After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant
Chapter 057
After Wen Yibei endured the discomfort in his stomach and talked to Shi Yunnan, he fell asleep again.
Shi Yunnan walked out of the ward lightly, and saw that Luo Lingsheng was still sitting alone in the corridor waiting.
The two looked at each other, Luo Lingsheng noticed Shi Yunnan's red complex eyes, and his brows furrowed, "Yunnan, what did your brother say to you?"
Shi Yunnan approached and sat on the rest chair beside him, "... Luo Lingsheng."
"I'm here."
Luo Ling turned the wheelchair to face him, and said in a low voice, "It's almost three o'clock, are you tired?"
Shi Yunnan shook his head, "Not sleepy."
He just learned about the past from Wen Yibei's mouth, how could he still be in the mood to sleep?
Luo Lingsheng was not in a hurry to ask questions, but just quietly stayed with Shi Yunnan for a while.
I don't know how long it took before Shi Yunnan, who had collected his thoughts, opened his mouth to tell Luo Lingsheng everything.
"...This matter can't be left alone!"
Shi Yunnan took a deep breath, and the unruly 'revenge' surged out of his bones again, "There are some things, even if I don't care about them, I can't let the mother and son get them."
Luo Lingsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Shi Yunnan's thinking at all.
To put it bluntly, Shi Sheng's derailment is not worthy of forgiveness at all, and what Xie Wei did back then can be regarded as indirectly harming Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei's mothers.
What child would be indifferent?
Not to mention, Mr. Shi's blatant preference for Xie Keyue over the past ten years, and Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei's tolerance until now, can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.
"Shall I help you?" Luo Lingsheng asked.
To the Luo family, the Shi family could at best be called a fat mouse. It did have a few taels of meat, but it was not difficult to clean it up.
"No need." Shi Yunnan shook his head, "It's inevitable that you and Luo Shi will fall into the mouth once you make a move, and they will talk behind their backs in the future."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Lingsheng didn't care about this.
Shi Yunnan played with Luo Lingsheng's fingers, trying to gain some stability from it, "I just think that simply going bankrupt is too cheap for them."
His eyes were sharp, "Watching my things being taken away little by little and helpless, only in this way can the pain be maximized."
What he wanted to make Xie Keyue and Xie Wei think they had 'the chance to win' was nothing in the end!
As for Mr. Shi and Shi Sheng, father and son who are also rotten to the bone, don't they save face?Then he has to step on the opponent's face in the mud in front of everyone!
Shi Yunnan calmed down slightly, "Luo Lingsheng, my brother and I have to deal with the people from the Shi family by ourselves, so we can give my mother an excuse for being late."
"However, I need someone to help me keep an eye on Xie Wei and Shi Sheng, and check some things."
Luo Ling stated Bai Shiyunnan's thoughts and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Qin Jian to find some reliable people to help you."
"Ah."
……
half a month later.
In the banquet hall of the Royal Plaza Hotel, a glamorous banquet is about to be held.
Elder Shi leaned on his cane and looked around, his eagle-like eyes finally showed some satisfaction.
Xie Keyue, who was wearing a decent suit, hurried up to meet him, "Grandpa, why are you here so early?"
"Anyway, I'm idle at home, so why don't you come and see it early." Old Master Shi took two steps forward. Although he was 80 years old, his energy was as good as ever.
"dad."
Shi Sheng and Xie Wei came up arm in arm, with respectful expressions on their faces.
Xie Wei smiled with concern, "Look, are you satisfied with this arrangement? Is there anything you want to add? Before all the guests arrive, I'll ask the hotel to help make up for it."
Mr. Shi gave a rare affirmation, "The layout is good, and it has added a lot of pomp to our Shi family."
"That's necessary." Xie Wei's eyes showed a little pride, "Today is our Shi family's big day, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Wei was gagged by her son's eyes.
In fact, Shi's purpose for holding a banquet today is twofold——
One is to publicly recognize Xie Keyue's identity.
The second is that Mr. Shi will announce that he will completely withdraw from the management of the Shi family, and give up his position to the father and son Shi Sheng and Xie Keyue.
The reason why Xie Wei worked so hard was naturally for her own further prosperity and wealth in the future.
It's just that, before the matter is officially announced, she can't get too carried away in front of Mr. Shi.
Sure enough, the corners of Mr. Shi's lips flattened a little, and then he took on the attitude of the head of the family, "I'm old, and I'm willing to retreat behind the scenes to give Ke Yue a chance to test, but I have something to say first—"
"If you father and son dare to occupy the position and act recklessly, I still won't give you some things."
The implication is that most of Shi's property is still held in the palm of his hand.
Xie Wei looked at her husband and son, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Who else can you respect if we don't respect you? The father and son are just sharing the burden for you. If something important happens, you still have to You decide."
Mr. Shi understood Xie Wei's deliberate flattery, but he was willing to turn a blind eye and accept it.
"But the last time I failed to hide my investment from me, I will stay in Shi's for me in the future, and don't have any messy investment ideas."
In his view, Shi's logistics is the country's industry he has laid down. As long as it is well operated, it will be enough for three or four generations of children and grandchildren.
The more Xie Ke heard this, he immediately responded obediently, "Grandpa, I know, I won't mess around again."
The turmoil caused by cosmetics last time was too great. As the boss behind the scenes, Xie Keyue was almost taken away by the relevant departments and imprisoned. Mr. Shi found someone to make a connection.
As for the lost money, Xie Keyue also tried to persuade Mr. Shi in a different way, and the other party helped to repay the money without blinking. It seemed that the private treasury was sufficient.
In this way, Xie Ke became more filial and respectful to Mr. Shi on the surface.
Because what he wants is not only the position of the Shi family as the person in power, but also all of Mr. Shi's private property after a hundred years!
Xie Ke put away his thoughts and said, "Grandpa, there is a private room for one person in the side hall, why don't you go in and rest for a while? There is still some time before the banquet begins."
"Alright." Old Master Shi nodded, and suddenly asked another question, "Will the two heartless brothers be notified of this banquet?"
Hearing this question, Shi Sheng shook his head hesitantly, "Yibei has been refusing to take the initiative to contact our family. I thought that even if I send the invitation letter to Wen's house, Mr. Wen will throw it out."
"As for Yunan, I'm afraid he will make you unhappy when he comes, so..."
Shi Sheng hesitated to speak, he felt guilty about his twin sons.
It's just that Xie Wei whispered in his ears every night, and as time passed, he became less and less concerned about his two sons who had 'divorced'.
Anyway, Xie Keyue will help with the elderly in the future, so he is very relieved.
"It's fine if you don't come."
Mr. Shi agreed indifferently, the heart made of stone is harder than anyone else, in his opinion——
As the eldest grandson, Wen Yibei has stayed in the Wen family for so many years and is unwilling to come back. He has already forgotten that his roots are in the Shi family.
Shi Yunnan was even more extreme, when Shi's accident happened, he was unwilling to help, but later he got mixed up with Luo Lingsheng, he only knew that he was enjoying himself, and he didn't know how to help Shi's family in private.
Both of these brothers are white-eyed wolves with their elbows turned outward, they are worthless!
Xie Keyue and Xie Wei glanced at each other silently and quickly, the mother and child were connected, and the joy in their hearts at this moment was the same.
"Dad, let me help you in and sit down first."
"it is good."
After Shi Sheng accompanied Mr. Shi into the elegant hall, another familiar figure walked in.
Xie Keyue met Luo Yanchuan's gaze, with a playful look on his face, he took the initiative to serve two glasses of champagne, "Mom, my friend is here, I'll chat with him, you take care of the guests first."
Xie Wei followed her son's line of sight and was a little surprised when she recognized Luo Yanchuan, "Luo Yanchuan? How did you know him?"
"Xiao Yue, don't blame mom for not reminding you. This man is a playboy, didn't we plan to let him harm Shi Yunnan, that little bastard? You..."
"Mom, I know what I know."
Xie Ke left this sentence casually, unwilling to pay attention to his mother's inquiry.
Xie Wei stared at her son's back, feeling inexplicably abandoned.
She frowned slightly, and couldn't help but mumble in her mouth, "This kid, are you still bothering about the diamond necklace last time? Am I saving money for him?"
If you want her to say that Mrs. Zhao is too pretentious and fussy.
So what if it's a fake necklace?The price of 400 million is not good enough?
Xie Keyue didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he went straight to Luo Yanchuan who had suddenly visited, and he handed over the champagne in his hand, "I didn't expect that Young Master Luo would come, so I was far away to welcome you."
It's just that the tone of voice is light and fluffy, and it seems to be deliberately hooking people with a little claw.
"Third young master's happy day, how can I not come and see it?" When Luo Yanchuan took the champagne, he purposely rubbed his fingertips against the back of Xie Keyue's hand for a moment.
Xie Ke smiled more and gave him a secret wink, "It's inconvenient to have so many people here, let's chat in another place."
"of course."
The two quickly walked to the rest room in the side hall on the other side. As soon as the door was closed, each of them revealed their true faces.
Xie Ke put away his usual kind smile, and sat on the sofa comfortably, "Tell me, why did you stop talking about the cooperation with Fang for the time being?"
"Master Luo, you won't even be able to handle that little girl Mo Xuanqi's movie, right?"
Luo Yanchuan retorted, "It has nothing to do with her, it's just that Fang's auction has cooperated with your old acquaintance."
"Old acquaintance?" Xie Keyue came to his senses, "Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui?"
Luo Yanchuan approached and sat on the sofa, surrounded Xie Keyue as if he was half surrounded, "I remember, isn't Yuan Rui your friend? Why did you go back to Shi Yunnan?"
Xie Ke clenched the wine glass in his hand more tightly and squeezed out a few words, "What are you talking about him for?"
"Shi Yunnan and Fang's have cooperated. If I rush to talk about cooperation now, it will inevitably leak the news and let Luo Lingsheng know."
When Luo Yanchuan mentioned this name, his face turned ugly for a moment, and he continued to say——
"In order not to startle the enemy, I had no choice but to change the target first. Anyway, there are not only Fang's auction houses in China. The batch of mixed jade jewelry that you and Gu Jue cooperated with can be sold at a smaller auction. "
Xie Ke frowned more, and some disagreed.
"Don't worry, although the final profits of other auctions are not as good as Fang's, the level of customer connections is not as good as Fang's."
"Most of the people who participated in the small auction were nouveau riche. How could they have the ability to judge the real and fake mixed sales? As long as the money can still be earned."
In other words, less risk factor is better.
Xie Ke thought for a moment, "You can figure it out. From today onwards, I have to concentrate on staying in Shi's for a long time. I can't transfer too many external assets, so as not to arouse the old man's suspicion."
While speaking, Luo Yanchuan hooked his hands on his shoulders, "Is the third young master Xie's relationship too weak? How long have we not seen each other?"
The wine glasses collided and made a charming sound.
Xie Keyu snorted coldly, and drank the wine alone, "Didn't we meet now? I just hope that Young Master Luo will not forget his goal. Since he is an ally, I can't always contribute to some things."
The two hooked up after the cosmetics incident. To put it bluntly and indifferently, they used each other under the cover of a 'friends with benefits' relationship.
Now it is mutually beneficial to each other, so they are willing to cooperate while getting physical pleasure.
As for the future?
There are no stronger allies than money and power.
Xie Ke asked more, "The Shi family is already in my pocket, when will Young Master Luo plan to do something to the Luo family?"
"It is said that the dyke of a thousand miles is broken by ants, but if you want to bring down a behemoth, you naturally need another behemoth to come forward."
Luo Yanchuan shook his wine glass, "Hurry up, there will be a day."
……
It was almost time for the banquet to begin, and there were more and more guests in the banquet hall.
As the only hostess of this banquet, Xie Wei blithely enjoyed everyone's praise and flattery.
"Congratulations, after all these years, it's finally come to an end. When Xiaoyue takes over the Shi family and secures the power in time, you will be a legitimate lady."
Another graceful lady came over and congratulated her in a low voice, "Good days are yet to come, I'm really enviable."
This is Zhang Yun, Xie Wei's best friend for many years. Like Xie Wei, she also hooked up with a married man when she was young, and she has been a mistress for many years and successfully came to power.
Xie Wei was also happy to praise her when she heard the words, "These years, you have had a much easier life than me, unlike me who has a strong father-in-law in charge."
"What's so good about it? I can't have children..." When Zhang Yun said this, a trace of bitterness flickered in Zhang Yun's eyes, "I always feel that my family is stealing people outside behind my back."
Xie Wei's complexion changed, "You can't talk nonsense, is there any evidence?"
Zhang Yun shook her head, and brought the topic back, "It's better for you, Xiaoyue is a promising child."
"Yeah, I used to look stupid and dumb, and I don't know when I suddenly opened up, like a little child prodigy." When Xie Wei mentioned her son, she felt a little more proud.
Zhang Yun asked again, "By the way, after Wen Yibei bumped into him last time, he didn't bother you in private, did he?"
Xie Wei snorted triumphantly, "No, what's the future of that son of a bitch? I told you secretly, today is that bitch's birthday."
In the past, on this day, Shi Sheng had to hurry back to celebrate Wen Min's birthday in order to act as his 'good husband'.
"I picked this day on purpose. Even after she dies, I'll still take care of her! Let the bastard see how my son got the Shi family into his pocket on this day."
Before the lingering sound fell, the voice was as cold as frost.
"Xie Wei, are you really not afraid of retribution?"
"..."
Xie Wei turned her head and saw Shi Yunnan, she almost lost her soul in fright, she covered her beating heart, "You, why are you here? When did you come?"
"This Shi family's banquet, am I not qualified to come?" Shi Yunnan sneered, the ice in his eyes seemed to be able to frostbite someone alive.
"Seeing how serious you are talking, I'm too embarrassed to disturb you."
"..."
Xie Wei was guilty of being a thief, so she had no choice but to turn her eyes to her best friend for help.
Zhang Yun received her gaze, and said with a thorn in his mouth, "I've always heard that Second Young Master Shi is used to going abroad, and I didn't know it until I met him. You walk quietly and eavesdrop on the elders. Speech?"
Shi Yunnan sized her up and answered irrelevant questions, "Ms. Zhang Yun, I hope you will have the confidence to help your good girlfriend speak later."
Before Zhang Yun understood what he meant, there was a burst of exclamation not far away——
"Why is Mr. Wen here? He is still holding a cello? Is this going to be performed on stage?"
"Look at what you said, no matter what, Wen Yibei is the grandson of Mr. Shi, so it's not surprising that he can come to the Shi family's banquet."
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of his elder brother who had already stepped onto the stage by himself not far away, and approached with dim eyes
Xie Wei realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly dragged her best friend to follow.
At the same time, Mr. Shi and the others also stepped into the banquet hall.Xie Keyue looked at Shi Yunnan and others who came uninvited, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
Seeing his eldest grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time, old man Shi had a gleam of joy in his pupils, "Yibei, why are you here?"
Mr. Shi is a traditional and rigid person at heart. As the eldest grandson, Wen Yibei has been sensible and smart since he was a child. He has always been partial to him.
However, later Wen Yibei chose the Wen family without looking back, and was unwilling to visit the Shi family all the year round.Old Master Shi felt chilled, and became more and more unhappy over the years.
Shi Yunnan who was ignored didn't feel too embarrassed, just watched quietly——
Let him say, if Wen Yibei was the one who stayed in Shi's family back then, and the other party had enough ability to protect himself and was willing to please, the old man's partiality over the years might not necessarily be towards Xie Keyue.
Wen Yibei put down the cello, and walked down from the stage, "Grandpa, long time no see, how are you? I've been too busy abroad these years, and I'm really sorry for Shi's grandson status."
Hearing this, Shi Yunnan silently gave his brother a thumbs up in his heart.
These words sounded gentle and polite, and he deliberately pronounced the word 'eldest grandson' very clearly in public, clearly to remind everyone.
Old Master Shi naturally recognized some knowledge, but looking at his tall, thin and handsome grandson, he still gave him some face, "Yibei, why are you here suddenly?"
"I heard that Mrs. Shi invited a lot of guests for a banquet today, so I purposely took a look at it with Yun Nan when we have nothing to do."
Wen Yibei still maintained a gentle smile, and glanced at Shi Sheng again, "Grandpa, Dad, you won't be unwelcome, right?"
Shi Yunnan followed suit, "Brother, how could grandpa and dad not welcome us? I'm afraid it's someone else..."
He paused before he could speak, and pointed his eyes brightly at Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, the mother and son.
Xie Wei saw that Shi Yunnan did it on purpose, and she was even more afraid that they would do something wrong, so she was so angry that she almost blurted out the three words 'not welcome'.
In the next second, Xie Keyue spoke out first, "Brother is free to come to the banquet at home, we are all very happy."
It's good that the two brothers are here.
After all, no one can easily change the decision made by Mr. Shi. In this case, just in front of their announcement——
Xie Keyue is the third young master of the Shi family, and he will manage the Shi family from today on.
Step on the enemy openly?Thinking about this taste makes me feel happy!
Thinking about it further, if Shi Yunnan disagreed with Mr. Shi's decision, a tearful quarrel would be unavoidable later.
In this way, Mr. Shi's heart was broken, and it would be even more impossible for Shi's private property to fall into the hands of the two of them in the future. He is the biggest winner anyway.
"Grandpa?" Wen Yibei reminded.
Mr. Shi cares about face. Even if the family relationship is tainted, he will not show it in front of outsiders. "It would be nice if both of you brothers could come."
Soon, some guests asked, "The young master brought an instrument, is this going to be played?"
Wen Yibei glanced at his younger brother, he was still gentle and decent, "Yes, I'll add to the fun for everyone at the beginning."
Xie Wei didn't want Wen Yibei to steal the limelight from her son, so she stopped her with a smile, "Isn't it necessary? I arranged an opening performance for everyone."
"Yibei finally came here, the visitor is a guest, so don't bother?"
"Aunt Xie was joking, I would be happy to play at her own banquet."
Wen Yibei blocked it nonchalantly, and left the decision to Mr. Shi, "Besides, Grandpa didn't say anything. Aunt Xie, why are you so anxious?"
Xie Wei was blocked.
Compared to the perverse Shi Yunnan, Mr. Shi is indeed more inclined to the gentle and measured Wen Yibei.
Probably because it's been too long since I heard the other party address each other as 'Grandpa'. At this moment, Mr. Shi softened his heart, "Well, it's a good thing you have this kind of heart. Since all the guests want to hear it, let's spend some time playing it. .”
Wen Yibei smiled and calmly stepped onto the stage.
All eyes followed him.
Shi Yunnan silently took a glass of champagne, and looked past Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, the mother and son with hidden needles——
Just wait, the fun has just begun.
The cello was adjusted in advance, and Wen Yibei started his own performance after a little preparation.
The melodious and soothing melody slides down from the strings, very light and soft, and the delicate emotions seem to sway from the depths of the soul, causing the emotions of everyone present to fluctuate.
"On a good day, how can you play such a sad tune?"
Xie Wei took two steps forward, and in front of Mr. Shi, she deliberately exaggerated and muttered this sentence.
But what she didn't expect was that the moment the words fell to the ground, the chords on the stage turned, and the slow music suddenly became a little more cheerful.
"Aunt Xie, have you never been to a large concert hall before? Why don't you understand any etiquette?"
Shi Yunnan retorted with a half-smile, "Don't comment casually until the song is finished. There are so many guests present, you are easy to make jokes."
Mr. Shi originally hated Xie Wei's pettiness for not being able to get on the stage, so he immediately glared at her, his displeasure palpable.
The performance on the stage continued, and the finely beating notes fell on Xie Wei's face like an invisible slap, making her dare not speak casually anymore.
The song is over.
The audience applauded enthusiastically, followed by praise.
"Mr. Wen's cello sound is also wonderful."
"Being able to hear the performance of the young master, today's trip is not in vain."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Shi still has the ability, and the three young masters in this family each have their own demeanor."
Shi Yunnan approached and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, what do you think of Brother's performance?"
Without the previous tense target, Shi Yunnan is really like a well-behaved child discussing performance art with his family.
Mr. Shi examined his abnormal performance, but followed up the conversation, "Well, Yibei's performance is naturally nothing to say."
After all, no matter how unhappy Shi Yunnan made him at the beginning, Wen Yibei's performance really made him look good now.
Seeing that his father had already expressed his opinion, Shi Sheng also said nicely, "You and Yibei's music skills have followed your mother's, I..."
"Is the sun coming out from the west? So you still remember your ex-wife?" Shi Yunnan interrupted to taunt.
"..."
Shi Sheng couldn't react.
Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei on the stage met eyes, and continued, "It's hard to blame Aunt Xie for choosing today."
"The Shi family's banquet is so lively, it should be my mother's birthday."
Mr. Shi did not expect this time at all. After hearing Shi Yunnan's deliberately provocative words, he was startled and then angry, "Shi Yunnan, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how to measure!"
Suddenly, Wen Yibei on the stage snapped, "By the way, everyone still doesn't know the title of the piece I played just now, right?"
His voice lost its gentleness at the beginning, and it was obviously cold and hard with thorns.
"The first half is selected from "Mother", and the second half is selected from "Canon in D Major". The first half is naturally to commemorate the deceased mother of our two brothers today. As for the second half..."
After a deliberate pause, a guest present responded, ""Canon"? Why does it sound so familiar to me?"
Shi Yunnan raised his lips, "Of course it sounds familiar, this famous song is the most played at funerals abroad."
"..."
After reacting, Mr. Shi and the others suddenly froze.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, and the guests present finally fully realized that something was wrong——
Play funeral songs at Shi's banquet?
Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan, brothers, are too ruthless and ruthless in tearing things down!
The author has something to say: #兄弟两: Is this still a must?The fun is yet to come :)
Shi Yunnan walked out of the ward lightly, and saw that Luo Lingsheng was still sitting alone in the corridor waiting.
The two looked at each other, Luo Lingsheng noticed Shi Yunnan's red complex eyes, and his brows furrowed, "Yunnan, what did your brother say to you?"
Shi Yunnan approached and sat on the rest chair beside him, "... Luo Lingsheng."
"I'm here."
Luo Ling turned the wheelchair to face him, and said in a low voice, "It's almost three o'clock, are you tired?"
Shi Yunnan shook his head, "Not sleepy."
He just learned about the past from Wen Yibei's mouth, how could he still be in the mood to sleep?
Luo Lingsheng was not in a hurry to ask questions, but just quietly stayed with Shi Yunnan for a while.
I don't know how long it took before Shi Yunnan, who had collected his thoughts, opened his mouth to tell Luo Lingsheng everything.
"...This matter can't be left alone!"
Shi Yunnan took a deep breath, and the unruly 'revenge' surged out of his bones again, "There are some things, even if I don't care about them, I can't let the mother and son get them."
Luo Lingsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Shi Yunnan's thinking at all.
To put it bluntly, Shi Sheng's derailment is not worthy of forgiveness at all, and what Xie Wei did back then can be regarded as indirectly harming Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei's mothers.
What child would be indifferent?
Not to mention, Mr. Shi's blatant preference for Xie Keyue over the past ten years, and Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei's tolerance until now, can be regarded as the utmost benevolence.
"Shall I help you?" Luo Lingsheng asked.
To the Luo family, the Shi family could at best be called a fat mouse. It did have a few taels of meat, but it was not difficult to clean it up.
"No need." Shi Yunnan shook his head, "It's inevitable that you and Luo Shi will fall into the mouth once you make a move, and they will talk behind their backs in the future."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Lingsheng didn't care about this.
Shi Yunnan played with Luo Lingsheng's fingers, trying to gain some stability from it, "I just think that simply going bankrupt is too cheap for them."
His eyes were sharp, "Watching my things being taken away little by little and helpless, only in this way can the pain be maximized."
What he wanted to make Xie Keyue and Xie Wei think they had 'the chance to win' was nothing in the end!
As for Mr. Shi and Shi Sheng, father and son who are also rotten to the bone, don't they save face?Then he has to step on the opponent's face in the mud in front of everyone!
Shi Yunnan calmed down slightly, "Luo Lingsheng, my brother and I have to deal with the people from the Shi family by ourselves, so we can give my mother an excuse for being late."
"However, I need someone to help me keep an eye on Xie Wei and Shi Sheng, and check some things."
Luo Ling stated Bai Shiyunnan's thoughts and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Qin Jian to find some reliable people to help you."
"Ah."
……
half a month later.
In the banquet hall of the Royal Plaza Hotel, a glamorous banquet is about to be held.
Elder Shi leaned on his cane and looked around, his eagle-like eyes finally showed some satisfaction.
Xie Keyue, who was wearing a decent suit, hurried up to meet him, "Grandpa, why are you here so early?"
"Anyway, I'm idle at home, so why don't you come and see it early." Old Master Shi took two steps forward. Although he was 80 years old, his energy was as good as ever.
"dad."
Shi Sheng and Xie Wei came up arm in arm, with respectful expressions on their faces.
Xie Wei smiled with concern, "Look, are you satisfied with this arrangement? Is there anything you want to add? Before all the guests arrive, I'll ask the hotel to help make up for it."
Mr. Shi gave a rare affirmation, "The layout is good, and it has added a lot of pomp to our Shi family."
"That's necessary." Xie Wei's eyes showed a little pride, "Today is our Shi family's big day, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Wei was gagged by her son's eyes.

Sure enough, the corners of Mr. Shi's lips flattened a little, and then he took on the attitude of the head of the family, "I'm old, and I'm willing to retreat behind the scenes to give Ke Yue a chance to test, but I have something to say first—"
"If you father and son dare to occupy the position and act recklessly, I still won't give you some things."
The implication is that most of Shi's property is still held in the palm of his hand.
Xie Wei looked at her husband and son, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Who else can you respect if we don't respect you? The father and son are just sharing the burden for you. If something important happens, you still have to You decide."
Mr. Shi understood Xie Wei's deliberate flattery, but he was willing to turn a blind eye and accept it.
"But the last time I failed to hide my investment from me, I will stay in Shi's for me in the future, and don't have any messy investment ideas."
In his view, Shi's logistics is the country's industry he has laid down. As long as it is well operated, it will be enough for three or four generations of children and grandchildren.
The more Xie Ke heard this, he immediately responded obediently, "Grandpa, I know, I won't mess around again."
The turmoil caused by cosmetics last time was too great. As the boss behind the scenes, Xie Keyue was almost taken away by the relevant departments and imprisoned. Mr. Shi found someone to make a connection.

"As for Yunan, I'm afraid he will make you unhappy when he comes, so..."
Shi Sheng hesitated to speak, he felt guilty about his twin sons.
It's just that Xie Wei whispered in his ears every night, and as time passed, he became less and less concerned about his two sons who had 'divorced'.
Anyway, Xie Keyue will help with the elderly in the future, so he is very relieved.
"It's fine if you don't come."
Mr. Shi agreed indifferently, the heart made of stone is harder than anyone else, in his opinion——
As the eldest grandson, Wen Yibei has stayed in the Wen family for so many years and is unwilling to come back. He has already forgotten that his roots are in the Shi family.
Shi Yunnan was even more extreme, when Shi's accident happened, he was unwilling to help, but later he got mixed up with Luo Lingsheng, he only knew that he was enjoying himself, and he didn't know how to help Shi's family in private.
Both of these brothers are white-eyed wolves with their elbows turned outward, they are worthless!
Xie Keyue and Xie Wei glanced at each other silently and quickly, the mother and child were connected, and the joy in their hearts at this moment was the same.
"Dad, let me help you in and sit down first."
"it is good."
After Shi Sheng accompanied Mr. Shi into the elegant hall, another familiar figure walked in.
Xie Keyue met Luo Yanchuan's gaze, with a playful look on his face, he took the initiative to serve two glasses of champagne, "Mom, my friend is here, I'll chat with him, you take care of the guests first."
Xie Wei followed her son's line of sight and was a little surprised when she recognized Luo Yanchuan, "Luo Yanchuan? How did you know him?"
"Xiao Yue, don't blame mom for not reminding you. This man is a playboy, didn't we plan to let him harm Shi Yunnan, that little bastard? You..."
"Mom, I know what I know."
Xie Ke left this sentence casually, unwilling to pay attention to his mother's inquiry.
Xie Wei stared at her son's back, feeling inexplicably abandoned.
She frowned slightly, and couldn't help but mumble in her mouth, "This kid, are you still bothering about the diamond necklace last time? Am I saving money for him?"
If you want her to say that Mrs. Zhao is too pretentious and fussy.
So what if it's a fake necklace?The price of 400 million is not good enough?
Xie Keyue didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he went straight to Luo Yanchuan who had suddenly visited, and he handed over the champagne in his hand, "I didn't expect that Young Master Luo would come, so I was far away to welcome you."
It's just that the tone of voice is light and fluffy, and it seems to be deliberately hooking people with a little claw.
"Third young master's happy day, how can I not come and see it?" When Luo Yanchuan took the champagne, he purposely rubbed his fingertips against the back of Xie Keyue's hand for a moment.
Xie Ke smiled more and gave him a secret wink, "It's inconvenient to have so many people here, let's chat in another place."
"of course."
The two quickly walked to the rest room in the side hall on the other side. As soon as the door was closed, each of them revealed their true faces.
Xie Ke put away his usual kind smile, and sat on the sofa comfortably, "Tell me, why did you stop talking about the cooperation with Fang for the time being?"
"Master Luo, you won't even be able to handle that little girl Mo Xuanqi's movie, right?"
Luo Yanchuan retorted, "It has nothing to do with her, it's just that Fang's auction has cooperated with your old acquaintance."
"Old acquaintance?" Xie Keyue came to his senses, "Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui?"
Luo Yanchuan approached and sat on the sofa, surrounded Xie Keyue as if he was half surrounded, "I remember, isn't Yuan Rui your friend? Why did you go back to Shi Yunnan?"
Xie Ke clenched the wine glass in his hand more tightly and squeezed out a few words, "What are you talking about him for?"
"Shi Yunnan and Fang's have cooperated. If I rush to talk about cooperation now, it will inevitably leak the news and let Luo Lingsheng know."
When Luo Yanchuan mentioned this name, his face turned ugly for a moment, and he continued to say——
"In order not to startle the enemy, I had no choice but to change the target first. Anyway, there are not only Fang's auction houses in China. The batch of mixed jade jewelry that you and Gu Jue cooperated with can be sold at a smaller auction. "
Xie Ke frowned more, and some disagreed.
"Don't worry, although the final profits of other auctions are not as good as Fang's, the level of customer connections is not as good as Fang's."
"Most of the people who participated in the small auction were nouveau riche. How could they have the ability to judge the real and fake mixed sales? As long as the money can still be earned."
In other words, less risk factor is better.
Xie Ke thought for a moment, "You can figure it out. From today onwards, I have to concentrate on staying in Shi's for a long time. I can't transfer too many external assets, so as not to arouse the old man's suspicion."
While speaking, Luo Yanchuan hooked his hands on his shoulders, "Is the third young master Xie's relationship too weak? How long have we not seen each other?"
The wine glasses collided and made a charming sound.
Xie Keyu snorted coldly, and drank the wine alone, "Didn't we meet now? I just hope that Young Master Luo will not forget his goal. Since he is an ally, I can't always contribute to some things."
The two hooked up after the cosmetics incident. To put it bluntly and indifferently, they used each other under the cover of a 'friends with benefits' relationship.
Now it is mutually beneficial to each other, so they are willing to cooperate while getting physical pleasure.
As for the future?
There are no stronger allies than money and power.
Xie Ke asked more, "The Shi family is already in my pocket, when will Young Master Luo plan to do something to the Luo family?"
"It is said that the dyke of a thousand miles is broken by ants, but if you want to bring down a behemoth, you naturally need another behemoth to come forward."
Luo Yanchuan shook his wine glass, "Hurry up, there will be a day."
……
It was almost time for the banquet to begin, and there were more and more guests in the banquet hall.
As the only hostess of this banquet, Xie Wei blithely enjoyed everyone's praise and flattery.
"Congratulations, after all these years, it's finally come to an end. When Xiaoyue takes over the Shi family and secures the power in time, you will be a legitimate lady."
Another graceful lady came over and congratulated her in a low voice, "Good days are yet to come, I'm really enviable."
This is Zhang Yun, Xie Wei's best friend for many years. Like Xie Wei, she also hooked up with a married man when she was young, and she has been a mistress for many years and successfully came to power.
Xie Wei was also happy to praise her when she heard the words, "These years, you have had a much easier life than me, unlike me who has a strong father-in-law in charge."
"What's so good about it? I can't have children..." When Zhang Yun said this, a trace of bitterness flickered in Zhang Yun's eyes, "I always feel that my family is stealing people outside behind my back."
Xie Wei's complexion changed, "You can't talk nonsense, is there any evidence?"
Zhang Yun shook her head, and brought the topic back, "It's better for you, Xiaoyue is a promising child."
"Yeah, I used to look stupid and dumb, and I don't know when I suddenly opened up, like a little child prodigy." When Xie Wei mentioned her son, she felt a little more proud.
Zhang Yun asked again, "By the way, after Wen Yibei bumped into him last time, he didn't bother you in private, did he?"
Xie Wei snorted triumphantly, "No, what's the future of that son of a bitch? I told you secretly, today is that bitch's birthday."
In the past, on this day, Shi Sheng had to hurry back to celebrate Wen Min's birthday in order to act as his 'good husband'.
"I picked this day on purpose. Even after she dies, I'll still take care of her! Let the bastard see how my son got the Shi family into his pocket on this day."
Before the lingering sound fell, the voice was as cold as frost.
"Xie Wei, are you really not afraid of retribution?"
"..."
Xie Wei turned her head and saw Shi Yunnan, she almost lost her soul in fright, she covered her beating heart, "You, why are you here? When did you come?"
"This Shi family's banquet, am I not qualified to come?" Shi Yunnan sneered, the ice in his eyes seemed to be able to frostbite someone alive.
"Seeing how serious you are talking, I'm too embarrassed to disturb you."
"..."
Xie Wei was guilty of being a thief, so she had no choice but to turn her eyes to her best friend for help.
Zhang Yun received her gaze, and said with a thorn in his mouth, "I've always heard that Second Young Master Shi is used to going abroad, and I didn't know it until I met him. You walk quietly and eavesdrop on the elders. Speech?"
Shi Yunnan sized her up and answered irrelevant questions, "Ms. Zhang Yun, I hope you will have the confidence to help your good girlfriend speak later."
Before Zhang Yun understood what he meant, there was a burst of exclamation not far away——
"Why is Mr. Wen here? He is still holding a cello? Is this going to be performed on stage?"
"Look at what you said, no matter what, Wen Yibei is the grandson of Mr. Shi, so it's not surprising that he can come to the Shi family's banquet."
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of his elder brother who had already stepped onto the stage by himself not far away, and approached with dim eyes
Xie Wei realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly dragged her best friend to follow.
At the same time, Mr. Shi and the others also stepped into the banquet hall.Xie Keyue looked at Shi Yunnan and others who came uninvited, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
Seeing his eldest grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time, old man Shi had a gleam of joy in his pupils, "Yibei, why are you here?"
Mr. Shi is a traditional and rigid person at heart. As the eldest grandson, Wen Yibei has been sensible and smart since he was a child. He has always been partial to him.
However, later Wen Yibei chose the Wen family without looking back, and was unwilling to visit the Shi family all the year round.Old Master Shi felt chilled, and became more and more unhappy over the years.
Shi Yunnan who was ignored didn't feel too embarrassed, just watched quietly——
Let him say, if Wen Yibei was the one who stayed in Shi's family back then, and the other party had enough ability to protect himself and was willing to please, the old man's partiality over the years might not necessarily be towards Xie Keyue.
Wen Yibei put down the cello, and walked down from the stage, "Grandpa, long time no see, how are you? I've been too busy abroad these years, and I'm really sorry for Shi's grandson status."
Hearing this, Shi Yunnan silently gave his brother a thumbs up in his heart.
These words sounded gentle and polite, and he deliberately pronounced the word 'eldest grandson' very clearly in public, clearly to remind everyone.
Old Master Shi naturally recognized some knowledge, but looking at his tall, thin and handsome grandson, he still gave him some face, "Yibei, why are you here suddenly?"
"I heard that Mrs. Shi invited a lot of guests for a banquet today, so I purposely took a look at it with Yun Nan when we have nothing to do."
Wen Yibei still maintained a gentle smile, and glanced at Shi Sheng again, "Grandpa, Dad, you won't be unwelcome, right?"
Shi Yunnan followed suit, "Brother, how could grandpa and dad not welcome us? I'm afraid it's someone else..."
He paused before he could speak, and pointed his eyes brightly at Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, the mother and son.
Xie Wei saw that Shi Yunnan did it on purpose, and she was even more afraid that they would do something wrong, so she was so angry that she almost blurted out the three words 'not welcome'.
In the next second, Xie Keyue spoke out first, "Brother is free to come to the banquet at home, we are all very happy."
It's good that the two brothers are here.
After all, no one can easily change the decision made by Mr. Shi. In this case, just in front of their announcement——
Xie Keyue is the third young master of the Shi family, and he will manage the Shi family from today on.
Step on the enemy openly?Thinking about this taste makes me feel happy!
Thinking about it further, if Shi Yunnan disagreed with Mr. Shi's decision, a tearful quarrel would be unavoidable later.
In this way, Mr. Shi's heart was broken, and it would be even more impossible for Shi's private property to fall into the hands of the two of them in the future. He is the biggest winner anyway.
"Grandpa?" Wen Yibei reminded.
Mr. Shi cares about face. Even if the family relationship is tainted, he will not show it in front of outsiders. "It would be nice if both of you brothers could come."
Soon, some guests asked, "The young master brought an instrument, is this going to be played?"
Wen Yibei glanced at his younger brother, he was still gentle and decent, "Yes, I'll add to the fun for everyone at the beginning."
Xie Wei didn't want Wen Yibei to steal the limelight from her son, so she stopped her with a smile, "Isn't it necessary? I arranged an opening performance for everyone."
"Yibei finally came here, the visitor is a guest, so don't bother?"
"Aunt Xie was joking, I would be happy to play at her own banquet."
Wen Yibei blocked it nonchalantly, and left the decision to Mr. Shi, "Besides, Grandpa didn't say anything. Aunt Xie, why are you so anxious?"
Xie Wei was blocked.
Compared to the perverse Shi Yunnan, Mr. Shi is indeed more inclined to the gentle and measured Wen Yibei.
Probably because it's been too long since I heard the other party address each other as 'Grandpa'. At this moment, Mr. Shi softened his heart, "Well, it's a good thing you have this kind of heart. Since all the guests want to hear it, let's spend some time playing it. .”
Wen Yibei smiled and calmly stepped onto the stage.
All eyes followed him.
Shi Yunnan silently took a glass of champagne, and looked past Xie Wei and Xie Keyue, the mother and son with hidden needles——
Just wait, the fun has just begun.
The cello was adjusted in advance, and Wen Yibei started his own performance after a little preparation.
The melodious and soothing melody slides down from the strings, very light and soft, and the delicate emotions seem to sway from the depths of the soul, causing the emotions of everyone present to fluctuate.
"On a good day, how can you play such a sad tune?"
Xie Wei took two steps forward, and in front of Mr. Shi, she deliberately exaggerated and muttered this sentence.
But what she didn't expect was that the moment the words fell to the ground, the chords on the stage turned, and the slow music suddenly became a little more cheerful.
"Aunt Xie, have you never been to a large concert hall before? Why don't you understand any etiquette?"
Shi Yunnan retorted with a half-smile, "Don't comment casually until the song is finished. There are so many guests present, you are easy to make jokes."
Mr. Shi originally hated Xie Wei's pettiness for not being able to get on the stage, so he immediately glared at her, his displeasure palpable.
The performance on the stage continued, and the finely beating notes fell on Xie Wei's face like an invisible slap, making her dare not speak casually anymore.
The song is over.
The audience applauded enthusiastically, followed by praise.
"Mr. Wen's cello sound is also wonderful."
"Being able to hear the performance of the young master, today's trip is not in vain."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Shi still has the ability, and the three young masters in this family each have their own demeanor."
Shi Yunnan approached and asked, "Grandpa, Dad, what do you think of Brother's performance?"
Without the previous tense target, Shi Yunnan is really like a well-behaved child discussing performance art with his family.
Mr. Shi examined his abnormal performance, but followed up the conversation, "Well, Yibei's performance is naturally nothing to say."
After all, no matter how unhappy Shi Yunnan made him at the beginning, Wen Yibei's performance really made him look good now.
Seeing that his father had already expressed his opinion, Shi Sheng also said nicely, "You and Yibei's music skills have followed your mother's, I..."
"Is the sun coming out from the west? So you still remember your ex-wife?" Shi Yunnan interrupted to taunt.
"..."
Shi Sheng couldn't react.
Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei on the stage met eyes, and continued, "It's hard to blame Aunt Xie for choosing today."
"The Shi family's banquet is so lively, it should be my mother's birthday."
Mr. Shi did not expect this time at all. After hearing Shi Yunnan's deliberately provocative words, he was startled and then angry, "Shi Yunnan, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how to measure!"
Suddenly, Wen Yibei on the stage snapped, "By the way, everyone still doesn't know the title of the piece I played just now, right?"
His voice lost its gentleness at the beginning, and it was obviously cold and hard with thorns.
"The first half is selected from "Mother", and the second half is selected from "Canon in D Major". The first half is naturally to commemorate the deceased mother of our two brothers today. As for the second half..."
After a deliberate pause, a guest present responded, ""Canon"? Why does it sound so familiar to me?"
Shi Yunnan raised his lips, "Of course it sounds familiar, this famous song is the most played at funerals abroad."
"..."
After reacting, Mr. Shi and the others suddenly froze.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, and the guests present finally fully realized that something was wrong——
Play funeral songs at Shi's banquet?
Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan, brothers, are too ruthless and ruthless in tearing things down!
The author has something to say: #兄弟两: Is this still a must?The fun is yet to come :)
