Chapter 301 Are you related to the Gu family?
What Xia Qingzhang is most concerned about now is how Xia Yuan has connections with the police station, and this relationship is not ordinary, otherwise the police station would not have sent people to seal the store.
When they are in this position, it really is a matter of life and death.
When Xia Yuan heard his question, she looked away and didn't say anything. Xia Qingzhang picked up the cup beside him and slammed it at her feet. "Speak!"
"I don't have any connections at the police station," Xia Yuan said, seeing that Xia Qingzhang was really angry and scared. "That day, Gu Erhui asked me to go to a cafe. She splashed coffee on me and left. The owner of the cafe kindly let me go inside to change clothes. That's how we met. He said he knew someone at the police station and asked me if I should call the police. I was angry at the time, so I asked if they could close down Gu Erhui's shop. He said yes very easily, and then the Gu family shop was closed down."
Xia Qingzhang and Xia Zhengming frowned upon hearing this. Xia Zhengming asked, "What's the name of that cafe?"
"Hong Kong-Shenzhen Coffee Shop." Xia Yuan said.
After Xia Zhengming heard this, he picked up the phone and dialed a number. When he heard his secretary's voice on the other end, he said, "Check who the owner of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Coffee Shop is."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhengming's face was still very serious. Who is the owner of this cafe?
"If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences," Xia Zhengming said to Xia Yuan, "I'll go apologize to the Gu family tomorrow and see if they can forgive you. If they can't forgive you, then you should accept the investigation of the disciplinary inspection."
"I won't," Xia Yuan didn't expect Xia Zhengming to handle it this way. She cried and said, "They didn't suffer much loss. At most, they can just let Gu Siqing's book enter the Kyoto market. Their store has Ye Chi, so they will definitely be able to reopen. Why don't they forgive me? Why should I accept the investigation?"
Xia Zhengming didn't want to talk to her, it was impossible to reason with her. Her arrogant and selfish thoughts were deeply rooted and could not be changed.
"If you think what I said is not right, you can handle this matter yourself." Xia Zhengming said.
Xia Yuan cried and took Mrs. Xia's arm, "Mom, look at my brother, how could she ignore me?"
Old Lady Xia felt heartbroken and embarrassed. She said, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. When did you become like this?"
Although she was strong-willed and liked to be the best in everything before, she had never done anything so excessive.
"I retired a long time ago," Old Lady Xia added, "and I can't take care of your affairs."
No matter how much Old Lady Xia felt sorry for her, she knew that she had to give her a good lesson this time, otherwise she might do something even more outrageous in the future.
"Dad!" Xia Yuan pleaded with Xia Qingzhang, but he waved his hands tiredly and said, "Go back home. I'll tell you when the matter is resolved."
Seeing that no one in the family was willing to help her, Xia Yuan stood up and said, "In your eyes, I am just like spilled water."
After saying that, she opened the study door and left.
Old Mrs. Xia pounded the sofa and said, "How did she become like this? How did she become like this?"
Xia Zhengming thought to himself that he was just spoiled, but he decided not to say that at this moment. He gave Old Lady Xia a compliment and said, "I'll go apologize to the Gu family tomorrow. They can ask for whatever compensation they want."
He would not really watch Xia Yuan being investigated, as their Xia family could not afford to lose this person.
"Just talk to them nicely," said Old Lady Xia.
"I know."
At this time, the phone in the study rang. It was Xia Zhengming's secretary calling, saying that the owner of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Coffee Shop was a Hong Kong native named Su Wenbing.
Xia Zhengming frowned when he heard the name. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before. Then he heard the secretary say, "Mr. Su's son is called Su Wenshan."
Xia Zhengming suddenly realized, "What is the relationship between Su Wenbing and Su Wenshan?"
"I need to investigate further," said the secretary.
Xia Zhengming hummed, hung up the phone, and told him about Su Wenbing's situation. Xia Qingzhang frowned and asked, "Is he from the second branch of the Su family?"
The Su family was a long-established family in Kyoto, as was the Xia family. Xia Qingzhang and Su Mingchang were of similar age and had played together in their youth. It was he who had previously arranged for the Su family to return to the mainland for development.
Therefore, he knew something about the Su family's situation.
"I'll call Mingchang," Xia Qingzhang said as he picked up the phone and dialed a number. Su Mingchang answered the call and said sarcastically, "Xia Qingzhang, you are a wealthy family like the Xia family, how could you think of calling a commoner like me?"
Xia Qingzhang didn't expect Su Mingchang to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You know everything?"
"Humph, who in Kyoto doesn't know this now? Your Xia family is truly powerful!" Su Mingchang continued to speak sarcastically. "What's it to you if someone's child writes a book? Look at what you've done to the child after bullying him?"
Su Mingchang kept thinking about recognizing his grandson. Now, anything related to his grandson was a big deal. Even his grandson's childhood sweetheart was a big deal.
Xia Qingzhang was no fool, so he couldn't help but hear the meaning behind Su Mingchang's words. He asked, "Are you related to the Gu family as well?"
Su Mingchang wanted to stand up for Gu Siqing openly, but he couldn't, feeling aggrieved. So, naturally, he spoke in a bad mood, "Isn't it okay for me to be helpful?"
"Okay, you can be as helpful as you want," Xia Qingzhang said. "Let me ask you, is Su Wenbing from the second branch of your Su family?"
Hearing him mention Su Wenbing, Su Mingchang's voice became serious, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Xia Qingzhang told Su Mingchang about how Su Wenbing had shut down the Gu family store in the name of helping Xia Yuan. Su Mingchang was silent for a long time before saying, "I see. I just found out he came to the mainland, too. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We're at loggerheads with the second branch right now. I'll discuss the details with you tomorrow."
Xia Qingzhang realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "Okay, let's get together tomorrow."
"Okay," Su Mingchang wanted to hang up, but then he said, "What your daughter did was too much. Xiao Si is such a good child, and you have bullied her for several years."
"What is your relationship with the Gu family?" Xia Qingzhang asked.
Su Mingchang snorted, "I won't tell you."
Then he hung up the phone with a snap. Xia Qingzhang stared at the receiver for a moment, muttering, "The Su family is somehow related to the Gu family. They seem to be doing pretty well."
After hearing what he said, Xia Zhengming clenched his fists. It seemed that it would be a tough battle for him to apologize tomorrow.
After Su Mingchang hung up the phone, he called Su Wenshan over and told him what Su Wenbing had done. Then he asked, "What do you think he meant?"
Su Wenshan thought for a moment and said, "The Hong Kong police are investigating him. He came to the mainland probably to escape. He happened to meet Xia Yuan from the Xia family. He probably took action to get close to the Xia family. But he didn't know that except for Xia Yuan, no one else in the Xia family would date him."
