Chapter 241
As soon as these words fell, the air suddenly became quiet.
For the first time, Jiang Meishu looked at Zhao Xiaojuan with disappointment. "So, you watched me successfully marry Liang Qiurun, and you plan to copy my path?"
At this moment, Jiang Meishu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Her younger sister will eventually follow her old path, but Liang Qiurun and Qiao Jiahui are not in the same situation.
"Can't I?"
Zhao Xiaojuan subconsciously straightened her back, her chin set in a taut line. Her pretty face was now brimming with ambition. "My family can't compare to the Qiao family, but my mom is the director of the labor union, and my dad is a section chief."
"It's not the best, but for the capital, it's definitely not bad."
"At least." She looked up and quickly glanced at Jiang Meishu, and said in a guilty tone, "It's better than Sister Meilan's family back then."
What was the situation in Jiang Meishu's family at that time?
There are several children in the family, and they only rely on their uncle Jiang Chenliang who works in the unit. They even have difficulty in getting enough food.
But under such circumstances, Jiang Meishu was still able to marry Liang Qiurun.
Why can't she marry Qiao Jiahui?
After noticing the meaning behind Zhao Xiaojuan's words.
Jiang Meishu smiled instead of getting angry. "Alright, since you think you're better than me and your family is better than mine, then go ahead and give it a try. See if you can win over Qiao Jiahui and get into the Qiao family."
Zhao Xiaojuan was delighted at first, but then she became suspicious. "Sister Meilan, you agreed so readily. Are you going to say bad things about me in front of Young Master Qiao?"
Jiang Meishu sneered and turned away, "You really think highly of yourself and me."
"Zhao Xiaojuan, I wish you good luck and hope you can marry into the Qiao family soon."
Good advice is hard to give, so if that’s the case, it’s better to let go.
If you talk too much, I would think that it was Jiang Meishu who wanted to destroy Zhao Xiaojuan's plan to marry into a wealthy family.
Seeing Jiang Meishu leave so decisively, Zhao Xiaojuan stood there, biting her lips, not knowing what to say for a long time.
She had argued with Jiang Meishu before because she was angry. She didn't want to admit defeat and didn't want to show weakness in front of Jiang Meishu. But now Jiang Meishu really congratulated her for marrying Qiao Jiahui.
Instead, she felt a little less confident.
Qiao Jiahui is like the moon in the sky, and she is the mud on the ground.
Can the mud on the ground really reach the moon in the sky?
Zhao Xiaojuan didn't know.
In the office, most of the space was piled with goods. Now that Zhao Xiaojuan was gone, without free labor, Qiao Jiahui had to count the goods himself.
While ordering the goods, I felt that my life was miserable.
Fortunately, Jiang Meishu came in after a while, and Qiao Jiahui immediately looked up and said, "Sister-in-law."
“Why can’t I figure this out?”
It's hard for Qiao Jiahui. He is a guy who just relies on getting through junior high school. He has a headache after calculating so many complicated numbers.
Jiang Meishu really didn't want to bring Zhao Xiaojuan's temper to Qiao Jiahui, but when she looked at Qiao Jiahui's innocent and ostentatious face, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"If you can't figure it out, just point it out."
Qiao Jiahui said "oh" obediently. He didn't know why, but he couldn't act recklessly in front of Jiang Meishu. Of course, he couldn't act pretentiously either.
While he was working like a slave, he was watching Jiang Meishu's expression. After a while, he said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, you can't take out your anger on me because of outsiders. I'm so innocent."
Even if he was not very smart, he could tell that when Jiang Meishu first came, she was in a good mood towards him, but when she came in again, her mood turned bad.
Any fool knows why.
Jiang Meishu got even angrier after hearing this, okay?
She raised her hand and poked Qiao Jiahui's overly ostentatious face, "Look at you, why are you so dissolute every day? You're attracting girls chasing after you."
Qiao Jiahui died innocently.
"I really didn't. Ever since you warned me last time, I've really been holding back in front of your little cousin."
Jiang Meishu didn't say whether she believed it or not.
Qiao Jiahui immediately said, "I have a sweetheart in Hong Kong, and we're just waiting for me to get back together. You said I don't want the peonies outside, so what do I want for plain porridge and side dishes?"
Zhao Xiaojuan, who was outside, heard it and her face turned red with anger, tears streaming down her face.
She knew that the porridge and side dishes were referring to her.
Zhao Xiaojuan couldn't help herself any longer, and hurried back to her courtyard in Yangcheng from Pengcheng at night. Unfortunately, it was night time, and her family members were setting up stalls outside, so there was no one around. She hid in the room and cried.
Jiang Meishu, who was in the office, was unaware of this.
She just sighed, "Forget it, I don't care about your business anymore, whatever."
She really felt that it was a thankless job.
Who cares? Whatever Zhao Xiaojuan does is her fate, and the same goes for Qiao Jiahui.
It's not her turn as an outsider to take charge.
Qiao Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it."
He muttered quietly, "Sister-in-law, even my three sisters and my mother don't care if I date outside."
"They all think that I'm young now and that having a few dates outside will broaden my horizons, so that I don't become blind in the future and bring home a woman of questionable character, which would damage the relationship between us."
Jiang Meishu sighed and thought to herself that this was the difference between wealthy families and ordinary families.
In an ordinary family, if someone has many partners, whether male or female, they will be accused of being fickle. But with Qiao Jiahui, they come to gain experience and broaden their horizons.
All I can say is that people are different and their destinies are different.
She was too lazy to discuss this topic with Qiao Jiahui anymore, so she said, "Count the goods clearly and bring out a box of each item. We're going back to the family compound now."
She raised her hand to check the time. "It's just after eight o'clock now. When I get there around nine o'clock, everyone in the family compound will be asleep."
It is also convenient for them to deliver gifts at home.
Qiao Jiahui made a sound and immediately turned into a beast of burden and started to get busy.
Jiang Meishu went out and didn't see Zhao Xiaojuan here. She frowned slightly and looked around, but still no one was there.
Jiang Meishu pinched her brows. While Qiao Jiahui was checking the goods, she called his home in Yangcheng from the office phone, but no one answered.
She had no choice but to call the convenience store on West Lake Street again. After a while, someone at the convenience store answered the phone.
Jiang Meishu asked the owner of the convenience store to go find her mother Wang Limei, and the other party naturally agreed.
About five minutes later, Wang Limei came over and called back, "Hello."
"Mom, it's me. Xiaojuan is missing. I think she went back home. Go back and see if she's there. If not, look along this road."
Jiang Meishu briefly explained the situation here. Before she finished, Wang Limei's face had already darkened. "It's not easy to worry about."
"Don't worry about what's going on here, Xiaojuan. Just focus on your own business. I'll take care of it."
At this moment, Wang Limei really took on the responsibility of an elder. She would not let anyone hinder her children's career.
Even if this person is Zhao Xiaojuan, it won’t work.
Jiang Meishu was somewhat touched. She hummed softly, "Thank you, Mom."
Wang Limei waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this between us. It's Xiaojuan." She thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"But fortunately, you were right to ask your aunt to come. Her car will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will take Xiaojuan to pick her up and then hand Xiaojuan over to your aunt. We won't care about this mess anymore."
It's not that they can't control it. Both she and Jiang Meishu have tried to control it, but Zhao Xiaojuan just won't listen to anything.
It’s just like Jiang Meilan insisted on changing her partner.
When children grow up and have their own opinions, parents can only persuade them. Talking too much will only create a gap between the two parties.
These are their biological parents. If it were an outsider, they wouldn't even be able to persuade them.
After Jiang Meishu hung up the phone, she let out a sigh and said, "I really won't lead people blindly in the future."
In fact, this is not the case. Jiang Meishu brought a lot of people from the north, but none of them was like Zhao Xiaojuan.
Feng Jiahui came out at this time, "Sister-in-law, I have ordered everything here, can we go now?"
Jiang Meishu hummed, "Let's get in the car and go."
Feng Jiahui moved the goods to the back of the car swiftly. Only then did he look around and ask, "Why can't I see my little cousin?"
Jiang Meishu, "I guess he went back."
"Let's go back and do our business first."
She just hoped that Zhao Xiaojuan had gone back. She asked her mother to arrange someone to look for her, hoping that nothing had happened to her.
Qiao Jiahui didn't think much about it. He nodded, got in the car and acted as the driver. He stepped on the accelerator and started chatting with Jiang Meishu, "Sister-in-law, is it too late for us to go there now? Will we disturb Section Chief Li and the others?"
Look, Zhao Xiaojuan quarreled with Jiang Meishu over Qiao Jiahui and even turned against him. In the end, when Qiao Jiahui found out that she was missing, he didn't even ask a question.
To be honest, Jiang Meishu really didn't know where Qiao Jiahui's ambition to marry Zhao Xiaojuan came from.
Because of what happened with Zhao Xiaojuan, Jiang Meishu was also a little distracted. She shook her head and said, "No, I greeted Section Chief Li's wife, Mrs. Meng, this afternoon. Someone will be waiting for me at their house tonight."
Qiao Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing from the rearview mirror that Jiang Meishu looked unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Jiang Meishu stepped on the accelerator and looked out the window to see if Zhao Xiaojuan was outside, but there was none.
It takes a full twenty minutes to walk from the office to the family compound, and there is no one from Zhao Xiaojuan on this T-line.
Jiang Meishu hoped that she would go back obediently, otherwise she didn't dare to think about what would happen.
When we arrived at the family compound, it was completely silent. People generally go to bed early these days.
However, it was only nine o'clock, and the entire family compound was almost dark.
Jiang Meishu asked Qiao Jiahui to turn on the car lights, and she went to call Liang Qiurun to come down to help move the goods.
There are seven or eight boxes in total, which is quite a lot.
Liang Qiurun frowned slightly, "Why are there so many?"
Qiao Jiahui explained quietly, "I buy melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and fruit by the box. Basically, seven varieties, plus a box of children's toys and comic books."
Liang Qiurun understood what was going on. He nodded and said, "Then go up now, and be gentle."
Qiao Jiahui naturally knew.
Liang Qiurun and Qiao Jiahui were in the front, carrying four boxes each, which reached their chins. They even had to look out of their heads while walking, otherwise they might overturn the cart.
Jiang Meishu was left empty-handed.
She was still a little embarrassed, so she chased after him and led the way outside. When they arrived at the door of Li's house, Jiang Meishu didn't knock, but just pushed it gently.
Meng Juan left the door open for Jiang Meishu, just enough for a crack. The lights were off at home, and she sat in the main room waiting.
Hearing the noise outside, she turned on the light and hurried over.
Jiang Meishu saw Meng Juan and smiled, "Sister-in-law, thank you for waiting so late."
Meng Juan was originally nervous, but when she saw Jiang Meishu's smile, she felt a little relieved. "I thought you wouldn't come tonight."
Jiang Meishu, "How could that be? Something was delayed a bit."
As he was saying this, Qiao Jiahui came in carrying things, almost filling up the Li family's living room.
Meng Juan was surprised, "Why are there so many?"
Jiang Meishu, "There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Sister-in-law, please take a look here first. If it's suitable, I will ask Jiahui to bring everything in tomorrow night."
Meng Juan opened all the cards and was more and more shocked. "This is too expensive."
Meng Juan naturally knew about White Rabbit milk candy and Swiss candy, especially the latter Swiss candy. She had seen it in overseas Chinese stores, but she had never been willing to buy it because it was too expensive.
"These are local specialties of Hong Kong and are not worth much."
Qiao Jiahui explained in a low voice.
Of course, this is worthless only to Qiao Jiahui.
Meng Juan didn't say anything. She continued to look down. There were boxes of bananas, apples, and mangoes. These were not cheap fruits either.
Meng Juan thought for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on this. I'm going to ask my husband, Lao Li, to come out and take a look. Do you mind?"
Jiang Meishu, "Of course I don't mind."
Their original purpose was to get Section Chief Li.
Without Meng Juan knocking on the door, Section Chief Li came out of the small bedroom by himself. He didn't come out originally to avoid suspicion, but he could hear almost everything in the house.
When his wife asked him to keep watch, he pushed the door open and came out. When he saw the boxes placed at the door of the bedroom, it was almost impossible to step in.
Section Chief Li's eyebrows jumped, "So many?"
Qiao Jiahui immediately responded, "There are a lot of people at China Merchants Bank. If everyone gets a bag, there won't be much left."
She looks so innocent and naive.
Jiang Meishu silently praised him. Seeing that Section Chief Li had no impression of Qiao Jiahui, Jiang Meishu took the opportunity to introduce him, "Section Chief Li, this is Comrade Qiao Jiahui. He was also the one who auctioned Xiaodongmen at the auction last time."
The land in Xiaodongmen is not small. It ranks second and is only a little smaller than Jinsha.
Section Chief Li immediately knew where Qiao Jiahui came from. The Qiao family of Hong Kong was the second Hong Kong businessman after Li Chengdong.
This is also the big customer that Pengcheng needs the most.
So Section Chief Li's attitude changed, "Since it was donated by Comrade Qiao, then accept it."
"I'll call Secretary Xiao over to register it."
It would be difficult to donate this amount through an individual. The boxes in the house alone would probably cost hundreds of dollars, and these are just samples.
It is still unknown how many items the other party has obtained in total.
Jiang Meishu and the others naturally agreed.
Secretary Xiao came quickly, registered the items, and then moved them to the China Merchants Bank office.
However, the commotion going back and forth was naturally quite loud.
Fortunately, it was night and everyone was resting, so few people got up to watch.
At the very end, Section Chief Li personally came out to see them off, "Comrade Jiang, Comrade Qiao, on behalf of the entire China Merchants Group, I thank you."
Jiang Meishu waved her hand.
Qiao Jiahui even said, "No, I want to thank Section Chief Li for giving us this opportunity."
Having said this, Jiang Meishu felt that Qiao Jiahui was quite good when it came to dealing with interpersonal relationships.
"Chief Li, no need to send me off. I'm going to my sister-in-law's house to rest."
This statement could easily be misunderstood, but fortunately he was saying it in front of Liang Qiurun, otherwise, if outsiders heard it, they would think that Qiao Jiahui and his sister-in-law were having an affair.
Section Chief Li's smile widened a bit, "Then slow down."
After Section Chief Li went in.
Qiao Jiahui and Liang Qiurun went down the stairs. Liang Qiurun glanced at him, and Qiao Jiahui immediately raised his hand to gesture to his mouth, "Shut up, I know."
Seeing that Liang Qiurun was no longer as solemn as before, he muttered softly, "Did I slip up?"
Just as he finished speaking, Li Chengdong, who was drunk after a social event outside, came back. He was the third young master of the Li family. He lived in a villa in Hong Kong and drove a luxury car when he went out.
When he arrived in Shenzhen, he found himself living in a pigeon-cage-like housing estate where all the rooms combined were not even as big as a toilet he had in Hong Kong.
He sighed drunkenly, "This place is too shabby."
"It's too shabby. If it weren't for the connection I could have with the Merchants Group, I wouldn't have lived here even if I were beaten to death."
He spoke the truth after drinking.
The corridor was dark and there were no street lights. I could only hear some noises and see a pitch-black figure.
The two sides met.
Li Chengdong sobered up a bit immediately. He pulled his leader and revealed an overly sophisticated face, "Qiao Jiahui?"
He didn't see the other person, but just by smelling the scent, he knew it was Hong Kong playboy Qiao Jiahui.
Qiao Jiahui frowned and looked down at him, "I'm your father, what's wrong?"
Ever since everyone scrambled for land at the last auction, the two sides have had a falling out.
The words "your father and I" completely woke Li Chengdong up, "What are you talking about, you idiot?"
"Said I was your father."
Taking advantage of Li Chengdong being extremely drunk, Qiao Jiahui gave him a big sling and strangled his neck. The next second, before Li Chengdong could react, he jumped up and down like a monkey.
Ran away without a trace.
Li Chengdong was so angry that he cursed on the spot.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled secretly, then prepared to sneak out to the corridor with Liang Qiurun.
The two rich young men were fighting among themselves, and outsiders like her and Liang Qiurun decided not to get involved.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they moved, Li Chengdong raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and pulled off the tie that bound him. "Ms. Jiang, Director Liang, you don't have to leave. I know you are here too."
One of his characteristics is that he has a very sensitive nose.
He can remember the smell of anyone he has met.
Now, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun had a hard time leaving.
The stairwell was narrow and cramped with no street lights, and only a little light came in from the moonlight coming through the window holes.
Liang Qiurun naturally protected Jiang Meishu behind him. He said calmly, "Comrade Li, is there anything wrong?"
If I could stop them properly, it certainly wouldn't be for the purpose of gossiping.
Otherwise, Li Chengdong would have gone to settle the score with Qiao Jiahui long ago.
Li Chengdong shook his head and forced himself to sober up. Qiao Jiahui's big pussy made his mind clearer.
He stood up straight, trying to make himself and Liang Qiurun look at each other at eye level. "I know Director Liang is a capable person. I wonder if you are willing to come to my side?"
Worried that Liang Qiurun would refuse, he said bluntly, "The Hong Kong Li family is no worse than the Hong Kong Qiao family. What's more, in terms of personal ability, I think I'm better than that loser Qiao Jiahui."
In Li Chengdong's opinion, Qiao Jiahui, the notorious waste in Hong Kong, can make a name for himself in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
It’s not because Qiao Jiahui is so capable, but because Qiao Jiahui met the right person.
He met Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu, a couple with outstanding abilities, so they helped Qiao Jiahui succeed.
As for why Li Chengdong asked Liang Qiurun instead of Jiang Meishu, that is a matter of personal opinion.
He believes that women always listen to men.
That's why I asked Liang Qiurun.
Facing Li Chengdong's blatant poaching, Liang Qiurun remained calm. "First, Qiao Jiahui is not a loser. Second, he didn't achieve what he has today by relying on me and my wife. He has a keen eye and is willing to obey. That's why he's here today."
"at last."
Liang Qiurun raised his eyes and looked at Li Chengdong. Under the night sky, he could see the gloom, drunkenness, ambition, and greed on Li Chengdong's face.
Everything is clearly visible.
He is like a hyena, always staring at the people around him and giving them the biggest blow.
"Qiao Jiahui and I are partners, and I have no intention of changing partners."
This is a straightforward rejection.
Li Chengdong was a little unhappy, and the next second, he became even more unhappy. Qiao Jiahui, who was sulking downstairs, ran upstairs like an invincible little whirlwind.
He gave Li Chengdong a whirlwind kick.
"Li Chengdong, I treated you as a brother, but you are trying to steal my girlfriend."
It was already extremely difficult for the drunk Li Chengdong to speak fluently. After being beaten and kicked by Qiao Jiahui, he was no match for him.
Someone who couldn't even stand was pointing to the wall to stand.
Li Chengdong almost lost his balance after being hit by Qiao Jiahui. "Qiao Jiahui."
"Don't call you dad."
Qiao Jiahui was so angry that he punched him twice more. "You dead loser, you still want to steal your father's girlfriend? When your father was a gangster, you were still a model student."
"If I find out you're trying to steal your father's girl, I'll expose all the bad things that happened to you. Your father's reputation has long been tarnished. I'm not afraid of wearing shoes even if I'm barefoot. What about you, Li Chengdong? The third young master of the Li family is neither the eldest son nor the most powerful. You can only maintain a good reputation so that you can sell it for a good price."
"Li Chengdong."
Qiao Jiahui withdrew his hand and looked at him coldly, "Remember this, if you try to steal my people like this again, I will make sure you don't get a good price next time."
Selling myself for a bad price.
Every word here challenges Li Chengdong's bottom line.
"you--"
"My third sister and Miss Huo are good sisters. Tell me, should I ask my third sister to give you some eye drops in front of Miss Huo?"
Miss Huo was the one that Li Chengdong had arranged to marry in Hong Kong. The Huo family was a prominent family, and Li Chengdong was marrying above his station by getting engaged to her.
This is also why Qiao Jiahui said that he would sell it at a good price.
As expected, as soon as Qiao Jiahui finished speaking, Li Chengdong's fist loosened instantly. He looked at Qiao Jiahui gloomily and said, "Okay, you are doing very well."
He turned around and went upstairs with his secretary.
As soon as he left.
Qiao Jiahui immediately patted his chest in fear and muttered, "I was scared to death. This bastard wanted to poach you guys."
"Sister-in-law, Brother Qiurun, you won't abandon me, right?"
