"Xia, Xia Guan has met Mr. Zhao."
After Cui Yu came to the main hall of Zhao Mansion, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Zhao Junchen personally greeting him, and then he saluted Zhao Junchen with an awkward look on his face.
From a certain point of view, Zhao Junchen is the culprit for Cui Qianxue's current situation. Coupled with Zhao Junchen's bad reputation, Cui Yu naturally has some resentment and hostility in his heart. If there are other options, Cui Yu really Not willing to meet Zhao Junchen.
However, now that he came to the Zhao Mansion to pick up his daughter, Zhao Junchen took the initiative to show up, but Cui Yu had to see Zhao Junchen, and due to the difference in official position, he even had to salute and greet Zhao Junchen.
Compared to Cui Yu's troubled expression, Zhao Junchen was quite polite. He quickly came to Cui Yu, helped Cui Yu up, and said with a smile: "We are just meeting in private today, and I am not an office here. , Mr. Cui said there is no need to be polite. Speaking of which, your daughter and I are very close friends and we are of the same generation, so I should call you uncle."
Zhao Junchen was very polite, but Cui Yu didn't appreciate it and said: "What Mr. Zhao said is inappropriate. Although this is not an office, you and I are court officials after all. There is a distinction between superior and inferior. Lower officials never dare to forget it, let alone What's more, your family and I are not family friends, Qianxue and Mr. Zhao have only met each other a few times, and I really don't dare to be called uncle."
To be honest, Zhao Junchen was polite to Cui Yu only for Cui Qianxue's sake, but Zhao Junchen only liked Cui Qianxue in general and felt that it was relaxing to be with her, but he did not expect anything from her.
Therefore, now that Cui Yu is quite alienated from him, Zhao Junchen does not force himself. After just ordering someone to serve tea, he and Cui Yu sat down next to each other.
However. Before Zhao Junchen could speak, Cui Yu cupped his hands and said, "I heard this. My daughter Cui Qianxue is staying at Mr. Zhao's residence and I came here to pick her up. I wonder where Qianxue is now?"
Seeing Cui Yu's unwillingness to stay for a long time, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and did not get angry. He just explained patiently: "Miss Cui was attacked by gangsters on her way back to Cui Mansion today and was rescued by my people. After checking, the doctor said he was fine, just a little frightened. He is now recuperating in the guest room."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Cui Yu's expression changed drastically. He stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhao, what did you say? Qianxue was attacked by gangsters?"
Seeing Cui Yu's behavior, Zhao Junchen was surprised and asked: "What? I just sent someone to your mansion not long ago to report the attack on Miss Cui, but you don't know about it? Is it possible that Senior Cui didn't tell you? ?”
It turns out that although Cui Mian received the news of Cui Qianxue's attack, he did so out of various considerations. He did not tell Cui Yu immediately, but only asked Cui Yu to tell him that he wanted to expel Cui Qianxue from the house. In this case, how could Cui Yu still have the heart to ask other questions? He just begged Cui Mian to forgive Cui Qianxue, as for everything that followed. It has already been explained in the previous article.
But he said that after Cui Yu was kicked out of the house by Cui Mian, although he was sad and disappointed, he thought that his precious daughter was still here with Zhao Junchen. But he didn't care about anything else and hurried over to take Cui Qianxue back. It was only then that Zhao Junchen learned the whole story.
How much does Cui Yu love Cui Qianxue? Hearing the news that Cui Qianxue was attacked, she was naturally panicked. I wanted to see Cui Qianxue right away, but now I heard Zhao Junchen's question, but I didn't know how to answer it.
He and his daughter were kicked out of the Cui family by Cui Mian. This kind of thing was hard to talk about, and Cui Yu didn't know where to start. Although Cui Yu felt that this incident was largely caused by Zhao Junchen, but now Zhao Junchen had just saved Cui Qianxue, but Cui Yu couldn't accuse him face to face.
Seeing Cui Yu's silence, his expression full of contradictions and entanglements, Zhao Junchen was not in a hurry. He just drank the tea carefully while waiting for Cui Yu's answer.
However, Zhao Junchen did not wait for Cui Yu's answer, but waited for the news brought by Xu Qingyan.
After Xu Qingyan hurriedly entered the main hall of Zhao Mansion, he glanced at Cui Yu with a strange expression, then came to Zhao Junchen, leaned over and whispered to Zhao Junchen: "Young Master, I just got the news, because Cui Yu Regarding the girl running away from home, Cui Mian drove Cui Yu and Miss Cui out of the house not long ago."
Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be startled when he heard the news brought by Xu Qingyan. After thinking for a moment, he understood Cui Mian's intention and why Cui Yu didn't answer his inquiry for so long.
"Cui Mian, as the former pavilion elder, is not completely incompetent after all. There are only two options to choose from, but he actually found a third way out. As expected, Jiang is still hotter."
While thinking to himself, Zhao Junchen looked at Cui Yu and saw that Cui Yu's expression was as troubled as ever. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly, understanding that Cui Yu simply failed to understand Cui Mian's good intentions.
Zhao Junchen didn't mind showing his kindness when it had nothing to do with his own interests, so after seeing Cui Yu's appearance, Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment and decided to make a point.
"It turns out that Cui Shitang has left Cui Mansion." Zhao Junchen said slowly.
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said and looking at Xu Qingyan who came to report the news, Cui Yu knew that Zhao Junchen had already known that he and Cui Qianxue were kicked out of the house, so he no longer concealed it and just said in a low voice: "A scandal at home. Make Master Zhao laugh."
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Actually, this is not a bad thing."
"A good thing?" Cui Yu was stunned. He thought Zhao Junchen was mocking him, but seeing the kindness in Zhao Junchen's expression, he didn't think so.
Zhao Junchen nodded and explained in detail: "This matter is also related to me, so I have also considered it on behalf of Senior Cui. Because of Miss Cui's running away from home, there is now a gap between our two families. There are countless rumors, and when things have reached this point, your father has only two choices, either to give up the Cui family's century-old reputation and keep Miss Cui, or to give up Miss Cui and keep the Cui family's century-old reputation, but no matter what you choose, the two The winner always has to sacrifice one, but now Senior Cui has finally found the best solution, which is to expel Cui Shidao, you and Miss Cui from the Cui family. This approach may seem cold, but not only does the Cui family's cleanliness My name can be preserved, and after Miss Cui leaves the Cui Mansion, you will still have Cui Cui to take care of her, so that she won’t be helpless, living on the streets, and bullied by the world. Isn’t this a good thing that has the best of both worlds?”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen added meaningfully: "This is Mr. Cui Ge's love for Miss Cui. His good intentions are admirable, but he is a little wronged by Cui Shi."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Cui Yu couldn't help but be stunned again. He had never considered it like this.
Seeing Cui Yu like this, Zhao Junchen shook his head secretly and continued: "So, in my opinion, Senior Cui did not really want to drive Shitou Cui and Miss Cui out of the house, but he was forced to do so for a while. If Cui Shi is serious about it, in the future, when the limelight is over, he can often visit Senior Cui, and if he takes the initiative to ask for help, there may be a possibility of returning to the clan."
After listening to Zhao Junchen's explanation, Cui Yu felt suddenly enlightened, and he was no longer as tangled and dull as before. He just stood up and saluted, thanking Zhao Junchen for his advice.
Originally, Cui Yu was quite hostile to Zhao Junchen, firstly because of Zhao Junchen's notorious reputation, and secondly because of Cui Qianxue's affairs, but now that Cui Qianxue is still in Zhao Junchen's house, Cui Yu has something to ask for and doesn't want to show it. .
But at this time, after receiving Zhao Junchen's reminder, and knowing that Zhao Junchen had saved Cui Qianxue, and seeing that Zhao Junchen treated him quite kindly, not only did his hostility toward Zhao Junchen disappear, but he also developed a lot of good feelings, feeling Zhao Junchen is not a corrupt official who has done all kinds of bad things as rumored.
However, in Cui Yu's heart, his precious daughter was the most important after all, so after thanking Zhao Junchen, he asked to see Cui Qianxue.
Zhao Junchen naturally would not object to this, and personally led Cui Yu towards Cui Qianxue's room.
On the way, Cui Yu suddenly remembered something very important.
"Master Zhao, you said that there were gangsters who wanted to attack Qianxue today, but you don't know where these gangsters came from? And why did they attack Qianxue?"
Cui Yu asked with a solemn expression.
