My Age of Investment
Chapter 870: Hidden merit and fame
Chapter 870 Deeply hiding merit and fame
"what happened?"
Xia Jingxing pretended to be calm, but his eyes kept patrolling on the faces of his parents.
Father did not say a word, and he drank by himself. Obviously, he got the password. Xia Jingxing knew that the father with the lowest family status could not be counted on.
Looking at her mother again, she still looked upset and ignored herself at all.
Xia Jingxing said in her heart, knowing that this time she couldn’t hide it, so she decided to confess and be lenient: “Actually, Christina’s over there...”
Just when Xia Jingxing was about to confess everything, Zhang Yuqiong answered, "You broke up? Right?"
Looking at her mother's "I know everything" expression, Xia Jingxing's face was filled with confusion, what is this?
And Zhang Yuqiong saw his son's surprised face, which made his guess more sure.
"I know, you two must have a relationship problem. How long has this been since? Christina has never been to our house again.
She called me fewer and fewer times, and she still didn’t want to video chat with me. "
Zhang Yuqiong sighed, "What is the conflict between you guys?
It stands to reason that when you grow up, I shouldn’t take care of you so much.
But I still have to say, Christina is a good boy, don't let them down.
Don’t let me know that you did what I’m sorry for him. "
Xia Jingxing's heart turned a thousand times, just when he thought he couldn't keep it, or after the foreign girl had confessed everything, his mother gave him this story.
Because of the jet lag, the foreign girl who is a pregnant woman must of course reduce the frequency of telephone contact. It is impossible to call her mother-in-law in China in the middle of the night as before.
Reluctant to video chat, naturally I am afraid of being seen out of the way.
To talk about this, Xia Jingxing himself must be blamed mainly for not being cautious enough to explain this to the foreign girl.
In addition, he and Yang Niu also had an agreement in advance, neither parents told them, so as not to cause trouble, after the child is born, they will come to the showdown.
Now her mother wants to be crooked, and Xia Jingxing doesn’t know whether to have a showdown.
Sell it, do you want to do it with Yang Niu’s parents?
Don't share it, parents will know in the future, and they will inevitably complain and blame.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Jingxing made a decision and continued to hide it!
"No one is sorry, so we quarreled a few times. Mainly, we separated the two places for a long time, and we often didn't see each other for several months."
Xia Jingxing’s face was full of helplessness, “This is no way. I can’t tell her to give up her career. Feminism is more popular in the United States. She is a big woman who wants to be an independent woman and does not depend on men.”
Zhang Yuqiong frowned: "That's it... Then there shouldn't be a fight!"
"Mom, I will take care of it, don't worry." Xia Jingxing said with a smile.
Zhang Yuqiong was about to continue to ask, but Xia Yuan grabbed her shoulders and twisted her body.
"eat first!"
Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh a little. Is this a win for his father?
Zhang Yuqiong looked at the instigator who interrupted her with a displeased face, and how did she feel that she was retaliating against herself? Everything is the same.
Xia Yuan couldn't resist the look in the eyes that looked like a knife, and quickly explained: "My son just came back. It's the New Year again. Let's not talk about the unhappy ones."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuqiong gave up. The family of three began to eat honestly and only talked about some relaxed topics.
"Do you still remember Xiao Zheng, the son of Uncle Zheng in the Finance Bureau? You played together when you were young, and you also beat out people’s nosebleeds. Xiao Zheng was married and the child was born last month. He is a fat boy of eight catties. It's meaty, it looks so likable..."
"Aunt Wang’s daughter Qianqian in the Organization Department, you played with the family when you were young, and she played the role of mother every time. She is really a mother now..."
……
Xia Jingxing did not interrupt, listening to her mother's nagging with a smile.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhang Yuqiong went to wash the dishes, and Xia Jingxing and his father went to the sofa to sit down.
"Don’t think your mother is nagging, it is estimated that the menopause is coming. When you are away, you will focus on me all day."
Xia Jingxing was silent.
"By the way, what happened to you and Christina?"
Xia Yuan stared into his son’s eyes, “Don’t even think about lying, you can lie to your mother, but you can’t lie to me.”
Xia Jingxing was startled, knowing that Dad is not easy to fool. When he was a child, he could only lie to his mother. Dad was sad at this level.
"No, just a few words." Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed.
"A smile is just a disguise. It’s this smile every time you lie."
Xia Jingxing was speechless, and he had been used to it for more than 20 years, but he couldn't change it at all.
Zhizi Mo Ruofu, when Xia Jingxing just spoke, Xia Yuan had an insight into everything.
"Hurry up, or wait for your mother to come out, then I will have to expose the report, and then I can wash the bowls for three months."
President Xia Jing sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide this time.
"Kristina is pregnant."
A light and fluttering sentence fell in Xia Yuan's ears but was no less than Hong Zhong Dalü, shocking him for several seconds.
"How long?"
"It's been five months."
"Why didn't you tell us earlier about such a big thing!"
Seeing the blame on his father's face, Xia Jingxing had to explain all the causes and consequences.
"So, you can't get married for now?"
Xia Yuan’s face kept changing, and she was thinking quickly about the hidden worries her son had told him.
"It will definitely not work in the last one or two years. At least we have to wait until Facebook is listed and all the shares are in circulation."
Xia Jingxing is also thinking in his heart, although he has mixed 20% of his Facebook shares into a group of LPs, it is far from the time when he can sit back and relax.
Xia Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't understand the doors and ways of the upper echelons of the United States, but he knew that it is not easy for a Chinese to earn tens of billions of dollars from the United States. It can even be said to be difficult. When the son does this, he naturally has his considerations.
"Then what do you do next? Kristina can bear this kind of grievance?"
Xia Jingxing sighed lightly, “Let’s do this for now! I have discussed with her, she has no opinion, and if you want to get it, you have to pay.”
Xia Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Then you must treat others well, and don't forget."
"I know."
"Then tell your mom?"
Xia Yuan turned his head and glanced at the kitchen. The people inside were humming happily.
"Say it!"
Xia Jingxing thought for a while, he was not a thief, there was no guilty conscience, and he did not hide the truth from his mother alone.
Xia Yuan suddenly sighed in relief, at least not as a shield.
My son did bad things when he was young, and he always covered for his son. Afterwards, he was inevitably scolded by his wife.
In the past, those were trivial matters. The pregnancy of the son and the girlfriend was a major matter.
Fortunately, his son did not make it difficult for him.
He glanced at Xia Jingxing and felt that his son was really mature, and he began to learn to be considerate of his father.
Xia Jingxing explained to his father again, and then raised his hand to look at the time. It was estimated that the foreign girl had already gotten up, so he hid in the room and called.
"What? You explained everything, didn't we say it? Neither side told me."
It's late at night in China, and it's morning in Silicon Valley. The foreign girl received a call from Xia Jingxing soon after she got up.
Xia Jingxing smiled bitterly and began to soothe the babes.
Before he could say a few words with the foreign girl, he heard the surprised and happy voice of his mother outside the bedroom, and then there was a heavy knock on the door.
Xia Jingxing reluctantly walked over and opened the door, and then saw her energetic mother standing in front of her.
"Calling Christina?"
Zhang Yuqiong lowered his voice and asked cautiously, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
She just expressed her desire to hug her grandson. The next moment her son will fulfill her wish, can this be unhappy?
This year, for her, she had a very happy time.
As for the husband’s “temporarily unable to get married”, she temporarily left her behind.
Dismissed my mother, Xia Jingxing closed the door and calmed the foreign girl for an hour before it was settled.
When he opened the bedroom door and walked out, he found that his parents hadn’t even watched the Spring Festival Gala, turned off the TV, and were whispering something.
Seeing his son appear, Zhang Yuqiong smiled and said, “Hurry up and apply for a U.S. visa. I’m going to take care of my daughter-in-law and grandson.”
Hearing this, Xia Jingxing's head suddenly became big, “There is a professional maternal and child health care team taking care of her, so you can stay in China with peace of mind. When the child is born, can you visit again?”
"That can't work, I am going to quit my job and retire early..."
Zhang Yuqiong began to shake her fingers, and talked about her old-age life plan one by one.
Xia Jingxing reluctantly turned his eyes to his father, who directly avoided, pretending not to see him.
"Mom, don't worry, let me tell you slowly..."
Xia Jingxing helped her mother who stood up excitedly back, and then began to flicker.
"Mom, do you speak English?"
"I can learn, I will enroll in the New Oriental English training class tomorrow."
"Americans don’t like living with their parents. After staying together for a long time, conflicts will arise. In case Christina is emotional and the child does not keep it."
"Bah, baah~, give me a try again."
Zhang Yuqiong hurriedly beat her son, while Xia Jingxing desperately dodged.
"I don't care, I'm going to America!"
Seeing her mother with an arrogant face, Xia Jingxing sighed and gave his father a look, regardless of your daughter-in-law?
Xia Yuan returned a look, which meant that he couldn't control it either.
In desperation, Xia Jingxing had to continue to persuade her mother alone.
Seeing her son gradually fall into a disadvantage, the old woman who spoke at a speed like a machine gun also said that she was dry and her speech slowed down. Xia Yuan knew that she could come out and clean up the mess.
"Well, old lady, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so let's not disturb others."
Zhang Yuqiong was startled, is this falling to his side?
Xia Jingxing glanced at his father, who looked impatient and looked very angry.
"His wings have grown stiff, let him make his own decision, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t bring his children back to show us in the future!"
Zhang Yuqiong realized that this was putting pressure on his son, and quickly echoed: “Yes, when I was a child, I fed my older children with **** and piss. Now I start to dislike my parents.”
Xia Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Feeding big **** and pee", are you serious?
"Don't look at me with that look. When you were a kid, you lied on the bed and **** on your face. Didn't I wipe you clean?"
While talking, Zhang Yuqiong couldn't help but smile.
Xia Jingxing's face immediately became embarrassing, because there was such a thing, his mother has been criticizing him since he was a child, and the frequency of scolding is second only to "still bedwetting at the age of ten."
Seeing that the fire is almost over, Xia Yuan said, "You have to be considerate of your mother, the family is about to add a child, how can she bear her temperament."
Zhang Yuqiong heard something wrong, and asked: "What kind of temper am I? What do you mean by this?"
Looking at his wife’s increasingly fierce eyes, Xia Yuan, who was still confident about the victory, knew the carelessness, and hurriedly praised in a serious manner: “Virtuous and virtuous, honest and simple, dignified and generous, willing to help others...
I can marry your mother in this life, which is a blessing from cultivation in my previous life. "
Xia Jingxing nodded and said yes.
"Your mother is a person who can't be idle, and she likes children, which is restricted by national policy, otherwise she will give you a younger brother or younger sister."
Xia Yuan sighed for a long time, "Bringing you a child, it can be regarded as making up for her wish."
Xia Jingxing nodded again, realizing that the old father was about to use circuitous tactics again.
"However, by the way, old lady, it seems better for you to go to the U.S. to take care of the baby after the baby is born."
Looking at her sincere husband, Zhang Yuqiong looked puzzled: "Why?"
"You think, Christina, like her son, is a kind of person with a strong sense of business. You must have a big belly to go to work. Are you going to the company to take care of it? Thousands of employees watched it, even if Chris Tina allows it, and there will be lumps in her heart."
Zhang Yuqiong spread out, "Then I can look after her at home?"
Xia Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Wrong, and so wrong."
Zhang Yuqiong looked stunned, not understanding how she was wrong.
"When the child is born, you can help Christina to take care of the child, and she will be able to work with peace of mind.
Now if you run away early, maybe Christina will put down work and take care of you instead.
Don’t believe me. I can tell that child is kind-hearted and understands the Chinese culture of filial piety. She definitely does this kind of thing.
In this case, you will not only fail to take care of her, but will increase her pressure and burden. "
Zhang Yuqiong's original firm belief was shaken, and he muttered: "Am I still a burden?"
"Don’t believe me, what do Americans like to eat, do you know? Can you bake bread? Can you fry steak? Corn pie, waffles, pizza, various fruit, vegetable salads, can you make it meet American tastes? ?"
Seeing that his wife was completely confused, Xia Yuan slowed down and said: "During this time, you will learn English, learn how to cook American cuisine, and learn about American culture. Christina respects Chinese culture, and we must also respect her culture and culture. Customs, so as not to disturb her.
In the future, when your grandson is born, you can still teach him/her English. "
"Study English?" Zhang Yuqiong looked at her husband with a puzzled face. How did she feel serious nonsense?
Xia Yuan realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly corrected it: "Oh, I said it wrong. It is learning Chinese. When a child can speak, he is proficient in both languages. That's amazing!"
Zhang Yuqiong nodded, firming up his idea of cultivating his grandson into a bilingual talent.
"I just counted it out. My grandson was born in June or July, and it happens that the school is here for summer vacation.
You think about your grandson all day long, what about the kids in that school? Is it fair to say that you, the teacher, ran away without finishing the last post? What about your party spirit? What about your teacher's ethics? "
Zhang Yuqiong stopped speaking. Although she is the dean of teaching, she also serves as the head teacher, and she is still in the graduating class, which is of great responsibility.
Xia Jingxing forced his laughter, his dad usually didn't show it, and once the critical moment came, he immediately ate his mother to death.
"So, I'd better wait for the baby to be born before taking care of it?"
Zhang Yuqiong looked at her husband with uncertainty in her tone.
"Wrong, when the child is about to be born, you go a week in advance."
After finishing speaking, Xia Yuan looked at his son again and asked: "When is the due date?"
"About the beginning of July."
Xia Yuan nodded, "This is not enough, you go at this time, you have taken care of all aspects, and you can see your grandson for the first time."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yuqiong nodded, "Let’s do it then!"
Then she glanced at the time, unknowingly, the family of three had been talking until two o'clock in the morning, and hurried to wash up.
After her mother left, Xia Jingxing gave his father a thumbs up with a face full of fawning. As expected, he was a man who had never let himself down since he was a child, and his skill has not regressed at all.
Xia Yuan blinked at his son, hiding his merit and fame deeply.
