Sullivan sent the old lady to the embroidery workshop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Seeing Su Liwen, Bai Feng hurriedly tidied up his clothes and pursed his red lips at the small mirror on the counter.
She shook her step by step and greeted her with a smile, "Why did you send the old lady back?" β
Sullivan turned a blind eye to Baifeng's enthusiasm, and helped the old lady up the steps and across the threshold, keeping an eye on the old lady's feet, as if she was afraid that she would fall.
Following his gaze, Baifeng noticed that the old lady's legs and feet didn't seem to be as sharp as when she ran out.
She hurriedly walked around to the other side, helped the old lady with Sullivan, and asked with concern, "What's going on?" β
Sullivan didn't know the old lady, but it seemed that Baifeng obviously knew the old lady. Thinking of the scene when the old lady was almost knocked over just now, he couldn't help but blame Baifeng: "There are so many people in the embroidery workshop, the old lady goes out, and she doesn't say let one follow." β
Baifeng's intuition was keen, and he thought that something must have happened.
She didn't show a clue, put on an innocent face, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" β
"The old lady was almost knocked over." Sullivan said.
Baifeng broke out and said fiercely: "Which one didn't hit our old lady with long eyes?!" β
Seeing that she was judging the two of them, Sullivan was stunned. He fixed his eyes and saw Bai Feng's weak appearance of distressed old lady, as if the scene of her fierce spirit just now was just an illusion.
"I'm fine," the old lady remembered Sullivan's kindness, "and thanks to this young man helping me, I didn't fall." β
"Mr. Su," Baifeng's eyes were happy and timid, and he bowed his head slightly, fully interpreting "the most gentle thing is the gentleness of the bowed head, just like the shyness of a water lotus flower", "Thank you." β
The old lady wanted to express her gratitude to Sullivan, but she was afraid that she would delay someone's business, so she said to Sullivan: "Young man, I've arrived, you should have an appointment with someone, don't let people wait." β
The old lady bumped into Sullivan at the door of Rong Kee Restaurant, thinking that this young man should have gone there to eat, and seeing that the other party was carrying a briefcase in his hand, he should have gone to Rong Kee Restaurant to meet people.
As soon as he heard that Sullivan had an appointment with someone, Baifeng's heart was sour, and then when he saw Sullivan's human-like dress, his heart was even more angry, and he immediately couldn't hold his breath.
"Have a date?" Baifeng's voice was a little sharp and harsh, and it sounded a little sour, "Who do you have an appointment with?" β
She wants to see which little hoof dares to rob her of a man!
Sullivan was very honest and said the purpose of his trip to Rong Kee Restaurant, "The people of the Ye family asked me to go to Rong Kee to talk about something. β
When he heard that it was a business matter, Baifeng's face softened, but when he talked about the Ye family, he was still a little angry. "The Ye family must want to compensate you for the matter, and you must have a hard attitude in front of the Ye family's people later. It was they who attacked us first, and they compensated us for our losses, which is a matter of course. They can't give any less of this compensation! β
From the conversation between the two of them, the old lady heard some clues, "Is it the Ye family who has a marriage contract with the Rong family?" β
With the relationship between Fuji Yantang and Rong Ying, it is not surprising that the old lady Fuji knows some things about the Rong family. What's more, the fact that the Rong and Ye families have a marriage contract is not a secret in Shanghai.
But the old lady felt strange - at this moment, if the people of the Ye family were in the Rong Ji Restaurant, and the grandmother of the Rong family was also there, would it be a coincidence that the people of these two families appeared in the same place at the same time?
When the people of the Ye family asked Su Liwen to talk about things, and the grandmother of the Rong family was also present, then the Ye family's thoughts were worth playing. The Ye family probably wants to use the power of the Rong family to suppress the Splendid Cloth Store and the Embroidery Workshop.
The old lady had a worried look on her face, and she tightened Su Livan's hand, "It was the grandmother of the Rong family and a young girl who hit me just now. I don't know that little girl, but the grandmother of the Rong familyβI think she might be going to support the Ye family......"
"Probably not." Bai Feng was a little disapproving, "Didn't Master Rong say that he wanted to break the marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Ye family." It should be unlikely that the Ye family wants to rely on the forces of the Rong family. β
The old lady shook her hand lightly and said, "Ah Martingale wants to dissolve the marriage?" It's not that easy. The marriage contract between the two families was made when the old lady of the Rong family was alive, and Ah Marting's grandfather had not yet been born at that time. β
Sullivan and Baifeng are both a little blind, since the elders of the two families have not yet been born when they make the marriage contract...... So how did this marriage contract connect Rong Ying and Ye Yalin together? Listening to the old lady's careful explanation, the two of them understood the reason.
"It's a bit of a legend. The Rong and Ye families are both ancient families of our Chinese family, and their ancestors are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, and the two families are also world friends. The old lady squinted her eyes and pinched her hands to calculate the time, "About seventy or eighty years ago, the old ladies of the two families were still young, the two were close friends, they got married in the same year, and they also set a doll marriage, but the two families were boys, and this marriage contract continued to the next generation, until the generation of Martingale's father, the two families were still boys, and they still failed to get married." The Rong family has been passed down for several generations, all of them are boys, and the Ye family is also a prosperous man, and the marriage contract has been extended. Finally came to your generation, the Ye family produced a girl who could match the only son of the Rong family, and the two families gave the relationship between the two. If it weren't for the Ye family's daughter going abroad for further study a few years ago, I'm afraid she would already be the rightful Mrs. Rong. β
"Oh~" A voice suddenly realized next to him, "It turns out that the Rong and Ye families still have such a story." β
Sullivan, who listened with relish, looked up and saw Vanilla's body half-lying on the handrail of the stairs, her arm propped on the handrail, and her chin touched with one hand thoughtfully.
Who is Baifeng, he has long noticed that the coriander has come down from the stairs.
As soon as the old lady saw the coriander, she immediately left Sullivan and Baifeng, went over to be next to her granddaughter-in-law, gently patted the back of her hand on the armrest, and chattered: "Granddaughter-in-law, Ah Yang is Yantang's eldest brother, that is your eldest brother, if your eldest brother Rong is in trouble in the future, you can help more." β
Coriander did not ignore the strange look that flashed in the old lady's eyes as she said this. That look contains too many mixed emotions, including gratitude and regret.
But why does the old lady have such emotions towards Rong Ying?
Cilantro didn't pursue it, because she could see that the old lady was trying her best to hide this emotion, and she knew that even if she asked, she couldn't ask why.
Coriander bowed to Sullivan, "You go, if it's really as my grandmother said, the old lady of the Rong family wants to support the Ye family, then you don't have to be polite, what should I do." β
Sullivan nodded, took the briefcase and left, turned his eyes slightly sideways, and looked at the old lady standing with coriander at the top of the stairs, and quickly withdrew his gaze, taking away the contemplation in his eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Feng was suspicious, and took two steps to the place where Sullivan had turned and paused just now, looked at Sullivan's back as he walked away, and followed the direction he had just cast his gaze, and saw the old lady talking and laughing with coriander.
A flame burst out of Baifeng's heart, and her angry eyes stared at the coriander, as if she hated the little / three who robbed her husband.
It was not surprising that she could have such a misunderstanding - Sullivan was a young and handsome man, and he would never set his sights on an old and decrepit old lady! She didn't believe Sullivan had such a strange hobby.
Sensing the hostility from Baifeng, Coriander felt inexplicable for a while.
It didn't take long for the guys at Rong Kee Restaurant to deliver the same meals, filling the pantry of the embroidery workshop.
Coriander was about to take the old lady to wash her hands, when she saw the grandmother of the Rong family coming over accompanied by Ye Yalin.
Ye Yalin smelled the aroma of the food, and saw a few familiar guys shuttling between the pantry, and through a beaded curtain, she could vaguely see the delicious food on the table inside, and her face was obviously annoyed.
Rong Ji Restaurant is the property of the Rong family, and these guys of Rong Ji do not first pay attention to the dishes ordered by the Rong family's grandmother and her, the future young lady of the Rong family, but are so attentive to people with foreign surnames, are they blind or pretend not to know.
Wait! When she sat in the position of the young lady of the Rong family, she dismissed them one by one!
Sensing that she was neglected by Rong Ji Restaurant, the grandmother was also very unhappy, but she did not show her emotions too obviously like Ye Yalin.
"Old lady." The grandmother called out to the old lady with a pleasant face.
The old lady's heart immediately became vigilant. She didn't meet the grandmother of the Rong family many times, and in her impression, every time she met, the grandmother either put on a cold posture or despised everything, and never showed her a good face like now.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
"Old Madam Gu."
Hearing the old lady's address to her, the grandmother's face changed slightly.
The grandmother's husband's surname is Gu, and it is not an exaggeration for Mrs. Teng to call her "Mrs. Gu". The grandmother of the Ke tribe has always had a high price and looks down on her husband's family. Her husband joined the Rong family, and the Gu family still climbed her high branch to achieve today's glory. She has never liked people to call her "Mrs. Gu", and thinks this title is too cheap.
The old lady of the Fuji family felt that there was nothing wrong with calling her like this, and aside from the identity of the grandmother, she knew that the grandmother didn't like this title so she deliberately called her so.
Just like the clan grandmother doesn't like people to call her "Mrs. Gu", she doesn't like to call her "old lady" from the clan grandmother.
Some people call her "old lady" out of respect and affection for her, but when the Hui grandmother calls her "old lady" in an implicit contempt and mocking tone, she is uncomfortable.
"Old lady, your granddaughter-in-law is really filial to you, and she ordered so many dishes for you." The grandmother knew that the old lady had ordered the dishes herself, but she gave the "credit" to coriander. These insincere words are really intriguing. She also pretended to show a warm look, "You still want to eat something, just tell me, I'll go to Rongji and ask someone to make it for you right away." β
"Don't bother the old lady." The old lady pulled her young and beautiful granddaughter-in-law, and threw a smug look at the grandmother as if showing off, "The two of you go shopping casually, we won't accompany you." β
The grandmother's expression froze for a moment, but she still maintained a smiling face, and said kindly: "Old lady, let's talk to your granddaughter-in-law about something." β
"What's the matter, you hurry up and say, I and my granddaughter-in-law still have to eat. The food is cold, but it doesn't taste good. The old lady didn't mean to invite the clan grandmother to eat at the same table with Ye Yalin, but urged them to have something to say quickly.
The grandmother's face was ugly again.
Coriander silently gave several praises to her old lady on the side.
The old lady is out of the horse, a top two, it's too powerful!
ββ¦β¦ I want to ask Shopkeeper Lin if he can be exempted from compensation. "It turns out that the grandmother came to the door to be a lobbyist for the Ye family." Of course, there is something wrong with what the Ye family is doing, and when it comes to business, there can't be a little friction between peers. Be a man and leave a line, see each other in the future, and there will be many places to cooperate in the future. What's more, Arlinn's face will become like this, and Shopkeeper Lin has some unshirkable responsibilities. Everyone has dealings, shopkeeper Lin, can you see if you can write it off? β
"First, the Ye family is unkind and unrighteous first, so don't blame me for being ruthless. I have always had my own principles in doing things - if anyone respects me, I will return it. If I endure half a step beyond my thunder pool, I will let the other party pay for it a hundred times. Coriander ignored the faces of Grandma and Ye Yalin, and continued to speak. Second, I never had any intention of cooperating with the Ye family. Not before, not now, and not in the future. Third, Ye Yalin's face is like this, she made it herself, and it has nothing to do with me at all. Even if she has the slightest relationship with me, in my eyes, her face is not worth that much money at all. β
Ye Yalin was angry, pointed at the nose of the coriander and screamed, "What did you say!" If you have the ability, you can tell me again! β
If it weren't for the clan grandmother secretly dragging her, I was afraid that she would rush to the coriander at this time and slap the coriander a few times.
Coriander sneered, disdainful of arguing with Ye Yalin. There's no need to learn how to bark like this kind of person.
"Ms. Rong, I advise you, you had better leave the Ye family's affairs alone. They will rely on you when the time comes. Coriander said to the grandmother, "There are some things that haven't spread yet, so I'll give you a breeze first." The two shops of my Splendid Cloth Shop and Chu Embroidery Workshop pay more taxes in a month than all the taxes paid by the Ye family in all the places they operate together. Do you know what that means? I'm not showing you how much money my store makes in a month, no matter how much my two stores make, it can't be more than the Ye family. β
In the business field, the grandmother doesn't know a lot. But with simple addition and subtraction, she can still figure it out. Although they are peers, compared with the Ye family's livelihood, the Splendid Cloth Store and the Chu Embroidery Workshop can only be regarded as small doors, how can the profit of one month exceed the profit of all the industries of the Ye family! However, the taxes paid by the Ye family in a month are not as much as the taxes paid by the two stores under the name of coriander. She could only think of one reason.
The Ye family has evaded taxes!
The lax collection and management of the state government, coupled with the fact that such phenomena are now common, so tax evasion is not a major crime that leads to death, but people are greedy/greedy, especially the greed/greed of high-ranking officials at the top of the government is even more than ordinary people.
This time, the government faced up to the problem of collection and management, and took the Ye family as a knife, hoping to play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, and sounding a wake-up call for business people like the Ye family. The more they tax, the more their pockets will bulge.
Second, the Ye family has evaded taxes and evaded taxes for so many years, and after taking back all the things that the Ye family "owes" in the past, isn't the pockets of high-ranking officials in the government bulging a little?
Coriander then told the grandmother, "Now that the tax audit and other important officials from other relevant departments have gone to the Ye family to check the accounts, I believe there will be results soon." You can go back and tell the people of the Ye family, instead of dwelling with me about this small amount of compensation, you should think about how to prepare for the next amount of earth-shattering fines. Oh, I'm afraid the people of the Ye family have already figured out a way-"
She looked at Ye Yalin and said meaningfully: "If the daughter of their Ye family marries into the Rong family, she will still be worried about filling this hole." β
Hearing this, the clan grandmother looked at Ye Yalin with strange eyes, and pushed her away like an electric shock.
Ye Yalin looked at the clan grandmother in disbelief and panic, "Clan grandmother, don't listen to her nonsense!" β
Now the Ye family is a hot potato, whoever picks up the hot hand.
"No wonder, no wonderβ" The clan grandmother woke up like a dream, as if she had seen through a shocking conspiracy, "No wonder your father urged me to quickly set the day for you and Ah Marting, it turns out that your father has this mind, and he has to pull our Rong family to jump together in the pit he dug himself, so vicious thoughts!" β
"Grandma ......" Ye Yalin also knew that she was "sold" to the Rong family by Ye Yipin as a bargaining chip, even if her self-esteem was hit because of this, but when she thought that she could become a young lady of the Rong family, the contradictions and entanglements in her heart were quickly relieved.
The grandmother turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, "Don't call me!" Go back and tell your father, you want to beat my Rong family, no way! Let him fill the hole in your house, and come to me again to discuss your marriage to Martingale!" β
The grandmother really didn't have the face to stay in the embroidery workshop, so she left Ye Yalin and left quickly.
Ye Yalin looked at the ruthless back of the clan grandmother in despair, and her heart burned with hatred.
It's all to blame for the surname Lin for ruining her good deeds!
Ye Yalin glared at the coriander angrily, as if she was going to cut her with a thousand knives.
If gaze could kill, coriander would have been brutally killed by many people several times. She has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and she will still be afraid of Ye Yalin's murderous sight?
Coriander raised her eyebrows relaxedly, and then ignored her.
She helped the old lady vine, "Grandma, let's go, let's wash our hands and eat." β
No matter how much Ye Yalin shook her eyes in front of coriander, she was just boring herself. Although this time the coriander spoiled her good deeds, it also helped her to some extent.
Rong Ying had already said that he was going to break the marriage contract with her - Ye Yalin hadn't told her family about it, and she really couldn't open her mouth before, but this time she had a good reason, that is, to put all the blame on coriander.
It is a fact that Coriander is talking nonsense and insulting her in front of the old lady Teng, and the Ye family can take advantage of this, saying that it is coriander to influence the attitude of the Le Rong family towards the Ye family.
Now that the Ye family is in trouble, the Rong family does not help, and even falls into the ground. She can also give the Rong family a "treacherous" infamy.
Ye Yalin left the embroidery workshop with the plan in her heart.
Coriander and the old lady can finally have a lunch meal in peace.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Fujihiko Hall came.
As soon as he saw that most of the food on the table was greasy, he couldn't help but reproach the coriander:
"Grandma is not in good health and can't eat these greasy, heavy-tasting things."
The old lady rushed to speak: "I ordered these meals for my granddaughter-in-law, you see that there is no meat on her thin waist and buttocks, giving birth like this will definitely hurt her body in the future." I should make up for her. β
Fujihiko Tang looked at Coriander's flat chest, nodded in agreement, and said, "It's time to make up." β
If you eat too much of something with a heavy taste, you will be thirsty easily.
Coriander carried the empty teapot on the table, got up and said, "Yantang, you and grandma eat first, and I'll make some honey water." β
As soon as she left, Fujihiko Tang blamed the old lady, "Grandma, why did you run out with coriander?" β
The old lady's eyes widened, and she found that her grandson was a little unreasonable, "What if your daughter-in-law is abducted outside, you are too busy to take care of it, grandma, I can't help you watch it." β
Fujihiko was helpless. Not to mention that coriander is powerful, and now he is the leader of the big alliance, in this huge Shanghai market, who dares to kidnap his second master's daughter-in-law?
Old lady Teng thought of the matter of the Rong and Ye families, and couldn't help but show a worried look. She pressed the back of Fuji Yantang's hand and said, "Yantang, I met your eldest brother's grandmother today, what's the matter, isn't your eldest brother's marriage with Miss Ye family not going well?" β
The curvature of Fujihikodo's lips decreased a little, "My eldest brother wants to regret this family business, but the clan grandmother attaches great importance to it. β
The old lady nodded and agreed: "That is, after all, this marriage has been continued for several generations, and it is unlikely that a big family like the Rong family and the Ye family that pay attention to inheritance will easily dissolve this family business." She suddenly realized something, and said, "Listen to what you mean, your eldest brother doesn't like the girl of the Ye family, if your eldest brother really doesn't like it, then you have to help him withdraw this marriage and find him a girl he likes......"
The old lady noticed that the smile on her grandson's face was fading away.
"Grandma, I can help with the divorce, but just find him a girl he likes, I'm afraid I can't do it. Because what he likes is ......" Fujihikodo's gloomy and pained gaze fell on where Cilantro had sit.
The old lady is an understanding person, and she can see some clues from her grandson's sad eyes.
Knowing that Rong Ying and her grandson liked the same woman, she was a little at a loss, and moved the chair where Coriander was sitting closer in a hurry, as if silently announcing her possession of Coriander - her granddaughter-in-law is hers, and no one can snatch it away!
"Then ......" The old lady was a little confused, her eyes hesitated on the approaching ladder for a long time, and then fixed on her grandson's handsome face that could not see her emotions, "Then does she know?" β
Fujihiko said in a low voice, "I know." β
The old lady seemed even more upset.
Seeing this, Fuji Yantang smiled and quipped: "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about." β
How could the old lady not see that her grandson was pretending to be relaxed in front of her, patted the back of his hand and comforted him in turn: "Don't worry, grandma will follow coriander to work every day in the future, rain or shine, and take care of people for you!" β
Fujihiko couldn't help but laugh and wanted to ask, did you do this to reassure your grandchildren, or did you want to put yourself at ease......
The appearance of their old lady as a thief is really hateful. (To be continued.) )
