Gradually, the number of people who came to Tao Wan to play Go decreased. Not only did they not get the painting, but they also lost most of their wealth. No one could afford to be tormented like this.
No matter how rich they were, after trying once or twice and failing, they all gave up. Only one person refused to give up. This was already the fourth time he challenged Tao Wan to play Go in public.
The first two times, Old Man Liu felt that Tao Wan won by a fluke. He almost won. When he lost to Tao Wan for the fourth time, and it was an irreversible defeat, he realized that everything was under Tao Wan's control. No matter how much he studied the previous game, it was impossible to win.
As for other people who came to challenge him, Tao Wan made them understand that it was impossible for them to win with their strength. Only Old Man Liu gave him the illusion that he won by a fluke. Old Man Liu not only lost three pieces of land to him, but also half of the Liu family's shares. With these shares and some scattered shares, Wei Shicheng could directly buy their company.
Looking at the irreversible game, Old Man Liu finally realized that he had fallen into Tao Wan's trap.
Old Man Liu slowly raised his head and looked at Tao Wan. "You did it on purpose?"
"That's right," Tao Yuan admitted with a smile.
"Why?" Old Man Liu felt that he should at least know the reason since he had given him more than half of the Liu family's assets. "Because we didn't agree to sell the land to Shicheng, so you hate us?"
"The land is your family's. It's your right to sell it or not. If I hate you because of this, I'm afraid that even God won't be able to stand it. I'm very afraid of retribution. "
"Then why?" Old Man Liu stared hard at him and asked. "You could have made me understand the first time that I had no chance of winning. Why did you give me the illusion that I could win?"
"Because your Liu family offended me. If I don't destroy your Liu family, I won't be able to get my revenge." Tao Wan said.
"Who in the Liu family offended you?" Old Man Liu felt that he was strict with his descendants and would not bully others.
Liu Xiujie, who was sitting below, immediately lowered his head. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Your grandson, Liu Xiujie. He pursued me before, but I didn't agree. Thus, he bore a grudge against me. Not only did he try to find trouble for me, he even found someone to deliberately make things difficult for me. He and his date, Xu Shaoyan, forced me into a dead end step by step, just to make me beg him. So I also want him to feel what it's like to be forced to a dead end. "
Old Man Liu suddenly looked at Liu Xiujie. He didn't expect that his grandson, who had always been sensible and obedient, would do such a thing behind his back.
The people around Liu Xiujie also looked at him. They thought that it was because of him that the Liu family faced the current situation.
"I'm a very vengeful person, and I'll definitely take revenge. Since you are relatives of the Wei family, I'll remind you that this is not the end. Liu Xiujie must be severely punished. Otherwise, I won't let it go. "
"You don't have to do it. I'll do it myself." Old Man Liu gritted his teeth. He stood up and walked out.
The audience also stood up and walked out. They were discussing what they had just heard. This was another piece of gossip that they could talk about for a long time.
Tao Wan returned to the lounge and looked through the land deeds and share transfer documents. "The Liu family is indeed a famous landlord. There are invisible mountains of gold and silver on these lands. For so many years, countless people have been jealous."
"No matter how jealous others are, it's all yours now." Wei Shicheng poured a cup of warm water for him. Then he sat down beside him and looked through the documents with him.
"What's going on with the Xu family?" Since he didn't plan to let Liu Xiujie go, he naturally wouldn't let Xu Shaoyan go either. Moreover, the Xu family had something to do with the sudden bankruptcy of the original owner's father.
"They'll declare bankruptcy soon." Wei Shicheng said.
Old Man Liu said that he would do it himself. Sure enough, he did it himself. He beat Liu Xiujie with the family rules. Then he removed his name from the Liu family's genealogy and sent him abroad to fend for himself.
The Liu family's upbringing was very strict. Old Man Liu taught all his children and grandchildren strictly. However, his youngest son died in an accident many years ago. It had always been a pain in his heart. Because Liu Xiujie lost his father when he was young, Old Man Liu inevitably favored him. However, he didn't expect that the Liu family was almost ruined because of him.
Old Man Liu was old. He wasn't as ruthless as he was when he was young. He sent Liu Xiujie abroad to protect him.
Wei Shicheng was not only rich and powerful, but also very ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to support such a big business alone. On account of the fact that they were relatives, he didn't do anything to Liu Xiujie. Instead, he allowed Tao Yuan to put everything on the table.
If the Liu family didn't do anything after everything was put on the table, he would do it. That was why Liu Xiujie was sent abroad to fend for himself.
A year later, Tao Wan and Wei Shicheng held their wedding. This wedding had been prepared for a whole year. The grand scene shocked the whole country.
The invited guests chatted in the castle garden. On the long table in the garden, there were exquisite and delicious snacks, gorgeous champagne towers, and fresh and delicious seafood. The children wore little dresses and small suits, running and playing on the grass. The adults either sat or stood together, chatting about things that interested them.
Girls, regardless of age, liked to gossip when they got together. Naturally, the wives of the rich were no exception.
"Who do you think will benefit from the marriage between Boss Wei and Du Qingyu?"
"In the past, everyone thought that Du Qingyu was really lucky to be chosen by Boss Wei and marry into a rich family. But now it seems that although Du Qingyu is young, she is very capable. Not to mention the amazing price of his paintings, just the property that he won from playing Go last year means that he is richer than many rich families. "
"So this is a strong alliance. In the future, the Wei family's power can't be underestimated. They will definitely expand. Maybe they will become the richest family in our country."
"I think they will be the richest family. In the past, I also thought that Du Qingyu was lucky. Now it seems that Boss Wei is luckier. He can marry a young and beautiful woman who will be of great help to him. So many rich families have their own way of marrying. It's really not easy to marry someone you love. "
"Although Boss Wei is really lucky, I still envy Du Qingyu more. She is her own biggest support. She doesn't need anyone to support her when she marries into a rich family. She doesn't have to worry about her parents-in-law. She doesn't have siblings to steal her assets. She doesn't have stepchildren or illegitimate children. Who wouldn't be envious of such a life? "
"Isn't that so? I didn't even dare to dream of such a thing. I can't believe it actually happened to someone else. "
At this moment, the men were chatting about the same thing as the wives.
"Many years ago, many people thought that the Wei family would be finished. How could they leave behind a young only son to face the scourge of the surrounding monsters? Who would have thought that Boss Wei would be able to develop Eagle Vision Group to its current state without the protection of his parents or the help of his brothers? "
"I've seen Boss Wei's methods. If he wasn't ruthless enough, he wouldn't have been able to develop the company to its current state. Now that he's married a virtuous wife, she'll be of great help to him. "
"Not only will she be of great help to him, but she's also young and beautiful. She's both charming and talented. Why don't we encounter such good things?"
"This kind of thing is hard to come by. There's no point in being envious."
"Not only is Boss Wei capable and wealthy, but he's also tall and handsome. Although he's almost forty years old, his body isn't any worse than a young man's. He also has a mature charm. He's good in all aspects. He'll definitely only be interested in someone like Boss Wei. "
"I agree. When I play basketball with Boss Wei, we can't compare to him in terms of physical strength and endurance."
"Sigh ~ Why do you think there's such a huge difference between people?"
Amidst the orchestra's music, a luxurious golden carriage pulled by eight white horses slowly approached the rose-covered road.
Wei Shicheng wore a black suit and rode beside the carriage on a white horse. Tao Wan wore a white suit and sat in the carriage.
The wedding officially began. Under the witness of all the guests, under the live broadcast, under the arch of flowers, in front of the rotating fountain … The two signed the marriage certificate, exchanged rings, and kissed each other deeply.
Xu Shaoyan dragged his tired body back to the dilapidated apartment he rented. He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control. He wanted to relax by watching TV for a while, but it just happened to be a replay of the wedding. How did he know it was a replay? Because he had already seen the live broadcast at his workplace.
He turned off the TV and lay down on the sofa. He was really tired. He didn't know how much longer he could live like this. After his father went bankrupt, he dropped out of school. His father said that he had invested the most in him. Now, he couldn't even get his money back. He told him that no matter what, he had to earn money to repay his father.
He worked three jobs a day and had to accompany people at the bar at night. Every week, his father would take away more than half of his income. The remaining money was only enough to keep him from starving to death.
He didn't even have the right to be envious of that person, let alone be jealous. He didn't even have the energy to do that. How did he end up like this? Perhaps he had already made a mistake from the moment he approached his father and asked him to sponsor his studies. One wrong step led to many wrong steps. That's why he ended up like this.
It was late at night. He didn't have any more time to feel sorry for himself. After taking a shower, he immediately went out to work.
When the manager of the bar saw him, he immediately said, "Go to room 302. Boss Wu and the others are waiting for you."
Xu Shaoyan was expressionless, as if he didn't have a soul. He walked into room 302. The people inside had already started drinking. Two young men were being carried by two uncles.
Xu Shaoyan walked over and sat down. The middle-aged man who was waiting for him had an oily face. After hugging him, he kissed and touched him. "Xiao Xu, you're finally here. I missed you so much."
"Xiao Xu, drink with Boss Wu." The person beside him said, "Boss Wu came especially for you."
