Chapter 120 The Long family’s intentions…
Long Xiaohan walked in with Tang Xin, looked at everyone and asked coldly, "What's going on?"
The second son of the Long family, Long Yumin, spoke first: "We just want to take the old man back to the old house to recuperate. You are so busy, and you don't have time to take care of him when he just got out of the hospital and lives here."
Long Xiaohan looked at Old Man Long, who snorted coldly, "You guys are all busy, and you have other intentions than taking me back."
Long Yumin immediately retorted, "Dad, what are you talking about? I am your son. No matter how busy I am at work, I have time to take care of you. Besides, we are all your relatives. Everyone can take good care of you if they lend a hand."
After saying that, he looked at Long Xiaohan again: "I don't know what Xiaohan is thinking. He obviously doesn't have time, but he still insists on bringing you here."
Tang Xin frowned slightly. She had never known that the family atmosphere of the Long family was like this.
No wonder Long Xiaohan never returns to the old house. Old Man Long would rather move here than go back.
She couldn't help but say, "To take care of an old man, the old man must be comfortable. Grandpa chose to come here, which means he is willing to live here. Here are Aunt Zhang, Xiaoqing, Uncle Chen, and Xiao Zhao. Even if we are busy, so many people can take good care of Grandpa."
Long Yumin's wife Xiao He interrupted her: "Who do you think you are? We are talking about family matters. How can an outsider like you have the right to speak here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Xiaohan immediately felt the pain. They could say whatever they wanted to him, but who gave them the courage to talk about his young wife?
He married his wife to pamper her, not to be bullied. He couldn't bear to say a word to her, so how could he tolerate others saying anything?
Then Long Xiaohan said rudely: "Xiao He, who do you think you are? This is my home, what right do you, an outsider, have to butt in?"
Even though Long Xiaohan usually doesn't like Xiao He, he still calls her Second Aunt. Today is the first time he calls her by her full name!
Xiao He had already disliked Tang Xin in the hospital before, and now that Long Xiaohan said this, she immediately got angry and said, "I'm your second aunt, how can you talk to me like this? Just for an outsider?"
Long Xiaohan's face darkened, and his words were as cold as ice: "You also said that you are only my second aunt, Xin'er is my wife, my home is her home, and you are an outsider in my home! Who allowed you, an outsider, to be so arrogant as to be the master?"
"You!" Xiao He was so angry that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes trembled: "Long Xiaohan, don't think that just because the old man dotes on you, you can do whatever you want. Your father doesn't love you and your mother doesn't raise you. As elders, we have the right to discipline you."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Long threw the teacup out, landing right at Xiao He's feet.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Xiao He was really afraid of the old man. When she saw the old man get angry, she panicked. She grabbed Long Yumin's sleeve tightly, trying to seek protection.
Long Yumin shook off Xiao He's hand in disgust, "Xiao He, go wait for me in the car first, don't make Dad angry again."
Xiao He looked at Long Yumin in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would not protect her but drive her out.
She then stood up angrily and swung her skirt: "Okay, Long Yumin, I'll speak for you, and you treat me like this in return!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left angrily.
"It's just a shabby house. I don't even want to come here if you invite me!"
Xiao He's words were drowned out by the slamming of a door.
It’s not that Long Yumin is not on Xiao He’s side, he is just afraid that this woman will ruin his plans.
Everyone knows that Mr. Long likes Long Xiaohan the most!
Long Xiaohan lost his mother when he was young and his father was in the army for a long time, so Grandpa Long took him to his side and raised him personally, and finally he grew up to be the person he was most satisfied with.
So even if they all disliked Long Xiaohan, no one dared to say anything bad about Long Xiaohan in front of the old man, especially not to say that he was uneducated.
Old Master Long was really angry. "You all should go back. I'm fine here. I don't need your false mercy."
Long Yumin immediately softened his tone: "Dad, Xiao He doesn't know how to talk, don't bother with her. As long as you are willing to go back to the old house, I will let her move out of the old house, and she will not be a nuisance to you."
After Long Yumin finished speaking, seeing that the old man still didn't give up, he turned to look at Long Xiaohan and said with a smile: "Xiaohan, you and Xiao Tang just got the marriage certificate, and you can be considered newlyweds. It's time for you to enjoy your own world. Besides, you are usually busy with work, and it's not easy to rest. Time should be left for you young people. There are so many people taking care of the old man in the old house, it must be better than here."
After saying that, he gave a wink to the third brother, Long Yuzheng, who had been sitting there without saying anything.
Long Yuzheng is the most cunning person. He usually seems to be silent, but in fact he is just waiting for others to get things done, and then he follows behind to take advantage.
Long Yuzheng pretended not to see it, lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, seeming to be very busy.
Long Yumin couldn't help but shout, "Third brother, why don't you express your opinion?"
Long Yumin had said this, and Long Yuzheng could no longer play dead. He put away his phone and said, "Hey, I have only one attitude. I am willing to take Dad back to take care of him. I will definitely do my filial duty."
Long Yumin rolled his eyes at Long Yuzheng and said disdainfully: "With your attitude, if I were your father, I wouldn't want to go back with you."
Long Yuzheng's wife Tao Yining smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Second brother, our Yuzheng is not good at talking, but he definitely has good intentions. We all hope that the old man can return to the old house, and we also hope that Dad can give us daughters-in-law a chance."
Old Master Long had long been tired of listening to this, and waved his cane: "Alright, stop talking. I understand what you mean, but I don't want to go back. You all go back."
The second and third sons of the Long family and others did not move either, and they exchanged glances with each other.
Long Xiaohan simply said to Old Chen: "Uncle Chen, didn't you hear what grandpa said? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the car to send the uncles and aunts back?"
Uncle Chen immediately responded: "Okay, I'll go get that Coaster right away."
Hearing this, Long Yumin immediately said, "Don't bother, Lao Chen! We can drive our own car."
After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Long and said, "Dad, what are you doing? Xiaohan is your grandson, and we are also your sons. You can't just stop having any contact with us forever, right?"
Old Master Long glared at Long Yumin and said, "Well, you all really hope that I will die soon. Otherwise, you will not be able to give up the position of the head of the Long family. How anxious are you?"
Although Mr. Long does not manage the family business, the Long family's industries are mutually constrained. Everyone can benefit from it, but no one can get real power.
The real power in the family still belongs to Mr. Long, the head of the family, so naturally they all covet the position of head of the family.
The old man had a serious illness and underwent surgery. Although the operation was successful, they all felt that the old man was old and the surgery would only extend his life by a few years.
Therefore, they have to take the old man back as soon as possible and keep him by their side, so that they have a greater chance of becoming the next head of the family.
The old man had seen through all this a long time ago, which was why he had always been reluctant to return to the old house. He had the final say on who would take over the Long family in the future!
