Chapter Thirty-Eight: My Father's Last Name is Zhou .....
"Mr. Huo, is it really good to leave them like this?" Maybach drove away from the mall, and Qiao Yin, who was sitting in the car, asked Huo Junyao.
Huo Junyao put on the steering wheel and didn't turn his head to look at Qiao Yin: "Xiao Zuo can send her back." "He doesn't like strangers in his car, especially women......... Joe Yin was the first woman to sit in his car.
"Where are you going back?
Qiao Yin thought for a while and said, "Xishan Compound." β
Along the way, Qiao Yin just quietly looked at the street scene outside the window. Huo Junyao frowned dissatisfied, this woman looked approachable, without the arrogance and arrogance of a rich lady, but her heart was closed, and she always rejected people thousands of miles away.
Huo Junyao held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette, although he only drove with one hand, the Maybach still drove steadily.
The car was filled with smoke, and Qiao Yin frowned.
"You don't like the smell of smoke?" Huo Junyao tilted his head and glanced at her.
She really doesn't like men to smoke.
"Secretary Liu's suicide will not be so simple. As he spoke, Huo Junyao had already snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.
Qiao Yin finally stopped looking at the street scene outside the car window and turned her head to stare at Huo Junyao.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why I cooperated with you to deal with the Zhou family? The reason is similar to yours or it can be said that it is a little different from you, I am really for revenge, revenge for my mother. Huo Junyao did not explain Secretary Liu's suicide, but said these words.
Without waiting for Qiao Yin to ask any questions, Huo Junyao raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said, "It's still early, I'll take you somewhere." β
The Black Mountain Cemetery covers a large area, and the entire mountain is a cemetery, because the bones of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty are buried here, so it is also called the Black Mountain Royal Cemetery.
Qiao Yin is not a stranger here, because her parents are also buried here, but she is very surprised why Huo Junyao brought her here.
Huo Junyao took Qiao Yin to a very luxurious tomb, and a photo of a middle-aged woman was inlaid above the black tombstone. Judging from the photos, this woman is very beautiful, very similar to Huo Junyao between her eyebrows and eyes, she is about forty years old, and the name engraved on the tombstone is Huo Wanting.
Huo Junyao respectfully placed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums bought at the entrance of the cemetery in front of the tombstone, and then said in a faint voice: "The person here is my mother, and my father's surname is Zhou...... It's called Zhou Cheng. β
Qiao Yin, who originally felt strange, heard Zhou Cheng's two words, and looked up at Huo Junyao fiercely.
Huo Jun stared at the tombstone intently and continued: "My mother was also from a wealthy family, but because she fell in love with a man who was nearly thirty years older than her, she was not tolerated by her own family, and later my mother married my father despite everyone's opposition. Although they have a lot of age differences, they have a good relationship.
My father's ex-wife had a son, who was about the same age as my mother, and he always thought that my mother had married my father for the sake of the family property, so she was embarrassed by my mother from the moment she entered the door, but my mother never complained, and took care of my father's family with all her heart until my mother became pregnant.
My half-brother did everything he could to get a fake DNA certificate and told my father that my mother was unruly and committed adultery. In a fit of rage, my father kicked my pregnant mother out of the house. Since then, her penniless mother has lived a life of exile and even left the country, and finally fell ill on the streets. My half-brother is ......."
Huo Junyao raised his head to meet Qiao Yin's eyes, and said three words word by word: "Zhou-Shi-Xian"
Qiao Yin's pupils shrank suddenly, she knew that Zhou Shaoqing's grandfather was called Zhou Cheng, and she also knew that Huo Junyao's identity was not simple, but she was still shocked.
It turned out that Huo Junyao and the Zhou family were still related......! Zhou Shixian's younger brother, Zhou Shaoqing's uncle! How much has Huo Junyao experienced over the years? You must know that Huo Junyao was not born when Huo Wanting left the Zhou family!
No wonder Qiao Chu couldn't find out Huo Junyao's identity, because there was no trace of Huo Junyao's identity in China, and even if there were, Zhou Shixian would not say anything about it or was wiped clean by Zhou Shixian.
No one knows about these grievances of the Zhou family, at least Qiao Yin has never heard her grandfather mention it, and Qiao Mucheng and Chu Yun died early, it is impossible for outsiders to know these old things.
"The reason why you asked me to cooperate is because I was divorced by Zhou Shaoqing?" Qiao Yin asked Huo Junyao this question, and she had a feeling of being taken advantage of.
"Yes, I have been in City A for two years, and I have already investigated the details of the Zhou family, originally I didn't know the relationship between you and Zhou Shaoqing, it was because of that birthday banquet, I was also present at the time. β
Huo Junyao didn't hide it, if it weren't for Qiao Yin's unexpected appearance at that birthday banquet, he still didn't know that Qiao Yin's identity was Zhou Shaoqing's ex-fiancΓ©e.
"Miss Qiao, I know that you have repeatedly attacked the Zhou family's Futian Group not only because of Zhou Shaoqing's divorce, there must be something that others don't know. I told you so much, just to remind you that you can't look at the surface when you look at things, Zhou Shixian is not as simple as you think, and Secretary Liu's matter is the best example. β
Qiao Yin squatted down, gently picked up the fallen leaves on Huo Wanting's tombstone, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Shixian has actually always coveted everything in the Qiao family, and the marriage ........contract between me and Zhou Shaoqing is just a springboard for Zhou Shixian to get everything in the Qiao family. I just didn't expect Zhou Shixian to be so insatiable, and even ruthless enough to attack his stepmother and half-brother.
In many wealthy families, there are many things like this. Some have wives and children in the family, and the male owner still raises women outside; some have a large number of children and are intriguing for more family property; illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters are also common in wealthy families.
But Zhou Cheng only had one son from Zhou Shixian at the beginning, and later married Huo Wanting, there are only a few people in the Zhou family, how can they be so chaotic.......
Huo Junyao's deep eyes narrowed together, he had already thought of other reasons, otherwise it was really unreasonable for Qiao Yin to repeatedly attack the Zhou family just because of the divorce, but Zhou Shixian's ambition was too great, right? Although the Qiao family is not the richest man in the mainland, the combined assets of the two companies are tens of billions, not to mention that Qiao Mushen and Qiao Yu of the Qiao family still have military ranks.
Qiao Yin cleaned up the tombstone and stood up and said to Huo Junyao: "Mr. Huo, since I cooperate with you, there is one thing I must explain, no matter what I do to the Zhou family, in the end, I will let Zhou Shixian and Zhou Shaoqing live, and I will never allow you to do what you shouldn't do." β
The grace of nurturing is greater than the sky, Zhou Shixian used despicable means to drive Huo Wanting's mother and son out of the Zhou family, and let Huo Wanting live on the streets and die tragically in a foreign land. According to the idea of ordinary people, killing people to repay debts and debts, Zhou Shixian is equivalent to indirectly killing Huo Wanting, so it is only natural for Huo Junyao to let Zhou Shixian pay for his life.
Huo Junyao is not her, she is afraid that Huo Junyao will do everything he can to kill Zhou Shixian and avenge Huo Wanting.
Huo Junyao's gaze moved from a distance to Qiao Yin: "Do you want to protect them?"
Qiao Yin shook her head: "Even if the Zhou family goes bankrupt in the end, they must live." "That's what she promised her grandfather.
"I said I didn't want their lives, I just wanted to get back what I deserved, even though it wasn't important to me. β
Huo Junyao looked at Qiao Yin fixedly, he didn't lie, he really didn't want Zhou Shixian's life, he just wanted to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and repeat the suffering of his mother back then on Zhou Shixian.
He had said these things last time, and how many times had he been asked to say them?
Qiao Yin avoided Huo Junyao's gaze, and her eyes were once again focused on the photo of Huo Wanting on the tombstone, where Huo Wanting was buried alone, and her parents' grave was on the other side of the mountain.
"Mr. Huo......."
"Call my name. β
As soon as Qiao Yin wanted to say that it was almost time to go back, Huo Junyao came up with this sentence.
"Hey?........." Qiao Yin didn't answer, but she had an idea in her heart.
Belch......... Huo Junyao is thirty, and she is the same age as her eldest brother, so it feels weird to call him by his name directly.......
Coming back from the cemetery, Huo Junyao directly sent Qiao Yin back to the Qiao family villa in the Xishan compound, Huo Junyao didn't get out of the car, and watched Qiao Yin enter the villa and drove away.
In the villa, only Old Man Qiao and Qiao Yu were there.
"Grandpa, second brother. β
Old Man Qiao put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his reading glasses and said with a face: "I don't go home all day long, I'm about to become a wild girl, and I can't find my mother-in-law's house after careful care." β
Qiao Yin sat next to Old Man Qiao, shook the old man's arm and said coquettishly: "If you can't find your in-law's house, you won't look for it, how good it is to accompany you to play chess and raise fish and flowers." β
"Nonsense, don't learn from your two brothers, none of the three of you will make me worry. Old Man Qiao took out a white invitation card from under the newspaper and put it on the coffee table.
Qiao Yin opened it in his hand, and it was an invitation to a charity auction.
"The city government is going to hold a charity auction, and there will be a lot of people who will participate, so you can go on behalf of our Qiao family, and I will let Jiaming accompany you when the time comes." β
Charity auctions, to put it bluntly, are direct donations.
Qiao Yin directly threw the invitation on the coffee table: "This kind of charity auction let Brother Jia Ming accompany me? β
"What's wrong with letting Jiaming accompany you? That kid is steady, and I feel relieved to have him there. This is what Old Man Qiao answered, but he was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
These two children have known each other for many years and know each other, Qiao Yin and Zhou Shaoqing used to have a marriage contract, but now that the marriage contract is gone, why can't they make further moves if they are both single?
Old man Qiao stroked his mustache, and he had been thinking in his heart, well, ....... said that they had been in love for a long time, and the two of them worked together and met almost every day, once they pierced this layer of window paper, everything fell into place.
