Chapter 262: Escape from the Mountains (43)
"Little grass, I'm old."
"Although everyone says I have a long and blessed life, I know I probably don't have many days left to live."
Chen Xianhua looked at the ancient banyan tree outside the window. It had been rooted here for a hundred years and had witnessed the rise and fall of the times.
My daughter was born here decades ago. Now, as he is about to become a fallen leaf, the ancient banyan tree is only a little thicker than before.
He turned around and looked at his granddaughter, who had grown into a tall tree. Her tall stature and strong shoulders were no longer the same as when she first arrived.
Chen Xianhua still remembers that when he first met her, she was as thin as a reed stick, with thin and pointed cheeks, and only a pair of bright eyes, like the eyes of a wolf cub.
Now that I think about it, being so defensive and neglectful towards her because of her looks was a kind of indebtedness.
"I used to put too much energy on Shanshan, and Xiaohua was taken care of by you, so no one ever asked if you were tired."
"Xiaocao, I have never said thank you to you. Thank you for bringing Shanshan out of that cannibalistic place."
"Shanshan is luckier to have a daughter like you than a father like me."
Chen Xianhua's voice was low and old, like the trace left by a falling star across the sky.
"I have seen your excellence over the years."
"After I die, my shares were originally supposed to be inherited by your mother, but you know her current situation, so I plan to divide the shares between you and your sister."
"I'm also going to give you this position. I believe in your vision and ability."
"But there are two conditions."
"Your uncle has been in that position for over ten years. He has contributed a lot to the group. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard."
"Since we're starting from different angles, it's inevitable that there will be arguments. Let's give in to him more in the future."
"There is still one."
Chen Xianhua turned his head to look at Xiaocao and said slowly: "I hope you can marry Li Yanshu."
The grass in front was still calm, but when she heard this, her brows slowly furrowed.
She didn't understand why Chen Xianhua was so obsessed with marrying into the Li family.
"I've watched Li Yanshu grow up since he was a child. He won't harm you."
Xiao Cao said, "With just a simple sentence, you've cut off his right to choose his own marriage?"
Chen Xianhua chuckled: "Can't you see that Yanshu likes you?"
Xiaocao: “?”
I really didn’t see it.
Li Yanshu's gentleness is towards everyone. He is a very good person, so Xiaocao didn't realize how special he is to her.
"It seems that you agree?" Chen Xianhua asked.
-
12 month 20 number.
Chen Xianhua’s 80th birthday banquet was scheduled to be held in a five-star hotel in the city. Due to his status in the business community of S City, countless celebrities in the industry were invited.
All the business partners who had cooperated with Yinghua Group came, as well as some political officials of all ranks.
Even some media workers at the scene marveled at the size and luxury of the banquet.
Chen Xianhua had not appeared in public for a long time. When everyone saw him appearing at the venue in a red Tang suit and sitting in a wheelchair, looking energetic, applause of welcome rang out.
"It's been a while since I last saw you all. I'm really grateful that you all took the time out of your busy schedules to host this birthday party for me."
When the people below heard it, they found that Mr. Chen's voice was still so loud, and it seemed that his health had been well recently.
"They say you don't buy new clothes when you're seventy, and you don't celebrate your eightieth birthday. Logically, I should have celebrated my birthday last year, but I don't care about that."
"My absence from public life isn't as mysterious as some say. I'm just spending time with my family."
Chen Xianhua took Xiaocao's hand and brought her to the public: "Let me introduce to you all, this is my eldest granddaughter, Li Youcao."
Xiaocao's appearance caused a bit more commotion at the scene.
"Boss Chen only has one daughter, right? Didn't his daughter disappear more than 20 years ago? How come a granddaughter suddenly appeared?"
"What's going on? Your granddaughter is already this big?"
"Isn't this the woman who became famous a while ago? The one who developed a very powerful security system?"
"Eldest granddaughter? Are there several more granddaughters?"
Chen Bingrui was standing diagonally behind Chen Xianhua. When he saw Chen Xianhua pushing Xiaocao in front of the crowd, he began to understand that Chen Xianhua was paving the way for Xiaocao.
I just don’t know how wide Chen Xianhua will make this road.
Not far away, Li Yanshu looked at Xiaocao in the center of the crowd. This was the first time he saw Xiaocao dressed like this.
She was wearing a dark red dress, a simple strapless fishtail style, with no patterns on the dress and no jewelry to embellish her body.
But she was tall, with long arms and legs, a firm and smooth back and shoulders, and a straight and graceful figure. The loose hair on her temples was sprayed with hairspray and neatly tied back in a low bun.
She must have had makeup on, but it was very light, even her lipstick was a light nude color, no different from her usual lip color.
Yu Xi was standing next to Li Yanshu, and she was also looking in the same direction.
"The grass has really grown a lot." Yu Xi sighed.
Li Yanshu stared at the grass quietly and seriously. As if noticing this burning gaze, the grass looked over here.
"Li Yanshu!"
Someone tapped his shoulder from behind.
Li Yanshu turned around and saw that it was Chen Jiahui.
"You are here." Chen Jiahui said, "Help me quickly, my necklace is tangled in my hair."
As Chen Jiahui spoke, she gently lifted one side of her hair to reveal the skin on her back.
Li Yanshu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at Xiaocao, but the other party had already turned around.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Chen Jiahui urged him.
Li Yanshu turned his head and said softly, "Sorry, I'm not very good at this. Wait a minute, I'll call someone for you." As he said that, he pulled Yu Xi over.
After Yu Xi helped Chen Jiahui untie herself, Chen Jiahui turned around and asked, "Li Yanshu, have you seen Wu Mengchuan?"
Wu Mengchuan?
"No."
Chen Jiahui curled her lips and muttered softly, "Didn't he say he would come today?"
Li Yanshu had no time to care about what she said and just turned his head in the other direction.
Xiaocao was accompanying Chen Xianhua to greet people from all walks of life.
Xiaohua also came, but she didn't stay with Chen Xianhua. Instead, she was with Chu Mingyu and ate pastries with five-year-old Chen Jiaye.
Chen Jiaye is not as chubby as he was when he was a child. He looks like Chen Binghua, and is very much liked by Chen Xianhe.
"Sister, you eat it." Chen Jiaye picked up a piece of peach cake and handed it to Xiaohua.
"Thank you." Xiaohua took it and took a bite.
Chen Jiahui came over and stood beside Xiaohua. "Why are you here? Why didn't Grandpa call you over to be with Xiaocao?"
