Chapter 235 Xiao Family
Yao Shulan naturally remembered it.
"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 top-quality Hetian jade Ruyi.
It is also worth a lot of money 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, a man saw that Xiaoyou had a connection with him, so he gave her 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. They were once as powerful as the Bo family."
Yao Shulan did think of it.
Everyone knows that there are four powerful families in Beijing.
Bo, Shen, Xue, Xiao.
These four major families almost monopolize all economic channels in Beijing.
But after all, Kyoto is far away from their city.
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 an expensive 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 she is very famous. On the day Xiaoyou was born, his wife also gave birth, and it happened to be at the Hemeijia Hospital. Do you 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 her condition is critical.
At that time, all the doctors and nurses in the hospital went to help.
The hospital was in chaos.
All the resources went there.
But although the woman eventually escaped danger, she gave birth to a stillborn baby.
Later I heard from the nurse at the hospital that the baby's indicators were all normal when he was born.
It was sent to the nursery as normal.
But because the day was too chaotic.
When someone took the baby out again, the baby had been dead for a long time.
That day, many people were affected.
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 Beijing circles is profound and far-reaching, far exceeding that of the Xue family and the Shen family.
For many years, they have been on par with the Bo family.
But it was also from that year.
The Xiao family gradually faded out of people'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 living in the country and some are living abroad.
The reason why Jiang Jinhui thought of this person recently was 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 had a narrow escape from death, but she gave birth to a child who died in infancy. Perhaps because of excessive grief, she moved her family abroad. But what does this have to do with Xiaoyou? Why did Mr. Xiao give Xiaoyou such an expensive longevity lock when she was born?"
Jiang Jinhui said, "The longevity lock was actually prepared by him for his newborn daughter, but his daughter died at birth, and Mr. Xiao was heartbroken. On the day we carried Xiaoyou out of the hospital, Mr. Xiao was in a daze in the corridor, staring at the longevity lock in his hand and crying. Xiaoyou happened to be crying at that time, which caught his attention."
"Strangely enough, Xiaoyou seemed to have a special bond with him. At that time, Xiaoyou cried so hard that I couldn't comfort her. Later, Mr. Xiao came over and hugged her. She immediately stopped crying and even smiled at him."
"Mr. Xiao was probably thinking of his own daughter who died young, and he felt happy and sad at the same time."
Jiang Jinhui looked into the distance, recalling the scene at that time.
"Hsiao Qishan held Xiaoyou and said: If my daughter had not died young, she would have looked like this. This child is exactly like my imagination of a daughter."
"At that moment, he probably thought of Xiaoyou as his own daughter. Before he left, he gave Xiaoyou the priceless pink jade pendant and told her that she could look for him if she encountered any difficulties in the future."
Yao Shulan also had a shocked expression on her face.
She only knew that Xiaoyou was born with a gem.
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: "When the Xiao family moved away, I couldn't contact them, but this time is a great opportunity. Besides, our status is different now. Although the Bo family is unwilling to give us practical help, no matter what, we are related to the Bo family, so our status is naturally different."
"This time when Xiao Qishan returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors, we will let Xiaoyou take the longevity lock to visit him. It would be best if we could adopt a daughter. I heard that Xiao Qishan is a generous and righteous person. When the time comes, I will mention the Jiang family's predicament in private, and 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, Xiaoxun 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 have to find a chance to tell her that it would be best if she 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 has always been upright and honest. She hates flattery the most."
"Why are you talking like that? Don't I 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 take the initiative to make friends with the Xiao family or get the jade pendant back, Shulan, you have to understand that Qingben Jiaren was not created by me. It is the hard work of your Yao family's ancestors. I have tried my best to maintain your business throughout my life. At critical moments, you have to play a role as well."
Yao Shulan seemed to be thinking about something.
Yes, Beauty is a brand founded by his father.
My father was a grassroots man. In order to marry my mother, who was a lady from a rich family, he specially created a brand to show his loyalty.
But in the end, he still got together with Yin Ruyun's mother.
Did it cause my 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 get it. I'll think of a solution." Yao Shulan said perfunctorily.
Jiang Jinhui smiled, thinking that Yao Shulan had figured it out: "Shulan, this is also a good opportunity for you and Xiaoyou to ease the relationship. You said that you and your daughter have had a good relationship for the past 20 years. I can see that she still cares about you the most. If you can open up your hearts and put aside the past grudges, our family of three will be the same as before. Which family in Rongcheng can compare to you?"
