Xu Xinlan is the adopted daughter of Xu Jingxi's grandfather, so her seniority is higher than Xu Jingxi. So, after seeing her, Xu Jingxi shouted: "Aunt Lan."

Although he is of an aunt, this aunt looks a bit young.

Su Rui looked at Xu Xinlan carefully. Since she was the woman Xu Jingxi trusted the most in the entire Xu family, she must have extraordinary excellence.

"Jingxi, you have been suffering outside in the past two years." Xu Xinlan held Xu Jingxi's hand, and her eyes became even redder.

Su Rui believes that this is a manifestation of real emotions.

"Aunt Lan, am I back now?" Xu Jingxi's eyes also turned red.

"I'm back, but I guess you'll have to go back to the capital in a few days." Xu Xinlan took out a tissue and gently wiped her tears.

"And..." After pausing for a moment, Xu Xinlan said again, "I don't know when Brother Xingmin will come back."

As he said this, Xu Xinlan's tears suddenly burst out.

Su Rui sighed secretly when he saw it.

The Xu family, a century-old family that has been imperial chefs for three generations since the Qing Dynasty, is now in this generation, and is about to be completely divided.

Brothers are united and their strength is to cut off gold. This sentence is definitely not a false statement. In history, the collapse of many large families was caused by brothers' conflicts.

The Xu family, which has the highest status in the Chinese chef world, is really sad and emotional now that they have come to this day.

"This is..." Xu Xinlan couldn't help asking when she saw Su Rui pulling her suitcase.

In fact, she already knew it in her heart.

Even if it is not Xu Jingxi, even if she is an ordinary girl, she chooses to take a man home, and the identity of this man is about to emerge.

Su Rui smiled, and did not answer positively, but said, "Aunt Lan, hello, my name is Su Rui."

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Jingxi.

The latter coughed gently, and a hint of blush appeared on his pretty face: "Aunt Lan, this is...my boyfriend."

The relationship between the boyfriend and girlfriend was agreed upon in advance by the two of them. In fact, if they did not say this, it would be difficult for Su Rui to enter the Xu family's door "justified".

"What a great talent." Xu Xinlan nodded, and seemed to have no doubts about the relationship between Su Rui and Xu Jingxi, and then said, "Let's eat something outside first, and then go home."

"Yeah, OK."

Xu Jingxi nodded and responded, then signaled Su Rui. The latter clearly saw that the blush on Xu Jingxi's pretty face had not yet faded.

Xu Xinlan drove a white Audi Q7. Su Rui sat alone in the back row and looked around. He found that this was a top-end model, which could be considered a million-dollar luxury car.

It seems that although Xu Xinlan is an adopted daughter who has not completed the "home entry procedures", her status in the family is not low.

But thinking about it, it is true that the Xu family has to save for a century-old foundation. As long as you work diligently and don’t be too lazy, it will be enough for several generations to spend.

Before the founding of the country, Xu Yuanhua led his whole family to move back from Europe. This sincere heart moved everyone. Moreover, Xu Yuanhua has become a master of state banquets and a master of the chef industry. If the Xu family can be steady, then this glory will be maintained forever and no one can change it.

However, after Xu Xingmin, the flagship character of the Xu family, disappeared, even outsiders could see the uneasiness within the Xu family. If this continues, the century-old family will only be left with an empty shell.

Su Rui sat alone in the back row, listening to Xu Xinlan chatting with Xu Jingxi in the front row.

"You have not been at home for the past two years and have no idea about many things. Now, it is basically your second uncle who is mainly responsible for everything at home."

Xu Jingxi held her hair around her ears, and a slight gloomy look appeared in her eyes: "It was the same before, and there was no big change."

In the past, the eldest brother Xu Xingmin was obsessed with the kitchen and ignored everything else. In addition to accepting many disciples, some family industries were managed by the second brother Xu Xinglong.

Of course, the latter also has talent in this area.

However, if you do more management, your cooking skills will become unfamiliar. Moreover, Xu Xinglong found that no matter how much hard work he put in, others will instinctively think of Xu Xingmin when they mention the Xu family.

After all, in this generation, although everyone's cooking skills are considered master-level, only Xu Xingmin is recognized as the top figure. The Xu family has established itself with cooking skills, and Xu Xingmin naturally became the banner of this family.

Disciples all over the world.

This is a natural thing.

However, Xu Xinglong's heart was a little unbalanced.

After all, in his opinion, the Xu family's current development and so many industries are the result of his all-round layout.

He should be the one with the most reputation.

However, although Xu Xinglong did not openly express this idea, everyone could see his attitude from many details.

Although there are many small frictions between Xu Xinglong and his elder brother on weekdays, Xu Xingmin, who has always put all his thoughts in the kitchen, did not take it seriously.

However, the most intense conflict between the two brothers finally broke out.

Because after Xu Xinglong expanded his family industry, he began to have capital to take advantage of the Xu family's unlimited prospects. Xu Xinglong was naturally very happy to enter it. He even thought about integrating all the industries under the Xu family into multinational groups. In that case, his wealth, reputation, influence, etc. would reach a new level.

However, the boss Xu Xingmin rarely strongly opposed this idea.

Because Xu Xinglong wanted to introduce the Xu family's capital from North America - pure foreign capital.

This is something Xu Xingmin doesn't want to see.

He himself had no intention of developing the Xu family into a so-called multinational group. After all, this was contrary to the Xu family's ancestral teachings.

In the eyes of the elders of the Xu family, they just need to be a chef with peace of mind. As long as they do their own business well, their reputation will naturally come. Too many industries to be involved in will mean too much distraction, which is completely contrary to their family's "craftsman spirit".

In Xu Xinglong's opinion, Xu Xingmin's idea is simply unreasonable, too outdated, too unable to keep up with the times, and is simply a fool.

In this era, who would take the initiative to get through money?

In fact, when Xu Xinglong angrily scolded his brother, he did not realize that it was the craftsmanship of generations after generation of "Xu Xingmin" that gave the Xu family its current reputation and status.

Although times have changed, the spirit of craftsmanship is always needed.

Xu Xinglong and Xu Xingmin have different positions, so they cannot say who is wrong or who is right.

In the view of the boss Xu Xingmin, it is not impossible to introduce capital, but it is better to have some domestic acquaintances. Although he stays in the kitchen all day, he also knows that many good local Chinese companies are constantly injected by foreign capital until they are completely annexed.

Xu Xinglong sneered at his elder brother Xu Xingmin's concern. In his opinion, such a person who sticks to tradition has no future at all and will bring the entire Xu family into a dead end.

However, Xu Xinglong was still a little too anxious. He wanted to prove himself too much and turn the Xu family industry into a monopoly tycoon in the chef industry. The capital from North America promised him a lot of support, but he had to sign a bet agreement with extremely harsh conditions.

The content of the betting agreement is very simple - if Xu Xinglong cannot meet the capital's requirements, then there is only one result he faces - he gave up the Xu family and got rid of it himself.

Xu Xingmin knew about this betting agreement, so he fought desperately. The two sides fought fiercely and had a long stalemate, but they did not get a suitable result.

However, since Xu Xingmin is the banner figure of the entire Xu family, it is basically difficult to do what he firmly opposes.

Moreover, foreign capital is also interested in Xu Xingmin's golden sign. After all, the Xu family is now the most qualified person to inherit the plaque of the chef. If he does not agree, then the competition for the chef will lose at least half of its value.

So, this matter was put on hold indefinitely.

Xu Xingmin doesn't take it too seriously about making money, but Xu Xinglong is different. If this matter is not completed for a day, he will not be able to sleep well for a day.

Until later, Xu Xingmin disappeared inexplicably while on a business trip to attend an exchange meeting.

Two chef ace plaques have been hanging in the main hall of the Xu family's old house. After Xu Xingmin disappeared, the two plaques still looked priceless, but everyone felt that there seemed to be a lack of an indescribable smell.

"Now the second uncle is stepping up the integration of family industrial resources, and the negotiations with foreign capital have never been terminated. I am afraid that after a year, he will introduce capital into the Xu family." Xu Xinlan said.

After hearing this, Xu Jingxi's eyes showed a slightly dim look: "If the Xu family loses the gambling agreement, can the Xu family still be called the Xu family?"

Su Rui sat in the back row and said, "Many century-old stores in China fell on this bet agreement and were finally completely controlled by foreign capital."

If Xu Xinglong insists on his own, he is very likely to embark on the old path of other century-old brands. When it comes to playing capital, how could he be the opponent of those professional foreign capital players?

"There is no way, I can't stop it. Now only the elder brother can come back to stop this." Xu Xinlan said, and sighed again, "But if the Xu family could no longer be called the Xu family."

Brothers are fighting, where is the home or home?

Xu Jingxi hesitated for a moment: "But, can my father still come back? In the past two years, even the police have no clue."

Speaking of this, an unspeakable sadness flashed in her big eyes.

Why did a living person suddenly disappear?

If it were in the war era, this could have happened, but now, the probability of it happening is too low!
