0439 Brotherhood
"Zetao, how do you know the Fang family"?
Seeing that Fang Batian and Zhang Zetao greeted each other, and ordered the guards to take Fang Peng and Fang Yong home, Ma Xiaomei's eyes had deep doubts, and she seemed to be more and more unable to see through her only nephew.
"That's right, auntie, when I was in Su Province, I helped Fang Yong once by chance."
"What"?
Hearing Zhang Zetao's words, Ma Xiaomei's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, both from the Jinghua family, Ma Xiaomei had heard a little about Fang Yong, the second son of the Fang family.
It is said that in Su Province, Fang Ershao, the only politician in the Fang family, and his girlfriend were almost killed by a local bureaucrat, but what Ma Xiaomei didn't expect was that this incident was also related to Zhang Zetao.
It seems that when he entered the door just now, Fang Batian was right, he really came to thank Zhang Zetao!
Ma Xiaomei hadn't seen what Fang Batian had done to Fang Peng, and if she did, she wouldn't have thought so.
"Sister-in-law, I see that Zetao is almost awake, otherwise, let's go back too?"
Ma Xiaomei looked at Zhang Zetao's gradually sober appearance, groaned, and said softly.
"Zetao, how are you feeling now"?
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
Feeling Xiao Hongling's worried eyes, Zhang Zetao smiled wryly, Fang Peng's enthusiasm, Zhang Zetao really couldn't shirk it, otherwise he wouldn't have drunk like this.
"You kid, remember in the future, don't be reckless if you can't drink, otherwise tomorrow at the Fang family, you won't go."
Xiao Hongling's somewhat blamed tone revealed a strong family affection, and from this sentence, it can be completely seen that for the sake of her son, she can ignore everything.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine"!
A helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Zetao's mouth, he could feel Xiao Hongling's worry, but since he had agreed to the Fang family's affairs, how could he not go, just drink as little as possible tomorrow.
"Can I walk on my own"?
Fang Peng's physique was a little shaky after he woke up, not to mention Zhang Zetao, Zhang Zetao, whose legs were a little weak when he tried it, looked at the pestle outside, maybe because he knew his identity, and Tang Xiao, who didn't know how, said with a smile.
"Xiaozi, what are you still doing in a daze, don't come and help me."
Although Wang Yuqi was by his side and had been supporting himself, seeing the appearance of Tang Xiao and the others, Zhang Zetao couldn't let the brotherhood with Tang Xiao become separated because of his identity.
Before, when Tang Xiao was the son of the head of the Organization Department of Jishan Province, he could call Zhang Zetao a boss, how could Zhang Zetao give up his good brother who treated him so sincerely.
The smart Wang Yuqi and Zhang Zetao really have a good heart, and after looking at the expression on Zhang Zetao's face, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yuqi's mouth, and he also spoke.
"Xiaozi, hurry up, Zetao is too heavy, I can't hold it anymore."
Listening to Zhang Zetao's intimate voice, Tang Xiao hesitated slightly, and immediately strode towards Zhang Zetao, supporting Zhang Zetao's body with his own hands.
"Xiaozi, you kid, what are your hands shaking, I remember you didn't drink too much!"
Feeling Tang Xiao holding his hands, he trembled a little, and Zhang Zetao, who understood what it was, smiled and joked, and at the same time looked up at Xiao Hongling and Ma Xiaomei, and solemnly introduced.
"Mom, aunt, this is my good brother in Jishan Province, Tang Xiao, the kind that is as close as my own brother."
Zhang Zetao's calm but firm voice made Tang Xiao's face stunned, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. After this period of precipitation, Tang Xiao, who understands the family, knows what Zhang Zetao's identity represents at the moment!
The grandson of former Chinese Prime Minister Ma Jianchang, the only third-generation male in the Ma family, this identity is much more noble than Zhu Yong's grandson. At this moment, Zhang Zetao is still commensurate with his own brother, and even introduces him to his elders, how can he not move Tang Xiao.
"Xiao Tang, since you are Zetao's brother, you are not an outsider. Zetao can't live here, I don't think the three of you live here, go back with Zetao, after all, it's more convenient at home than outside."
"We ......"!
Hearing Ma Xiaomei's words, Tang Xiao was taken aback, since he knew Zhang Zetao's identity, he also knew what the family Ma Xiaomei was referring to represented?
"Xiaozi, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so ink, it's not like the character who dared to fight and rush at the beginning."
"Boss, I ......".
"Okay, hurry up and help me go back, about Jishan Province, I still need to ask you tomorrow!"
Zhang Zetao said so, Tang Xiao could only accept Zhang Zetao's kindness, but the brotherhood of Zhang Zetao in his heart became more and more solid.
After driving for more than 20 minutes, looking at the heavily guarded Ma family compound in front of him, Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Zetao beside him, and felt for the first time how lucky he was to be brothers with Zhang Zetao.
"Zetao, Xiaomei, I won't go in."
"Mom"!
Hearing Xiao Hongling's words, Zhang Zetao shouted softly, with some sadness in his eyes.
"Zetao, don't drink so much in the future, don't let your mother worry, rest early, don't forget to cover the quilt."
Touching this Zetao's face, Xiao Hongling's eyes were a little red, she had always been lonely, how could she be willing to give up her own son. In Xiao Hongling's heart, she didn't think about Zhang Zetao's biological son all the time, thinking about everything about him, and watching his growth.
Especially in the state of Zhang Zetao drinking too much tonight, Xiao Hongling also wanted to take care of him by his son's side and fulfill the responsibility of a mother, but Xiao Hongling's insistence in her heart made her have to leave. Although the Ma family recognized her identity, Xiao Hongling had a gap in her heart, because in her heart, she always believed that she had absolute responsibility for Ma Xiaobin's death and Zhang Zetao's departure.
Even if everyone didn't blame Xiao Hongling, Xiao Hongling couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Mom"!
"Come in, it's windy late at night, mom is gone".
"Sister-in-law"!
"Xiaomei, don't say anything, Zetao will get rid of you at night."
After taking a deep look at Zhang Zetao, Xiao Hongling turned around and got into his car, looking at his own son through the window, thinking of Ma Xiaobin, Xiao Hongling didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
"Zetao"!
Feeling Zhang Zetao's sadness, the empathetic Wang Yuqi held Zhang Zetao's right hand and comforted him softly.
"Yuqi, don't leave tonight, okay?"
"Well, I'm not leaving"!
Wang Yuqi has also never spent the night at Ma's house, but looking at Zhang Zetao's appearance, she knows that if she leaves again, tonight must be a sleepless night for Zhang Zetao.
Hearing Wang Yuqi's words, he turned his head to look at the beautiful woman, Zhang Zetao was sad because of Xiao Hongling's departure, and he calmed down a little.
"It's back"!
In Zhang Zetao and his entourage, as soon as he stepped into the Ma family's compound, an old man's slightly worried voice came out.
Looking at Ma Lao, who was standing at the door like a javelin, and feeling Ma Lao's gaze staring at him, Zhang Zetao felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Grandpa"!
"Dad, why haven't you slept yet"?
Seeing Ma Lao waiting at the door, Ma Xiaomei was also a little surprised.
"Hehe, when people get old, they sleep less, and they can't sleep"!
As far as Zhang Zetao is concerned, how could Ma Lao not care about him? Although he tried his best to hide it, combined with all kinds of trivial things, it can be seen that Ma Lao's love for Zhang Zetao is better than most grandfathers' feelings for their grandsons.
Looking at the old man who had been seen on TV before, now standing in front of him, Tang Xiao, Xin Bin, and Miao Liang felt as if they had been drained, and from time to time they secretly looked at Ma Lao, the old man who once stood at the top of Huaxia's power.
"These three ......"?
"Grandpa, they're all my friends."
"Oh, then you can arrange it yourself, don't slack off others."
After finishing speaking, Ma Lao glanced at Zhang Zetao again, turned around and went back to his bedroom.
"Whew".
Ma Lao's departure made Tang Xiao, Xin Bin, and Miao Liang exhale in their hearts, although Ma Lao didn't talk to them, but the invisible momentum of Ma Lao standing at the door made them a little breathless.
"Xiaozi, it's not too early, I'll wronged you to sleep in the guest room tonight, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Boss ......"?
"Go to bed early, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow"!
Looking at the gratitude on Tang Xiao's face, Zhang Zetao smiled knowingly and patted Tang Xiao's shoulder, in Zhang Zetao's heart, and between Tang Xiao, the brotherhood is above all else.
