Father Wen felt both pity and resentment towards his daughter: "Look at you, studying at Imperial University, you could have any good man you want, but you chose to fall in love with a disabled man, and ended up like this."
Wen Qing, who was beaten to a pulp, had no idea of the seriousness of the matter.
She said unconvincedly, "Dad, didn't you say how great Brother Su is? You asked us to make friends with him.
I didn't like him at first, but the longer we got to know each other, the more I admired him, especially when I saw that his wife was quite pretty.
I like him more all of a sudden. Besides, Gu Jiaojiao is a fake daughter. What are you afraid of her doing? "
"Stupid thing, is your father afraid of her? Didn't you see those sick family members came to my house blatantly? It's not like I haven't encountered such situations before. Who dares to come to my house?"
Wen Qing: ...Really not!
"The fact that they don't care about rabies killing people proves they already know their dogs are barking because they are human.
Su Shuoci knows the genius doctor Su Gu, so his wife must have learned some unconventional techniques from him!
Wen Qing listened to her father's words and thought about it carefully. The more she thought about it, the more her legs trembled. Although she was lying on the stool, she couldn't stop shaking.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. In the afternoon, in front of Gu Jiaojiao, she was kicked by her and suddenly felt a pain in her knees, and she fell to the ground...
Maybe the fake daughter used some method. She has the ability to make people bark like dogs, which means she has the ability to kill people without them knowing it!
If she angered that fake daughter, she... she could kill herself silently. This... is too scary!
"Dad, Su Shuoci knows the miracle doctor. If I marry Brother Su instead of Gu Jiaojiao, then I can also..."
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that Su Shuoci is already married, married!"
"You can get divorced after getting married. Today I just want Gu Jiaojiao to give up."
"Did she give up when she saw the difficulty? And you lost both the wife and the army. Second brother, beat her hard and knock all the stupidity out of your sister!"
"Ouch~ Mom, please save my daughter, my dad is going to beat me to death~~"
"Old Wen, quickly tell our son to stop. He'll hurt Qing'er if he keeps fighting. How will he be able to participate in the Qingcheng Famous Family Exchange Meeting next month?"
"Hey! Stop it, second brother. Let's let her go this time. If it weren't for the annual exchange meeting, I would have beaten her until she knows she's wrong."
"Dad, I already know I was wrong. I will never dare to mess with Gu Jiaojiao again. Woohoo...it hurts so much~"
"Qing'er, Mom will help you apply the medicine." Mother Wen went over and helped her daughter up with her second son.
The second son of the Wen family followed his father into politics after graduating from university. He was very smooth in his dealings and he didn't have to put in much effort at all.
But Wen Qing was still beaten to a pulp, which shows how terrible the Wen family's rules are.
If his eldest brother, who was a strict person, came to enforce the family rules, he would definitely beat his sister to a pulp with two sticks.
"Qing'er, we in Qingcheng hold a famous family exchange meeting every year. This is a custom that has been around for hundreds of years.
It stopped for several years due to some reasons, and started to rise again in the last two years.
It is said that the initiator is the most prestigious person in Qingcheng, so he is very influential.
Even some big names from other places will come to participate in this exchange meeting just to expand their network of contacts.
Your grandfather and maternal grandfather never miss the annual famous family exchange meeting and are invited every year."
"Mom, is it a few days before school starts?" Wen Qing asked weakly.
"Yes, Qing'er, you should stay at home and recuperate recently. After attending the exchange meeting, you will go to the imperial capital to study!" Mother Wen was very worried about her daughter.
"Mom, Dad and I are also invited this year, and we can take you and your sister with us."
"Your father told me a long time ago that, to put it bluntly, this kind of large-scale exchange meeting is to broaden your network of contacts.
We big families form marriages to tap into potential individuals, and socialites look for our Mr./Mr. Right.
Of course, there are also tit-for-tat sarcasm and suppression, and the winner gets to enjoy the glory.
Those who are invited to attend are all well-known and wealthy nobles, or political tycoons..."
Wen's mother attended an exchange meeting when she was young, and that's how she found her husband.
She has always been proud of it, so she did not hide it from her children and often used it to motivate them.
The second son of the Wen family thought to himself: This idea is a bit outrageous.
This is not the first time that the Wen family has had the opportunity to participate in this important annual celebrity exchange meeting.
He and his elder brother have not found their ideal partners yet, but he already has a target, and that is Lili from the Xi family.
The Xi family was also holding a family meeting at this time. Because Uncle Xi's son liked Wen Qing, he also contracted rabies.
Since the operation, Mr. Xi has been eating well, sleeping well, and is in very good health.
"Second brother, did you know that Xiaomi followed that girl from the Wen family to cause trouble for Gu Jiaojiao?"
"My son only found out about this when Xiaomi was hospitalized with rabies," said Uncle Xi embarrassedly.
"We in the Xi family don't want uneducated people. If you don't educate your children properly, don't blame me for ruthlessly kicking you out of the house in the end."
"I will follow my father's teachings. Please give me a chance and I will educate Xiaomi well."
"Dad, please give my second brother and Xiaomi a chance. Xiaomi is still young and naive."
"Well, for your eldest brother's sake, I'll give you a chance. Our Xi family is currently the number one family in Qingcheng. Not only will we be surpassed soon, but it's also said that it's lonely at the top. Do you understand?"
"Grandpa, who can surpass our Xi family?" Uncle Xi's son asked seriously.
"There are so many of them. If you keep being so lazy, you will be surpassed in less than two years," said the senior official.
"Hmph! Not even two years? If that person is willing to make a breakthrough, he will surpass our Xi family this year." Old man Xi said with a look of disappointment.
"Who is it?"
"Who is so awesome?"
"No way, Grandpa, please don't scare yourself~"
"What Grandpa said is true. I thought of someone. If he is willing to step forward, our Xi family will really have no chance of survival."
When Xi Guodong heard his grandfather's words, Su Shuoci's figure appeared in his mind.
"Brother, who is it? The Wen family definitely can't surpass us. The Xiao family has always been low-key. If they wanted to surpass us, they would have done so long ago."
Uncle Xi's eldest son spoke in a lower voice. He could easily find two families that were as powerful as their Xi family.
"It's not that the Xiao family doesn't want to surpass our Xi family, but they really don't have the qualifications. The reason they were able to incite everyone this time was purely due to their own interests."
Old Master Xi spoke slowly, giving the Xi family members a reassurance.
"Rising talents are formidable. Your uncle was right to ask you to get in touch with Su Shuoci more often. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be interested in competing with us in Qingcheng."
"Grandpa, I know there is the Song family." Xi Lili thought of the handsome young man.
