Under the questioning of the queen mother, the king's father told her the whole story.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt so weak in her hands and feet that she almost sat down on the ground.
Originally, their family had lived a comfortable life relying on the dividends they received from the real estate group every year. But now the old man was set up by his good friend Li Xu, and the shares of the real estate group were mortgaged. If the funds could not be recovered, the shares of the real estate group would change hands.
Without the shares in the real estate group, although the Wang family is still wealthy in the eyes of ordinary people, it is definitely a far cry from before.
"Damn Li Xu, you have helped him so much over the years, and not only does he not think of repaying you, he actually turns his back on you and sets a trap to trick you. Is he still a human being? Why doesn't he just die?" Coming back to her senses, the Queen Mother immediately started cursing.
He knew his old man. Given his old man's caution in business, if the person who set up the trap was not Li Xu, his good friend of many years, but some other stranger, the old man would most likely not be fooled.
The betrayal of a good friend and the loss of a huge amount of money, either one of them is hard to accept, but now that the two are combined, the destructive power is doubled.
Even the Queen Mother was a little worried that her old man wouldn't be able to withstand the blow.
Wang's father's eyes were bloodshot as he said, "In the end, it's all my fault for not being careful enough. That's why that bastard had the opportunity to take advantage of me. If I had asked someone to do a detailed investigation before making a decision, I wouldn't have been fooled so easily!"
The Queen Mother said, "It's too late to regret now. This should be considered commercial fraud, right? Have you called the police?"
Wang's father shook his head and said, "We didn't call the police. With that bastard's cleverness, he would have definitely cleaned up the mess. Even if we called the police, it wouldn't have made much of a difference."
The Queen Mother handed over the phone in her hand and said, "Old man, no matter if it works or not, we have to call the police. It's not a big deal anyway. What if it works?"
Wang's father took the phone, gritted his teeth and called the police.
…
It was the next day that Fan Lihua learned that her father-in-law had been the victim of commercial fraud. As soon as she received the news, she and her husband drove to the villa where her parents-in-law lived.
After seeing her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Fan Lihua found that they both looked very haggard, obviously they did not get enough rest last night, especially her father-in-law, who looked as if he had aged several years in an instant.
As soon as they met, Wang Kang couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, what's going on?"
Wang's father no longer had the high spirits of the past, and said in a dead voice: "Ask your mother!"
Seeing this, the Queen Mother nearby told her son and daughter-in-law what had happened.
After hearing this, Wang Kang naturally started cursing. Uncle Li Xu had known his father for many years, and Wang Kang was also very familiar with him. He had never expected that Uncle Li, who had been nice to him in the past, would actually set up an elaborate trap to trap his father.
After scolding him, Wang Kang asked, "Dad, you used the shares of the real estate group as collateral for the loan. I wonder when the repayment period is?"
Wang's father said in a depressed mood: "The loan period is one year, and there are still eleven months left. If we can't recover the funds within this time, the shares of the real estate group will have nothing to do with our family."
Wang Kang frowned and asked, "Any news from the police?"
Wang's father sighed and said, "Because the amount of fraud was huge, the police acted quickly, but the bastard Li Xu had already considered this situation. As soon as the funds were in hand, he immediately went abroad and has now disappeared!"
Wang Kang frowned so much upon hearing this that he could have pinched a fly to death. Although he did not have a deep understanding of the law, he knew that the procedures for recovering property across borders were so cumbersome and complicated that it could not be explained in a few words.
This is also why in many movies and TV dramas, when the police are chasing criminals, one party often tries every means to flee abroad, while the other party tries every means to arrest the other party in the country.
Because once the other party flees the country, it will be extremely difficult for the police to catch him.
The Queen Mother said to her pregnant daughter-in-law sitting next to her, "Lihua, don't worry. Even if we lose the shares of the real estate group, our family can still live a decent life."
Hearing her mother-in-law's words of comfort, Fan Lihua comforted her in return: "Mom, I'm not worried about this, and you shouldn't worry too much either. Even if the family is really left with nothing, we still have my parents to rely on. Although my father doesn't have much assets, it's no problem for me to go back and ask him for one or two million!"
Wang Kang was deeply moved by his wife's statement. It is not surprising that a couple can share wealth, but it is rare for a couple to be able to share hardships after enjoying a rich life!
Wang's father also felt warmed when he heard this. His wife was indeed impeccable.
The Queen Mother was already very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and now she is even more satisfied. She grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Lihua, I'm very happy that you have this heart. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if we lose our shares in the real estate group, with the savings in my hands, we can live better than many families."
Fan Lihua nodded and said, "Well, no matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as our family is united, I believe there is no difficulty that cannot be solved."
After hearing these words, Wang's father's expression improved a little.
Next, the family's topic revolved around this matter. After all, the shares of the real estate group were the most important and major asset of the Wang family. If they were really gone, then their Wang family would no longer be a billionaire with unlimited glory, but would become an ordinary rich man with a net worth of less than 100 million.
As they were chatting, Fan Lihua suddenly had an idea and said, "Dad, Mom, if the police can't recover the money in a short time, I think we can find someone to try. Maybe he can solve this difficult problem."
Wang Kang couldn't help but ask, "Wife, are you kidding me? Even the police can't do it, who has the ability to do it?"
Fan Lihua said: "I think Master Jiang might be able to do it."
Hearing this name, Wang's father, mother and Wang Kang's eyes lit up.
Master Jiang is the matchmaker between Wang Kang and Fan Lihua, so the Wang family is naturally familiar with him. With his unpredictable ability to calculate, perhaps he can really help?
Thinking of this, Wang's father decided, "Lihua's suggestion is very good. Old woman, you hurry up and prepare the gifts. I will book a ticket to fly to Guangxi Province to visit Master Jiang."
Wang Kang replied, "Dad, I'll go with you!"
The king's father nodded and said, "Yes!"
…
The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.
Hong Xiaowei entered the Happy Marriage Agency accompanied by his mother, carrying valuable gifts in both hands.
Then, a young and beautiful girl in a professional suit came up and greeted them with a smile on her face: "Dear guests, welcome to the Happy Marriage Agency!"
Mother Hong also smiled and greeted, "Hello, young lady. We are here to see Master Jiang. Is Master Jiang here?"
The receptionist nodded and smiled, "Our boss is here. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."
"Okay, excuse me girl!"
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
When the receptionist walked towards the boss's office, Hong's mother and Hong Xiaowei looked around the matchmaking agency. The first thing that caught their eyes was a dozen clients, both male and female, old and young. Some of them were filling out information forms, some were talking to the receptionist, and some were on the phone.
The most eye-catching things are the banners hanging on the walls. Judging from the words on the banners, they were all given by customers, all of them expressing gratitude to Master Jiang, and they covered several walls.
Hong Xiaowei read the contents of more than ten silk banners, and then he heard the receptionist say, "Dear guests, please follow me. Our boss wants to see you."
So, Hong Xiaowei withdrew his gaze, carried the gift and walked towards the boss's office with his mother.
Soon, Hong Xiaowei met the famous Master Jiang. He was as young and handsome as he appeared on the Internet.
Without going into details about the greetings and self-introductions, Hong Xiaowei handed the valuable gift in his hand to Master Jiang, then sat quietly beside him, listening to his mother talking to Master Jiang about finding a partner for him.
"Master Jiang, my son is 33 years old this year, 1.79 meters tall, graduated from a 985 university, and currently works as a project manager in his own company. I hope you can help him find a suitable partner." After saying the polite words, Hong's mother went straight to the point.
“That’s no problem.”
Jiang Feng nodded, then looked at Hong Xiaowei and said, "Mr. Hong, what are your requirements for your other half?"
Although Hong Xiaowei did not expect that Master Jiang could really find the person he wanted, since he was already here, he might as well put forward his requirements.
Therefore, Hong Xiaowei said very bluntly: "Master Jiang, my requirements for my other half are actually very simple. As long as she truly loves me, not my money, that's enough."
When Jiang Feng heard this, he knew without even looking at his matching information that he must have been hurt in love, and it was most likely related to money.
And what Hong's mother said next also confirmed Jiang Feng's thoughts.
"Master Jiang, my son had a girlfriend when he was in high school. They dated from high school to college and then worked together for seven or eight years. They were even talking about marriage. Unfortunately, the girl didn't know how to appreciate the value of her money and eventually broke up with my son for money."
At this point, Hong's mother sighed, "It is because my son was hurt in this relationship that he no longer believes in love. Whenever he meets a girl he thinks is good, he will use money to test the other party. As a result, no girl can pass his test, which makes him even less trusting of love!"
Jiang Feng was somewhat amused and said, "Mr. Hong, you are doing it wrong. In the budding stage of feelings, you are testing the other person with money. How many people in this world can withstand such a test? Mr. Hong, ask yourself, can you withstand such a test?"
Hong Xiaowei said: "If I really love the other person, I believe I can withstand the test of money."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, “Mr. Hong, you have a good family background, and money may just be a number to you, so you think you can withstand the test of money.
But not everyone has a family background like yours. Let me give you an example. If you fall in love with a girl and are given a choice, if you give up this girl, you will get a reward of 10 billion or even 100 billion.
So let me ask you, what would you choose?"
Hong Xiaowei remained silent. No matter how hard he tried to be tough, he didn't dare to say that he could withstand such a test. That was hundreds of billions. Could he really give it up for a woman he loved?
Seeing that Hong Xiaowei remained silent, Jiang Feng continued, "Besides, liking someone is made up of many aspects. Even if you don't want the other person's money and talent, you will also want the other person's figure and appearance, or the other person's personality charm, etc.
So, as long as you like the other person, there must be something in that person that you want. In my opinion, as long as a person can maintain the most basic moral bottom line, there is nothing to blame even if she loves money. "
Mother Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Jiang is right. It is human nature to pursue money and sex. As long as we can stick to the most basic moral bottom line, it will be fine."
Hong Xiaowei also felt that what Jiang Feng said made sense. He asked, "Master Jiang, I have a question. If we don't test the other party, how can we know whether the other party can keep this moral bottom line?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Hong, you hit the nail on the head. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. It is indeed not an easy thing to fully understand a person.
However, I happen to be good at this. As long as you trust me, Mr. Hong, I can definitely help you find a suitable partner."
Mother Hong said quickly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Master Jiang. We have come all the way here to ask you to help us find a match, so we must trust you."
Hong Xiaowei's emotional intelligence is still good. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he can only nod and say: "Master Jiang, you are a nationally renowned matchmaker. I naturally trust you. Then my lifelong happiness depends on you!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Auntie, Mr. Hong, our matchmaking agency has been in business for two years. In the past two years, we have helped clients match tens of thousands of times and have never let them down. So you can rest assured that I will definitely find someone that will satisfy you, Mr. Hong."
Hearing Jiang Feng's confident words, Mother Hong smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I feel relieved with your words!"
Hong Xiaowei was also infected by Master Jiang's confident words. Originally, he just wanted to accompany his mother here to go through the motions and had no hope of asking Master Jiang to be a matchmaker. But after this conversation, he suddenly began to look forward to the person that Master Jiang was looking for.
Next, Jiang Feng asked Hong Xiaowei to write down his name and date of birth, and then the two sides exchanged some pleasantries before Hong's mother and Hong Xiaowei said goodbye and left.
