Chapter 1289 Revisiting old matters

Qiao Yuanjiang felt a little unhappy, so he sat down on the single sofa and smoked silently.

"Uncle Qiao asked you to come over, right?"

Qiao Yuanjiang looked up at Wang Zhengdao who was still standing in front of him, and he became more and more upset. I was sitting and you were standing, and you didn't even call me by my name. Do you think you are interrogating a prisoner? Qiao Yuanjiang said, "I haven't contacted the old man in the past two days."

He responded to Wang Zhengdao's question in a tactful way. I came here on my own, not on the old man's orders. Qiao Yuanjiang obviously noticed that Wang Zhengdao's attitude was a little strange, and he even regretted coming here.

Wang Zhengdao looked down at Qiao Yuanjiang. His sinister expression made Qiao Yuanjiang feel a chill. There was not a trace of kindness in the look Wang Zhengdao gave him.

Qiao Yuanjiang was a little confused. Wang Jiancheng's car accident had nothing to do with him. You, Wang Zhengdao, can't be angry with me because of your son's tragedy, right? Qiao Yuanjiang coughed and said, "Zhengdao, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first. I have a meeting tomorrow and I have to rush back to Nanjiang tonight."

"Don't worry, I have something else to discuss with you."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "What is it? I will do my best to help as long as I can."

Wang Zhengdao took a deep puff of his cigarette and took two steps forward: "You also know about my son's situation."

Qiao Yuanjiang said, "Zhengdao, I know you feel bad, but Jiancheng's survival is a blessing in disguise. Don't worry too much. Rulong's previous car accident was even more serious than his, but he is still alive and well now."

Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "It's different. Qiao Rulong's case was an accident, but my son was set up."

Qiao Yuanjiang pretended to be concerned and asked, "Have you found the murderer? I'll go back and urge them to solve the case as soon as possible."

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhengdao's lips. Although he didn't say anything, his smile revealed his true thoughts.

Qiao Yuanjiang's face turned red. He realized that Wang Zhengdao was mocking him. What he said was just a polite remark. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that his influence in the province was minimal.

Wang Zhengdao lowered his voice and said, "There have been many rumors that are not good for our Wang family recently. Given the relationship between our two families, the Qiao family shouldn't sit idly by, right?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Of course not, Zhengdao, what do you want me to do for you?" He has not been in the system for so many years in vain. Wang Zhengdao always talks about the Qiao family. Qiao Yuanjiang emphasized himself, intending to tell Wang Zhengdao that I can help you, but the Qiao family may not.

"what can you do?"

Qiao Yuanjiang was angered by Wang Zhengdao's straightforward question: "In that case, I can only wish you the best."

"In fact, you can still do something. There are many rumors outside now, saying that your Qiao family dislikes my son and tore up the engagement. How many people are secretly laughing at our Wang family behind our backs. I have an idea. Especially at a time like this, our two families need to unite more. How about letting Jiancheng and Ruxue get engaged? After all, they have an engagement first, and they are both at the age to get married."

  Qiao Yuanjiang was shocked by Wang Zhengdao's proposal. He widened his eyes. Wang Zhengdao, Wang Zhengdao, what are you thinking? Don't you know what a bad boy your son is now? He's not even a man, but he wants to get engaged to my niece?

Qiao Yuanjiang thought that Wang Zhengdao must have been stimulated and his mind was a little abnormal. He smiled and said, "Nowadays, people value freedom of love. We should not interfere in the affairs of young people. In fact, you can wait until Jiancheng recovers from his injury before talking to him."

Qiao Yuanjiang had already given Wang Zhengdao enough face by not refusing immediately.

Wang Zhengdao shook his head and said, "I am a superstitious person. I always think that there is some truth in the idea of ​​bringing good luck. Maybe if they get engaged, Jiancheng's situation will improve."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Zhengdao, you can't just think about yourself. We all know what Jiancheng's situation is. How can you..."

Wang Zhengdao suddenly grabbed Qiao Yuanjiang's neck and roared like an angry lion: "What happened to my son? The reason why my son is like this is because of you, the Qiao family!"

Qiao Yuanjiang grabbed Wang Zhengdao's wrist, but the other party's grip became tighter and tighter. Qiao Yuanjiang thought that Wang Zhengdao wanted to kill him and strangle him to death, but Wang Zhengdao suddenly let go of his hand.

Qiao Yuanjiang covered his throat and coughed violently. He pointed at Wang Zhengdao angrily and said, "Wang Zhengdao, are you crazy? What does your son's murder have to do with our family? Cough, lunatic, what engagement? You took a joke from decades ago seriously? Don't bother me again." He stood up and tried to rush out.

When he arrived at the door, he heard Wang Zhengdao say coldly, "How did Mei Xiqing die?"

Qiao Yuanjiang's feet froze in place, and his hand on the door handle slowly retracted.

"Who reported Qiao Yuanshan again?"

Qiao Yuanjiang turned around slowly, staring at Wang Zhengdao with his bloodshot eyes.

"Do you really want to kill someone to silence him? Unfortunately, you can't do it." Wang Zhengdao sat on the sofa and took out a cigarette and lit it. At this moment, he was extremely calm, but in Qiao Yuanjiang's eyes, his calmness was extremely cruel and cold-blooded.

Wang Zhengdao exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, "After much thought, I realized that there is only one person who harmed my son, and that is Qiao Yuanshan."

"Impossible!" Qiao Yuanjiang yelled, his mind was completely confused.

"I know him and he knows me. People like him won't die so easily. If he is alive, do you think he will let you go?" When Wang Zhengdao said this, the fear in his heart was growing wildly.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "He has been missing for so many years. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago. He would not have waited until now." "If Jiancheng and Xiaoxue can be together, it will be a good thing for both of our families."

Qiao Yuanjiang stared at Wang Zhengdao, he had already seen through Wang Zhengdao's true intention. Wang Zhengdao insisted that Qiao Yuanshan had killed his son, and his purpose in facilitating this marriage was to ruin Mei Ruxue's life and to take revenge on Qiao Yuanshan, the imaginary enemy. If Qiao Yuanshan was alive, he would definitely not sit idly by and might even take the initiative to show up to stop this from happening. He wanted to use marriage to stimulate Qiao Yuanshan, who might be lurking.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Xiaoxue won't agree."

Wang Zhengdao flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "We all have one thing in common. We are willing to sacrifice our personal happiness for the family. Damn the overall situation. Whether Xiaoxue agrees or not depends on how you do it. If she realizes that improper handling of this matter may ruin your family and ruin the reputation of you and your father, then she should make the sacrifice."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "These young people are innocent."

Wang Zhengdao said coldly: "As a member of the family, no one can escape responsibility." He stretched out his hand to Qiao Yuanjiang again. Qiao Yuanjiang took a step back out of fear, but still could not avoid it. Wang Zhengdao's right hand fell on his left shoulder. Although he did not exert any force, it made Qiao Yuanjiang feel an unbearable pressure.

"You'll try your best, right?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Xiaoxue won't agree to that."

Wang Zhengdao laughed and said, "Everything depends on human effort!" He handed Qiao Yuanjiang a file bag and said, "Give these things to her, she should be obedient."

Mei Ruxue originally wanted to visit her uncle, but Qiao Yuanjiang insisted on going to her home in Dongzhou, saying that he was asked by his grandfather to find out about her current living environment.

When Mei Ruxue hurried back home, Qiao Yuanjiang was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing Mei Ruxue's car appear, Qiao Yuanjiang got out of the car and asked the driver to wait for him outside.

Mei Ruxue expressed her apologies and invited her uncle into the house.

Qiao Yuanjiang's smile seemed a little stiff, which might be related to the sudden drop in temperature in Dongzhou.

After asking for Qiao Yuanjiang's opinion, Mei Ruxue made him a cup of black coffee.

Qiao Yuanjiang held the hot coffee in his hand, and the taste in his heart was more bitter than black coffee. He didn't know how to start the topic, and there was a fierce struggle in his heart.

Mei Ruxue asked, "Uncle, are you here specifically to visit Jiancheng?"

Qiao Yuanjiang nodded: "Your grandfather asked me to come here. He wanted to come in person, but he hasn't been feeling well recently."

"What's wrong with grandpa?" Mei Ruxue asked with concern.

"I caught a bit of a cold, a bit of a flu, but I'm getting better now."

"He is old and cannot neglect his health. Minor illnesses may turn into serious ones if not dealt with in time." Mei Ruxue was about to call her grandfather and ask about his condition.

Qiao Yuanjiang took a sip of black coffee, cleared his throat and said, "Xiaoxue, I talked to Wang Zhengdao for a while today, and he made a request to me."

Mei Ruxue thought to herself, how could Wang Zhengdao ask you for help? Although she respected her uncle very much, she also knew that Qiao Yuanjiang had no real power at all and her grandfather had long given up hope in him.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "It has something to do with you."

Mei Ruxue still took her uncle's feelings into consideration and said with a smile: "As long as it does not violate the organization's discipline, it's fine."

Qiao Yuanjiang put down his coffee cup: "It's not about work."

Mei Ruxue was slightly startled. If it wasn't about work, then why did Wang Zhengdao mention her? She felt something was wrong.

Qiao Yuanjiang said, "Xiaoxue, he brought up the old matter again, hoping that we can reconsider your marriage with Jiancheng."

Mei Ruxue's beautiful eyes opened wide, she felt humiliated. The two families had already discussed the so-called child marriage, and both she and Wang Jiancheng had let it go. Why did Wang Zhengdao bring it up again?

  My uncle is really confused. He should have rejected Wang Zhengdao's idea as soon as he proposed it. He actually came to me and told me such a ridiculous thing. Did he think I would agree?

Mei Ruxue said, "There's nothing to consider. I don't have that kind of feeling towards Wang Jiancheng, and he feels the same way towards me. We've already made it clear that we won't mention any engagement anymore."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "But Jiancheng is in this state now, and he needs help the most. After all, you and he are engaged..."

"Uncle, what do you mean?" Mei Ruxue was a little angry. Why was Qiao Yuanjiang's mind so confused? Could he still tell who his family members were?
