Chapter 235 Xiao Family
Yao Shulan naturally remembered.
"Isn't that the engagement token we gave to Yan Feng and Xiao You when they were engaged?"
Yao Shulan remembered that the Yan family gave her a fine Hetian jade ruyi.
It is also very valuable and is still kept in her safe.
"Do you know the origin of this lock?"
Yao Shulan seemed to be thinking about something. "Didn't you say before? On the day Xiaoyou was born, someone saw that Xiaoyou had a connection with him and gave him this lock. Who did you say he was? I forgot."
"It's Xiao Qishan."
"Who is Xiao Qishan?"
"You are such a womanizer that you don't even know Xiao Qishan."
"The Xiao family is also one of the four major families in Kyoto. It was once no less powerful than the Bo family."
Yao Shulan did think of it.
Everyone knows that there are four wealthy families in the Beijing circle.
Bo, Chen, Xue, Xiao.
These four families almost monopolize all the economic channels in Beijing.
But after all, Kyoto is far away from their Rongcheng.
If it weren't for Bo Jinxiu, they probably would never have dealt with those people at the top of the pyramid in their lives.
Yao Shulan was very surprised: "How are you related to the Xiao family in Beijing? Why did they give Xiaoyou such a valuable gift?"
Xiao Qishan said, "I heard that Xiao Qishan's parents are from Rongcheng, and so is his wife. His wife used to be a reporter for our TV station and was very famous. On the day Xiaoyou was born, his wife also gave birth, and it happened to be at Hemeijia Hospital. Do you still remember a lot of things that happened that day?"
Yao Shulan was deeply impressed.
A lot really happened that day.
It is said that a pregnant woman suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth and is in critical condition.
At that time, all the doctors and nurses in the hospital went to help.
The hospital was in chaos at that time.
All the resources went there.
But although the woman was eventually out of danger, she gave birth to a stillborn baby.
Later, I heard from the nurse in the hospital that when the baby was born, all the indicators were normal.
She was sent to the nursery as normal.
But it was too chaotic that day.
When someone took the baby out again, the baby had been dead for a long time.
That day, many people were implicated.
The hospital closed down shortly after they were discharged.
I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Xiao family.
The Xiao family was originally a very prosperous family.
Their influence in the Beijing circle is profound and far-reaching, far exceeding that of the Xue and Shen families.
For many years, they have shared equal power with the Bo family.
But it was also from that year.
The Xiao family gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
Xiao Qishan and his wife moved abroad.
Xiao Qishan also gradually shifted his domestic business to overseas.
However, some of his sons are in the country and some are abroad.
The reason why Jiang Jinhui thought of this person recently was entirely because he received a piece of bombshell news.
Xiao Qishan will take his wife back to his hometown to worship his ancestors this month.
Yao Shulan said, "Mrs. Xiao narrowly escaped death, but ultimately gave birth to a child who died young. Perhaps overwhelmed by grief, the family moved abroad. But what does this have to do with Xiaoyou? Why did Mr. Xiao give her such a valuable longevity lock when she was born?"
Jiang Jinhui said, "That longevity lock was actually prepared by him for his newborn daughter, but she died at birth, and Mr. Xiao was heartbroken. On the day we carried Xiaoyou out of the hospital, Mr. Xiao was standing in the corridor, staring at the longevity lock in his hand, tears streaming down his face. Xiaoyou's tears caught his attention."
"It's strange to say, but Xiaoyou and him seemed to have a special bond. At the time, Xiaoyou was crying so hard that no matter how I tried to comfort her, it didn't work. Then Mr. Xiao came over and hugged her, and she immediately stopped crying and even smiled at him."
"Mr. Xiao was probably thinking of his own daughter who had passed away, and he felt both happy and sad holding Xiaoyou."
Jiang Jinhui looked into the distance, recalling the scene at that time.
"Xiao Qishan hugged Xiaoyou and said, 'If my daughter hadn't died young, she would have looked like this. This child is exactly like the daughter I imagined.'"
"At that moment, he probably treated Xiaoyou as his own daughter. Before leaving, he gave Xiaoyou the priceless pink jade pendant and told her that if she encountered any difficulties in the future, she could come to him."
Yao Shulan also had a look of shock on her face.
She only knew that Xiaoyou was born with a precious jade.
She thought it was a gift from Jiang Jinhui's business friend.
But I never thought there would be such an adventure.
Jiang Jinhui retracted his gaze. "The Xiao family moved away that year, and I couldn't contact them. But this is a great opportunity. Besides, our status is different now. Although the Bo family is unwilling to give us practical help, we are still related to the Bo family, so our status is naturally different."
"This time Xiao Qishan is returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, we'll have Xiaoyou visit with the longevity lock. It would be best if we could adopt a goddaughter. I've heard that Xiao Qishan is a righteous and generous person. If I mention the Jiang family's predicament in private, he will definitely not stand idly by."
Yao Shulan couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "I'm afraid things won't go as smoothly as you imagined. First of all, Xiaoyou may not be willing."
Jiang Jinhui frowned: "So we have to think of a way. If she really doesn't want to, it's the same if we go to visit her, but I'm afraid that after so many years, Xiao Qishan won't recognize me anymore. It's best to bring the jade pendant with me."
Jiang Jinhui sighed, "Some time ago, I met Yan Jiye, and he said that they had given the things to Xiaoyou a long time ago, and Xiaoyou is keeping the jade lock now. I still need to find a chance to talk to her about it, and it would be best if I could get the jade lock back."
Yao Shulan sneered, "Don't even think about it. Xiaoyou won't cooperate with your flattery. You know her character. She's been upright since she was a child and hates flattery the most."
"Why are you talking like that now? How could I not know her personality? I just want you to help me think of a solution."
"Anyway, I don't care. I'll leave this matter to you. Whether you can persuade Xiaoyou to actively make friends with the Xiao family or get the jade pendant back, Shulan, you must understand that Qingben Jiaren was not created by me. It is the result of the hard work of your Yao family's ancestors. I have done my best to protect your business in this life. At critical moments, you must also play a role."
Yao Shulan seemed to be lost in thought.
Yes, Qingbenjiaren is a brand founded by his father.
My father was a grassroots man. In order to marry my mother, a lady from a wealthy family, he specially created a brand to show his loyalty.
But in the end, he still got together with Yin Ruyun's mother.
Caused the mother to die of depression?
She doesn't have a deep affection for the brand.
If there is, it is not worth it for my mother.
"Okay, I understand. I'll think of a way." Yao Shulan said perfunctorily.
Jiang Jinhui beamed, thinking Yao Shulan had finally figured it out. "Shulan, this is also a good opportunity for you and Xiaoyou to ease the tension. You said you and Xiaoyou have had a wonderful relationship over the past twenty years, and I can see that she still cares about you the most. If you can open up and put aside your past grudges, our family of three will be just like before. What other family in Rongcheng can compare?"
