Chapter 178 Mr. Qin is a member of the Qin family
The next day, He Xu invited a few friends to his house for dinner.
One of them was Grandpa Qin. Chen Tang still remembered him. On Grandpa’s birthday, she bought an antique bottle from him.
There are three other people, one works in the government, one is a policeman, and the other is a profiteer who openly works for Mr. Qin's family.
In addition to the three men, there was also a girl, who was the wife of Li Xun who worked in the government.
Normally when He Xu comes back from vacation, the few people will contact each other, but he rarely brings his wife with him.
This was the first time He Xu brought his wife to meet them, and Li Xun, the only one who had a wife, listened to him and brought his wife as well.
He Xu was a man of great loyalty when he was young, and was known in the city for his ruthlessness. Many of his friends came from large families, but except for the oldest Mr. Qin, all three of them called him Brother He, regardless of their age.
Chen Tang was also called sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you may not remember Jiang Yang and I. Actually, we both came from the compound, but later we moved out of the compound for work. I thought we were not of the same kind, but after a few years, I didn't expect that our brother He would marry the most beautiful girl in our compound.
I've always said that you live so close to our Brother He, and the one who lives near water gets to see the moon first. Brother He and sister-in-law must be destined to be together in your previous life."
"Watch your words." His wife glared at him. It was not appropriate to talk about past lives at this time.
"What's the big deal? We're eating at home anyway, so why should we be afraid of those bastards from the Revolutionary Committee?" Li Xun's dark face was full of joy: "I was so timid when I was a child. Others always bullied me, and I didn't dare to resist. If it weren't for Brother He protecting me, how could I get a job in the government department now, and marry you?"
The woman pinched his waist and scolded him coquettishly: "Okay, let's not talk about the past. Didn't you say that your brother rarely comes back and you want to have a happy gathering?"
Li Xun: "Hehe, then I'll use tea instead of wine to toast sister-in-law and Brother He, since Brother He doesn't drink."
Chen Tang indeed rarely saw He Xu drinking. The two had been together for almost two years, and He Xu rarely talked to her about the past, which made her feel a little curious.
Although Jiang Yang is a policeman, he looks gentle and speaks softly: "Let's eat first, and then we can chat after dinner."
He didn't believe that He Xu would come to them for no reason.
Although the Jiang family is not as powerful as the He family, they can still hear some rumors. He Xu might be in big trouble when he comes back this time.
Suddenly seeing them at this time, they were probably keeping a backup plan.
Master Qin saw the chubby baby in Chen Tang's arms poking his head into his bowl, and flicked his head with his finger: "You two are really fast. You made a baby so early. My daughter is five years old now. I'll let you see her some other day."
Little Hezhi touched his head which was hurt by the bullet, rolled his eyes angrily and threw himself into his mother's arms.
The meal was harmonious. After seeing everyone off, He Xu tidied up the living room again.
After Chen Tang finished feeding the baby, he suddenly asked, "Who is the most trustworthy among the four people?"
After the meal, He Xu went to see them off personally. It took about ten minutes in total, and he definitely wasn't just reminiscing about the past during that time.
He Xu raised his thin lips and said, "At present, the ones I trust the most are Jiang Yang and Li Xun. Lu Yi is a man who values his promises. I once saved his life. If I get into trouble, he will help me, but his sister is Mr. Qin's wife.
And Mr. Qin and Qin Zhao are members of the Qin family."
"Qin family?" Chen Tang suddenly turned his head to look at him: "The Qin family belongs to the 'Gang of Four' in politics, and they are political enemies of your He family. So you still want to invite him to dinner today?"
"Qin Zhao left the Qin family a long time ago in order to marry his wife. The reason he became friends with me was because I told him a fake name. I invited him here today, firstly to remind him, and secondly... to see if I could lure him out of the Qin family."
He packed his things, hugged Chen Tang and said, "Go take a shower. After you take a shower, I'll tell you about my arrangements."
The night slowly darkens, the moon and stars become sparse.
Lu Yi pushed his bicycle and glanced at the person beside him: "Does that guy want to drag you into the game?"
Qin Zhao lit a cigarette, his eyes reflecting the moonlight darkened: "The Qin family is eager to pull down the He family. Even if I don't join the game, I can't escape the fate of being used and threatened by the Qin family."
Although he had already left the Qin family, it was impossible for him to completely escape the Qin family's surveillance in the capital.
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the bicycle handlebars: "Don't let Xiao Ling get involved."
Qin Zhao took a deep puff of cigarette, and in the midst of the smoke, Lu Yi had already ridden his bicycle and left the alley.
There were few people along the way, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the courtyard.
The courtyard was pitch black and no lights were on. The moonlight fell on the porcelain jars in the yard, forming a beautiful ancient painting.
Qin Zhao paused with his hand holding the cigarette butt and parked his bicycle in the yard.
Pushing the wooden door with classical carvings and diamond paintings, in the pitch-black night, he tilted his head slightly and saw a dagger pressed against his neck.
"Brother Qin Zhao, long time no see."
Qin Zhao's eyebrows darkened: "Qin Yue, it turns out that you are here."
Qin Yue put away the dagger, and a face that looked somewhat like him showed a scornful smile: "I know He Xu has a backup plan. I invited you to dinner today and told you a lot of things. Unfortunately, I guessed it a long time ago and took your daughter back to the Qin family in advance. Starting tomorrow, you should go back too."
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that anything will happen to your daughter."
Qin Zhao's eyes were gloomy. "You actually started with a five-year-old child for an adult matter. The Qin family is really becoming more and more shameless."
"Shameless?" Qin Yue shook his head and smiled contemptuously: "A father who can't protect his daughter is incompetent. As a member of the Qin family, he loves antiques and doesn't make progress. Giving up the inheritance rights in his hands is stupid.
You, and your uncle and aunt, you will always be trampled under my feet for the rest of your life!"
Qin Zhao: "Oh, my daughter is also a member of the Qin family. You are so unscrupulous and do such a despicable thing. Aren't you afraid that grandpa will know?"
Qin Yue clicked his tongue and shook his head, looking at him as if he were a fool: "You never listened to Grandpa since you were a child. When you were 23 years old, you insisted on leaving the Qin family for a woman. Grandpa would not care about a person who was expelled from the family tree, let alone a little girl."
"Cousin, don't blame me. Apart from He Xu, there is no one in the He family who can accomplish anything. If we get rid of He Xu, Mr. He will not live for many more years. By then, the Qin family will be able to move to a higher level.
Now that the He family is in turmoil, and I just happened to know that you and He Xu are good friends, if I don’t make good use of this relationship, I’m afraid that grandfather will punish me too.”
The moonlight lengthened Qin Zhao's shadow. He lowered his eyelashes and lit a cigarette: "Are you so sure that He Xu can be tricked by you?"
He smiled wantonly and wickedly, not taking Qin Zhao seriously at all: "Isn't it up to you, cousin?"
"It's getting late, let's go, otherwise my lovely niece will cry and look for her daddy, and I will be heartbroken."
