It was dark.

The zenith seemed to be pressed against a thick layer of cumulonimbus clouds, and with a bang, tons of rain were about to fall from the sky.

Qiao Yongcheng held a cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke was surging.

He let the faint light of the fire slowly swallow the tobacco, relieved himself, and then took a slow breath, and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "Half a year ago, A-Qing often told me to smoke less, and pay attention to self-cultivation when I am older, I verbally promised her, and I still feel that I am strong and strong, and I don't take it to heart, and now I see young people jumping out one by one, I really feel that I am old." ”

A Qing in Qiao Yongcheng's mouth is his wife He Yuanqing, he was also a first-class romantic figure when he was young, a well-known wealthy family in City A, and countless confidants in the business field, and later the old man in the family talked about marriage for him, and he didn't take it to heart at the time.

What years are you still engaged in feudal marriage?

Later, he was with He Yuanqing, but he never looked at another woman again.

"Ah Qing said that I am brave, and I must be forgiving and forgiving in doing things, I naturally understand that she has a point, but I still have an eldest brother on my head, and the eldest brother has a very capable son, others see me as infinitely beautiful, how do you know that I have been walking on thin ice all these years?"

"Mr. Qiao's difficulties, others can't understand, we all know that you are just swimming in the shallows now, and there will always be a time to take off again." An Min has been by Qiao Yongcheng's side for seventeen years, knowing that he is not explaining anything, but just feeling depressed and wanting to speak.

"Thanks to you all these years, our old man has always liked my eldest brother the most, if it weren't for my eldest brother, he wouldn't have been in charge of my turn at all. When my eldest brother was born, people all over the city came to congratulate him and invited the best gentleman to name him. But by the time I was born......"

Qiao Yongcheng pulled out a laugh, and there was an indescribable mockery in his tone, "I don't have anything." My mother told me since I was a child that I should not fight with my eldest brother, but to be my eldest brother's right-hand man and assist my eldest brother's career. My father gave me the word 'mediocre', and always asked me not to steal the limelight from my eldest brother, just be mediocre and stable. ”

"Actually, I don't hate my eldest brother, he has always treated me the same as others, I'm just unwilling."

Speaking of the word "unwilling", Qiao Yongcheng snuffed out the cigarette fiercely, and the hot ash fell on the expensive imported carpet, making an ugly mark.

"Obviously, we are all brothers of the same mother, I was only born three years later than him, why everyone told me to respect him and listen to him everywhere, he was clearly a waste, and he couldn't support the family business at all. I've worked hard to get to the present, but if there is a little gap, those people in the family will carry Ah Li to the top! It's not that I can't give him my things, I also really raise him as my own son, when the eldest brother doesn't care about him, when he is beaten like a mourning dog, I hold him with one hand and watch him grow up! ”

Qiao Yongcheng's tone of voice was fast and calm, but An Min didn't dare to answer easily.

Those who are familiar with Qiao Yongcheng will know that the more he wants to kill, the calmer the expression on his face.

"Everybody was waiting for me to fall, preferably to pieces, and I knew that when I was in middle school. When my eldest brother had an accident, my father and mother were very concerned, and I could only rely on myself for anything. Could it be that in the future, I will be in charge of my family, and I will not take care of Ali, and I will not give him the share that should belong to him? But they are always uneasy, they want to rob him, and they want him to fight with me, so don't blame me for being cruel to him! ”

A muffled thunder exploded in the sky.

An Min looked at the rushing traffic and thought to himself, "A storm is coming." ”

Qiao Yongcheng is actually an old-fashioned person in his bones, more than 20 years ago, he had to read the newspaper before eating every day, and now, electronic devices are extremely convenient, he still retains this habit, read the newspaper and read a book before eating every day.

He also values his family, whether it is his biological sons Qiao Minyu and Qiao Yuanyu, or his eldest brother's son Qiao Jiangli, he has a very patriarchal mentality, willing to eat fish heads and fish bones by himself, and give the most delicious fish to the children, but the only thing he can't tolerate is that the other party touches his bottom line.

The biggest difference between Qiao Yongcheng and Qiao Bozhen is that under his gentle and friendly appearance, there is a hideous and fierce inside.

In business, no one will see him as a good person.

"Young people today are really different from what we were back then, but one thing I know best is the rule of the jungle. If the little ghost of the Shen family and Ah Li want to join forces against me, it will be at least another ten years. ”

"Li Shao will always understand who is the one who is good to him."

An Min said in a low voice.

Qiao Jiangli didn't know anything about Qiao Yongcheng's considerations, he only knew one thing.

"Do you have a grudge against my second uncle?"

He stood in front of a sapphire ring, his two eyes looking at the details of the ring, Shen Chaochao finished talking to Lu Siting and Lan Ting, but he was able to throw this question just right.

"I asked you before, you just prevaricated in the past, and now I ask you again, do you have a grudge against him, and deliberately want to oppose him?"

If Qiao Jiangli had asked like this before, Shen Chaochao would probably have prevaricated in the past, but looking at Qiao Jiangli's calm expression now, to be honest, Qiao Yongcheng didn't lie, he really taught Qiao Jiangli with his heart, at least when Qiao Jiangli thought calmly, his demeanor was very similar to him.

Shen Chaochao walked to the same ring, also looked at the ring, and said in a casual tone talking about the details of the workmanship of the ring: "I went back to your house to congratulate Old Man Qiao, and on the way home, seven cars were crushed under the collapsed downstairs, and that scene is really memorable." Your second uncle Qiao has a 'special hospitality' for me, of course I will not be inferior, and I will give him some special preferential treatment, this is called courtesy, isn't it? ”

Qiao Jiangli's gaze froze, stared at the sapphire ring for five seconds, slowly moved to Shen Chaochao's face, and said, "News reward, it was an accident." ”

"There are many accidents every day, and some 'accidents' can naturally not be accidents, this kind of thing, your second uncle can catch it."

Qiao Jiangli turned his head away, as if he was digesting this sudden news, and then said: "You have been eyeing him for a long time, and you took the initiative to come to my house that time, not to make a bet with me at all, you just to see my second uncle." ”

"You're right." Shen Chaochao frankly admitted.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What does he want to do, you should ask?" Shen Chao said.

"Are you really still Shen Chaochao?"

has the courage to go against Qiao Yongcheng and not fall behind, is this still the Shen Chaochao who was dizzy at the beginning?

"Of course it's me, having a brain and having a brain don't have to be two concepts."

In the face of a person like Qiao Yongcheng, is he reluctant to keep his head as a legacy?
