Chapter 041 Swollen Face
"You... why are you looking at me like that." Mei Qian forced a smile, her clenched palms were full of sweat.
Zhou Ding snorted coldly, his eyes fell back on the computer, and said sarcastically: "Mei Qian, this is your real purpose, right?"
He said, how could a woman who has always been stingy suddenly become so generous, and even persuaded him to recognize Jiang Yiqing. The change before and after was too great, comparable to being possessed by a ghost.
Now it seems that Mei Qian is taking advantage of his psychology and deliberately said so. Tsk, does she really think that he Zhou Ding is a fool.
Mei Qian saw that he noticed it and knew that it was useless to play dumb, so she had to wipe away her tears: "I have no choice, I just consider our Yuwen." "
You don't need to consider it." Zhou Ding said: "He has a share of my property."
But how could Mei Qian be willing to only have one share? He wants all the property!
Mei Qian lowered her eyes to hide her dissatisfaction: "But you have to believe me, what I said is true, Jiang Yiqing really wants to return to the Zhou family, I... I am just worried that you will suddenly soften your heart and let him come back."
Zhou Ding frowned, thinking of that useless son, who was going to be an Internet celebrity, which was simply a disgrace to him!
He immediately said decisively: "Impossible!"
Mei Qian didn't believe him: "What if he threatens you."
Zhou Ding simply laughed, Jiang Yiqing dared to threaten him?
"Those people on the Internet are irrational, they believe whatever others say." Mei Qian racked her brains to make up a reason: "And he still has fans now..."
"Huh! How can I be afraid of him!" Zhou Ding's face turned cold and he slammed the table hard.
"Husband, I really think about the Zhou family." Mei Qian said, "We are husband and wife, so I naturally hope that the Zhou family will be well. Jiang Yiqing...I felt that day that he is not a pushover."
Speaking of that day, Zhou Ding is still angry. The other party actually treated him in such an attitude and said something about severing the blood relationship, just like a child playing house.
Why didn't he propose to sever the relationship legally? He must still be thinking about returning to the Zhou family, right? Humph! With that attitude, don't even think about getting me to nod and let him come back!
If Jiang Yiqing knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely be speechless. He was too imaginative, right? Could he say that he had never thought of this at all?
Jiang Yiqing valued the blood ties more. If they were not severed, their impact would be much greater than that of the law.
Jiang Yiqing had plenty of ways to resolve the issue legally, so he didn't really care about it and just forgot about it.
When Mei Qian saw Zhou Ding mentioned Jiang Yiqing, she looked furious. She secretly curled her lips and continued, "After all, he is your blood son and has the right of inheritance."
"Inheritance rights? He can't get a penny if I don't give him one!" Zhou Ding was furious and was easily fooled by Mei Qian: "In that case, issue a statement. From today on, my Zhou family has nothing to do with Jiang Yiqing." "As for
the agreement to sever ties..., you bring a lawyer to ask him to sign it." Zhou Ding said, "As long as his demands are not too excessive, give him some money to get rid of him, and he will have nothing to do with our Zhou family from now on!"
Humph, didn't Jiang Yiqing say that he wanted to sever blood ties? Well, now his legal relationship is also completely severed! Zhou Ding thought so, and felt that he had gained back a point, and felt much better.
In fact, he was childish and ridiculous, doing this on purpose to make Jiang Yiqing regret it, to see the other party crying and begging him. Just imagining it, he felt that his dignity as a father was maintained. Little did he know
that he was the only one who cared about this, and Jiang Yiqing didn't care at all. If he heard Zhou Ding asking him to sign this agreement, he would probably be so happy that he wouldn't have time to wait. He also
had to thank Zhou Ding for his thorough consideration. In this way, the physical and mental ties were completely severed, and there was no worry at all.
Zhou Ding didn't know, and didn't think Jiang Yiqing would think so, and he was still complacent at this time.
Mei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly cursing Zhou Ding for being so stupid and cold-blooded.
But it didn't matter, this just made it easier for her to achieve her goal. As long as Jiang Yiqing signed his name on the agreement, she would be completely relieved.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, combined with Jiang Yiqing's attitude that day, Mei Qian felt that the other party might not care about the Zhou family at all.
So Mei Qian is now pushing Zhou Ding and Jiang Yiqing to sever their relationship legally. To put it bluntly, she is still on guard against Zhou Ding, so that this guy won't deal with them mother and son in order to entangle Jiang Yiqing.
As long as he and Jiang Yiqing sever their legal relationship, it can be regarded as completely severing all possibilities. Even if Zhou Ding gets angry when he knows the truth, he can only bear it, because he only has Zhou Yuwen as a son.
Although the things she had been thinking about might be worthless in the eyes of others, Mei Qian felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought about not having to waste time talking to Jiang Yiqing, she felt that it was also a benefit.
"Okay, don't bother me with this little thing." Zhou Ding waved his hand and asked Mei Qian to leave quickly. He was busy now.
Recently, Zhou Ding has been busy with the cooperation between the company and Keda Construction.
Keda Construction is a construction company that has recently undertaken many projects, while Zhou's is mainly engaged in building materials.
Keda's size is larger than Zhou's, and they are currently short of building materials, so as long as Zhou's can cooperate with Keda, they don't have to worry about this year's financial report.
Boss Zhou Ding was personally in charge of this cooperation, so you can imagine how much he valued it.
Zhou Ding was indeed busy at the moment. He had to call Xu Kaida, the boss of Kaida Construction, to discuss cooperation.
After finally calming down, Zhou Ding called Xu Kaida and said with a smile, "Boss Xu, I'm Zhou..."
"I don't care who you are, don't come and bother me!" Xu Kaida was upset because of something at home. Now, let alone Zhou Ding, even if the king of heaven came, he would not be in the mood!
With that, Xu Kaida hung up the phone directly.
Zhou Ding is the boss of the company after all. He is always flattered in the company. When they are discussing cooperation outside, they are all bosses and they all need to save face. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will just say a few sarcastic words. It was the first time that he was treated like this, and his face turned black.
"Xu Kaida! You really think you are so great, but you are just a nouveau riche!" Zhou Ding was so angry that he gritted his teeth and threw everything on the table to the ground. Even so, he was still very angry and sneered: "Ha, I don't believe that Zhou can't survive without cooperating with you!"
However, he was slapped in the face soon. The assistant took out the financial report of the last quarter, which was so bad that people couldn't bear to look at it. It was almost naked. If they could reach a cooperation with Kaida Construction, it would be enough to make their data this year look good.
The office fell silent. Zhou Ding gritted his teeth, his face looked as dark as if water could drip from it.
"Is there no other way?" Zhou Ding exhaled, his anger subsided a little.
The assistant knew that whatever he said now would be a bullet in the muzzle. After all, Zhou Ding knew the current situation of the company in his heart. Asking this question now was just deceiving himself. He just needed to remain silent.
Zhou Ding slammed the table angrily, and finally picked up the phone again and sent a text message to Xu Kaida, which roughly meant: I'm really sorry to bother you, I'll discuss cooperation with you in detail later. He was
very humble.
After the meeting, Zhou Ding felt embarrassed and called Mei Qian with a gloomy face: "Can you find a way to contact Xu Kaida's wife..."
Don't underestimate the social connections between these noble ladies. Some of Zhou Ding's cooperation was established through Mei Qian.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Zhou Ding will never really quarrel with Mei Qian even though he is often impatient with her.
Although he is reluctant to admit it, he still has to rely on Mei Qian in some places.
Mei Qian is already very good at doing these things and quickly agreed. Zhou Ding's anger finally eased a little.
After Mei Qian hung up the phone, she pouted. The most urgent task now is not to contact Xu Kaida's wife, but to get Jiang Yiqing to sign the contract first.
Oh yes, the statement of severing the relationship must be sent out quickly, so that Zhou Ding will not regret it later. Mei Qian is now determined to destroy Zhou Ding's escape route.
——
Jiang Yiqing was playing ball with the dog and the pig at home, and he received a strange call.
Because people often contact him through strange numbers recently, Jiang Yiqing will answer the phone even if it is an unfamiliar number.
After the call was connected, Mei Qian coughed lightly and said, "It's me."
Jiang Yiqing's face was full of question marks, and he deliberately glanced at the phone. It was indeed an unfamiliar number. Now he was confident, threw a grape into his mouth, and asked, "Who are you?"
Mei Qian's throat was choked. She was very nervous just now, afraid that Jiang Yiqing would hang up the phone as soon as he heard her voice. Now it seems that she was overthinking.
The other party couldn't even recognize her own voice.
Mei Qian was so angry, but she could only bear it: "It's me, your Aunt Mei."
"Oh, I don't have an aunt." Jiang Yiqing didn't want to say anything to her and wanted to hang up the phone, but she heard Mei Qian say: "I have something important to talk to you about!"
Jiang Yiqing: "?"
Mei Qian seized the time and said: "Your father wants to sign a contract with you and sever the relationship from now on. He also needs to make a statement online."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Yiqing laughed, and her tone was a little impatient: "Really? I just have time now. You are really thoughtful."
Being reminded like this, Jiang Yiqing remembered that he only cared about breaking the cause and effect last time, but forgot to consider the relationship in the secular sense.
Although this matter is easy to solve, there is nothing more reassuring than signing a contract to sever the relationship.
So, the two of them made an appointment at the same restaurant as last time. Mei Qian lost an adult there last time, so she was reluctant to go. But Jiang Yiqing said, "I didn't even have time to eat the steak I ordered last time. I must try it today."
Mei Qian was speechless. She was still thinking about eating at this time.
She could only comfort herself that Jiang Yiqing had no intention of returning to the Zhou family, and it was good that he wanted to sever ties with the Zhou family, so as not to worry about him and Zhou Yuwen snatching her away.
Jiang Yiqing originally thought that Mei Qian would do something strange again when they met this time, but to her surprise, Mei Qian's attitude changed 180 degrees.
"Don't you want to eat the steak from this restaurant? I ordered it in advance, and it's just right to eat it now." Mei Qian's face was full of smiles, and she looked particularly amiable.
Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but shiver, rubbed the goose bumps on his body, looked at the steak on the table, and hesitated: "You didn't poison it?"
Mei Qian: "..."
"Haha, just kidding." Jiang Yiqing was not really worried that Mei Qian had poisoned it, because she didn't have the courage.
He cut the steak and said, "Where's the contract?"
"Wait a minute, the lawyer will be here soon." Mei Qian didn't come with the lawyer, because she wanted to say something to Jiang Yiqing. She looked at Jiang Yiqing, hesitating for a long time.
Jiang Yiqing naturally noticed her abnormality, but pretended not to see it, and ate the steak seriously. It tasted really good.
Finally, seeing that the lawyer was about to come, Mei Qian couldn't hold it in anymore and smiled awkwardly: "Yiqing, I'm really sorry that Auntie's attitude was not very good last time. It was Auntie who thought wrongly and thought that you would compete with Yuwen for the inheritance rights. As Yuwen's mother, I am eager to protect my son, so it is inevitable that I have a bad attitude."
Jiang Yiqing looked at Mei Qian strangely. He was very curious. What was wrong with this person? He was no longer gloomy and weird, which made people very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Jiang Yiqing didn't say anything, Mei Qian said again: "Yiqing, if you really want to blame someone, blame Zhou Ding."
Jiang Yiqing: "..."
"When I was with him at the beginning, I didn't even know he had a wife." Mei Qian told the truth: "Later, we had a child, and I couldn't do anything. I couldn't let my child become an illegitimate child? Who knew that your mother would be stimulated..." "
Later, Zhou Ding thought you would inherit your mother's... mental problems, so he abandoned you..." Mei Qian also thought Zhou Ding was cruel at the beginning, but as a beneficiary, she naturally wouldn't stop it.
Jiang Yiqing sneered, and looked at Mei Qian slowly: "You have cleared yourself completely, but have you ever thought that husband and wife are one body, and if I deal with him, how can I not deal with you?"
Mei Qian heard this, her smile was a little forced.
Jiang Yiqing leaned back slightly, leaned back on the chair, folded his arms and said: "How about this, you divorce Zhou Ding now, and I promise to separate you, how about that?"
Mei Qian couldn't laugh anymore: "Yiqing, are you kidding me?"
"See, when there is interest, you refuse to draw a clear line, then don't expect me to treat you as two parts." Jiang Yiqing was not surprised at all. What he didn't say was that even if Mei Qian agreed, he would never let her go. He
said that he was innocent, but Jiang Yiqing was not a fool.
Mei Qian wanted to say something, but the lawyer came over in a hurry and glanced at Mei Qian, who looked away with guilt.
Jiang Yiqing was too lazy to talk to them, so he asked for the contract directly, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed it.
Zhou Ding had already signed his name on these two contracts, in duplicate.
"Goodbye, Aunt Mei..." Jiang Yiqing stood up and said with a smile.
Mei Qian's fingers trembled, and she secretly cursed Jiang Yiqing for not knowing what was good for her. Isn't it just that she has a good relationship with Wen Xiuyan? Do you really think she is afraid of him?
Mei Qian thought so, snorted coldly, and said to the lawyer beside her: "Hurry up and issue a statement to sever the relationship."
The lawyer looked at Mei Qian inquiringly. The other party deliberately did not tell him the real time of the meeting, and came so early. What exactly did he want to say?
"Why, what I said doesn't work?" Mei Qian frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou has already said before coming here that a statement will be issued after signing the contract. Don't you understand?"
The lawyer resisted the urge to roll his eyes and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it now."
Jiang Yiqing did not go home after leaving the restaurant. He received a call from Zhuang Kangyu.
Zhuang Kangyu was almost killed by his friends before, and it was Jiang Yiqing who was responsible for it. After that, the two of them got to know each other.
Zhuang Kangyu called, of course, for something. He would not dare to disturb Jiang Yiqing if there was nothing.
"It's one of my...partners. There's always water in his house for no apparent reason." Zhuang Kangyu said, almost unable to hold back his laughter: "And the people in their family wake up every day with bruises on their faces, as if they've been beaten up."
Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "Okay, tell me the address and I'll go take a look."
Zhuang Kangyu immediately gave the address, and he didn't hang up the phone, continuing to speculate: "Master Jiang, I suspect there's a water ghost in their house! I've always felt that their house isn't very clean, and I heard someone died there before!"
"Has anyone drowned?" Jiang Yiqing asked.
If someone has drowned, it's possible.
"Ah... it doesn't look like he drowned." Zhuang Kangyu scratched his head: "Someone must have died anyway. When he bought this manor, the price was half of what it was!"
Zhuang Kangyu's words were all over the place. Jiang Yiqing originally wanted to judge what happened based on his words, but now it seems that it's better to go to the scene to take a look.
Zhuang Kangyu didn't know why, but he suddenly had an idea and said, "Master Jiang, I'll go with you. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these two days."
"Aren't you afraid?" I don't know if it was Jiang Yiqing's illusion, but I always felt that Zhuang Kangyu was a little gloating.
Zhuang Kangyu smiled and said, "Isn't Master Jiang here? I'll just follow you when the time comes."
Jiang Yiqing said, it's up to you, come whenever you want.
Zhuang Kangyu immediately agreed cheerfully, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately changed his shoes and went out.
Mrs. Zhuang came out of the bedroom, frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Haha, there's a water ghost in Xu Kaida's house, I'm going to have some fun!" Zhuang Kangyu looked excited, and even called his wife, "Let's go together!"
Mrs. Zhuang: "...I'm not going, you go."
She was really convinced. Zhuang Kangyu had always been at odds with Xu Kaida. Both of them started from scratch, and their business was comparable, so they liked to show off. When
Zhuang Kangyu was murdered last time, the first person they suspected was Xu Kaida. Of course, although Xu Kaida was annoying, he would never do such a thing given his character, so they only suspected him for a while.
However, what made Zhuang Kangyu angry was that when Xu Kaida found out about the last time he was murdered by Sha Tao, he laughed at him severely and said that he had no brains.
Zhuang Kangyu was very angry about this and he still remembered it until now, so much so that even the water ghosts could not stop him from enjoying the excitement.
Mrs. Zhuang shook her head. She was already over 50 years old and still so childish!
On the other hand, Xu Kaida was also very unhappy because he had just talked to Zhuang Kangyu in a nice and annoyed way for a long time in order to get him to help contact Master Jiang!
This is simply the biggest shame and stain in his life!
"Do you think it's that serious?" Mrs. Xu had dark circles under her well-maintained face, and her cheeks were particularly red and swollen, as if she had been beaten, which looked particularly strange.
Xu Kaida was not much better, his eye bags were almost as big as his eyes, and his face looked even more severely beaten.
"Of course not, I don't know how long I will be laughed at by Zhuang Kangyu in the future!" Xu Kaida gritted his teeth.
"Be laughed at by him or be beaten every night, it's your choice." Mrs. Xu snorted coldly. It was fine that he was trembling with fear every night, but his face was swollen from being beaten, and he didn't dare to go out.
Xu Kaida opened his mouth when he heard her say that. Well, although it was hard to accept being laughed at by Zhuang Kangyu, it was not that hard to bear compared to having something at home.
However, Xu Kaida still said stubbornly: "Humph! Who knows if the person introduced by Zhuang Kangyu is reliable!"
Then he was glared at by Mrs. Xu: "Master Jiang will come over later. If you still say that, don't blame me for embarrassing you."
Xu Kaida was speechless: "I just said that. I'm not stupid."
The couple waited and waited, and finally Jiang Yiqing came.
As soon as Xu Kaida smiled, he saw Zhuang Kangyu next to Jiang Yiqing. He immediately widened his eyes: "Why are you here?!"
It was a coincidence that Jiang Yiqing just arrived at the door and ran into Zhuang Kangyu. The two came together.
Xu Kaida obviously didn't expect Zhuang Kangyu to come. He covered his face in shock and anger.
However, it was too late. Zhuang Kangyu had seen it clearly and pointed at Xu Kaida and laughed: "Hahaha, Xu Kaida... Hahaha, how did you become a pig head? Hahaha, it's too funny, no, no, I have to take a picture."
"Zhuang Kangyu, don't be too much!" Xu Kaida was furious and reached out to grab Zhuang Kangyu's mobile phone.
Two men in their fifties pulling each other's hair was a rare sight. Jiang Yiqing said a few words to persuade them, and then stopped talking, watching the excitement from the side.
Mrs. Xu felt that she was too ashamed to face anyone. If someone said "your husband" now, she would definitely shout "your husband!" in anger.
It was really too embarrassing!
Fortunately, the two finally realized that it was a bit embarrassing, glared at each other, and stopped arguing with each other.
Zhuang Kangyu looked at Xu Kaida's manor, put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "I said at the beginning that you are greedy for cheap things and have no good goods."
In fact, Zhuang Kangyu envied Xu Kaida at the beginning, because he actually let him get a big bargain and buy such a beautiful manor. Now that the manor is haunted, he feels much better.
Xu Kaida looked unhappy. When he first bought the manor, he showed it off everywhere. Who knew it would be haunted?
Madam Xu was speechless. She couldn't count on Xu Kaida anymore. She said embarrassedly, "Master Jiang, you don't have to worry about them." Seeing
the lively Master Jiang silently retracting his gaze, he looked like a hermit. He nodded and said, "Madam Xu, do you mind showing me around?"
Madam Xu nodded, "Of course I don't mind."
After taking him around, Jiang Yiqing said, "I didn't notice any Yin energy. It shouldn't be a ghost."
When Xu Kaida heard Jiang Yiqing say this, he doubted whether the person introduced by Zhuang Kangyu was reliable. If it wasn't a ghost, what else could it be? My swollen face was the best proof!
Jiang Yiqing ignored his muttering and looked at the pool not far away. He walked over, lowered his eyes to look at the fish swimming in it, and said with a smile: "You have raised these koi well."
The fish in the pool seemed to be startled by the sudden arrival of someone, and swam away in all directions, disturbing the water in the pool.
