After returning from Mr. Zhao's house, Mr. Li called his sons and grandsons who had no tasks in the capital home, had lunch together, and told them about the dissolution of the marriage between Li Qiaowei and Zhao Zezhong.

Of course, for the sake of his granddaughter's face, he didn't say anything about her favorite Su Cheng.

What's more, she and Su Cheng are only friends. It is not good to make this matter public before getting a clear answer.

The few uncles heard their father's vague words, and knew that there must be something inside.Although it was a pity secretly, but since the old man had made a decision, they did not object.

On the contrary, a few cousins ​​thought that the Zhao family had betrayed their promises by doing so, and they were unhappy, and secretly discussed to find opportunities to teach Zhao Zezhong a lesson.

After eating, several people sat on the sofa and chatted.

Duan Wei came more often, and gradually he did not regard Xia Jiusheng's family as outsiders, and spoke casually. Now he leaned his head on the sofa, chatting with Papa Xia in a drunken tone.

"Uncle Duan, do you want to go upstairs and sleep in my room?" Xia Jiusheng asked him when he saw that he was drowsy after drinking, and he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

"Let's chat for a while. If you're really sleepy later, go to bed." Although Duan Wei felt drunk, he was actually still sober. He was very interested in chatting at this time, so he planned to sit for a while.

"Okay, let's have a cup of tea first, this is a hangover." Xia Jiusheng persuaded him as he handed the tea to him.

"En." Duan Wei nodded, took the tea, and took a few sips.

"Xiao Xia, your food is really delicious, but the tea leaves are too ordinary. Next time I come over, I'll bring you some good tea." Duan Wei spoke more and more casually with a hint of alcohol.

"Uncle Duan, are you blaming me for being stingy for not buying tea for you?" Xia Jiusheng joked with him.

"That's not true." Duan Wei said with a smile. "Someone gave me a few tins of tea. They said it was the top Yuqian Longjing tea. I can't drink that much by myself. Let me bring you some to taste!"

"Thank you, Uncle Duan." Xia Jiusheng thanked politely.

Not satisfied with your tea?The problem is that it is not grown by myself, but my father bought it from the tea factory in the village. It costs more than ten yuan a pack, mainly because it is hygienic.

No one in his family knew how to taste tea, so he never cared about tea.If you want to drink good tea, you'd better grow it yourself in space.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiusheng had an idea. When he was free, he would dig some tea trees and plant them in the space. At that time, he would take the freshly grown tea leaves and ask the handmade tea masters in the village to make flag gun tea. It must be better than Uncle Duan's. Longjing is good before the rain.

"Why are you polite, we are a family now." Duan Wei waved his hands and said unhappily.

Xia's mother sat beside her and didn't say much. Seeing that such a big man as Duan Wei was polite to her son, she was very proud.

I don't know why, after they have known their son for a while, they all like him very much. Whether it is Xiao Zhao, Nie Hongjun, or Duan Wei in front of him, they are all very affectionate with his son. I really don't understand this brat. There is something magical about him.

After Xia Jiuqiang returned home yesterday, she has been worrying about her younger brother.This morning, I went back to my mother's house again, took some replacement clothes and daily necessities, and went to visit my brother.

This time, I managed to see my younger brother. Seeing many scars on his face, I asked nervously, "Jiuxing, what's wrong with your face? Is there someone bullying you inside?"

Xia Jiuxing looked around, and seeing that the policeman who brought him out was not around, his eyes turned red immediately, and he begged in a low voice, "Yes, sister, hurry up and ask uncle to think of a way to save me—— "

"I went to my uncle, and he said that the person you bumped into was too powerful, and he couldn't help it—" Xia Jiuqiang looked at his younger brother, and said sadly and helplessly.

"Why is this happening? Don't you guys ignore me? Let me be beaten to death in prison?" Xia Jiuxing shouted excitedly when he heard this.

"Quiet." The policeman sitting opposite glanced at this side and knocked on the wall in warning.

"Beating to death? Jiuxing, tell me quickly, what do you mean?" Xia Jiuqiang was so frightened that her face turned pale, she grabbed her younger brother's hand and asked anxiously.

"As soon as I entered the detention center, four people came in behind me. They followed me everywhere, and it was obvious that they were coming for me." Xia Jiuxing lowered his voice, suppressing panic and despair. "When no one was paying attention, they beat me. They couldn't see the wound after the beating. Even when I told the police, I couldn't find any evidence. I was afraid that one day, I would just die in it for no reason—"

"Jiuxing——" Xia Jiuqiang trembled violently because of the excitement, like hearing thunder.

She couldn't imagine what would happen to the family if her younger brother was beaten to death in prison. Grandma would definitely be seriously ill, and her parents would probably lose their hair overnight. This younger brother has been the family's sweetheart since childhood. through this suffering.

"I know." Xia Jiuqiang had already made up her mind at this time, but her face calmed down. She whispered to her younger brother: "Persist for another day, try to protect yourself, don't let them get hurt, I will find someone right away save you."

"Sister, hurry up—" Xia Jiuxing was relieved to hear his sister speak so confidently, and begged weakly.

After leaving the detention center, Xia Jiuqiang didn't go back to her mother's house, but directly drove the van to her second uncle's house.

At this time, all she could find was her cousin, even if she didn't want to, she had to come.

Walking into the second uncle's house, seeing my cousin's family, sitting in the living room, chatting with a guest, everyone's face is full of joy and celebration, unlike my mother's family, everyone is crying now.

"Yangyang—" Xia Jiuqiang burst into tears as soon as he called out.

"What's wrong, sister?" Seeing his cousin walking in with tears in her eyes, Xia Jiusheng hurriedly stepped forward, supported her, and asked worriedly.

"My sister is also desperate, so I came to you." Xia Jiuqiang wiped her eyes and said sadly. "You have helped us so much, I really have no face to trouble you again."

"What are you talking about? Sister, does my family need to be so clear?" Xia Jiusheng pulled a few tissues and handed them to his cousin, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"I went to the detention center just now and saw many scars on Jiuxing's body. I asked him, and he said that there were four people inside, who were beating him specifically. After beating, they couldn't find any scars. He was afraid that he would be beaten for no reason. dead in-"

"What?" Xia Jiusheng was taken aback.

He thought that his cousin was locked up in the detention center, but he just lost his freedom, and nothing else happened. Anyway, the police haven't finished the case yet, so he didn't rush to ask his parents about the situation. He didn't expect that the matter was more serious than he thought, and the other party didn't bother to wait for the case to be resolved. Come down, I want to kill my cousin directly.

"He said that these four people followed him into the detention center, and they must have gone there just for him." Xia Jiuqiang was afraid that his cousin would not believe him, so he added.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll call someone to find a solution right away." His cousin's life was at stake, Xia Jiusheng didn't dare to hesitate, he quickly took out his phone, and wanted to ask Zhao Zezhong if there was anything he could do.

"Xiao Xia, don't ask someone else, let me handle this matter!" Duan Wei didn't make a sound when Xia Jiuqiang came in. After all, he didn't understand the relationship between that girl and Xiao Xia. I can't help but speak.

He is very clear that this matter is just a trivial matter to him, but it is a catastrophe to a family like Xia Jiusheng.These days, his father and son have been taken care of by Xia Jiusheng, and now that they have the opportunity, they should do something.

"Uncle Duan, this matter is in Yucheng. If it's inconvenient for you—" Xia Jiusheng had heard about the person his cousin bumped into, and even his uncle couldn't help it, which shows that the background is very serious.And Uncle Duan is not from Yucheng, if he is not sure about it, he will not be able to step down, so he wants to stop him.

"Xiaoxia, do you look down on Uncle Duan, afraid that I can't even handle this matter?" Duan Wei joked with Xia Jiusheng, took out his mobile phone, pressed the serial number, and said seriously: "I am Duan Wei, looking for You, Mayor Feng."

Xia Jiusheng stared at Duan Wei dumbfounded. This uncle who usually smiles, now the majesty of the superior is fully exposed, and the unique serious expression makes him a little strange. Is this the real Uncle Duan?

Xia Jiuqiang was also a bit unresponsive, her cousin knew Zhao Zezhong, and she couldn't understand why the uncle who sat on the sofa casually and chatted with him looked like a high-ranking leader. To the mayor, is he older than the mayor?

"Xiao Feng, should you rectify your public security system? If the suspect enters the detention center, his life cannot be guaranteed, so what can you guarantee—" Duan Wei's voice was not loud, but he heard it in his ears, how did he feel? I was in a panic.

"Don't make excuses for me, I have a relative here who just entered the detention center and received such life threats—" Duan Wei's voice sounded.

He pressed the phone and asked Xia Jiusheng again: "Xiao Xia, what's the name of your relative?"

"It's Xia Jiuxing." Xia Jiuqiang replied hastily.

"It's Xia Jiuxing." Duan Wei said sternly into the phone: "I don't need you to cheat because of me, I just hope you have an attitude of being responsible to the people, and find out for me right away, what happened to this matter?" What? Does the police system still talk about the rule of law—”

After speaking, Duan Wei hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer.

"Uncle Duan." Xia Jiusheng called with a complicated expression.

"Is it because I didn't tell you my identity?" Duan Wei looked at Xia Jiusheng and asked kindly.

"No." Xia Jiusheng shook his head, and sincerely said to Duan Wei, "I will be very grateful if you can help my family."

"I guess you don't usually go online, otherwise I, Duan Wei, would be the deputy secretary of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee anyway, so there's no way you haven't even heard of it." Duan Wei laughed.

Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?Xia Jiuqiang sat on the side, almost fainting.

Who does the cousin know?How could any uncle next door be such a big leader.

Xia's father and Xia's mother usually kept quiet when their son was talking about things, but now their eyes were straightened. Ah Fu's father is actually a big leader in the province?

After Zhao Zezhong had lunch, he couldn't wait to fly back to the Shanghai stock market.

The Shanghai stock market is still the same Shanghai stock market, and the company is still the same company, but Zhao Zezhong sat in the car, and when the driver took him back to the company, he always felt that everything was different from before.

Even if the assistant Huang Pinzhang put a thick stack of documents in front of him and asked him to sign them quickly, he opened them one by one in a comfortable mood and read them patiently.

"Fourth Young Master, what kind of happy event did you meet?" Huang Pinzhang frowned at Zhao Zezhong, endured it for a long time, and finally asked.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Zezhong smirked a few times, scratched his head, looked at Huang Pinzhang, and asked with a pleasant smile.

"The blind can see it too." Huang Pinzhang gave him a blank look, and said angrily.

In the past, although the four young masters were a bit childish, they were still very serious when dealing with company affairs. They would never smile smirking at documents like today. Would such a state really affect work?

"For me, one of the most important and most difficult things has finally been solved satisfactorily—" Zhao Zezhong said with a smile, not caring about Huang Pinzhang's white eyes.

"Then congratulations to the Fourth Young Master." Huang Pinzhang restrained his disapproving expression when he heard his words solemnly, and congratulated seriously.

"Thank you." Zhao Zezhong still smiled, "Uncle Huang is the most important person to me besides my family and love. I am very happy to receive your blessing."

"I'm really curious about how you describe it. Of course, if it's not convenient for you to tell me—" Huang Pinzhang said hesitantly.

"You are my assistant, so I can't hide this matter from you." Zhao Zezhong confessed in front of his parents, and now he can let it go, "My family has agreed to the matter between me and Yangyang."

"What?" Huang Pinzhang was shocked. "The matter between you and Shao Xia, your parents agreed, you mean, you used to be lovers—"

"Yes, did it scare you?" Zhao Zezhong smiled triumphantly.

"A little bit." Huang Pinzhang said insincerely.

He always knew that Zhao Zezhong had an engagement with the Li family, so he never doubted his relationship with Xia Jiusheng.What's more, he also has selfish intentions, because he likes Xia Jiusheng very much, and he wants to find an opportunity to introduce his 16-year-old daughter to him, so that they can become friends?

did not expect?Forget it, Huang Pinzhang sighed, it's no wonder the fourth young master is so concerned about Xiao Xia's affairs, so they were originally a couple?

Li Qiaowei carried her suitcase and came to the familiar street in Yucheng, looking at the two big advertising words on it - Orange & Chong, her eyes were as gentle as water, as if she was looking at Su Cheng's face that she could never forget .

Finally being able to be free and to be with Su Cheng with peace of mind, Li Qiaowei's heart beat fast, her face flushed with excitement, never had she experienced such severe mood swings like this moment.

Walking into the lobby, the little girl at the front desk saw her and greeted her warmly: "Miss Li, are you back?"

"Yeah." She nodded with a smile.

Yes, I'm back.What the little girl said was very useful to her.It seemed like she was just away for a while.

"Let me help you carry the suitcase." The little girl came over enthusiastically and helped her lift the suitcase.

"Thank you." Li Qiaowei mentioned this from the door, her hands were indeed a little sore, she didn't refuse at this time, and thanked her politely.

The two walked to the door of the room in the backyard, and the little girl put down the suitcase and said goodbye to her.

Li Qiaowei took out the key and opened the door. Nothing in the house had changed. He opened the suitcase, took out the things and sorted them, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror.

Still excited and inexplicable in her heart, she was impatient to wait any longer, squeezed her clutch bag, and walked briskly to Su Cheng's house.

In the room, Su Cheng was entertaining Wei Chaozhuang, and the two sat on chairs, drinking coffee and chatting.

Su Cheng's room, whether it is a table, chair or a sofa bed, is made of logs. The appearance and style come second. Sitting is the most comfortable. Even if it is like the wooden chair you are sitting on now, you can nest in it , coiled like a lazy cat.

"Su Cheng, your home is so comfortably furnished, you don't want to move anymore when you sit here." Wei Chaozhuang sighed familiarly, and said, "Of all the people I know, you know life best. The child must be very happy to marry you."

Su Cheng smiled, but didn't make a sound.

There are more than one or two girls who have given him such a hint, and Su Cheng will not respond.He knew that Wei Chaozhuang had a crush on him the first time they met, but he felt that it was best for the two of them to get along step by step, unless the other party made him fall in love at first sight.

If Li Qiaowei said this, Su Cheng secretly sighed, maybe he would respond immediately.

Tuk tuk, there was a soft knock on the door.

Su Cheng shook his body and sat up straight suddenly.

Just by hearing this voice, he was sure that it belonged to Li Qiaowei. Sometimes people are like this, and they can clearly distinguish the difference from others from a simple thing.

Standing up and rushing to the door, she opened it, and it was indeed Li Qiaowei standing at the door.

After only seeing him for a few days, Li Qiaowei seemed to have changed a lot. The calmness she had when meeting him before was gone. Now she had a faint smile on her face, like a shy little girl.

"Are you back?" Looking at this familiar face, Su Cheng suppressed the surging emotions and asked softly.

"Well, I'm back." Li Qiaowei blushed, nodded slightly, and replied.

"Su Cheng, who is this lady? Why don't you invite her in?" Wei Chaozhuang felt a sudden shock when Su Cheng rushed over to open the door. When he saw the girl standing outside, she was more beautiful than himself. Nothing less than that, she seemed to understand something at once, she was not willing to admit defeat like this, stood up and walked behind Su Cheng, and asked gently.

"Oh, do you have guests?" Li Qiaowei was a little surprised.

She is clear about Su Cheng's pickiness of her friends. Since he can entertain her at home, the relationship must be not simple. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Yes." Su Cheng didn't hide it, and welcomed Li Qiaowei into the room: "Come, let me introduce you."

"Let's introduce ourselves!" Wei Chaozhuang smiled and held out his hand to Li Qiaowei, "My name is Wei Chaozhuang, an English teacher in No. [-] Middle School, Su Cheng's girlfriend—"

Su Cheng's face was a bit ugly. This Wei Chaozhuang had performed very well before, but she didn't expect her true nature to be exposed immediately when something happened. Her true character didn't seem to be as magnanimous as she showed.

"Hello, Miss Wei, my name is Li Qiaowei, and I'm Su Cheng's friend." Although Li Qiaowei was a little worried about gain and loss, her good education calmed her down and said calmly.

"Oh." Wei Chaozhuang nodded proudly, and asked again: "Where is Miss Li employed?"

"I'm still in college, and I won't graduate until next year." Li Qiaowei said lightly.

Seeing that Wei Chaozhuang advertised himself as Su Cheng's girlfriend, Li Qiaowei felt relieved. How could Su Cheng have a girlfriend within a few days of his absence? Isn't this putting money on her face?It's not that she doesn't know Su Cheng's character.

"Still a college student?" Wei Chaozhuang's face turned pale. "I don't know which famous university Ms. Li is studying at. I just graduated from Peking University the year before last. Maybe it's not necessarily an alumni?"

"That's really a pity. I don't have the chance to become alumni with Miss Wei." Li Qiaowei sat down on the chair, picked up the coffee that Su Cheng had just brought over, and took a sip gracefully: "I'm studying in a university in the UK."

"Really? That's such a pity." Wei Chaozhuang's expression turned ugly.

She thought that whether she had a good education background or a good family background, she could crush the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party was studying abroad.

The two fought openly and secretly for a while, without winning or losing.

Su Cheng didn't make a sound, but when he sat down, his position was closer to Li Qiaowei, which showed his bias.

In his heart, he is of course on Li Qiaocheng's side, but now that Wei Chaozhuang is here, if he behaves too obviously, and if someone spreads the word, it will be in the ears of the Zhao family or the Li family, it will be good for himself and for Li Qiaowei Well, it's all hurt.

So he could only look at the two of them, hoping that they would stop playing riddles as soon as possible.

When Su Cheng sat down, Li Qiaowei understood Su Cheng's thoughts in her heart, and her uneasy heart suddenly settled down, showing a knowing smile to Su Cheng.

Wei Chaozhuang saw that they had a good understanding, his heart suddenly cooled down, and suddenly he felt a little bit resentful towards Grandma Su, why did he introduce himself to him when his grandson obviously already had a girlfriend.

But she didn't dare to lose her temper. The Su family itself is similar to her Wei family. They are both well-known families in Yucheng City, but the Su family has relatives from the Zhao family in the capital as the backing. trouble at home.

When Grandma Su approached her, her parents hoped that she would perform well and try to capture Su Cheng's heart, so that the Wei family could make further progress. Just when she thought she was about to succeed, she did not expect to meet an opponent.

She picked up the handbag on the coffee table, stood up quickly, and said to Su Cheng: "Since you have guests to entertain, then I will take my leave first." Without waiting for Su Cheng's reply, she walked out alone.

If she doesn't leave now, she is afraid that she will do something that she regrets.

"I'll see you off." Su Cheng saw that although she lost her demeanor, she still maintained the basic etiquette and did not make a bad sound in front of her. She stood up and said politely.

"No need, you can greet your friend." Wei Chaozhuang waved his hand angrily and shouted.

"Then be careful all the way." Su Cheng added.

She drove here, so she didn't have to see her off. Su Cheng looked back at Li Qiaowei, seeing her looking at him full of affection, for some reason, her mood rose.
