Chapter 179
Qin Xiang didn't expect Ge Lijuan to contact Miao Sheng so quickly. She couldn't help but be curious about Ge Lijuan's attitude. "What did she say?"
Miao Sheng didn't dare to hide it. "The old lady said she won't get involved in this matter anymore, as long as no one gets killed."
Qin Xiang was stunned when she heard this. She had not expected Ge Lijuan to have such an attitude. Perhaps she had underestimated the old lady's feelings for Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Xiang then explained Meng Huaiqing's intentions, and Miao Sheng said he understood. "Don't worry, since the old lady doesn't care, then we won't be polite."
Qin Xiang smiled, "Then I'll wait and read the newspaper."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang couldn't help but feel excited, wondering what secrets of the Jiang family's young masters would be revealed.
This is how things are. You can't blame me for being unjust just because you are unkind. Meng Huaiqing is hers now.
Two days later, Miao Sheng returned from Hong Kong. In the ward, he took out a stack of newspapers from his bag and placed them in front of Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing. "Miss Qin, Mr. Qin, everything is here."
The newspaper industry in Hong Kong is now very developed, and there are countless tabloids. Qin Xiang knew at a glance that there were quite a few.
She picked up a newspaper at random, found the most conspicuous place, and couldn't help laughing when she saw the headline.
"Shock! The second young master of the Jiang family is actually gay."
Looking at the content again, it detailed the situation of the second young master of the Jiang family hanging out with a man in his thirties in a nightclub. The man's name and workplace were clearly written. To prove that this was true, there was also a photo of the second young master of the Jiang family and the man kissing on the roadside.
Look at other tabloids, they also write about this.
Miao Sheng explained, "If we release everything at once, it will inevitably distract everyone. It's better to release it bit by bit. When the impact of this piece of news is small, and everyone is about to forget, we can release another one to refresh their memory."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Miao Sheng, you are really bad."
Miao Sheng smiled slightly, "Thank you Miss Qin for the compliment."
He was grateful to the old lady for bringing him back, but he also grew up with Meng Huaiqing, and naturally their relationship was incomparable to others. Miao Sheng also knew that his future depended on Meng Huaiqing, so how could he not stand on Meng Huaiqing's side?
After finishing all this, he hurried to Yangcheng, with the goal of preventing the Jiang family from finding him. As for the Jiang family going to find the old lady, he had no control over it, and it depended on whether they dared to go.
After Miao Sheng finished speaking, he went out. Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing leaned against each other and looked through the newspapers.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh, "Hong Kong City is really willing to report this."
Although the Hong Kong media industry is no longer as glorious as it was in the 1980s and 1990s, the attributes of paparazzi are still talked about endlessly.
These news are in prominent places, and it would be difficult for the Jiang family to suppress them.
Even if they clarified it later, it was powerless because the photo was too obvious. Not only was there a French kiss, but their hands were also not honest. It was obvious what they were doing.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at Meng Huaiqing, "You've prepared everything."
Meng Huaiqing smiled calmly, "As long as there is money, there will be private detectives willing to work for me. Similarly, as long as the Jiang family is willing to pay, there will naturally be private detectives who will follow me and find evidence against me."
"So what privacy does Mr. Meng have that he's worried about being caught?"
Meng Huaiqing said seriously, "If you mind our relationship being exposed, then this is my leverage. If you don't mind, then I have nothing to worry about being caught with."
This throws the choice to Qin Xiang. Not caring means that it is possible that their relationship will be known to the entire Hong Kong city.
Qin Xiang rubbed the newspaper in his hand, thinking about this incident, "If everyone is arrested, it shouldn't be known to anyone, right? After all, the paparazzi in Hong Kong can't come to the mainland."
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Of course."
For him, he wanted to tell the world that they were lovers, but Qin Xiang was troublesome, and Meng Huaiqing didn't want to challenge Qin Xiang's bottom line.
At this time, the Public Security Bureau's investigation was almost complete.
As they thought, this was a conspiracy. The two drivers who hit people were both locals from Guangzhou. They both had criminal records and even committed crimes again not long after they were released from prison.
After a long interrogation, we only knew that they were paid to do the job. As for the middleman who paid the money, he was dressed in ordinary clothes and spoke Cantonese, and we didn't know where he was from.
There is no surveillance at this stage, and there is a lot of personnel movement. If we follow the clues, we won’t find even a ghost.
Later, the Public Security Bureau continued to search for clues along the lines of the two cars, and finally found only a record of a batch of auctions at the customs. However, these were vehicles from two years ago, and the owners had already left the country.
So apart from the driver, there was no trace of the mastermind behind the scenes.
The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau personally came to the hospital to talk to Meng Huaiqing about the incident and stated, "We will not close this case and will continue to pay attention to it, but this is all we can do for now."
In recent years, Guangzhou has developed rapidly, and people from all over the country are flocking to Guangzhou. The population flow is extremely large. Finding such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Meng Huaiqing invested and built in the mainland, but now something has happened and he has not been able to find the murderer behind it. Even the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau feels guilty.
But this is the way the times are, and all investigative methods can only rely on manual labor, which sometimes makes us easily passive.
Seeing the deputy director's guilty look, Meng Huaiqing didn't want to push him too far, so he just comforted him, "This isn't your fault either. As for who's behind this, I have some guesses. We can leave it at that for now."
After sending the man away, Qin Xiang asked doubtfully, "Do your brothers have the ability to do this so flawlessly?"
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "They don't have this ability, but their mother does."
So Meng Huaiqing gave Qin Xiang some basic knowledge, "Now my stepmother, his principal wife, has a family that has developed in Hong Kong City over the years and has gained considerable influence. She is my second brother's uncle and is quite capable. My stepmother is also very scheming and has caused a lot of trouble over the years. If nothing unexpected happens to me, because my father wants me to return to take over, they are panicking. She probably joined forces with the other three concubines to plan this."
Qin Xiang was surprised, "That's really amazing."
One second they could be fighting for favor, and the next they could unite to deal with the eldest wife's children. This is almost like the palace fighting in ancient times.
Meng Huaiqing smiled indifferently, "Yeah, if I wasn't so powerful, I wouldn't have been able to trick grandma into keeping me at home."
Meng Huaiqing didn't want to recall these things, and it was enough for him to know that it was them who did it.
"Just wait and see, maybe the old man will come to me personally."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Does he have the nerve to do that?"
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "Face is sometimes the least important thing."
Almost two days after these words were spoken, when Meng Huaiqing's wound had healed well and he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Jiang Licheng called him.
Miao Sheng's face looked grim as he walked in with a mobile phone in his hand. "Sir, Mr. Jiang is looking for you. He hopes you can go back to Hong Kong City."
Meng Huaiqing's eyes were cold, "I'm in the hospital."
Miao Sheng felt his scalp tingling and nodded, "Yes, but..."
"No buts." Qin Xiang helped Meng Huaiqing lie down and said to him with a smile, "The injury is on the head, and the extent of the injury is unknown. The doctor said that he cannot be discharged for the time being. Even if he is discharged, he needs to rest and is not suitable for moving."
Miao Sheng understood and said quickly, "Yes, I can't go back to Hong Kong City for the time being. Besides, the government project in the capital is imminent. Even if the boss recovers, he will have to go there. Compared with family matters and work, work always comes first."
Qin Xiang nodded in satisfaction, "Indeed, Miao Sheng is worthy of being Mr. Meng's most proud assistant."
Miao Sheng smiled for once, "I don't deserve Miss Qin's praise, this is what I should do."
Seeing that Meng Huaiqing tacitly agreed to this matter, Miao Sheng nodded slightly and then went out to handle the matter.
There is naturally policy support for Hong Kong businessmen to come to the mainland. If Jiang Licheng really wants to find Meng Huaiqing, he can just come to the mainland directly. It depends on whether he has the nerve to come directly.
Meng Huaiqing looked at Qin Xiang and asked, "Miss Qin, can I still be discharged from the hospital?"
Qin Xiang blinked, "Of course, but not now."
He would not be discharged from the hospital during the day. At night, he discussed with the attending doctor and left the hospital under the cover of darkness. At the door of the hospital ward, several of Meng Huaiqing's bodyguards were still taking turns guarding there.
To the outside world, Meng Huaiqing has not been discharged from the hospital.
In fact, they had already driven to the house that Meng Huaiqing had prepared.
At this time, it was already mid-August, and school would start in half a month.
Qin Xiang asked the doctor, and he said that the stitches on the top of her head could be removed in a few days. She would need to recuperate at the back, but she could move. If possible, she hoped that Meng Huaiqing would go to the capital with her and temporarily stay away from that crazy family in Gangcheng.
The only thing I'm worried about is Meng Huaiqing's company. After all, a technological dark horse that has emerged in Hong Kong City will not be given up so easily.
Of course, Qin Xiang felt that the development of the mainland would surpass Hong Kong City in the future, and the vastness of the mainland market was incomparable to Hong Kong City. It all depended on how Meng Huaiqing handled it.
When they got home, they settled Meng Huaiqing in the master bedroom, where all the necessary items were prepared, from bed sheets and quilt covers to slippers and socks. They were all big brands that were only available in Hong Kong and even abroad.
Qin Xiang asked him, "You take a nap first, I'll go make dinner."
Meng Huaiqing looked at her and said, "Let the chef come over to cook tomorrow."
But Qin Xiang refused, "You are still in the hospital now, so it's better not to alert the enemy."
"We don't have to worry about this." Meng Huaiqing took her hand and asked her to sit down, saying confidently, "Even if he knew I had been discharged from the hospital, he couldn't do anything to me. Just like you thought, he couldn't bring himself to come to the mainland and ask me to go back."
Qin Xiang understood what he said, "Okay, then I'll have the bodyguards withdraw tomorrow, but how do I solve the problem of their accommodation? I don't want to live under the same roof with the bodyguards."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "To be honest, both the downstairs and upstairs are my property. They will find a suitable place to live on their own."
Qin Xiang was stunned. Okay, he’s a rich man. There are six floors in a building, and the 234th floor have the same landlord. Brother Fang is definitely rich.
Because it was so sour, Qin Xiang gave a thumbs up, "Boss Meng's move is indeed extraordinary."
Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but laugh. He could actually buy land and build his own villa, which would make security easier to arrange. But living in an environment like this also had its advantages. It felt more like home than a villa. And this homely atmosphere was exactly what he longed for, so he chose this place.
Fortunately, Qin Xiang didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise it would have been a pity.
Who would want to live in a large flat when they have a villa?
Meng Huaiqing said, "I've already given you the house, so you'll have a place to stay when you come to Yangcheng in the future."
He then added seriously, "But I hope you can call me in advance when you come to Guangzhou so I can take care of everything and arrange work early."
"Will you arrange your work and come over to date me?" Qin Xiang couldn't help teasing.
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Of course."
"There's a saying that goes, 'A short separation makes a new marriage better.' Dating again after a breakup can create a different atmosphere. Don't you agree?"
His eyes were too frank, which made Qin Xiang seem to have ulterior motives. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Boss Meng is right."
She glanced at his head. The place where he had surgery was still wrapped in gauze. There was a long scar inside. Fortunately, it was on the top of his head. If it healed well, the hair could cover it. Otherwise, it would have been really disfigured.
Qin Xiang went to make dinner. Meng Huaiqing moved a stool and sat by the door, leaning against the door frame to watch her busy. After a while, he said, "I feel like this scene happened before."
Qin Xiang didn't even turn around, "You must be overthinking it."
"It doesn't matter if you thought too much in the past, just stop thinking too much in the future." Meng Huaiqing said, "Days like this are really enjoyable, I wish there were more of them."
Qin Xiang paused, "Then you can consider being a housewife and wait for me to come home every day."
"It's not impossible." Meng Huaiqing couldn't help laughing after answering.
In fact, both of them knew that they were the same type of people and had their own plans and arrangements for their careers. They both pursued successful careers, and love could only take a back seat.
However, through this period of time together, Qin Xiang also vaguely realized that Meng Huaiqing was more devoted and careful in dealing with feelings than she was, which led to Meng Huaiqing sometimes being too cautious in dealing with their relationship.
Qin Xiang doesn't expose things, and can adjust in time when there are occasional conflicts. This is a very comfortable relationship.
Qin Xiang prepared a simple dinner, two dishes, one soup, and a pot of rice.
The food was served on the table. Qin Xiang poured a glass of water for the two of them and said, "Let's use water instead of wine to celebrate your discharge from the hospital."
No one could have imagined that the Jiang family bastards would be so cruel as to use two cars to ram each other. Everyone else was fine, but Meng Huaiqing got a bloody head.
Meng Huaiqing was in a good mood and clinked his glass with hers. "Cheers."
As they ate and chatted, Qin Xiang also talked about her plans. "I recently reached a cooperation with a small factory. Although a batch of goods has been shipped out in the past few days, I have to take advantage of my stay in Guangzhou to check the progress of the autumn and winter models."
Wu Gang's side was actually okay, she trusted him more, but the other companies that Guan Zhibin took them to had only signed temporary agreements and had not yet fully supplied the goods. She still had to select suitable autumn and winter styles and it would be best to send them out as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing said, "I know the leader of the industrial park here. Do you need my help?"
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No, my business is only this big now. The clothes supplied by Wu Gang, the second garment factory, and Xiang Yanghong's three places already account for the majority. The rest is just extra. It doesn't matter how much."
As for the future, if the cooperation is pleasant, Qin Xiang will definitely increase the purchase volume, otherwise she would not be idle and uncomfortable. It all depends on the other party's attitude.
As for Guan Zhibin, the cooperation between the two of them ends here for now.
It's a pity, but all good things must come to an end.
A pleasant meal for two.
At this time, the Hong Kong city was plunged into unprecedented bustle after experiencing overwhelming tabloid publicity in the morning.
Jiang Licheng is actually a second-generation rich man. What is rare is that Jiang Licheng has shown outstanding business talent since he was young. He followed his father to make the Jiang family's business bigger and stronger, and married the eldest daughter of the Meng family, making the Jiang family a top wealthy family in Hong Kong City.
Later, Jiang Licheng's father passed away, and Jiang Licheng hurriedly took over the entire Jiang Group. Because of the old man's death, Jiang Group went through a period of decline and almost went bankrupt. Later, with the help of the Meng family and Meng Huaiqing's mother Meng Xiangyi, Jiang Group was propped up and secured its position as a wealthy family.
However, no one expected that when Jiang Shi was on the rise, the Meng family went downhill. After the eldest daughter of the Meng family, Jiang Licheng's first wife, passed away, the Meng family fell into a slump. Jiang Licheng quickly married a second wife, and then married his second and third wives one after another, and the family became prosperous.
The fact that the eldest son of the Jiang family changed his surname to his mother's caused a sensation in Hong Kong, but with the old lady making the decision, it was eventually left unresolved.
Over the years, even the Jiang family has not been without bad rumors. Every time, the Jiang family can use their financial strength to quickly suppress the matter before the report is released.
Unexpectedly, this time, multiple newspapers and media outlets simultaneously published the story, even the Jiang family's Chunhui Newspaper, which was owned by the Jiang family, was unable to react. Almost every newspaper covered the scandal of the Jiang family's second son extensively. The Jiang family's sworn enemy, the Chen family, was also clearly involved, having their newspapers advertise the scandal in prominent locations and on television.
Whether it is the upper class or the lower class people, everyone is discussing whether the second son of the Jiang family is gay.
The cooperation that the wives of several Jiang families had originally reached because of Meng Huaiqing was instantly broken, and the third, fourth, and fifth wives were eager to immediately draw a clear line with the second son of the Jiang family.
a shame.
There were paparazzi everywhere outside the Jiang family mansion. Even though the Jiang family also had a newspaper business and was wealthy, they could not withstand the siege of hundreds of paparazzi.
Jiang Licheng wanted Meng Huaiqing to come back to discuss and clarify the matter.
However, Meng Huaiqing did not respond directly. When Jiang Licheng heard Miao Sheng say that Meng Huaiqing had not been discharged from the hospital and was seriously injured, he understood what Meng Huaiqing meant.
This time we have a falling out. I don’t care whether you live or die.
Jiang Licheng was very angry.
None of the younger sons were promising, and the eldest son was capable, but he did not agree with his arrangements and ignored his orders.
This is because I still remember what happened in the past.
But his mother's death wasn't his fault. He worked so hard to support the company, wasn't it for his family? As the eldest son of the Jiang family, he abandoned the surname Jiang and changed it to Meng, which made him ridiculed for a while.
Now he wants to call her back to take charge of the family business regardless of past grudges, but Huai Qing has pushed the Jiang family to the forefront because of the foolish behavior of a woman with long hair and little knowledge.
In the morning, Jiang's stock price fell to the limit as soon as it opened, resulting in incalculable losses.
Jiang Licheng was so angry that he threw the cup, picked up the whip, walked out of the study and went straight to the second floor.
Jiang Licheng's wife, Mao Xinhui, was shocked when she saw this. She hurried over and hugged Jiang Licheng's arm. "Master, now that it has happened, beating him to death will not help. Instead of beating him to vent your anger, why not talk to the eldest young master about this matter as soon as possible and discuss how to reduce the impact on the Jiang family. As long as we can reduce the impact and get over this matter, even if you want to beat him to death, I will definitely not stop you."
"Our Jiang family prospers together and suffers together. I just can't understand why he treats his brother like this. It doesn't matter if he hates me, he just hates me for not taking care of him back then. It's understandable that he hates me, but he's his own brother. Back then, Xiaoqiang always thought of the eldest brother whenever he had something delicious. How could he have the heart to do that... And you are his father. He can hate me, but how can he hate you too? Doesn't he know that the Jiang family's reputation is above all else?"
Mao Xinhui was heartbroken and sincere, but she also put all the blame on Meng Huaiqing, "He hates us, he hates all of us."
Jiang Licheng threw the whip to the ground angrily, turned around and went back to the study.
"Miao Sheng, tell him that if he still recognizes me as his father, he should come back and deal with this matter immediately."
