Chapter 336: Left-behind children【10】
Eight years later.
Yuan Jia looked at Xia Yongxuan, who was wearing a bachelor's uniform, had just finished taking the graduation certificate and officially graduated from the university, and gave a thumbs up with a smile: "Handsome! As expected of my brother."
Xia Yongxuan put down the bachelor hat: "I'm going to change clothes."
He went back to his room, changed out of his bachelor's uniform, and walked out wearing a casual suit.
Yuan Jia is also ready to go out: "Let's go, today is the auction day for my oil painting, you should go and raise the price for me."
Eight years have been enough for Yuan Jia to become a famous young painter of the new era, and one of his paintings is enough for the finale to be placed at the auction.
What he said about asking Xia Yongxuan to help him raise prices is just a joke. In fact, his paintings have a lot of room for appreciation now, they are highly sought after by local tyrants, and their artistic value is high, and many of them are favored by collectors. .
Even if Xia Yongxuan is now a billionaire, if he wants to grab a piece of Yuanjia's excellent work, he has to fight with other rich people.
However, Yuan Jia was his elder brother, so he didn't need to go to the auction to grab the auction. There were a lot of paintings hanging in the family's studio for him to use.
When Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan were about to go out to the auction together, Father Xia, who sat on the sofa and listened to their conversation, finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Yuanjia, Yongxuan, that... can we go together?"
Xia Yongxuan said lightly: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
In the past few years, Xia Yongxuan has been enlightened by Yuan Jia and gradually let go of his resentment towards Xia's father and Xia's mother, and can treat Xia's father and Xia's mother with a normal heart.
Xia's father and Xia's mother did not abuse him, but they were not so responsible. When he let go of it, and when he had no expectations for his father's love and mother's love, he could naturally treat Xia's father and mother calmly.
Xia Yongxuan's attitude changed. At first, Xia's father and Xia's mother thought that the younger son was growing up and sensible. Later, he gradually realized that the child was completely alienated from them.
Before Xia Yongxuan had a bad attitude towards them and had resentment, it showed that he still had feelings for them, but it was only out of love. Treating them calmly now, politely estranged, this is treating them as outsiders, who would expect anything from outsiders?
Xia’s father and Xia’s mother went to Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia to ask about the situation in a panic. Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia were the ones who took care of the grandson. They understood Xia Yongxuan’s thoughts better, so they persuaded Xia’s father and Xia’s mother to make up for the two children and ease the relationship. down.
When Father Xia and Mother Xia wanted to make up for it, Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan had already grown up.
The way they make it up is to give money, buy things, and fulfill their children's wishes.
However, the wish of Xia Yuanjia and Xia Yongxuan is to hope that their parents can accompany them when they were young, and not to be a wild child without parents.
This wish will never be fulfilled.
Xia’s father and Xia’s mother gave money to make up for it. As a result, the eldest son became a famous young painter. A painting was hundreds of thousands, and later rose to hundreds of millions. The net profit of the clothing company they opened was not comparable to one of his paintings. superior.
The younger son even directly showed his face: I don't pretend, I have a showdown. In fact, I opened the investment company that injected capital for you when your capital chain broke and almost went bankrupt.
The clothing company that Xia's father and Xia's mother have worked so hard to establish for so many years already belongs to Xia Yongxuan, and the two of them only account for a small part of the shares as founders.
In the past few years, the company's right to speak can still be controlled by them. It is all due to the kindness of the investment company. To be precise, Xia Yongxuan did not intend to sweep them out, otherwise the clothing company founded by Xia's father and Xia's mother would immediately become his.
This situation is embarrassing.
Xia's father and Xia's mother thought that they could give their children a better life by working hard to make money, and let the two children become carefree rich second-generation in the future, but they did not expect that the two sons would be better than the other.
The eldest son has become a young painter, and he can sell his paintings for so much money, and he can live a luxurious life all his life by living on his own. The younger son started his own business and became a wealthy generation, and he does not need any support from their parents. Even when their company has a shortage of funds, the younger son will inject capital.
Xia's father and Xia's mother were holding the money in their hands and felt at a loss. This money could not make up for it. How to improve the parent-child relationship?
Since then, Xia's father and Xia's mother have spoken softly to their two sons at home, and never dared to teach their sons in the air of their parents, and even spoke with caution and flattery sometimes.
Father Xia and Mother Xia felt guilty for not being able to spend more time with their children before, so now Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan want to go wherever they want to go, they always want to go with them to make up for their past regrets.
But I never thought that they would not accompany children when they needed company. Now that they are grown up, they follow every day, which will only make children feel rejected.
Xia Yongxuan misunderstood what Xia's father and Xia's mother meant, thinking that they wanted to always follow him to make contacts on various occasions because they were rich. He felt that he was being used, and he was not very happy.
But Xia's father and Xia's mother were his own parents after all, and he couldn't directly tear his face or say anything more exaggerated.
Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't know that Xia Yongxuan had misunderstood. They smirked and said, "Don't we want to go with you? It's no fun for us to go alone."
Xia Yongxuan muttered, "Who wants you to accompany you?" He pushed open the door and walked out.
Yuan Jia smiled at Xia's father and Xia's mother: "Dad, Mom, let's go."
He could see that Xia Yongxuan was a duplicitous guy. He seemed to speak coldly to Xia's father and Xia's mother. In fact, Xia Yongxuan still had feelings for Xia's father and Xia's mother. It was just that Xia's father and Xia's mother kept letting him down, which made him cold.
Xia's father and Xia's mother were invited by Yuan Jia, and hurriedly followed Yuan Jia into the car to the auction with a smile.
Xia's father and Xia's mother feel that among the two sons, the eldest son has a good attitude towards them because he has deep feelings for them, while the younger son has a grudge against them. In fact, Xia Yongxuan has a deeper relationship with them. The relationship between the two generations is not so shallow. .
Yuan Jia, who crossed over halfway, is the real weak relationship. Precisely because he didn't care much, no matter how his father and mother Xia ignored him in order to make money, he would not care, nor would he resent him.
On the way to the auction, Yuan Jia took the opportunity to talk to Xia Yongxuan in private.
"Parents and moms want to make up for you, whether you accept it or not, you have to figure it out for yourself and make a clear choice not to hang around like this."
Yuan Jia couldn't stand it anymore, Xia Yongxuan said that he would let it go, but he still had feelings for Xia's father and Xia's mother in his heart, and he planned to distance himself completely.
Hanging and tangled like this, Yuan Jia felt tired when he looked at it. Every day the atmosphere at home was awkward, and he wanted to move out.
Xia Yongxuan was silent, Yuan Jia didn't say much, just mentioned him a few words.
Went to the auction hall and watched the auction that was gradually getting warmer. Yuan Jia saw a few auction items that he liked and bought them without hesitation.
In his opinion, the price is not too expensive, but Xia's father and Xia's mother were shocked. The items at this auction are at a premium. Yuan Jia bought it, and his company's more than two years' worth of money. Turnover is spent.
Father Xia just wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips. Forget it, when the child grows up, being a parent cannot make the child lose face in public places like outside.
Then, when Yuan Jia's oil painting came out at the finale, the auction price continued to climb, and the price went up in the blink of an eye, leaving Xia's father and Xia's mother stunned.
Now Father Xia really has no idea of lecturing his eldest son at all. A painting can be sold for so much money, and the cost is nothing more than some canvas paint. After making so much money, what's wrong with spending 90% of the money to buy some auction items?
After this auction, Xia's father and Xia's mother said that they were here to accompany their children to make up for past mistakes. In fact, they came to see how valuable their eldest son's paintings were.
Last time they saw how big the younger son's career was, this time they saw how valuable the eldest son's paintings were.
Xia's father and Xia's mother are in a mixed mood, both proud and somewhat unpleasant.
Parents are naturally proud of children who are too promising, but parents lack the process of their children's success, and their pride is mixed with guilty conscience.
Father Xia and Mother Xia treat Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan better.
But Yuan Jia's attitude has always been the same, without the slightest change, neither alienation nor closeness, polite.
Xia Yongxuan's attitude was a little softer, but he couldn't get close to Xia's father and Xia's mother.
The two are getting older and older, and Xia's father and Xia's mother are worried about their marriage.
Yuan Jia directly stated that he would devote himself to art and would not marry for the rest of his life, and it would not be easy for anyone to persuade him.
Xia Yongxuan met a woman he liked in business, a strong woman with a strong professionalism.
The two are very compatible in business and gradually in life.
However, the woman was a DINK and did not want to have children, which made Xia's father and Xia's mother who wanted to hold a grandson unacceptable.
But they could not be the masters of Xia Yongxuan, Xia Yongxuan agreed to be the Dink family together with Master Tongxin without any hesitation.
In response to Xia's father and Xia's mother's objection, Xia Yongxuan only said: "If I didn't meet her, I planned to never marry like my brother, and I never thought about having children. Because I don't have the confidence to be a good father, I'm afraid When I have a child, I will become a parent like you, and finally let the child have an unhappy childhood, and use the rest of my life to heal the shadow of childhood."
Xia's father and Xia's mother were suddenly speechless. They never thought that they would just leave their son in their hometown to take them to the elderly. How could they become the shadow of their son's childhood?
They didn't know that in Xia Yongxuan's previous life, his childhood had experienced the tragic death of his brother, school violence, domestic violence, the death of his grandparents... In the end, he was the only one left.
And the closest parents he should rely on are busy with business and leave him alone at home.
Xia Yongxuan in his last life committed suicide due to depression.
In this life, my brother is still alive, my grandparents are still alive, and there is a smart and obedient puppy at home. He is also a popular and good student in school. .
He used the happiness of this life to heal the wounds of the previous life.
Until the end of his life, Xia Yongxuan held his wife's hand tightly, and looked at his older brother, who was also a handsome old man, with a happy smile on his face.
He has long forgotten the regrets and pains of his previous life.
