Chapter 47: The Marriage Is Postponed
seemed to be aware of her mother's unkindness, Qiao Yanne subconsciously blocked in front of Qiao Rachel, and even Qiao Sijie gently put a hand on her shoulder, for fear that the two women would really make a move.
"Rebel!"
When Mrs. Qiao saw that her youngest son was obviously protecting the vixen, she was immediately furious, her thin lips moved slightly, and she spit out two words.
She didn't expect that although Lawyer Song had taken a lot of benefits from himself, he really didn't dare to change the content of the will privately. After all, this is a job smashing thing, once the stuffing is revealed, he will never want to be a lawyer again in his life, and there is no need to take a future.
"Your dad is confused, but I haven't yet! Even if the will is written like that, I will never allow the Qiao family's family business to fall into the hands of someone with other intentions!"
Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth, glanced at the expressionless Joe Rachel, and spoke hatefully.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Could it be that in your eyes, my wife and I are people with other intentions?"
This time, Qiao Yanne couldn't help but be a little angry.
"You know it in your heart!"
Mrs. Qiao was rare not to be partial, and even rebuked him.
Not only Qiao Yanne, but even Qiao Sijie was a little dumbfounded, you must know that Qiao Yanne has been favored since childhood, even if he made a mistake and stabbed the basket, he also had a mother to protect him, if Qiao Rin said a few more words, she would have a temper with her husband.
Who knows, because of her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law, she actually transferred the artillery fire to her son.
"How do I ......?"
Hearing her mother's accusation, Qiao Yanne was also a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but want to defend herself.
"At this time, let's think about how to do things for my father. Dad was kind to people before his death, and he had a lot of friends, so he had to be notified one by one, don't miss it, and you can't make mistakes in the number of etiquette, so as not to make people laugh. Our family has not been as good as before in recent years, and some people have been gossiping behind their backs, and this time they will say anything to make Dad's funeral beautiful......"
Qiao Sijie suddenly felt a little tired, and he interrupted the two of them loudly, reminding them with difficulty.
Jo Rachel, who had been silent, said: "If there is anything I need to do, you can tell me directly, although I am not liked by the people here, but I have to remember my identity and do my duty." ”
Now, Qiao Sijie is unmarried, and she is the only daughter-in-law in the family, although she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, but now that such a big thing has happened, Qiao Rachel also knows very well that she must not stand idly by.
No matter what he thought of her in his heart, Qiao Sijie could only nod: "Thank you for your hard work, since you are pregnant, it is not appropriate to work hard, just stay at home and be responsible for receiving relatives at home." Many people will come over in the next day or two, and some people are inconvenient to stay in the hotel, so you and Sister Fang will arrange for them to stay and entertain them well. ”
This is a pretty job, it doesn't have to be too hard, anyway, there are more than a dozen nannies and drivers in the Qiao family, and Joe Rachel can also take advantage of this opportunity to make an official appearance in front of relatives and friends.
So, she happily agreed.
Mrs. Qiao originally disagreed, but now she is overly sad and lacks energy, and she can't save face by relying on a sister Fang alone, plus Qiao Sijie has already spoken, she really has no way to stop it, so she can only sulk alone.
"Yanne, let's go out first, let Sister Fang stay and take good care of Mom, she needs to be quiet. ”
Seeing that his mother was described as haggard, Qiao Sijie glanced at the time and said softly.
It was late at night, but the entire Qiao family was brightly lit.
Since early in the morning, there are all kinds of luxury cars constantly parked in front of Qiao's house, although it has not yet come to the day of the funeral, but Qiao's family has sent people to come, and in the temporary mourning hall, there are one or two sobs from time to time.
Although there are professional staff to deal with a series of matters, however, Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne are still very busy, when Qiao Rin was alive, Mrs. Qiao was unlucky to prepare for the future in advance, and refused to start to do it, and it has been delayed until now, and everything is squeezed together, which makes people rushed.
Ran Xixi, who was still lying in the hospital, naturally knew about this important matter, which Qiao Sijie told her on the phone.
She hurriedly told him not to come to the hospital again these days, he was fine, but he should pay extra attention to his body so as not to get tired.
Hearing the news of Qiao Rin's death, Ran Xixi was not too surprised, he had been suffering for a long time, lingering on the sickbed for many years, the last time Qiao Sijie took her to visit at home, Qiao Rin had only one breath left, and it was already a medical miracle to be able to drag it out until now.
"I'm sorry, Xixi, my dad is gone, and our marriage is ...... It may have to be postponed a little bit. Although it is not like in the past, children have to keep filial piety for three years, but the two major events should not be too close to each other, and I am worried that people outside will gossip about you......"
Qiao Sijie struggled for a long time, but still talked about it.
He originally thought that Qiao Rin would be able to survive for a while, and it was just so good that he could marry Ran Xixi into the door and hold a happy event for the family, so that his parents would be happy. Perhaps, as soon as Qiao Rin encounters a happy event, he will be able to stay up for a few more days, just like responding to the superstitious saying "Chongxi" in the past, killing two birds with one stone.
Upon hearing this, Ran Xixi almost blurted out: "It's okay!"
After speaking, she realized that she had answered this as if she had already repented of marrying Qiao Sijie. She couldn't help but feel a little weak, and hurriedly explained: "Let's do the next thing for my uncle first, this is the most important thing at the moment, as a child, you must fulfill your filial piety to the end." It's a pity that I can't go in person now, so you must help me get a stick of incense. ”
Qiao Sijie promised her, and before he could say anything, someone called him, and he had to hang up the phone in a hurry.
Listening to the busy sound coming from the mobile phone, Ran Xixi stared at the screen silently, watching it change from bright to dark, and then completely black.
She couldn't tell how she felt at this moment, some loss, some sadness, and a hint of indescribable relief.
After Qiao Rin's death, according to the general people's thoughts, as the eldest son, even if he is in a hurry, he may not be able to hold a wedding within a year and a half. If you are in too much of a hurry, you will definitely provoke everyone's irresponsible opinions. What's more, he is not married to someone else, once Ran Xixi is officially exposed, and Qiao Rachel has now returned to Zhonghai, the matter of the twins is no longer a secret that only a small number of people know, and it is bound to be completely presented in front of the public and become everyone's after-dinner conversation.
These things are upsetting.
The most important thing is that Ran Xixi knows very well in her heart that she only has friendship and gratitude to Qiao Sijie, even if he doesn't want her love, he just needs this nominal marriage, but she still feels a little guilty: because she just wants to get a sense of security from him not to be possessed, and even has a strength that can compete with Zhan Xingchuan.
In this way, in fact, she is not without plans.
And now, because of Qiao Rin's death, these things seem to have to be postponed, so Ran Xixi, who has been wavering, has a sense of relief.
Of course, she also knew that if Qiao Sijie knew her true psychology, she would definitely be unhappy. However, all his energy is now focused on organizing Qiao Rin's funeral, and he has no time to take care of so much.
There was a TV in the ward, and Ran Xixi put down her mobile phone and asked the nurse to turn it on.
In the local financial news, the hostess broadcasts news one after another, Qiao's is also a well-known old enterprise in China Shipping, but when it comes to news reports, it is just a few words, Qiao's spokesperson officially announced Qiao Rin's death, and the next president is still unknown.
Unknown?
Ran Xixi's eyes widened suddenly, which was beyond her expectations. It stands to reason that Qiao Rin did not die accidentally, he will definitely make a will when he is seriously ill and choose the next person in charge of the company. Even if it is not appointed by him personally, he will give the most suitable candidate, which will be voted on by the company's top management and unanimously approved.
Could it be that there were some other accidents during this period?
She was lying on the bed, unable to sit up for the time being, and waited until all the financial news was broadcast, Ran Xixi didn't figure out the reason, but was a little confused.
It seems that the situation of the Qiao family is more complicated than he thought.
Just wanted to rest for a while, the mobile phone next to the pillow rang again, and Ran Xixi picked it up and saw that it was a message from a WeChat group.
She really doesn't remember when she joined this group, it should have been when Jiahuang was working, at first, the group was still chatting hotly, but after a while, it became a dead group just like several other groups.
Someone forwarded a video of dozens of seconds, with text next to it, saying that a guest of a high-end club died in a private room, and found Miss before he died.
Probably because the content was too strong, as soon as the news came out, the group, which had not spoken for many days, suddenly became lively again.
"Today's circle of friends has been blown up by this!"
"I went to this club last time with a client, and the quality of the ladies in it is good, but it is also ......expensive."
"Have you tried? Don't you have a girlfriend?"
"How can I have any money, it's all five figures at a time!"
"Hey, do you know who the guest who died? My classmate works at the police station, and he told me that he was from the Qiao family!"
"Haha, I guess it's that old man Qiao, he's famous for being lustful! Last time, someone broke the news, saying that he was touching Miss Manners's thigh while cutting the ribbon! This old pervert wolf really suffered retribution!"
The news was swiped quickly, and after a while, there were hundreds, and Ran Xixi didn't show up, just diving, watching everyone's conversation.
She knew that the deceased was Qiao Sijie's uncle, that is, Qiao Xiude's father. Because he is a few years older than Qiao Rin, he still has some prestige in the family, and in addition to Qiao Duan, he is also a stumbling block for Qiao Sijie.
He died in such a timely manner, was it really an accident, or was someone secretly premeditated?
