"Come on, let's eat while we talk... Squirrel mandarin fish, it's very delicious, try it quickly... while it's hot, this fish won't taste good when it's cold..."

"Thank you sister..."

"Speaking of..." Xiuxiu came closer and whispered with a smile, "Xiaoman...how is your...um...feeling for Ziyu? Didn't you say at noon...that they forced me to

Is it yours? Haha, as a sister, I just want to hear your own thoughts..."

As soon as these words came out, several people at the table pricked up their ears to listen. Ye Ziyu even looked at his girlfriend dreamingly.

Bai Xiaoman shuddered and did not dare to think too much, and immediately said:

"Sister, don't worry too much. Ziyu and I really love each other...I really want to marry him...even...even though it was a little forced before, but after this time, I see that Ziyu loves me so much."

, almost died for me...Sister...you know? I really...really feel that there is a man who can love you so deeply...I really feel that I am the luckiest person in the world...

elder sister."

Xiuxiu seemed very satisfied with what she heard. She nodded with a smile, patted her legs, and sat back.

She quickly glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang, then at Shang Xiaojun, and gave them both a satisfied look.

These few words made Ye Ziyu so fascinated that he almost regarded Bai Xiaoman as his goddess.

The whole family also laughed "hehe", and they all felt that whether it was true or false, or half-truth or half-lie, at least Bai Xiaoman could say these words, and at least everyone no longer felt like a fool.

Shang Xiaojun smiled, looked at his daughter, and then at Bai Xiaoman, and seemed to see something.

Shang Xiaojun also laughed, took the lead in picking up the wine glass, and said with a smile:

"Come on, kids, let's drink to Xiaoman..."

Everyone immediately stood up with a smile and raised their glasses. The atmosphere at the table was almost like a New Year's Eve dinner.

…

Shang Xiaojun guessed right.

After Xiuxiu learned that Bai Xiaoman was not an imposter, but was really the daughter of the vice president of Ford, her mind immediately became active. She thought quickly and suddenly felt that this "sister-in-law" was quite acceptable.

Xiuxiu has always had a strong sense of crisis. This sense of crisis comes from her poor background, disabled mother, and honest and careless younger brother. She loves them very much and wants to rely on Xiang Xiaoqiang's love to make herself

She can live the best life with them all her life. She also knows very well that she will soon face competition from at least three other women, namely: Her Royal Highness Princess Leping, Her Royal Highness Princess Liaoyang, and... Her Majesty the Queen.

They are noble, wealthy, and have an unshakable aristocratic status.

Even without Xiang Xiaoqiang, Zheng Yucong is still the daughter of King Yanping and the daughter of the first consortium of relatives in the Ming Dynasty; the Fourteenth Princess is still the eldest princess with an annual income of 700,000; Zhu Yourong is still the empress of the Ming Empire. Even Qiu Qiu is still the king of heaven and earth.

The eldest lady knows that she only has herself. If it were not for Xiang Xiaoqiang, she would have nothing. She would be just a poor girl from Jiangnan Academy, with a disabled mother and an honest and dull brother.

Therefore, in Xiuxiu's view, Xiang Xiaoqiang is the only support for her family and her life.

But things are different now. Ziyu has found a daughter from a large financial group, which means that his family's destiny has double insurance. More importantly, Bai Xiaoman's family background has special benefits. Their family's roots are not in the Ming Dynasty.

In the United States, in Xiuxiu's opinion, this is more stable than her brother marrying a princess.

Because the Ming Dynasty is still far away from the true democratic constitutional countries like Britain and the United States. It is still at a crossroads. Going to the right means advancing to Britain and the United States, and going to the left means retreating to the Northern Qing Dynasty. After the New Year's Coup, the power of the royal family suddenly

It has become bigger and more attractive, but it is also obviously more dangerous. Although the New Year's coup did not shed a drop of blood, but who knows whether the next coup will happen? Will there be blood?

My family is already in a desperate situation... In the political environment of Britain and the United States, even if the political struggle fails, the loser can go out with dignity. As long as he hands over his power, he can still retain his wealth and honor, and live peacefully with his family...

…

But if... Ming Dynasty continues to reverse course, ten or twenty years later, it will turn back into a traditional Chinese authoritarian state. Political struggles must be completed with blood and heads, and the loser not only loses his own head, but also his family, clan, and "party members"

Their heads will also be harvested, and their roots will be cut off... Then who knows that that day will not happen to their own family?

With the New Year's Coup, Ming Dynasty has already reversed course. My own family is the beneficiary.

What is impossible if we continue to drive backward? How many years did it take for the Northern Qing Dynasty to reverse course from the Guangxu Dynasty to where it is now? If the Northern Qing Dynasty reversed course because it did not restrict the highest power, then what about the current highest power of the Ming Dynasty?

Are they being restricted? The situation of the Northern Qing Dynasty is not happening now, but it is just relying on the Ming Dynasty's super luck, and the three generations of monarchs are all enlightened constitutionalists. For now, it all depends on Zhu Yourong sitting on the throne.

If... just if... In that case, Xiang Xiaoqiang fell... His family is all in the Ming Dynasty, which is very different from having a large branch in the United States. Ford has a huge international presence.

Influential consortium. And Fordburn

He has a close relationship with other large financial groups such as Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschild, etc. No matter who is in power in the Ming Dynasty, he must consider his relationship with these international financial groups. The weight of his family is also determined by

This is an extra weight.

…

"Come on, Xiaoman," Xiuxiu picked up the wine glass with a smile and hugged Bai Xiaoman affectionately, "Sister, I'll have a drink with you alone."
