Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 1076 Incense
Zhao Li was a little puzzled, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The patriarch remained silent. If he wanted to resolve this matter safely, the safest way was to reconcile!
Of course, at the very beginning, he was sure of persuading Zhao Dong.

After all, if things get serious, the final result is likely to be a loss for both sides!
There are certain costs that adults can bear, but for a little girl, that may be fatal!
The negotiation with Zhao Dong just now was a reminder on the one hand, and a warning on the other, telling Zhao Dong not to make fun of Xue Jiaqi's future!

In the end, it didn't come to fruition, the last way out was cut off by his daughter at the root, there was no room for relaxation, and he was also sent to a desperate situation!

In anger, the patriarch raised his hand to hit him, but he raised his palm in the air and then slowly lowered it, "From now on, don't meddle in this matter, do you hear me?"

Zhao Li nodded blankly, watching her father leave.

……

Outside the house, the patriarch hesitated for a moment, but still called Zhao Dong.

The phone was connected, and neither of them spoke first.

In the end, the patriarch couldn't bear the pressure, "Xiaodong, things have developed to this point, and I didn't expect it at the beginning."

"You have to know, I don't want this matter to become a big one. No matter who wins or loses, our Zhao family will lose!"

"Well, if you trust me, leave this matter to me to deal with the aftermath!"

"The previous promise remains unchanged. I can make the decision on Jiaqi's compensation, at least 100 million!"

"If the mine can't get it out, I'll make up for it myself!"

"In addition, you give me three months, and I promise to shut down the mine!"

"In short, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Zhao Dong was silent for a moment, then said with a sneer, "Slap me and give me a sweet date, do you really think I, Zhao Dong, don't know how to count?"

The patriarch tried to mediate, "Xiaodong, what else do you want?"

Zhao Dong said calmly, "Isn't there going to be a clan meeting soon? Let's have a face-to-face meeting."

The patriarch heard something different, and hurriedly told him, "Xiaodong, once some matters are put on the table, there is really no room for relaxation!"

Zhao Dong took a deep breath, "Just 10 minutes ago, you ruined a girl's future and future with your own hands, and now you are telling me to relax?"

"I let you be the ones with good feelings, so Jiaqi deserves to be bullied by you?"

The patriarch was annoyed, "I really didn't know about this..."

Zhao Dong interrupted, "Patriarch, needless to say, we are all adults, since we have done something wrong, we should pay the price, are you right?"

The patriarch was silent for a moment, and his tone changed accordingly, "You really think about it, you must fall out with the Zhao family?"

Zhao Dong sneered, "It's not that I wanted to fall out, it was you who forced me to!"

"Besides, you can't represent the Zhao family!"

The patriarch also sneered, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the ancestral hall!"

……

Soon, people gathered in the ancestral hall.

Because it is the new daughter-in-law of the Zhao family entering the genealogy, according to the traditions of the hometown, there are some procedures and customs to be followed.

In fact, it stands to reason that there is no need for such a big show.

But Zhao Dong's branch has a high seniority in the Zhao family, plus Zhao Dong has a successful career, there are many people who come to see the excitement, to cheer, to see the bride, and there are many onlookers.

In the Zhao family ancestral hall, there are quite a few people present, among them there are not many people from the older generation, they are all from the younger generation of the clan.

At ten o'clock sharp, Zhao Dong and Sophie came together in formal attire, followed by the others.

The patriarch said a few words, and there was nothing unusual in the whole process!

The rest of the ceremony is presided over by an elder in the clan who is familiar with the process.

The process is not cumbersome, and there are people leading the whole process, registering, burning incense, prostrating...

My aunt didn't speak the whole time, but Mother Zhao behaved naturally, chatting with the elders of the clan from time to time.

The matter of Xue Jiaqi has long been known to everyone in Guashan Town, no matter whether it is true or not, this matter is not glorious.

Although no one mentioned it, everyone looked at Zhao Dong and the others with a bit of weirdness and gloating.

Zhao Li got her father's advice and didn't come near.

Although standing behind the others, his face was full of complacency, as if Zhao Dong's face was stepped on the ground, it was indescribably happy!

After a set of procedures, the ceremony ended soon.

The patriarch came up to exhort a few words, all of them were polite words, the general idea was to let Zhao Dong develop well, and strive to make the Zhao family's lintel flourish.

In addition, the patriarch gave some advice to Sophie, asking her to take care of her husband, teach her children, and spread branches and leaves for the Zhao family.

Zhao Dong and Sophie responded calmly, nothing out of the ordinary, and everything followed the rules.

Until the end of the ceremony, there was no disturbance at all!
The insiders looked at each other, and Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

For the rest of the time, everyone will gather together for another lunch, and the return trip will be in the afternoon, so there shouldn't be any troubles!
Zhao Li watched the whole process, the complacent expression on her face was almost overflowing.

She attributed all the silence in Zhao Dong's business to herself!

If she hadn't used the previous method to suppress Zhao Dong, how could today's ceremony be so smooth?
The more Zhao Li thought about it, the more complacent she became, and she couldn't help but mocked: "If you don't give you a little bit of trouble, you won't have a long memory!"

Compared with the relaxation of other people, the patriarch's expression is more dignified!

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, because the chat with Zhao Dong on the phone was not pleasant, but today's ceremony process was too smooth!
Of course, the patriarch is not looking forward to an accident, it is best if the matter can be resolved peacefully!
Even if Zhao Dong changed his mind temporarily, his previous promise would definitely keep his promise!
After all the procedures were completed, the patriarch stepped forward and said with a pun: "Xiaodong, blood is thicker than water, and our clan is in harmony. How good do you think this is?"

"No matter how far you walk outside, only when you have roots under your feet can you feel at ease in your heart, don't you think so?"

"No matter how well you develop, Ye Luo still has to return to his roots, and the family relationship cannot be broken!"

"I believe you can understand this truth!"

"Let's go, let's have a good two cups today, and I will personally practice it for you!"

"At the same time, I also wish you a bright future as a young couple!"

Zhao Dong nodded, "The patriarch is right. As long as the root is there, the incense will be there. If one prospers, one will prosper, and one will lose. I still understand this truth!"

"Of course, I, Zhao Dong, cannot achieve what I am today without the support of all my fellow villagers."

"Today, most of the clansmen are here, and I, Zhao Dong, have something to say here!"

The patriarch stepped forward to stop him, "Xiaodong, what are you talking about, let's talk at the wine table."

"This is an ancestral hall, not suitable for small talk!"

Zhao Dong's face gradually became serious, "It's not just chatting, what I want to talk about is business!"

The patriarch narrowed his eyes, "Do you have to say it here?"

Zhao Donglang said: "Of course!"

As Zhao Dong's voice fell, the scene gradually quieted down.

A gloomy look flashed in Zhao Li's eyes, and she cursed in a low voice, "Bah, I don't know how to flatter you!"

Huang Zhiqiang stood behind the people and winked at the door!
There were many figures, and soon someone sealed the gate of the ancestral hall firmly!
