Chapter 181

Xiao Weiwei was slapped by the old lady and ran out, but she didn't get out of the courtyard before being stopped by Xiao Changqian.

Xiao Changqian persuaded her to come back, but she refused to follow, feeling that a large part of the responsibility for her falling into this state today lay with Old Mrs. Xiao. If it weren't for her, how could she be so miserable?

So, in a fit of anger, she wished she could run away from home and go as far as possible.

But her father's words made her dispel this thought.

Xiao Changqian said earnestly, "Weiwei, if you run away from home, where will you go? You don't even have a job, and there's no place to live outside. As a girl, you can't go out to rent a room and work at this time, right? Your grandmother did some things wrong, but besides relying on your grandmother, what other way do we have now? After all, she is the head of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Weiwei was silent for a moment, repeatedly pondering her father's words.

Leaving the Xiao family, she really had nowhere to go. She couldn't just wander the streets, right? After all, she was the second young lady of the Xiao family in the eyes of others. If she wandered the streets, wouldn't she be laughed at to death?

So she could only say aggrievedly, "Dad, Grandma is too domineering and dictatorial. Why don't we move out and live..."

Xiao Changqian sighed and said, "Move out? If we move out now, we'll have nothing. How many more years can your grandmother live? When she passes away, this villa and some other assets of the Xiao family will all be ours. This is our home. If we move out and your second uncle's family comes back, what will happen? Wouldn't we have nothing left?"

Xiao Weiwei suddenly realized.

Don't look at the fact that Xiao Churan's family has a bad relationship with the old lady now, but if their family moved out, they might take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiwei shed tears of grievance and said, "But it's not a solution to keep going like this. I can't stand her anymore."

Xiao Changqian could only comfort her, "Don't think so much for now. After all, there are guests at home, and we can't let the guests see a joke. When the guests leave, Dad will give you some money, and you can go travel and relax."

Xiao Weiwei nodded lightly and agreed, "Okay..."

When she returned to the villa with her father, Old Mrs. Xiao had just personally sent Xiao Yiqian to the guest room and walked downstairs alone.

Seeing Xiao Weiwei return, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a face full of apology, "Weiwei, it was Grandma's fault just now. Grandma was impulsive for a moment. I apologize to you, I hope you can forgive Grandma!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was still counting on Xiao Weiwei to handle Xiao Yiqian, so as soon as she saw Xiao Weiwei return, the first thing she did was take the initiative to apologize.

Xiao Weiwei didn't expect that Grandma would take the initiative to apologize. For a grandmother who had been tough all her life, this was really extremely rare, so she felt much more comfortable inside.

Old Mrs. Xiao took Xiao Weiwei's hand, sat on the sofa, and said earnestly, "Weiwei, our family is facing very great difficulties now, you know that, right?"

Xiao Weiwei nodded, "Grandma, I know."

"You have been broken off by the Wang family and have become a joke in Jin Ling. Although Grandma doesn't want to mention this, it is the truth. You should know that in your heart, right?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Weiwei couldn't help but cry again.

The whole of Jin Ling knew that she was a woman who had been broken off by the Wang family. So, if she still wanted to marry into a wealthy family in her life, it was basically impossible.

At least, it was impossible in Jin Ling.

So, her own future immediately became extremely bleak.

Old Mrs. Xiao wiped away her tears and said earnestly, "Weiwei, you used to be a little princess in our family. I spoiled you, your parents spoiled you, and your brother spoiled you, so you didn't study hard before, and you didn't want to work after graduation. That was no problem. But now our family is not what it used to be. You must change. You must mature as soon as possible and share some of the responsibility for this family. Otherwise, we can only become more and more miserable."

Xiao Weiwei nodded repeatedly and said guiltily, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I was too playful before and didn't learn any skills, so I couldn't help the family share the worries..."

Old Mrs. Xiao held her hand tightly and said earnestly, "Weiwei, the past is in the past. You are Grandma's precious second granddaughter. How could Grandma blame you or complain about you?"

As she spoke, the old lady said earnestly, "Now, there is an excellent opportunity that can achieve multiple goals at once. Not only can it solve the family's crisis, but it can also let you find a chance to climb back up, and even let you become a person above others. Do you want to seize it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Weiwei nodded continuously and said excitedly, "Grandma, I want to!"

Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong also hurriedly gathered around when they heard this.

Among them, Xiao Changqian asked with excitement he couldn't hide, "Mom, what's the good way?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said earnestly, "It's Chairman Xiao, Xiao Yiqian, who is staying in the guest room upstairs!"

"Him?" Xiao Changqian asked hurriedly, "Did he agree to help us?"

"No." Old Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "He has no relationship with us, to put it bluntly. He only came for his father's last wish and has no obligation to help us."

Xiao Changqian didn't quite understand and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "My meaning is to let Weiwei seize this opportunity with Xiao Yiqian! I can see that he has an interest in Weiwei!"

Xiao Changqian was shocked and blurted out, "Mom, you aren't asking Weiwei to accompany that Xiao Yiqian, are you? He is even older than me!"

"So what?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked back, "Is there a problem with being older? Wang Yunfei wasn't old. Weiwei was with him for so long and even had an abortion for him. What was the result? Besides hurting Weiwei, what did he give her?"

Xiao Changqian said anxiously, "That was normal love between a man and a woman, but Xiao Yiqian is already an old man!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said seriously, "So what if he's an old man? An old man with money and power, connections and resources. If you are with him, won't you have everything you want?"

Xiao Changqian waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no! I can accept Weiwei's affair with Wang Yunfei, but if she is with Xiao Yiqian, how can I, as a father, accept it?"

"Can't accept it?" Old Mrs. Xiao snorted and asked back, "Then can you accept being poor? If the Xiao Group goes bankrupt, what inheritance can you inherit from me? This old villa? Don't forget, the Xiao Group still owes bank loans. When it goes bankrupt and liquidates, the court will take back this villa! I don't care, I don't have many years to live anyway. What about you? What will you do then? Go live in a dilapidated tenement building like Xiao Changkun?!"

Xiao Changqian was suddenly speechless...

He didn't want to sell out his daughter, but he didn't want to be poor either...

Just when he didn't know what to do, Xiao Weiwei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Grandma, if he can help the Xiao Group, then I am willing to accompany him! But I have one condition!"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked excitedly, "What condition?!"

Xiao Weiwei gritted her teeth and said, "I want to be the director of the Xiao Group! The position Xiao Churan had before!"
