Chapter 733: The picture shows a poor dagger 2
"This is quite interesting." Mr. Huang said with a smile: "It's just Mr. Tao, why are you competing with the Xue family?"
Tao Pengju said: "If I lose, I will retire from the position of president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, and let the brothers in the association select new talents. In addition, my Tao family will transfer the cloth store run by my men to the Xue family without taking a penny. .”
When Xue Ruyue heard this, she was immediately surprised. The Tao family was an imperial merchant and had Tao Fan, a Suzhou manufacturer, as its backer. Although the scale of its cloth shop was not as large as that of the Xue family, it was not much different. Now Tao Pengju In doing so, he was obviously taking the Tao family as a bet and preparing to make a desperate move.
Mr. Huang nodded, with a mysterious smile in his eyes and said, "What if the Xue family loses? What do you want them to do?"
Tao Pengju said: "Bi Yuntao beat me two today. If they lose, I will ask the Xue family to apologize to me and President Yu. In addition..." He glanced at Xue Ruyue, with a trace of fanaticism flashing in his eyes, and said: "I know that Ru Yuexianmei and Bi Yuntao have not yet consummated their marriage. Therefore, if you lose, I will ask Ru Yuexianmei to marry me."
As soon as he said it, everyone in the audience was shocked. Everyone present knew that the Xue family now basically has Xue Ruyue in charge. Getting Xue Ruyue means getting the Xue family, and getting the Xue family means getting the management of this perfume. Tao Peng raised his hand. , can be described as extremely sinister.
"Shameless!" Xue Ruyue blushed and cursed angrily. This Tao Pengju has completely revealed his sinister look today, completely tearing away his former gentleness. He is just as gentle as Bi Yuntao, no. Although Bi Yuntao is lustful, he at least behaves shamelessly towards himself.
At this point, Tao Pengju has completely broken up with the Xue family. Today's trapped beast fight can no longer be resolved. There must be a life-and-death battle between the two of them.
Bi Yuntao laughed disdainfully: "I didn't expect that the dignified Master Tao would be reduced to such a method. He simply didn't even have the dignity to do so."
Mr. Huang looked at Xue Ruyue solemnly and said, "Miss Xue, this matter concerns you for the rest of your life. You must consider it carefully and don't act on your whim."
Yes, Mr. Huang has calmly sentenced both parties to a fifty-fifty hit. The matter has just been revealed. Will I be stupid enough to fight with him again? Bi Yuntao was thinking in his heart and said to Xue Ruyue: "Sister Xue, your Excellency has already decided this matter today. Now it has nothing to do with our Xue family. There is no need to fight with him."
Seeing the thoughtful look in Xue Ruyue's eyes, Tao Pengju couldn't help but smile and said: "Xianmei Ruyue, today I have a fair competition in front of Mr. Huang. There is no cheating for personal gain. If the Xue family does not dare to challenge, then in the future Jinling The Chamber of Commerce will no longer have a place for the Xue family." The threat in these words is not obvious.
Although Mr. Huang is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, he cannot resolve matters within the association. If they break away from the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that the Xue family will find it difficult to move forward in Jinling. If Tao Pengju is not solved, this matter will not be resolved.
Xue Ruyue naturally knew the stakes involved. She clenched her fists and bit her lips tightly, but she didn't know what to do.
On one side is her lifelong happiness, on the other side is the survival of hundreds of people in the Xue family. She has been forced to the cliff with no way out.
This matter concerns Xue Ruyue and the entire Xue family. If they refuse and the Xue family is expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, even with the support of the He family, it will be difficult to move forward. But if acceptance leads to failure, it will be a life-long matter for Xue Ruyue. If the sanctimonious Tao Pengju is allowed to enter Xue's house, Bi Yuntao will be filled with anger just thinking about it.
For the first time, Bi Yuntao felt that his intentions were beyond his control. Based on his understanding of Xue Ruyue, he knew what Xue Ruyue's choice would be.
Bi Yuntao did not urge or persuade Xue Ruyue. No matter what choice Xue Ruyue made, he would choose to believe him unconditionally.
After a while, Xue Ruyue finally made her choice. She sighed, bit her lip and said with difficulty: "Bi Yuntao, I..." After saying this, she paused slightly. But I couldn't say the next words. I tried several times, but my lips only moved slightly and no sound came out.
Bi Yuntao took her cold little hand and smiled back, "Sister Xue, you don't need to say anything, I have already guessed your choice. Don't worry, soldiers will stop you, and water will cover you. No matter what choice you make, I will be with you Be by your side and face it with you.”
"Yes." Xue Ruyue nodded affirmatively, her eyes filled with tears, and even her affirmative reply contained an uncontrollable tremor in her voice.
Seeing this, Bi Yuntao wiped away the tears from her eyes and whispered in her ear: "Sister Xue, don't be afraid. The worst we can do is lie around and refuse to admit the blame. If that Tao dares to come and ask for help, I will find a copycat." I will establish myself as a king, lead people to snatch the bride, and snatch you back to be the wife of the village."
Xue Ruyue's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she spat softly: "You have reached this stage, but you still haven't said anything serious. How can you be so unbearable as Mrs. Yazhai?"
She didn't know what she was feeling, but after his interruption, she felt much calmer. One is civil and the other is martial. The civil one has his own support, so naturally he is not afraid. The martial one loses, but there is still a third level, Huang Lao, to check it. I guess Mr. Huang will not deliberately embarrass himself.
When she thought about it, she felt much happier. When Bi Yuntao saw this, he smiled and said: "Sister Xue, have you forgotten that Meng Ruolang is still here? People present don't know that you still don't know the relationship between Meng Ruolang and me. If he dares to watch me lose, he will wait until he comes to Beijing to see if I don’t turn Zuo Xiang’s house upside down.”
After Bi Yuntao's reminder, Xue Ruyue remembered that Meng Ruolang was also here. This time, she was completely relieved. Relying on the relationship between Meng Ruolang and Bi Yuntao, he would not just watch Bi Yuntao lose.
At this time, Xue Ruyue's smile became even brighter, causing everyone onlookers to look sideways. Tao Pengju was even more unbearable and his eyes were straightened. He had never seen Xue Ruyue with such a beautiful smile, and he wanted Xue Ruyue even more in his heart.
Xue Ruyue smiled at Bi Yuntao and said: "At this critical moment, you must not be rude. If you lose, I will let you live in a woodshed for a year."
Bi Yuntao smiled and said: "If you lose, let alone the woodshed, I won't complain at all even if you let me live in the hut. But if you win, you have to wash my pants for a year. This is only fair. "
Xue Ruyue lowered her head shyly, and let out a soft hum as the red clouds danced.
