Chapter 096: Family Mutation?
No, things are not so simple, Liu Youning should have done this to imply Gao Zheng, and there are some things that can only be known to him.
But what is it?
The more Gao Zheng thought about it, the more he felt a headache, and his heart was also panicked. It's like having a cloudy breath stuck in your throat and trying to vomit but can't get it out.
Meng Fanli and Wu Yuanan didn't seem to be strangers to the Ancient Martial Arts Hall and the Extraordinary Martial Artists, so they acted disappreciatively. Especially Meng Fanli, who had dealt with the people of the Ancient Martial Palace before, felt that there was nothing strange about what they did tonight.
Those who can enter the Ancient Martial Arts Hall are all gifted geniuses, and it is natural that they have strange temperaments and personalities.
In short, after relieving the doubts in Gao Zheng and Wu Qing's hearts, the two followed Wu Yuanan to prepare to leave Nangong Yi's mansion and go back to Wu's house.
Before leaving, Tang Guo sucked on his stick and said to Wu Qing: "When does Sister Qing plan to return to Xiangquan, remember to tell me in advance, and I will also go to play." In total, there are some days that have passed. ”
Wu Qing scratched the tip of her nose and smiled: "It's fake to go and play, it's true that you want to be with Gao Zheng...... The little girl is not honest in front of her sister, and I don't want my sister to help you be the wife of the upright house in the future. ”
"Oh, Sister Qing, you ...... What are you talking nonsense? Ignore you! Tang Guo turned around shyly and pulled Meng Fanli's arm: "Grandpa Meng, let's go back too!" ”
Meng Fanli nodded, and hugged his fist towards Wu Yuanan: "Master Wu, the old man has left first!" ”
"Farewell!" Wu Yuanan also returned the salute with both hands: "We should also go." ”
Tonight is a good thing for Wu Yuanan. not only took back the "one street", got closer to Nangong Yi, but also made friends with a great master like Meng Fanli.
What's more, the relationship between Wu Qing and Tang Guo not only did not stiffen because of Gao Zheng, but became closer than before. For the Wu family, it is undoubtedly a broader network of resources than Nangong Yi.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuanan became even more determined to promote Wu Qing and Gao Zheng to come together. In addition to the interest factor, it is also true that Wu Qing likes Gao Zheng. As a father, Wu Yuanan also hopes that his daughter can be with the person she likes.
Even if you can't marry openly, it doesn't matter if you can't combine with Gao Zheng in a legal identity, as long as Wu Qing feels happy.
And Wu Yuanan believes that Gao Zhengneng can make his daughter happy!
After getting along in the past few days, Wu Yuanan has recognized Gao Zheng and feels that he is a man with courage and responsibility. Handed over his daughter to him, Wu Yuanan was relieved.
After the three of them left Nangong Yi's mansion, they immediately drove back to Wu's house.
Wu Yuanan deliberately arranged for Gao Zheng and Wu Qing to cook raw rice, and found an excuse to push Wu Qing into Gao Zheng's room.
"Dad, what are you doing!" Wu Qing muttered lightly, and then ...... Got headlong into the quilt.
There is no way, Wu Yuanan locked the door from the outside, and he couldn't get out, so he had to occupy the bed first.
In fact, Wu Qing didn't have any other thoughts at this time, just wanted to sleep comfortably. When I returned to Wu's house, it was already dark, which was equivalent to not sleeping all night last night, and I really couldn't stay up at this time.
Gao Zheng was stunned, he understood Wu Yuanan's intentions, but he didn't know what Wu Qing meant.
With such repeated temptations, even if it is Na Liu Hehui, it is estimated that he will not be able to stay still, right?
After thinking for a while, Gao Zheng was also defeated by the strong drowsiness, and slept in the same bed as Wu Qing with his clothes, but he did not share a pillow. The two of them were still the same as last time, one sleeping on the other, Gao Zheng turned his back to Wu Qing, trying not to touch her.
However, after falling asleep, Wu Qing was "dishonest" and hugged Gao Zheng's legs tightly.
This sleep was in the afternoon, when Wang's mother knocked on the door and shouted for dinner, and the two of them got up sleepily, and after looking at each other, they both smiled.
"You're really a beast...... Haha......" Wu Qing laughed playfully.
Gao Zheng stretched his long waist and suddenly pounced on Wu Qing: "Do you really want me to be a beast?" ”
While speaking, his hand was not honest, and he reached Wu Qing's waist.
Don't look at Wu Qing's big grin on the surface, it doesn't seem to matter, but in fact, she is really nervous and scared to get to that point, especially at the moment when Wang Ma is still outside the door, how embarrassing will it be if she is bumped into?
So Wu Qing pushed Gao Zheng away hard: "Don't make trouble...... Hurry up, my dad is still waiting for us to eat. ”
"Hehe, Sister Qing turned out to be a paper tiger too!" Gao Zheng got up from Wu Qing with a smile and went to wash as fast as he could.
When the two of them arrived at the dining room, Wu Yuanan, Wu Yongjiang and others had been waiting for a long time. However, this time Wu Yongjiang was not angry, but the more he looked at Gao Zheng, the more pleasing he became, and he felt that Wu Qing and Gao Zheng could come together, which was a great blessing.
Not only for her personally, but even more so for the Wu family!
The superiors of the big family inevitably link everything in the clan to interests, and Wu Yongjiang is no exception. But unlike Wu Yongqing and others, Wu Yongjiang would not push Wu Qing into the fire pit and force her to marry Su Jinyang for the sake of family interests.
During the meal, several elders of the Wu family took the initiative to toast with Gao Zheng, saying that they were grateful to him for fighting back "one street" for the Wu family and relieving the huge crisis of the Wu family.
Of course, this is all a superficial reason, the real intention of the old guys is to borrow Gao Zheng's network resources to win greater benefits for the Wu family.
Gao Zheng naturally understood the thoughts of these people, but he didn't break it. In fact, it is also a good thing for Gao Zheng to be able to make friends with the Wu family, and if the industry in Xiangquan becomes bigger in the future, it may also expand to the provincial capital, and it is inevitable to ask the Wu family for help at that time.
With the big tree of the Wu family to shelter from the wind and rain, it can save a lot of trouble, and it can also borrow the channels and networks of the Wu family to quickly pave the way.
So when everyone in the Wu family was thinking about "climbing" to Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng was also fighting the Wu family's idea.
This kind of painful and delicate mind, whether it is to use each other or take what they need, is actually similar in nature. For businessmen, this is a normal thing.
"There's one more thing that's over!" Wu Yuanan took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice: "To find an overseas killer to assassinate Qing'er and Gao Zheng's mastermind, the Ye family and Ye Shiqi, you must pay the necessary price, otherwise outsiders will think that our Wu family is easy to bully, and people or ghosts can come and step on it." ”
"The Ye family? Ye Shiqi? An old man sitting opposite Wu Yuanan shook his head disdainfully: "What is the difference between destroying a down-and-out little family and pinching an ant to death?" Without much nonsense, I'll go and operate tomorrow and let the Ye family disappear in the provincial capital within two days. As for how to deal with Ye Shiqi, Qing'er and Ah Zheng make your own decisions, and the eighth uncle will make decisions for you. ”
These domineering words came from the mouth of Wu Yonghe, the eighth elder of the Wu family. When Wu Yongqing was in charge of the elder group, he had been excluded, and now that the power returned to Wu Yuanan's hands, an old generation like him naturally became a member of the new elder group of the Wu family.
Moreover, Wu Yonghe's strength is not bad, the proper master realm has been stable at the second level for many years, and after the infighting a few days ago, it can now be said that he has become the pillar of the elder group.
"Eighth child, don't be hasty!" Wu Yongjiang poured cold water on Wu Yonghe: "It's easy to destroy the Ye family and Ye Shiqi, but Ye Shiqi's son Ye Longchen is now Wang Chuanzhi's righteous son, and he has the support of the Wang family behind him." ”
Hmph, what about the Wang family? Wu Yonghe said unconvinced: "The Wang family has always wanted to suppress the Wu family, but as a result, wasn't it beaten by the Wu family? ”
"That was before, the Wu family could suppress the Wang family everywhere." Wu Yongjiang sighed and said: "The current Wang family is no longer what it used to be, not only allied with the Yi family and the He family, but also had a relationship with Xia Jing's Ma family. “
"And our Wu family has just experienced infighting, and the relationship with the Su family is lukewarm. Under the advantages of the other, the strength of the two sides is getting wider and wider, and the current Wang family, in turn, is stronger than our Wu family. ”“
"We have been getting closer to Nangong Yi recently, and the Wang family has not dared to make a move on the Wu family openly. If it was impulsive and gave the Wang family a handle to launch an offensive against the Wu family, it would only make the Wu family's situation worse. ”
Su Yonghe was silent when he heard this, he didn't pay attention to the Wang family, the He family and the Yi family, but Xia Jing's Ma family, that is something that he can't afford to provoke.
Among Xia Jing's four major families, the Tang family ranked last, while the Ma family ranked second. In other words, the power of the Ma family is greater than that of the Tang family, and this is a behemoth that no family in the provincial capital dares to offend.
"The sixth grandfather's words are not wrong, but what Ye Shiqi did, is it just that?" Wu Qing, who was sitting next to Wu Yonghe, said indignantly: "Today Ye Shiqi dares to find a killer to assassinate me, and tomorrow he dares to join forces with the Wang family to deal with the Wu family." ”
"He dares!" Although Wu Yongjiang is thoughtful and considers the problem more far-reaching and thoughtful, he is also a quick temper: "Don't talk about Ye Shiqi, even if Wang Chuanzhi dares to make a move against the Wu family, he must weigh the consequences." Our Wu family can't afford to provoke Xia Jing's Ma family, and will we be afraid that his Wang family will not succeed? ”
Some contradictory words fully demonstrated Wu Yongjiang's unprovoked character. After a pause, he changed his previous mind: "Qing'er's words also have some truth, if he didn't teach Ye Shiqi some lessons, he would still think that the Wu family was a soft-footed shrimp." ”
"Eighth child, just do it according to your plan, just don't make trouble. As for the Wang family, let's wait and see how it gets better...... The dish is cold, let's eat first. ”
After the meal, Wu Yongjiang, Wu Yonghe and others immediately went to the "North Building" to discuss dealing with Ye Shiqi.
Only two days later, news came out that the Ye family's property moved to the provincial capital suddenly declared bankruptcy. Including several properties of the Ye family in the provincial capital, they were also used to pay off debts, and Ye Shiqi and Ye Zhenhao and other core personnel of the Ye family were forced to take refuge in the Wang family.
At the same time, the Wang family also released rumors, saying that Wang Longchen was injured by the Wu family and vowed to ask for an explanation.
Gao Zheng remembered that he had abolished one of Wang Longchen's arms and legs that night, and he was even more sure that the experience at that time was true. It's just that the person who abolished Wang Longchen was Gao Zheng, but the pot had to be carried by the Wu family, which made Gao Zheng a little embarrassed.
On the contrary, the Wu family disagreed, thinking that if it was beaten, it would be beaten, and if it was abolished, what should it matter?
Even Wu Yongjiang felt that Gao Zheng was too merciful, and a bastard like Ye Longchen deserved to be killed.
In short, under the suppression of the Wu family, the last bit of foundation of the Ye family was also exhausted, and they were completely reduced to a lost dog.
In fact, if Ye Longchen hadn't been abolished by Gao Zheng, the Ye family's situation would not have been so miserable. At least the Wang family will look at Ye Longchen's face and will give the Ye family the least dignity.
Even in the future, if Ye Longchen really has the opportunity to take charge of the Wang family, there is still hope for reviving the Ye family. But now, Ye Longchen has become a waste, which is equivalent to losing this opportunity forever.
Wang Chuanzhi can tolerate a young master who does not learn and has no skills, but he can't accept a waste man who is inflexible. Of course, it was impossible for him and the elders of the entire Wang family to let the wasted people take over the Heavenly Family.
Without Ye Longchen's relationship, Wang Chuanzhi could drive Ye Shiqi and others out of the Wang family at any time and let them live on the streets.
The reason why the Wang family is taking in these people now is because the Wang family has a common enemy with them: Gao Zheng.
Wang Chuanzhi felt that the Wang family had lost such a good seedling as Ye Longchen, all thanks to Gao Zheng, so he had to take action against Gao Zheng. But using the power of a big family in a provincial city to deal with a small person, Wang Chuanzhi felt that there was a bit of a fuss, so he deliberately released a rumor, saying that it was the Wu family who hurt Wang Longchen.
This can also be seen as an excuse for Wang Chuanzhi to use Ye Longchen's incident to start a war against the Wu family!
Because of this, Wang Chuanzhi couldn't abandon Ye Longchen for the time being, but had to do his best to heal.
can sit in the position of the head of the big family, and the means have been perfected, so he naturally understands the importance of occupying the commanding heights of public opinion and morality.
Since the Wang family has already released a word and wants to find the Wu family to "ask for an explanation", then the Wu family must also make corresponding preparations.
So the next day, Wu Yuanan asked Wu Qing and Gao Zheng to go back to Xiangquan to stabilize the "Zhenghe Investment" on the edge of the land. As the tentacles and support point of the Wu family in Xiangquan, the strategic position of "Zhenghe Investment" is becoming more and more important.
If the Wu family loses the battle with the Wang family, they can transfer important resources to Xiangquan's "Zhenghe Investment", so that the Wu family's "seeds of revenge" can be preserved.
This is also the true intention of Wu Yuanan to insist on establishing "Zhenghe Investment" in a small city like Xiangquan despite everyone's opposition.
I have to say that Wu Yuanan is still very strategic, and when the Wu family is at its strongest, he is prepared for danger in times of peace, takes precautions, and makes comprehensive preparations in advance for the risks he may face in the future.
After agreeing on a time to return to Xiangquan, Wu Qing immediately contacted Tang Guo and prepared to take her with her. However, Tang Guo told Wu Qing that he couldn't go for the time being, because Xia Jing was in a hurry, and the family urgently summoned Tang Guo home.
"Sister Qing, you have to help me take care of Gao Zheng, don't let him be too careful." Tang Guo sucked on the lollipop and said to Wu Qing with a smashing mouth.
Wu Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one can replace your position as a junior in ten thousand years...... By the way, why are you in a hurry to return to Xia Jing suddenly, is there something going on in the family? ”
The latter question was asked by Wu Yuanan to Wu Qing, because Xia Jing's big family has too much influence, no matter which one of them goes wrong, it will affect the whole body.
Especially now that Wu Qing has a better relationship with Tang Guo, the Wu family still wants to get in touch with the Tang family through Tang Guo. At this juncture, if something happens to the Tang family, then the hope of the Wu family will be disappointed.
Tang Guo paused when he heard this, and replied lightly: "I don't know the specific situation, but it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise the master will definitely send a plane to pick me up, instead of letting me take the flight myself." ”
Well, although Tang Guo's answer was very simple and realistic, on the other end of the phone, the people who heard these words still felt that Tang Guo meant to show off his wealth. Sending planes directly from Xia Jing to the provincial capital is definitely not something that ordinary families can do, which shows the strength of the Tang family from the side.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Qing and Gao Zheng did not delay, and immediately returned to Xiangquan.
It has been almost half a month since Gao Zheng came to the provincial capital, and now he is about to go back, and he is still a little excited and nervous. He didn't call Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi in advance, ready to give them a surprise surprise.
Wu Qing also brought a surprise to the sisters, that is, the brand investment in Ping An Teahouse and Yiyun Medicinal Restaurant, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for Gao Zheng's help to the Wu family.
Wu Qing didn't even tell Gao Zheng about this in advance, and he also wanted to surprise him when the time came.
The way back was smooth, the whole journey was high-speed, and there was very little traffic, saving almost 40 minutes compared to taking the provincial road. When I returned to Zhou Yunfang's noodle shop, I was just in time for lunch.
Seeing Gao Zheng and Wu Qing, Zhou Yunfang was stunned for a moment, then squinted her eyes, and said lukewarmly: "Yo, are you willing to come back?" Or in pairs, bring the good ones with you? ”
Gao Zheng was full of black lines, and grinned: "What are you talking about, Sister Qing, you don't know each other, the matter over there was just done, and I didn't dare to delay for a minute and rush back!" By the way, how are you and Xiaoyi okay these days? ”
"You're not here, Xiaoyi and I don't know how good it is." Zhou Yunfang glared at Gao Zheng angrily, in fact, it was not to blame Gao Zheng for coming back for so long, but seeing Wu Qing and Gao Zheng together, Zhou Yunfang was not very comfortable.
And as a woman, Zhou Yunfang could see at a glance that Wu Qing's eyes for Gao Zheng showed love.
was scolded by Zhou Yunfang several times in succession, Gao Zheng couldn't answer the phone, and stood aside with his head hanging like a child who had done something wrong.
At this time, Wu Qing couldn't look at it, and snorted coldly and said to Zhou Yunfang: "I am older than you in terms of age, but Gao Zheng respects you as a sister, and I will also call you Sister Fang with him." I asked Gao Zheng to go to the provincial capital to help with errands, if Sister Fang wants to blame, blame me, I'm here to compensate Sister Fang. ”
"No, don't dare to be, I'll be busy first, Miss Wu, please do it." Zhou Yunfang turned around angrily, picked up the basin and prepared to make noodles.
Wu Qing shook her head and sighed: "Sister Fang's vinegar jar in the room is very choking, whether Sister Fang believe it or not, Gao Zheng and I are innocent." I admit that I have a good impression of Gao Zheng, but I know better that Gao Zheng likes Miss Su, and to be honest, I envy Miss Su. ”
"I don't mean anything else to follow Gao Zheng cheekily over today, one is to look at Sister Fang and Miss Su, how can I say that we are also old neighbors. In the past, I was the landlord and Sister Fang was the tenant, but now it has become a cooperative relationship, which is not shallow, so it is natural to come and see Sister Fang. ”
"These two are trying to talk to Sister Fang about deeper and longer-term cooperation, I don't know if Sister Fang can spare ten minutes to listen to the cooperation plan. Regardless of whether Sister Fang is interested or not, after finishing speaking, I will leave immediately, how about it? ”
Zhou Yunfang stopped, put the basin aside, and said lightly: "My little fussy thing can also get into Miss Wu's eyes?" ”
"Sister Fang is really good at laughing, 'Ping'an' and 'Yiyun' have become the two golden signboards of Xiangquan, especially the teahouse, there are already nearly ten franchise stores, this is still a small fight? It's just that outsiders don't know that Sister Fang is the real boss behind the scenes. Wu Qing saw that Zhou Yunfang was relieved, and her face was not so ugly.
"Miss Wu doesn't have to lift me, I have a few pounds and taels myself, and I know it very well. Whether it is a teahouse or a medicinal restaurant, they are all run by Gao Zheng. If you have any ideas, just tell Gao Zheng. As long as he agrees, I will not object. Although Zhou Yunfang is a little angry with Wu Qing, Wu Qing's investment vision and ability are obvious to all in Xiangquan, which Zhou Yunfang still admires.
She guessed that the cooperation that Wu Qing said should be to invest in the teahouse and the medicinal restaurant.
In terms of investment and operation, Zhou Yunfang is not good at it, and it is all handed over to Gao Zheng to be responsible, so she asked Wu Qing to tell Gao Zheng directly.
But Wu Qing misunderstood Zhou Yunfang's meaning, thinking that Zhou Yunfang was still jealous of herself, so she stepped forward and said: "That's not good, some things can only be said to Sister Fang, and some things can only be talked to Sister Fang!" ”
After that, Wu Qing actually burst into a rage and forcibly pulled Zhou Yunfang to the small room behind the counter.
Gao Zheng on the side was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wu Qing to use force on Zhou Yunfang, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, but Wu Qing pointed his finger and said, "It's none of your business, stay honest......"
