Chapter 470 The Masked Good Girl Mistakenly Flirts with the Playboy Man 34
Ji Yanru's back was like a flowing painting, with a graceful figure and an indescribable charm. However, Xie Yanci's eyes were not attracted by this beauty.
His eyes were deep and cold, like a deep lake, calm but surging. He followed her back closely, trying to see through her charming appearance and see her true intentions deep inside. His brows knitted slightly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart - what on earth was this woman planning?
The tranquility of the Xie family's old house is like a thin piece of paper, calm on the surface but actually undercurrents are surging.
Xie Huaili knelt on the cold floor, head lowered, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks. His white shirt was stained with blood from being whipped by a cane, and the bright red marks spread across the fabric, making it particularly glaring. There was a repressive atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing had become heavy.
"Do you know why I'm using family discipline on you this time?" Zhang Xiao's voice was as cold as ice, with unquestionable majesty. She held a cane in her hand, and her fingertips turned slightly white due to the force.
Xie Huaili gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "A son shouldn't act recklessly at grandfather's birthday party."
Zhang Xiao sneered, a trace of disappointment and anger flashed in her eyes. She slammed the cane on the table, making a harsh sound.
"What you said is just one of the reasons!" Her voice suddenly rose. "Why do you think your grandfather insisted on bringing your third uncle back from abroad? He wanted him to compete with your father! What does this mean? It means that your grandfather is dissatisfied with your father! At this critical moment, you still don't know how to restrain yourself! If your father knew about this, he would definitely not just beat you up!"
Xie Huaili's face turned pale in an instant, his fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. He never thought that his momentary indulgence would lead to such serious consequences.
Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in her heart, but the disappointment in her eyes became stronger. "You don't really think that I am willing to let you marry Lin Yi because the Xie family is so invincible that there is no need for marriage, right?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Xie Huaili raised his head, his eyes full of confusion: "Isn't it?"
Zhang Xiao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Do you really think that you have concealed all the bad things you did outside perfectly? When choosing a marriage partner, the real powerful families in Kyoto not only look at the family background, but also the investment value! In their eyes, you are no longer a worthy investment object! Lin Yi is just my last resort!"
Xie Huaili's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind was in a state of confusion. He had never thought that his position in the family was so precarious.
"Do you think your grandfather doesn't know?" Zhang Xiao's voice was low and powerful, as if every word hit Xie Huaili's heart heavily.
"Why did your grandfather let you manage an insignificant entertainment company? That's because in the old man's eyes, you are no longer a qualified heir! This is also the reason why your father has been constantly seizing power in recent years! We must ensure that you are the next heir of the Xie family!"
Xie Huaili's face turned from pale to red, and he was filled with shame and self-blame. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "So... am I already so unbearable in the eyes of my family?"
Zhang Xiao looked at her son's decadent appearance, and felt a little bit of pity in her heart, but she knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted. She had to make Xie Huaili wake up completely.
"Born in a family like this, you have to think twice before doing anything." Her tone softened slightly, but still stern.
"Your grandfather chose me as the eldest daughter-in-law because your father is good enough and has long been recognized as the heir. He doesn't need a strong marriage partner, he just needs a reliable support. Look at the wife your grandfather chose for your second uncle, and the wife he is looking for for your third uncle. They are both strong women! In comparison, your two uncles are not good enough in front of them! They all have family businesses to inherit. While deepening cooperation, you don't have to worry about them thinking about the Xie family!"
Xie Huaili's mind was in a mess. Every word of his mother was like a sharp knife, cutting through his self-righteous pride. He finally realized that he had long been marginalized by the family, and even his marriage had become a sacrifice for the family's interests.
"Grandpa also agreed to my marriage with Lin Yi. According to what you said, grandpa did not find a strong marriage partner for me. Doesn't that mean that he approves of me?" There was a hint of luck in Xie Huaili's voice, as if he had grasped the last straw.
Zhang Xiao looked at his son, his eyes full of helplessness and disappointment: "Idiot! Can the Lin family be compared with our Zhang family? The Lin family is a family that relies entirely on nepotism. The daughters they trained are obedient enough to be placed at home as vases. How can they support the responsibilities of the mistress of the Xie family!"
Xie Huaili was completely devastated by his mother's words, and his heart was in chaos.
"It's all because you're not motivated enough and can't control your lower body!" Zhang Xiao's voice was a little tired. "If I find you a strong woman, won't your family be in chaos every day? It's right to find a docile and obedient woman who can give birth to a great-grandson as soon as possible! Let your grandfather stop thinking about your cousin and your third uncle!"
Xie Huaili finally understood his parents' true intentions, and his heart was filled with bitterness. It turned out that it was not only his grandfather who gave up on him, but also his biological parents.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Xiao's voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency in his tone, "Your father's position will not be shaken, but your father is almost sixty years old, and it is unknown who will be the heir of your generation. From the fact that your grandfather has paid attention to your second uncle's cousin who is in high school, and brought your third uncle back from abroad, it means that the old man has been making preparations for both situations! You should get married as soon as possible, stop making big mistakes, and give birth to an excellent next generation. For the stability of the family, your grandfather will not exclude you from the heirs!"
Hearing his mother's good intentions, Xie Huaili felt a rare sense of guilt. He raised his head and said seriously, "Mother, I will follow your arrangement and get engaged to Lin Yi as soon as possible. During this period, I will definitely not cause any more trouble."
Zhang Xiao looked at her son, and finally a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. But she overestimated Xie Huaili's self-control. How could a man who had been reckless for nearly 30 years wake up so easily?
