On the way to ¡®Nalan¡¯s house¡¯, Nalan Qing kept clapping Wang Ming¡¯s hand tightly.
Knowing that she was worried, Wang Ming quietly held her hand and offered support.
Finally, the car stopped at an antique old house.
Wang Ming pulled Nalan Qing out of the car and saw an old man in his fifties standing at the door of the old house. According to his own introduction, he is the old housekeeper who takes care of this old house.
Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, Wang Ming and Nalan Qing arrived at the main courtyard deep in the old house.
In the main living room in the middle, there are some old-fashioned mahogany tables and chairs. At the top of the table and chairs in the middle of the room, two old people are sitting.
On the right hand side is the old man of the Liang family. Wang Ming and Nalan Qing have met him before, so they are familiar with him.
But neither of them had seen the old man on the left.
So after arriving at the house, the two of them looked at the old man more. Similarly, Nalan Hao was also observing Wang Ming and Nalan Qing.
There is no doubt that this girl is his granddaughter Nalan Qing who is living abroad. The young man next to her is her boyfriend ¡®Wang Ming¡¯.
With this understanding in his heart, Nalan Hao nodded to the two of them.
"Qingqing and Wang Ming are finally here. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Nalan Hao, an old guy from the 'Nalan family'. In terms of seniority, you have to call me 'Grandpa'. Brother Nalan , I don¡¯t need to introduce these two young people, right? One is your precious granddaughter Nalan Qing, and the other is her boyfriend Wang Ming."
When the old man of the Liang family saw Wang Ming and Nalan Qing arriving, he stood up and introduced them to everyone with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Nalan. I came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any gifts. Please don't mind too much. Nalan Qing didn't sleep well last night because of this. It's hard to see you today. I have the nerve to tell you something that will make you laugh."
Seeing that Nalan Qing was embarrassed to say hello to Nalan Hao, Wang Ming smiled and stepped forward to say hello to Nalan Hao.
"I'm very happy that you are here. Why don't you bring any gifts? Sit down quickly and have a good rest."
At this time, the servant below had already brought the tea up. Nalan Hao smiled without caring and waved his hand, signaling Wang Ming and Nalan Qing to sit down and rest for a while.
After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, Nalan Qing gradually relaxed and started talking to the two old people sitting at the head of the table.
In this conversation, most of the old man Nalan Hao asked Nalan Qing and Wang Ming about their work and experiences. Clearly, the old man wanted to know more about the two young men.
Because he knew that the Nalan family wanted to take the child Nalan Qing home, Wang Ming sat there quietly facing the old man without revealing anything too much.
While Nalan Qing was talking to this 'grandpa', she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After all, the two parties did not have much contact and understanding beforehand. Suddenly, a 'grandpa' appeared, which Nalan Qing found hard to accept.
She felt like it was an interrogation. The topic always revolves around her.
About her birth, about her mother, about their lives, about her experiences over the years
"Qingqing really wants to meet her father, Mr. Liang, have you had any contact beforehand?"
Finally, seeing that the old man of the Nalan family had almost finished asking, Wang Ming pretended to be casual and asked the old man Liang on the side.
To be honest, Wang Ming didn¡¯t know at this time how the Nalan family was going to fulfill this lie and naturally lure out the man Nalan Hongbo.
"Hmph, you mean that traitor?! He has no face to see my precious granddaughter!"
Hearing Wang Ming¡¯s words, Mr. Nalan snorted and said angrily, showing great dissatisfaction.
Nalan Qing couldn¡¯t help but look over in surprise at Old Man Nalan¡¯s angry words. At the same time, there was also some worry in her eyes.
Because he didn¡¯t know how the Nalan family arranged it, Wang Ming simply stopped speaking easily after bringing up the topic and prepared to wait and see what would happen.
"Wang Ming, we have spent so much effort, but this old man from the Nalan family has ruined it all. This old boy is trying to tear us down."
At this time, Nalan Hao looked at Wang Ming angrily. Just when Wang Ming felt a little confused, the old man of the Liang family on the side said with a wry smile.
"Young man, ifIf I, the old man, don¡¯t know about this, how long are you going to continue to lie to my precious granddaughter? Do you want me to explain the truth to my precious granddaughter now, or do you take the initiative to confess to her yourself? "
Before Wang Ming could say anything, Mr. Nalan on the side continued.
Under Nalan Qing¡¯s stunned gaze, Wang Ming listened to the two old men singing harmoniously. After being surprised, he instantly understood the Nalan family¡¯s plan.
It turns out that the play performed today requires one person to play the red face and the other to play the bad face.
It seems that the Nalan family has really made up their mind to recognize Nalan Qing back into the family. It is precisely because of this that they have put so much thought into singing such a play so that they can perform it for Nalan Qing. The girl came to see.
In order for Nalan Qing, a girl, to get a family and a complete family, Wang Ming had various thoughts flashing through his mind.
In the end, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Nalan, why don't you take a breath earlier? It seems that if I go back today, Qingqing will make me kneel on the washboard."
While speaking, Wang Ming looked at Nalan Qing sitting next to him with a grimace.
Since today is to let Nalan Qing happily return to the Nalan family, then simply be a "white face" and let the Nalan family act as a "red face" so that Nalan Qing can feel them. Care and maintenance for her.
When Mr. Nalan saw Wang Ming say this, he didn't show anything on the surface, but deep down he admired Wang Ming's ability to know what was going on.
And then he naturally behaved like an elder in the family and severely reprimanded Wang Ming and Nalan Qing's father Nalan Hongbo in front of Nalan Qing. Of course, even the old man of the Liang family on the side did not escape his blame.
From the beginning when Wang Ming came to Shenchuan City to find Nalan Hongbo through the Chess Association, and then confirmed Nalan Hongbo¡¯s identity through the ¡®Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock¡¯, and then how to find Nalan Qing. In order to take Nalan Qing's mood into account, everyone had to deal with the situation carefully and a series of other things. Mr. Nalan sat next to Nalan Qing and explained everything to her.
During this process, he also said some kind words for Wang Ming appropriately, so that Nalan Qing would not really blame Wang Ming for deliberately deceiving her.
Finally, after knowing the whole incident, Nalan Qing looked at everyone in the room with complicated eyes, especially when she looked at Wang Ming, it was even more complicated.
"Wang Ming, you already know the truth, why didn't you tell me earlier? 'Old Li' is my father?"
After staring at Wang Ming for a while, Nalan Qing said in a hesitant voice.
"Your father was afraid that you would suddenly not be able to accept this fact, and even more afraid that you would not recognize him as your father, so he did not dare to let us tell you the truth. But I have always wanted to tell you this matter. Two days ago I I wanted to mention this to you, but after thinking about it I finally gave up. The reason I haven¡¯t told you about this is because I want to give you a buffer to understand, and I don¡¯t mean to deceive you intentionally. "
Facing Nalan Qing¡¯s look, Wang Ming vaguely remembered the scene in Huajing City when Nalan Qing was so sad that she wanted to leave him.
Knowing that Nalan Qing was feeling very confused and uncomfortable at this time, Wang Ming did not want her to have any misunderstandings because of these things.
"I asked them to do this. Wang Ming actually advocated not hiding anything from you from the very beginning."
At this moment, a middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from the direction of the door.
Nalan Qing looked in the direction of the sound, and she didn¡¯t know when ¡®Old Li¡¯ was already standing at the door.
At this moment, she should probably change her name to calling this man ¡®father¡¯, or Nalan Hongbo!
"Why are you afraid that I will know the truth? Do you feel sorry for my mother?"
From the moment she saw Nalan Hongbo, Nalan Qing finally collapsed!
No matter how strong she is, she is still just a girl. After knowing the truth of the matter and experiencing ups and downs, her mood could not calm down for a long time.
And the appearance of Nalan Hongbo made her already chaotic mood turbulent again.
"I am indeed sorry for your mother, and I am sorry for you. But listen to me, I have difficulties here. I did go back to look for your mother back then, but I didn't find her"
Seeing Nalan Qing¡¯s excited look, Nalan Hongbo was stunned for a moment before saying in a hesitant voice.
His worries finally became a reality, and at this moment, he had to face the bitter fruit he had sown.
"I don't listen! I don't listen! Liar, you liar, you are all liars!"
Covering her ears, Nalan Qing was unwilling to listen to any explanation from Nalan Hongbo, let alone believe anyone in the room at this time.people.
It was extremely chaotic. She just wanted to be alone for a while and escape from all the things in front of her.
These things are too sudden. She was not mentally prepared at all, nor did she expect that things would turn out like this.
While shaking her head and roaring, Nalan Qing rushed out of the house and ran outside.
She wants to leave here without seeing anyone, so that she can calm down and think about how to deal with this series of things.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ming was stunned for a moment and rushed outside the house, trying to catch up with Nalan Qing.
But there was a figure faster than him who rushed from the door to the outside of the courtyard early, chasing Nalan Qing.
"Wang Ming, please let her father spend some time alone with her. After all, these matters need to be handled by the father and daughter alone. As for you, the old man of the Nalan family has something to say to you."
Seeing that Wang Ming also wanted to chase him out, the old man of the Liang family waved his hand to stop him.
"Mr. Nalan, you can make a fake show, but it will be fake after all. I don't really agree with Nalan Qing returning to your 'Nalan family'."
Standing there, Wang Ming looked at Nalan Hao and said coldly.
As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the two old men in the room changed at the same time.
"Wang Ming's words are full of lies, and the meaning is not good.
This sudden change caused Mr. Nalan's face to change drastically and he looked at Wang Ming again. At this moment, he realized that Wang Ming, who had been smiling or calm just now, was actually like this in his heart under the disguise of appearance. idea.
And if you put it this way, why did he cooperate with you like that just now?
"Nalan Qing is my granddaughter. Even if I'm pretending to be real, I still want her to recognize her ancestors and find a place to live. This matter can only be good for her, not bad."
After thinking about it for a moment, Nalan Hao looked at Wang Ming and said slowly.
He held the tea cup in his hand and stroked it gently, trying to figure out the thoughts and purposes of the young man Wang Ming.
Having experienced the world for a long time, these old people can often tell a lot of things through some clues.
Similarly, the old man of the Liang family on the side also frowned slightly, sitting aside and silently observing what was going on in the field.
Originally, he thought that Wang Ming's cooperation with them in acting in front of Nalan Qing just meant that Wang Ming tacitly agreed to their method of doing things and allowed Nalan Qing to return to the Nalan family naturally.
"But Wang Ming's sudden change of attitude at this time made Mr. Liang unsure of what Wang Ming was thinking.
At this time, Wang Ming spoke.
"In that case, I wonder what the two old men want to talk about when they leave me alone?"
After looking at Nalan Qing and Nalan Hongbo who had already rushed out of the courtyard and gradually disappeared from sight, Wang Ming spoke while gently sitting back in his original seat.
When Wang Ming said these words, the two old people sitting at the front seat were stunned for a moment.
At this time, they vaguely guessed the reason for Wang Ming's sudden change of attitude.
Whether it¡¯s the ¡®Liang Family¡¯ or the ¡®Nalan Family¡¯, the important reason why they value Nalan Qing is because of Wang Ming¡¯s existence.
If Nalanqing¡¯s boyfriend did not have a certain influence, these two families would not value Nalanqing¡¯s influence so much and have some relationship with her.
Of course, among them, there is also the reason of Nalan Qing¡¯s father Nalan Hongbo. If he, the father, had not decided to pass on the heirlooms of the Nalan family to the girl Nalan Qing, I am afraid that the Liang family would not have paid much attention to the girl Nalan Qing.
After figuring out the reason, the two old men looked at each other and saw the bitter smile and helplessness deep in the other's eyes.
The young man in front of me is difficult to deal with.
Deep down in their hearts, what they value is the influence and long-term benefits that Nalanqing can bring. But deep down in his heart, he didn't pay much attention to the girl Nalan Qing, or even to the biological grandfather Nalan Hao.
But it was different for Wang Ming. What he cared about was Nalan Qing, not the two families, the Nalan Family and the Liang Family, who were involved behind the scenes. Even because of Nalan Qing, Wang Ming didn't have much favorable impressions of these two aristocratic families.
According to Wang Ming's attitude at this time, Nalan Qing was not here, but he no longer had any false or false contact with the two families because of Na Lan Qing.
The two old men could see that Nalan Qing held a very important position for Wang Ming.
They want to negotiate with Wang Ming next, but it doesn¡¯t seem to be possible.?Smoothly.
But seeing Nalan Qing¡¯s influence on Wang Ming, if this point is grasped well, unexpected results can also be achieved.
¡ ¡
Thinking about a series of things, Nalan Hao was silent for a while without speaking.
Finally, after thinking about it, he said to Wang Ming: "I keep you here because I want to discuss with you about the child Nalan Qing. As you can see, this child doesn't have much affection for our family. . If the family really lives together in the future, there will inevitably be some inconveniences. From the bottom of my heart, although I can¡¯t say I like this child too much, I feel somewhat guilty. If I hadn¡¯t asked Hongbo to come back and get married, I¡¯m afraid This kid won¡¯t have to suffer so much over the years.¡±
When speaking these words, Mr. Nalan sighed, his voice a little bitter.
Hearing what he said, Wang Ming truly understood the reason why Nalan Hongbo and Nalan Qing's mother separated. It seems that due to family pressure, Nalan Hongbo had to marry Li Rong and start a family, and then lost Nalan Qing's mother.
"Nalan Qing will live with me from now on and will not have too much involvement with your Nalan family. I only have one request, that you don't hurt her. I don't want anyone to let her be hurt in the slightest, especially emotionally. Hurt.¡±
Wang Ming shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Nalan Hongbo does have some father-daughter feelings for Nalan Qing, but apart from him, Wang Ming almost dares to make a decision. Not many people in the entire Nalan family will treat Nalan Qing kindly!
Not to mention anything else, you can tell one thing or two from the old man Nalanhao today!
So at this moment Wang Ming stated his position very simply, not wanting Nalan Qing to be too involved with the Nalan family.
"Wang Ming, how can you say that? The old guy from the Nalan family is still a good person. You don't have to worry about what kind of injustice Nalan Qing will suffer. And he won't let her, a girl, suffer any injustice."
The old man of the Liang family on the side couldn't stand it, so he persuaded him from the side.
¡°When I have been in contact with Wang Ming in the past, I have never seen such an unkind side of Wang Ming. Seeing Wang Ming like this today, the old man of the Liang family couldn't accept it for a while.
"If you say so, that's fine. I have no problem with you taking Nalan Qing away, but the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' of our 'Nalan Family' must stay. This is a family inheritance and cannot be allowed to Someone else takes it away.¡±
Seeing that Wang Ming was a bit too sharp, Mr. Nalan's face also became a little gloomy. He looked at Wang Ming for a while and then said coldly.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Nalan probably doesn't have much affection for your granddaughter. That's fine. I'll go back and have a look at her tone. But before that, I hope that we all try to keep in touch with her as usual in front of her. I have what I value. You have what you value, everyone has your own requirements, don¡¯t influence each other. I will give you an answer in two days."
Seeing that the old man Nalan Hao could no longer hold himself back, Wang Ming sneered in his heart and stood up and spoke.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without further conversation with the two old men.
The Nalan family disappointed him and made him feel unworthy of Nalan Qing.
¡ ¡
Wang Ming¡¯s departure made the two remaining old men in the room look at each other. After looking at each other, they both sighed at the same time.
"How did things end up like this? Didn't we agree in advance to have a good relationship with this young man? Now that you are doing this, the relationship is completely dead."
Looking at Nalan Hao sitting opposite, the old man of the Liang family said depressedly.
Originally, he had a good relationship with Wang Ming. He had originally agreed to invite Wang Ming to their hospital to discuss medical skills together, and also inquire about the whereabouts of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Acupuncture'.
It¡¯s better now. Today, the relationship between the several parties has completely become tense, and the relationship between the ¡®Liang family¡¯ and Wang Ming has also become tense. If you want to contact Wang Ming again in the future, it will not be easy.
"Didn't you see it? This kid's aggressive look makes it clear that there is nothing to talk about between us. Do you want my old face to stick to his cold ass? I, Nalan Hao, haven't reached this level yet. And our Nalan family hasn¡¯t reached the stage of asking for help yet.¡±
Hearing what the old man from the Liang family said, Nalan Hao glanced at him and said angrily.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Unexpectedly, this guy Wang Ming is a smiling tiger and a two-faced person.
Just a moment ago, they were chatting and laughing together in a friendly manner, but in the blink of an eye, they were facing each other coldly.
Facing this situation, Nalan Hao was also full of depression.
"You are really ready to put 'Dragon'Take back the Feng Changming Lock from that female doll? I'm afraid that kid Hong Bo won't agree. Besides, young man Wang Ming may not do what you say. "
Hearing Nalan Hao¡¯s words, the old man of the Liang family shook his head and asked.
He saw what was happening in front of him from beginning to end, and he was a little helpless when things turned into this situation.
But now that the matter is over, all that¡¯s left is to find a solution, and there¡¯s no point in shaking your head and sighing here.
"The 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' was passed down by our ancestors of the Nalan family. It is definitely impossible to pass it on to a girl. In this matter, no matter what, the 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' must be returned. Just give us the 'Nalan Family'!"
Putting the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, Mr. Nalan said angrily.
"This is good. I'll go back to our boy to discuss what to do about this matter. This is a headache. The rules set by our ancestors are not child's play"
Seeing Nalan Hao¡¯s tough attitude, the old man of the Liang family said a little embarrassed.
¡°The ¡®Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock¡¯ is related to the inheritance and development of the two aristocratic families, and some rules have been set since the ancestors to allow the two families to support each other and develop. This involves the token of 'dragon and phoenix longevity lock', and also involves the power of the two family principals.
Therefore, if the 'Nalan Family' wants to take back this 'Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock' at this time, it can almost be said that it affects the whole body. Their 'Liang Family' is bound to be affected to a certain extent.
¡°The old man of the Liang family will go back and discuss this matter with his son Liang Yi, now the host of the ¡®Liang Family¡¯.
Nalan Hao knew the rules here, so he didn¡¯t try to persuade the old man of the Liang family to stay, and immediately sent someone to send the old brother back to the Liang family.
After the old man of the Liang family left, Nalan Hao sat alone in the house, thinking about what actions he should take next to get back the "Dragon and Phoenix Longevity Lock" of their "Nalan Family".
¡ ¡
After leaving Nalan¡¯s house, Wang Ming called Nalan Qing¡¯s phone number.
Unfortunately, when the call was made, there was only a notification tone that the other party had turned off the phone.
In desperation, Wang Ming called Nalan Hongbo¡¯s mobile phone again.
Fortunately, Nalan Hongbo¡¯s mobile phone can be connected.
After making the call, Wang Ming found out that Nalan Hongbo was in a quiet teahouse with Nalan Qing at this time. At this moment, Nalan Hongbo was explaining to Nalan Qing what happened back then, and wanted to get her understanding.
After receiving Wang Ming¡¯s call, Nalan Hongbo briefly talked to him and then handed the phone to Nalan Qing.
"I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I'm much better now. Don't worry too much. I'll go back to you in a while."
Nalan Qing¡¯s voice was still a little hoarse, obviously the sequelae of crying just now.
After hearing her words, Wang Ming was relieved.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. In fact, Uncle Nalan really wants to make up for the debt he owes you mother and daughter over the years. Of course, he did make unforgivable mistakes in the past. Anyway, sit down and chat with him. It won¡¯t make any difference to chat and hear about your mother¡¯s past. Don¡¯t think too much about it, I¡¯ll wait for you to come back.¡±
Wang Ming said to Nalan Qing slowly that he didn¡¯t want her to worry about these things.
"Well, I understand, don't worry, I will listen to you."
Hearing Wang Ming¡¯s concerned words, Nalan Qing nodded obediently and said softly.
¡ ¡
Not long after Wang Ming hung up the phone with Na Lanqing, and when he was about to take a taxi back to the hotel, he received a call from Hua Feng.
Early this morning, Hua Feng took Hong Jiangyun and Hong Jiangxia, brothers and sisters, to inspect the land on the spot, and asked members of the Shenchuan branch of the 'Fahrenheit Group' to handle the relevant procedures for bidding on the land. matters.
At this time, Hua Feng called. It must be that things have made some progress.
"Cousin, my suggestion is that we find another piece of land. The piece of land we are looking at now is not easy, so it is better for us not to move."
The first words Hua Feng said after the call was connected made Wang Ming's heart sink a little.
"What? What did you find over there?"
Wang Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked.
With an indescribable perception, Wang Ming knew that what Hua Feng discovered was probably inseparable from the people he met that day.
"Brother Chen said that there might be an underground boxing ring there, and there were many secret locations of the underworld hidden there. And there, he also met?Some characters on the front road. So he suggested that we try not to take advantage of this piece of land. "
Because Erhan and Chen Ji had accompanied Zhou Wanqing and her daughter to the Zhang family, Chen Taichong, who was alone in the room, felt quite bored, so he followed Hua Feng and others to see the land. .
It was precisely because of the presence of him, a figure who had been involved in the underworld in Shenchuan City, that Hua Feng discovered something wrong with that piece of land under his guidance.
It is precisely for this reason that he just suggested this to Wang Ming.
"Okay, I understand. Let's talk about it when you guys come back. How is the situation with Wanqing over there? Has she called you?"
After knowing the general reason, Wang Ming nodded and said.
Since this piece of land cannot be easily moved, why does Zhang Tian still act like he is determined to win it?
Thinking of this, Wang Ming was a little worried about what would happen if Nalanqing and her daughter went to the Zhang family.
