Chapter 141: See the Old Man Again
Chapter 141: See the Old Man Again
After the meeting ended, I looked at the invitation letter in my hand, and the signature on it was: Groom: Wei Siping, Bride: Xi Xianyue.
"Xi Xianyue, a rare name, what is the origin of this woman?" I asked Wang Na.
"This guy is also a newcomer who has only recently made his mark in the world of antiques, and you haven't heard of it because you haven't been running your family business lately. I heard that she is a mysterious returnee, who only came back at the beginning of the month, and is very proficient in the jade business. I haven't heard of this before, but now it's very hot, and many media want to interview her, but she is very low-key, does not accept any interviews, and does not even have a photo. Wang Na said.
"How did she meet Uncle Wei?" I asked.
Wei Siping, a friend of my parents, said that he was a friend, but in fact he was the kind of businessman, and he hid far away when he was really useful. He made his fortune as an aquatic producer, and to put it bluntly, he is a nouveau riche, but his consciousness is good, and he has become a little more educated after meeting many upper-class people. I also saw him do an interview before, it turned out to be about Chinese culture, God knows, he only has a primary school education, but what he talked about is really good. He is a rare honest man, and now he is mainly engaged in the furniture business, and is doing the business of importing high-end home furnishings, so he has a lot of business dealings with our family. However, Wei Siping's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has delayed his life's events, I have never seen him have a woman, he said himself. The business is too busy, there is no time to fall in love, and he doesn't like to spend time drinking, so he has become a rare diamond king in the circle, and now he is suddenly married, which is a bit unusual.
"There are many theories about this matter, but the most true thing is that Boss Wei auctioned a jade Guanyin at a private auction, but the unscrupulous seller actually dropped the real thing when it was delivered, Boss Wei is not proficient in the way of jade, and this lady Xi helped. Saw through the seller's deception. Helped Boss Wei get the real thing. After this incident, Boss Wei launched a passionate pursuit of Ms. Xi, and Boss Wei, who had never participated in upper-class gatherings before, collected almost all the tickets for upper-class dinner parties in order to meet Ms. Xi. even held a party by himself and finally hugged the beauty. Wang Na said.
"I see. Beauty saves heroes. I sighed. Have you found this Ms. West's information? ”
"Ms. Xi returned from the United States, so there is very little information, in order to take care of Ms. Xi's specific situation. Boss Wei also intends to immigrate to the United States. Wang Na added.
"Immigrate to the United States? Uncle Wei doesn't know English, so he is really carried away by love. I thought about it in my heart, "How is this Ms. Xi's family background?" "I'm a little worried in my heart, this lady is not a person who is greedy for fame and profit.
"Surprisingly, Ms. Xi's net worth is also very considerable, she has an account in a Swiss bank, I have checked, all of it is her personal property, the amount is very considerable, not lost to Boss Wei."
"Well, what day is their wedding?"
"It's the day after tomorrow."
"Help me go to the warehouse of the apartment to get a gift, I remember that there is a jade Ruyi at home, the best Hetian jade, it is also washed in the warehouse, so it is simply used to give it away, and you go with me the day after tomorrow."
"Got it."
"By the way, Yun Ximing said that grandma was going to return to China before, did you inquire? What day the plane. ”
"There has been a little change in the flight in the United States, and Kui Lao's plane has been changed to next week."
"Got it, help me free up time in advance, go to the airport, and pick up grandma."
Wang Na went downstairs to get busy, and I sat in the office on the second floor and thought quietly. Grandma didn't tell me about returning to China, she was going to see Grandpa Yun, what did they have to be so secretive? Although I inherited the Kui Group, my grandmother still did not delegate power to many links in the group, and I don't even know what some departments do. I couldn't see through my grandmother more and more, so I simply explained things clearly this time. In addition, this Xi Xianyue, who was born suddenly, is it sacred, I turned on the computer, Baidu got the name, in just one month, she has been on the hot search list of the Fortune Channel, but there is very little information about her, just like Wang Na said, there is not even a photo of a positive face. I managed to find a few photos of her, and they were all backs, but this back looked very familiar.
The time came in the blink of an eye, and Wang Na and I attended Uncle Wei's wedding together. The wedding was held in a private garden in the center of the city, and I heard that this was Uncle Wei's property, and there were not many people who were invited, but I noticed that all of them were high-class figures, and a few were politicians, including Yuan Ru.
"Minister Yuan, why are you here too?" I asked.
"When I was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before, I had some dealings with Wei Siping, so I met, this time I came to help you, did you see Wang Jin?" Yuan Ru asked.
"Not yet, I haven't seen this Wang Jin, I'm not right."
"That's it, you see." Yuan Ru pointed to a middle-aged lady in a black dress not far away, she looked about thirty-five years old, well-maintained, but she was a little too old-fashioned.
"The taste in dress is very ordinary, why was she invited?"
"Wei Siping's furniture business is a long-term cooperation with their company's logistics, and it belongs to old friends."
"I've heard of this Wangchanglong Logistics Co., Ltd., but why don't I have any impression of Wang Jin."
"No wonder you don't know, this person is not the chairman of their company, he has been doing finance before, he is the company's financial director, and he has only recently been promoted to the position of manager. The chairman of their company is called Ning Shanrong, and this Wang Jin is his daughter-in-law. ”
"Ning Shanrong?! How does this name sound so familiar? "I was wondering where I had seen this name when a waiter came up to me and greeted me politely.
"Hello, are you Miss Kui Yinyin?"
"It's me, what's the matter?"
"That's right. The bride, Ms. Xi Xianyue, invites you to meet in the dressing room. ”
"See me?" I don't know this Xixian Yue, why do you want to see me? "Okay, I'll go over here." I winked at Yuan Ru, Yuan Ru nodded, and I followed the waiter towards the dressing room.
They had a Western-style wedding, no hotel lobby, and the dressing room was in a small European-style building on the edge of the lawn. I pushed the door open and walked in, and saw a man dressed as a bride doing makeup, surrounded by several makeup artists. The room was in a hurry.
"The bride's headdress should be adjusted."
"The bride's makeup is made up again."
"Are all the guests here? Prepare to arrange for the master of ceremonies to determine the wedding time. ”
A middle-aged woman in professional attire is directing everyone's work. The bride sat quietly in the chair, and saw her in the mirror, very delicate, not like a person in her forties.
"My guest is coming. Tell the master of ceremonies. The wedding was postponed by half an hour. I have something to deal with. The bride spoke.
"Got it, the woman's gentleman ......" The middle-aged woman should be a housekeeper, and looked at the bride a little embarrassed.
"Tell Siping. I met an old friend and told him not to rush. The bride's tone was very slow, but very calm, and she looked like a battle-hardened look, and she was not at all as flustered as a newlywed girl.
"Yes, let's all go out and come back in half an hour." The housekeeper gave an order, and all the makeup artists and costume artists all quietly withdrew, looking very qualified.
"Miss Kui, long time no see." The bride turned around, her makeup was very light, but it looked noble and elegant, this face I felt familiar, but it was very blurry.
"You are ......"
"Maybe it's like this, you don't know me well, so in this case, can you think of something?" The bride lifted up her heavy wedding dress and exposed her legs, one of her legs was a prosthetic leg, and my eyes lit up.
"Are you, Jia Xianqing?!" I haven't seen her for about a month or two, but this peasant woman from Shandong has turned into a socialite in high society, and she has married into a wealthy family.
"It's not easy, it's rare that you still remember me, don't you feel surprised, why did I become like this." Jia Xianqing said.
"I'm not surprised to see you now, my secretary said that you are very proficient in the identification of jade, if it is you, it is really not unusual, after all, your ancestors did the court, and it is not uncommon for you to identify antiques in your generation." I say.
"Aren't you going to arrest me? I think you've already investigated my case very clearly. She said.
"The person I want to arrest is Jia Xianqing, but you are Xi Xianyue, you have removed a responsibility from your name, don't you just want to get rid of these responsibilities?"
"It seems that I regard Miss Kui as a friend, there is really nothing wrong with it, in the past two months I went incognito, went to the United States, became a seller, became a rich person, changed my identity, and finally got rid of the nightmare. I want to start over in my life, and I want to have a good marriage. When Jia Xianqing said this, she lowered her head, like a shy girl when she mentioned her lover.
"Uncle Wei, he is a good person, and he deserves your life."
"I know, that's why I chose to meet you before the wedding, and if you convict me, I don't want to drag Siping down. I removed one of the responsibilities in my name, in order to get rid of the responsibilities of the descendants of the Jia family, I sold the tablet of my ancestors to get my current status, and I have long since lost the face to be the descendant of the Jia family. Jia Xianqing said.
"Old man Jia, if there is a spirit in the sky, he will forgive you, by the way, Jia ...... Aunt Xi, there is one thing, I want to confirm with you at the end, the weird ancient tomb of the Jia family, haven't you and Grandpa Jia ever entered it? I asked.
"No, Uncle knows the entrance to the ancient tomb, but he has never entered it, so I dare not go in. However, Nurse Jiang, who lived in the village before, seemed to be particularly interested in our family's ancient tombs, and she often came to take care of my uncle on a voluntary basis, and also heard a lot about our ancestors, but about half a year before the accident, Nurse Jiang went to work elsewhere, so she broke off contact. ”
"Nurse Jiang?! Her surname is Jiang?! (To be continued......)
