Chapter 238: Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign ancient town
When Tu Huan woke up, the Jiang family had already replied to Xie Huailou.
The bride-to-be woke up to find her wedding was canceled. No one has had more drama than Jiang Li this year.
Xie Huailou was a little surprised when he received the letter, but he didn't say much. He just pondered for a moment and reminded, "After going through the Xie family's procedures, others have to recognize it even if they don't want to."
In other words, even if it is fake, as long as the newlyweds of the Xie family complete all the wedding procedures according to the ancestral rules of the Xie family, others will not be able to make any more comments.
The Jiang family and the Xie family were not in the same circle, so they didn't know what the Xie family's rules were. Xie Huailou probably guessed it, so without the Jiang family having to worry about it, he explained directly: "After the Xie family's newlyweds have completed their wedding ceremony, they must record their names and offer sacrifices to their ancestors."
In other words, only newlyweds who meet without any mishap during the Xie family's ancestral worship are eligible to own shares in the Xie family.
Is it legal for Jiang Li and Xie Siming to register their marriage?
Legal.
But in the Xie family, legal couples do not necessarily have inheritance rights.
This is the most important "certification" of the Xie family behind the scenes.
The Xie family had a "couple" who had inheritance rights without getting married, such as Xie Siming's parents.
Outsiders called Xie Siming an illegitimate child, but Xie Huailou disagreed.
The Jiang family suddenly realized why Xie Huailou had made such a suggestion before.
How the Jiang family responds depends on Jiang Li.
At the most critical moments and on the most critical issues, Jiang Li remained stubborn.
After receiving a definitive reply from the Xie family, Xie Huailou said only one thing, "Since that's the case, the Jiang family doesn't need to worry about other matters. The Xie family will handle it all."
The wedding originally scheduled for today by the Jiang and Xie families has been rescheduled.
As for the date to be rescheduled, the Xie family will take the trouble to handle it. Special personnel will be arranged to deliver the corresponding gifts to each family one after another, even including relatives and friends invited by the Jiang family. This is the Xie family's intention.
Xie Huailuo's movements were so fast that others had no time to attack the Jiang family. He blocked the Jiang family behind him.
In this way, the most controversial point at present is focused on the safety of Xie Siming.
Tu Huan could see that the Jiang family did not have much freedom when it came to the wedding.
Jiang Li is open-minded. Even if the marriage fails, she still has to entertain her friends.
Tu Huan was embarrassed: "You have such a big heart."
"What should I do? Xie Siming is in Xie Huailou's private villa, and he is being taken care of by the Xie family's private medical team, and I can't get in." Jiang Li sighed lightly.
Tu Huan was puzzled: "Can Xie Huailou be so powerful in your Haicheng?"
Jiang Li smiled, "That's not that serious. The people in the Ming family are also very powerful, especially the one who has been in charge in recent years, but I have only heard my father and brother talk about it occasionally, so I don't know much about it."
After having lunch at Jiang's house, a private doctor came to the house to check and confirmed that Jiang Li's injured area could be moved.
Jiang Li asked Tu Huan, "Haicheng is crowded with people, so I won't take you out for a wander around, lest you run into anyone who says something unpleasant. Should I take you for a stroll in the ancient town nearby?"
Tu Huan came to attend the wedding. Not only did she hear a lot of gossip about the feuds among wealthy families, but she also heard a name that she was afraid to avoid. She was about to go home when she was stopped by Jiang Li.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so let me show my hospitality."
Tu Huan hesitated.
Jiang Li tempted: "There is a particularly good hot spring in Sifang Ancient Town. Let's go there to relieve our fatigue?"
Tu Huan was moved.
The Jiang family has a private club. Jiang Li invited Tu Huan to go there to relax for a night. After waking up naturally the next day, they drove to the ancient town around Haicheng.
The driver was a familiar face.
As soon as Zhuang Zhou met her, he smiled warmly: "Miss Tu, good morning!"
"Secretary Zhuang, good morning!" Tu Huan said politely.
As the end of the year approaches, many people who work outside their hometowns are returning home one after another. On the way to the countryside, Jiang Li points out the window from time to time, acting as a tour guide for Tu Huan.
An hour and a half later, the car drove into an ancient town with a quaint atmosphere.
Tu Huan has stayed in H City for a long time. Before the New Year, the temperature in the north does not change as obviously as in Haicheng. In the winter of H City, it is only cold and colder.
Stay outside for a while and freeze your chin off.
"Director Jiang, Miss Tu, we're here."
Tu Huan leaned over and got out of the car. She looked up and turned around, only to meet a pair of surprised and inquiring black eyes.
Obviously, the other party was also a little surprised to see her here.
"Miss Tu?"
A deep and rich voice, slow and noble.
As soon as the other party said this.
Beside Tu Huan, Jiang Li looked slightly surprised and didn't quite understand the situation. But then Zhuang Zhou parked the car and got out. When he saw the person from next door who rarely appeared here, he was really surprised.
"Mr. Ming, you're here too? Nice to meet you."
The other person glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly to Zhuang Zhou as a greeting, and then turned his gaze back to the young woman in front of him.
A gentle and friendly smile appeared on his usually cold and serious face.
"I didn't expect that after parting at Gujin Hall, we would meet again in Haicheng. It's really fate."
Tu Huan was surprised but also happy when she met someone she had only met once in a foreign land.
It seems like it was just yesterday when we said goodbye to Gujin Hall in Tianxiang Pavilion.
The other party's extraordinary demeanor did leave a good impression on her.
Tu Huan smiled and said, "I didn't expect to run into Mr. Ming here. It's truly fate."
Jiang Li didn't understand the other person, but she understood the look Zhuang Zhou gave her.
The man with extraordinary bearing in front of him is the rival of the Xie family in Haicheng in recent years and the new helmsman of the Ming family.
Outsiders call him "Mr. Ming".
He is in his early thirties and is decisive in the business world. He is not an ordinary good person.
But all the rumors about the other party are mostly false.
As for the big boss of the Ming family, not many people have the honor of meeting him.
He usually stays at home and rarely goes out in public.
Zhuang Zhou was very puzzled as to how he could come across such a huge Buddha in such a remote ancient town.
Mr. Ming glanced at Tu Huan and the other two and asked politely, "Miss Tu, are you bringing your friends here to play?"
Tu Huan was embarrassed. She didn't bring her friends here, it was clearly her friends who brought her here to see the world.
But since Mr. Ming said so, she couldn't refute him, so she said, "A friend suggested that we go to the hot springs together. I heard that the hot springs here are good."
"I see."
After saying that, he turned around and said to his subordinates behind him: "Leave the private room on the back hill to Miss Tu and her friends."
"Yes, sir."
"Ah, no need to bother, Mr. Ming..."
"It's a rare opportunity to meet Miss Tu, so let me play the role of host. I hope you and your friends enjoy the meal and have a great time."
Tu Huan felt embarrassed.
The people of Haicheng are so hospitable.
Why does everyone want to be a good host?
A deep laugh rang out, and Tu Huan heard a hint of confusion in the other person's tone. "I don't know why, but I always feel like we have a special affinity after just meeting Miss Tu."
