When it was time for lunch, the two old men and some elders sat at the head seat. Uncle Zhao and Father Zhao were on the side. Zhao Zezhong, a few buddies and Li Qiaowei were the juniors, and they sat at the table near the door. Meng Yan didn't know what to think , also crowded with them.

The other guests were divided into two tables. Anyway, most of them knew each other, and they were not afraid of not being able to find a topic.

Coincidentally, Su Cheng was sitting next to Li Qiaowei. Although the round table was very big, it was not crowded for ten people, but they were so close together that when their bodies turned, they would unconsciously rub against each other a few times.

Several times when Li Qiaowei stretched out her chopsticks, her elbow touched Su Cheng's left arm, which made her very embarrassed, and she shrank subconsciously towards Zhao Zezhong on the left.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zezhong felt that Li Qiaowei's blushing was a bit strange.In his impression, although Li Qiaowei is not considered a masculine woman, she has a straightforward personality, and she never puts on an air at ordinary times. Things like blushing are basically insulated from her.

"It hit your cousin's shoulder." Li Qiaowei explained softly.

"Oh." Zhao Zezhong moved his chair a little to the left to save a little space.Considerately said to her: "If you feel crowded, just sit a little closer to me."

"Yeah." Li Qiaowei's mouth was bent upwards, she moved the chair slightly to the left, and nodded.

"Cousin is really considerate to his girlfriend." Sitting across from them, Meng Yan said enviously when he saw Zhao Zezhong's movements.

"When you have a girlfriend, you will do the same." Yao Yongqian next to him did not know the details of Meng Yan, only knew that his cousin Zhao Zezhong was not an outsider, and comforted him with a smile.

"Really?" Meng Yan seemed a little suspicious. "I don't have a girlfriend yet!"

"You're a college student, right? You're so handsome, and you don't have a girlfriend yet. Who are you lying to?" Bai Qi smiled disapprovingly and exposed him.

"I really don't have a girlfriend." Meng Yan waved his hand quickly.As if afraid that they would not believe it, she explained: "College girls nowadays are more open than our men. There is nothing you dare not do about a one-night stand. Who dares to ask them—"

When Bai Qishun heard him mention the one-night stand, he glanced at him unexpectedly. Meng Yan seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he glanced at Zhao Zezhong nervously, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't say that on purpose. -"

Most of the people here are friends of Zhao Zezhong, so they naturally follow the news on the Internet, and they all understand the meaning of Xiao Si's cousin apologizing, but for some reason, this apology sounds strange to my ears.

Zhao Zezhong didn't have any expression on his face, he turned his head to look at Li Qiaowei, and asked calmly: "Weiwei, you are studying in a university in England, shouldn't the college students over there be like this?"

"Young people all over the world are the same, it has nothing to do with whether they are college students or not." Li Qiaowei gave Zhao Zezhong a white look, "Especially for a rich and handsome man like you, one-night stands are really very common—— "

"Hiss—" All the male compatriots present took a breath when they heard that there was something in Li Qiaowei's words.

It seems that Li Qiaowei also knows about this, so is it time for a good show?I don't know how she will deal with it?Beat up Zhao Zezhong?Break up with him?Or is it more intense, directly confronting the Zhao family against the Li family?

Meng Yan stared at Zhao Zezhong and Li Qiaowei without blinking, to see what they would do next?

"Why are you staring at me?" Li Qiaowei blinked innocently, and asked slowly, "Are you all full?"

Uh--the crowd who watched the show hurriedly lowered their heads to pick up the food, and only three or four dishes were served, which was far too early to be full.

Was this molested by Li Qiaowei?Someone suddenly understood what she meant.

That's right, although the little princess of the Li family has a very straightforward personality, she is not a fool after all, so how could she act like San Niang teaching her son in front of everyone?

"Sister Weiwei is really virtuous." Meng Yan sighed to fuel the fire.

"No way." Zhao Zezhong hugged Li Qiaowei's shoulder. "Weiwei knows me too well, so it's useless for people with ulterior motives to mess with me."

"That's true." Meng Yan nodded seriously.Suddenly deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "Cousin, there are no outsiders here, tell us, you really haven't dated anyone?"

"Yes." Zhao Zezhong sneered, "Did you disappoint some people?"

If Meng Yan mentioned dating for the first time, it would be a slip of the tongue for him to still be his cousin, but now he thinks he is too smart to do so, which makes him doubt his cousin's real purpose. Could it be that his cousin is also a participant in this matter?

Li Qiaowei's eyes narrowed, she was sure that Meng Yan was involved in this matter.

What she couldn't figure out was that Meng Yan was Mr. Zhao's nephew after all, so what was the purpose of trying to deal with his cousin like this?

Some people say that in a big family, the younger generation will fight among themselves in order to compete for favor, but one is a nephew and the other is a grandson, even a fool knows that there is no comparison. The benefits will never come to him.

Besides, with his tricky face, I can see through it at a glance. Could it be that Grandpa Zhao can't see it? That's really ridiculous.

What Meng Yan doesn't know is that Li Qiaowei and Zhao Zezhong have been together for 20 years, and they have always regarded each other as brothers and buddies since they were young. It can be said that they know each other's personality and habits well. Zhao Zezhong is a man who is obsessed with sex. In terms of relationship, both of them maintained their innocence and were ready to have a relationship after marriage.

Such a man has a one-night stand with someone?Molesting young married women?Is there really a ghost?

※※※

While going to the bathroom, Zhao Zezhong called his bodyguard and asked how the investigation was going.

The bodyguard happened to find something and reported the result to him.

When Zhao Zezhong heard the name, his eyes darkened. Although he had already guessed the answer, he still felt very uncomfortable when he got the confirmation.

That person is the younger brother of Zhao Zezhong's former uncle, that is, Meng Yan's uncle. He and his uncle came to his house once before, so I have an impression. So, this matter is indeed caused by the uncle's family?

What is their purpose?If it was just to embarrass the Zhao family, why would they target themselves?You must know that in this family, I am considered the most useless person. I have neither an official career nor much success in the business world. Attacking him has really limited effect.No matter who else in the family has an accident, the Zhao family will suffer even more.

If it is because of his relationship with Li Qiaowei that he wants to use this matter to break the alliance between the Zhao and Li families, then this idea is really too vicious, no matter whether he is himself or his parents and grandpa, he will not let go of this matter Behind the scenes.

Especially when next year is the year of the general election, both the uncle and the Li family's uncle hope to make further progress. At this time, the two families must not make mistakes, otherwise neither the Zhao family nor the Li family can afford the consequences.

Back at the dinner table, Zhao Zezhong continued to drink and chat with the people around him as if he was fine, but his calmness could not be concealed from Li Qiaowei, she exchanged a tacit look with him, and after receiving the confirmation information, Li Qiaowei also calmed down.

Now, how to solve this matter is no longer up to them. They need to report it to Grandpa, and he will decide after discussion.

※※※

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the guests had almost left, and only my family and Li's grandpa and grandson were left in the courtyard.

Without outsiders, everyone relaxed, and Zhao Zezhong told his grandfather in detail what he knew.

The old man frowned and listened carefully, but the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to have deepened.

Just as Zhao Zezhong thought, the old man suddenly thought of the key to this matter. This is because someone wants to break up the alliance between the Zhao and Li families to prepare for next year's general election.

Who is behind the scenes? For old revolutionaries like them who have struggled with others all their lives, they can almost guess with certainty. What makes him feel distressed is that his only nephew is actually involved. Chest poking, what a difference.

Perhaps this is the purpose of the other party. Regardless of whether this matter can be successful or not, as long as Meng Yan's family participates, the first level of purpose has been achieved. The old man dotes on this nephew, and everyone outside knows it. It must be difficult for old man Zhao to know .

The old man is getting old, if he gets angry because of this, the reputation of the Zhao family will more than double.

"Old boy, what are you sad about? We have rarely seen this kind of person who eats inside and out in this life!" Mr. Li patted the back of the chair and persuaded in a loud voice.

"I understand. I just feel sorry for Xiaoxian—" the old man's eyes were red, "She left early, and I didn't take care of the son she left behind. How can I have the face to see her in the future—"

"Are you old and confused?" Mr. Li was jealous, and he hated Mr. Zhao's indecisive attitude the most. "People just hit you with this because they see that you dote on your nephew. If you declare that you don't recognize this nephew, others will not take advantage of him, and he can grow up in peace—"

"Dad, Uncle Li is right." Uncle Zhao also persuaded. "Xiaoyan was led astray because of your grandfather. If he didn't have the backing of the Zhao family, he could live a normal life instead."

"I understand." Mr. Zhao took a breath, and his face returned to calm.

For Mr. Zhao, his daughter is always the biggest pain in his heart. Otherwise, a person like him would be so confused that he needs others to comfort him.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhao Zezhong again: "Xiaosi, Weiwei is a good girl, you have to treat her well. Since someone wants to break you up, you should be more affectionate and loving, and never give anyone else this chance."

"I like to hear that." Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Should we find a chance to get engaged to them?" Mr. Zhao glanced at Mr. Li and suggested.

"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry." Li Qiaowei didn't know why, but suddenly shied away.

"I don't think it's necessary either." Zhao Zezhong blurted out without knowing why.

"Then it's up to you." Mr. Zhao just said casually, seeing that they were not interested in this, he didn't insist on this matter.

"Grandpa, I haven't figured out why my cousin is targeting me. I don't seem to have any grudges with him?" Zhao Zezhong asked his grandfather suspiciously.

"I understand that." Mr. Zhao sighed. "He made some mistakes when he was in junior high school, including making a female classmate's belly bigger, and the parents came to the door to complain. He always thought that you stabbed me with these things, so I hate you."

"It's really inexplicable. Is it because I went to the same middle school as him?" Zhao Zezhong felt that his cousin's logic was very strange.

"It's not just because you are in the same school." Mr. Zhao smiled wryly. "He thinks you're jealous of him, and that's why he wants to make a fool of himself in front of me."

"Oh." Zhao Zezhong also smiled bitterly.It's so childish.

This is probably because the cousin has no sense of security. He is worried that he will fall out of favor in front of his grandfather, so he will treat others like this.

※※※

After sitting and chatting for a while, Grandpa Li and Li Qiaowei also went back. The servant put away all the tables and chairs in the house and replaced them with a large round table that can seat 20 people.

Before dinner, Zhao Zezhong took out the altar of wine and brought it in front of the old man like offering a treasure.

"What is this?" Mr. Zhao asked strangely.

"Good stuff." Zhao Zezhong said mysteriously. "That calligraphy and painting is just for display, this is the treasure I prepared for grandpa."

"Just blow it up." Elder sister Zhao Zebei couldn't stand his younger brother's doggy appearance, and hit him.

"Believe it or not." Zhao Zezhong smiled nonchalantly. "Let's say it first, this is for grandpa, you are not allowed to move."

As he spoke, Zhao Zezhong gently opened the sealed altar, brought a wine ladle, poured out a large bowl of wine, and placed it in front of Grandpa.

"Is this wine?" Mr. Zhao picked it up and smelled it, and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, a friend of mine brewed it himself. Grandpa, would you like to try it?" Zhao Zezhong swallowed and persuaded.

Hearing that it was wine, the old man picked up the bowl and took a big sip. Suddenly, a gust of heat rose from his dantian. The body of the old man, who was afraid of the cold, seemed to be warmed by the wine, making him very comfortable.

"How is it? Isn't this wine good?" Zhao Zezhong looked at his grandfather's face and asked seriously.

"That's right, my body doesn't feel cold anymore, it's very comfortable." The old man had never eaten anything good, and seeing his grandson looking at him expectantly, he said comfortingly.

"Grandpa, drink again." Zhao Zezhong persuaded.

"Xiaosi, don't be stupid, grandpa is too old to drink too much." Zhao's mother stared aside.

"This wine is fine." Zhao Zezhong shook his head. "Do I still want to hurt my grandfather?"

In fact, the old man is also fond of alcohol. Because of his health, he has been abstaining from alcohol. Now that he heard his grandson say this, he took another big sip and felt regretful. This wine is too weak. It would be great if he could drink some white wine.

But the next moment, the wine spread along the meridians to the limbs, the whole body seemed to be basking in the sun, and the whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable. Some pain caused by the blocked meridians seemed to follow this The heat flow disappeared suddenly, and the body seemed to be 20 years younger, and the whole body was full of strength.

"This wine—" The old man's face changed and he stood up. "Little Four, where did you get it?"

"Have you tasted the benefits of this wine?" Zhao Zezhong didn't answer, winked at his grandpa triumphantly, and said with a playful smile.

The old man picked up the wine jar beside him and shook it. Seeing that there were still about twenty catties, he carefully pressed down the sealing mud, and said to Zhao's father, "Mingkang, this wine is precious, take it and hide it carefully, don't tell me. anyone."

After a pause, he added: "Whoever has physical problems in the future can drink a small cup."

"What—" the whole room stood up and looked at Zhao Zezhong in shock.

"Grandpa really knows the goods." Zhao Zezhong gave the old man a thumbs up.

"Stinky boy, you haven't told me where this wine comes from?" The old man seemed to be much lighter now, so he reached out and tapped him on the head, cursing.

"Grandpa's hands and feet are light. He beat me without thanking me. Isn't he heartless?" Zhao Zezhong played a rogue.

"Little Four, don't be silly, answer your grandfather's words quickly." Zhao's father was also anxious, and shouted from the side.

"It's really brewed by a friend of mine. He grows vegetables in the countryside of Yucheng City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. He may have grown the grapes himself. He made two jars of grapes. Last time my uncle went to drink and took one jar. Most of the time, the other altar was prepared by him for my grandfather's birthday." Zhao Zezhong said succinctly.

"That's weird." The old man said thoughtfully. "This wine is full of spiritual energy. Ordinary people drink it, and they can prevent all diseases and prolong their lives. After drinking it, the sick can recover their health immediately. I thought it was some mysterious person who brewed it?"

"It's not wrong for Grandpa to say that he is a hidden and strange person." Zhao Zezhong thought of Xia Jiusheng's qigong and healed the wound on his face. "Once I was injured on my face, which was bruised and swollen. He massaged my face with Qigong for more than ten minutes, and the injury on my face could not be seen at all."

"What? There are such strange people in the world?" The old man was not calm anymore.

"That's right, it's a pity that he is still young, only 19 years old this year." Zhao Zezhong said seriously.

"Could he be the disciple of a hidden and strange man?" There have always been such legends in China. For example, Liu Ji in the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty were disciples of some hidden and strange people who came out of the mountains and had abilities that ordinary people could not match. These strange people live in seclusion where ordinary people can't find it.

"It's possible." I heard from him that when he was a child, there were old Chinese medicine practitioners who taught him a set of qigong.

"Oh." The old man nodded. "Since you can become friends, then you should keep in touch with him. If he needs anything, try to satisfy him."

"Understood, grandpa." Hearing what grandpa said, Zhao Zezhong was very happy.

Does that mean that I can go to Yangyang often in a fair and honest manner.

"Grandpa, give me a sip of this wine." Looking at the bowl of wine in front of the old man, he had only taken two sips, and there was still more than half of the bowl left. Zhao Zexi begged for a drink with his face turned upside down.

"No, this is used by Xiaosi to honor me." The old man covered the wine bowl, glared at Zhao Zexi, and shouted.
