Chapter Two and Four: The Fifth Grandma Returns Home
At the gate of Liu's Mansion, Yin Le jumped out of the carriage, clasped his fists at Qi Xiaotian and said, "Thank you, Gang Leader Qi. Please come in for a glass of water and wine, and I'll introduce you to my old man by the way."
Gang Leader Qi and Mr. Liu have met each other a long time ago, but they have never had a close relationship. The Liu family is a big businessman in the capital, and Gang Leader Qi has long wanted to do his business. However, the old man has always been safe and would rather pay more for land transportation. Of course, before this
The old man had some misunderstandings with the former leader of the Cao Gang. About fifteen years ago, a batch of goods from the Liu family sank into the sea.
The old man negotiated with the Caobang leader, but the Caobang leader refused to compensate, so the two families fell out and never cooperated again. The Liu family also relied on land transportation, and of course, the price was too high. Now Yin Le borrows the old man's
Honor allowed Qi Xiaotian to join the government in order to renegotiate the cooperation plan with him. The prerequisite was to let the old man put aside the old feud.
Qi Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine. I just came here presumptuously and didn't even bring a gift. It seems very disrespectful."
Yin Le said with a smile: "Chief Qi is a member of the Jianghu community, how can he be so formal?"
Qi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Fifth grandma is laughing, okay, then I won't be pretentious, please!"
"Please!" Yin Le said.
The news of Yin Le's return had spread long ago, and the servants rushed to report. Except for Liu Qin, Liu An and Liu Mian who went out to inquire about the news, the rest were all at home, including Deng Ning and Liu Qi. Naturally, Deng Ning did not dare
She knew that Long Yinle's return meant that her family
She has lived to the end. Now she has the guarantee of the regent. She no longer worries about herself, but starts to worry about her family. It is not heartless, it can only be said to be too selfish. When her own interests and life are threatened
, she will not hesitate to sacrifice her family.
The old man also came to the hall accompanied by the housekeeper. He saw Yin Lezheng surrounded by Yan Hui and Jiang Junxia, asking questions. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved. His eyes fell on Qi Xiaotian. He had seen Qi Xiaotian before, but there was nothing wrong with her.
After making friends, the housekeeper said that he was the one who sent Yin Le back, and he should be thanked both emotionally and rationally.
The old man then cupped his fists and said to Qi Xiaotian: "Gang Leader Qi, I am really grateful to you this time. On behalf of the Liu family, I would like to thank Gang Leader Qi for his life-saving grace."
Qi Xiaotian stood up quickly, held the old man's hand, then took a step back, saluted, bowed to the end, and said: "Junior Qi Xiaotian pays homage to the old man!"
The old man didn't expect Qi Xiaotian to pay such a big courtesy, and couldn't help but praise Wei Wei from the bottom of his heart. He thought he had gotten into the position of gang leader, and he was young and energetic, and somewhat arrogant. But he didn't expect that he would be so humble, like the former gang leader of the Cao Gang.
There is a huge difference. He smiled and said: "Please sit down quickly, there is no need to salute like this. You are the benefactor of my family, it is me who should salute you."
Yin Le laughed at the side and said: "Okay, two grown men, are you sour? Keep saluting, and sit down and talk."
The old man asked with a smile: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Yin Le shrugged, "I won't die!"
"If you don't die, then continue to come back and work your life. It's better for you. You were kidnapped for a few days and enjoyed a few days of happiness. It's hard for Qin'er and the others, who have to take care of your affairs." The old man sat on the Taishi chair and said slightly annoyed.
"The able ones work harder. If nothing happens to me, how can they show they are capable? It seems that in two years, I will be able to retire and enjoy a comfortable life like your old man." Yin Le said with a smile.
"We have guests here, so be more serious!" the old man snorted.
Qi Xiaotian looked at the two of them with some curiosity. As an outsider, he had previously wondered why the head of the Liu family wanted to pass on such a large family fortune to his granddaughter-in-law. Of course, the answer to this question was not known yet. He did not think that Long
How capable Yin Le is, but looking at her now, he feels that she is very different from other women. As for what is different, he can't tell. It seems that it is right to have more contact with her.
"The fifth grandma has a bold and lively temperament, which makes people immediately feel friendly." Qi Xiaotian said with a smile.
Jiang Junxia chuckled, "Friendly? You wouldn't say she's kind when she has a serious face. She, sometimes, is a black-faced god."
"Is there anyone who talks like this? I have finally come back from a disaster, and you should show more love to me. You still find fault with me in front of the guests. Wait, I will make you look good later." Yin Le seemed to be in a good mood, pulling everyone together.
Sitting on the chair, chatting and laughing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Qi Xiaotian brought up the old things again and said to the old man: "Mr. Liu, speaking of which, our Cao Gang still owes the old man an explanation. I was not involved in this matter back then, but I also heard it mentioned by the elders of the gang.
.It is indeed the fault of the old gang leader. Now that he is no longer here, it is impossible to apologize. I will apologize to the old man today on behalf of the old gang leader..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man smiled and said: "This is all in the past. I have forgotten it a long time ago. Gang Leader Qi doesn't need to take it to heart. Death is like a lamp going out. Since the old gang leader has passed away, I and I
His grievances have also been wiped out. This apology has no basis or reason."
Qi Xiaotian was a little confused about the old man's thoughts, but it was not easy to guess at this moment, so he said: "The old man has a broad mind, which is admirable!"
Yin Le remained calm and just drank the tea lightly. She understood what the old man meant. It was not that he did not accept the apology, but that since the Liu family owed him a favor, if they could cooperate in the future, the Liu family could not agree on the terms.
It was so refreshing, so he said that this old debt was gone, but he did not accept Qi Xiaotian's apology. He could use it when the time was right to fight for a fairer condition for the Liu family.
Mr. Deng was unwell before and stayed at Liu's house to recuperate. So the news of Yin Le's return soon reached his ears. He walked to the hall with a cane and the support of his housekeeper.
When Yin Le saw him, she was slightly surprised. On the way, Chu Ye didn't tell her about the siege of the mansion, so she didn't know that Deng Ning had come out, let alone that the Deng mansion was besieged by the regent's troops.
"Fifth Grandma!" Mr. Deng threw the crutches away and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Yin Le was stunned. What kind of drama was going on? Did he even lose his dignity for the sake of a granddaughter?
She came back to her senses and hurriedly flew to help Mr. Deng up. She frowned and said slightly: "Old man, why is this? How can I bear such a big gift? Isn't this trying to hurt me?"
When the old man saw Yin Le, he burst into tears. He didn't want to get up, but Yin Le was too strong. With such a seemingly gentle support, he could no longer bend his legs. He had to hold her hand and cry: "
I beg Fifth Grandma to be merciful and spare me.
Come on, Deng family, if you want to die, it will be my old man who will die alone. I know that my unscrupulous descendants deserve their punishment, but most of the seventy-two members of my Deng family are innocent. I beg Fifth Grandma to intercede in front of the prince.
