Chapter 107 The marriage between the two families is put on hold
At the same time
Beijing Xiao Mansion
Xiao Yuquan had just finished practicing Tai Chi and was wearing a white training suit, looking like a monk practicing with his hair uncut.
He firmly believes that as long as he keeps exercising, keeps fit, drinks more tea, eats less spicy food, junk food, and resists pre-prepared meals, he can live a long life. He is only in his seventies, which is the right age for him.
After taking a shower, he asked his secretary to measure his blood pressure, which was normal. He picked up his work iPad and scanned the official voting data.
His advantage clearly outweighs the Mu family.
Now the two parties are tied, and he can win re-election with just one more vote.
The secretary at the side said, "Minister, ever since people on the Internet were discussing your relationship with Miss Yi Jiu, and Miss Yi Jiu announced that she was the heir of the Cheng family, most netizens guessed that you might be Miss Yi Jiu's grandfather, and your votes gradually increased."
Xiao Yuquan really likes these brainless fans. They have filters for Yi Jiu, and now they have filters for him. It's not in vain that he has spent money and time on Yi Jiu in the past two or three years.
Xiao Yuquan was in a good mood. He took a sip of Pu'er tea and asked, "Has the relationship between Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu progressed?"
The secretary was obviously well prepared. He opened his iPad and saw several clear pictures, which were the photos of Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu's doubles match, as well as photos of Lu Youning and Shen Feitong.
The secretary said, "We handed the photo to the marketing account to spread some heat. Yi Jiu took Luo Mingshu to play basketball, and it seems that they met their parents. Now, the number of fans who support Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu as a couple is increasing day by day."
Xiao Yuquan nodded, put the iPad on the table, pinched his nose, and lay down on the work chair. "Yi Jiu is an obedient child. He knows that he must make Chengjiang Group stronger in the future. He cannot do without the help of his grandfather. Although he is not in front of me, he is better than that rebellious girl who only knows how to make me mad every day."
There was a sound of something breaking in the attic. Perhaps Xiao Shaoci was going crazy again. Xiao Yuquan snorted coldly, "This rebellious girl is getting more and more outrageous. She is not satisfied staying at home. Will she be satisfied only if she is sent to a mental hospital?"
The secretary did not dare to say anything, as he knew that Minister Xiao disliked Xiao Shaoci very much. Anyway, as long as something was related to Xiao Shaoci, Minister Xiao's emotions would get out of control.
Xiao Shaoci looked like someone who had come to collect debts from his previous life.
"I got a piece of news about Miss Yi Jiu from the Mu family." The secretary hesitated for a while and decided to tell Minister Xiao the news.
Minister Xiao closed his eyes and rested, Mu Jia and Yi Jiu.
If the old man of the Mu family knew that his granddaughter He Jingxin was bullied by Yi Jiu several times, it would be best if he died of anger. He would not have to compete with him for the election and said gloatingly: "The surnamed Mu knows that Yi Jiu dumped He Jingxin. Is he sick? Then I will go see him."
"The Mu family signed the low-altitude economic project to Chengjiang Group."
"What!" Xiao Yuquan opened his eyes like a wolf when he heard the news. His cloudy eyes were filled with sinister viciousness. He wanted to vent his anger. But he thought that at his age, he should avoid getting angry because it would hurt his liver and kidneys.
Yi Jiu's gentle, sunny smile made him feel teased for a moment.
Those who can survive in the entertainment industry are two-faced and hypocritical. He was fooled by the filter of her fans.
Xiao Yuquan slammed his palm on the table, "Go and tell me about Yi Jiu and He Jingxin's divorce! If she doesn't set up a single persona, then I will make her fans break down."
The secretary quickly reminded him, "Minister, He Jingxin is the child of Minister Mu. We should not do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Prosecutor Luo Jialuo probably will not agree to a second marriage."
The Luo family in Beijing, the Luo family served as prosecutors.
This is why Xiao Yuquan wants to win over the Luo family.
A ring came from the landline. Xiao Yuquan picked up the phone. It was the voice of the old man of the Luo family. He said straight to the point: "Old Xiao, I received several letters of accusation about the Cheng family."
Feeling upset, Xiao Yuquan subconsciously said, "Didn't I overturn Cheng Zhoucheng's verdict? Is there any injustice in awarding him the first-class merit?"
Old Master Luo pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Old Xiao, it has to be you! You have a bright future and foresee things before they happen. Of the four children in the Old Cheng family, how did you guess that it was Cheng Zhoucheng?"
His words were full of sarcasm.
Xiao Yuquan quickly explained: "The three remaining children of the Cheng family are obviously good children. How could they be reported?"
After Xiao Yuquan finished speaking, he even wanted to die. Cheng Zhoucheng had been rehabilitated, and his character was naturally better than the other three children of the Cheng family. His words were self-contradictory.
The person on the other side did not dwell on this point and chatted about family matters: "Hasn't there been a reform recently? The supervision work is being fully implemented, and Haicheng is a pilot. When the Haicheng Discipline Inspection Commission was working, they found a letter from ten years ago, which was from Cheng Zhoucheng..."
Prosecutor Luo is very good at capturing the atmosphere and keeping people on suspense at the most critical moments, listening to the other party's pause, followed by the sound of drinking water.
"Gulp gulp."
"Old Xiao, I'm old. I feel thirsty when I talk too much. Don't mind it. Cheng Zhoucheng said in the letter that you are corrupt and have embezzled public funds for infrastructure."
He was corrupt, violated the law, and embezzled public funds.
These eight words hit Minister Xiao hard in the heart.
At the same time, it evoked some distant memories of Minister Xiao. Why did he take a year to rehabilitate Cheng Zhoucheng?
In addition to the pressure from all sides, what is more important is that Cheng Zhoucheng has collected a lot of things.
He searched frantically for these things that year until they filled two whole boxes. He then set the boxes on fire, and the raging fire burned away all his leverage, just like Cheng Zhoucheng.
His rebellious daughter killed Cheng Zhoucheng for him.
He was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Ah? Old Luo, don't you know me? A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. You also know that there are some grudges between me and the Cheng family. At that time, the Cheng family made a big fuss because of Su He's death." Although Xiao Yuquan was gritting his teeth in hatred, his words were calm.
What a great attitude of I am right, I am innocent.
Prosecutor Luo did not respond, but simply recounted the whole story to him, "You have heard about the car accident in Haicheng, right? It was a series of car accidents caused by Xiao Yaozu's drunkenness, which led to the collapse of the highway and caused extensive damage. Now the Transportation Bureau has found out that it was shoddy work. The director of the construction department at that time, I remember, was your brother, Xiao Yaozu's grandfather."
"It has become a hot topic. Several senior generals in the military region have requested to reopen the case of Cheng Zhoucheng. It is a coincidence that half a month after this letter of accusation was sent, Cheng Zhoucheng was gone..."
As a result, the phone was stolen.
An angry female voice came over: "Xiao Yuquan, you can tell who I am. I won't beat around the bush with you. I warn you, if my student Cheng Zhoucheng died because he reported your corruption and abuse of power, and finally died because of your conspiracy, you are dead."
Before Xiao Yuquan could say anything, the woman's voice rushed to Prosecutor Luo again, "Old Luo, I heard that you want to marry into the Xiao family. You want to marry your granddaughter Luo Mingshu to his granddaughter Cheng Jiucheng. You'd better think about it and don't get involved."
After saying that, he left.
"Why are you so impetuous? Would you like a cup of tea?" Prosecutor Luo complained on the other end of the phone and said to the woman, "Can you change your temper? I am not your soldier."
After a long while, "Mr. Xiao, it's best to take things slow regarding the marriage between our two families. The two children are still young, so we need to learn more about the situation."
Minister Xiao's face suddenly turned gloomy. This Luo family was really cunning, an old fox.
Needless to say, this old Luo deliberately reported this matter to the military region. He took advantage of the situation and pushed the marriage back. He made it clear that he was going to give up his power. But he did not say it for sure, leaving room for the Luo and Xiao families.
He couldn't say anything.
He opened the trending search and saw the report about a traffic accident in Haicheng.
[Recently, our Haicheng Public Security Bureau has opened an investigation into a series of rear-end car accidents. Xiao Mouzu was overdosed with alcohol......]
Minister Xiao saw it all from beginning to end. Xiao Yaozu was drunk driving and caused the car accident. The road collapsed because of shoddy workmanship. And the person who was in charge of the project at that time was his second brother.
Xiao Yuquan swept all the documents on the table to the floor. He was venting his anger and caught a glimpse of a man pushing the door open. It was a fat man in his sixties, and it was his second brother.
Shiu Yiu-cho's grandfather.
He didn't look for this bastard, but this bastard came to him.
"Brother, I have something to talk to you about." Before Xiao Erye could finish his words, Xiao Yiquan angrily scolded him, "Don't you know how to knock on the door? Come in and knock on the door. Are you a dog? How many times have I taught you to do your job here!!!"
"Brother, something big has happened! Yaozu has been taken to the police station. These bastards..."
Xiao Yuquan picked up his cane and hit Xiao Erye on the leg. He signaled the secretary to go out and close the door. He said angrily: "Didn't you listen to what I said? You are here to do your job. In my study, there are no brothers, only superiors and subordinates!"
Second Master Xiao cried out in pain. He didn't know what kind of bullet or cannon his eldest brother had eaten, but there was a strong smell of gunpowder. He knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Minister Xiao, Yaozu was arrested by the Haicheng Police Station. You should ask the Haicheng Police Station to release him. He is still a child, he is still young. We are the only child of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yaozu is a child.
A giant baby in his thirties who is always causing trouble.
He ruthlessly refused: "I can't help you with this matter."
Mr. Xiao hugged Minister Xiao's legs, tears welling up in his eyes, "Minister Xiao, you only need to make a phone call. Besides, this is a small matter, a drunk car accident. We just need to pay some money and bail Yaozu out first. You just need to use your connections, no one dares to give you face."
When he heard the name of Stanley Ho, Stanley Ho became even more angry.
He should have listened to Shao Yue at the beginning. Shao Yue said that the Xiao family tradition must be strictly punished, otherwise the Xiao family would definitely be destroyed by these people. If Shao Yue was still there, how could the Xiao family fall to this point.
"Yaozu is also your grandson..."
“Bang!”
Xiao Erye felt a chill on his scalp, and then all the hot water was poured on his head. The boiling water burned Xiao Erye's face. Xiao Erye covered his face, and the teacup shattered on the ground. Xiao Erye looked at Minister Xiao in disbelief.
"I won't have a grandson like this." Xiao Yuquan vented all his anger on his second brother, "It's you. Everything is your fault. If you hadn't spoiled him since he was a child, he wouldn't have committed so many crimes. How many omegas has he molested? How many times has he driven drunk? Did you ever intervene? Shao Yue wanted to take care of him back then, if you hadn't stopped him."
"Shao Yue almost beat my grandson to death."
"You're right! What about you? I asked you to embezzle one tenth of the public funds, and you embezzled one third for me. Now something's wrong, and it was your grandson who caused it. He should have died a long time ago, and he should have spent the rest of his life in jail! I should have listened to Shao Yue back then."
Shao Yue's words after words, and the tough measures that Xiao Shao Yue used to rectify the Xiao family's family style, made the Xiao family still silent.
Mr. Xiao Er thought of what Xiao Shaoyue had said to the Xiao family: If anyone doesn't know he's wrong, she will beat you until you know it.
When Mr. Xiao Er heard her name, he was furious. He rubbed his bleeding head and said, "Shao Yue, Shao Yue. Xiao Yuquan, Shao Yue is just your adopted daughter. You turned against me because of an outsider. Yi Jiu, the son of a bitch, is always against Yao Zu. Why don't you take care of her!!! If you don't bail Yao Zu out, do you believe that we will both die together? You can forget about being a minister?"
"What are you going to do?"
"If Yaozu can't survive, I will let Yijiu be buried with him."
"Minister, Minister, something big has happened." The secretary ran in from outside. "A group of reporters got the news from somewhere. They are surrounding Miss Yi Jiu and Miss Luo Mingshu, causing quite a conflict. Miss Yi Jiu said she would hold a press conference, as if to explain the relationship between you and her."
"When?"
"It said three o'clock, and it's starting now."
