The Xiao family is prosperous, and every Spring Festival dinner, the four generations are in the same house, with nearly 20 tables inside and out, and hundreds of people.

Despite this, before the old lady of the Xiao family died, there were very few members of the huge Xiao family who were qualified to step into the No. 1 villa in Xishan, Xiao Yuan, who was the head of the Xiao family, liquidated one, Xiao Yuanqing's younger brother counted as one, and among the three generations of members, only the proposed successor Xiao Jun, and among the four generations of members, there were only Xiao Fei, Xiao Nan, and Xiao Mad three people.

Among these people, Xiao Yuanqing values the former Xiao Fei the most, and the most doting is Xiao Mad, who causes trouble all the time.

In such a situation, even if Xiao Mad went in for half an hour and didn't come out, all the core members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Yuanqing, didn't go in and pull him out.

Half an hour later, Xiao walked out of the main building of the villa with red eyes, tears remaining on his face.

"Why don't you let Donglai in?"

Out of the main building, Xiao Mad looked at the core members of the Xiao family angrily, and finally set his eyes on Xiao Yuanqing, who also doted on him, and said: "Grandpa Donglai has saved the lives of many founding heroes such as the old lady, and he is as kind to my Xiao family, and the old lady is also commensurate with him as a grandson - why don't you let him in?" ”

"Little madness!"

Even though Xiao Yuanqing is also extremely doting on Xiao Mad , but he is the head of the family after all, he often has a straight face on weekdays, with a non-angry and self-authoritative expression, and the majesty of the Xiao family is very high. ”

"I ......"

"Pei Donglai's grandfather is indeed kind to the Xiao family, but your old lady has stood up for him twice. It's also considered to be a return to that kindness. ”

Xiao Yuan coldly interrupted Xiao Mad's words, "He is an outsider to the Xiao family after all. Now that your old lady is gone, the Xiao family will face the biggest challenge and crisis in the past twenty years, how can we make things worse for an outsider at this time...... Xiao opened his mouth wildly, trying to say something, but saw Xiao Yuanqing and the members of the Xiao family with expressionless expressions. Eventually, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Little madman, I know you have a lot of feelings, but you have to always remember it. You are a member of the Xiao family, and everything is based on the overall situation of the Xiao family. ”

Seeing that Xiao Mad was speechless, Xiao Mad was his little grandfather. frowned and said, "I heard that you brought a group of fox friends to join an organization of the Winter and Summer Meeting, and that organization was formed by Pei Donglai." You don't stay well in the army, what are you messing around? Hurry up and get out! ”

"I joined the Winter and Summer Meeting, and the old lady has not objected, but on the contrary, he has a supportive attitude, why should I withdraw?"

Because of the death of the old lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Mania's mood was a little depressed, and he had witnessed what the core members of the Xiao family had done to Pei Donglai, and he was quite resentful in his heart, and he was taught a lesson by Xiao Yuanqing at this time. The second grandfather, who has always looked at himself unpleasantly, also taught himself a lesson, and became angry at the moment, "You are ruthless and unjust, don't pull me!" ”

"You ......"

Xiao Mad's second grandfather, the one who is in the second. The old man, who was a powerful man, was furious.

Xiao Madness ignored it. He glanced at everyone angrily and left the villa compound.

"Second brother, the matter of the little madman joining the Winter and Summer Party is irrelevant, it's just a little trouble for children."

Xiao Yuanqing saw his younger brother's unhappy expression, and muttered: "Right now, there is no need for us to worry about these little things. The first thing to do now is to organize my father's funeral. At the same time, according to the plan that has been made for a long time, it can be done step by step - although the departure of his father has an impact on the Xiao family, it cannot hurt the foundation of the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Yuanqing's younger brother didn't say anything more when he heard this, while the other members of the Xiao family had a submissive expression on their faces - the Xiao family has stood in the Republic for decades and has not declined, how can it collapse so easily?

……

For the bigwigs standing at the top of the pyramid of power, they went to Villa No. 1 in Xishan as soon as the old lady of the Xiao family died, firstly, to show respect for the old man, to express gratitude for everything the old man has done for the republic, and to a greater extent, to go through the motions.

After the modified minibus drove into the royal garden, several bigwigs got off one after another, said hello, and went to their respective offices.

Qin Hongshan, who was the first to return to the office, didn't have time to take a sip of tea, so he directly took out his private mobile phone and dialed Qin Zheng's phone.

"Dad, have you been to Xishan?" The phone was connected, and Qin Zheng on the other end of the phone was the first to ask.

"Well, just came back." Qin Hongshan replied first, and then made arrangements, "You inform me to hold a family meeting in the courtyard tonight." ”

"Okay."

Qin Zheng hurriedly replied, he knew very well that the departure of the old lady of the Xiao family would cause a series of chain reactions, and some subtle changes would occur in the entire pattern, which was an opportunity for the Qin family to expand its power.

"I heard that Dongxue brought Pei Dong to see you and Ailing yesterday?" After making arrangements, Qin Hongshan changed the topic, frowning slightly.

"Hmm."

Faced with Qin Hongshan's questioning, Qin Zheng didn't dare to hide it, nor did he think about hiding it, so he gave a clear answer very simply, "They came back to have a meal with me and Ailing, and then left." ”

"Ugh."

Qin Hongshan sighed lightly and said, "It seems that Dongxue's girl is determined to follow Pei Dong, and you have also acquiesced to Pei Donglai's son-in-law to a certain extent, right?" ”

"Dad, you know Dongxue's temperament very well, since she is hard-hearted, we can only let her go, we can't really let her leave the Qin family, right?" Qin Zheng's face was complicated.

"Alas, I'm afraid that girl will regret it." Qin Hongshan sighed again, Qin Zheng knew Qin Dongxue, why didn't he understand?

"Dad, what do you mean?" Qin Zheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask.

Qin Hongshan didn't hide it: "I met Pei Donglai in Xishan Villa before, and he went to the villa with Xiao Jiaxiao. But...... The Xiao family did not let him enter the villa to see Old Man Xiao. ”

Well?

Being able to become the most powerful contender at the top of the power pyramid and the third-generation head of the Qin family, Qin Zheng's IQ and EQ are beyond doubt, and he instantly understood Qin Hongshan's intentions. "Do you mean that when the old man of the Xiao family leaves, Pei Donglai will not be able to take a break under the big tree of the Xiao family?"

"Although I don't know why the old man of the Xiao family stood up for him twice, judging from the performance of Xiao Yuanqing and the members of the Xiao family today, this is indeed the case." The scene of Pei Donglai standing at the door of the main building of the villa and bowing came to mind, and Qin Hongshan could basically conclude that Pei Donglai had lost the big backer of the Xiao family.

"Dad, I made a promise to Pei Donglai. No matter what, the Qin family will save his life. Qin Zheng hesitated.

Qin Hongshan raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and gave an ambiguous reply: "Let's talk about this later." It's all about dealing with what's happening first. ”

"I understand."

Qin Zheng also understood that the overall situation should be the focus at the moment, and at the same time, a bad premonition welled up in his heart - if the Ye family really killed Pei Donglai. I'm afraid my father won't protect Pei Donglai.

Like Qin Hongshan, after Ye Shi returned to the office, he did not go to review the documents on the desk as usual, but directly took out his personal mobile phone and dialed Ye Ban's number.

"You don't have to rush back, you can just use the video conference in the evening." The phone was connected, and Ye Shi was the first to speak, and said, "In addition, you inform them that those who are out of town don't need to come back." ”

"Got it, Dad."

Ye Shi's words rang in his ears. Ye Ban did not have any objections, as the third-generation successor of the Ye family, he knew very well that the Ye family had been waiting for this day for a long time, and had made sufficient preparations, so as long as it was implemented according to the formulated plan. There's no need to talk about it with much fanfare.

For a rainy day.

This is what the Ye family has been doing.

"By the way, what did Zhengrong do when he went home?" Ye Shi asked coldly.

Maybe he didn't expect Ye Shi to ask his son who had basically become an abandoned son of the Ye family at this juncture, Ye Ban was somewhat stunned, and after being stunned, he replied truthfully: "Yesterday my mother went to pick him up." But he followed the Red Beijing Society's gang. I went home in the evening and went out again. ”

"You weren't stumped, were you?" Ye Shi asked again.

Ye Ban's heart moved, he vaguely guessed something, he was faintly excited, and hurriedly said: "Listen to his mother, everything is normal after returning home, and it is much calmer than before." ”

"Oh."

Ye Shi was silent for a moment, answered softly, and then hung up the phone.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

The sound of 'beep' sounded in his ears, and Ye Ban looked thoughtful: Didn't the old man completely give up Zhengrong?

……

In the evening, the sunset set on the mountain, the darkness gradually enveloped the earth, and a light lit up, illuminating the huge Yanjing City.

Like many wealthy areas, the Kunyu River valley has a modest occupancy rate, and it is particularly deserted in the evening, with few cars on the roads and only a few villas lit up.

On the balcony of a villa in the rich area, Ye Zhengrong held a military binocular, looked at the road leading to Pei Donglai's villa, and waited for Pei Donglai to drive home.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

Suddenly, the sound of the mobile phone vibrating sounded, Ye Zhengrong frowned slightly, took out the mobile phone to take a look, and found that it was a call from his father Ye Ban, continued to look ahead with a telescope, and at the same time connected the phone, "Dad." ”

"Where are you?"

"Run some errands out there."

"I think you have heard the news of the death of the old man of the Xiao family, this day, we have been waiting for a long time. Just now, your grandfather held a family meeting and made arrangements for this matter. ”

When Ye Ban said this, he paused slightly, his tone was faintly excited, and said, "In addition, your grandfather also talked about you in the meeting. He asked me to tell you that if your career is gone, it doesn't mean that you have nothing, and you can develop in other aspects. As for...... Pei Donglai, he has completely lost the backer of the Xiao family, and when the family finishes dealing with the current major affairs, he will give you this bad breath. ”

"Dad, where I fall, I will get up."

Knowing that Ye Shi had not completely abandoned himself, Ye Zhengrong's face did not have any joy, there was only a coldness that made people's hearts palpitate.

Ye Ban was stunned.

"Dad, I still have something to do, hang up first."

The Mercedes-Benz S600 driven by Pei Donglai appeared in Ye Zhengrong's sight, Ye Zhengrong didn't wait for Ye Ban to answer, he hung up the phone directly, and said lightly: "Master Leng, he's here." ”

"See, Ye Shao."

In the car on the side of the road in front of him, Leng Wuji changed into a robe, carrying the fake Chengying made in the Qing Dynasty in his hand, staring at the car in front of him, and a terrifying killing intent gradually emerged from his body......
