The He family retreated almost overnight and disappeared without a trace. Not only Kyoto, Jiaohe, and Stamu also became quiet. The He family's property became ownerless. Without the overlord He family, some people began to stir up trouble.
Thoughts.
The He family has monopolized the entire northern market. Those suppressed families have always dared to be angry but dare not speak out. Now the He family has retreated and has no intention of retaliating.
As the four major families of Jiaohe in the three provinces, the Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao families immediately formed the Chamber of Commerce of the four provinces and attracted the circles of the underground world to serve as their "spokesmen."
Their goal is very obvious. They have been suppressed by the He family for several lifetimes. This time, they want to get their capital back with profits. At the same time, they jointly boycott foreign merchants. The cake left by the He family cannot be given to outsiders.
On this day, a very fashionably dressed woman came to the Liang family's mansion. Liang Guodong and Liang Bowen looked angry.
"Zhang Lan, I don't understand what you mean. Please repeat it again!"
Liang Bowen asked.
"Uncle Liang, you are not very old, why can't you understand human speech? My brother-in-law has fallen in love with Qiqi and plans to marry Qiqi next month. I am here to inform you."
Zhang Lan said in a commanding tone.
The Zhang family and the Liang family are family friends. Zhang Lan married Wang Daoming, the current head of the family, a real young lady from a wealthy family.
"Zhang Lan, you are not mistaken. Wang Daoming's younger brother Wang Daoguang has been mentally retarded since childhood. Although he is now in his twenties, his IQ is not as good as that of a five-year-old child. You asked my sister to marry him!"
Liang Guodong's nephew and Liang Boping's son Liang Zifeng spoke angrily.
"What's wrong, you idiot? He is also the second master of our family. The Wang and Liang families are family friends. If Qiqi marries her, it will be a close relationship. From now on, our Wang family will protect her, and we guarantee a lifetime of prosperity and wealth!"
Zhang Lan spoke casually.
Liang Guodong had a sullen face, the Wang family was going too far to deceive others.
"Dream, even if my daughter is chopped and fed to dogs, I will not marry her to a retarded person. Tell Wang Daoming that you have given up on this completely!"
Liang Boxian said coldly.
Wang Daoming saw the decline of the He family, and Zhong Sheng suddenly became the target of public criticism. Wang Daoming was also tempted. He wanted to win over Zhong Sheng's family and become a vassal of the Wang family. In this way, he could use the springboard to directly take over Zhong Sheng.
As a middle-class family in Zhong Province, the Liang family is very suitable for this role. As the head wife of the Zhang family, Zhang Lan volunteered to serve as a red line for Wang and the Liang family.
Of course Liang Guodong refused. How could he, his precious granddaughter, marry a fool?
Zhang Lan believes that with the power of the Wang family, it is a blessing for Liang Qiqi to marry into the Wang family. Others who want to marry have no chance, but the Liang family refuses.
Liang Bowen's face was ashen with anger, the Wang family was really bullying others.
"Liang Qiqi is already an adult, should we ask her herself about this matter?"
Zhang Lan refused to give up and refused to leave the Liang family. Liang Guodong knew that the Wang family was not easy to deal with and could not harass them, so he could only call Liang Qiqi.
Liang Qiqi was at Qin Rou's house and cried angrily when she heard it.
"Why are you crying? We will go back with you. If the sky falls, my brother-in-law will hold you up!"
Lin Zhan comforted Liang Qiqi, explained to Liang Meijuan, and then followed Liang Qiqi and Qin Rou back to the Liang family.
"Are you Lin Zhan?"
Of course, the Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao families knew about the Jiaohe family. Although the He family's affairs were not made public, they were aware of the causes and consequences because of the Lin Zhan in front of them.
However, Zhang Lan saw that Lin Zhan was very ordinary and couldn't figure out how the He family could be lost in Lin Zhan's hands.
"Mrs. Wang, my sister really can't marry Wang Daoguang, he...he is mentally retarded!"
When Liang Qiqi returned home, she hid in her mother Liang's arms and cried. Qin Rou felt particularly distressed.
"Don't be shameless. Our Wang family is now part of the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Provinces. The marriage is to give you face. If you don't agree, the consequences will be serious!"
Zhang Lan didn't expect Qin Rou to dare to refuse, and immediately became angry.
"Ha ha……"
Lin Zhan burst out laughing. In Lin Zhan's eyes, the Wang family was nothing, and they dared to come to Jiaohe to force a marriage.
"Lin Zhan, why are you laughing? And Qin Rou, you are just the granddaughter of the Liang family. Your mother is not qualified to speak. You can stay where you are!"
Zhang Lan was irritated by Lin Zhan's unbridled laughter and scolded him loudly.
Lin Zhan's face turned cold.
"Liang Qiqi is our sister. You Wang family members are not worthy of her. Get out of here before I'm angry!"
Zhang Lan is the young lady of the Wang family. She is used to showing off her power, how could she bear such treatment?
"Liang Bowen, please think carefully. If you don't agree to this marriage, the Liang family will wait for the anger of the Wang family!"
Liang Bowen's face was gloomy.
"Although we are a middle-class family, we are not people who are at the mercy of others. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. The Wang family should not bully others too much!"
"You ugly monster, you dare to bully my great-grandfather, and you also want to bully my aunt, I will ask dad to beat you up!"
Qin Xiaomiao has been with Liang Qiqi recently, and their relationship is very good. Although she is young, she understands everything, pinching her waist and shouting to Zhang Lan.
"You little bastard, how dare you scold me!"
Zhang Lan's face turned red with anger, and she raised her palm to hit Qin Xiaomiao.
Snap!
Qin Rou pulled Qin Xiaomiao over and slapped Zhang Lan on the face with her backhand.
Qin Xiaomiao is her life. Anyone who dares to touch her will be killed by Qin Rou.
"Qin Rou, you dare to hit me?!"
Zhang Lan covered her face and glared at Qin Rou
"Hitting you is a light punishment. If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you!"
Lin Zhan spoke coldly, took out his mobile phone at the same time, and called the security directly. After a while, the security general manager came with someone. Liang Guodong had helped the security general manager Liu Feng, and Liu Feng didn't care whether he was a man or not.
The woman was kicked out directly.
Zhang Lan never expected that the dignified young lady of the Wang family would come to propose marriage in person, but the other party would not agree, so she would be kicked out.
She must make Liang Bowen look good, and she also has Lin Zhan and Qin Rou, so she can't let them go.
After Zhang Lan left, Liang Guodong was a little worried.
"Bo Wen, Lin Zhan, you are too reckless. As long as you refuse the marriage, you don't need to break your skin. After all, the Wang family is not easy to mess with."
Lin Zhan smiled slightly.
"The old man doesn't know something. The Wang family is extremely ambitious. People like this will push themselves to the limit and will never tolerate adultery. Is it possible that you let your cousin marry a fool?"
Of course Liang Guodong wouldn't. He glanced at Lin Zhan and didn't answer.
"Grandpa, don't worry, we won't ignore the Liang family's affairs. We don't need to rely on anyone, just be ourselves."
Liang Bowen also agreed with Qin Rou's point of view.
"Dad, Xiaorou and Lin Zhan are right. We only have one daughter, Qiqi, and we must not compromise."
Liang Guodong sighed, now Liang Bowen is in charge of the Liang family, and he doesn't want to care about it anymore.
It's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid it, we can only let nature take its course.
