Chapter 1130 - 1132
This damn girl, she always knows how to talk.
Otherwise, how could she fool Zhao Gang and the others?
No way, such a granddaughter-in-law can’t be allowed to enter the family. Once she does, Zhao Xuran, this grandson, will only dislike his grandfather even more.
"A little girl with such a sharp tongue, but girls should mind a bit. It’s not good to have too sharp a tongue."
Looking towards Zhao Xuran, "With a girl like this, be careful she suppresses you in the future."
"I think there’s nothing wrong with that statement, marriage freedom."
"Back then, Uncle, you pursued marriage freedom, so you can’t stop me from pursuing it."
"Moreover, Ni Zi’s situation is countless times better than your son-in-law’s situation back then."
"Sometimes people just need to accept old age." Zhao Xuran gestured to Zhao Jiangnan’s unfavorable look, wondering why he couldn’t see Dai Zhijun had his faults.
Dai Zhijun, Zhao Jiangnan got angry just hearing the name.
Back in the day, he couldn’t see good in this person, but he couldn’t stop Zhao Rui from wanting to marry him desperately. Helplessly, he had to agree.
Originally, it seemed fine because he treated his daughter well, but didn’t expect he’d make such a mistake.
"Alright, let’s go inside." Zhao Gang glared at Zhao Xuran, despite his dissatisfaction with Zhao Jiangnan, but he was a patient, what’s the point in arguing with a patient?
Zhao Xuran pinched his nose, genuinely angered by Zhao Jiangnan’s words.
"Uncle, let’s go inside and talk, it’s cold outside."
Zhao Jiangnan, also being elderly, got tired standing outside, but once he stepped inside the room, a rush of warmth relaxed him immediately.
The smell in the air was variously pleasant, just as he wanted to ask what the fragrance was, he saw several oranges placed in the room.
"Burning incense is a bit overwhelming, putting fruit is better."
"You can eat it and it has a fruity scent."
As soon as Zhao Rui stepped into the room, she was amazed. The furniture in here looked so antique, "Is this rosewood or huanghuali."
As Zhao Rui focused on the room’s items upon entering, Zhan Jing directly avoided her.
"Common wood."
"Besides, what does rosewood and huanghuali have to do with you?"
"Help support Uncle when you have time." Zhao Gang directly gave Zhao Rui something to do.
Zhao Rui had no time to care for the old man, knowing there were so many good things here, she wanted to have a good look and calculate.
Though some didn’t appreciate her, Zhao Rui shamelessly persisted, mostly getting people to yield, though either demanding money or good things, antiques, or valuable paintings.
Money, Zhao Rui had, but she couldn’t bear to give it out. The valuable paintings in their home were only two pieces, though she’d be clueless, she knew they had to be passed on.
So under some kind-hearted people’s guidance, she set her sights on Zhao Gang, and here truly opened her eyes, she never imagined there’d be such treasures.
"Brother, are these real?" Zhao Rui was about to pick them up to look.
Zhuge Zisu unceremoniously rushed over, "Do you not have manners, visiting someone’s home and casually picking things up to look?"
"If it breaks, are you planning to pay for it?"
"Or cry about having no money, and we send you to the police station?" Humph, shameless woman, still considered our elder, such an elder is disgustingly ordinary.
Zhao Rui was upset, "Dad."
Zhao Jiangnan was embarrassed by Zhao Rui’s actions, but he couldn’t let a junior speak to his daughter like that. Yet, he had just unceremoniously scolded Zhao Xuran.
Looking at this grandson who was variously unceremonious, worrying he’d not give face to him as a grandfather, helplessly he had to turn towards Zhao Gang, signaling him to step forward.
Zhao Gang was cheering his son’s behavior, "Zhao Rui, if you don’t want to take care of your dad, you can get out."
"Is this how you behave as a guest? Planning to see something you like and grab and leave?"
"I would never." Zhao Rui wouldn’t feel guilty, "You are my brother, your brother-in-law is in trouble now, shouldn’t you help?"
"Brother, I see you have quite a few good things here, why don’t you give a few to your sister, so I can save your brother-in-law." Zhao Rui looked pitifully at Zhao Gang.
"Dad, it wasn’t easy to find someone willing to help, but I don’t have good things." Zhao Rui looked at Zhao Jiangnan, hoping he would speak up.
Zhao Jiangnan wanted to speak for Zhao Rui, but did he dare? These things looked far from cheap.
Moreover, he didn’t believe those people were sincere in helping, many just wanted to get something.
Once the matter’s exposed, can they demand the things back?
Is there evidence of the things given to them? There’s no evidence, if so, forget it, they might get ready to deal with the family.
"Xiao Rui, don’t rush, we need to talk to your brother properly." Zhao Jiangnan thought if he could persuade the Chu Family to intervene, it would be ideal.
At this point, Zhao Jiangnan wasn’t thinking about the Chu Family’s relationship with Gong Ruini, just hoping if the Chu Family intervenes, these gift expenses could be saved.
Even more important, it would let those who laughed at the Zhao Family see that they haven’t fallen yet, they still have aces in hand, like the Chu Family.
Talk? Zhao Gang found it laughable, "I’m just a small businessman, what can I possibly do to help?"
"Uncle, didn’t you always say to trust the government, to believe they won’t wrongly accuse a good person?"
"Though Zhao Rui is my cousin, we hadn’t met before, and even the later meetings have been variously unpleasant. What do you think I should do?"
"I remember Xie Ya saying the Xie Family is so formidable, maybe you should go to the Xie Family for help."
"Right, exactly, the Xie Family is the local power, if they intervene, it’ll definitely work."
"You." Zhao Rui was furious. She truly humbled herself every way, but why were they still so unyielding?
"If I’m in bad luck, do you think you’ll have good days ahead?" She threatened to come with her kid at that time.
"Whether I’ll have good days has nothing to do with you." Zhao Gang wouldn’t yield to Zhao Rui’s threats.
"This time you’re let in, do you think you’ll come in so easily?"
"Honestly, the house owner isn’t even me, I’m just borrowing it."
"You all barged in without permission, really calling the police and getting you arrested, don’t blame me." Zhao Gang was also impatient.
Seeing this, if Dai Zhijun truly was unlucky, who knows to what state the Zhao Family would fall.
No way to stay in the South, then so many youths and seniors bringing everything to Beijing looking for him, what to do?
"I’ve only heard of children taking care of parents, never heard that if there are children, nephews take care of uncles."
"Much less heard of taking care of cousins."
"But I think Uncle isn’t without a place, Uncle should be living in a retirement home, there must be a room there to stay."
If Zhao Jiangnan dared to coax his children into coming to Beijing to cause trouble, he’d go all out.
Businessmen are all about profit, what good reputation?
Especially if supposed good reputation requires all sorts of hassle, he’d rather have none.
