Chapter 346: Margaret Wood
"That's enough. Zhou Ming said to Martin, "Mr. Mayor, there are some things that are good to say once, if you continue to say more, it would be a bit excessive, or do you think I am an idiot who is easy to be used by?"
Zhou Ming's tone was very calm, because no matter how good Martin's acting skills were, Zhou Ming didn't believe that he brought it up unintentionally, but hoped to use the identity behind Margaret to make up his mind, but this kind of trick obviously didn't work in front of Zhou Ming, although Zhou Ming was really curious about Margaret, who was already poor enough to do this, what else could she have to affect the Great Wood family on the throne of Itley.
But curiosity is curiosity, but it doesn't mean that curiosity can be at the mercy of others.
Zhou Ming's calmness surprised Martin very much, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, I was too rude." ”
After apologizing to Zhou Ming, Martin went out and left, and when Martin left, Margaret also came over to apologize to Zhou Ming: "I'm sorry honorable sir, you are my benefactor and Julia's benefactor, we should have no reservations about you, but we really didn't mean to hide our identity from you, it's just ...... It was a memory that even I didn't want to face. ”
Zhou Ming waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, I'm not at the point where I need to rely on squeezing the last value of a poor woman." ”
Margaret shook her head: "Although I believe that Mayor Martin did not have good intentions when he came to you, he is not wrong about one thing, my identity is enough to threaten the stability of the Great Wood family, because I am the third heir to the Great Wood family, and my name is Margaret Wood." ”
This answer was completely unexpected by Zhou Ming, in fact, after listening to Mayor Martin mention it just now, Zhou Ming had also imagined what Margaret's identity was, but he never imagined that she would be the third heir of the Great Wood family.
Due to his participation in the inheritance competition of the Tang family, Zhou Ming also understood the rules of inheritance in these consortium families, and generally the closer to the blood relationship of the current patriarch, the higher the inheritance qualifications. To put it simply, as in the past emperor succession, the first consideration is the crown prince, that is, the son of the patriarch, which is the first priority, and after him, it is the turn of the brothers and the children of the brothers, which are the second and third in line.
"In terms of generation, I am the cousin of George, the current patriarch of the Great Wood family, and the aunt of Wood, the first in line to the throne. Margaret said.
Zhou Mingxin said that this was indeed the case: "Then because of the competition for inheritance, your cousin George tried to drive you out of the Great Wood family in order to get the position of patriarch, right?"
Zhou Ming said and glanced at Julia before asking, "Is it because of the problem of black people?"
Margaret nodded, and then she told Zhou Ming everything that happened, in fact, things were basically the same as what she said before, it was because she was pregnant with a black child and was kicked out of the family, and later suffered from uremia, which fell to this point, but the only difference was her identity, and all this was not what she wanted.
Thirteen years ago, the former patriarch of the Great Wood family died of a heart attack, and all the heirs had to fight for succession.
Margaret is the youngest daughter of the previous patriarch and the third in line of succession, so it stands to reason that her position should be relatively safe, and she herself does not really want to inherit the family, but the problem is that she is the sister of the first in line to the throne.
So, as the so-called puff is innocent and guilty, everything is like the most bloody romance drama, George, as the second heir in line, saw that he couldn't compete with Margaret's brother, so he hit Margaret with his idea.
At a prom at a state university, George found someone to get Margaret drunk, and then found a black man who had taken an aphrodisiac to her, and later Margaret became pregnant, and more importantly, the black child, which is difficult for the average white family to accept in Itley, let alone the Big Wood family, which is definitely a shame for the family.
In this way, Margaret was kicked out of the family, and her brother was also affected by this, losing the inheritance of the patriarch.
But Margaret's brother didn't want to give up just like that, the black classmate also wanted to make up for his mistakes, and at the same time, the three major automobile families also wanted to use this incident to deal with the Big Wood family, so there was the Itley riot that later shocked the whole United States, and it must be said that this riot hit the Big Wood family very hard, not only the loss of industry, but also the loss of influence is incalculable.
However, due to the quick decision of the new patriarch George, the Union troops were invited to enter the town to suppress it, which quelled the riot.
In the end, Margaret's brother was killed on the spot in the crackdown, and the black classmate was nowhere to be found, as for Margaret, maybe George didn't take her seriously at all, plus she herself was incognito and never showed her face, so she has been living peacefully until now.
"Originally, my brother wanted me to kill the child, but I didn't agree, although the family politics are dirty and despicable, but the child is always innocent, and we have lost the family now, I don't want to lose my child again, although she is the culprit who caused everything. Margaret smiled helplessly when she said this, and she looked up again and asked Zhou Ming, "Sir, is it stupid for me to do this?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and replied to her: "No, at that time, I think Julia is the biggest motivation to support you to live." ”
Margaret smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, but although my brother failed back then, I think my identity and these things that happened to me are still very helpful in dealing with the Big Wood family." ”
Margaret said at the end: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you helped me and Julia, and we have not been able to reciprocate, so if you want to use my identity, I will cooperate with your ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Ming interrupted her and said, "I said that I don't need to squeeze a poor woman, that is already your most desperate memory, how can I have to take advantage of your identity?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are indeed an angel sent to me by God, and your last hope in my despair!"
Margaret cried and said to Zhou Ming, it is conceivable that in the past thirteen years, there must have been many people who also wanted to use her identity to deal with the Big Wood family, but she didn't agree or didn't cooperate at all, so she would have fallen into this field now, otherwise with her important identity, whether it was the black mayor or the three major car families, whoever helped them, they wouldn't even be able to keep the house.
While speaking, Margaret beckoned to the little black girl Julia: "Julia, come over and thank Mr. Zhou Ming together, only he is a real kind-hearted person!"
Zhou Ming said in this regard: "I am not a real kind-hearted person, I just haven't completely become a cold-blooded capitalist." ”
......
Meanwhile, just outside Margaret's Villa, a car pulls out of the alley across the street, drives back to Orlando, and finally into the Big Wood family's estate.
"What? You said that Zhou Ming is in Margaret's villa right now, and today Richard of the Teff family and Mayor Martin have gone there one after another?"
A surprised voice sounded in the backyard of the manor, it was from Wood, the first heir in line to the family and the son of the patriarch George, although he set off later than Zhou Ming, but when the route of his private jet was applied for down, he returned to Itley as soon as possible, and now when they heard the situation on Zhou Ming's side, they immediately screamed.
At the same time, his father George was also here, and Wood said to him, "Father, they must be planning to deal with us, and still want to use Margaret's identity, I said that we should kill her as soon as we find her, and it will only be a problem to keep her!"
George also said meaningfully: "I kept her for the sake of my brother and sister, and she was so sensible, and she never used her identity to do anything, but I didn't expect that she was actually waiting for the best opportunity." ”
"So father, then we can just set fire to the villa, or just blow up the whole villa into the sky, lest they give us trouble. Wood said indignantly.
George turned his head to look at Wood and asked, "Do you think this is a good job?" After all, that Zhou Ming is also a member of the Tang family, and our Great Wood family is also very famous in the United States, although the competition between them is competition, but it will not reach the point where others come over and we will directly kill him, which will make it difficult for us to gain a foothold in the United States." ”
"Father, but that Zhou Ming is not really a member of the Tang family!" Wood said, "And he didn't greet our Wood family when he came to our Itley, we only have to deal with Margaret, who knows what else Zhou Ming is there?"
"Besides, we can create a conflict between black groups that will spread to that villa, and it has nothing to do with us. Wood added.
George looked at Wood a few times and asked, "It seems that you have a deep grudge against this Zhou Ming?"
"Don't you hate him, father? It's that he locked up tens of billions of our funds when he was in San Francisco, and now he actually went to Itley in person, this is simply not taking our big Wood family seriously, if we don't do something, then we will really be looked down upon by all the big families!" Wood finally said, "Besides, I don't believe that the Tang family really dares to start an all-out war with us for the sake of a Zhou Ming, even they don't have the ability." ”
George smiled, and then said to Wood, "In that case, then whatever you want to do, just let it go." ”
Wood was overjoyed to receive George's permission: "Thank you, father, I will make him regret coming to Eitley!"
Wood then left the family estate with a smirk, and two hours later, hundreds of blacks with Molotov cocktails came to Margaret's villa, surrounded the villa, and finally with a whistle, the blacks screamed and threw the Molotov cocktails into the villa frantically, and the villa burst into flames.
