China, Beijing.

Misty Rain.

Today was the day of Old Master Zhao's funeral, and early in the morning, many people had already arrived at the Zhao Family.

Although there had been many unfavorable rumors recently, the Zhao Family had been doing well for a long time. Besides, Old Man Zhao had been a good person in his life, so there were many people here to see him off.

Early in the morning, the people of the Zhao Family began to get busy. There were a lot of people who wanted to see them off, so they had to give these people off. The higher their status and rank, the closer they were to Old Man Zhao's coffin.

There were a lot of things that needed to be said. Someone who could stand by Old Man Zhao's side and send him off was not something he could do. It was as if they were treating him to a meal.

Xu Taiping drove the sparse Buick and slowly parked it in front of the Zhao Family's car park.

There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, but it was big enough to stop Xu Taiping's car.

Xu Taiping parked the car and got out.

Xu Taiping was wearing ordinary casual clothes, but now he was wearing a black suit with a white cloth wrapped around the arm.

Xu Taiping walked quietly to the gate of the Zhao Family.

The door of the Zhao Family residence was wide open. Many people stood in line at the door. There were also some people with more esteemed status who could take the other side of the path without having to line up.

Before, when Xu Taiping came, he was on the other side of the line, but this time, he no longer had the status of a member of the Zhao Family, and Zhao Taixu was no longer in the Zhao Family.

Looking at the long queue in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly thought of Zhao Gang.

What would Zhao Jin think if he saw this scene?

In Xu Taiping's eyes, Zhao Gang didn't care about trifling matters or respect. As long as they could get along, it didn't matter to him whether they had connections or not. But now, the Zhao Family was divided into different grades.

This was probably the biggest difference between a family and a person. When you were alone, you could forget about all these things, but if you were a big family, you could not be bothered about all this. Not necessarily, but they had to do it again. The Zhao Family was doing the same right now, the family was getting bigger, and they didn't have all that many details. People would feel that your family wasn't noble enough, but still dignified.

Perhaps this was the reason why Zhao Jin didn't want to live here. He was naturally free and easy to handle, and he probably didn't want to see so many complicated events.

Many people recognized him, after all, when he was celebrating the birthday of the Zhao Family's Patriarch, Xu Taiping sat at the main table. Many people had a deep impression of Xu Taiping, and in addition to the rumors from a few days ago that the head of the capital's fourth young master, Li Jiangshan, had insulted him, Xu Taiping, was well-known by many people. Yesterday, the Zhao Family had publicly declared that Xu Taiping was a fake, and the Zhao Clan's Ancestral Hall had deprived him of his status.

The gazes of the surrounding people towards Xu Taiping were not very friendly. Some of them were ridiculing him, while others were looking at him with contempt. This was the complete opposite of the envious and respectful look they had a few months ago.

Xu Taiping stood in the crowd, his eyes staring straight ahead. No matter how others looked at him, he just stood there like a pine tree.

The team moved forward bit by bit, and Xu Taiping followed them step by step. From time to time, there would be people being led through the team by the Zhao Family into the private tunnel by the side.

Some of the Zhao Family members glared angrily at Xu Taiping for a long time. In their eyes, a fake Zhao Family member like Xu Taiping was truly sinister. He had obtained enormous benefits from the Zhao Family, but in the end, Li Jiangshan had even humiliated him.

Some people looked at Xu Taiping with ridicule. From their point of view, Xu Taiping's act of taking advantage of the situation was truly despicable.

There was also a group of people who looked at Xu Taiping with strange expressions. Some were sighing, some were angry, and some were regretful. These people had a good relationship with Xu Taiping when he was in the Zhao Family, but at the moment, they could only treat him as a stranger.

Thus, after waiting in line for about half an hour, Xu Taiping finally arrived at the Zhao Family's gate.

Since he was here to send off Old Man Zhao, he didn't need any invitation. All he needed to do was make a simple check of his identity and then pass the security check along the way.

Several Zhao Family members were standing at the door. Xu Taiping came to the door and handed his ID card to them.

The man didn't take the ID card, but looked directly at Xu Taiping.

"You … Do you still have the nerve to come? " A middle-aged man asked.

Xu Taiping had seen this young man before. Thanks to his good memory, he knew that this young man's name was Zhao Dagang.

"I'll send you off, old man." Xu Taiping said.

"You're a fake member of the Zhao Family. What face do you have to send the old tutor off?" Zhao asked.

"I came as Xu Taiping." Xu Taiping explained.

"Our Zhao Family does not welcome you." Zhao Dagang fiercely said, "It's fine if you are pretending to be the descendant of our Zhao Family, but why are you begging Li Jiangshan as a member of the Zhao Family? "In our Zhao Family, there have always been soldiers who die standing. Do you know that you, as a member of the Zhao Family, lost the face of our Zhao Family when you begged for mercy?"

"I know." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Therefore, please leave this place. Our Zhao Family does not welcome you." Zhao Dagang said.

"Let's go. Don't just stand there. It's annoying!" Zhao Dagang said to a member of the Zhao Family beside him.

"Hurry up and get the hell away, our Zhao Family is not a place a scumbag like you can come to." Another Zhao Family member said.

"Boss Xu, let's return to your Jiangyuan city. Beijing isn't a place a person like you can set foot in." A person standing behind Xu Taiping said in a mocking tone.

"I thought it was a fierce dragon crossing the river, but I didn't expect it to be just a fox wearing the skin of a tiger." The person standing further away laughed.

The surrounding people were all nice, how could they not know that this person was talking about Xu Taiping taking advantage of the situation. Immediately, a group of people laughed.

Xu Taiping stood there, his face unchanging as he said, "The old gramps treated me so well when I was still alive, I want to send him off, please."

"You also know that the old gramps is good to you?" Then do you know what the lordmaster values the most in his life? "It's a matter of face. If you lose the face of one of our Zhao Family members, how would you have the face to give it to the old man?" Zhao asked.

"My fault." Xu Taiping said sincerely.

"Don't say anymore. Leave, our Zhao Family does not welcome you." Zhao Dagang waved his hand.

"Let's go, quickly!"

"Move away!" Several Zhao Family members said together.

Xu Taiping sighed, then turned and walked away.

At this moment, a few people walked over from the side.

These people did not queue up, but walked directly to the passageway at the side.

Xu Taiping had just walked out of the line and was standing right in front of them.

Xu Taiping knew the leader of the group, and he was none other than Zhao Xianglu. Behind Zhao Xianglu were two men, one old and one young. Xu Taiping didn't know these two men, but he knew who they were because Xu Taiping had seen them in the newspapers more than once.

These two people, the older one and the skinnier one, were called Li Bao Lu, the richest man in China, and the younger one, the one who looked very similar to Li Bao Lu, was Li Jiang Shan.

It was the person who had insulted Xu Taiping on the phone, Li Jiangshan.

Li Bao Lu was wearing a black suit like Xu Taiping, and Li Jiang Shan was wearing a casual white suit. Although the color was quite serious, with his identity, being able to attend Old Man Zhao's funeral and even wear such casual clothes was a little inappropriate.

Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Xianglu for a second, then he took a step back and made way for her.

Zhao Xianglu brought the two of them with him as he approached Xu Taiping.

Zhao Xianglu looked at Xu Taiping with a troubled expression. He didn't say anything, and just walked past him.

Li Baolu walked past Xu Taiping without looking at him. Li Jiangshan walked a little slower, and when he passed by Xu Taiping, he suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Taiping, smiled, and said, "Zhao Taiping?"

Xu Taiping froze for a moment, and then he heard Li Jiangshan say, "Xu Taiping!"

Xu Taiping looked at Li Jiangshan, who had a mocking smile on his face. He did not wait for him to say anything, but continued walking forward.

Although Li Jiangshan had only spoken six words, the insulting meaning in his words was understood by everyone present.

Xu Taiping stood there, but did not say anything, and in the eyes of the people around him, such an action was an admission of defeat.

"Trash. I thought he was awesome. What bullsh * t banner bearer? He definitely got it through a relationship."

"I think so too. There's no guarantee that this fellow will be a puppet! Didn't they say that Zhao Taixu forged the blood sample? There's no doubt that he is Zhao Taixu's puppet. "

"Now that you put it like that, I think it's strange that Zhao Taixu died. Could it be that this guy deliberately killed him and killed him?"

"I think it's possible!"

The surrounding people started to discuss. Xu Taiping ignored them and walked towards the parking lot.

A few steps later, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Taiping, wait a moment." Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
