58 It's retribution
◎…◎
Is there anyone from the Liao family still here? It's not that surprising that Chi Gu Ai was surprised.
During the war, Mr. Liao abandoned his wife and daughter and ran away with his concubine and her son. Liao Xiangyun didn't know where they went.
She was also angry because her father had abandoned her, and her mother's death stood in the way. Even after the country was re-established and the world recovered, she never thought of looking for him.
Why was he looking for them? Just to disgust him? Liao Xiangyun wished they were dead.
This way, she would feel more comfortable.
There has been no news from the Liao family for so many years, and Ikeyani Ai also thought that the Liao family had long since passed away.
I didn't expect that not only was there someone alive, but he also came out to snatch the house from me.
After receiving a call from Aunt Zhu, her godmother's comrade-in-arms, Iketani Ai knew that this trouble would be difficult for the other party to handle, so she decided to take a few days off and go to the capital.
There haven't been any major cases in the county recently, so Director Zhou readily agreed to her request for leave.
I heard that someone from the Liao family showed up to compete with her for the house, and Director Zhou also introduced her to a lot of connections.
Let her go to the capital and if she encounters any problems that cannot be solved, she can ask these people for help.
After packing some things, Iketani Ai boarded the train heading north.
To her surprise, she actually ran into Xu Zhongye at the next stop.
"Didn't I tell you? My grandparents' home is in the capital. I've pretty much developed the markets in several nearby provinces and cities lately. I'm planning to head north and try to expand my garment factory's business there."
Career is indeed a little pill for men. Now that his career is booming, Xu Zhongye is full of energy and vigor.
There was nothing to do on the train, but Xu Zhongye had no extra thoughts. Instead, he urged Chi Gu Ai to draw a few more design drawings when she had nothing to do.
I heard that the weather in the north is extremely cold in winter and there is a great demand for winter clothes.
Their factory previously produced mostly spring, autumn and summer clothing, but was rather short of winter clothing.
In order to successfully open up the northern market, we must have more beautiful winter clothes.
A few days ago, he called Iketani Ai and asked her to draw more winter clothing designs when she had nothing to do, but he never received a reply.
Since they happened to meet on the train today, Xu Zhongye naturally had to urge him a little more.
Ikeyani Ai felt her scalp tingling as Xu Zhongye stared at her like a criminal and urged her to draw.
Sure enough, none of the Party A’s are easy to deal with.
Do you really think that clothing design drawings are that easy to draw?
Although she had a lot of ideas in her mind, wouldn't it take time and energy to turn them into blueprints?!
She is so busy with work that she has no time to draw.
Of course, it was also because she felt she had enough money in her pocket and wanted to be lazy.
So when faced with Xu Zhongye's urging, Iketani Ai still felt a little guilty.
"Haha, wasn't it that I was busy with things at the bureau the other day and forgot about it? I can definitely draw, but this train is so shaky that I can't draw at all. Can I start right after I get back from the capital?"
Xu Zhongye wanted to say no, because he knew that one day late meant one day less money.
But looking at the train swaying back and forth with such a loud clanging sound that even the water in the teacup was shaken out, Xu Zhongye fell silent.
Seeing that he couldn't draw at all in this situation, he had to suppress his anxiety.
"That's what you said. Go back and start working right away. You need to draw more. Our factory is counting on you. Your share of the money I earn is included in my profits."
"I can't forget it. No matter what, I'll grab it just for the dividends."
At the same time, he also urged Xu Zhongye to find some more fashion designers.
As the garment factory's business grows and its expansion area becomes wider, more and more new styles are needed.
She has limited energy and is too busy to handle everything, so she urgently needs someone to share some of the design work with her.
Xu Zhongye also has a lot to say about this.
Do you really think he hasn't looked for it?
After all, Iketani Ai's energy is limited, and she also has formal work to do.
Knowing that he couldn't rely on Ikegani Ai alone, Xu Zhongye naturally hired a few fashion designers, hoping that they would share some of the work with Ikegani Ai.
However, to his disappointment, although it was okay for these people to imitate the clothes designed by Iketani Ai, it was still a long way to go for them to design good-looking clothes with their own style.
Not to mention asking them to design winter clothes independently.
Even if new people are recruited, the only one we can rely on now is Iketani Ai.
Those new designers are not really that bad, it’s mainly because his standards have been raised by Iketani Ai.
It is still too early to train these designers to a level that satisfies him.
Now, all we can do is make Iketani Ai more tired.
Although Xu Zhongye had some opinions about Iketani Ai's procrastination, he was not really so inhumane as to force her to draw on the train.
After finding a place to sit down, Xu Zhongye couldn't help but be curious about why Ikegani Ai went north alone.
Anyway, there was nothing to hide, so Ikegani Ai told the story of the Liao family members who appeared out of nowhere when she took back the Liao family's old house.
In order to help Ikegani Ai resolve the problem as soon as possible and return home, Xu Zhongye immediately patted his chest and said he would help.
Although he is not from the capital, his maternal grandparents are, so he can be considered a local tyrant.
With so many people who could help, Iketani Ai was not afraid at all of the Liao family's sudden appearance.
So what if the other person's surname is Liao and he's a member of the Liao family?
At that time, the old man surnamed Liao took away many of the family's properties, abandoned Liao Xiangyun and her daughter and ran away, leaving only an empty house for Liao Xiangyun and her daughter.
After so many years, if her godmother had not found someone to help her smooth things over and clear out the troublesome residents who refused to leave, the Liao family's old house would probably still be occupied by outsiders.
Since the house deeds and land deeds are now in her hands, it is impossible for Ikegani Ai to give them to others and let Liao reap the benefits.
After taking the train for more than a day, Ikeyai Ai and Xu Zhongye got off the train exhausted.
Neither of them took much rest and headed straight for the Liao family's old house.
When Ikeyani Ai rushed to the Liao family's old house, she saw a young man and woman trying to pry open the door.
"Stop it! Damaging someone else's door lock and trespassing into a private residence is a crime that can be punished as illegal trespassing."
Ikeyani Ai shouted and tried to stop it.
But the man in a suit with a frivolous temperament didn't buy it at all.
Not only was he not frightened by Ikegani Ai, who was wearing a public security uniform, but he rolled his eyes at her.
"Who are you to meddle in other people's business? My last name is Liao, and this is the Liao family's old house. I'm trying to pry open my own door, and even if you're the police, you can't do anything about it!"
Iketani Ai didn't know which descendant of the old man in the Liao family this young man who claimed to be surnamed Liao was, but she didn't intend to show mercy.
Seeing that he was trying to pry the lock and open the door, he rushed forward, grabbed him, and pinned him to the ground with a bang.
Liao Chengzu was suddenly knocked to the ground, his front teeth almost hitting the steps at the door. He struggled angrily and cursed.
"Let me go! You damn bitch! I'm from Hong Kong. If you dare to touch me, forget about this skin!"
At that time, people from Hong Kong were superior to those in the mainland and were treated with courtesy everywhere.
What's more, he is a Hong Kong businessman who is planning to invest in the mainland with "money", so he deserves special treatment.
With this understanding, Liao Chengzu felt confident and not afraid at all even when yelling at Ikegami Ai who was wearing a police uniform.
Seeing that he was talking dirty, Ikeyani Ai stepped on his back with more force and pressed his entire face to the ground in one go.
Liao Chengzu felt so sad when his front teeth finally came into close contact with the steps on the ground.
My teeth knocked my lip and it hurt so much that tears mixed with blood came out.
The girl next to him was stunned for a moment, but when she saw how miserable Liao Chengzu was, she realized what was happening and started cursing as well.
"Let him go! He's a wealthy young man from Hong Kong. If you hurt him, you'll be in big trouble!"
When Xu Zhongye heard this somewhat familiar shouting and cursing, his eyes widened suddenly.
Then, he rushed forward and pulled off the scarf that the girl was using to protect her head from the wind and sand.
Looking at the girl's familiar eyes and eyebrows, Xu Zhongye also started to curse at her.
"Fang Haiyun, you're such a jerk! Shouldn't you be studying hard at school right now? Why are you here? And even trying to break into someone's house with a thug? You're such a bad boy!"
"Zhong, Zhongye brother?! Why are you here?!"
Fang Haiyun was stunned by Xu Zhongye's sudden rush towards him.
She and Xu Zhongye are cousins. If he goes home and tells her parents that she skipped school to hang out, her parents will definitely beat her to death!
However, despite being afraid, Fang Haiyun did not forget to defend Liao Chengzu.
"Brother Zhongye, Chengzu is not a gangster. He is a rich young man from Hong Kong. He is a wealthy man who wants to invest in the mainland."
Because of her beautiful appearance, Liao Chengzu fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her.
She had never seen so many tricks to pursue people, and she was pursued by a rich young man from Hong Kong City, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
In just two days, he was fooled by Liao Chengzu's sweet words.
Not only did she skip school to hang out with him, she also went with him to break into the house.
Of course, she was so bold because she knew that the house she was breaking into was the old house of the Liao family, which belonged to Liao Chengzu's family.
The Liao family members pried open the door lock of the Liao family’s old house. Can that be called prying?
It's all because of the ignorance of the street office. They insisted that Liao Chengzu didn't have the land deed and house deed of the Liao family's old house and refused to let Liao Chengzu transfer the ownership.
They had no choice but to do this.
Seeing Fang Haiyun still making excuses for Liao Chengzu, Xu Zhongye was very angry with her.
I really don’t understand why Fang Haiyun, who was originally very well-behaved, suddenly became so rebellious and disobedient.
It must be this damn punk's fault!
Xu Zhongye glared hatefully at Liao Chengzu who was being stepped on by Chi Guyai, wishing that Chi Guyai would beat him harder.
Is this a wealthy young man from Hong Kong? Xu Zhongye scoffed at Fang Haiyun's words.
He worked in the clothing industry and could tell at a glance that the suit Liao Chengzu was wearing was not a good brand at all, and the style was a bit old.
This old-style suit might be enough to appease Fang Haiyun, who has limited knowledge, but it won't appease him at all.
A rich young man? Xu Zhongye thought he was a down-and-out scoundrel!
Seeing Liao Chengzu struggling and cursing, trying to turn over and fight back, Iketani Ai immediately gave him a big hug.
"You said your last name is Liao and you're a descendant of the Liao family? What evidence do you have? Also, do you have the title deed to this old house?!"
"You don't have any? You don't have any, so why are you pretending to be such a big shot?"
Liao Chengzu, who was beaten badly, was extremely unwilling and resentful.
When he learned that Chi Gu Ai was the real heir to the Liao family's old house, he felt even more resentful.
However, a man of insight is a wise man. When he realized that he was no match for Iketani Ai, he immediately softened his stance.
"Cousin? So you are my cousin. We are all family. Cousin, please let me go!"
Although Iketani Ai let Liao Chengzu go, she did not intend to recognize him as her cousin.
After scaring away Liao Chengzu who was still trying to pester her to establish a relationship with her and reminisce about the past, Chi Gu Ai waved at Xu Zhongye who was furious and wanted to take his cousin home to teach her a lesson, and went to the street office to find someone.
Liao Chengzu couldn't withstand Chi Gu Ai's iron sand palm and was temporarily scared away, but he ran back unwillingly halfway and followed Chi Gu Ai quietly.
Seeing that she was going to the Housing Authority under the guidance of the street office staff to change the inheritance procedures of the Liao family's old house, he suddenly became anxious.
He is no longer a wealthy son of the Liao family. The reason he returned to the mainland to fight for the Liao family's old house this time was that he was really desperate.
Back then, his grandfather fled with his father and concubine grandmother, and spent a lot of money to buy boat tickets to the port city.
Relying on the property he brought with him, his grandfather returned to his old business and established the Liao family wine-making workshop in Gangcheng. At first, the Liao family lived a decent life.
But as his father grew up, his prodigal nature began to reveal itself.
His grandfather's earning speed could not keep up with his father's squandering speed, so the Liao family began to go downhill.
Later, his father got involved in gambling again and owed a large sum of money.
In order to pay off the gambling debt, his grandfather had to sell most of the family property and then ordered his father to quit gambling.
But it’s not that easy to quit gambling.
After being well behaved for a while, his father became stubborn again.
This time the gamble was even bigger, and he directly lost the wine-making workshop that his grandfather had worked hard for many years.
After his grandfather suffered a stroke from anger, his father became even more lawless.
His grandmother, who was a concubine, could not live a hard life, so she relied on her still charming face to hook up with his grandfather's old friend and became his lover.
Then he was discovered by his grandfather, who was so angry that he died.
After my grandfather was angered to death, his old friend probably felt guilty and kicked out his concubine, my grandmother.
When his mother saw that his father was addicted to gambling and couldn't change, and that his concubine and mother-in-law were kicked out by rich men and couldn't even be a mistress, she divorced his father and remarried with him.
His father once again became addicted to gambling and owed a huge amount of money. The people from the casino found him and his mother and wanted him to pay off his father's debt.
His mother was forced into a corner and finally revealed the truth.
It turns out that he is not his father's child at all, but the result of an affair between his mother and her first love, who is also his stepfather.
Since he is not from the Liao family, he naturally does not need to pay off the gambling debts owed by the Liao family.
When Liao's father found out that he was not his child, he was furious.
But before he could do anything, he was caught by the casino staff and sold to Southeast Asia to do hard labor to pay off his debts.
Now no one knows whether he is dead or alive.
Fortunately, Iketani Ai didn’t know this, otherwise she would have cheered and said, this is retribution!
As for 'Liao Chengzu', who is not from the Liao family, why did he come to the mainland with the surname Liao to inherit the Liao family's old house?
It’s because his father lost everything in the Hong Kong stock market crash some time ago.
After his father went bankrupt, his mother suddenly remembered what the grandmother of Liao family's concubine had said to her.
It is said that they left the mainland in such a hurry that the Liao family had not been able to take away a lot of property, which was buried by Mr. Liao in the backyard of the old house.
Later they arrived in Hong Kong. The new mainland government was very unfriendly to people of their status, and Mr. Liao never found a chance to go back to the mainland to take his things away.
Now that so many years have passed, I don’t know if those things are still in the Liao family’s old house.
After hearing what his mother said, he didn't want to live a hard life anymore and immediately picked up the surname Liao, which he had abandoned for many years, and became Liao Chengzu again.
He returned to the mainland under the identity of a member of the Liao family, intending to inherit the Liao family's old house and the property buried underground.
What he didn't expect was that the original wife who was abandoned in the mainland by Liao's grandfather actually left behind descendants.
The other party was even faster than him and obtained ownership of the Liao family's old house.
Although his appearance temporarily stopped the change of ownership of the old house, it could not change the outcome.
It's because he doesn't have a house deed or a land title, and his identity is not so reliable.
In order to prevent Liao's father from paying off his gambling debts, his mother publicized his identity with great fanfare.
Many people in Hong Kong know that he is not from the Liao family.
If Ikeyani Ai asks someone in Hong Kong City to find out, she will be able to find out.
Looking at Iketani Ai's back, Liao Chengzu gritted his teeth in hatred.
It would be great if there was no person named Chi. Once he, the "descendant of the Liao family", appears, the Liao family's old house will definitely be his.
Since he couldn't snatch Iketani Ai away through formal procedures, Liao Chengzu decided to use some unorthodox methods.
He may not want the Liao family's old house, but he must take away the property buried under the old house.
He had pried open the door for this very reason.
But no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect Iketani Ai to come so quickly, and he was caught red-handed by her.
Thinking of this, Liao Chengzu also started cursing at Fang Haiyun.
Of course, he had a purpose in hooking up with Fang Haiyun, a girl from the mainland.
I wanted to use the other party’s family’s connections in customs to ship the unearthed items back to the port city.
I didn't expect Fang Haiyun to be so useless. She was frightened by her cousin and followed her cousin obediently.
What made him even more upset was that Iketani Ai was actually related to the Fang family.
Once he digs the things out, it will probably be impossible to use the Fang family's connections in the customs to transport them away.
After following Ikegani Ai for a while and confirming that she was going to the Housing Authority and would not be able to come out for a while, Liao Chengzu hurried back to the Liao family's old house.
Ikegani Ai, the true heir of the Liao family's old house, appeared. Although he didn't dare to pry open the door recklessly anymore, he didn't want to give up just like that.
Liao Chengzu planned to wait until dark nearby and then climb over the wall. He had to dig out the treasure underground before Ikegani Aiju could go in!
Otherwise, he would have no chance.
