Su Qin still doesn't know that Li Chengfeng and Meng Bo are colluding with each other. Now the two sides have begun to fight their own way. Su Qin arranged for the tomb guards to start staring at Li Chengfeng, and Li Chengfeng arranged for the Li family to keep an eye on Su Qin. Neither party knew. The other party takes action, which is interesting.
In the evening, Su Qin had a dinner and went to the banquet. Wang Lei and Li Zhen had also started taking action. Now they were waiting for opportunities and news.
The person who invited Su Qin to dinner was none other than Zhao Jitong, the current patriarch of the Zhao family.
Su Qin originally planned to go to the Zhao family to visit Zhao Jitong. He had to maintain this relationship so that the Zhao family could help him at critical times in the future. Therefore, Su Qin chose to visit the Zhao family every time he returned to Kyoto.
Putting aside the relationship between Su Qin and Shasha, Su Qin and Zhao Jingshi now have a very close relationship. He was supposed to visit the Zhao family, so he told Zhao Jingshi in advance.
Who knew that Zhao Jingshi not only told his father Zhao Jitong, but also his mother Yu Jinyu. Yu Jinyu took the initiative to tell Zhao Jitong that the couple took Zhao Jingshi to invite Su Qin to dinner, which was considered to be a thank you to Su Qin for taking care of Zhao Jingshi at Chang'an University. .
In particular, Zhao Jingshi has changed a lot now. All of this is due to Su Qin. Yu Jinyu's reason is very appropriate. In the end, Zhao Jitong agreed to Yu Jinyu's proposal and chose to treat Su Qin to dinner outside.
Another most important reason is that Zhao Jitong feels that there are too many women in the family. If Su Qin goes there, it will be too chaotic. Su Qin was bothered by these women last time, so he agreed to Yu Jinyu's proposal. proposal.
Yu Jinyu is Zhao Jitong's fourth wife. She is now in her forties but takes very good care of herself. Even though her son Zhao Jingshi is already that old, he only looks like he is in his thirties.
The most important thing is that she knows how to take care of herself, and she dresses very charmingly when going out. Zhao Jitong loves his fourth wife and his younger wife the most, and Zhao Jingshi takes advantage of her.
After all, Zhao Jitong has eight children. Except for the eldest son who drowned, there are seven more children. Zhao Jingwei and Shasha were born to his first wife. The younger wife still has no intention of having children. The other five wives gave birth to one son each.
Therefore, it is said that Zhao Jitong is extremely talented, and they don't know if there are any family secrets that can make the old Zhao family so prosperous.
If it were a young master or a dandy from another family, Zhao Jitong would definitely not be able to give him such great respect. After all, Zhao Jitong was the patriarch of the Zhao family, and he was a big shot in the entire federation, let alone in Beijing.
Similarly, it is not because of his daughter Shasha and son Zhao Jingshi. Of course, this is one of the reasons. The most important thing is that Su Qin is the eldest son of the Su family and the future patriarch of the Su family. This identity is what Zhao Jitong values. .
The place where Zhao Jitong entertained Su Qin is right here in Xishan. This is another property of the Zhao family. On weekdays, Zhao Jitong only entertains friends here. It focuses on sports style. There are golf driving ranges, tennis courts, and basketball courts outdoors, and a standard swimming pool indoors. Badminton court etc.
Others are similar to most clubs. You can eat, drink, sing, smoke cigars, etc. Almost all wealthy families in the capital have such places. The most important thing is that they are relatively private, but the styles may be different from each other.
Su Qin was almost downstairs now, and Zhao Jingshi went to pick up Su Qin himself. After all, Su Qin was the eldest young master of the Su family. Zhao Jitongyu Jinyu relied on his status to not go out to greet him, so he had to let Zhao Jingshi come down to pick up Su Qin.
Before Su Qin came, Yu Jinyu, who was wearing a turtleneck sweater and a long skirt that showed off her figure today, and had her hair pulled up, asked: "Old Zhao, please stop being so airy later. Have a few more drinks with Su Qin. Su Qin is a reliable kid. Look how much Jing Shi has changed with him. I was quite opposed to it when you asked Jing Shi to go to Chang'an University to study. I was just worried that this kid would get into trouble there. I never thought that Now he is so sensible after being trained by Su Qin."
Zhao Jitong said with a smile: "Honey, I have known Su Qin since I was a child. I am very familiar with the child. How can I be so pretentious?"
"I'm just talking." Yu Jinyu chuckled.
Zhao Jitong chuckled and said, "Honey, you are so beautiful today."
"I'm too old to be upright." Yu Jinyu said angrily.
Zhao Jitong is thick-skinned. Except for his eldest wife, who is not under his control, the other six wives are coaxed around by him. He treats each of them as his darling. As for how many darlings there are outside, he doesn’t know. Anyway, several wives are also ignore him.
Yu Jinyu glanced at the silence at the door of the box and asked: "Old Zhao, do you think Shasha and Su Qin have a chance? Shasha and Su Qin are childhood sweethearts, and Shasha is obviously interested in Su Qin. How about we match them up again?" "
Zhao Jitong's face changed slightly and he said, "You are just messing around with each other. Su Qin has a girlfriend."
"What's wrong with having a girlfriend? It's normal for young people to have a girlfriend, but it may not be necessary to get married in the future. Who can match Su Qin's family? It's just the girls from our eight aristocratic families, or the daughters of the top dignitaries." Yu Jinyu said disapprovingly.
Zhao Jitong said thoughtfully: "Let nature take its course. I would not object if they have the opportunity to be together."
Yu Jinyu is not a flower vase. She knows a little bit about many things, so she said: "I know what you are worried about. You don't want to get involved in the internal fighting of the Su family. If Grandpa Su Qin dies, Su Qin will be worried about it. It's a foreign invasion, the Li family has been keeping an eye on the Su family, just waiting for something to happen to the Su family so that they can add insult to injury."
Zhao Jitong said without denying: "You, you, I can't hide anything from you."
"And what you're worried about is that Su Qin can't control the situation and inherit the Su family smoothly, right?" Yu Jinyu continued.
Zhao Jitong said nothing, apparently acquiescing.
Yu Jinyu smiled and said, "You said that if Su Qin and Shasha get married, our Zhao family will support Su Qin to successfully inherit the position of patriarch. What is the rate of return on this investment?"
Zhao Jitong did not have any emotional fluctuations because of these words. He just said: "I know everything you said, so I say let everything take its course. Su Qin and Shasha's affairs will take their course. As for whether I will support them when the time comes, Su Qin has to let nature take its course. If the risks outweigh the benefits, even if I want to support it, there will be loud opposition within the family."
Yu Jinyu nodded and said: "It seems that you know everything, so let nature take its course. Maybe they will actually get together."
Downstairs, Su Qin's motorcade had arrived. Zhao Jingshi opened the door for Su Qin himself. After Su Qin got off the car, he said, "Brother Su, is there a traffic jam on the road? My parents are already waiting for you inside."
Su Qin apologized: "I'm so sorry for keeping Uncle Zhao and Fourth Mother waiting for so long."
"Brother Su, we are all our own people. There is no need to be so polite. Let's go in first." Zhao Jingshi put his arm around Su Qin's shoulders and said.
On the way in, Zhao Jingshi reminded him again: "Brother Su, when I wait, my mother's gossipy mouth will definitely ask you about my sister's affairs again. Don't take it to heart. Just pretend to be confused. I'll talk about it then." Cover for you."
Su Qin said cheerfully: "You have quite a conscience."
Zhao Jingshi laughed loudly and said: "I am now your number one brother, Brother Su, so I must turn to you."
The two joked a few words and soon arrived in the box.
When Su Qin and Zhao Jingshi walked into the private room, Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu stood up to greet them. Su Qin quickly said hello: "Uncle Zhao, Fourth Mother, there is a traffic jam on the road. I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Zhao Jitong smiled lightly and said: "We have just arrived, so you two should come and sit down first."
Yu Jinyu said enthusiastically: "Oh, there must be a traffic jam at this point. Are you hungry already? I will ask them to serve the food quickly."
After saying that, Yu Jinyu said to the butler in the box that the food can be served. Each box here has a butler who can meet all your requirements when you return to the hotel.
Today is Zhao Jitong's banquet with guests, and the club takes it very seriously. Not only is the private room equipped with two butlers, but even the person in charge is on standby outside. If he neglects this in the slightest, he will have to pack up and leave tomorrow.
Because there were only four people, Zhao Jitong did not choose a private room that was too big, so that it would be just right for four people to sit in.
Su Qin sat next to Zhao Jitong, and Zhao Jingshi naturally sat next to his mother Yu Jinyu. Zhao Jitong smiled and said, "Su Qin, I didn't greet you properly last time when you came home. This time, uncle will drink with you."
Zhao Jitong said drinking, so Su Qin naturally had to drink with him, and said with a smile: "Then I will drink with Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Jitong said in a deep voice: "Bring me two bottles of my fifty-year-old Moutai."
The butler immediately followed the instructions and went to get the wine, while another butler prepared the wine utensils. Yu Jinyu had a good capacity for drinking and planned to drink some with Su Qin.
Zhao Jingshi had never drank in front of his parents. This time he mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, Mom, can I drink?"
Zhao Jitong said angrily: "What do children drink?"
What Zhao Jingshi fears most is his father, followed by his eldest brother and sister. Since his father has spoken, he is naturally extremely well-behaved.
Who knew that my mother, Yu Jinyu, said: "Jingshi is already in college. If he wants to drink, let him drink. Besides, if you can control him, how can he drink with his classmates in college?"
Zhao Jitong was silent for a moment, he had to give his wife face, and finally nodded and said: "Then drink less."
Su Qin was only two years older than Zhao Jingshi. Su Qin could have a drink with him, so he had to give his son some face. Besides, his son had indeed grown up, and he had never had a drink with him before.
Zhao Jingshi said happily: "Thank you, dad, thank you, mom."
He knew that the opportunity to drink with his father was all for Brother Su's sake.
It didn't take long for the butler to bring the wine, get a wine divider for everyone, and fill everyone's glasses.
The waiter also started to serve the dishes at this time, and soon all the dishes were served. The person in charge had already warned that all the dishes must be served within ten minutes. Who told this to be the patriarch of the Zhao family?
Since it was not a social gathering, Zhao Jitong said, "Let's eat something first before drinking, otherwise you will definitely feel uncomfortable if you drink too much."
Yu Jinyu smiled and said, "Su Qin, try this fish. I asked the kitchen to keep it specially and it was flown over this morning. It's very fresh."
All the ingredients here are prepared on the same day, and the top domestic ingredients are selected. The chefs in the kitchen are all apprentices of the state banquet chef, etc., so the taste of these dishes is indistinguishable.
After eating for a while, Zhao Jitong picked up the wine glass leisurely and said: "Su Qin, your fourth mother and I toast you this first glass of wine. Thank you for taking care of this child Jingshi at Chang'an University. From now on." Ah, I will definitely have to trouble you to take care of him."
Yu Jinyu followed the topic and said: "Su Qin, Fourth Mother thanks you from the bottom of my heart. We all know what Jingshi was like before. He was lawless and often fought and caused trouble. But this semester at Chang'an University has changed like this. Da, this is something we didn’t expect, so we must respect you.”
This time, Zhao Jingshi and I only had to laugh, not talk.
Su Qin still said modestly: "Uncle Zhao, Fourth Mother, he is actually quite good at dealing with the world, but he may be a bit playful. You may have doted on him too much in the past and did not let him contact the world alone. He went to Chang'an University and Once you become independent, you will naturally return to your true nature.”
Su Qin gave Zhao Jingshi enough face, and he would definitely praise Zhao Jingshi in front of Zhao Jingshi's parents.
Zhao Jitong said happily: "Su Qin, you can still speak. No matter what, you will teach this brat more in the future."
Yu Jinyu glared at his son and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you pick up your wine glass and toast you, Brother Su Qin?"
After Zhao Jingshi picked up the wine glass, the three members of the Zhao family clinked glasses with Su Qin with a smile.
After drinking the wine and taking two bites of food, Zhao Jitong picked up the wine glass again and said, "This is the second glass. Uncle, I'll toast to you alone. Shasha went to Chang'an some time ago, and I must have troubled you a lot."
Su Qin said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Zhao, I can drink this glass of wine with you. It's just that Shasha didn't pay much attention to me and Jingshi when she went to Chang'an. She always lives alone, and we didn't even give her a chance to accompany her."
Yu Jinyu was a little surprised and said, "Ah, what's going on?"
Zhao Jingshi couldn't help but complain: "Mom, you don't know my sister's character yet, who can control her?"
Zhao Jitong snorted coldly: "You are a younger brother, I have no right to talk about your sister."
Zhao Jingshi shut up obediently, who makes his father love his sister the most?
Zhao Jitong didn't talk nonsense, he just said let's have another drink, so he clinked glasses with Su Qin again.
Su Qin took the initiative to serve the third glass of wine and thanked Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu for the banquet. Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu smiled and said that they were from their own family and they didn't need to be so polite. Then everyone clinked their glasses and drank.
After three glasses of wine, there were no more rules. Everyone started drinking while eating. Su Qin toasted Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu separately. After he finished toasting, Zhao Jingshi drank with him.
Obviously, Zhao Jingshi couldn't let go when his parents were present. Su Qin kicked Zhao Jingshi's feet, and then whispered: "Give your parents a toast."
Zhao Jingshi had never had a drink with his parents before, so he realized it now. He thought for a long time before he picked up the wine glass, stood up and mustered up the courage to say: "Dad, Mom, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. My son has made you worry about me all these years." From now on, my son will try not to cause trouble or get into trouble so that you won’t worry about it, and as for his studies, he won’t worry about you either.”
Zhao Jingshi said these words out of emotion. He knew that he had made his family worry a lot when he went to Beijing a few years ago. Now he also knows that what he did before was wrong, so he said it sincerely.
Zhao Jingshi was so sudden and spoke so sincerely, which surprised both Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu. As a mother, Yu Jinyu was even more moved. She instantly turned red and said, "Old Zhao, my son has grown up."
Yu Jinyu was more pleased that there were so many sons in the old Zhao family, and Zhao Jingshi was not the eldest son. She did not expect Zhao Jingshi to be more successful, let alone care about that position, she just wanted this son to be able to achieve something, so that she could do it in the future. Follow me and get some light, so that you won't be looked down upon by other sisters.
After all, Zhao Jitong will abdicate sooner or later. At that time, whichever of these sons has the ability will stand higher, and whoever stands higher will have a higher status among these mothers.
In the past, Zhao Jingshi always caused trouble, which often made her worry and annoyed Zhao Jitong.
Now that Zhao Jingshi has gone to Chang'an University, he has suddenly grown up a lot. How could he say such things before, but now he actually knows how difficult it is for his parents? Can Yu Jinyu not be happy?
All this is because of Su Qin, so Yu Jinyu is very grateful to Su Qin.
Zhao Jitong was also a little surprised. He really didn't expect this bastard to say such things, but as a father, he must be on air. He said in a nonchalant manner: "Why are you crying when your son grows up? Shouldn't you be happy? "
After saying that, he snorted coldly: "You have some conscience, stop standing and sit down. Just be nice to your mother in the future."
Father's love is like this, always saying the harshest words to express the deepest love.
Yu Jinyu wiped his tears and said: "Be nice to your dad, and pay more attention to your dad if you have nothing to do. Although your dad is the patriarch of our Zhao family and looks very glamorous, do you know how tired your dad is? ?”
Zhao Jingshi said with some emotion: "Dad, Mom, you don't need to say anything. My son will work hard in the future and help you share some of the pressure as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay." Yu Jinyu said three times in a row.
Zhao Jitong didn't want to be too sensational, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink."
Zhao Jingshi drank a glass of wine with his parents with a bright smile. This glass of wine seemed to be the happiest and most delicious wine he had ever drank in his life. He seemed to feel a lot more relaxed instantly. Seeing his parents so happy made him realize how difficult it was for them.
After drinking, he couldn't help but look at Su Qin with grateful eyes. Sure enough, he could learn a lot by following Brother Su.
With Zhao Jingshi's appearance, the atmosphere during the meal became more casual. Perhaps Zhao Jingshi's son finally became sensible. Zhao Jitong was so happy that he couldn't help but drink with Su Qin. Even Yu Jinyu found various reasons to follow him. Su Qin drank, and Su Qin was somewhat unable to resist.
Opposite him were his parents, and Zhao Jingshi couldn't stop Su Qin from drinking. He could only watch Su Qin being drunk by his own parents and losing his temper.
Fortunately, after the two bottles of wine were finished, Zhao Jitong stopped opening the wine, and today's meal was over.
Su Qin drank the most. Although the amount of wine was not enough for him, he was still a little tipsy.
Su Qin took the initiative to say goodbye and leave. Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu asked Zhao Jingshi to see Su Qin off. There were guest rooms in the clubhouse. It would be okay for Zhao Jitong and Yu Jinyu to stay here tonight.
When leaving, Zhao Jingshi said funnyly: "Brother Su, have you noticed that my parents didn't mention anything about you and my sister tonight?"
Su Qin thought about it and it was true. Except for asking Shasha about going to Chang'an at the beginning, he really didn't talk about them anymore.
You must know that when he went to the Zhao family for the first time, the mothers of the Zhao family were always joking about their affairs, and this time he was prepared.
Su Qin chuckled and said, "Perhaps your performance was too good tonight and helped me divert the firepower."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jingshi said sincerely: "Brother Su, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known how to toast my parents. Even if I knew, I wouldn't have the courage. You wouldn't be here to give me a toast." Have you lost my confidence?"
Su Qin said with a smile: "What are you embarrassed about with your parents? You will always be a child in their eyes. They will not blame you whether you do right or wrong. Besides, after what you just said, you How happy are your parents?"
Zhao Jingshi said thoughtfully: "Well, I really didn't expect it before. The most I could do was coax my mother. My father would be scared to death when he saw her."
Su Qin continued: "Be smarter from now on. If you have nothing to do, call them more often, say soft words and buy some small gifts to make them happy. They have no other requirements from you. You can make them happy for several days with just a little effort. ."
Zhao Jingshi nodded and said, "Brother Su Qin, you know so much. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Su Qin suddenly sighed sadly and said: "Maybe it's because my parents passed away too early. I was thinking that if they were still alive, how could I, as a son, make them happy and relieved, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance."
Hearing Su Qin's words, Zhao Jingshi didn't know what to say for a moment, and he didn't know how to comfort Su Qin. It was rare for him to see Su Qin so sad.
It seemed that in front of him, Brother Su Qin was the kind of person who was just like his father, who would not blink even if the sky fell. However, he had forgotten that Su Qin was only two years older than him.
He could be willful since he was a child, but Su Qin was forced to grow up and seemed to have lost a lot of the fun he should have.
Su Qin didn't need comfort. He was already downstairs at this time. Su Qin said with a smile: "Go in and stay with your parents. I'll go back first."
After saying that, Su Qin went straight to the Mercedes-Benz Maybach. Concubine Pei opened the door for Su Qin and got into the car. Not long after, the motorcade left the Zhao family's manor club.
The night is like water and the moon is like frost.
At this moment, Su Qin really missed his parents. After all, he was just a twenty-year-old child.
He doesn't want to be that strong, but what can he do if he's not strong?
Grandpa is already old, how long can he protect him and his sister?
When grandpa passes away one day, he must stand up and protect the people he should protect.
Therefore, Su Qin never regrets or complains. He will continue on this path without hesitation, and he will personally eliminate any enemies who stand in his way.
