The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 375

Qijiang recalled the scene of his father's family serving him last time, with lingering fears in his heart.

Half a year ago, I secretly went to Tianjin to help Qilan, and drove one of the family's cars into a pond in the suburbs to be scrapped. My father beat me with a cracking board, and my legs hurt so much that I couldn't walk for several days.

Mr. Gu's teeth were gritting, and the veins on the back of his hands were protruding.

Qi Jiang saw that the butler who was best at trying to figure out his father's mind had already fetched the copper ruler in advance, and could hand it over at any time as long as the master gave an order.

All he had to do was turn around at once and run out, all the way to the little gate at the back of the garden, to get away with it.

If you are more ruthless, you will go far away for a while, and then go home and have a look after the storm subsides.

The little yellow croaker given by his mother is more than enough to help him tide over the current difficulties, but it really hurts to spend: her gold ring, gold bracelet and gold earrings, gold hairpin, how many pieces do I need to get together to get this pair of heavy little ones? bullion.

This time, his father didn't seem to be in a hurry to beat him up, so he gave him a look and seriously questioned him about his whereabouts.

"Second brother, you are over 20 years old, don't be like your elder brother, idle around and not do business. Tell the truth where you have been these past few days, who you have met, and what you have done. Don't hide or deceive!"

Qi Min's mood plummeted when he heard this, and his father used himself as a negative teaching material when he taught Qi Jiang a lesson. Prejudice is indeed everywhere.He didn't dare to interrupt his father's anger, so he had to drink one cup after another.

At the same time, he was somewhat jealous of the second younger brother born of one mother.

In the past twenty years, my father has given the second child the best, and he always has to give him a discount. Although my mother has worked hard to make a bowl of water equal, in the end, the second child gets more. Love, or put in the hard work.

The seeds fell from the same tree, but they grew into two different trees: Qi Jiang's tree grew tall and straight, but his tree was deformed from the beginning.

Qi Ming quickly picked up the pig's ears left for Qi Jiang with his chopsticks, and ate them until there was not even any soup left, to vent his grievances and injustices.

Qijiang didn't have time to feel sorry for the pig's ear that was eaten by his elder brother.His whole attention was focused on the slightly changing expression on his father's face—if he had any hope of getting himself out of trouble, he had to try to win it.

"Father, I've been playing outside and studying, and I haven't done anything unruly."

Mr. Gu naturally wouldn't believe it, and continued to ask in depth: "You didn't stay at home well, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

After hearing this, the third wife seized this rare opportunity and stood up from her seat, interjecting:
"Second, you have to tell the truth in front of Dad. I heard from the servant at home that you answered a call from a woman in the study before you went out this time. Who is she? Can you tell me?"

It was only then that Qi Jiang realized that it was helpless for his mother to pretend to be sick, and the third wife's eyeliner was everywhere, and even when she went to answer a phone call in the study, there were servants who overheard and made small reports.

Mr. Gu's face was as black as charcoal. If the second child had the bad habits of the eldest, the family would be hopeless.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jiang replied calmly: "Well, it's Miss He Shi'an. She came to our house to look for me in October. The third mother was still there, you should remember. She is only 16 years old. I will treat her as a little sister .”

The third wife held her chin in feigned surprise, and said an exaggerated "Oh, I remembered", attracting the attention of the little girls and Qi Min who were buried in their meals.Then he looked up at the half of his blushing face and said to everyone:
"Last time, she also came to the Gu mansion to look for the second child, and she even gave me a pair of good gloves. I am not very old, but she can make adults happy. Second child, you should learn more from them."

Mr. Gu asked puzzledly: "Second brother, didn't you tell me that you want to marry Zhu Juanjuan? She doesn't like your elder brother because he has no ink in his belly, but I think she definitely likes you."

Qi Ming felt ashamed: originally wanted to watch the excitement, but was indirectly ridiculed by his father.

The old man really didn't open the pot and carried the pot. This morning, he was beaten up by a passing nosy person for intercepting Zhu Juanjuan on the way. Finally, the pain didn't feel so bad, and his father came to expose his scars again.

He was as full of anger in his heart as he was in his stomach, couldn't bear it any longer, stood up desperately covering his ears, turned around and walked out:

"Father, didn't you want to teach the second child a lesson? In the end, every word was aimed at me. I can't eat this meal, and I can't eat it anymore."

Seeing this, the third wife quickly acted as a peacemaker, holding Mr. Gu's hand and asking him to call Qimin back.

"Master, scolding the second is scolding the second, don't drag the boss. The boss has been doing well recently, the goods are delivered well, and the money is also in hand."

Seeing that the third wife was willing to save face for him, Qi Ming suddenly felt that his waist was quite strong.

"Thank you for the affirmation of the third mother. I can send out another batch of goods a year ago, just sit and wait for the money to be collected. After the Chinese New Year, I will take a large sum of money to the second child to go to Japan."

Qi Jiang's vest felt cold when he heard it.He suddenly understood: it turned out that what Qilan told him was true, and the family's fortune-making business must be a shady business.The third wife knew it well, and Qi Ming was also involved, but he was the only one who was completely kept in the dark.

The tuition fees he paid for studying abroad, his habit of spending money generously, his elder brother's lavish life, the foreign piano teacher hired by his third wife for his two younger sisters, the extravagant daily expenses, etc., all far exceeded his father's normal income. .

Then, the business of making a fortune at home is likely to be buying and selling valuables with particularly high economic value.Most likely, nothing is more than cultural relics.

He didn't think deeply about it at ordinary times. His father had a hobby of collecting antiques. The bottles, cans, handicrafts, ancient calligraphy and painting fans at home might have come from wrong sources.

That night, on the way to find Qilan with Shi'an, I witnessed the bloody scene of people who resell and steal ancient tombs killing each other, and I realized for the first time that behind every precious cultural relic, there may be There are unknown origins.

His head began to buzz: If his decent life was based on illegal business, he would rather be reborn into a poor family.

Mr. Gu looked at Qijiang who bowed his head and said nothing, and couldn't figure out what he was struggling with.

After much deliberation, the father finally gave up on the board that almost fell on Qi Jiang's head:

"Second, don't give up easily. Although the Zhu family is not what it used to be, I have no objection to marrying her into the family. After all, knowledge, vision, and good conduct are beneficial to the long-term of the family."

"Don't be with girls who are too sophisticated. Ms. He is not suitable for you. You are not allowed to answer her calls in the future. "

"In order to save trouble, you are not allowed to answer her calls in the future, and you are not allowed to spend the night outside without authorization, so as not to damage your reputation."

Qi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.For the time being, there is no need to flee with the little yellow croaker.
