Chapter 477 The man who wants to retire
It was almost evening when Xu Xing returned to Mansion No. 1. In the study, the man sat alone behind the large desk, leaning back on the back chair, closing his eyes and resting.
Under the white light, the man's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The thin lips that used to be tight and strong in the past were now bleak and colorless, and the whole person looked sick and decadent.
Xu Xing stood at the door and watched silently for a while. After thinking for a while, he turned around very lightly, intending to bring a blanket for the man to cover. Just as he turned around, he heard the man's hoarse voice behind him. .
"Is it done?"
Xu Xing turned around and saw that the man was still leaning back on the back chair and closing his eyes, as if what he heard just now was just an illusion.
But he knew very well that it wasn't.
Think about it too, how can a man fall asleep at this time?
I am afraid that I am thinking about the news of my beloved every minute and every second, for fear of missing any clues.
Xu Xing sighed lightly, even though he knew that the man was not asleep, he still kept his movements very light and his voice was much lower than usual.
"I have already conveyed your instructions to Young Master Xun, and Young Master Xun said that within half a year, he will make the Chen family disappear from the list of the four great aristocratic families."
The study was quiet.
After a while, Mo Shaochen leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, and then opened his black eyes with a light sound.
"Mortal wisdom."
The tone of was neither salty nor light, and his voice was neither cold nor warm. Anyway, Xu Xing couldn't tell whether he was praising or berating.
"Master Xun, do you still let A Yang go there?" Xu Xing asked.
Since Mo Shaochen planned to train Mo Xun secretly, he found a mistake and sent Xu Yang to Africa, and Xu Yang went around Africa and finally went to Mo Xun's side.
Over the years, Xu Yang has been secretly assisting Mo Xun.
Now that Mo Xun has returned to China and officially showed his face in the Mo family, there will be a bigger move soon, and there is no need to hide his identity anymore. Sending Xu Yang over is regarded as the head of the family Mo Shaochen to show his position to the world.
Mo Xun was backed by the man in power.
Mo Shao stared at Xu Xing with dark eyes for a long time, so long that Xu Xing thought he had said something wrong again, and finally heard the man speak:
"If it wasn't for the matter of looking for Qiqi, I still need you to do it. I really want to send the two of you, plus Han Yi, all three of you. With the three of you assisting him, I can retire with peace of mind."
Xu Xing was speechless, sighing that the man in the second room of the Mo family is really a clear stream in a famous family.
In order to fight for the inheritance of the family property, other people's families fought to the death and blood, but Mo Xianlin and Mo Shaochen, the father and son, gave up the inheritance directly for the sake of his wife, and the other successfully took over the position of the head of the family. About to retire, I am afraid that this wonderful father and son are the only two in the world who regard their status and wealth as their own.
…
When Mr. Qin returned to the study, the servant was cleaning up the chessboard and chess pieces that Qin Jingxiu had thrown to the ground. When he saw him coming in, the servant stepped forward nervously, "Master, a corner of this red sandalwood chessboard has been broken, and there are also pieces in the middle of the chessboard. If you have a very fine crack, do you want to send it in for repair?"
Hearing the servant's request, Mr. Qin's eyes fell on the red sandalwood chessboard placed on the short table.
One inch of red sandalwood is one inch of gold.
But he likes this chessboard, not because of its value, but because this chessboard is a 70th birthday gift from his granddaughter Qin Jingshu.
The only one is the most beloved granddaughter. It took a lot of thought to buy the first-class red sandalwood. How could he not like this chessboard by asking the best carpenter to build it?
But now, looking at the chessboard that he has treasured for ten years, the old man has mixed feelings.
At the same age of seventeen, Qin Jingshu was held in the palm of their hands by all of them. She was a high-ranking lady, and the other granddaughter was born in a poor urban village. , was abused by elders and bullied by classmates.
Mr. Qin doesn't feel sorry for his older granddaughter when he has a young granddaughter, but people always have a pity for the weak, and even more so for someone of Mr. Qin's age.
If a heart is divided into ten parts, then Old Master Qin's heart has at least eight points, and it goes to Tang Qi, the granddaughter who has struggled to survive for seventeen years.
Seeing that Mr. Qin was staring at the chessboard silently, his face was solemn, the servant thought he was angry because he broke his favorite chessboard, and could not help but feel even more anxious.
"Old, sir?"
Mr. Qin waved to the servant, "Take it and store it in the warehouse."
Hearing his order, the servant was not surprised. Although the red sandalwood chessboard is precious, it is broken if it is broken. Even if it is repaired, it will not smell like that.
But the servant knew that Mr. Qin was nostalgic, and he treasured this chessboard very much, so he specially asked whether it should be sent for repair.
After the servant cleaned up the study and left, Mr. Qin took out a bag of documents from the drawer of the desk, took out the documents and photos inside, and took a closer look. These are all information about Tang Qi.
Part of it, he gave it back to Chen Guoan last time.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qin suddenly remembered that when Chen Guoan came to get the documents, he mentioned that Tang Qi was his daughter-in-law's niece, and Tang Qi's biological mother was Mrs. Chen's sister who had been born in a car accident.
Mr. Qin quickly pulled out the page of Tang Qi's family background information and found the personal information of Mrs. Chen's sister, Tang Xin.
Seeing this, Mr. Qin's face immediately sank.
Tang Xin, died in a car accident in 1994.
But Tang Qi was born in 1997.
So, who is Tang Qi's biological mother?
(BUG here, please don't go into it, the author lost his mind when calculating the date of birth and age of the heroine)
Mr. Qin's eyes couldn't help but fall on Mrs. Chen's Tang Xiu's profile, a thought suddenly arose in his heart, and his face was more solemn than when he saw Tang Xin's death in a car accident in 1994.
After a while, Mr. Qin summoned the old housekeeper he trusted and gave Tang Xiu's information to him.
"Check her information, be sure to be detailed, especially when she is 18 years old, don't miss any clues."
…
Mr. Chen sent Qin Jingxiu away. After returning to the study, he sat alone for a long time and thought about it for a long time.
At the same time, he felt vaguely uneasy.
After thinking about it, Mr. Chen decided to ask his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Chen stayed in City B for more than half a month. Every day she walked with the old man, planted flowers, watered, cooked, and went shopping. She lived a leisurely and comfortable life, but she came here to ease the relationship with her eldest daughter, Tang Qi. But Tang Qi deliberately went against her, she had to go to M country to study English at this time, and she would not come back until two months later.
Coupled with the longing for her husband and young daughter, no matter how easy life is, Mrs. Chen will inevitably hold back her anger.
Grandmother is delicate and sensitive, and Madam Chen is not good at covering up her emotions, so how could she not notice.
After Mrs. Chen had watered the flowers and plants on the balcony, grandma pulled her into the living room to talk.
"I know you want to mend the mother-daughter relationship between you and Qiqi, but Qiqi is now abroad, so you can't do it by waiting. You have a husband and a daughter now, so you can't ignore your own family just because of Qiqi."
