Chapter 1289 Revisiting old matters
Qiao Yuanjiang felt a little unhappy, so he went to sit on the single sofa and smoked silently.
“Uncle Joe asked you to come here, right?”
Qiao Yuanjiang looked up at Wang Zhengdao, who was still standing in front of him, and felt increasingly unhappy. I am sitting and you are standing, without even a title. Do you think you are interrogating a prisoner? Qiao Yuanjiang said: "I haven't contacted the old man in the past two days."
He responded to Wang Zhengdao's question tactfully, "I came here on my own, not on the old man's order." Qiao Yuanjiang clearly noticed that Wang Zhengdao's attitude was a little strange, and he even regretted coming here.
Wang Zhengdao looked at Qiao Yuanjiang condescendingly. His sinister expression made Qiao Yuanjiang feel chilled. There was no trace of kindness in Wang Zhengdao's eyes towards him.
Qiao Yuanjiang is a little strange. Wang Jiancheng's car accident has nothing to do with him. You, Wang Zhengdao, can't blame me because your son suffered a tragic accident, right? Qiao Yuanjiang coughed and said: "Zhengdao, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have a meeting tomorrow and I have to rush back to Nanjiang tonight."
“Don’t worry, I have something else to discuss with you.”
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Wang Zhengdao took a drag on his cigarette and took two steps forward: "You also know about my son's condition."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Zhengdao, I know you feel bad, but it is a great blessing that Jiancheng can survive the misfortune. Don't worry too much. Rulong's previous car accident was more serious than him. Isn't it the same now?" Live well."
Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "It's different. Qiao Rulong's incident was an accident. My son was set up."
Qiao Yuanjiang pretended to be concerned: "Have you found the murderer? I'll go back and supervise him. They must solve the case as soon as possible."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Wang Zhengdao's lips. Although he didn't say anything, the smile revealed his true thoughts.
Qiao Yuanjiang's old face heated up. He realized that Wang Zhengdao was mocking him. What he said was just a statement. In fact, he knew very well that his influence in the province was minimal.
Wang Zhengdao lowered his voice and said: "There have been many rumors that are not good for our Wang family recently. Considering the relationship between our two families, the Qiao family will not sit idly by and ignore it, right?"
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Of course not, Zhengdao, what do you need me to do for you?" His years in the system were not in vain. Wang Zhengdao kept saying that he was from the Qiao family. Qiao Yuanjiang emphasized himself, intending to tell Wang Zhengdao I can help you, but the Qiao family may not.
“What can you do?”
Qiao Yuanjiang was angered by Wang Zhengdao's straightforward rhetorical question: "In this case, I can only give my blessing."
"Actually, you can still do something. There are many rumors from the outside world now, saying that your Qiao family dislikes my son and broke the engagement. How many people are secretly laughing at our Wang family behind our backs. I have an idea. At this time, our two families need to unite more. How about getting Jiancheng and Ruxue engaged? After all, they are engaged and have reached the age to get married. "
Qiao Yuanjiang was shocked by Wang Zhengdao's proposal. His eyes widened, Wang Zhengdao, Wang Zhengdao, what do you think? Don’t you know what your son is like now? You're not even considered a man but you still want to be engaged to my niece?
Qiao Yuanjiang thought that Wang Zhengdao must have been stimulated and his mind was a little abnormal. He smiled and said: "Nowadays, we pay attention to freedom of love. It is not allowed for us to interfere in the affairs of young people. In fact, you can wait until Jiancheng recovers from his injury."
Qiao Yuanjiang had already given Wang Zhengdao enough face without rejecting him immediately.
Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "I am a superstitious person, and I always feel that there is some truth in celebrating happiness. Maybe if they get engaged, the situation of the project will be improved."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Zhengdao, you can't just think about yourself. We all know what the situation is, how can you..."
Wang Zhengdao suddenly grabbed Qiao Yuanjiang's neck and roared like an angry lion: "What's wrong with my son? The reason why my son is like this is because of your Qiao family!"
Qiao Yuanjiang grabbed Wang Zhengdao's wrist, but the other person's wrist became tighter and tighter. When Qiao Yuanjiang thought that he had murderous intentions and wanted to strangle himself here, Wang Zhengdao suddenly let go of his hand.
Qiao Yuanjiang covered his throat and coughed violently. He pointed at Wang Zhengdao angrily: "Wang Zhengdao, you are crazy! What does your son's murder have to do with our family? Ahem, crazy man, what kind of engagement? It was a joke decades ago. Do you take it seriously? Don't bother me again." He stood up and rushed out.
When he came to the door, he heard Wang Zhengdao say coldly: "How did Mei Xiqing die?"
Qiao Yuanjiang's feet were frozen in place, and his hand that was on the doorknob slowly retracted.
“Who reported Qiao Yuanshan again?”
Qiao Yuanjiang slowly turned around, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Wang Zhengdao.
"Do you really want to kill someone and silence them? It's a pity that you can't do it." Wang Zhengdao sat on the sofa, took out another cigarette and lit it. At this moment, his mood was extremely calm, but in Qiao Yuanjiang's eyes, his calmness was extremely Cruel and cold-blooded.
Wang Zhengdao exhaled a cloud of smoke: "After much thought, there is only one person who harmed my son, and that is Qiao Yuanshan."
"I know him, and he knows me. People like him will not die so easily. If he lives, do you think he will let you go?" When Wang Zhengdao said these words, the fear in his heart was growing crazily.
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "He has been missing for so many years. If he had come back, he would have come back a long time ago. He would not have waited until now." "If Jiancheng and Xiaoxue can get together, it will be a good thing for both of us."
Qiao Yuanjiang kept a close eye on Wang Zhengdao. He had already understood Wang Zhengdao's true intention. Wang Zhengdao insisted that Qiao Yuanshan had harmed his son. His purpose in promoting this marriage was to ruin Mei Ruxue's life and take revenge on Qiao Yuanshan, his imaginary enemy. If Qiao Yuanshan is alive, then he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Maybe he will take the initiative to stop this from happening. He wants to use marriage to stimulate Qiao Yuanshan who may be lurking.
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Xiaoxue won't agree."
Wang Zhengdao flicked the cigarette ashes: "We all have one thing in common. We are willing to sacrifice our own personal happiness for the family. Damn the overall situation. Whether Xiaoxue agrees or not depends on how you do it. If she realizes this matter, handle it Improper conduct may very well destroy your family and your and your father's reputation, so she should make a sacrifice."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: “These young people are innocent.”
Wang Zhengdao said coldly: "As a member of the family, no one can escape responsibility." His hand reached out to Qiao Yuanjiang again. Qiao Yuanjiang took a step back because of fear, but still could not avoid it. Wang Zhengdao's right hand fell On his left shoulder, although there was no force exerted, Qiao Yuanjiang felt an unbearable pressure.
“You will try your best, right?”
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Xiaoxue will not agree."
Wang Zhengdao chuckled and said: "It depends on the human effort!" He handed Qiao Yuanjiang a document bag: "Give these things to her, she should be obedient."
Mei Ruxue originally wanted to visit her uncle at his residence, but Qiao Yuanjiang insisted on going to her home in Dongzhou, saying that she had been entrusted by her grandfather to find out about her current living environment.
When Mei Ruxue hurried home, Qiao Yuanjiang was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing Mei Ruxue's car appear, Qiao Yuanjiang got out of the car and asked the driver to wait for him outside.
Mei Ruxue invited her uncle into the house while expressing her apology.
Qiao Yuanjiang's smile seemed a little stiff, which may be related to the rapid drop in temperature in Dongzhou.
After consulting Qiao Yuanjiang's opinion, Mei Ruxue made him a cup of black coffee.
Qiao Yuanjiang held the hot coffee, and the taste in his heart was even more bitter than black coffee. He didn't know how he should start the topic, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
Mei Ruxue said: "Uncle, are you here specifically to visit the building?"
Qiao Yuanjiang nodded: "Your grandfather asked me to come over. Originally, he wanted to come over in person, but he has been in poor health recently."
“What’s wrong with grandpa?” Mei Ruxue asked with concern.
“I suffered some cold and cold, but I’m getting better.”
"He is getting old, so he cannot neglect his health. Minor problems may turn into serious illnesses if not treated in time." Mei Ruxue was about to call her grandfather back to ask about his condition.
Qiao Yuanjiang took a sip of black coffee, cleared his throat and said, "Xiaoxue, I chatted with Wang Zhengdao for a while today, and he made a request to me."
Mei Ruxue said in her heart that Wang Zhengdao could ask you for anything. Although she respected her uncle very much, she also knew that Qiao Yuanjiang had no real power at all now, and her grandfather had long given up on his expectations.
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "It has something to do with you."
Mei Ruxue still considered her uncle's feelings and smiled: "As long as it doesn't violate organizational discipline, it's easy to say."
Qiao Yuanjiang put down his coffee cup: "It's not about work."
Mei Ruxue was slightly startled. It was not a work matter, so why did Wang Zhengdao mention him? She vaguely felt something was wrong.
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Xiaoxue, he brought up the old things again. I hope we can reconsider your marriage to Jiancheng."
Mei Ruxue's beautiful eyes widened. She felt like she was being humiliated. The so-called baby marriage in the past had been discussed by both families for a long time. She and Wang Jiancheng had already put it down. Why would Wang Zhengdao still bring it up?
The uncle is really confused. He should have rejected Wang Zhengdao as soon as he proposed it, but he actually came to him and told him such ridiculous things. Did he think he would agree?
Mei Ruxue said: "There is nothing to consider. I don't have that kind of feelings for Wang Jiancheng, and he has the same feelings for me. We have made it clear a long time ago that we will not mention anything about the engagement in the future."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "But when Jiancheng is now in its current state, it needs help the most. After all, you and he have an engagement first..."
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Mei Ruxue was a little angry. Why was Qiao Yuanjiang so confused? Can he still tell who is his family member?
