"Yes, that's what she said." The waiter nodded vigorously.
Ming Zhaoyuan was even more confused and asked the waiter, "What is the old lady wearing?"
"She was dressed in ordinary clothes, like an old lady from a wealthy family." The waiter scratched his head and added, "She brought three very special children. One was a girl, two or three years old, very cute. The other was full of dignity, and at first glance he was a rich young man.
Another one was covered in black, as if he had fallen into a pile of coal and hadn’t cleaned himself properly. Each of the three children had their own unique characteristics, making them unforgettable.
Hearing this, Ming Zhaoyuan became even more confused. He was sure that he had no such old friend, but since the other person said that he had news about his wife and daughter, he had to go and see him no matter who he was.
It didn't matter even if they deceived him, he didn't want to give up any chance to find them.
At the door of the box on the third floor.
Ming Zhaoyuan took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and knocked on the door. Grandma Wuxu shouted, "Come in!"
When I pushed the door open and went in, I saw the three special children that the waiter had described.
The little girl was not very big, about two or three years old. She was sitting on a chair, her big watery eyes bright and clear, revealing curiosity and innocence.
The skin is white, tender and delicate, as if it was carved out of powder, which perfectly illustrates what is meant by "carved out of powder and jade".
With a smile on his face, he gives people the impression that he is naive and smart.
"Madam!" Ming Zhaoyuan bowed to Grandma Wuxu, "Excuse me! I am Ming Zhaoyuan, the fifth master of the Ming family."
Looking at the skinny and haggard man in front of her, Grandma Wuxu raised her hand and told him directly.
"I've brought your daughter here. If you have anything to say, you two can talk face to face. Have someone guard outside and draw the curtains on the windows."
Although Ming Zhaoyuan felt strange, he did not dare to say much. He followed Grandma Wuxu's instructions and asked the waiter to guard outside the door and not allow anyone to approach.
All of the Ming family's industries are under his control. Whether it is Minghua Building or other places, he only employs his own people.
Knowing that his father was unreliable, and that his eldest brother would be even less reliable when his father stepped down in the future, he had to make some arrangements for himself, his wife and daughter.
Over the years, important positions in the industry have gradually been replaced by our own people.
Although his father had doubts, as long as he took out the silver he needed and placed it in front of him, and then complained about how difficult it was to make money, his father would turn a blind eye and ignore his behavior of changing people at will.
After all, he did this to help the Ming family's business move to a higher level.
The management method of Minghua Building was the one he worked out with the most painstaking effort. From top to bottom, all of them were replaced by his own people, with no outsiders at all.
Otherwise, the waiter wouldn't have gone to find him after hearing the news.
Everything was arranged, and Ming Zhaoyuan bowed to Grandma Wuxu again. With his many years of experience in business abroad, he knew that this old lady was not from Nanyun Kingdom, but should be from Dongsheng.
She said she had brought her daughter with her, but where was she? There was no sign of her daughter in the room!
Knowing that he had doubts in his mind, Granny Wuxu did not delay and took out the talisman and shouted inside: "Ming Juanjuan! Come out! Your father is here."
Ming Juanjuan in the talisman heard the shouting and woke up from her sleep. She suddenly rushed out, fell to the ground, and turned into a female ghost in white.
This scene made Ming Zhaoyuan dumbfounded. He looked at the talisman in the old lady's hand shaking, rolled his eyes, and turned into his daughter as soon as he landed on the ground.
"Juan'er! What...happened to you? Why did you...become like this?" Before he could finish his words, he staggered and fell to the ground.
No matter how dumb he was, he could see that his daughter was dead and had become a ghost.
The girl who loved to call him "Daddy! Daddy" whenever she saw him since she was a child, is dead.
He suddenly burst into tears and cried silently.
"Daddy! Don't be sad." Seeing her father fall, Ming Juanjuan tried to support him, but her fingers pierced through her father's arm. She started crying, "You have to avenge your daughter! My daughter was killed by my grandfather."
After hearing this, Ming Zhaoyuan even forgot to cry. He immediately looked up at Ming Juanjuan and said, "What did you say? Say it again? Why did your grandfather want to kill you? What did he do?"
"Dad! Grandfather not only killed me, he also captured mom. Mom is not dead, she is still alive." Ming Juanjuan spoke with tears in her eyes as she recounted all the experiences of herself, her mother, and Ming Junjun.
He talked about every detail, even the forbidden bamboo forest in the back mountain of the Ming family and the barrier set up there.
After hearing this, Ming Zhaoyuan trembled all over, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth: "Dad knew that there was something strange about your disappearance. Your grandfather didn't care about it at all, as if nothing had happened. It turns out that all this was caused by him.
No wonder he didn't send guards to search for her. The excuse is that he didn't want the Ming family to be embarrassed. Hahaha! Who is the one who is embarrassed? "
Granny Wuxu, Naituanzi, Li Sizu, and the black-haired guy sat silently by the side and watched without making any sound, for fear of disturbing the father and daughter.
"Dad! As far as I know, mother was not imprisoned there for sacrifice, but because the devil needed a maid to take care of his food and daily life." Ming Juanjuan didn't want her father to misunderstand her mother, so she chose to tell the truth, "Grandfather hated mother for occupying your position as the legitimate wife, so he had her sent to the devil."
"Daddy knows that your mother is middle-aged, and the demon will not enjoy her." Ming Zhaoyuan got up from the ground and sat on a chair nearby. "Your grandfather asked Daddy to divorce your mother several times and marry a woman from an aristocratic family, but Daddy refused.
I didn't expect him to be so cruel here. It's my father's fault for not protecting his wife and children, and for harming you and your daughter."
When he talked about the sad part, he couldn't help choking up. His daughter, who had grown up in his father's hands, was given to a devil by her father because she was so beautiful and charming, and was raped to death.
And there was Junjun's poor niece, who was sent to be sacrificed just like his Juanjuan. She died at a young age.
My father is really not a human being. For his own ambition, he is willing to sacrifice anyone's life.
Turning stone into gold? That's just a trick. When the time comes, the gold will turn into stone. He has tried it.
The gold nuggets were given to him by his father. There weren’t many of them, just a small box.
He was reluctant to spend it and kept it hidden at home. His father seldom gave him good things, and he thought it was a reward from his father for his hard work in managing the Ming family business.
A year later, when he opened the box of gold, he found it was full of stones. He was terrified and hurriedly ran to find his father with the box in his arms. He glared at him and started to curse.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can gold turn into stone? Did you use the gold to do something else? Or was your gold stolen? Did someone put stones in it to fool you? You can be very careful, but you can't prevent thieves from stealing your own property. You better be careful!"
