"Did the previous one die?" Qiao Chiruo asked. "Was he killed by the Di family?"
"Why are you asking this?" Qiao Kehai was surprised.
"I'm just curious about how the Di family climbed up the ladder." Qiao Chiruo's eyes flashed with thought.
"The Di family used to be serious businessmen. Their power in Southeast Asia is inseparable from their wealth! So, people still need money. Money can get things done!"
"You mean, the Di family relied on money to get to where they are today?" Qiao Chiruo asked.
"That's definitely not the case. It also requires strategy and tactics. Look at what tactics the Di family has used since they took control of Southeast Asia. They're much more ruthless than the previous one. As the saying goes, if a person isn't ruthless, his position won't be stable. That's exactly what it means."
"So, the previous one lost and was killed?"
"He must be dead."
"What are you looking at?"
"I haven't seen it. But if the Di family wants to dominate the world, how could they keep someone who once threatened them?"
"Since the Di family is not a serious businessman, why did they want to develop here and even started a bloody struggle. China is such a remote place, and they are all Chinese. What did they think? Could it be that they changed their minds for some reason?" Qiao Chiruo asked.
She knew something that Chokohai didn't.
That is, the young master of the Di family, Di Bao, was never in the castle before.
Her former name was Tao Bao.
Although it was not just speculation, she felt that by connecting the two, the Di family had a legitimate reason to go to Southeast Asia to compete for power.
Because my sister is missing.
My sister’s disappearance must be related to the previous overlord.
"Maybe it's because of their parents? The reason is not clear, but the third son of the Di family is quite cruel, so don't provoke him unless necessary." Qiao Kehai thought about the war in the past. As a supporting role, he was still scared and had nightmares for several days.
Therefore, he later became quite wary of the Di family.
Considering the marriage relationship between his eldest daughter and the eldest son of the Di family, he would not have any thoughts about the Qiao family.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor's family simply cancelled the marriage.
It was called an arranged marriage, but in fact it was just the Qiao family marrying up.
It's really high-reaching! Who would have thought that it's not even high-reaching?
But in the end, the eldest daughter died, and the Di family looked down on the younger daughter.
Apart from the bitterness of that battle, I'm afraid there is nothing left.
"Anyway, our Qiao family is getting worse and worse. Chi Ruo, Dad can only rely on you now." Qiao Kehai said. Being suppressed by the Di family, he can only muddle along like this.
Qiao Chiruo thought for a moment and said, "Are you hiding anything from me? About the Di family."
Qiao Kehai was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said, "What could I possibly be hiding from you? If I don't tell you, then I can't tell you. As a girl, you're only thinking about finding a good husband in the future. That's better than anything else!"
"Except for the Di family, forget about the others!" Qiao Chiruo looked down on them, and after saying that, he stood up and left.
Qiao Kehai felt that her demands were too high.
He also wanted her to marry into the Di family! Any of the three brothers of the Di family would do, but could this be possible just because he wanted it?
At school, Si Tai was going to the toilet when someone called him——
"Is that little Sitai?"
Si Tai stood there, looking at the strange woman walking towards him.
"I'm the aunt in the cafeteria, I know you!" said the woman.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Someone knows something about your mother. Do you want to know?"
Si Tai pursed his lips, not knowing what she meant.
"That man said he had something to tell you about your mother's death. Aren't you curious about how your mother died?"
"He's sick."
"This is what adults tell children. I know someone who knows about this, you can call him and ask. If you're worried about being told off by an adult, you can secretly use someone else's phone to call. Right?" After the woman taught him the ropes, she gave him a piece of paper with a number on it and left.
Si Tai stood there, small and somewhat helpless, looking at the note in his hand.
Didn't Mom die of a disease? But Uncle and Baba both said it was a disease...
After Si Tai returned home, Si Maoqing took out all the necessary textbooks from his schoolbag, saying as he did so, "I remember we also had to write English words, right? Oh, kids like you have to learn that. We didn't learn it until we were in middle school back then. But early childhood education has its advantages. I'm telling you, Si Tai, you must study hard. Only by studying can you have a bright future. Although studying isn't everything, it's definitely essential! Look at Dad. He used to think he had money, so it didn't matter if he studied well or not. Look at you now. He's got no money, no knowledge, and he doesn't know anything... But Dad is six years old now, and I can only rely on you. You have to work hard, okay?"
Si Tai sat next to him without saying a word.
"Come on, write!"
"Dad, how did Mom die?"
Si Maoqing's question startled him, "...He died of illness. Didn't I tell you?"
"Did he really die of illness?"
"Of course you are! Did you listen to something you shouldn't have in school? Don't worry, we just need to study our own books! Let me tell you, your brother Si Yuanqi is a top student and very smart! You are my son, you will definitely not be worse than him!" Si Maoqing put down the pen for him, "Go ahead, Daddy will get you something to eat!"
Si Tai held the pen in his hand and didn't move.
I want to know how my mom died...
Did you tell him the truth?
The woman's words made him want to call a stranger. Why would the stranger know?
At night, Si Tai took advantage of Si Maoqing's sleep and ran to the side hall to call the house with the phone number at home.
"Hello?"
Si Tai hesitated.
"who?"
"...I'm Si Tai." Si Tai didn't recognize the processed voice. "Who are you?"
"I'm your mother's friend."
"Then do you know how my mother died?"
"It must have been Si Minghan who killed him."
Si Tai stood there, holding the phone without saying a word.
"I didn't want to tell you, but even though you're a child, you have the right to know the truth."
"My mother died of a disease..." Si Tai was unwilling to believe that his brother killed his mother.
"He committed murder, so your family kept it secret. If it was someone else, they would have made a big fuss about it long ago, right?" the other person said.
"Brother won't kill Mommy..." Si Tai's eyes were filled with tears.
"He not only killed your mother, but also killed Si Yuanqi, your biological brother. Even your sister Tao Bao knew about this. It's just that everyone kept it from you!" The other party continued to instigate.
"I don't believe it...my sister is very kind to me."
"I'm sorry for what I did to you and I want to make it up to you. Things were very complicated back then. Think about it, why were you originally Si Yushan's son but ended up being Si Maoqing's son? You'll understand when you grow up. I'm your mother's friend and I would never lie to you."
