Fortune-telling and ghost-catching are too cruel, I’m being targeted by the country

Qin Baichen saw Shang Shixu's anxious expression and frowned.

He asked in a calm voice: "So the merchant is afraid?"

Shang Shixu smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I'm worried that the merchant's children will be tricked by the Kong family. Their methods are too vicious."

He looked at Qin Baichen's indifferent and cold expression, as if he understood something.

"Don't you still know that the Kong family has taken over the forces in the north?"

Qin Baichen's thin lips moved, and his tone could not conceal his confusion: "Northern Territory?"

"Damn!" Shang Shixu saw that he was not pretending, so he couldn't help but cursed.

Young Master Shang, who has always been an elegant gentleman, now reveals his true temperament.

He spoke very quickly and said in a tone of venting anger: "The Kong family is planning to overpower your second uncle Qin Jinkang in the year-end votes and forcefully take over the power in the north.

Do you know what methods the Kong family used? They win over the hidden family and control the powerful people in the north. The Kong family threatens and coerces them into obeying their orders.

I just learned the news the day before yesterday. The Kong family has made such a big move. If they lose at the end of the year, do you think it will be a dead end? "

This is what Shang Shixu is most worried about. What the Kong family does quietly has violated the bottom line of all major families.

As the second-ranked family among the five major aristocratic families in the imperial capital, it is impossible to say that Merchant has no ambitions.

But they would not be as blatant as the Kong family and would not hesitate to confront the Qin family face to face.

The influence of a huge family is so intricate that it affects the lives and deaths of countless people.

Marriage between merchants and the Kong family is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Once a business loses its use value, it will inevitably be controlled by the Kong family.

Qin Baichen leaned on the back of the seat casually, with a vaguely curved corner of his mouth, and his narrow and sharp eyes added a ferocious look.

Like a born king, he stared indifferently towards the emotionally unstable Shang Shixu, with a posture of being at ease.

"The Kong family does not have the ability to recruit the forces in the north. The merchant's intelligence information is wrong. Go find out who wants to confuse your vision."

His tone was understated, his voice was as cold as frost, and the aura of a superior person hidden under his gentle appearance was faintly exuding.

Shang Shixu frowned tightly, "You mean, this is a cover-up trick of the Kong family?"

Qin Baichen raised an evil smile on his lips and said in a clear voice: "The Kong family is 100% unable to control the forces in the north."

Shang Shixu looked thoughtful, with murderous intent in his slightly lowered eyes.

He has been wandering around the center of power all year round, and he understands everything quickly.

The news from the northern border may be a smoke bomb released by the Kong family in order to strive for a successful marriage between the two families.

In an extremely depressing atmosphere, the guards of the Qin family arrived, led by Kong Jiaojiao, who was dressed in a low-key manner and could not hide the aristocratic bearing of the family.

"Master Qin, Young Master Shang, long time no see."

Kong Jiaojiao smiled coquettishly and greeted her warmly.

She walked to Shang Shixu very naturally and sat down, her eyes falling on Qin Baichen who was in charge.

Kong Jiaojiao pulled the cloak on her body and joked aloud: "I heard that Master Qin, in order to please his wife, would not hesitate to let his men buy Tibetan magical artifacts that were thousands of years old at high prices.

What a new thing, when did Mr. Qin know how cold it is and how hot it is? Sure enough, this married man is different. "

Qin Baichen nodded to her very gentlemanly, pursed his lips and smiled softly, and said in a gentle and doting voice:

"My wife is young and likes to play with those things. It's just a gadget, not worth mentioning."

As soon as these words came out, Kong Jiaojiao almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.

wrong!

Qin Baichen still looked gentle and elegant, but his eyes, filled with a faint and distant coldness, were now overflowing with indulgence and warmth.

This is a tender look that was not shown in the photos that were taken secretly before.

Kong Jiaojiao stared at Qin Baichen, who had a smile on his lips, like a god who pitied all living beings, and had clear features.

She only felt her temples twitching, causing her to have a headache.

Could it be that the previous calculation was wrong? Qin Baichen really fell in love with the daughter of the supporter!

Kong Jiaojiao's hands on her legs were squeezed together tightly, and the jealousy in her heart kept pouring out.

Thinking of Shang Shixu sitting next to her, she tried hard to keep the remaining smile on her face.

"Looking at Master Qin's attitude, you, the flower of the high mountains, are willing to be picked. Let the girls who are enamored with you know that they don't know how to be sad."

Kong Jiaojiao had a smile on her face, and there was malice in her eyes that could not be hidden.

It's best to let people know Fu Jiuqing's position in Qin Baichen's heart and let her see the real family's methods.

Even if she gets some men, she is destined not to have them with peace of mind.

Qin Baichen took a deep look at Kong Jiaojiao, and a dark light slipped through his eyes.

He asked calmly: "Miss Kong came here uninvited. Isn't she here to tell me these insignificant things?"

Kong Jiaojiao's face changed so quickly that she immediately showed the shyness of a little girl.

She glanced at Shang Shixu secretly, and there seemed to be an affectionate hook hidden in her ambitious eyes.

"I'm here to find timing."

A short sentence that can be said a thousand times and contains infinite affection.

Young Master Shang, who had never understood what flirting was, couldn't help it, and his whole body was agitated.

The goosebumps on his body almost fell to the ground, and he subconsciously moved his noble butt towards Qin Baichen.

Such a pretentious woman kills people without repaying her life!

He is grateful but not sensitive!

Kong Jiaojiao noticed Shang Shixu's little move, with a sarcastic and disdainful expression on his face.

She quickly restrained herself and took Shang Shixu's arm very naturally.

"Dad asked us to go to our house for dinner after we get off the boat. Uncle Shang has already agreed."

Shang Shixu was about to dodge, but subconsciously stopped.

He narrowed his eyes sharply and stared at Kong Jiaojiao dangerously: "What do you mean?"

Kong Jiaojiao was not afraid at all. She met his displeased and dangerous eyes and said with a sweet smile: "It's an engagement. Uncle Shang agreed."

"Oh!"

There was a strange noise at the entrance of the restaurant.

Jiang Wan, wearing a black haute couture dress, stood there, her luxurious handbag falling to the ground.

Her emotionless eyes stared straight at Kong Jiaojiao and Shang Shixu.

As a movie queen, Jiang Wan's overall facial features are not considered to be of great beauty, but she has a stunning classical beauty.

She clearly saw the intimate gestures between Shang Shixu and Kong Jiaojiao.

Jiang Wan didn't make any noise or fuss, just watched quietly.

After a few seconds, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, then gracefully bent over to pick up her handbag.

Jiang Wan's voice was very sweet: "Sorry, did I disturb you?"

Shang Shixu didn't expect her to come, and subconsciously frowned: "Why are you here?"

The questioning tone was mixed with a hint of displeasure and concern that was hard to detect.

Jiang Wan lowered her head to tidy up her handbag, and said in a calm voice: "I heard you called me, so I was brought here. I didn't expect that I didn't come at the right time."

At this time, she didn't understand how she was being plotted against.

Shang Shixu didn't call her at all. It was Kong Jiaojiao who, as Shang's future eldest mistress, deliberately wanted to embarrass her.

Kong Jiaojiao leaned her body close to Shang Shixu's body, holding the headdress of a famous lady.

She said to Jiang Wan in a tone that did not allow for refutation: "This is not Miss Jiang. I came at the right time. I heard that you play the piano well.

Shixuan and I are about to get engaged. Why don't you play a song for us as a blessing? "

After saying that, Kong Jiaojiao still covered her mouth and smiled.

The look of someone about to marry his sweetheart clearly fell into the eyes of Jiang Wan who suddenly raised her head.

She frowned slightly with a layer of melancholy on her face, and tightened her grip on her handbag. It was obvious that she had reached the limit of her tolerance.

Qin Baichen was not interested in watching this good show, and was worried about Fu Jiuqing being sulky in the room.

He stood up gracefully, stretched his sleeves slowly, and spoke in a reserved and indifferent voice.

"Excuse me, everyone. I'm going back to my room to accompany my wife."

Kong Jiaojiao, who was silently releasing the pressure on Jiang Wan, froze the smile on her face.

She frowned tightly and looked at Qin Baichen in disbelief.

He seemed not to believe that what he just said came from this person's mouth.

"What are you doing with me? There is a good show to watch here. It would be a waste not to watch it."

A sweet, playful, and somewhat sarcastic voice sounded.
