family Arrives in Beijing

Xu Hexiao went abroad in May, taking a cruise ship with him and a batch of wine. The owner of the cruise ship was a business friend of Xu Zhaoyuan, who accepted the several hundred kilograms of wine sent by Xu Hexiao and gave him a 9.5% discount.

"I didn't expect that Old Xu had such an outstanding son like you. Tsk tsk, a good father will have a good son. You are better than Old Xu. Old Xu didn't dare to venture to Europe and America back then." The owner of the cruise ship is surnamed Cao. He is in his fifties and is a mixed-race person with half Chinese ancestry.

Xu Hexiao: "Uncle Cao has known my father for many years?"

"It's been about seventeen or eighteen years, I know almost everything about your father." Boss Cao looked like he was saying, 'If you want to know something, just ask me.'

"My father had an engagement in Hong Kong City, and he said he was divorced. Is that true?"

"Divorced. That family was too ruthless. Not only did they not give your father a child with the surname Xu, they also did not allow your father to have children with other women. Your father was also ruthless. When they divorced, he did not give any of his own property to the other party. He sold the company quietly and ran away to the mainland." Boss Cao sighed, "It turns out that he had such an outstanding son like you in the mainland. No wonder he ran away so quickly. He sold the family business he had built without any regrets."

Xu Hexiao lowered his eyebrows, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

Boss Cao was a talkative man, and as the boat was boring, he told Xu Zhaoyuan all about his experiences in the port city for more than 20 years like pouring beans.

Xu Hexiao felt mixed emotions after hearing this. As for what his father did, he could only say that everyone has their own choices, and the result has already been made, so it is meaningless to pursue the past.

But his mood was out of his control and his chest felt a little stuffy.

"Uncle Cao, I'm going to take a walk on the deck."

"Go, go, be careful not to get washed into the sea by the waves, or I won't be able to find such an excellent son to compensate your father."

Life on the cruise ship was very boring. There were countless beauties around Boss Cao, almost one changing every day. He offered to give a few to Xu Hexiao, but Xu Hexiao refused.

"You are very different from your father. Your father is not as loyal as you. Your father is philandering and heartless. He has several mistresses, but he breaks up with them immediately. No matter how much those women cry, he is determined to send them away."

"I love my wife. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. No one else can compare to her even by a hair."

"I don't agree with you. The beauty of each woman is different, and no one is the most beautiful." Boss Cao said seriously.

"In my heart, my wife is the most beautiful. I'm going to paint on the deck, Uncle Cao, you are welcome to do whatever you want."

Xu Hexiao's title as the honorary president of the calligraphy and painting association was not in vain. In addition to supporting the association with some money to organize activities, he also made friends with many calligraphy and painting masters. He communicated with them on a daily basis, learned from each other, and made great progress. His calligraphy and paintings are now well-known in the calligraphy and painting circles in the capital.

During the time on the cruise ship, Xu Hexiao, apart from asking Boss Cao about the markets in Europe and the United States, spent the rest of his time painting. He painted the sea, the sky, the cruise ship...The painting he spent the longest time and worked most seriously on was a portrait of Lin Qi.

"Wow, this can't be your wife, she's so beautiful that it doesn't look like a real person." Boss Cao had an exaggerated expression.

Xu Hexiao hummed, "This is my first time painting her. My skills are not good enough. I can't paint one tenth of her charm."

He has been honing his painting skills so that he can paint a unique picture for Qiqi one day. But he can't wait until the day when he becomes a great painter. He misses her so much that he can't help but want to paint her now.

Xu Hexiao looked at the painting and thought, it was true, he still couldn't capture her charm.

Boss Cao didn't think so. "This is beautiful enough, He Xiao, you are too modest."

After Xu Hexiao went abroad, Lin Qi temporarily took over the winery and often had to travel back and forth between the two cities. Sometimes when the three children were on vacation, she would take the three children with her to pick grapes.

The three younger ones didn’t know where their older sister and brother had gone, they only knew it was a secret mission.

After Xu Hexiao went abroad, Zhao Shu hired two more people to take over his job. After that, he had more time to stay at home to help Lin Qi.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed, and Lin Qi still had no news about Xu Boxi's four children. She only received a letter from Xu Hexiao.

However, the brewed wine was continuously shipped overseas on Cao’s cruise ships.

Xu Zhaoyuan would come to see the three children every weekend. After Lao Yi and the other two learned that Xu Hexiao was going abroad, they often came over on weekends. Sometimes the five old men would get together and it would be quite lively.

Three months after Xu Hexiao left, the three children followed their older brothers and sisters and went to college. The busy schoolwork made them go home less often, sometimes not even once a month.

Lin Qi looked at the empty house and sometimes couldn't help but wonder if she really gave birth to seven children.

On this day, Xu Zhaoyuan suddenly said to Lin Qi, "Do you want to go abroad to have a look? Lao Cao said that Ah He has established a firm foothold there, bought a winery, and established a company. His company now sells a kind of wine called Linqi?"

Named after her?

This was something Lin Qi had not expected.

"The wine was sold out as soon as it arrived there. Many people wanted to buy it but couldn't. It was very popular." Xu Zhaoyuan said with a smile. He never worried about the sales of the wine. He was worried about whether his son could come back alive. I heard that he was shot a few months ago, and I don't know how he is recovering now.

My son said that his daughter-in-law is more capable. If his daughter-in-law goes there, she should be a great help, right?

Lin Qi hesitated, "I'm going too? But there are still Lao Qi and his men in the capital..."

"They are safe in the capital." Xu Zhaoyuan interrupted Lin Qi, "I'll help you look after the winery. I can also help you replenish the goods that your supermarket is short of."

Her worries were solved, and maybe she could really go abroad to see the world.

"Okay, I'll go."

"I'll have someone help you get a visa and passport."

Lin Qi drove to the vineyard to transfer a wave of supernatural powers to the grapes, and informed Luo Antu, Luo Wei and others that she would be going abroad for a while.

He returned home the same day and gave birth to a large number of food crops, fruits, vegetables and other things.

"After all these things at home are sold out, if I haven't come back yet, I will temporarily close the store and give the employees a holiday." Lin Qi said.

Zhao Shu nodded, "Okay. I will take good care of the house, don't worry."

"The kids are all in the lab, so I won't bother them. Please tell them when they come back. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back in ten days or half a month."

"What should I say if someone finds my house?"

"Just tell it like it is."

Just as Lin Qi got on the plane, a mother and daughter came out of the airport with their two children.

"Mom, is Dad really in this city?" Sina looked up with contempt on her face.

"I heard from the Cao family that your father is right here." Si He's eyes were gloomy. "Xu Zhaoyuan, you have been hiding for five or six years, and now I have found you!"

"But this place is so big, where is grandpa? How do we find him?" Si Yunan said with a frown.

"People from the Cao family said that your grandfather built several department stores here, so it shouldn't be hard to find." Si He gritted her teeth. She had so much money to build department stores, but she didn't give a penny to her daughter and grandchildren. Xu Zhaoyuan, you are really great!

"Mom, the Cao family said that Dad found his biological son. Is this true?" Sina looked at her mother. Didn't her mother say that Dad's son from his ex-wife died? Why did he show up again now? If she knew that Dad had other children, she would definitely not be so reckless. She would act like other girls and act like a spoiled child with Dad to please him.

It wouldn't be like now, where her father just left and gave nothing to her or her two children.

Although Grandpa's health has improved, his thoughts and vision are outdated. The company's performance is getting worse year by year, and it has been going downhill. It may go bankrupt one day. She is used to a good life, and she doesn't want to be poor!

Mentioning Xu Zhaoyuan and his first wife's son, Si He's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. "Even if he's not dead, so what? The mainland has been in turmoil for more than ten years. The Xu family must have been tortured very badly. Maybe their bodies have been disabled long ago. There will be no woman marrying such a man. Now your father's descendants are still only Nan'er and Rui'er. No one can take your father's property except you."

Xu Hexiao had never expected that Lin Qi would come to him suddenly, so when he saw her playing with a pistol in one hand and grabbing a bearded man's collar with the other hand, lifting him down from the driver's seat of the car, Xu Hexiao was stunned.

"He robbed me." Lin Qi said.

Xu Hexiao blinked, strode over, and hugged Lin Qi in his arms.

"There are outsiders here." Lin Qi reminded.

At this moment, the man who was helped out of the car by Lin Qi seized the opportunity and climbed back into the car.

The taxi started again and the man stepped on the accelerator.

"Is the luggage still in the car?" Xu He asked.

Lin Qi hummed, and the next second, Xu Hexiao took out his pistol and shot at the wheel twice.

When the people in the winery heard the gunshots, they came out with their weapons.

Seeing the taxi with a flat tire, the driver running wildly on the road, and the boss and the beautiful woman hugging each other on the roadside, they whistled.

"Boss, is this the boss lady?" asked a young Chinese man.

Xu Hexiao held Lin Qi's hand and introduced her to the employees who came over, "My wife, Lin Qi."

"The real person is indeed more beautiful than the painting." The young man sighed.

Others nodded, "It looks great!"

"What painting?" Lin Qi asked Xu Hexiao in a low voice.

"I drew this." Xu Hexiao replied, and said to the others, "You guys go and get busy."

"Boss, do you want to hold a welcoming banquet for the boss lady tonight?"

"You guys decide on the arrangements. Keep it simple, don't make it too grand."
