Chapter 274: Cold Coffee
"I'm going to meet with you recently about my grandparents, or someone else's bones. Su Ruotong said directly.
On the other end of the phone, there was silence.
Su Ruotong didn't believe that Zhu Xiaoqi didn't know about this matter, because on the news, when buying land, the person who came forward was Zhu Xiaoqi, and Zhu Xiaoqi must have been involved in this matter.
"I'm in the capital now, I hope to see you in three days, whether you're in France, Xinhai, or somewhere else, if the time is not coincidental, tell me the address, take five minutes to spare, I just need to see you." Don't let me find someone else. ”
In that paragraph, there was still no response. Su Ruotong was a little angry, and contacted Zhu Xiaoqi directly, it was already to give the Zhu family face, although Su Ruotong and the Su family suffered such a big loss, but she still hoped that the matter could be resolved peacefully, and they would pay back the money, and the Su restaurant in the provincial capital that she bought with the help of the Zhu family was also given to them, this matter was her mistake, and she would inevitably bear the consequences, but to lose the body of her ancestors, to be used by others is already beyond the bottom line.
Otherwise, why didn't she go directly to Zhu Xiaoqi's parents, she also had their phone numbers stored in her mobile phone, this kind of business tycoon would never change his mobile phone number because his son's engagement failed.
Just when Su Ruotong was about to hang up the phone, Zhu Xiaoqi said, "Are you okay?"
His voice was gentle and soft, with concern and temptation, Su Ruotong was stunned: "It's okay!" But he didn't ask how Zhu Xiaoqi was.
"I'm okay too!" Zhu Xiaoqi said to himself: "I'm in the capital, and my godmother recently asked me to deal with a little foundation affairs in the capital." ”
Regarding this matter of the Zhu family's office, Gao Yumei must have known, but there was a difference between relatives and relatives, and Gao Yumei finally did not choose to report to the Su family in advance, otherwise how could it be like this. So in the matter of the foundation, Gao Yumei knew that she was weak, and in order to avoid the two from meeting and contacting, she didn't let Su Ruotong interfere for a long time.
"Okay, see you when the time comes. "Su Ruotong.
"If you don't mind, we'll meet in an hour. ”
Su Ruotong was familiar with the office of the Yumei Foundation in Beijing, so she settled in a nearby café.
She got up and cleaned up, put on the clothes on her body, changed her shoes, and was about to go out with her bag, Tao Xian accompanied Chu Yuhu and Su Changqing to watch the ethics drama in the living room, and saw that Su Ruotong was going out, so she paused for a moment: "Tongtong, where are you going?"
"I went out to meet people. ”
For Su Ruotong, Tao Xian knows more than Su Changqing, and when she said this, she must have gone to meet someone who didn't want them to know. Su Changqing and Chu Yuhu's minds are all on TV, and now in the TV series, the vicious stepmother wants to attack her stepdaughter-in-law, slandering her for cheating, and the stepgrandson is another man's species.
Tao Xian stood up and walked to the entrance, and said to Su Ruotong, "Who are you going to see?"
Tao Xian asked the bottom of the matter like this, Su Ruotong didn't hide it from him, and glanced at the direction of Su Changqing and Chu Yuhu: "Don't be loud! What kind of threat has been used in our family, I have already found out, I will go see Zhu Xiaoqi now." ”
A trace of displeasure flashed on Tao Xian's face, he was a man, and of course he would be unhappy to watch his girlfriend go to find his former fiancé. It's just that if this matter is really as Su Ruotong said, it involves the issue of the Su family being threatened by the Zhu family, so Su Ruotong really can't fly away.
"I'll stay with you. This is the best plan Tao Xian can come up with.
As soon as he turned around, Tao Xian said to Su Changqing and Chu Yuhu: "Uncle Su, I'll accompany Tongtong out for a trip." ”
"Remember to come back for dinner. Chu Yuhu explained.
When she went out, Su Ruotong saw that Tao Xian didn't speak, her mood was a little low, and she explained: "The land of my family's ancestral grave was bought by the Zhu Jiadang Economic Development Zone. ”
Needless to say, Tao Xian immediately understood what Su Ruotong meant.
No wonder Uncle Su has nightmares, and no wonder Uncle Su, who has never done anything bad, can be threatened so fiercely by grabbing pigtails, the Zhu family, it's really ruthless.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the coffee shop, inside the shop, there were sparsely populated, not very many, Zhu Xiaoqi sat in the corner of the booth, saw them come in, beckoned, and when he saw Tao Xian following behind Su Ruotong, a trace of bitterness flashed on his face.
"Tongtong, Mr. Tao, hello. Zhu Xiaoqi said.
"Don't call Tongtong, is it so close? Tao Xian said confidently, smoothed his collar, and looked at Zhu Xiaoqi provocatively.
It would be nice if Zhu Xiaoqi was not so good, if he himself was not a proletarian and jobless destitute class now, anyway, now like this, how to look at Zhu Xiaoqi, how can he have a sense of crisis.
Su Ruotong raised his eyes slightly and looked at Tao Xian, Tao Xian, this guy is really too naïve, but it inexplicably makes him feel a little sweet in his heart.
"Sit down. Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Su Ruotong and then at Tao Xian, still making a gesture of invitation with great grace.
Inexplicably, Tao Xian was a little deflated, but looking at Su Ruotong beside him, he was in a better mood, how glamorous Zhu Xiaoqi looked, he still had Tongtong, Zhu Xiaoqi didn't.
Seeing Su Ruotong in front of him, who he hadn't seen for more than half a year, Zhu Xiaoqi felt bad in his heart. He has always thought that he is a person who has the upper hand of reason, and he will only like what belongs to him more and more, and he will slowly forget what he can't get. And this, after he and Su Ruotong confirmed that they were going to get engaged, he really liked Su Ruotong more and more, and liked it until the moment she escaped from the engagement in the end, his heartache turned black in his eyes, and he used the perseverance he had cultivated for decades to not faint on the spot.
After that, he listened to his father and brother, and decided to take the lead in recovering the family himself. He didn't disappoint them, and in a few clicks, he grabbed the lifeblood of the Su family, who had been idle and didn't talk like this, and there were simply too many places where the Su family didn't pay attention at all and could make a big fuss and threaten them.
The matter of the ancestral tomb is only the first step, and next, he will follow the step-by-step plan, like boiling a frog in warm water, so that the Su family will always be trapped in the small place of Xinhai, slowly accept his fate, and even become a vassal of the Zhu family, nodding his head and waist all his life, and living with a snort, so that Su Changqing, Su Ruotong, and Tao Xian know what is called the abyss of hell.
He didn't believe that those difficult lives of firewood, rice, oil and salt could make Tao Xian and Su Changqing still live like princesses and princes in a paradise, and he didn't believe that under all kinds of artificial predicaments one after another, they would never be suspicious. He wants to watch this pair of people who betrayed him fall into the nightmare of life.
But why, when he thought of Su Ruotong, his heart still hurt? And the more he thought that she would have to suffer next, the more he felt pain. Why did his mind always involuntarily drift to the point that when she was in all kinds of difficult situations, he stepped forward as a knight, saved her, and made her return to her arms full of gratitude, and then they were together, and then they continued their relationship, and lived happily ever after, forgetting everything in the past, especially that damn Tao Envy......
Those painful fragments mixed with fanatical fantasies were intertwined in his heart all the time, and even made him involuntarily slow down the pace of revenge, according to the previous plan, now the Su family should have handed over the capital branch and the provincial branch to them, and the high interest loan must also be in place, otherwise, a series of additional conditions will be in place one after another.
But he didn't, he let the matter go on forever. He didn't even know what was wrong with him.
Zhu Xiaoqi came early, the coffee in the cup was already cold, in order to hide his gaffe after seeing Su Ruotong, he lowered his head and took a sip, the bitterness was not good, and there was a strong sour taste, just like his mood at this moment.
"Mr. Zhu, I have already told you about the matter on the phone, I think I need an explanation from the Zhu family. Su Ruotong stared at Zhu Xiaoqi and said.
According to the law of Huaxia, burial is absolutely prohibited, but the people do not sue the official and do not correct it, but after it is regarded as commercial land, the trouble becomes bigger, the developer is qualified to level the grave bag above, in the construction process, dig out the bones of your ancestors, it is also protected by the law, and the family members have no way to make trouble.
Zhu Xiaoqi took a sip of coffee: "Miss Su, things are as you think, I have nothing to explain." "He's going to have to force himself to harden his heart.
"What do you have, come at me, don't touch the Su family, I am me, and the Su family is the Su family. Su Ruotong said.
"Tong...... Miss Su is really bold, it's just that what you care about most is also the Su family, isn't it?" Zhu Xiaoqi said.
"I'm here today to renegotiate the terms with you. Su Ruotong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhu is a businessman, and the situation of losing both must be the last thing you want to see, so why not come in another way?"
Hearing Su Ruotong say that he was a businessman, Zhu Xiaoqi's heart shrank suddenly, in her heart, has he become this kind of person.
But he still maintains a warm smile that has been the same for decades: "I want to hear about it." I don't know why, his heart has been shaken.
"I'll give the soldiers first here!" Su Ruotong said: "First, the Beijing branch, I won't hand it over to you." Second, the provincial branch will not be handed over to you. ”
Zhu Xiaoqi had long thought that Su Ruotong would say this, but it was not surprising. Next, Su Ruotong said: "But the provincial branch, when I bought the building, the Zhu family helped a lot, that building was bought by us at a friendly price, and it is impossible to get such a low price in the normal market, so we will give that building to the Zhu family, and the high compensation you requested, my family will also agree." ”
Zhu Xiaoqi continued to look at Su Ruotong, and just as he wanted to speak, Su Ruotong waved his hand: "I haven't finished talking yet." The Zhu family should be going to enter the catering industry, in recent years, the global economy has been sluggish, but the catering industry has always had to make money, the catering industry, the most important thing, there is a chef. How about I help you train ten chefs for free, and the level is not lower than that of Bao Ruwen in Su's Restaurant?"
