"Dad, do you still remember that time? You arranged a baby wedding for Jiancheng without even asking me. What was my attitude at that time?"
Wang Laodao: "You object."
"Yes! I objected because at that time Uncle Qiao was experiencing a low ebb in his career, the Qiao family was in troubled times, Qiao Yuanjiang was incompetent at all, and Qiao Yuanshan disappeared inexplicably. I think he wanted to seek a political alliance in this way and gain access to our family.
support."
Wang Laodao: "My relationship with him does not need the blessing of a marriage contract."
Wang Zhengdao laughed: "Dad, I am your son, can you honestly say something in front of me? Why did the Qiao family take the initiative to terminate the engagement? Is it because they think that our Wang family does not have such a big family?
value."
"Shut up!" Mr. Wang was so angry that his face turned livid.
"The Jiancheng thing is very strange. I will get to the bottom of it and bring all the people involved to justice. You may not understand why I want to bring up the old thing again? Although the Qiao family can't bring us anything now, this marriage contract
It can act as a constraint.”
Wang Laodao: "Restrict what? What do you mean? Do you doubt that the completion of the project and..."
"I never said that, but there are a lot of rumors outside that the Qiao family looks down on our Wang family, and some people say that Jianming's seat today is the Qiao family's replacement for the Wang family..."
Mr. Wang suddenly raised his hand and gave Wang Zhengdao a loud slap in the face: "You bastard, what are you talking about?"
Wang Zhengdao was staggered by his father's beating. He held his hands on the coffee table before he could stand upright. Looking at his angry father, he sighed: "Dad, I hate it. I have always hated the Qiao family. If
If it wasn't Qiao Yuanshan, why would I ruin my future? Why would my son become disabled? Why should I fulfill the Qiao family's reputation? Why should I help his granddaughter become a saint?"
Mr. Wang pointed at Wang Zhengdao's nose, his hand trembling slightly: "You were the one who spread the news, right?"
Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "In your eyes, I will never be able to compare with my eldest brother. Even I can't compare with Jianming. I guess Jianming is far less important in your heart than your other grandson."
Mr. Wang was so angry that he covered his chest, his face lost all color, and suddenly his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground.
Wang Zhengdao then panicked and hurried over to support his father: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Mr. Wang originally had coronary heart disease, and this time he was really angry with Wang Zhengdao. Fortunately, he was in the hospital and the rescue was timely, so he was fine.
The Affiliated Hospital did not dare to neglect. Not only did the hospital's cardiologist come out, they even specially invited Shu Yuanhang from Changxing Hospital to prevent accidents. If necessary, Shu Yuanhang can perform surgery on Mr. Wang at any time.
The Wang family were all frightened, but Mr. Wang didn't say the reason. Wang Zhengdao felt guilty and didn't dare to speak out. He was also worried about becoming the target of public condemnation. Fortunately, the old man was not seriously injured.
Convinced that his grandfather was out of danger, Wang Jianming called his uncle into the room to ask about his grandfather's condition when he fell ill.
Wang Zhengdao couldn't say that he made the old man angry. He could only say that he didn't know the specific situation and asked Wang Jianming to ask the old man.
Although Wang Zhengdao has always been kind to his nephew, there has always been a gap between the two men. Wang Jianming used to think that it was because his uncle opposed his marriage to He Wanying. As he grew up, he discovered that the fundamental reason was the difference in the two people's concepts of life.
Wang Jiancheng said: "Second uncle, I heard that you want to send Jiancheng to a foreign country for treatment?"
Wang Zhengdao nodded: "Yes, firstly, foreign countries are more mature in plastic surgery, and secondly, I also want him to change his environment, so that he does not have to stay in China and face other people's rumors all day long."
Wang Jiancheng said: "Already have a direction?"
"Still under investigation."
Wang Jianming said: "I have been busy with your brother's affairs these days, and I didn't bother to talk to you about the China-Korea Industrial Park."
Wang Zhengdao said indifferently: "To me, the China-Korea Industrial Park is nothing. I will not have any opinions on whether they stay or leave. And although I single-handedly introduced this project to Dongzhou, I have decided to withdraw."
Already."
"What?" Wang Jianming looked stunned. It seemed that his cousin's experience had dealt a huge blow to his uncle, but his withdrawal would make the Sino-Korea Industrial Park even worse.
"Jianming, you don't have to worry. I won't announce it to the outside world for the time being. Even if I withdraw, I will wait until Lexing Group makes a decision."
Wang Jianming smiled and said: "Second uncle, I originally wanted to talk to you about negotiating with Lexing, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. Let me ask one more question, did grandpa force you to withdraw from this project?
"
Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "It is entirely my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, but it was Meng Jing who came over and called Wang Zhengdao over. Mr. Wang wanted to see him alone.
Wang Zhengdao came to the ward with an anxious mood.
Mr. Wang was lying on the hospital bed, looking at his son calmly. Wang Zhengdao lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Wang Laodao: "There is nothing wrong with me, I'm fine now."
Wang Zheng apologized and said: "Dad, you should rest more, it's all my fault..."
Mr. Wang glared at him and stopped him from continuing: "It's none of your business. I can't think of it myself. Come here."
Wang Zhengdao came to sit next to his father, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to hold his father's hand.
Wang Laodao: "The right way, as the saying goes, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. No matter where you hurt yourself, you will feel the pain. But the pain is still different. I admit that I have been a little harsh on you over the years."
"Dad, don't say that, it's just me who doesn't live up to my expectations."
Wang Lao shook his head: "It's not easy for you to work hard in the business world today. Both Jiancheng and Jianming are my grandsons. Jianming lost his parents when he was young, so I think more about it. But this time something happened to Jiancheng, I was
The way you said it, if possible, I would rather trade myself for him and bear the pain for him."
"Dad, please stop talking." Wang Zhengdao's eyes turned red.
Mr. Wang held his son's hand hard: "I know there are obstacles in your heart that you can't get over, but it's been so long, is there anything you can't let go of?"
Wang Zhengdao bit his lip and said: "Dad, there are so many rumors outside now. Even if I don't want to lose face, what about the Wang family? Jiancheng? I didn't make any excessive demands. If they are willing to fulfill their original engagement, it will prove that the Qiao family
We have not forgotten how we helped them in the past."
Wang Laodao: "When I helped them, I didn't think about repaying them, so why should you always remember me."
"Dad, if Jiancheng is like this, even if he marries Mei Ruxue, it will only be a marriage on paper. I have not forced them to live together. They can separate at any time."
"Why do you still want to propose marriage now that you know?"
"Because this marriage certificate is very important to Jiancheng and our Wang family."
Mr. Wang let go of Wang Zhengdao's hand and closed his eyes tiredly. After a while, he said: "I'm old, Zhengdao. I just want to ask you if there is anything wrong with the Qiao family.
In hand?"
Wang Zhengdao did not answer.
Mr. Wang did not continue to ask, and waved his hand gently: "You can go out."
Fine snowflakes were floating in the sky, and Mei Ruxue was walking on the old street, feeling confused. Ever since her uncle came to talk to her, she had fallen into deep pain. After Wang Jiancheng's accident, rumors spread everywhere.
She drew a clear line with the Wang family and turned into a treacherous one overnight.
The influence of Wang Jiancheng and her so-called engagement was deliberately amplified, and she did not pay enough attention to it originally. When she realized that something was wrong, the development of external public opinion was out of control.
Growing up, the person who protected her from wind and rain was always her grandfather. She once thought that her uncle and eldest brother could also shield her from the wind and rain. But when the wind and rain came, she realized that it was still the person who was struggling to support the Qiao family.
The old man from before.
The uncle came to see her not to discuss countermeasures, but to advise her to consider the overall situation. The so-called overall situation was to achieve positive results with Wang Jiancheng, so that all rumors would be self-defeating.
The eldest brother who has always loved him has not reacted to this matter yet. It seems that he has not heard about it at all. But these disturbing rumors are spreading everywhere, how could he know nothing about it?
Mei Ruxue was looking forward to having someone to discuss with, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have no one else to discuss except her grandfather. She really didn’t want to give him any more worries, so she decided to wait patiently. She believed that her grandfather would definitely take the initiative to ask.
Start this matter.
The devastated Mei Ruxue almost bumped into the person she was facing. When she realized this, she stopped in time and said, "I'm sorry."
The middle-aged woman holding an umbrella opposite smiled calmly: "Secretary Mei, what a coincidence?"
Only then did Mei Ruxue recognize that the other party was Xu Ying. She forced a smile: "Sister Xu, what a coincidence."
Xu Ying raised the umbrella in her hand and tilted it a little to cover Mei Ruxue from the snowflakes above her head.
Mei Ruxue said: "No, I'll just walk around."
Xu Ying said: "Since we have met, let's have a cup of tea together."
Mei Ruxue was just wandering around aimlessly, but she didn't expect to meet Xu Ying. She had a lot of contact with Xu Ying when she was in love with Xu Chunliang, and they got along well with each other. Faced with an invitation from an old friend, it was naturally difficult to refuse.
The two of them approached a nearby teahouse called Guangyin. It was snowing outside. Sitting in the room making tea by the stove should have been a pleasant thing, but Mei Ruxue didn't have any thoughts now.
Xu Ying opened the teahouse and was very skillful in making tea. The young tea master in the room was ashamed, so Xu Ying sent her away directly.
"Secretary Mei, why do you have time today?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Sister Xu, you'd better call me by my name. We don't seem to be so different from each other."
Xu Ying laughed sheepishly: "Xiaoxue, drink tea."
Mei Ruxue said thank you and did not rush to drink tea. She still looked out the window. After a while, the snow had become heavy, blurring her sight and the world. Mei Ruxue wanted to see the world clearly but was afraid of seeing too much.
