CHAPTER 497 - Death
Preparing for a Rainy Day?
Qin Sheng didn't go back to Jindi Furong Shijia to take his luggage. In fact, he didn't have much to bring. The siheyuan had everything, so Chang Baji and Hao Lei were already waiting for him at the entrance of the hospital after six o 'clock. Hao Lei drove them to the airport in person to save trouble.
He had not rested well for the past few days. After he got on the plane, he fell asleep immediately. An old man with gray hair sat beside Chang Baji. He took the initiative to chat with Chang Baji. Perhaps he had seen through Chang Baji's extraordinariness. Sometimes Chang Baji seemed to keep people at arm's length, but in fact, he was polite to everyone. He just didn't want to take the initiative to contact anyone.
The old man was a Beijinger who came to Xi 'an to travel. He was very interested in Zhongnan Mountain and went there for two days. Then he chatted with Chang Baji. They talked about the Buddhism and Taoism culture in Zhongnan Mountain, and then talked about the connection between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
There were only three of them in the first-class cabin. Chang Baji and the Old Master chatted happily. Even the air stewardesses could not help laughing. They all sighed that the topics discussed by cultured people were really different. In the end, they exchanged contact information with each other. The Old Master took the initiative to invite Chang Baji to visit his house when he was free after returning to Beijing.
In the hutong siheyuan on Dengshikou Street, Zhao Anzhi checked out of the Waldorf's room and returned to the Qin family's siheyuan after returning from Xi 'an with her daughter. After all, this was the ancestral house of the Qin family. It had been owned by several owners until Qin Changan made a fortune.
Every family's ancestors were once rich, and every family's ancestors had fallen. Some families would stand up again, and some would completely disappear in the torrent of history. The Qin family belonged to the former.
In the early morning, Qin Sheng was sleeping on the plane. Qin Ran and Yaya were also sleeping soundly. Yaya's original name was Qin Jing. Jing meant beauty. This name was given by Old Master Qin when he was alive. It was just that Qin Changxing and Zhao Anzhi didn't have children. Qin Changan and Qin Changxing's generation all had two-character names. When it came to Qin Ran and Qin Sheng's generation, they all had single-character names. This was the tradition of the Qin family.
Qin Ran had been in Beijing for the past few days. Last night, the sisters had gone out to play for half the night, so they were still sleeping. Qin Changan and Zhao Anzhi already had the habits of the elderly. They slept early and got up early. At this moment, the two of them had just finished their morning exercises. Qin Changan was jogging in the gym, while Zhao Anzhi was practicing Tai Chi in the yard.
The servants placed the breakfast under the pavilion in the yard. After taking a shower, the two of them sat opposite each other. Zhao Anzhi asked casually, "What time is Sheng 'er's flight?"
Qin Changan picked up the cup of soy milk and replied, "She will arrive at 10 o 'clock. I have already sent someone to pick her up." He respected his sister-in-law very much. Although she had been staying in Canada all these years, she had helped him a lot. She had maintained many relationships with his elder brother. She had been very important to him when his career had just started.
Zhao Anzhi said emotionally, "After so many years, our family is finally reunited."
"If Big Brother can come back from Mount Wutai, then we can really reunite," Qin Changan said thoughtfully.
Speaking of Qin Changxing, Zhao Anzhi was very unhappy. She said, "Changan, can we not mention him? He is a coward. He disgraced the Qin Family. Our Zhao Family is also disgraced."
"Big Sister, Big Brother also has a lot of difficulties. You have to understand him. This is his choice, and we have to respect him." Qin Changan said earnestly. He did not understand in the past. Later, he gradually understood many things. However, he knew that Big Sister had not forgiven Big Brother for so many years.
Zhao Anzhi put down the orange juice she had picked up and said, "He has difficulties? What difficulties can he have? How did we live in Canada all these years? He is happy to stay in that shabby temple alone. You don't need to say anything. If you continue, I am afraid we will quarrel again. "" Okay, okay, okay. I will stop.
Big Sister, calm down. "Qin Changan also did not know whether to laugh or cry. Every time they talked about Big Brother, they would part on bad terms. However, this time it was better. At least Big Sister could take the initiative to go to Mount Wutai to see Big Brother. This was the first time in more than 20 years, which showed that Big Brother was still in her heart. It was just that she was too resentful.
Zhao Anzhi was so angry that she lost her appetite. After drinking a glass of orange juice, she ate nothing. After a while, she frowned and said, "Changan, things have really reached the point of no return?"
The smile on Qin Changan's face froze, and then his expression looked very serious. He thought for a long time and said, "Not yet, but it is not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day. If it really comes to that, there will be no chance to make this move again."
Zhao Anzhi let out a long sigh. This was also one of the important reasons why she suddenly returned to China. It was said that prosperity leads to decline. Qin Changan's business empire could be said to have reached the peak of private enterprises today. However, the sudden crisis this time was far from as simple as she had imagined. Because the general environment was more serious, it depended on what Qin Changan would do next.
The two did not talk too much in detail. Qin Changan had been busy with this, and Zhao Anzhi had also heard a lot of news from various sources. They both knew the real situation, but they still needed to work hard step by step to know the result.
At this time, Qin Ran and Qin Jing got up. These two sisters had been sleeping in the same bed these days. It seemed that they had endless things to talk about. Qin Changan had never told Qin Ran that she had such a sister. He really hid it well. Qin Ran found her brother and had one more sister. Needless to say, she was very happy.
"Dad, Auntie, why did you get up so early?" Qin Ran went downstairs and greeted them with a smile. Recently, she had been too busy in Shanghai. These days, she went back to Beijing to relax. In particular, she enjoyed playing with her sister Qin Jing. This was a different feeling from being with her brother. The two girls could go shopping for a whole day.
Zhao Anzhi said dotingly, "When did you come back last night? In the future, come back earlier. Girls, don't be too crazy. "
Qin Jing walked over and hugged Zhao Anzhi from behind. "Mom, we only go crazy once or twice. It's not like we come back so late every night. Aren't we too happy to see our sister?"
Zhao Anzhi said helplessly, "All right, all right. Don't act like a spoiled child. Look at how sloppy you are. Go wash up, change your clothes and eat breakfast. Sheng 'er will be back soon."
Qin Ran and Qin Jing did not know that Qin Sheng would come back today. So Qin Jing said in surprise, "Brother will be back soon?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Zhao Anzhi said with a smile.
Qin Jing was so happy when she heard the news. She turned around and ran upstairs. Qin Ran walked over and asked confusedly, "Dad, is the matter in Xi 'an over? Why did you suddenly let my brother come back? "
Qin Changan shook his head and said, "The matter in Xi 'an can't be finished in a short time. After all, the trial will take a long time. But the early things should be almost done. The main purpose of letting him come back is to let our family reunite. At the same time, I have something to announce."
Qin Ran said "Oh" casually, but she was still thinking in her heart, "What is it that needs Qin Sheng to come back to announce?"
When Qin Sheng just got off the plane, in a villa community at the foot of Mount Zhongnan in Xi 'an, several men from the Tan and Zhang families gathered together to discuss how to deal with this crisis. The villa was called Xi 'an Yard. Nowadays, there were more and more villa projects with this name. But they all had one thing in common, which was that they were extremely expensive. Xi 'an Yard was close to the famous Asian Golf Course in Xi' an, so it was very suitable for these high-end people to relax on weekends.
In the living room, the elders of the Tan and Zhang families, who were over 50 years old, were sitting on the sofa. The other six young people were scattered around the living room, including Tan Feng, Tan Zhen, and Zhang Jinlei. They were the direct descendants of the two families. The other three men were cousins of the Tan and Zhang families, who had high hopes for them.
A middle-aged man with slightly white hair on the sofa scolded loudly, "Shameful, really shameful. You've completely disgraced the Tan and Zhang families. You don't deserve to be named Tan or Zhang. I really don't know how you still have the face to kneel here. Why don't you go to hell?" Who were they scolding? Of course, they were scolding Zhang Jinlei and Tan Feng, who had lost all the prestige and fame that the Tan and Zhang families had accumulated over the years.
Zhang Jinlei and Tan Feng knew that it would not take long for the whole city to know about what happened last night. Instead of letting the elders know about it passively, it was better for them to take the initiative to confess. No matter if they were beaten or scolded, they had to admit it. That was why this internal family meeting was held today.
"Old Tan, calm down, calm down. Don't be angry and harm your health." A middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him comforted him. He was relatives of the two families. He was a distant cousin of the Tan family. He was closer to the Zhang family because he was Zhang Jinlei's uncle. However, it was more of a relationship of interest. After all, he had some status in the officialdom. Naturally, the Tan and Zhang families could go so far because of him. Of course, he would be rewarded.
Zhang Jinlei's father sat on the sofa opposite him. He reprimanded with a gloomy face, "This is the result of asking me to hand over everything to you. How can I still keep my face in the future?"
Tan Feng did not dare to refute the Old Master. Zhang Jinlei said stubbornly, "There are some things that we did not expect. If you think you can solve this problem, I won't interfere in the future."
"You unfilial son." Old Zhang was so angry that he stood up and was about to beat Zhang Jinlei. The two young men next to him quickly stopped him. Although they also had the mentality of watching a joke, Zhang Jinlei and Tan Feng were used to being domineering in this big family these years. This time, they fell hard. But more than that, they were worried about the interdependence. If the Tan and Zhang families fell, they would not have a good life in the future.
Zhang Jinlei's uncle's name was Wang Shouwang. He had already retired and was working in the Provincial People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). It was said that he was also involved in the previous incident, but no one knew how he managed to escape unscathed in the end. If he had fallen, the Tan and Zhang families would be in an even more difficult situation.
"You two, tell me in detail. What on earth is going on?" Wang Shouwang said resentfully. But he knew the ability of these two juniors, which meant that the other side was not simple.
A few minutes later, Zhang Jinlei and Tan Feng told him everything, including Liu Changxi's involvement and their car accident to threaten Qin Sheng, and so on.
After listening to them, Wang Shouwang said, "You mean that the Liu family is pushing this matter?"
Zhang Jinlei added salt and vinegar. "Uncle, this is just my guess. But without the Liu family's tacit consent, Liu Changxi would not have acted recklessly."
Wang Shouwang sighed and said, "If the Liu family is really involved, this matter will be really difficult to handle."
