Chapter 407: You all lied to me, Rift
On the way to 'Nalan Family', Nalan Qing kept clapping Wang Ming's hand tightly.
Knowing that she was apprehensive, Wang Ming quietly held her hand to give support.
Finally, when the car stopped in an old house.
Wang Ming pulled Nalan Qing out of the car, and there was an old man in his fifties standing at the door of this old mansion. According to his own introduction, he is the old housekeeper who takes care of this old mansion.
Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, Wang Ming and Nalan Qing came to the main courtyard deep in the old mansion.
In the living room of the main house in the middle, there are some old-fashioned mahogany tables and chairs, and the first place is located in the middle of the room, where two old people are sitting.
On the right hand, there is the old man of the Liang family, Wang Ming and Nalan Qing have seen each other for a long time, so they are also familiar with each other.
As for the old man on the left, neither of them had seen him.
So when they came to the house, they both looked at the old man more. Similarly, Nalan Hao was also observing Wang Ming and Nalan Qing.
There is no doubt that this girl is his exiled granddaughter Nalan Qing. And the young man next to her is her boyfriend 'Wang Ming'.
With this realization in his heart, Nalan Hao nodded to the two.
"Qingqing and Wang Ming, you are finally here, come, let me introduce you to you. This is the old guy of the 'Nalan family', Nalan Hao, according to the generation, you have to call 'grandpa'. Brother Nalan, I don't need to introduce these two young people, right? One is your baby granddaughter Nalan Qing, and the other is her boyfriend Wang Ming. β
When the old man of the Liang family saw Wang Ming and Nalan Qing coming, he stood up and introduced everyone with a smile.
"Hello old man Nalan, I didn't bring you any gifts this time when I came over in a hurry, please don't mind too much. Nalan Qing didn't sleep well all night last night because of this, and I'm embarrassed to say something to you when I finally see you today, which makes you smile. β
Seeing that Nalan Qing was a little embarrassed to come forward to say hello to Nalan Hao, Wang Ming smiled and stepped forward to say hello to Nalan Hao.
"I'm glad you're here, and what kind of gifts do you bring. Sit down, sit down, and get some rest. β
At this time, the servant below had already brought the brewed tea, Nalan Hao smiled and waved his hand without mind, and motioned for Wang Ming and Nalan Qing to sit down and rest for a while.
After everyone sat down separately and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Nalan Qing gradually let go of some of the conversations with the two old men in the upper seat.
And in this conversation, most of the old man Nalan Hao asked Nalan Qing and Wang Ming about some work and experience. Obviously, the old man wanted to know more about the two young men.
Because he knew that the Nalan family intended to recognize Nalan Qing's child home, Wang Ming sat there quietly to deal with the old man, and did not show anything too much.
In the conversation with this 'grandfather', Nalan Qing still had some apprehension in her heart.
After all, the two sides did not have much contact and understanding beforehand. All of a sudden, there was suddenly an extra 'grandfather', which made Nalan Qing feel unacceptable for a while.
She felt like it was an interrogation. The topic always revolves around everything about her.
About her birth, about her mother, about their life, about what she has been through over the years......
"Qingqing really wants to meet her father, Old Man Liang, have you had any contact beforehand?"
Finally, seeing that the old man of the Nalan family had asked about it, Wang Ming casually asked the old man Liang on the side.
To be honest, Wang Ming didn't know how the Nalan family was going to fulfill this lie at this time, and naturally led out the man Nalan Hongbo.
"Hmph, you said that rebel? He didn't have the face to come to see my precious granddaughter."
Hearing Wang Ming's words, the old man Nalan snorted coldly and said angrily, showing great dissatisfaction.
Old man Nalan's angry words made Nalan Qing couldn't help but look at her in surprise, and at the same time, there was some worry in her eyes.
Because he didn't know how the Nalan family arranged it, Wang Ming simply stopped talking easily after introducing this topic, and was ready to wait and see what happened.
"Wang Ming, we have spent so much effort to ruin the old man of the Nalan family. This old boy is going to tear down our platform. β
At this time, Nalan Hao looked at Wang Ming with some anger. Just when Wang Ming felt a little unclear, the old man of the Liang family on the side said with a wry smile.
"Young man, if I don't know about this, how long are you going to lie to my precious granddaughter? Do you want me to explain the truth to my precious granddaughter now, or do you confess to her yourself? β
Without waiting for Wang Ming to say anything, the old man Nalan on the side continued.
In Nalan Qing's stunned gaze, Wang Ming listened to the words of the two old men singing and harmonizing, and he instantly understood the Nalan family's plan after being surprised.
It turns out that the play performed today is to sing red face and white face alone.
It seems that the Nalan family has really made up their minds to recognize Nalan Qing back into the family, and it is precisely because of this that they have gone to such a great time to sing such a play, so that they can show Nalan Qing, a girl.
In order for Nalan Qing, the girl to get a family and a complete family, various thoughts flashed in Wang Ming's mind.
In the end, he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Nalan, you didn't ventilate earlier, it seems that if I go back today, Qingqing is going to make me kneel on the washboard." β
While speaking, Wang Ming looked at Nalan Qing who was sitting beside him with a bitter face.
Since today is to let Nalan Qing happily return to the Nalan family, she will simply make a 'white face' and let the Nalan family play a 'red face', so that Nalan Qing can feel their care and maintenance for her.
When the old man Nalan saw Wang Ming say this, he didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he also admired Wang Ming's governorship.
And then he naturally acted like an elder in the family, and severely reprimanded Wang Ming and Nalan Qing's father Nalan Hongbo in front of Nalan Qing. Of course, even the old man of the Liang family on the side did not escape his blame.
From the beginning, Wang Ming came to Shenchuan City to find Nalan Hongbo through the Chess Association, and then confirmed Nalan Hongbo's identity through the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock', and then how to find Nalan Qing later. In order to take into account Nalan Qing's emotions, how to deal with this situation carefully and a series of other things. Old man Nalan sat next to Nalan Qing and explained to her one by one.
Among them, he also said some good things for Wang Ming, lest Nalan Qing really blame Wang Ming for deliberately lying to her.
In the end, after knowing the whole thing, Nalan Qing looked at everyone in the room with complicated eyes, especially when she looked at Wang Ming, it was even more complicated.
"Wang Ming, you already know the truth, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lao Li's is my father? β
After staring at Wang Ming for a long time, Nalan Qing said astringently.
"It's your father who is afraid that you will suddenly not be able to accept this fact, and even more afraid that you will not recognize him as a father, so he does not dare to let us tell you the truth of the matter. But I've always wanted to tell you about it, and I wanted to mention it to you two days ago, but after thinking about it for a while, I finally gave up. The reason why I haven't told you about this thing is because I want to give you a buffer to understand, and I didn't deliberately deceive you. β
Facing Nalan Qing's eyes, Wang Ming vaguely remembered the scene when Nalan Qing was sad and wanted to leave him when he was in Huajing City.
Knowing that Nalan Qing was very uncomfortable at this time, Wang Ming didn't want her to have any misunderstandings because of these things.
"I asked them to do this in this matter, Wang Ming, he actually advocated from the very beginning not to hide anything from you."
At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man came from the direction of the door.
Nalan Qing looked in the direction where the voice came from, and I don't know when 'Lao Li' was already standing at the door.
And at this moment, she should probably change her name to call this man 'father', or Nalan Hongbo
"Why be afraid that I know the truth? Do you feel sorry for my mother? β
From the moment she saw Nalan Hongbo, Nalan Qing finally collapsed gradually
No matter how strong she is, she will only be a girl after all. Knowing the truth of the matter and experiencing the ups and downs, her mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
And the appearance of Nalan Hongbo made her already hΓΊnluΓ n state of mind move again.
"I am indeed sorry for your mother, and I am sorry for you. But listen to me, I'm in trouble here. I did go back to look for your mother, but I didn't find ......."
Seeing Nalan Qing's somewhat moving appearance, Nalan Hongbo was stunned for a moment before he said astringently.
His fears finally came true, and at this moment, he had to face the bitter fruits of his own sowing.
"I don't listen to liars, I don't listen to liars, you liars, you are all liars"
Covering her ears, Nalan Qing didn't want to listen to any explanation from Nalan Hongbo, let alone trust anyone in the room at this time.
hΓΊnluΓ n is abnormal, she just wants to be alone at this time, she just wants to escape from the things in front of her.
These things are too sudden. She wasn't mentally prepared for anything, and she didn't expect things to be like this.
Shaking her head and roaring, Nalan Qing rushed out of the house and ran outside.
She was going to get out of here, not seeing anyone, so that she could calm down and think about how to deal with this chain of events.
didn't expect the situation to change like this, Wang Ming was stunned for a moment and hurriedly rushed out of the house, wanting to catch up with Nalan Qing.
But there was a figure faster than him who rushed from the door to the outside of the courtyard early, chasing Nalan Qing.
"Wang Ming, you let her father be alone with her for a while. After all, these things need to be handled by their father and daughter alone. As for you, the old man of the Nalan family has something to say to you. β
Seeing that Wang Ming also wanted to chase out, the old man of the Liang family waved his hand to stop him.
"Old man Nalan, a fake show can be real, but it's fake after all. I don't approve of Nalan Qing's return to your 'Nalan family'. β
Standing there, Wang Ming looked at Nalan Hao and said coldly.
As soon as he said his words, the faces of the two old men in the room changed at the same time.
Wang Ming has something to say in his words, and the meaning is not good.
This sudden change made Old Man Nalan's face change drastically and at the same time he looked at Wang Ming again, and at this time he realized that Wang Ming, who had been smiling or indifferent just now, was actually thinking like this in his heart under the disguise of his appearance.
And in this case, what did he cooperate with himself just now?
"Nalan Qing is my granddaughter, even if I do a fake show, I want her to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. This matter is only good for her, not harmful. β
After thinking about it for a while, Nalan Hao looked at Wang Ming and said slowly.
He held the teacup in his hand and rubbed it gently, thinking about the thoughts and purposes of Wang Ming, a young man.
Over time, these old people can often see many things through some clues.
Similarly, the old man of the Liang family on the side also frowned slightly, sitting on the side silently observing the dynamics of the field.
Originally, he also thought that Wang Ming's performance in front of Nalan Qing with them just now was equivalent to Wang Ming agreeing to their way of doing things by default in his heart, and let Nalan Qing return to the Nalan family naturally.
However, at this time, Wang Ming's sudden change of attitude made Old Man Liang not sure what Wang Ming's intentions were for a while.
At this time, Wang Ming spoke.
"Then in that case, I don't know what the two old men want to talk about when they left me alone?"
After glancing at Nalan Qing and Nalan Hongbo, who had rushed out of the courtyard and gradually disappeared from sight, Wang Ming opened his mouth and gently sat back on his original seat.
Wang Ming's words made the two old men in the upper seat stunned for a moment.
At this time, they vaguely guessed what the reason for Wang Ming's sudden change in attitude was.
Whether it is the 'Liang family' or the 'Nalan family', the important reason why they value Nalan Qing is because of Wang Ming's existence.
If Nalan Qing's boyfriend didn't have a certain amount of influence, the two families wouldn't value Nalan Qing's influence so much and have some relationship with her.
Of course, among them, there is also the reason for Nalan Qing's father, Nalan Hongbo. If it weren't for him, a father, who decided to pass on the heirlooms of the 'Nalan family' to Nalan Qing, a girl, I'm afraid the 'Liang family' would not have paid attention to Nalan Qing.
After figuring out the reason, the two old men looked at each other before they saw the bitter smile and helplessness in each other's eyes.
The young man in front of him is not easy to deal with.
Deep down in their hearts, what they value is the impact and long-term benefits that Nalan Qing can bring. But for Nalan Qing, a girl, even Nalan Hao, his own grandfather, he doesn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
But it's different for Wang Ming, what he cares about is Nalan Qing, not the two families of the 'Nalan family' and the 'Liang family' that are implicated behind it. Even, because of Nalan Qing, Wang Ming didn't have much affection for these two families.
According to Wang Ming's attitude at this time, Nalan Qing was not here, but he no longer had false contact with the two of them because of Nalan Qing.
The two old men could see that Nalan Qing had a very important position for Wang Ming.
The negotiations they wanted to negotiate with Wang Ming next did not seem to be going well.
But seeing Nalan Qing's influence on Wang Ming, if this point is grasped well, it can also receive unexpected results.
β¦β¦
Thinking about a series of things, Nalan Hao was silent for a while and did not speak.
Finally, after thinking about it, he said to Wang Ming: "I left you here to discuss with you about Nalan Qing's child." As you can see, this kid doesn't have much affection for our family. In the future, if the family really lives together, it will inevitably be inconvenient. From the bottom of my heart, although I don't like this child too much, I feel a little guilty. If I hadn't asked Hongbo to come back and get married, I'm afraid this child wouldn't have suffered so much over the years. β
When he said these words, Old Man Nalan sighed, and his voice was a little bitter.
Hearing what he said, Wang Mingfang really understood the reason for the separation of Nalan Hongbo and Nalan Qing's mother back then. Thinking that it was because of the pressure of the family, Nalan Hongbo had to marry Li Rong and start a family, and then lost Nalan Qing's mother.
"Nalan Qing will live with me in the future, and he won't have too much to do with your Nalan family. I only have one thing to ask you to do, don't hurt her. I don't want anyone to hurt her in the slightest, especially emotionally. β
Shaking his head, Wang Ming said in a deep voice.
Nalan Hongbo does have some father-daughter affection for Nalan Qing, but apart from him, Wang Ming almost dares to decide, and few people in the entire Nalan family will treat Nalan Qing well
Not to mention anything else, just from the old man Nalan Hao today, you can see one or two
So at this moment, Wang Ming simply stated his position, not wanting Nalan Qing to be too involved with the Nalan family.
"Wang Ming, how can you say that? The old guy of the Nalan family is still a good person, you don't have to worry about what grievances Nalan Qing will suffer. And the big guy won't let her female doll suffer any grievances. β
The old man of the Liang family on the side was a little unbearable, and he persuaded on the side.
When I contacted Wang Ming in the past, I had never seen Wang Ming so unkind. Seeing Wang Ming's appearance today, the old man of the Liang family was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"Since you say so, that's fine. I have no opinion if you want to take Nalan Qing away, but the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' of our 'Nalan Family' must be left behind. It's a family inheritance that can't be taken away by others. β
Seeing that Wang Ming was a little too sharp, the old man Nalan's face was also a little sunk. He looked at Wang Ming for a while and then said coldly.
"I'll just say it, I'm afraid Old Man Nalan doesn't have much affection for your granddaughter. That's fine, I'll go back and see what she's talking about. But until then, I hope that all of us will try to contact as usual in front of her. I have what I value, you have what you value, everyone has their own needs, don't affect each other. I'll give you an answer in two days. β
Seeing that the old man Nalan Hao finally couldn't hold it back, Wang Ming stood up and spoke while sneering in his heart.
After saying that, he turned and left, not talking to the two old men again.
The Nalan family disappointed him and made him feel worthless for Nalan Qing.
β¦β¦
Wang Ming's departure made the two remaining old men in the room look at each other, and after glancing at each other, they both sighed at the same time.
"How did things come to be the way they are? Didn't we have a good relationship with this young man as we said beforehand? Now that you're doing this, the relationship is completely deadlocked. β
Looking at Nalan Hao, who was sitting opposite, the old man of the Liang family said depressedly.
Originally, he had a good relationship with Wang Ming, and he had said that he would invite Wang Ming to their hospital to discuss medical skills together, and by the way, inquire about some of the whereabouts of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Needle'.
It's good now, the relationship between the several parties is completely stiff today, and the relationship between their 'Liang family' and Wang Ming has also become ossified. If you want to contact Wang Ming in the future, it will not be too simple.
"Didn't you see that? This kid's aggressive appearance makes it clear that there is nothing to talk about between us. Are you going to let my old face stick to his cold ass? I, Nalan Hao, haven't reached this point yet, and our Nalan family hasn't reached the point of begging for help. β
Hearing the words of the old man of the Liang family, Nalan Hao glanced at him and said with some anger.
I didn't expect Wang Ming, this kid to be a smiling tiger, a two-faced person.
Just now, they were still talking and laughing together, but in a blink of an eye, they were cold-faced.
Faced with this situation, Nalan Hao was also full of depression.
"Are you really going to take the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' back from that female doll? I'm afraid that Hongbo's kid won't agree, besides, Wang Ming, a young man, may not do what you say. β
Hearing Nalan Hao's words, the old man of the Liang family shook his head and asked.
He saw the things in front of him from beginning to end, and he was a little helpless when things became the way they are now.
But at this point, all that remains is to find a solution, and it is useless to shake your head and sigh here.
"That 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' was passed down by the ancestors of our Nalan family, and it is definitely impossible to pass it on to a female doll. This matter, no matter what, the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' must be returned to our 'Nalan Family'."
Putting the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, Old Man Nalan said angrily.
"This ...... Okay, I'll go back and talk to that kid about our family. This is a headache, the rules set by the ancestors are not child's play......"
Seeing Nalan Hao's tough attitude, the old man of the Liang family said with some embarrassment.
The 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' is related to the inheritance and development of the two families, and some rules have been set since their ancestors, so that their two families can support each other's development. This involves the token of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock', and it also involves the power of the heads of the two families.
Therefore, at this time, the 'Nalan family' wants to take back this 'dragon and phoenix longevity lock', which can almost be said to affect the whole body, and their 'Liang family' is bound to be affected to a certain extent.
In this matter, the old man of the Liang family wants to go back and discuss it with his son Liang Yi, and now the host of the 'Liang family'.
Nalan Hao knew the rules here, so he didn't keep the old man of the Liang family too much, and immediately sent someone to send this old brother back to the Liang family.
And after the old man of the Liang family left, Nalan Hao sat alone in the room, thinking about what action to take next to get back the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' of their 'Nalan Family'.
β¦β¦
After leaving Nalan's house, Wang Ming dialed Nalan Qing's phone.
Unfortunately, when the phone call, there was only a prompt that the other party had turned off the phone.
In desperation, Wang Ming dialed Nalan Hongbo's mobile phone again.
Fortunately, Nalan Hongbo's mobile phone was connected.
After making the call, Wang Mingfang learned that Nalan Hongbo was in a quiet teahouse with Nalan Qing at this time. At this moment, Nalan Hongbo was explaining to Nalan Qing what happened back then, and wanted to get her understanding.
After receiving a call from Wang Ming, Nalan Hongbo briefly talked to him and then handed the phone to Nalan Qing.
"I'm sorry to worry about me. I'm going to be much better, don't worry too much, I'll get back to you later." β
Nalan Qing's voice was still a little hoarse, obviously the sequelae left after crying just now.
Hearing her words, Wang Ming was relieved.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. In fact, Uncle Nalan really wants to make up for the love debt he owes to your mother and daughter over the years, and of course, he has indeed made unforgivable mistakes before. Either way, it doesn't matter if you sit with him and talk about your mother's past. Don't think too much about it, I'll wait for you to come back. β
Said to Nalan Qing in a slow voice, Wang Ming didn't want her to worry about these things.
"Well, I see, don't worry, I'll listen to you."
Hearing Wang Ming's words of concern, Nalan Qing nodded obediently and said softly.
β¦β¦
Not long after Wang Ming and Nalan Qing hung up the phone, when he was about to take a taxi back to the hotel, he received a call from Hua Feng.
Early this morning, Hua Feng took Hong Jiangyun and Hong Jiangxia, a brother and sister, to the land for a field inspection, and asked the members of the 'Hua Group' branch in Shenchuan City to take care of the relevant procedures and other matters related to the auction of the land.
At this time, Hua Feng called, presumably because things had made some progress.
"My suggestion, cousin, is that we find another piece of land. The land we are looking at now is not simple, so let's not move it. β
After the phone was connected, Hua Feng's first words made Wang Ming's heart sink a little.
"What? What did you find over there? β
Raising his eyebrows in some surprise, Wang Ming asked.
With an indescribable perception, Wang Ming knew that what Hua Feng had discovered was probably inseparable from the people he had met that day.
Brother Chen said that there may be an underground boxing arena in that place, and there are also many secret locations of the underworld. And there, he also met some of the characters of the previous Tao. So he suggested that we should try not to attack the idea of this land. β
Because Er Han and Chen Ji both accompanied Zhou Wanqing's mother and daughter to the 'Zhang family', Chen Taichong, who was alone in the room, also felt quite bored, so he followed Hua Feng and the others to see the land.
It was precisely because of the presence of him, a figure who had previously worked in the underworld in Shenchuan City, that Hua Feng discovered some inappropriateness in that piece of land under his guidance.
It is precisely because of this that he suggested this to Wang Ming.
"Okay, I see, I'll talk about it when you get back. What's the situation on Wanqing's side? Did she call you? β
After knowing the approximate reason, Wang Ming nodded and said.
Since this piece of land can't be moved easily, why does Zhang Tian still look like he is bound to win?
Thinking of this, Wang Ming was a little worried about the outcome of Nalan Qing's mother and daughter going to the 'Zhang family'.
