Bian Wei thought Xiao Anhe would refuse to drink it, but to his surprise, Xiao Anhe picked up the teacup and drank it even faster than him. When Xiao Anhe put down the teacup, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Anhe, it seems you've been living frugally lately."
Xiao Anhe put down his teacup. "Although it can't compare to the Xiao family's various customs and traditions, this kind of happiness is also incomparable."
Many people say that money is the best thing in the world. But in reality, when you get to the end, you'll find that money can't buy what you truly love, and it can't buy many other things. In fact, money might be the least valuable thing.
Bian Wei agreed with Xiao Anhe's statement. He had been following Xiao Hanqing, the late old master Xiao, since he was in his twenties. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years had passed, and he had witnessed many things that happened in the Xiao family.
Sometimes I really feel that someone like Xiao Anhe would be better off being born into an ordinary family.
However, where a person is born is predetermined and cannot be changed. To live well, one must adjust oneself to adapt.
Given that Xu Moran ran very fast, Bian Wei also spoke very quickly. Besides saying that he had been forced to leave the Xiao family, he said more about how Old Master Xiao had made a will before his death and put it in his private safe deposit box at the bank. No one knew the key and password of the safe deposit box, so two months had passed and the will was still lying dormant in the safe deposit box.
For Bian Wei, it was a will that allowed Xiao Anhe to rightfully inherit all of Xiao's property rights. But for Qian Yue'e and her son, it was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall and take them away at any moment.
Bian Wei asked Xiao Anhe, "Anhe, did Grandpa Xiao give you the password and key?"
This was Bian Wei's last hope. He hoped that Xiao Anhe had the password and key so that he could successfully obtain Old Master Xiao's will and rightfully inherit the power of the Xiao family.
Xiao Anhe shook his head. "I don't know. My father has never mentioned it to me."
Bian Wei's face was filled with disappointment. "How could this be? The old man clearly valued you the most. You were clearly his legitimate son. Why..."
Xiao Anhe interrupted him, "Uncle Bian, there are too many reasons in this world. It's impossible for everything to have a cause and effect. Since Father locked the will in a safe without leaving a password or key, there must be a reason. We shouldn't think too much about it. For me, whether I can take control of the Xiao family is not that important."
Bian Wei still held onto his old ideas, believing that after Old Master Xiao passed away, the Xiao family should be passed on to Xiao Anhe, since his mother was Old Master Xiao's lawfully wedded wife, and the so-called eldest son was the first son born to the legal wife.
As for Xiao Yang, no matter how much Qian Yue'e was officially recognized as a wife, in his eyes she was still an illegitimate child and had no right to inherit even a fraction of the Xiao family's wealth.
Sensing the nonchalance in Xiao Anhe's tone, Bian Wei suddenly became anxious, "Anhe, no, the Xiao family business can only be inherited by you!"
Xiao Anhe smiled and said, "Uncle Bian, I have a feeling that I can't say it now. When the truth is revealed one day, you will understand what I meant earlier."
Bian Wei's lips twitched, as if he was about to say something, but Xiao Anhe had already stood up and said to the direction behind him, "Ranran, you're finally back."
Xu Moran strode over to the table where Xiao Anhe and Bian Wei were sitting. Her chest heaving up and down revealed that she had been running the whole way.
She handed the envelope to Bian Wei, saying, "Uncle, this is the compensation money for you."
Bian Wei glanced at the envelope, then looked up at Xu Moran's face. "Young lady, your boyfriend is really amazing. In the short time you went to get the money, he reasoned with me and made me realize my mistake. I was wrong, I was really wrong. As a person with all four limbs intact, I shouldn't be making a living by faking accidents. Young lady, you've found a really good boyfriend. You're so lucky."
He pushed the envelope that Xu Moran handed him back, said nothing more, and walked out of the bookstore.
Xu Moran frowned, finding Bian Wei's unusual behavior hard to understand. He had finally succeeded in staging the accident, and the money was already in front of him, but he actually didn't want it. What was he up to?
Xiao Anhe stood up and walked to Xu Moran. Seeing her staring blankly in the direction Bian Wei had walked, he waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "Ranran, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Moran snapped out of her daze, turned her face, stared directly into Xiao Anhe's eyes, and asked him, "Xu Ye, who exactly are you?"
Since taking Xu Ye back, so many things have happened one after another. Do you really think she's a three-year-old child who's easy to fool?
"Ranran." Xu Ye pouted, letting Xu Moran scrutinize her. "I am who I am. Don't you recognize me?"
Xu Moran was silent for a moment, then said, "I know you are you. I'm asking if you've remembered who you are?"
Xu Ye answered with utmost seriousness, "I've always remembered that I'm your boyfriend."
Xu Moran, "..."
She finally understood what it meant to be completely unrelated.
