This is an embarrassing question. Levi's biological mother has no relatives, but stepmother Mai Qiongshan is from a wealthy family.

It is precisely for this reason that Levi feels unnatural in this family and cannot live in harmony with other people. He feels that the three of them are a family and he is redundant. As a result, his relationship with his family is not good.

Don't go home often.

Now Levi's looked at Li Bingjian, and the memory in his head told him that the last time he went to Mai's house was a long time ago. Whether it was Grandpa Wenwen's birthday or the New Year, he always played by himself.

, never go with them.

Li Bingjian would say this now, not only because he happened to be at home today, but also because his relationship with his family has been gradually improving in the past six months, and now he seems to no longer go to extremes and has a job that he is satisfied with, so he gave it a try.

"Go ahead, I'm on vacation anyway, and I haven't seen that old man for a long time. I'm getting older, so let's meet him once..." Levi's wanted to say that we should meet him once, but not once. Although this is true, when people celebrate their birthdays, they say things like this,

Still a bit unkind.

He is not the original Levi, and his feelings for his stepmother, sister, and Mai family are not that complicated and sensitive. He just wants to have a family feeling that he has not had before, so he releases his goodwill step by step and corrects the relationship with his family.

Li Bingjian would ask, and it was because of the begging of his wife, Michelle Mai, that going with three or four people would not make her father any happier, but for her image, Levi's not going would mean what she did.

The stepmother is not good enough, so don't give her face.

Unexpectedly, his son would agree, which surprised Li Bingjian.

Levis said calmly: "People have to grow up, and I can't always have the same attitude towards life as before."

Li Bingjian patted his shoulder heavily and said nothing, but his expression was a little excited and pleased.

He is a person who seldom gets excited. In recent years, everything has been smooth sailing for his family and career. If there is anything else he worries about, it is his children. Compared to his growing daughter, his grown-up son is more of a headache for him.

Fortunately, year after year has passed. I have gone from indulging to scolding, to helpless, to watching indifferently, and now I finally see that he has grown up and is rational.

The Mai family is not very famous. They are not involved in politics and have never produced any super rich people. The family business is not concentrated in one industry. But in terms of overall strength and influence, it is not weak. The Mai family is separated and independent.

There are at least five or six people with a net worth of over one billion. There are no fewer than ten people with a net worth of over 100 million. If added together as a family, the wealth exceeds 10 billion.

Of course, it is impossible for them to merge into a group. The Mai family insists on letting brothers, sons and daughters start their own businesses separately, which not only keeps the family low-key, but also promotes family competition in a fair and just way to maintain the vitality of the family. It is not necessary to become independent early and each can rely on his or her own abilities.

Later, for the huge inheritance, there was a case of fratricide.

Mai Qiongshan is a daughter, and she is not as good as her son in terms of property distribution. She did not get more stocks or real estate. She only got the company that she participated in managing very early. The starting point depends on her parents, and the process depends on herself.

After more than ten years, she is now running the company very well, even better than her eldest brother Mai Zhiwen, who inherited more.

Levi's doesn't have a deep impression of the Mai family. He hasn't been to them for many years and has never met them. He won't take the initiative to inquire or get close to them. The only person who has an impression now is Wenwen's grandfather.

, Wheatfield. This old man’s attitude towards Levi’s is not bad. He doesn’t look down on or ridicule him. Then again, he can support his daughter to marry a poor lawyer who has just emerged. Such a person’s vision and attitude towards others,

It won't be any worse.

Today I went to Mai's house to celebrate her birthday. The family drove two cars, one is Mai Qiongshan's usual car, and the other is the car Levi's just bought.

People with money and status often don't know how to drive.

It’s not just a matter of status and face, but more important things. Such people are often busy and don’t need to drive themselves. They can handle, prepare some things, think about some problems, or take a rest on the road.

Mai Qiongshan and Li Bingjian usually have their own drivers, and the couple rarely ride in the same car. Considering that there may be emergencies, they may not come back with them. Levi's did not ask Li Bingjian to drive them.

After driving out in his own car, Li Weiwen also joined his car.

When I arrived at Maitian's house, the door was already full of cars. Those who came to celebrate the birthday were mainly family members and friends, and there were also a few business partners. Younger brothers, sisters, nephews, sons, daughters... In addition to these direct relatives, there were also cousins,

The birthday party for my nephew, uncle and other relatives looked very grand.

Li Bingjian and his wife had a driver, so they could get off the car by themselves, while Levi had to drive to the car. The other young people also drove here by themselves. After parking the car, other young people who had also just arrived greeted Li Weiwen.

"Sister Weiting." Li Weiwen excitedly greeted a girl who came over. She usually didn't have time to go to school, so she could only see these cousins ​​once during the Chinese New Year. This Mai Weiting was her uncle.

Mak Chi-man's daughter, who is a few years older than her, is currently studying in university abroad. I didn't expect that she would come back to celebrate her grandfather's birthday.

"Hmm... I seem to have grown a little taller, but my development is not good enough." Mai Weiting, who was beautiful and charming, came over to compare heights with Li Weiwen and then joked.

"How can you not develop well? You have big breasts and your clothes are about to burst." Li Weiwen also shot back. She saw a tall and handsome man following not far behind Mai Qiongshan, sticking out his tongue and lowering his voice.

He asked in a loud voice: "New boyfriend?"

Mai Weiting rolled her eyes at him and laughed softly: "What new boyfriend? I didn't have a boyfriend before... Not bad, right? A Chinese-Japanese mixed race."

"I don't understand, but he looks really handsome."

Mai Weiting's eyes slipped behind Li Weiwen and looked at Levi's who got off the same car with her and was looking around. She asked in a low voice: "Little girl, you are not honest. You have a boyfriend at such a young age? It seems like

Not bad either.”

"Huh?" Li Weiwen was puzzled, and then he thought from her eyes, and immediately smiled: "No, you are wrong, how is that possible?"

"Is your dad's driver? No wonder I feel a little out of place." After guessing that he was the driver, Mai Weiting was not interested in looking at it anymore, and changed the subject with a low smile: "By the way, I heard my mother say, your cheap brother

Will he come today? Doesn’t he disdain to come to our house?”

The "cheap brother" she refers to has two meanings. One is that her mother had a non-biological brother before she got married. The other is that Levi's is not as good as Li Weiwen. Li Weiwen is included in their Mai family. In fact, even Li Bingjian

, in the opinion of many people in the Mai family, it is because of their wife that they are what they are today. They do not respect this famous uncle as much as outsiders.

Although she was a very close cousin, the person she was talking about was her brother. Li Weiwen immediately frowned and said slightly unhappily: "My brother is giving face to my parents, otherwise he would be too lazy to come."

! Is that rare?" Mai Weiting was in a good mood and did not notice Li Weiwen's expression change, and said with a smile: "Here, let me introduce it to you."

She took Li Weiwen for two steps and introduced her boyfriend: "Wenwen, this is Xun, my boyfriend. Xun, this is my cousin Li Weiwen, isn't she cute?"

"Hello, my name is Gu Xun, nice to meet you." A handsome mixed-race man with a charming smile introduced himself gently. In such an occasion, he did not take the initiative to shake hands, which usually makes girlfriends and little girls increase their enthusiasm.

Favorability.

"Hello." Li Weiwen didn't have much experience with boys, so she didn't dare to look at him. She felt that this seemed inappropriate, so she immediately said: "Wait a minute..."

"What's wrong?"

Under Mai Weiting's strange look, Li Weiwen had already taken a few steps over and dragged Levi over.

"Let me introduce to you..."

"Haha, Wenwen, aren't you jealous of me because you are so outstanding? You want to compare with me?" Mai Weiting couldn't help laughing. Li Weiwen didn't have time to explain just now. In her opinion, she accepted the identity of the driver.

"No, Sister Weiting, this is my brother, you may have seen him before." After Li Weiwen finished speaking, she nodded to Gu Xun again, "My brother, Levi's."

Mai Weiting looked at Levi's carefully, and then looked at Li Weiwen doubtfully.

"Hello, you two, I am Wenwen's cheap brother." Levi's greeted him calmly.
