"Bastard, I don't care what you want to do. Stop all your activities immediately and come to Yuezhou to see me."
On the phone, Zhao Yinan flew into a rage and hung up without waiting for Zhao Shu to speak.
In the luxuriously decorated room, Zhao Shu sat on the sofa with a faint smile on his face. Holding the phone that had been hung up, he whispered, "Father, do you finally want to see me? But, sorry, it's not the time for us to meet. After I avenge my grandma and help you reach the peak of power, it will be the time for us to meet again. "
"Shu, I'm sorry. There are too many things to do in the company, and I didn't have dinner with you. I came back immediately after I finished my work. You have been away for several years. You are finally back. You won't leave this time, right?"
A rather handsome middle-aged man pushed the door and walked in. He looked at Zhao Shu and said with a smile.
"Uncle, please sit down. I'm afraid I can't. I came back this time because the professor has a project to carry out in Shenzhou. I also took the opportunity to go home and have a look. I have to go to pay my respects to my grandma's grave tomorrow."
Zhao Shu hurriedly stood up and asked the middle-aged man to sit down on the sofa. He said apologetically while making tea.
"Alas! You have graduated. Why are you still staying abroad? You know, Xin 'er and Jingjing are both troublesome. They are not suitable for business. You'd better come back to help me. After two years, when you are familiar with the company's business, I will step down and let you manage the company. "
Zhao Tianli rubbed his temples tiredly and said with sincerity.
Zhao Shu passed the brewed tea to Zhao Tianli and said with a smile, "Uncle, you've found the wrong person. I'm not made for business. Brother Xin and Sister Jing are both first-class talents. Which one of them isn't better than me?"
Zhao Tianli took a sip of tea and became angry when he heard this. He said angrily, "Talents? What's the use of a talent? His mind is not on the family business at all. Xin 'er insists on staying in Ninghai to be a medical examiner and faces dead people all day long. How can he have a future? Jingjing is still young, and she didn't come back until the New Year. I don't know who instigated her to come back and criticize us as soon as she came back. She said some inexplicable words, which almost made me die of anger. Neither of these two children is easy to worry about. "
"Haha, Big Uncle, I also heard from Big Aunt that Sister Jing is still young, and her ability to distinguish between right and wrong is not strong. In addition, she has never left home before, so it is normal for her to be deceived. She is just stuck in a dead end for a moment, and with her intelligence, she will soon come around."
Zhao Shu said with a smile.
He did not expect that Zhao Jingjing would associate him sending people to attack Ding Qianlie and others with the Zhao Family. As soon as she came back, she threw a tantrum, which made First Uncle and First Aunt so angry that they kept scolding her as an ungrateful wretch.
"Alas, it is also my fault that your Big Aunt and I have spoiled this child. She is so lawless. I haven't said a few words to her, but she lost her temper and smashed my favorite blue and white porcelain, which is from the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Tianli's mouth twitched painfully. He was usually very busy and had no other hobbies. Antique calligraphy and painting were his only hobby in his spare time.
There were only dozens of blue and white porcelain from the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty in the world, but they were his favorite. He had spent a lot of money to buy them and put them in his study as a treasure. He did not expect that his baby daughter would kick them to pieces. He did not know where this girl got such great strength.
"Well, Big Uncle, don't argue with Sister Jing. When she comes around, it will be fine."
Zhao Shu relaxed all over and said with a smile.
In this family, although his father, Zhao Yinan, was a powerful governor, he was old-fashioned and strict. He never showed favoritism to others, so the Zhao Family did not benefit much from him.
Zhao Tianli's contributions could not go unnoticed for the Zhao Family in Zhoujiang to develop to its current scale and become the business leader of Zhe Province. Therefore, in the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianli's reputation far exceeded that of Zhao Yinan.
But it had to be said that even if Zhao Yinan didn't show favoritism, his position was still there, and it was an invisible deterrent to the outside world, which allowed Zhao Tianli to smoothly expand the territory. In addition to marrying Yao Lina, the daughter of the Yao family, the strong joined forces, and the husband and wife were of one heart. In just a short span of ten years, the Zhao family's influence had spread from a prefectural city in Zhoujiang to the entire Zhe Province, and became the well-deserved leader of the four big families.
Although Zhao Tianli had a very high business talent, he was not arrogant. He doted on his children since they were young, but he did not spoil them. He had his own funny character. Compared with his father, Zhao Yinan, Zhao Shu preferred to get along with his Big Uncle.
"Shu, I heard from Junbo that you went to visit him today?"
With a smile on his face, Zhao Tianli changed the topic and asked as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Shu was still smiling and nodded as if nothing had happened. "Yes, I haven't been back for several years. This time, I came back in a hurry and had limited time. I didn't have time to visit the elders who are on good terms with the Zhao Family. On my way back, I happened to pass by the Governor's Mansion, so I went to visit Uncle Junbo."
"Oh, not bad. Junbo has taken great care of our Zhao Family these years. I am very pleased that you thought of visiting him."
Zhao Tianli patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder and said with a happy face.
But he sighed in his heart. This child, after all, still couldn't let go of his grandmother's past. He deliberately went against the Su Family.
But he could not blame him. After all, when this child was young, Zhao Yinan was busy with work all day and moved around with promotions. He grew up with his grandmother and was the closest to her.
As the head of the Zhao Family, how could he not know what happened in Zhou Jiang? But he did not think much about it. He just thought that Zhao Shu encountered this matter and deliberately made things difficult for the Su Family.
From the perspective of a businessman, it was extremely unwise to go against the Su Family like this. But from the perspective of a relative, it was not a big deal to make things difficult for the Su Family on his own land.
Therefore, although he was well aware that Zhao Shu was behind all of this, he did not point it out. He purposely mentioned this matter in hopes that Zhao Shu would stop before going too far and not completely provoke the Su family.
"He is an elder and also the official of Zhou Jiang. As a junior, I should visit him."
Zhao Shu's face was full of a humble smile, as if he did not hear the hidden meaning in Zhao Tianli's words, and his answer was watertight.
"Hey! Well, you have also grown up. I believe that you have a sense of propriety. It's getting late, you should also rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to visit your grandmother. "
Zhao Tianli sighed and said as he stood up.
"Uncle, it's okay. There are so many things to do in the company. You go ahead with your work. I want to talk to my grandmother alone, but it's a pity that I came back in a hurry this time and have no time to visit my uncle."
Zhao Shu stood up to see him off and politely refused. Then he said with some regret.
"Well, if you want to talk to your grandmother alone, I will not disturb you. Your uncle is not in good health and has been recuperating in the countryside. This time you came back too short. Next time you come back, you must visit him, or your uncle will scold you for being heartless again."
Zhao Tianli waved his hand with a smile and said jokingly.
"Next time I come back, I will visit my uncle. Although I have no time this time, I have prepared a gift for him and sent it to him."
Zhao Shu's face showed a touch of softness and said solemnly.
Because his uncle was expelled from the Zhao Family because he protected his grandmother, he was grateful and respected his uncle from the bottom of his heart. Every year, he would send gifts from abroad to the old man.
"It's good that you have this intention. Brother-in-law will understand you. Well, it's getting late. You've been rushing all the way. Go to bed early. Let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning."
Zhao Tianli smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to see him off, and strode out of the door.
"Okay, uncle, take care."
Zhao Shu said respectfully, but there was a touch of apology in his eyes.
Brother-in-law and Zhao Tianli's family were all good people. However, in order to avenge his grandmother, they would inevitably be involved. This was a situation that he did not want to see, but he had no other choice. He could only do his best to reduce the Zhao family's loss to the minimum.
"Dad, have you visited cousin Shu?"
In a clean and elegant two-story building of the Zhao Family, Zhao Jingjing sat on the bed with a big teddy doll in her arms. She opened her mouth and took a sip of the bird's nest and lotus seed soup fed by her loving mother. She stared at Zhao Tianli, who was sitting on the sofa in silence, and asked vaguely.
"Yes, I have."
Zhao Tianli replied absent-mindedly.
"Child, can't you wait until you swallow it before you speak? What if you choke?"
Yao Lina took a tissue and wiped Zhao Jingjing's mouth with a face full of rebuke.
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I have hands and feet. Can't I drink by myself?"
Zhao Jingjing said helplessly.
"No, you've been gone for half a year. I miss you so much. What's wrong with feeding you? I'm your mother. Do you dislike me after you go out to school for a semester?"
Yao Lina was not like Zhao Tianli. Not only did she dote on her, but she also spoiled her, especially Zhao Jingjing, the genius daughter who had earned her a lot of face in the family. She was really afraid that she would melt in her mouth and fall in her hands. Hearing this, she immediately burst into tears with a face full of hidden bitterness.
"Alright, alright. Just feed me, alright?"
Zhao Jingjing had no way to deal with her mother, who was both coquettish and cute. She could only raise her hands to surrender, as if she had no ability to take care of herself, and let her be fed.
Yao Lina immediately beamed with joy and continued to feed her baby daughter. The speed at which her face changed was so fast that Zhao Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Little Shu still can't let go of her aunt's past."
Zhao Tianli took out a cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, he remembered that this was his baby daughter's boudoir, so he smacked his lips and put it back.
"Dad, if you want to smoke, just smoke. I'm fine."
Seeing that her father wanted to smoke but couldn't, Zhao Jingjing said generously.
"Smoke what? The newspaper said that second-hand smoke is the most likely to get cancer. It's fine if you smoke yourself to death, but don't harm my baby daughter."
Seeing that Zhao Tianli actually took out a lighter happily and was about to light it, Yao Lina immediately put on a straight face and reprimanded him fiercely.
"I …"
Zhao Tianli looked at Yao Lina, who put on a straight face, and then looked at Zhao Jingjing, who pursed her lips and secretly laughed. He didn't know whether to light it or not, and his expression was as wonderful as it could be.
"Well, mom, it doesn't matter to smoke once in a while. Your daughter is not so delicate."
Looking at her father's pitiful look, Zhao Jingjing pleaded for mercy.
Yao Lina snorted coldly, "Since my daughter has said so, just this time. Don't do it again!"
Zhao Tianli hurriedly lit it as if he had been pardoned. While smoking comfortably, he winked at Zhao Jingjing with an expression that said, "I didn't love you for nothing."
Zhao Jingjing giggled, drank up the bird's nest and lotus seed soup fed by her mother, and let her wipe her mouth with a paper towel. When Yao Lina went to the kitchen to deliver the bowl, she asked in a low voice, "Dad, did you really not make trouble for Ding Ning?"
