The seventh lady of the Sheng family sat restlessly at home and waited anxiously all day long. No news came from the fourth brother Sheng Enyi. Instead, the housekeeper sent a box, which was so heavy in her hand that it felt like it was money. "Old Wu, why are you holding a box that looks like it belongs to a woman?" "When I got back to Miss Qi, the person who brought it didn't say anything. He just left a sentence. Miss Qi will know after opening it." Miss Sheng Qi The catkin holding the handkerchief waved gently twice, and the housekeeper left wisely. Today, the seventh lady is in charge of the financial power inside and outside the Sheng family garden. However, for a woman from the Republic of China, the age of twenty-five without her husband's family is an age that sounds scary. If it weren¡¯t for the aura of the Sheng family, Miss Sheng Qi¡¯s life might have been even more difficult. Mainly because the gossip outside makes people unbearable, just like Miss Song San, in terms of talent, communication and ability, she is no worse than Miss Sheng Qi. But when it comes to family life, the two of them are in heaven and earth. A few years ago, Miss Song San found a job not long after she returned to China. She taught English and Western literature courses at the Young Women¡¯s Christian Association to wealthy ladies and wives in Shanghai. He was also one of the first members of the film censorship committee and was quite famous among the wives of Shanghai's upper-class circles. But it was accompanied by rumors and rumors, which were not as bad as the wind and the wind, but still caused a lot of trouble and worry to the Song family. Because for a woman, especially an unmarried woman, words like being capable and shrewd are not necessarily good words. Especially for a social butterfly, this is not a reputation that a serious person should have. Song's mother kept talking all day long, deeply afraid that Miss Song's reputation would be tarnished and she would be detained in the boudoir for the rest of her life. If you have a prominent family background or a generous dowry, these will become compliments. This world is so realistic. Realistic people can say that black is white; and white can naturally become black. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Miss Song San¡¯s dowry is not generous enough, and she does not have a huge inheritance to inherit like Miss Sheng Qi¡¯s? Especially Mrs. Zhuang's alimony will most likely fall into her hands. That is not a small amount of money, but a family fortune of 700,000 taels of silver! Most people in the world are powerful, and Miss Sheng Qi also knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at her. She sent away the maid in the room, but she stared blankly at the exquisite little box. It was beautifully decorated, but she could smell the smell. The smell on the display counter of the paint shop was obviously new from a store on the street. Perhaps she had anticipated the contents of the box, but Miss Sheng Qi hesitated for a long time, still not daring to open it. She was deeply afraid that the moment she opened the box, her world would collapse and be completely destroyed. Most girls from rich families, especially those from top wealthy families, are not that kind of innocent girls. They have experienced scheming and scheming at a very young age. In a big family, purity is synonymous with stupidity, and the next step is to fall out of favor, be ignored, or even be disliked. Miss Sheng Qi can only have an innocent side in front of Song Ziwen. If she loses this person, her life has just begun and she will fall into endless darkness. After visiting her mother¡¯s room, Miss Sheng Qi was in a daze in front of the box again. After Mrs. Zhuang experienced the pain of losing her husband, she has calmed down in recent years. However, my health is not very good and I often have headaches. She had been restless these past two days, fearing that her fourth and fifth brothers would cause something out of control, causing Mrs. Zhuang to worry blindly. But she couldn't forget the look in Song Ziwen's eyes when he left, with a kind of helpless pity, which made her heartache. Even if Miss Sheng Qi fell in love with Song Ziwen, she still felt a bit superior deep down. She was the daughter of the first official businessman in the Republic of China, and she fell in love with the poor boy Song Ziwen. Even if he shouldn't do anything to express gratitude, but doting on her is not too much, right? But in Song Ziwen's eyes, the identity of Miss Sheng's family was even looked down upon with extreme disdain. It was difficult to guess what kind of ambition was hidden in the chest of a man like Song Ziwen! Perhaps he would never say these words to himself. Because men have men¡¯s careers, while women¡¯s career is to run the family. This is a concept that has been instilled in her when she was growing up. This has been an eternal concept in China for thousands of years, and it has never changed due to social changes and the times. Change occurs due to turmoil. ¡°Perhaps a woman should still be strong, but definitely not when facing her husband. Miss Sheng Qi couldn't help but think of Song Ziwen's warning. For the Sheng family, after Sheng Xuanhuai's death, the towering tree that withstood the storm had fallen. The children of the Sheng family had to accept a grim fact and must support their own sky. "It's a pity that Miss Sheng Qi feels that she can't see this day coming, and she even has to hold up a sky for Mrs. Zhuang. Facing possible difficulties?She finally picked up the heavy box with trembling hands. The scene from two years ago seemed to reappear in front of my eyes. I ran out of home secretly, taking my jewelry box with me. There were dozens of gold leaves in the jewelry box. Each of these one or two gold leaves can be used anywhere. In exchange for one hundred oceans in a bank. To send Song Ziwen thousands of oceans at once, only a young lady from the Sheng family could achieve this level of generosity. Miss Sheng Qi seemed to have flashbacks to that day, the moment she bid farewell to Song Ziwen on the street. Song Ziwen said: "Come with me and we will be together in Guangzhou forever." At that moment, Miss Sheng Qi's heart melted. It's a pity that she shook her head in the end and said, "I'm in Shanghai, waiting for you forever." At that time, she could feel the heavy attachment and reluctance in each other's hearts, but yesterday, just outside the Shengjia Garden, she I can no longer feel the feeling of caring about each other. Instead, she saw a man whose dignity was trampled on by her family time and time again, and made a decision that was very unfair to her, breaking up. The moment she tremblingly opened the box, the charming golden light seemed to mock her innocence like irony. ¡°Bang¡with a bang, she closed the box. The tears were falling down like a broken pearl curtain, but Miss Sheng Qi was at a loss, as if she was frozen, and couldn't even breathe smoothly. "How can you be so cruel?" "How can you be so cruel?" Miss Sheng Qi screamed like a volcano suddenly erupting, her voice was filled with despair, she raised the box with both hands and threw it On the ground, pieces of golden gold leaves. She didn't even feel that her mother, Mrs. Zhuang, was already standing in her boudoir, frowning. This woman was once the happiest woman in the Republic of China. She had a husband who was a high-ranking official and well-paid, and had a group of happy children. Coupled with countless wealth, she became the envy of countless women in the Republic of China. But standing in her daughter's room, feeling her daughter's sadness as if she was being torn apart, she was at a loss. Aren't you just a low-class little loser? He hooked up with his precious daughter without even looking at his identity. What image was Song Ziwen in her mind at the beginning, and what image he still has now. A lady of her status would not care to guess the extraordinary behind the identity of a poor boy. For Mrs. Zhuang, Miss Sheng Qi is the sweetheart of her and Master Sheng Xuanhuai, the apple of their eye. If it were a daughter of a concubine, Mrs. Zhuang would not even let her housekeeper investigate the Song family's identity. But Miss Sheng Qi is different. What she doesn't understand is that because of this different concern, her daughter will be wrapped up in a boring life for the rest of her life. "Xiao Qi!" "Mom!" Miss Sheng Qi is a woman after all. She was so emotionally excited that she could no longer hold on and fell into Mrs. Zhuang's arms and cried bitterly. The gold leaf sent by Song Ziwen is as important to her as a token of love between the two, and it is the link that maintains all relationships between the two. But when Song Ziwen sent someone to deliver Jin Yezi to Sheng Mansion, she knew that there would never be anything between them again. Song Ziwen had already made a decision, and she could only accept it without even having a chance to question him face to face. Mrs. Zhuang was also very distressed, patting her daughter's back and wiping her tears. She murmured some curse words, and it seemed that she could only use such words to maintain the dignity of the Sheng family. Thinking of the time when Master Sheng Xuan was pregnant, sadness also welled up in my heart. In the evening, Sheng Zhongyi wandered to the Sheng family garden with his fourth son, Sheng Enyi. They also heard from the housekeeper how Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Sheng Qi burst into tears. I originally came to comfort him during dinner, but for some reason, he started talking about money. Sheng Enyi, the fourth son of the Sheng family, patted his chest and said that he could add an additional 100,000 yuan to the seventh sister's dowry. For people like him, he feels that money can still solve all problems, even family ties. ??Actually, this is not easy for Sheng Enyi. To outsiders, he is the character of a good-money boy, generous and a face-saving person; but to his family, he is as indifferent as an enemy, and his interests must not be lost in the fight for family property. It was an unprecedented feat for Sheng Enyi to be able to offer up one hundred thousand to his sister at the dinner table today. Lao Wusheng Zhongyi also said that he would also pay 100,000. Mrs. Zhuang, who still didn't know what stupid things her two fearless sons would do, felt better. She looked at her family with a kinder look: "Yes! Xiaoqi, your fourth brother and fifth brother are both I care about you. With this 200,000 yuan dowry, you can look up at any husband's house. Why don't you thank your fourth brother or fifth brother? " "??, don't ask me to thank you first, first ask where the money of Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother comes from, right? Miss Sheng Qi stared at Sheng Enyi and then asked: "Fourth brother, does your sister-in-law know about this matter I asked you?" " Sheng Enyi's wife is the eldest daughter of Sun Baoqi. This Mrs. Sun has been following Sheng Enyi since he went to study abroad. Of course, there are some things that make Sheng Enyi feel very embarrassed. Mrs. Sun is so smart that she crushes him in terms of IQ and cannot raise his head. So much so that when he was studying in Europe and the United States, his wife was required to take part in exams and exams, which made Sheng Enyi always have the illusion that his wife looked down on him. In front of Sheng Xuanhuai, they maintained a loving appearance as husband and wife, but secretly they lived separately. Sheng Enyi became angry for no reason: "How can a woman get involved in a man's affairs?" " "Mom and I can't interfere either? "Sheng Aiyi didn't give her brother any room to refute and pressed the question directly. Mrs. Zhuang seemed to think that such a woman was too harsh and advised: "Xiao Qi. " " Our Sheng family sells our own goods, do we still have to look at the looks of outsiders? "Sheng Enyi also became angry. As Mrs. Zhuang's pet peeve, it was common for him to lose his temper in the Sheng family. The servants were not surprised. On the contrary, the housekeeper saw this and knew that there were some words that the servants should not listen to, so he drove all the servants serving in the restaurant away. "Outsiders have also tried to persuade you, who are they? " "It's the third son of the Zhu family who has become more sophisticated in the past two years with Wang Xueqian. He dares to threaten me. He doesn't even realize that this is a concession and not a Zhejiang territory. He still has nothing to do with us. " "Which company's stock is it? " "Don't worry about it! " Sheng Aiyi also seemed to notice something strange on the faces of some fourth and fifth brothers. They must have felt the pressure, but they were confused by the interests and did not dare to ignore it. Her seemingly weak face also darkened, and she said gloomily : "I just want to know the shares of the company you sold. Is this too much? " Sheng Enyi also became angry. He threw the bowls and chopsticks on the table and yelled: "What's wrong with the Investment Promotion Bureau and the Manufacturing Bureau? " "OMG! " Sheng Aiyi looked at her two brothers in surprise. She couldn't imagine that even she, a woman, knew the importance of these two companies. She didn't care about the number of shares, but the importance. Not to mention the manufacturing bureau, only the ship investment The bureau has already involved almost all the port terminals in the Republic of China. The change of shares will herald changes in the structure of China Merchants. Without the consent of the directors of the board of directors, Shengjia's move can bring down all shareholders. dissatisfaction. It is equivalent to sending the Sheng family to the opposite side of the major forces of the Republic of China. The Manufacturing Bureau is a military industrial enterprise that can manufacture guns and cannons, and can even manufacture warships. Such changes in corporate shares will even cause shock to the local governor. The vibration of the country. She really couldn't understand how stupid her two brothers had to be to make such a decision. These two companies were the ones that Sheng Xuanhuai had repeatedly warned his descendants when he was still alive. Ah! ¡°Can¡¯t sell! "Miss Sheng Qi's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She didn't expect that her two brothers would be so stupid. Isn't this a famous way of causing trouble for the Sheng family? Don't look at Sheng Enyi's father-in-law, Sun Baoqi, who is now the general manager of Yanjing. , but no one can tell how powerful the cabinet of the Republic of China was, and the two brothers Sheng Enyi and Sheng Chongyi directly offended these two feudal officials. What should Sheng Enyi do? Happy: "Sell the shares of these two unprofitable companies, not to mention that the Japanese gave them a huge sum of two million, so a fool would not sell them. I don't believe it. There are still people in Shanghai looking for bad luck with the Japanese? " "Are you crazy? "Miss Sheng Qi was trembling angrily. What she feared most happened. Two ungrateful brothers completely ruined the Sheng family's business. Can you not make her angry? You must know that the old man died only a few years ago. Ah! In just a few years, the Sheng family will be defeated. If her two reckless brothers sell the shares of the Manufacturing Bureau and the China Merchants Bureau to the Chinese, even the compradors who follow the foreigners will still have room for recovery. But what if it was sold to the Japanese? Would that military and political official be willing to see that there were shares in a hostile country in his family's arsenal? But she also knew that her daughter was much stronger than her son in terms of opinions. "Xiao Qi" Mrs. Zhuang's body was already weak. When her daughter and son made such a noise, her face turned sallow and she was trembling and speechless. "Mrs????????? A family dinner broke up unhappy, Sheng Enyi and Sheng Zhongyi both looked worried. In fact, they also knew that selling the shares of these two companies would probably cause some pressure. But compared with the prices given by the Japanese, these are not problems. They were completely overwhelmed by this huge sum of money. When the Sheng family was divided, the two brothers only received more than one million yuan in property. Half of the Sheng family's assets were left in Yizhuang according to the old man's will. As a fund for the future development of the Sheng family's children. It can be seen how tempting this money is to them. Sheng Enyi felt very bored when he saw his mother finally waking up under the doctor's first aid. After sneaking away secretly, he started his usual life, playing cards. Maybe it was because my sister was angry with me. The poker game that night was not going well and I lost a house. However, the card player he was playing cards with happened to be his frequent card playing partner Lu Xiaojia. He glanced at the property deed with disdain, and then sneered: "Four Young Masters, I'm afraid you don't know, do you? This property has been frozen." "Frozen." , I don¡¯t know that?¡± Sheng Enyi said in surprise. "The obituary issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau this morning stated that all the properties of the Sheng family in the concession will be frozen. Maybe you haven't woken up at that time. Of course, reading newspapers, something that cultural people like to do, is completely unnecessary for the Fourth Young Master. "Lu Xiaojia glanced at Sheng Enyi with pity, what a good guy! Half of the ways that men get money in Shanghai rely on this donor. It's a pity that I won't be able to take care of it in the future. "Why?" Although Sheng Enyi felt a hint of fear, she was still struggling. Lu Xiaojia laughed: "Since your father Sheng Xuanhuai is suspected of embezzling state property, all the assets of the Sheng family need to be investigated. Fourth Young Master, no one has advised you these days. There are some things that cannot be crossed. If you cross it, you will be punished." It¡¯s hard to get back.¡± Lu Xiaojia was also secretly proud and embezzled state property. This crime is more novel than the crime of corruption, but it seems to be a very serious crime that cannot be offset without beheading. Just like after the honeymoon period between the Kuomintang and Yuan Shikai passed, Mr. Sun Da, who had lost the battle, angrily denounced Yuan Shikai in the newspaper for his crimes as a thief. "Beheading is not enough to enforce law and order." "Beheading is not enough to enforce the law." (To be continued.)
