Fall in love with your enemy

Last time, I was anxious, fearing that the Gao family or someone would attack Feng Shizhi and the others on the road, but just when I stood up and was about to go out to find out the news, Shao Qin's voice came from across the screen. .

Shao Qin, Feng Shizhi, Brother Qingyun, Ying Qi, Pei Zhen, I counted them one by one and found that there were not many people who could sit down with peace of mind. That's right. Uncle Shao and the others have been at home for so many years, and they have never seen any conspiracy. , even if outsiders want to start from them, they still have to think carefully.

I looked back at Lao Fu and the others, and they all looked relieved.

Brother came just now, which is usually not his style, but it is understandable. He was worried about Brother Qingyun, and he couldn't go with him. He still had to put up security all the way to ensure Brother Qingyun's safety. Waiting for him to finish his journey After coming in, I first stood up and waited. After he greeted Lao Fu and the others, and sat down next to me, I sat down with him. However, my brother's arrival also reminded me of one thing. I quickly turned around and greeted him. I waved to the people following me.

"Miss?" Li Xi stepped forward and asked in my ear.

"Why are you following me? Where's Qin Ke? Hasn't she come back yet?" I asked doubtfully.

Li Xi is a little girl of the same age as me who is arranged by my husband to take care of my daily life. She is not seen often because she has been in school and only relaxed after the college entrance examination. I have seen her deal with things in my house more recently, but she She only takes care of my food, even a little nanny, and she never participates in the core affairs of the family. I know it's not a good thing, and I don't want to drag her into trouble, but today she is following me closely.

"Mr. Qin said he was still keeping an eye on Zuo Qiao. Although most of the guests last night were guests invited by the Gao family and our family's workload is not that heavy, we still want to keep an eye on it to avoid anyone wanting to submit a certificate to the Gao family. He came up with a bad idea and framed what happened last night to our family, so he could write down the list of people visited by the Gao family." Li Xi explained.

I thought about it for a long time and didn't think it made any sense. I have the Gao family's list here. Even if there are some that have been hidden, the person the Gao family sent to visit was Zuo Qiao. Zuo Qiao only followed Xin Ci's instructions and acted at all. There is no reason to harm my family, and if outsiders want to give advice, they will definitely not say it in front of Qin Ke. Calling in private will not fall into other people's ears, but then I thought again, many things about me are indeed inconvenient for Qin Ke. You know, since she has found something to do for herself, there is no need for me to stop her.

"Let her go. As for Chengcheng, what's the matter with him not coming? There will be trouble here for a while. Go and call him quickly." I said while covering my mouth with a tea cup.

"I called you a long time ago. The young master's mobile phone was turned off. Only after calling Mr. Shen's mobile phone did I find out that the young master is still with Miss Han. After what happened last night, Miss Han can't live without someone. The young master refuses to come back..." Li Xi said awkwardly.

I always think that Chengcheng is already struggling at home. If this situation does not happen again and the family has opinions, his life will be as sad as my last life. I blame him for not being measured, but forget that everyone has their own rights. The seven emotions and six desires.

I experienced something once, and no matter how sad it was, I recovered after a while, but Lulu and Chengcheng didn't. Lulu is a girl after all. Although Gao Xinci opposite her has been her good friend for more than ten years, Gao Xin The words didn't hurt her, but that kind of medicine is still a shameful insult to a girl's reputation. How could she not be sad? But I didn't expect that Chengcheng is her fiancé, and I should be by her side to comfort her at this moment. Yes, I didn't think carefully enough.

"Don't worry about him, let him go. I'll take care of you here. Let Shen Qilin watch over him and don't let him be impulsive. Also, be on guard against Han Yunshuang's evil intentions. That's not a good thing." I said casually. After a few words of explanation, Li Xi agreed and left.

From then on, I could only concentrate on the negotiations with the Gao family. After Feng Shizhi and the others sat down, the war officially started.

Mostly he still looked down on our family in his bones. The second master Gao relied on his rich family background to be a bit higher than our family. Even if it wasn't his own, he still bossed around. After hearing what Shao Qin said, he didn't say anything. He just raised his head and raised his head. The person behind him winked. Cui Ruzhou understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward and slowly poured a new cup of tea and handed it over.

"Does the second master have cervical spondylitis? This is not a minor illness. If something happens, you still have to go to the hospital." Zhu Wenqing was the first to look at it, and he said it calmly. The sip of tea in the second master's mouth was almost After losing his breath, he turned around and glared at Zhu Wenqing, but Zhu Wenqing still refused to be outdone: "What's wrong? Your eyes are so red, is it pinkeye? Alas, the second master is really old and has so many old problems. , if you ask me, you should install a larger infirmary at home. First, it will prevent you from having a disaster that day. Second, your cousin will not have to run out when she has a baby. Third, it will save your cousin. If he hurts himself again, there will be no place to cure him, right? Er Ye has committed so many evil things in his life, what if one of them takes revenge on my cousin? It feels like a white-haired person giving a black-haired person a favor, ugh, it’s not comfortable..."

"Mr. Zhu, before you speak, add the word '高' before the word 'Second Master'." Brother Qingyun obviously couldn't hold back his laughter, so he followed up with a sarcastic expression, frowning and covering his face. Covering his mouth, he glanced at Mr. Gao with disgust: "My dad, he is very superstitious. He would not even step on an ant to death, and would not go to any dirty place, just for fear of being contaminated with bad luck. You He said that the person in charge of your family outside is called Erye, and the person in my family is also called Erye. There must be something to separate them. Otherwise, when my father hears the same name, he will definitely go to some temple to recite it and let others know it. Go ahead and recite sutras, so as not to ruin your reputation for the rest of your life by something worse than a pig or a dog."

"You!" Second Master Gao immediately stood up in a hurry and pointed angrily at Brother Qingyun with one finger.

"Hey, Second Master Gao, why are you so anxious? There are many people in this world who are called Second Master, and I didn't name anyone by name and said it was you." Brother Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and suddenly looked surprised. Go up and ask: "I'm talking about things that are worse than pigs and dogs. Could it be that you have something in your heart and you admit it?"

"Nonsense! I have been doing business honestly and for the sake of the Gao family all my life. What do I have to admit..." Mr. Gao said with a guilty conscience and sat down again.

Some of the things I said were really accurate. Today, the second master of Gao is worried about his grandson. He is really out of his mind when talking. He is usually impatient, but even more so today. It is indeed easy to say the wrong thing. Look for flaws in him. Definitely the first choice.

After Zhu Wenqing and Brother Qingyun made a round of sarcasm, no one in the room remembered the business, and one was looking at him eagerly as if he wanted to bite someone. Mr. Gao also started to ask about the absence of our head of the family, but Gao was soon stopped. Fifth Master interrupted.

"It doesn't matter who comes. Since it's all about negotiation, let's just say it. Our family members are also here." The fifth master said with a chuckle while waving his fan.

Mr. Gao couldn't help but sneered, and after looking at my family one by one, he said scornfully while drinking tea: "Our family members are not all here, but Lang Yue and Xin Ci are the eldest sons, and the Gao family is the leader. It is normal for them to be busy with things. , there has just been a funeral at the fourth-bedroom nephew's house, who can not understand, isn't it not decent enough for three of our five bosses to come, but the Fu family just sent these few minions to deal with it, originally It’s not a reciprocal relationship, and you’re still pretending to be human, so what else is there to say.”

"You..." Brother Qingyun couldn't stand it and was about to beat him up. The brother on the other side of the screen tightened his heart and grabbed the corner of the table with one hand to stretch his veins. Fortunately, Uncle Ying next to him grabbed him and Qingyun Brother Yun realized that the person opposite was provoking him, so he quickly sat down, but Mr. Gao still looked like he was taking advantage.

Pei Zhen sneered, picked up the tea on the table, smelled it, and poured it on the ground. He seemed to be talking to himself and to others: "What kind of sincerity is this from the Gao family? I know it well. The eldest son of our family is the leader." In-laws, please be respectful. Normal people don’t give me much, just a barking dog and an old man who is about to be buried. My brain is confused. If I hadn’t accepted a man who respects the elderly and loves the young since he was a child. It makes sense, I should ask someone to bring a bottle of white wine and pour it."

"Yeah, I don't think we need to waste time here. Why don't we go back and wait for Chairman Gao to come to us in person to give us a reasonable explanation? By the way, we can also talk about Xin Ci and Shishi's marriage. Watching the two The children are now grown, so we need to prepare for the future in advance." Ying Qi said with a gentle smile.

If we just quarreled, our two families would have endless excuses to tell each other, but what else besides the equity of the Gao family are the second and third bedrooms of the Gao family who are most jealous of the eldest brother? Not only the marriage to my family, they looked down upon it with disdain. They just hoped that our family would be implicated and the entire Gao family would hate it. My family did not have a good marriage alliance. My engagement with Xin Ci was gone. How could they rejoice in misfortune? Uncle Ying did not. I was surrounded by a few words, but I chose the most heart-wrenching one to say. Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, the second and third bedrooms became quiet as if they had taken dumb pills.

"Now we can talk properly. If not, there is no need to waste time here." Shao Qin snorted coldly and turned his eyes to Zhu Wenqing sitting on the stage.

Zhu Wenqing understood what he meant, and immediately stood up, took tea, walked around the second master and third master Gao, and went to the direction of the fifth master. The teacup was placed on the table with a clear sound. Zhu Wenqing said very respectfully: "Fifth master, this is your place today." We gathered together after talking to my great-grandmother, so of course I want you to take charge of this overall situation, or should I ask you to tell me first, what do you think about my great-grandmother?"

Hearing the name of Grandma Tai, the second and third bedrooms were immediately speechless. Thinking that the only person in the Gao family who could convince everyone was Grandma Tai. Thanks to Grandma Tai, who was usually the most nagging person, the Gao family was able to After so many years of struggle, it has not been torn apart. As for the Fifth Master in front of me, although I had not seen the Fifth Master for seven years in my last life, I knew from Gao Xinci and my mother-in-law that the Fifth Master was a man who sincerely protected the Gao family. Yes, and this time he went to invite my grandma to come out in person. He must not have come to our family, and he would probably be someone easy to talk to, so I felt a little reassured.

The Fifth Master stood up, and even though he was dealing with Zhu Wenqing, a junior, and thinking about Zhu Wenqing's identity as the head of the house, he did not show off at all. After taking the tea, he sat down leisurely, stretched out his hand to motion for Zhu Wenqing to sit down, and then spoke: "I heard last night When something happened at home, I rushed back, but it was still a little late. I didn’t know much information. When I got to my aunt’s place, I was even less informed. But it was still clear. Now our negotiation is to solve two things. One, the fourth child The daughter-in-law Chi Yin in the house was assassinated. Secondly, our Xin Ci, Han Entropy, Shi Shi from the Fu family, and Miss Han from the Han family were drugged in their wine glasses, which caused some jokes. The old lady said, Since the incident happened on our property and the security of our home was insufficient, before solving the problem, I should first apologize to the Fu family on behalf of the old lady and ask Mr. Shao to give this to Miss Fu to express our gratitude. Madam’s concern for Miss Fu.”

As the fifth master spoke, he stood up again and took an exquisitely carved mahogany box from the hands of the person next to him. Shao Qin naturally went up to take it angrily when he saw this. He opened it on the spot and took a look. It was a mutton-fat white jade bracelet of very good quality.

"Of course my old lady knows that Miss Fu has a lot of good jewelry to wear, but as she is getting older, she really doesn't know what else to give her children, so she just gave her a treasured object at home to express her feelings. This is what the ancestors of the Gao family gave her a hundred years ago. The best bracelet made in overseas mines, white jade to support people, most suitable for the great-grandson's daughter-in-law." The fifth master said with a slight smile.

Things passed down from ancestors a hundred years ago, before the Qing Dynasty was over. Looking at the genealogy of the Gao family, 80% of the men are officials, and 80% of the women are wives of princes and ministers. There are many treasures passed down. The Gao family is rich. , usually don’t take it seriously, but the ones that can be treasured by the old lady are probably from the palace. They are priceless and can compete with the meeting gifts that the old lady gave me earlier.

Shao Qin naturally didn't dare to take over such a thing for me. It's more about pressure than wealth.

My family's wealth is not as good as that of the Gao family. My grandfather's generation just got rich, and it's even worse than my ancestors. They show such sincerity, and if I don't respond, it's like I'm really insulting them. I should be polite first and then fight. My family If you accept it, you must be polite. If you don't accept it, the Gao family will have a reason to put pressure on my family. The old lady's move seems to be bowing down for Xin Ci and I's marriage, but it is actually giving points to the fifth master's next words. What's the direction?

I turned back and looked in the direction of Lao Fu. Lao Fu was originally slumped relaxedly on the Arhat bed. Now he sat upright, frowned, and then looked at me.

"Dad, let's take it first. We can talk about Xin Ci and I later, don't let it get to the forefront." I said softly.

The old man understands my considerations. Naturally, he doesn’t want to go up against the old lady. Going against the Gao family is already a loss-making job. It’s okay for Mr. Gao to be so stupid, but if he is used to the conspiracy of the world, Madam, then our Fu family is most likely digging our own graves.
