At the breakfast table, everyone gathered around to eat. At this time, the scorching sun rose and shone in through the window, filling the room with brilliance.
When I got up early, the wind was quite cool.
Du Xiaoqin was dissatisfied with Yun Qiao's late return yesterday and deliberately asked her at the dining table: "How long did you wait until you came back after fooling around at night?"
"A little late."
"It's inappropriate!" Du Xiaoqin was displeased, "You, a young woman, come home so late at night. If word spreads in the future, not only will you be infamous, but you will also bring harm to your sister and us!"
Yun Qiao: "I have wanted to go back for a long time, but I met Uncle Qi, so I was delayed for a while."
Du Xiaoqin: "..."
Xi Wenlan glanced at Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao already knew how to push Uncle Qi out as a shield, so he was really confident.
Fourth Master Xi was most afraid of hearing the women quarreling, so he immediately said: "Okay, okay, let's stop saying a few words while eating."
Du Xiaoqin swallowed her anger.
The boys made faces at Yun Qiao and looked down upon her, but Yun Qiao ignored them.
Everyone ate in silence, and the only sound was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Fourth Master Xi spoke up again.
"I will be back later today. The new General Manager Lin has quite some background. He seems to be the prince's personal friend." Fourth Master Xi looked at Du Xiaoqin, "There is a welcome dinner in the Political Hall tonight, so I can't refuse."
The "prince" he refers to refers to the president's son; and private means that this person is the president's son's power and should not be underestimated.
The military and government are not separated from each other. The Xi family, including the governor, has never offended these officials, although they do not take them seriously.
The warlord is a very smooth man who knows how to do things well. He is diplomatic with one hand and powerful with the other. No one can do anything to him.
"...Which Chief Lin is the one from the Supervision Bureau?" Du Xiaoqin asked.
Fourth Master Xi: "Have you heard about it too?"
"His wife is the goddaughter of the president!" Du Xiaoqin said excitedly, "My sister-in-law even came to visit her."
Fourth Master Xi curled his lips: "They are all untouchable. However, these officials are also ridiculous. Now that there is no court, they regard the Qinggang as the court. As soon as they come, they have to make friends with the boss of the Qinggang and seek asylum."
Yun Qiao listened to them quietly.
She silently picked up a small dish with chopsticks.
Xi Wenlan is very knowledgeable: "The Green Gang cannot get on the stage. It's just that the current situation is chaotic and the law is child's play. Otherwise, how would they have a foothold?"
They have a lot of killers and gangsters, and they can find their way to foreigners in the concession. Officials and wealthy businessmen, everyone's life is valuable, so we are afraid of these scoundrels."
Du Xiaoqin immediately gritted his teeth: "They are just scoundrels. In the future, when the world is clear and the world is clear, I will be the first to deal with them!"
Yun Qiao listened silently.
Fourth Master Xi said: "You can't say that. Nowadays, they are indeed the most powerful. They have good connections and strong skills. Even the eldest brother wants to invite Boss Zhu to dinner and share the dock with him."
Du Xiaoqin was immediately envious again.
"Boss Zhu's third aunt is a very friendly person and often invites the ladies to play cards. I wonder if I can pass her a name card?" Du Xiaoqin said immediately.
The third aunt who had just said that the Qing Gang were scoundrels turned around and wanted to curry favor with the scoundrel leader.
Fourth Master Xi felt that people with high spirits would not accept Du Xiaoqin's invitation.
It is very clear to the outside world which of the Xi family members is a decent person and which one is just a vassal. The fourth family has the least status and face.
They talked and ate while Yun Qiao drank her porridge slowly.
A bowl of hot porridge made her sweat all over, and she wanted to go back to her room to get some air.
At this time, the servant brought in a name card: "For Miss Yun Qiao."
Du Xiaoqin looked at it curiously: "Oh, I also gave you a name card, so formal. Which lady I know outside gave it to me?"
Yun Qiao himself was also suspicious.
She took it and opened it and saw that it was a lady named Lin, saying that she would visit her tomorrow.
Ruoyunqiao agreed and called Mrs. Lin back before nine o'clock in the evening.
"Mrs. Lin?" Yun Qiao thought silently in her heart.
Is it the wife of Mr. Lin, the goddaughter of the president, that Mr. Xi just mentioned?
If so, then she must not have gotten through to Boss Zhu, and she didn't even meet Uncle Qian, so she finally found out about Yun Qiao.
