troublemaker

Chapter [-] What to do next?

Zhao Chuxi had already paid attention to Pan Xiaoxiao's abnormal behavior today, so when Pan Xiaoxiao said this, Zhao Chuxi vaguely knew what the girl wanted to ask, did she know something?

Looking back at Qi Si and Ye Xin who had just entered the bathroom, Zhao Chuxi laughed and said, "Is there anything you want to ask me? Could it be that you are in a relationship? Let me check it out for you?"

Pan Xiaoxiao continued to stare at Zhao Chuxi and said, "Brother-in-law, don't change the subject. Be serious. Whatever I ask you, just say what you say. If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell my cousin about you and that Sichuan University girl. Don't worry." Just deny it, and don’t ask me how I know.”

Zhao Chuxi was stunned for half a second. He didn't expect that Pan Xiaoxiao knew about his relationship with Pei Qing, and Pei Qing was the only girl in Sichuan University, but threatening him made Zhao Chuxi very unhappy. Zhao Chuxi said angrily, "You Are you threatening me?"

Pan Xiaoxiao's face was a little anxious. She felt that Zhao Chuxi was angry, so she begged, "Brother-in-law, I'm not threatening you. I really have something to ask you. Please, tell me quickly."

After Pan Xiaoxiao put down his posture, Zhao Chuxi calmly said, "Speak up, what's the matter, I'll tell you if I know it, and I can't help it if I don't know."

"What happened between you and my dad? You came to our house that night. What did you two talk about in the study? Why has my dad been unable to eat or sleep since then? He has obviously aged several years. , Even the white hair on the head has become more, don’t tell me it’s okay, he’s like this, you say it’s okay, who can believe it? Brother-in-law, my mother and I are very worried about my father. We asked him what’s wrong, and he didn’t Say, I know you must know, just tell us, don't worry us anymore." Pan Xiaoxiao's eyes were red as she spoke, and it is true that Pan Yuegang's state during this time has made her and her mother Gu Xiao very worried. He asked his father what happened, but his father didn't say anything. Pan Xiaoxiao just came to Zhao Chuxi to try his luck. Who knew that Zhao Chuxi had not been in Chengdu for the past half month, and no one knew where he had gone. This happened to happen today.

Pan Xiaoxiao's words made Zhao Chuxi sure that this girl didn't know what was going on, she was just worried, but Zhao Chuxi couldn't tell him what happened, so he could only comfort him, "Xiaoxiao, there are some things my brother-in-law can't tell you, but since you asked, Brother-in-law can guarantee that no matter what happens, uncle will be fine."

"Brother-in-law, tell me, I don't know, I feel very uneasy," Pan Xiaoxiao said stubbornly.

Zhao Chuxi shook his head and said, "This is a matter between adults, you can't help."

"Brother-in-law, I'm not a child anymore. I'm already in college, so I can help." Pan Xiaoxiao ignored Zhao Chuxi and continued to ask.

Zhao Chuxi frowned and said, "Listen to brother-in-law, go to school well, eat and drink as much as you want, drink as much as you want, play as much as you want, you can't help with these things, if you let you know, it may put your father in danger, everything My brother-in-law has already arranged things, your father will have nothing to do, I believe my brother-in-law can handle it well, and don’t let your cousin know about this matter, she can’t be affected by her emotions now that she’s pregnant.”

"Brother-in-law, can you really tell me?" Pan Xiaoxiao asked aggrievedly with a glimmer of hope.

Zhao Chuxi sighed bitterly, "Brother-in-law is doing it for your own good. I'll tell you when things are almost the same. At least I can't let you know now. If you want your father to be safe, just listen to me."

"Okay, I promise you. You have to promise me that my father is safe, or I will hate you." Seeing that Zhao Chuxi also had difficulties, Pan Xiaoxiao finally had to grit his teeth and say.

Zhao Chuxi kept paying attention to the direction of the bathroom, for fear that Qi Si and Ye Xin would come back, so when they walked over, Zhao Chuxi quickly changed the subject and made a harmless joke. Qi Si was very sensitive and felt that Pan Xiaoxiao had tears in his eyes, so he Asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoxiao?"

Zhao Chuxi quickly said, "It's okay, I was telling her a joke, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurts."

After dinner, Zhao Chuxi took Qi Si back to Muma Mountain, and Pan Xiaoxiao drove Ye Xin home. Zhao Chuxi finally got rid of this girl. He was afraid that she would break down emotionally. If Qi Si knew about it, it would be a big problem .

The piano in the lobby of Villa No. [-] was moved to the third floor. During this time, Qi Si would play the piano every day, saying that it was to cultivate the musical cells of the children in the future. He checked whether it was a boy or a girl, but Zhao Chuxi never agreed. Zhao Chuxi felt that it was mysterious because he didn't favor boys over girls. Both boys and girls would like it very much, so he would only know when he came that day. It is the most perfect, because that is the gift given to him by God.

The melodious sound of the piano floated in Villa No. [-], alleviating Zhao Chuxi's fatigue from running around for half a month. In the past half month, apart from worrying about many things, the most important thing was to keep socializing and drinking every day. Seeing all kinds of people of all ages and levels talking nonsense, Zhao Chuxi was a little tired, but when he saw Qi Si and her swollen belly tonight, Zhao Chuxi suddenly felt full of strength , He lives not only to make himself live better, but also to make everyone around him live better, especially his wife and children. This is a responsibility that a man shoulders.

Maybe it was too tired, Zhao Chuxi fell asleep after listening to it, and Qi Si didn't realize that Zhao Chuxi was asleep until after playing another piece. She went back to the bedroom and covered Zhao Chuxi with a thin blanket, and then sat down. Reading quietly next to Zhao Chuxi, with Zhao Chuxi beside him, the world is full of colors.

In the old house of Qu's family in Deyang, northern Sichuan, the fifth master welcomed a special visitor tonight, that is, Xu Shouwang, Tan Hongru's confidant military advisor. For Xu Shouwang's sudden arrival, the fifth master was somewhat surprised, after all, there was no reconciliation between the two sides.The fifth master is no stranger to Xu Shouwang. Xu Shouwang was not very good in the early days. He was a middle school teacher who liked history and philosophy. It was Tan Hongru who discovered Xu Shouwang and made him famous in Sichuan and Chongqing.Fifth Lord liked the maturity and stability of this middle-aged man, as well as his layout and sense of proportion in major matters, and he could control everything, but it was precisely because Tan Hongru had such a confidant that he ended up in trouble today.

If it was in the past, the fifth master would happily entertain Xu Shouwang, but today he doesn't have a good impression of Xu Shouwang. He knows that Tan Hongru dares to attack him, and Xu Shouwang must be behind the scenes.

The fifth master drank tea in the tea room on the second floor. In the tea room, there was light but very comfortable aloes burning. Yao Muren stood guard outside the tea room. Sometimes he admired these loyal servants and family servants who were like ancient diners and servants. They have remained the same for decades. It's hard for an ordinary person to spend his life here guarding a master all day long.

Xu Shouwang came to the outside of the tea room alone, but was stopped by Yao Mugen. He looked at the fifth master who was wearing reading glasses to read Nan Huaijin's "Miscellaneous Comments on the Book of Changes".

The fifth master was unmoved, but continued to drink tea and read the book without raising his head, let alone looking at Xu Shouwang. Xu Shouwang knew that the fifth master was angry, and he was forced to this point by Tan Hongru. This circle belongs to him, and Tan Hongru is just a successor, and the successor who is now in power doesn't take him seriously as the founder, who can bear it.

Xu Shouwang was not in a hurry, he wanted to see Fifth Master at least sincerely, so he stood at the door and waited, waited and waited, one cup of tea, two cups of tea, one stick of incense and two sticks of incense. , until an hour later, Fifth Master finally put down the book he had read for most of the time and said, "Come in."

After the fifth master spoke, Yao Muren signaled Xu Shouwang to go in, but he was not very polite to Xu Shouwang, Xu Shouwang had been standing at the door, not sitting at all, and his legs were a little numb at this moment.

After Xu Shouwang came in, he sat directly opposite Fifth Master. Seeing that there was still a cup of tea on the table, he picked it up and drank it without thinking about it. It was regarded as quenching his thirst.

"Watcher, it seems that you should be by Hongru's side now, why come to see me?" Fifth Master asked in a low and weak voice, his eyes were a little sad and angry, after all, the good circle has become what it is now, Who would?This is all his hard work.

Tonight when Xu Shouwang came to see Fifth Master, Tan Hongru didn't know that he came here without permission. He couldn't watch Tan Hongru be obsessed, so he could only take the initiative. Xu Shouwang said with emotion, "Fifth Master, you know everything outside. right?"

"It's such a big mess, how can I not know? Although you have cut off all the ways for me to communicate with the outside world, someone will tell me anyway." Fifth Master said with a long sigh, not very interested.

Xu Shouwang suddenly got up and bowed to the fifth master, "I apologize to you first on Hongru's behalf. I have let you down. He didn't do a good job. He didn't keep the family business that you worked so hard for."

Wu Ye clenched his fists tightly, and he could see the veins on the back of his hand full of age spots bulging. He kept suppressing the anger in his heart, but he still said with restraint, "These things have nothing to do with me. I'm just an old man now." It’s just an old thing waiting to die, those things are no longer mine, if he wants to lose, let him go.”

Xu Shouwang bent over and didn't get up. Today he had to make a full gesture, not for anyone, not for himself, not for Tan Hongru, just for the prosperity of this circle, so he said, "Fifth Master, don't say that, this circle This is yours and always will be yours"

"Put your mother's shit on!" Hearing Xu Shouwang's hypocritical words, Fifth Master cursed angrily. It can be seen how angry he is. It would be a helpless move to cooperate with Zhao Chuxi. If Tan Hongru hadn't forced him to This step, he won't do it either.

"Which circle or bastard have you ever seen put under house arrest the old thing who has worked hard for this circle all his life? You tell me this now, really deceive me as a fool? His brother is an ungrateful bastard, without me he can Today, let's see how he treats me." Fifth master continued to get angry, but he still couldn't hold back.

Xu Shouwang was not only not angry when he was scolded by the fifth master, but was very happy. At least he knew that the fifth master still had this circle in his heart, not what he said, and this circle had nothing to do with him.

"Fifth Master, if you were put in this position, what would you do? Didn't you choose him as your successor because you thought he was ruthless?" Xu Shouwang straightened up and said without giving in.

Knowing that Xu Shouwang would say this, Fifth Lord replied, "I appreciate his skill in doing things, but sometimes people have a bottom line, at least they must not forget their roots. Who am I, I am his bole, what will be the end of this kind of person , either ruined his reputation, or ruined his family."

"Fifth Master, in his position, he has to do that. You should also think about yourself. Uncle Li's matter has already been settled. Not everyone can reverse the case. Hongru doesn't have the energy that reaches the sky. He can keep himself. Not bad, but Aunt Jian had an accident at that time, it was an opportunity in this circle, you asked him to find a way to save Uncle Li, didn't you ask him to back off? You have your ideas, he has his ideas, and he is also for this circle, so there is no other way to do this, you should be clear," Xu Shouwang argued.

Fifth Master sneered, "You came here today to tell me these things? Xu Shouwang, you are not a good person, don't think I don't know, don't you have your part in these things?"

"You can say whatever you want, but now, fifth master, I want you to think about this circle, do you really want to see this circle destroyed?" Xu Shouwang said heartbroken.

Fifth Lord laughed and said, "You made me a dying old thing, what can I do?"

"Fifth Master, this circle has reached the most critical time. If Hongru is defeated, everything in this circle will be gone. You know that everyone listens to you. Only when we are united can we have a chance to win, otherwise we can only lose to Zhao Chuxi And Tan Hongru, so, fifth master, I hope you can reconcile with Hongru and fully support him," Xu Shouwang said sincerely.

"You let me bow my head to him and keep watch. Do you know what a person lives for a lifetime? To live is to breathe. You know why I walked on this road. It is because I am poor and looked down upon by others. I am old and old. You asked me to bow my head to him, Xu Shouwang, I can't do it." Fifth Lord stood up abruptly, and said loudly, this was the last strength of a dying man.

Xu Shouwang didn't expect Fifth Master to be so tough and stubborn. Knowing that it was useless to say what he said, and knowing that it seemed to be for nothing this time, he could only sigh and say, "Fifth Master, I have said everything that needs to be said, whether it is You are still Hongru, in fact, it is all for this circle, but the way of doing it is different. I don’t want to persuade you anymore. If you still want to change this circle, you should think about it carefully. I will wait for your news.”

After saying this, Xu Shouwang left with a helpless sigh, leaving Fifth Master with complicated eyes behind.It took a long time for Fifth Master to sit down. What will he do next? Everything is going on as planned, but is it really going to be done?

(The plot will speed up in the future, and the Sichuan chapter will also enter the final stage, and then I will go back to Xi'an, I hope everyone will continue to support... Oh, yes, don’t forget to vote monthly)
