"I don't think I've ever heard you talk about your family."
"You want to know?"
Lan Xiaolan remained silent, neither confirming nor denying. She was curious about Ren Tingxi. After all, they had known each other for so many years and had been together before.
But she and Ren Tingxi had broken up. When they were lovers, Ren Tingxi was not very willing to talk about family matters. Moreover, now that they had broken up, she had no right to ask about his family matters.
Seeing that Lan Xiaolan didn't answer, Ren Tingxi smiled evilly: "Lan Xiaolan, will you marry me?"
What? What was Ren Tingxi talking about? What kind of sudden question was this? Was he proposing?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Lanlan, I'm not confused. I know everything. Just say you're willing, and I'll take you to get the marriage certificate right now."
"I'm also willing to take you home to meet my parents and brother and sister-in-law."
Ren Tingxi paused and choked a little.
"But my house is full of wolves, tigers and leopards. Will the little hedgehog be afraid?"
"Who wants to marry you? You are such a fool!" Lan Xiaolan's fierce little face turned red with anger. She turned her head away and no longer looked at Ren Tingxi's face.
Lan Xiaolan did not ask about Ren Tingxi's family affairs, and Ren Tingxi did not intend to mention it again.
When they were together before, Ren Tingxi didn't like to mention his family.
In fact, Ren Tingxi does not have a bad relationship with his family. It should be said that he is not familiar with the people in his family, except for his eldest brother, Ren Tingyi.
When Ren Tingxi was a child, his parents were away from home for work all year round and seldom came home. Ren Tingxi could only see his parents a few times a year.
But his elder brother is different. Although he is a few years older than him, he is much more mature and stable than Ren Tingxi.
When his parents were not around, Ren Tingxi spent most of his time with his elder brother.
Ren Tingyi was physically weak, so he could not run freely in the sun and on the grass like other children since he was a child.
Due to physical reasons, he couldn't even go to school normally like other children.
However, Ren's family was very well-off, so they hired a private doctor and teacher for him. In addition to medical treatment, Ren Tingyi spent all his time reading and studying at home.
Although the eldest brother is sick and only a few years older than Ren Tingxi, he has taken good care of his younger brother since childhood.
As a baby, the first person Ren Tingxi learned to call was "Brother." Furthermore, the first word he wrote, the first ancient poem he read, and the first math problem he solved were all taught by his older brother.
He is his eldest brother, but more like a father to him.
But that year, when Ren Tingxi had just graduated from high school and Ren Tingyi had just obtained his master's degree in business administration, his eldest brother fell seriously ill.
The operation lasted a whole day and night. The Ren family invited all the heart experts from home and abroad. After day and night rescue efforts, Ren Tingyi finally saved his life.
After waking up, the eldest brother lay on the hospital bed and said to him, "You have grown up now. It's time for you to learn to share the housework with your parents. Big brother, there will definitely be a day when that happens."
"Brother, what are you talking about? I wish you good health and a long life! I don't understand family matters, I don't want to get involved, and I can't!"
It was also from that time that Ren Tingxi's parents forced him to choose "Business Administration" on his university application form.
"I don't want to!" Ren Tingxi refused. No matter how much his family argued or persuaded him, Ren Tingxi refused to agree.
"If your eldest brother leaves, someone will have to take over the family affairs."
"Big brother is blessed with fortunes as vast as the East Sea and a lifespan as long as the Southern Mountains. He still has a long life ahead of him. I am not Big Brother, I am me. I live my own life and make my own choices. And Big Brother is more suitable to be the head of the family than I am."
It seems that since he was old enough to understand, Ren Tingxi understood the principle that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain.
Moreover, Ren Tingxi believed that home was his eldest brother's concern, and he himself was also his eldest brother's concern. As long as the concern was there, his eldest brother would not give up his life easily.
Later, Ren Tingxi left. He chose to go to college in the same city as Lan Xiaolan, and also chose his favorite construction industry.
No matter how much his parents persuaded him, he refused to go home. He knew he couldn't go back.
Later, the eldest brother married his eldest sister-in-law, who was as intelligent and outstanding as his brother. She was willing to learn, and his brother was willing to teach her. Soon, she became the head of the company group and the actual person in charge of the company.
I don’t know when it started, but different voices were heard.
"Although Ms. Dai is the eldest wife, she has been married for many years and has no children. The eldest young master has always been in poor health. If the eldest young master passes away one day, the Ren family will still be handed over to the second young master."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Even though the Second Young Master hasn't come back, he's still been given the title of Vice President. It shows that the Chairman still thinks highly of him."
"But the eldest wife has done a lot for Ren's over the years. The management of the company is all under the eldest wife's control. It won't be easy for the second young master to come back."
"But I heard that the Second Young Master is out there now, doing a lot of amazing projects. He's a very famous engineer both at home and abroad. The Second Young Master is a capable man. If he comes back to take over the Ren Group, then the First Madam won't have any business."
"Don't say that. The first wife is a legitimate wife from a prominent family. If she had a child, that would be a different story."
"But the eldest young master is in poor health, so it's uncertain whether he can have a child. Besides, even if he does, the child won't grow up overnight. When the eldest wife loses the eldest young master as a support, the Ren family will still fall into the hands of the second young master, right?"
More and more similar words reached Ren Tingxi's ears, and of course, also reached Dai Yuecheng's ears.
Therefore, Dai Yuecheng became more and more wary of his uncle Ren Tingxi, and arranged his own people everywhere in the company and enterprises, and was on guard against Ren Tingxi everywhere.
Although no one in the family revealed these things, the facts are indeed like this.
However, Ren Tingxi understood from a young age that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain.
Ren Tingxi didn't care about these things. He had his own career and the life he wanted, so he didn't want to go back to that family, let alone argue with his brother and sister-in-law.
Of course, what Ren Tingxi least wants to see is Lan Xiaolan being involved in these meaningless disputes.
