The tea was slightly cold, and Su Qiao stood up calmly.

She picked up the first will, verified Su Jingshan's private seal and his unique signature, and said softly: "Grandpa has a butler named Wu Liang, who has been with him for decades."

Wu Liang's name is homophonic to "unscrupulous", but his name does not live up to his name.

He is actually very conscientious.

Su Jingshan was born in a grassroots family. He found a wife with a rich family background and gave birth to his eldest son and second son. His first wife was weak and sick and died earlier. Su Jingshan felt that the family could not live without women. Two years later, he married a fair-skinned woman.

The beautiful wife is Su Qiao’s grandmother.

From then on, Su Jingshan hired a housekeeper. In the opinion of Housekeeper Wu, Su Qiao's grandma was a good employer - she abided by the rules, was knowledgeable and sensible, and was extremely kind to others.

Based on this good impression alone, Wu Liang helped Su Qiao's father.

One afternoon, while he was serving tea and water to Su Jingshan, he saw the old man writing a will. The name of his youngest son was marked on the will. Wu Liang only dared to glance at it and immediately lowered his eyes.

He felt that this will could ease the relationship between father and son, so he reported it to the parties involved.

So when Lu Chen opened the second bag, Su Qiao wasn't too surprised. She said meaningfully: "Butler Wu helped my dad. You should have known about it a long time ago. I can guess something about the second will."

perhaps."

Lu Chen laid the document flat and said in a very friendly manner: "You are smart since you were a child. You can guess it, I'm not surprised."

Su Qiao sneered but didn't speak.

The content of the second will was more complex.

It states that all of Su Jingshan's shares will be transferred to his younger son's name, provided that his younger son is willing to merge his company into the Su Group, not participate in the group's major decisions, and hire Su Zhan

as general manager.

Su Qiao read it word for word and clenched her fists, but her fingers had no strength.

Too cruel.

She couldn't help but curse.

Lu Chen was pressed for time and made it clear: "My current company, to put it bluntly, relies on international trade. Xiao Qiao, your father is also involved. He is not someone else, he is your good father."

Lu Chen couldn't pronounce the word "smuggling", he could only refer to it as "international trade".

The reason why he was so calm and confident was because he knew that Su Qiao's father was also involved in smuggling.

Or, to be more precise, her father took the main blame.

Su Qiao knew this very well - if the art company were to be investigated, most of the evidence would point to his father. Not only would their family be unable to save their company, but they would also have to watch their father go to jail. And all of this

The beginning of it came from a phone call from my grandfather during the Spring Festival of a certain year.

At that time, Hongsheng Group invested in the steel industry, but the market was sluggish and it suffered a large operating loss.

Grandpa called Dad. He first had a family conversation and talked about Su Qiao, Su Qiao's grandmother, and his own guilt. He must have prepared the draft a long time ago and polished it many times, plus the identity of his biological father.

Finally, Su Qiao's father was impressed.

After all, he didn't make any excessive demands, he just wanted to seek cooperation.

You can't make too many enemies in the business world, you will get more help when you are in good ways, and you will get less help when you are unjust, work together for a win-win situation, and be based on integrity - this is what Su Qiao's father taught her.

Then, my father fell into a pit himself.

He clearly knew the truth that "good people will be bullied, and good horses will be ridden by others", and he also implemented the principle of "fighting poison with poison and complaining with hatred", but he never thought that his biological father would be so cruel to him.

——That cooperation was an out-and-out trap.

When he found out, it was already too late.

Because the art company responsible for smuggling was affiliated with Su Zhan, Su Qiao's grandfather passed all the charges onto Su Qiao's father through the false relationship of cooperation in order to relieve Su Zhan's worries.

And Su Jingshan's second will was a threat to his youngest son.

Taking a closer look, Su Jingshan didn't even want to leave a penny to Su Qiao. He almost tried every means to force his youngest son to hand over his company.

Such a vigorous and resolute manner made Lu Chen filled with emotion: "Xiao Qiao, your father is an outstanding businessman, but he also has weaknesses. When he agreed to cooperate with Su Jingshan, it was impossible that he didn't even know how to do it - he failed

Defeat, I really thought that when Su Jingshan gets old, he will worry about his son and miss his granddaughter."

"You are wrong. You are not from our family." Su Qiao knocked on the table and stated the facts to him. "You don't know that our family is in a difficult situation. Dad wants to ease the situation. After he signed the contract, he

You have to pay for yourself."

She paused for a second and then said: "My parents are very worried about me when I go abroad. They transfer the company's property and hire lawyers and private investigators..."

Lu Chen shook his head and couldn't help but laugh: "Difficult! That's a dead end."

The words have come to this point and will end at this point.

When Lu Chen chatted with his son, he liked to fish in troubled waters and play emotional cards. But when he talked to Su Qiao, he changed his expression and put Su Qiao on an equal footing, the opposite of reality.

He took the initiative to back down and said: "There is a third document here. It is not a formal will. It tells us that the international trade company should be handed over to Su Zhan."

Su Qiao smiled and said, "Are you willing to do so?"

Lu Chenxu and Wei Snake: "I am a nobody, my thoughts are not that important."

He stood leisurely and contentedly, just in time to look at Su Qiao: "I will give you these two wills, and you will be able to take some initiative. From now on, it is also our job to do you a few small favors."

Su Qiao's face showed no expression, but her heart was filled with waves.

Lu Chen continued: "I heard from Lu Mingyuan that Gu Ningcheng came to see me for something. Do you want to know what Gu Ningcheng has on his hands? I can't tell you these inside stories, Xiao Qiao."

Su Qiao got straight to the point: "What do you want me to exchange for you?"

She showed some chips: "If that international trading company is exposed, my father can't run away, and you can't run away either. I have been preparing for several years in order to persuade you."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "We both won't lose if we can go to jail together with your father. I actually voluntarily invest and I can still make him miserable. Isn't it interesting?"

Funny ass.

Su Qiao cursed in her heart.

She felt that Lu Chen and his son were two extremes. One was extremely cunning, and the other was extremely straightforward.

Lu Chen seemed to understand her thoughts and immediately mentioned his son: "Lu Mingyuan is not willing to inherit my business. He wants to live an... ordinary life. If you drag him into this muddy water, he will not be able to succeed."

Have you ever thought that he is an artistic kid?"

Su Qiao raised her eyes and retorted: "Why do you think that an artistic person can't adapt to a complicated life? There are all kinds of living things, and you should have seen more examples than me, Assistant Lu."

Lu Chen clasped his hands together.

He sat down again.

It's been half a year, and no one has called him "Assistant Lu" anymore. It brought back some memories for him.

"Your father is a businessman," Lu Chen said implicitly, "If you suffer a loss, you have to make up for it."

This sentence is difficult to understand, but Su Qiao quickly understood it.

What Lu Chen meant was that Su Jingshan's death might be related to her father.

Having been harmed so much, can't you become angry and seek revenge?!

Su Qiao tried his best to excuse himself: "The grievances of the previous generation will be entangled in this generation... I think, Assistant Lu, you are not a narrow-minded person and would not agree with this view, right?"

Lu Chen answered the question: "You and Lu Mingyuan have only been together for a few months, and they have not been separated. He has lived alone for seventeen years. Xiao Qiao, listen to your uncle's advice. You cannot have much influence on him. Sometimes, you can’t overestimate yourself.”

He suddenly stood up, put the will in the drawer, and said: "Why did you replace Assistant Shen? I didn't see her today. That's right, Xiao Qiao, with your conditions, no assistant can be found, and no young man can be found." Arrive?"

Lu Chen's attitude was obvious.

He was forcing Su Qiao and Lu Mingyuan to break up - using Su Jingshan's will, Gu Ningcheng's secret, and Lu Chen's push to repay the situation.

The conditions are too generous.

Lu Chen was not just trying to save his son.

By doing this, he can firstly take away the responsibility, and secondly, he can retreat to the second line and watch the fight. Su Qiao is the one at the front, and she bears the greatest risk.

Lu Chen was moved by her and understood: "The day you came to Venice, I asked Yuan Teng to pick you up. When we got ashore, he took a pistol and pointed it at Lu Mingyuan's neck. Think about it carefully. , if he is not mine, the grass on Lu Mingyuan’s grave will be green. How can my son return to China with you if he is so shallow?"

He also said: "You know better than me who Su Zhan is, and the people under him are not as weak as Yuan Teng. If you really like Mingyuan, you should consider him. What's more, Xiao Qiao, Isn't your future plus your parents worth a Lu Mingyuan?"

Is your future plus your parents no match for Lu Mingyuan?

His voice was gentle, but his words were heartbreaking.

While Lu Chen was talking, Lu Mingyuan found the door.

He stayed in bed for a while in the morning, and when he got up around eight o'clock, Su Qiao was gone.

Lu Mingyuan didn't eat breakfast.

He analyzed the current situation, associated Gu Ningcheng's phone number, and concluded that Su Qiao had met his father. He then thought about the location, which was probably in the hidden house.

Reality verified his guess.

Lu Mingyuan met He Anbai at the door of the study. He said hello to He Anbai, and then stood in the corridor and admired the murals along the way.

He wondered if he and Su Qiao could do the same thing at their home in Beijing - nail some paintings into the corridor walls.

He also wanted to build a kennel in the yard. He would build one out of wood. It couldn't be as simple as Lin Hao's kennel. It had to be able to protect it from wind and rain, and it had to have the word "candy" engraved on the door number.

He still remembered that Su Qiao liked to drink, so he started to pay attention to bartending. However, alcohol was harmful to the body, and it was not good for girls to drink too much. He felt that Su Qiao should be reminded frequently when they lived together in the future.

Why consider these?

He has been homeless since he was seven years old.

Boarding school, my uncle's house in the country, and later my house in London, there was always something missing.

Those indescribable gaps are being filled by Su Qiao's words and deeds.

Thinking of this, the wooden door of the study room opened in an instant.
