Chapter 55
Zhao Baiyun has never seen such a Zhao Qinghan, beautiful and elegant, lazy and noble, such a Zhao Qinghan makes his heart move, so that his eyes can't leave her for even a second. Although she is in this world, she seems to be able to leave at any time, ethereal and empty, such Zhao Qinghan makes Zhao Baiyun frightened, so that he does not dare to relax her in the slightest. Because he was afraid, he was afraid that maybe Zhao Qinghan would disappear into this world in an instant when he turned around, going to a place he didn't know and couldn't go.
Zhao Baiyun held Zhao Qinghan tightly and didn't let her leave his sight.
Below, Zhao Jingshao was still giving a speech to the guests, and Zhao Baiyun had already taken Zhao Qinghan downstairs. I think Zhao Jingshao's speech is almost over, Zhao Qinghan thought.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Qinghan's thoughts fell, Zhao Jingshao's relieved and proud voice came from there, "Next, I will invite my pair of children, Zhao Qinghan and Zhao Baiyun." They are still young, and I hope you can bear with these two juniors. ”
When Zhao Jingshao's words fell, there were all kinds of compliments from the audience, such as "Where is it, the head of the Zhao family is too humble"; "Ling Ai and Ling Gongzi will have more contact with us in the future"; "It's all about juniors, how can we, as elders, be embarrassed to reach out and take care of it?"
Zhao Qinghan and Zhao Baiyun appeared in everyone's sight with such a voice. The two of them stood beside Zhao Jingshao neither humbly nor arrogantly, accepting the gaze from everyone in the audience, either picky or satisfied or not caring, all kinds of things.
Xu Shao came to the banquet with his father and second uncle today, and his grandfather originally wanted to come and see it, but the Zhao family did not give an invitation to his grandfather, or the Zhao family was unwilling to invite his grandfather, so his grandfather could not come tonight. And I don't know what Qinghan said, so he hooked his old man to come to the banquet, but in the end he was coaxed by Zhao Qinghan and didn't come to participate.
I remember that Xu Shao was still happy when he first received the invitation, but Xu Shao was worried after knowing that his grandfather did not receive the invitation. In his heart, Qinghan has always been a thoughtful girl, and the Zhao family is not stupid, how could he not send an invitation to his grandfather. Xu Shao rushed back to the compound from his parents overnight, thinking that he would face his grandfather's anger or dislike. Xu Shao has considered all kinds of bad results in his mind, and he has also rehearsed the solutions. But what Xu Shao never expected was that when he went home, his grandfather was not angry, but was in a good mood.
Xu Shao muttered in his heart, probably because his grandfather didn't know the reason why the Zhao family didn't give him an invitation. At dinner in the evening, Xu Shao was worried and didn't know how to appease his grandfather's anger.
"Ah Shao, you have to take a good look at the banquet of the Zhao family tomorrow night." The old man spoke first, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
Xu Shao held the hand of the chopsticks for a moment, grandpa is this really telling him to lose his temper and let himself give the Zhao family a good look tomorrow? It's just that he doesn't want to destroy Qinghan's banquet, which will cut a rift between him and Qinghan, which is difficult to repair. Xu Shao, who didn't know what his grandfather meant, had to follow the old man's words, "I know, grandpa." ”
The old man rolled his eyes obviously, and then his tone was as calm as ever, "What do you know?" What are you going to do at the Zhao family banquet or nothing? The old man seemed to reprimand Xu Shao, but in fact, he looked at the descendants of the Xu family sitting at the dinner table, and then said: "You remember, it's best not to touch the Zhao family's scales." If you want to contact the Zhao family, there is only one attitude you have to hold, and that is to make friends. You must not have a bad relationship with the Zhao family, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the old man didn't elaborate. But everyone here is not a fool, and they all understand what the old man means. It's just clear that the people of Xu Shao's father's generation are used to obeying the old man, and whatever the old man says is what he says, and he has never made a mistake for many years. Since it was ordered by the old man, then just listen to it.
But people of Xu Shao's generation were a little unimpressed. In their eyes, they are the red-topped family, and their power is monstrous in the entire Z country, and there are few people who don't buy their accounts. As soon as they were born, they were complimented and polite, and now there is a person who needs them to be polite and complimentary, and I want to know that the taste in their hearts must be uncomfortable. Xu Wan is the most of them. The reason, of course, is not convinced.
Who is Xu Wan? Xu Wan is Xu Shao's cousin, the daughter of his second uncle, and the entire Xu family is such a girl, it can be said that she is pampered. She took a gentle name, but the character of this master was very different from her name. Smoking, drinking, clubbing, ****, drag racing, fighting, making trouble, Xu Wan has done such things since he was a child, and everyone in the compound knows about it.
This little princess is a frequent visitor to various bars in City B. Xu Wan is not gentle at all, it can be said that Xu Wan and Zhao Qinghan had similar reputations before, but they are the little princesses of the heavenly family, and those who know the identity of the other party have to smile and compensate this lord even if they suffer at Xu Wan's hands. So things didn't make a big fuss, because she had the Xu family as the backing, and her mother who pampered her to wipe her ass, so Xu Wan's reputation was a little better than Zhao Qinghan's.
But all the people in the circle who should know the character of this little princess know, and the people outside the circle have long heard of Xu Wan's name and style, except for people with other plans, most of them avoid this ancestor. Those second generations are willing to go crazy with this little princess, but they are unwilling to marry her, after all, no one wants their daughter-in-law to be such a restless master.
Compared with Xu Wan, although Zhao Qinghan has a bad reputation, he does not do too much. Although the Zhao family will also help wipe Zhao Qinghan's buttocks, the final consequences are still borne by Zhao Qinghan himself. So although Zhao Qinghan's reputation is not good, there are still many people who appreciate her. And everyone in the circle knows that although the little princess of the Zhao family is messy, she is a girl with a bottom line and will not mess around. So compared with the two, Zhao Qinghan is completely better than Xu Wan. Not to mention that since Zhao Qinghan changed his core, he has never gone out to play crazy, and there have been no bad rumors.
"What?! Grandpa, don't forget, the Zhao family didn't send you an invitation, it's so bold!! Xu Wan spoke up, seemingly angry at the old man, but in fact, he was smearing the Zhao family in front of the Xu family. Objective? Of course, Zhao Qinghan is not convinced!
In Xu Wan's opinion, she and Zhao Qinghan are the same. It's all fun too, why does her Zhao Qinghan's reputation be better than his Xu Wan?! Someone also wiped her buttocks, why did she Zhao Qinghan get punished in the end but still have a good reputation?! And she Xu Wan was obviously removed from everything, but she was despised and disdained by everyone?! What did those sons and brothers say about her Xu Wan, would she not know? She is the little princess of the Xu family, what is there she doesn't know, do you think she won't know if she says behind her back?! Hum!! Those people say that she is not good, forget it, why should she compare her, the little princess of the heavenly family, with the daughter of a merchant? What qualifications does that Zhao Qinghan have?! The most infuriating thing is that her Xu Wan's reputation is actually inferior to that Zhao Qinghan, who is inferior to her in everything?!
Xu Wan's mother Liu gave her daughter an eye knife, when did she say that it was not good, but at this time she was on the muzzle of the old man's gun? ! What should you do if the old man is in a bad mood and has a seizure?! When Xu Wan received Liu's eyes, he stopped talking, and obediently shoeed the rice in the bowl, but he didn't think so. Don't say that she is the only girl in the Xu family, let's just say that she is also the only girl in her grandfather's family, doesn't the Xu family still have her grandfather's family if she doesn't make the decision for her? And grandpa doesn't hurt her at all, her grandfather has always helped her when she has an accident, grandpa is angry when he's angry, and she doesn't want to eat here.
The old man glanced at Xu Wan with an unchanged expression, and glanced at Liu beside Xu Wan by the way, and did not continue to speak, but just opened his mouth and ordered: "Second brother, come to my study after eating." I heard that your team impeached you, so you can explain it to me. The old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left.
Xu Shao's second uncle also quickly finished the food in the bowl, and then followed the old man to the study. As for the shocked Liu and Xu Wan, who obviously didn't understand anything, everyone at the table didn't care much, and they ate in silence.
"Father." The second child of the Xu family stood on his old man's face in a regular manner, bearing the anger from the old man.
"Dick, what do you mean?!" The old man suppressed the anger in his heart, and he gave his son a chance to explain.
"Father, it's time for the Liu family to fall." The second child of the Xu family was not ambiguous, and only said such a sentence.
After hearing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction, but then frowned, and said with some disapproval, "I know that the Liu family should fall." But it is too risky for you to do this, and when the Liu family falls, you will not be able to escape either. ”
"Father, it's okay. As long as the Liu family can fall, sacrificing me is nothing. The second child of the Xu family opened his mouth without moving, and there was no unwillingness and trepidation in his words that he would lose himself, only indomitable firmness and fearlessness.
The old man looked at his son with a firm expression, sighed helplessly, and then took out a jade pendant from his body, which was the jade pendant that the old man had brought with him all year round. The old man took out the jade pendant, and a pair of rough hands grinded on the jade pendant, and finally put the jade pendant into the hands of the second child of the Xu family with a firm expression.
Looking at the second child of the Xu family with a shocked face, the old man sighed, "Alas, I'm already old." I don't know if I can keep you, but I know that the only one who can keep you is the Zhao family. You take this jade pendant and follow Ashao to the Zhao family's banquet tomorrow night. Then give this piece of jade pendant to Zhao Jingshao, the head of the Zhao family, and he will tell you what to do. The old man looked at Yu Pei with complicated eyes, and then looked at his son standing in front of him, "Guorong, the Xu family has reached the top of its glory, and the next thing the Xu family will face is decay." The only one who can protect you and the Xu family is the Zhao family. Only if the Zhao family is willing to make a move, then the Xu family will rise again in their current status. It's just that you may end up sacrificing your wife and daughter. ”
Guorong is the name of the second child of the Xu family, and the shock in Xu Guorong's heart after hearing the old man's words cannot be described in words, but in the end, Xu Guorong didn't care, "Old man, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, Xu Wan is not my daughter." I can't have children at all, Xu Wan is the seed of the Liu family and the Wang family! I don't care about these two people at all, if it weren't for the evidence of the Liu family, I would never have put up with that woman and that wild seed. ”
