One hundred and nine chapters
The north wind at night is very cold, the sky is very gloomy, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and this kind of weather is not suitable for going out. Qiu Huai stopped at the door for a moment, took out his mobile phone again, carefully looked at the time and place marked on the screen, and then pressed the delete button to make sure that there would be no evidence left, so he wrapped his windbreaker tightly and walked out.
This is a very ordinary residential community, although tonight's weather is not very ideal, and there is no bright city night scene to watch, Qiu Huai still reluctantly entered a small shop facing the street outside the community.
This kind of weather is especially at night, and business is naturally not very good, and a middle-aged man in his forties is napping on the cash register.
Qiu Huai's high heels deliberately tapped on the floor tiles at the door, and the man was startled and quickly looked up, "You... What for? ”。
"Looking for your boss..."Qiu Huai glanced twice in the store, and found that although the small shop was not big, there was a door in the northeast corner of the store, saying that there was a room in the yin.
"I'm the boss, girl... What's the matter with me? The middle-aged man asked again.
"Find your boss!" Qiu Huai snorted disdainfully, "Let him come out to see me within half a minute, otherwise... The old lady will not be accompanied! ”。
The middle-aged man looked Qiu Huai up and down, left and right, and seemed to see that the delicate and extraordinary woman in front of him was extraordinary. So he quickly went straight from the cash register to the door inside, and ten seconds later he came back and made a 'please inside' gesture to Qiu Huai, "You please...".
Qiu Huai turned around very elegantly and gave the middle-aged man a soft smile, and then moved into the door.
There is not much space inside, which should be a temporary resting place for the owner, and there is a very delicate tea table in the center of the room. There were already two people sitting at the tea table, an old man who was over the age of ten was a stranger, and the other Sven man in his thirties was her old acquaintance, not only had a good relationship but also had a good relationship.
"Sister Qiu Huai..."The Sven man saw Qiu Huai coming in and immediately greeted her and hugged her shoulder, "Sister is really getting more and more beautiful, very 'big sister' demeanor...".
Qiu Huai unceremoniously brushed away the hand he had on his shoulder, then looked at the old man and asked, "This is...".
Although the old man is already in the old age of gray hair, he is very energetic. Especially the face that is very similar to the young master Lan Zipeng back then, even if you guess blindly, you can guess eight or nine.
Sven didn't answer, but smiled and asked, "Who does my sister think he should be?" ”。
Qiu Huai also smiled, "Although I haven't seen Lan Zipeng himself, I know what he looks like, if it is Yi Gerong or the whole Rong deliberately made it... I'm afraid I can't hide it from the Lan family! So, you have to at least make sure that this old gentleman's bloodline is authentic...".
The old man's majestic gaze swept over Qiu Huai's face twice, and then said, "This Miss Qiu doesn't have to worry at all, what kind of identity I am is clearly written in the Lan clan genealogy, although Lan Zipeng is dead, there is still a Lan Ziqian alive, and I will let you see the result when the time comes...".
"Good!" Qiu Huai's soft eyes flashed, "In order to help you, I put myself on the cusp!" I hope you don't let me down...".
Sven's hand was on Qiu Huai's shoulder again, and he laughed, "We have been in a relationship for so many years, why can't you trust me, sister?" As long as you help me get what I want, I will make my sister's wish come true! ”。
"All wishes come true?" Qiu Huai removed his hand again and asked, "It seems that Master Hong knows what I want?" ”。
The Sven man smiled without even thinking about it, "Women! What you want is nothing more than endless glory and wealth, and endless money, I can give you all of these! ”。
Qiu Huai gave him a very charming smile, and asked, "You really know me, but if... What do I want more? ”。
"No problem, I'll give it to you too...", the Sven man laughed again in a self-righteous and unorthodox manner.
The old man looked at them and asked with a calm face, "Are you sure that the eldest young master of the Lan family... Is it really dead? He is a 'god' in the eyes of the Lan clan, is it really that easy to die? ”。
"I can't say for sure if he's dead or not, because I haven't seen the body with my own eyes!" Qiu Huai replied, "The high-level leaders of the Lan family have been secretive about this matter, and there is also a saying that the eldest young master of the Lan family has gone out to travel all over the world...".
The Sven man laughed when he heard this, "He went to travel all over the world? He is still pretending to be a high-ranking monk, does he have so much leisure? He didn't show up at the Lan family's once-in-a-decade ancestor worship celebration, and I think it's probably because he was afraid that the Lan clan would have internal strife and struggle for power, so he deliberately released such news to stabilize the situation, right? ”。
"If Hong Ye thinks so, maybe... That's right! Qiu Huai's face smiled uncertainly, and then agreed with this speculation, "Otherwise, Zhang Yinrui and the Rose King would not have disappeared one after another...".
"Missing?" The old man asked in surprise, "They are all the top existing figures of the Lan family, and they have disappeared one after another... Was it an accident, or was it something like that? ”。
Qiu Huai hesitated for a moment before replying, "It is said that it is... The eldest lady of the Leng family was pregnant when she left the 'Rose Garden', and they were looking for news of Lan Tianxing's widow. Although this matter has been suppressed to avoid being mentioned, the Rose King has personally gone out to find clues, if Lan Tianxing is still alive, why should they spare so much effort? ”。
"That makes sense..."The old man nodded and asked again, "Two days later, it will be the big day of the Lan family's ancestor worship once every ten years, and we will take this opportunity to turn the tables." Now the Lan family is only left with a wave barely holding up the scene, and my chances of winning should be very good! ”。
"Not necessarily, right?" Qiu Huai reminded, "There is also a Zhang Zhihuan, although his father is not here for the time being, and their Zhang family is not so easy to mess with!" Moreover, Lan Ming's 'Mingyue' brand has been Lan's economic support over the years, if you want to seize power... It's better for the two of you to get the support of this Second Master Lan, and the odds of winning are really great...".
"That's right! But here, we have been planning for a long time! The old man stood up with a smile and boasted, "Miss Qiu is not only beautiful but also so good at planning, it seems that we will cooperate very happily..."
Cooperate? Qiu Huai laughed disdainfully, she was not very interested in such explicit touting, she just smiled very elegantly and did not answer, whether there would be a very pleasant result after the cooperation is still to be discussed.
She just wanted to take advantage of the emptiness inside the Lan clan now, and catch a ghost who threw stones for her to test the depth, because with her understanding and cognition of Lan Tianxing in the past ten years, that 'god'-like man would never die so easily, and his disappearance may have another deeper hidden meaning in addition to an illusion.
So she won't reveal her hole cards so quickly, and she really gets on whose boat and cooperates closely with whom, because she is afraid that she will have trouble when she gets off the ship.
Fang Yining carefully prepared an afternoon at home, not only dressed herself up beautifully, but also prepared a table of Lan Ming's favorite food and drink, today is the first anniversary of her and Lan Ming's marriage.
Although he knew from the beginning that Lan Ming didn't love her at all, marrying her was entirely based on the friendship between the two families and their fathers for several generations. In other words, Lan Ming is the biggest victim of family friendship, and in order to maintain various relationships in business and relationships, he was kidnapped by his marriage with no choice but and nowhere to escape.
In fact, Fang Yining is also a talented and good-looking woman who can go to the hall and the kitchen, plus she has a very rich family background and the identity of the daughter of a wealthy family, and there are many admirers when she is unmarried.
