In his father's helpless sigh and his mother's silent tears, Zhong Qiao silently withdrew from his parents' room, two weeks later, Zhong Qiao broke up with Soho, who was in love at the time, during this period there was no entanglement, nor was there no pain, but the responsibility and burden were on Zhong Qiao's shoulders, and he had no ** and no choice.

A month later, Mu Lanzhi returned to China and got engaged to Zhong Qiao, and after the engagement, the Mu family provided a lot of financing support for Golden Harvest to help Golden Harvest survive the financial crisis. The marriage between Zhong Qiao and Mu Lanzhi finally pulled the precarious Golden Harvest Group back from the death line. Only then did Golden Harvest Group regroup and continue the peaceful and prosperous era that has always been.

At this time, Golden Harvest found out the fact that a veteran colluded with others to consume Golden Harvest's funds through business dealings, but because this veteran was too familiar with Golden Harvest's business, the business transactions were done seamlessly, everything was within the scope of normal business transactions, with signatures and seals, until finally everything was clear, it was difficult to really hold him accountable from the law.

However, he alone can't do so many things, in order not to startle the snake, Zhong Qiao and his father did not disclose the matter to any personnel of Jiahe, nor did they announce the facts of the investigation to the public, they want to continue to follow the vine and investigate and deal with all the ghosts in Jiahe who have something to do with this matter.

Just as Zhong Qiao was intensifying his investigation, a familiar figure gradually surfaced.

On this day, Zhong Qiao followed the patriarch to a tea house, and saw that the person who colluded with the patriarch in private turned out to be Jiang Cheng.

Zhong Qiao was finally young and vigorous, and he didn't calm down, and when he pushed open the door of the two-person private room, the veteran who had worked hard with his father for many years and Jiang Cheng were taken aback.

However, the two of them knew that Zhong Qiao did not have full evidence in his hands, so they did not have the slightest fear of him.

Zhong Qiao trembled with anger, and he loudly asked why the two of them were targeting the Zhong family so much, and the answer he got turned out to be the same.

Zhong Qiao still can't forget Jiang Cheng's evil color at that time, he stood up and walked in front of Zhong Qiao, and said coldly: "This is what your Zhong family and your Zhong Qiao owe me, and I want you to repay it twice." ”

"Jiang Cheng, we have been brothers and sisters since childhood. Our Zhong family treats you well, why are you so kind and will take revenge," Zhong Qiao still couldn't believe that Jiang Cheng could do such a thing.

Jiang Cheng sneered: "What kind of affection, you are just using me and my father." My dad is stupid, I will be a slave to your Zhong family for the rest of my life, so I won't. Since I was four years old, the day I entered the door of the Zhong family for the first time, I made up my mind that one day I must be on an equal footing with your Zhong family. ”

"You...... Do you know that it is a crime to do this, and you will all be punished," Zhong Qiao was furious, he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so evil, he actually wanted to invade the Zhong family since he was four years old.

"Breaking the law, what law I have committed, all business transactions and capital transactions are well documented and reasonable. Each procedure is signed and sealed by the person in charge and the responsible department. It's a pity that you were too negligent because of your father's illness, so you handed over the real power to us and handed it over to my father, and my father is also a person who can be used. If you're going to arrest someone, arrest him first. ”

Jiang Cheng's words made Zhong Qiao stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to even betray his father.

"Jiang Cheng, I really didn't expect that you would be such a person, selfish, disloyal and unfilial. It's hard for you to disguise for more than 20 years, and you haven't shown your feet, you must be very hard. Zhong Qiao was extremely resentful.

"Haha......" Jiang Cheng laughed, "I'm not hard. It's you who work hard. There are many things you don't know, but you are too stubborn, too simple, and too stupid...... , even a woman like Soho is willing to let go, no wonder, you don't have the ability. Haha......"

Jiang Cheng's arrogant laughter sounded harsh and heartfelt to Zhong Qiao, Soho was the most unbearable pain for him, because he was about to marry Mu Lanzhi, and he never had the courage to see Soho again. In the month since he was engaged to Mulanzhi, he didn't even know where Soho was.

Zhong Qiao's lips trembled, he glared at Jiang Cheng, and said fiercely: "I made a mistake because I trusted you too much, and even asked you to handle Jiahe's affairs for me when my father was sick." From today onwards, I am inseparable from you, and your filthy affairs are waiting to be seen by the officials. ”

However, after these words, Zhong Qiao couldn't support it anymore, and he quickly turned around and left the tea house. The beloved woman was abandoned by herself, and her brother, who was in love with her siblings, harmed herself, and almost buried her ancestor's family business.

He has no face to his parents, no face to face the employees of Golden Harvest, and even more shame to face Soho.

Zhong Qiao then told his father everything, and his father had already received the matter from Jiang Cheng's father, who blamed himself for not disciplining his son well, and wept bitterly and grieved in front of Zhong Qiao's father.

Jiang Cheng's father knew that he was an old loyal minister of the company and Zhong Qiao's father's best friend, and the trust established by such a fish-water relationship was not a little bit, and no one thought that the ambitious Jiang Cheng would do such a thing, and this problem appeared because he believed in his son too much and was also negligent.

Whether to report the matter to the case for investigation or settle it internally, Zhong Qiao's father thought twice and decided not to report the case for the time being. Because on the one hand, as Jiang Cheng said, everything was done seamlessly, and when Zhong Qiao and his father did not focus on Jiahe's business, Jiang Cheng and the old fox took advantage of the loophole. But everything is reasonable and legal. He did not violate the law, and at most he could be found guilty of dereliction of duty.

On the other hand, Jiang Cheng put a lot of responsibility on his father, if it is really investigated, he does not have to bear too much responsibility, after all, many signatures and seals are his father's imprint, and Jiang Cheng's father bears the responsibility, and even goes to prison, but he can escape.

On the other hand, the reason is that Golden Harvest has just experienced a crisis of sharp stock prices and financial rumors, and if it is deeply involved in the news whirlpool of internal ghost operation and police involvement in the investigation, the stable situation that Golden Harvest has just recovered will be hit again.

In the end, Zhong Qiao's father chose to suppress the matter within Golden Harvest, and the veteran and Jiang Cheng submitted their resignations.

After this incident, Jiang Cheng's father has been depressed, feeling sorry for Zhong Qiao's father, sorry for Jiahe, and sorry for the Zhong family. However, Jiang Cheng had no intention of repenting at all, and even broke with his father, who was still good friends with the Zhong family.

After that, Jiang Cheng's father, who was guilty and angry with his son, fell ill and soon died. Zhong Qiao's father could only sigh.

However, Jiang Cheng blamed all this on the Zhong family, and since then he has been inseparable from the Zhong family.

Jiang Cheng relied on the funds transferred and accumulated during the crisis of Jiahe, as well as the large amount of money left behind by his father, and used the connections accumulated in Jiahe to start a business, and after becoming bigger, he established Li'an Company, and with the accumulation of time, finally established Li'an Group.

Zhong Qiao, on the other hand, married Mu Lanzhi in the depressed mood of leaving his lover and his brother's betrayal at that time, and he flew to the United States with Mu Lanzhi after marriage.

During his two years in the United States, he missed Soho all the time, but his father's request to him was that he must have a son before he could return to Ruicheng.

In desperation, he had a round house with Mu Lanzhi and gave birth to Zhong Zimu.

Zhong Zimu's arrival finally watered Zhong Qiao's bitter heart. His life was getting better again.

……

Because the marriage between Lan Ruomei and Zhong Zimu involved Jiang Lifeng's shameless conspiracy, Zhong Qiao reluctantly told his son about the unbearable past, and finally clarified the grievances between Zhong and Jiang in front of Zhong Zimu.

Zhong Zimu also confirmed from his father for the first time that his father did have a woman he loved when he was young. Thinking about his mother Mu Lanzhi again, Zhong Zimu felt that his father and mother were pitiful. It turned out that my father had experienced the same thing, and what was more painful than himself was that my father had spent his whole life like this.

However, my father still had a strong reason for me to marry Lan Ruomei, which must be a reason as important as the fate of the family. Zhong Zimu felt a chill in his heart.

Zhong Zimu couldn't imagine how he would live if he and Su Ziqi never saw each other for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, Zhong Zimu couldn't help but shiver.

"Zimu," Zhong Qiao sighed, "You're still too young. I don't know how to accept my fate, I don't know the cruelty of life. Who hasn't sacrificed, who hasn't had helplessness, you still don't know what life ......"

Zhong Qiao sighed helplessly, a man who is nearly fifty years old can only be regarded as a middle-aged man at most. But at this moment, he felt that he had come a long way, as if he was dying......

Zhong Zimu looked at his father blankly, remembering his mother's face full of sadness that day, as if he understood everything.

"One day, you'll know what it means to be involuntarily. Zhong Qiao sighed, then stood up, "It's almost dawn, you go to rest, you must be very tired, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Zhong Zimu watched his father put on his coat, picked up the car keys and walked out of the door, stunned for a long time......

And Zhong Qiao still drove to the gardenia villa, and every time he had troubles, he would go there, which was his peaceful harbor.

In order to save the crisis of the family group, he finally broke up with Soho, and then left Ruicheng with his newlywed wife. Zhong Qiao knew that Soho must have been hit hard.

After Zhong Qiao returned to China, he transferred the villa that once belonged to him and Soho to his son Zhong Zimu, in order to vacate this place permanently, empty it to himself and the former Soho.

Soho studied design in college, Soho is gone, and no one has used the study room here, but Zhong Qiao has always had a habit of buying design books when he sees a design secretary, no matter where he goes in the world, no matter what language he is......

Zhong Qiao sat quietly in the study of the Gardenia Villa, thinking of his former self and Soho, Zhong Qiao stroked the jade lion and the photo of Soho, and cried bitterly......
