"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!"
Su An heard the phone at home ringing incessantly. He looked outside and saw that his sister was still doing laundry. He was the only one closest to the phone.
Hello! Who are you looking for?
Upon hearing that it was a child, the other party hung up without saying anything. Just as Su An turned around, the phone rang again, and Su An politely inquired about it.
Hello! Who are you looking for?
This time, a cold, masculine voice came through the phone, "Is this Su Ning's home? Could you please let her answer the phone?"
Su An didn't know who was looking for his sister, so he shouted outside.
"Sis, someone's calling your phone."
Su Ning dried her hands, went to the main room, and picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Su Ning!"
The other party didn't speak, so Su Ning assumed they had hung up. She checked the landline and saw that the call was ongoing, so she asked again.
"Hello, I'm Su Ning!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, He Ci gripped his phone tighter and tighter, remaining completely silent.
Su Ning felt inexplicably flustered. She tentatively spoke, her voice filled with nervousness.
"Brother Ci, is that you? Brother Ci, is that you?"
Beep beep beep...
Before Su Ning could even feel happy, the other party hung up the phone. Su Ning knew that the person who called must be He Ci, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
A grand wedding, like a scene from a fairy tale, unfortunately failed to convey the romance and preciousness of love.
The bride's face was full of happy smiles, while the groom on the stage looked indifferent, as if he wasn't the one getting married today.
In the crowd, Luna's eyes reddened as she looked at the groom on the stage. Why! Why could Yu Ping marry He Ci? In terms of conditions and family status, in what way was she inferior to Yu Ping?
Qin Lu tugged at her skirt, "Nana, today is Pingping and Ci-ge's big day, you should restrain yourself."
Luna was unwilling to give up. "I've liked you for so many years, how can I just let go like that? Unlike you, you were fooled by my brother's sweet talk."
Qin Lu looked at Luca, one of the groomsmen, and her face fell.
“Before, I only had eyes for Brother Ci and couldn’t see that there were better people around me. If you just turn around, that person might be right behind you.”
It's often said that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. Qin Lu saw things very clearly. Xiao Lin's gaze towards Lu Na was different; it held emotions that others couldn't understand.
In the back lounge, He Zhan was with a group of his gang members, many of whom had gone through thick and thin with him. As his power grew, so did their hearts.
He wondered if his old comrades still supported him as before. Yu Zhengde had been waiting with his men for a long time. When he saw He Zhan and his group, he smiled and went forward to greet them.
"Brother He, you've arrived. No, you should be our in-laws now, today is the children's big day."
He Zhan's hug with Yu Zhengde was merely symbolic; only they themselves knew how much of it was genuine.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone got down to business. Today, not only the elders of the gang were present, but also members of the Qinghai gang from other regions.
He Zhan had his men bring out a map and spread it on the table, and all the big shots gathered around it.
He Zhan circled three territories and assigned them to Yu Zhengde, stating that he would not have to pay taxes to the gang for three years, and that as long as he did not violate the principles, all the profits would belong to the Yu family.
He Zhan ceded far more territory than they had promised; greed knows no bounds, and Yu Zhengde wanted even more.
"What if I'm not satisfied with what you've given me?"
He Zhan paused as he was about to sign, only to hear Yu Zhengde continue speaking.
“The Qinghai Gang was built by the eight of us. You’ve been the leader for so many years, isn’t it time for me to take the reins?”
Suddenly, Yu Huan and A Bao burst in with a group of men, all of whom were armed, and surrounded everyone.
Yu Huan walked up to He Zhan and said, "Uncle He, my father is right. You've been the leader for so many years, now it's our Yu family's turn."
"Your son, relying on your power, has harmed the brothers in the gang. As his father, you have failed to be fair and just. You are not worthy of the position of gang leader, Uncle He, don't you agree?"
He Zhan had long known that the Yu family was ambitious, but he hadn't expected them to have such a big appetite.
