Chapter 7.16 Update
At the same time, the news that Zhuang Qing took the eldest lady of the Zhuang family home reached Zhuang Yueci's ears.
Zhuang Yue's face was heavy at that time.
Yesterday afternoon, when he knew that Zhuang Yiwei's traces were about to be discovered by Zhuang Qing, his choice was to take a risk and kill Zhuang Yiwei first.
Because he knew what kind of weight a granddaughter who looked almost the same as Jin You would occupy in Zhuang Qing's heart.
Zhuang Yuoci had already seen Zhuang Qing clearly.
This man has no feelings in his heart, or rather, all his feelings were given to Jin You, and after Jin You's death, his feelings were also buried. He is just a cold machine, with a cold gaze, looking at his children and grandchildren, watching them fight with cold eyes, occasionally interfering, just to hone in the best heir.
Originally, Zhuang Yihe resigned to Zhuang Yihe, and the advantage was already obvious, Zhuang Yihe was too young to take on a big responsibility, and it was difficult to say what he could go in the future. Zhuang Yueci believes that for the sake of the banker, Zhuang Qing will make the most suitable choice.
At that time, the only variable was Zhuang Yiwei.
However, God bless him, Zhuang Yiwei was really able to change his face and become his biggest obstacle.
He only hated that he didn't believe what the nurse said before, and killed Zhuang Yiwei, who might have changed dramatically inexplicably, in advance, to cause today's situation.
As long as Zhuang Yiwei comes back, the position of the head of the Zhuang family will no longer have anything to do with him. Zhuang Qing will definitely pass on the position of head of the family to Zhuang Yihe, even if Zhuang Yihe's ability is not as good as him, but with Zhuang Yihe being closer to Zhuang Yiwei in blood, Zhuang Yihe can easily gain Zhuang Qing's approval.
Yes, it's that unfair.
But the entire Zhuang family can have today's status because of Zhuang Qing, so even if he is unfair, what room do others have?
How can Zhuang Yu be willing? He has worked hard for so many years, but it is not for Zhuang Yihe to make a wedding dress.
If he can successfully kill Zhuang Yiwei and then destroy the corpse, then, if he doesn't really see Zhuang Yiwei's appearance change, even if Zhuang Qing is angry for a while, he will teach him a lesson, and it will not make him break his muscles and bones. Although it may offend the Sun family because of this, as long as Sun Lao is fine, the dealer can deal with this unpleasantness. If this plan succeeds, the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages.
Zhuang Yueqi didn't think about the possibility of failure at that time.
However, when the people he sent came back and said that it was because the son of the Zhong family intervened, ruined the plan by mistake, and failed the task, he trembled all over.
When he was planning the next wave of assassinations, he had learned that Zhuang Qing had received the news and was rushing to the hospital.
All plans had to be stopped.
The power of Zhuang Yueci could not help Zhuang Qing, and he hit the stone with an egg, but in vain.
What we need to do now is to wait and see what happens.
Zhuang Yuoci said to his henchman Liu Li: "Let people continue to stare at the old man and Zhuang Yiwei, and if there is any movement, come and sue me." You go to the dinner and watch, a qiΔ is held as usual, and there is no difference cuΓ². β
β¦β¦
There are not many descendants of the Zhuang family, but there are many large houses and two rooms, but there are a lot of side branches, on the banquet hall, there are nearly 100 people, in today's birthday banquet of the second room of the Zhuang family, Yan is smiling, a joyful atmosphere.
Zhuang Youci and his wife and their daughter Zhuang Yiyue shuttled back and forth in the crowd, which was the spring breeze.
Zhuang Mingrui saw that his daughter Zhuang Ziqing was just talking around behind her brother, and couldn't help pushing the lady next to her, "Look at your daughter, how old is she, she only cares about playing, and she doesn't know anything at all." β
Liu Yin was dissatisfied: "How old are you?" She was no more than twenty years old. Besides, isn't it good that she gets along with her cousins? β
Zhuang Mingrui said: "What do you know? Those cousins and we can see each other on a regular day, but it is rare that today is Zhuang Yue's birthday, so he invited us to come to the main house. What do you think is a good chance to please Zhuang Yue's family? β
Liu Yin said: "Flattering Zhuang Yue? What's the use of this, the dealer doesn't care about them in the future. Waiting for the old man Zhuang... Doesn't this dealer have to be handed over to the big house? Isn't that a wasted effort? β
Zhuang Mingrui said impatiently: "What are you doing with so many questions?" You do what I say. It's right to ask Ziqing to have a good relationship with Zhuang Yiyue. β
Although Liu Yin looked dissatisfied, she knew that her husband had always had a lot of eyes, so she still listened to the persuasion.
When Liu Yin left, Zhuang Mingrui whispered to himself: "The banker's big house? Hmph, seeing that the old man is so old, which of the banker's big houses can stand up? I think this dealer will sooner or later be handed over to the Zhuang Contract. β
Obviously, there are not a few people in the Zhuang family who have such ideas, whether it is around Zhuang Yuor and his wife, or around Zhuang Yiyue, there is no shortage of people who greet them.
At 7:50, Zhuang Yuoci looked at his watch.
At six o'clock, people began to enter the banquet one after another, and at eight o'clock the banquet was officially seated, but at this time, the old man had not yet appeared.
Zhuang Youci's eyes rolled and met Liu Li's gaze.
Liu Li shook his head.
Zhuang Yu resigned, sneered in his heart, but as usual, he smiled and announced that the dinner party had begun, and everyone was invited to take their seats.
Some people listened, found their place and sat down, but there were also groups of people in threes, twos, fours, and five buzzing discussions.
At the birthday banquet held in the main house of the Zhuang family, Mr. Zhuang did not attend the birthday banquet of his second son? This is not sick or painful, why don't you attend? Could it be that Old Man Zhuang was dissatisfied with his second son, so he deliberately lowered his face?
Everyone is a human spirit, does Zhuang Lao come like this, does it show that he does not support his second son? This statement is enough to make many people shy away from Zhuang Yueci, however, there are still many people who bet on Zhuang Yueci. Therefore, the banquet is still lively.
Zhuang Yue straightened his tie and stood on the small stage in front of the banquet hall to speak: "I'm glad that everyone is here to attend the birthday banquet..."
The audience was quietly listening to Zhuang Yueci's speech, but at this moment, a high-pitched and rich male voice came from the door of the banquet hall, "Mr. Zhuang, hereβ"
Zhuang Qing walked forward and paused.
Zhuang Shun immediately understood and said to the waiter: "This is the eldest lady of the Zhuang family." β
After the meeting this afternoon, of course the waiter would not recognize Zhuang Yiwei, but he first reported the name of Zhuang Qing who was walking in front, and then saw Zhuang Yiwei preparing to report the time, but he was once again shocked by her appearance, and even forgot his own work.
It wasn't until Zhuang Shun reminded him that he nodded stunned, "Oh... It's the eldest lady. β
Zhuang Shun raised his eyebrows, "Don't hurry up and report it yet." β
The waiter woke up like a dream, "Miss Zhuang, hereβ"
This registration is like a chicken blood, and the excitement conveyed by that voice is inexplicable.
Originally, when the waiter reported the arrival of Old Man Zhuang, although everyone felt a little abrupt, but after thinking about it, they felt normal, which big man didn't like to arrive late? What if Zhuang Lao came over a little late? It's finally here, and that's normal. Let's just say, the two fathers and sons are a family, where will there be any awkwardness, as for the face of their own son.
Some people secretly think that they are stupid, and some people secretly like that they are smart.
In the midst of his mixed thoughts, he heard the waiter's excited and inexplicable voice call another person.
Miss Banker?
The lady of the dealer who has never appeared in a formal setting?
It's really strange that one has appeared today!
But the waiter shouldn't be excited, right?
Zhuang Qing walked slowly and steadily towards the front with a cane, and the goal was where Zhuang Yueci was now.
Zhuang Yiwei followed behind Zhuang Qing, not squinting.
Zhuang Youci looked at Zhuang Qing and Zhuang Yiwei who were walking towards him, and resentment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
It's not that his father doesn't give him face, but he is slapping him in the face.
At his birthday party, he deliberately let other people completely steal his limelight. After that, what will people on the outside think of him?
However, Zhuang Qing's pair of sharp eyes are still sharp, but there is no side love.
He didn't feel any guilt for the harm he had done to his son.
Before Zhuang Qing approached, Zhuang Yue had no choice but to leave the microphone position.
As Zhuang Qing stood in her position, Zhuang Yiwei, who had been facing everyone with her side face and back, also turned around, completely exposing her face to everyone's sight.
Then, there was the sound of shattering glass.
Zhuang Yuoyan looked stupid, which made the face of the middle-aged woman next to her distort, "Youyan? How old is my father, and how can he still be...? Doesn't this ruin the reputation of our bookmaker? β
Zhuang Yuoyan shook his arm, still in a trance, and muttered: "Mother... Yaya, am I dreaming? β
Lin Ya was stunned, "What mother are you talking about?" β
"She looks exactly like her mother."
Zhuang swept the audience. In the past, his deterrent power was not to be ignored, but now it is not so effective, and only half of the people have come to their senses.
Although there will be no loss of meat when you are looked at twice, it doesn't taste so good to be stared at like this all the time.
Zhuang Yiwei kept smiling, glanced at Zhuang Qing, and whispered, "Grandpa? β
"Today," Zhuang Qing said two words, paused, obviously waiting for everyone's reaction, and continued, "I officially introduce to you that this is the eldest granddaughter of my Zhuang family, Zhuang Yiwei." β
The scene was silently silent, and suddenly boiled like oil into water.
Although Zhuang Yiwei has not appeared on formal occasions, it is not that no one has seen her in normal times.
How could that frustrated, thin and cowering woman like a refugee be the woman who was so beautiful today that she was not like a mortal?
Zhuang Yiran lost his voice and said: "How is it possible! β
Zhuang Qing frowned and glanced at Zhuang Yiran.
Zhuang Yiran subconsciously took a step back.
When Zhuang Qing shifted his gaze, a cold sweat broke out on Zhuang Yiran's forehead. She bit her lip and took two steps closer to Zhuang Yuqi, "Father, grandpa, what's wrong with him?" Even if he misses his sister again, he shouldn't just find a replacement! No matter how good-looking this person is, he is not a sister! Father, can you bear to let your sister's name be taken by a woman who doesn't know what intentions are? β
Zhuang Yuo took a few steps forward, with a sad and indignant face, "Father, mother, her face... How can you let her face be tarnished by someone who doesn't know what to do! β
"Shut up." Zhuang Qing looked at Zhuang Yuyan with cold eyes, "This is your daughter, Zhuang Yiwei." β
Zhuang Yiran and Lin Ya glanced at each other.
The meaning of these two people's words actually means that Zhuang Yiwei's face looks the same as the deceased Mrs. Zhuang?
Zhuang Yuoci stepped forward at this time, "Father, we all know that Yi Wei is not like this. Father, I don't know why you want this person of unknown origin to confuse the lineage of the Zhuang family and replace Yiwei's identity, but neither my brother nor I will recognize her. Big brother, are you right? β
Zhuang Youyan nodded, "Father, she is not my daughter." I don't admit it. βγ
