Although Bai Zhi was very simple and beautiful, a type of beauty that Su Qin had never encountered before, Su Qin really didn't have any bad thoughts about Bai Zhi.
Although he was younger than Bai Zhi, he felt towards Bai Zhi like a brother caring for his sister. Especially after knowing what Bai Zhi had experienced, Su Qin felt even more sorry for this girl who was full of hope for life.
It seemed that after seeing Bai Zhi, he was no longer the aloof eldest son of the Su family, nor was he the future heir to the patriarch of the Su family. He was just an ordinary, flesh-and-blood self. This was Su Qin's most direct thought.
He just wants to protect Bai Zhi's life and help her as much as he can if she is willing, but he doesn't want to change Bai Zhi's life, he just wants her to live a peaceful and happy life.
There is no need to let her live a high life, because Su Qin can do it casually as long as she is willing, because Su Qin has the ability to change the life trajectory of an ordinary person.
She doesn't know if Bai Zhi is willing, maybe Bai Zhi is not willing, because that is not her life, because that kind of life is too unreal for her, or maybe Bai Zhi is willing, after all, that kind of life is the envy of most people Yes, but Su Qin is really afraid that one day Bai Zhi will become strange to him, or turn into something he once hated. That is what Su Qin does not want to see.
Therefore, Su Qin has gone from being conflicted at the beginning to being firm now. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Qin will let Bai Zhi make her own choice, but at least not now.
What he can do now is not to disturb Bai Zhi's life and not let Bai Zhi know his true identity. They can just be ordinary friends. But what can be guaranteed is that Bai Zhi will no longer endure hardship and be tortured by life. If you are bullied by others again, you will no longer suffer the slightest grievance.
Chen Qiming witnessed everything, and he also liked Bai Zhi very much, just out of pure appreciation, which was similar to Su Qin's mentality.
After coming from Longquanyi, Chen Qiming accompanied Su Qin here and waited for Mr. Song to send money. Of course, Chen Qiming also knew that Su Qin just wanted to see Bai Zhi again.
Bai Zhi is always busy. When there are guests, she smiles, chats and packs bouquets. When there are no guests, she sits there and reads a book, or tidies up the flowers and plants in the store, or takes out a vase and follows online tutorials to improve her flower arrangement skills. In short, she is always happy. He was not idle, and of course the smile on his face never faded.
It's getting dark now, and Bai Zhi has no intention of leaving. She usually closes the store at eight o'clock in the evening, and may open until ten o'clock on holidays. In short, she is used to it, and she has no complaints even if there are no customers today.
Chen Qiming asked casually: "Master, why don't you go over and say hello?"
Su Qin shook his head and said: "Brother Chen, I have no other thoughts about Bai Zhi. I just feel sorry for her and want to protect her. When we separated yesterday, she never asked my name from beginning to end, which shows that she has no regard for me, a stranger." Still be wary, if I go over there now, she will be frightened."
Su Qin may not know that it's not that Bai Zhi is unwilling to ask, but the feeling he showed at that time made Bai Zhi feel that he didn't want to have too much involvement with her, because Bai Zhi is a very sensitive person and is most afraid of causing trouble to others. .
Chen Qiming nodded thoughtfully and said, "The young master is still thoughtful, but if the young master wants to have contact, he can create a deliberate chance encounter later. When we first meet, we are strangers, but when we meet again, we may become friends."
Su Qin did not refuse and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let's get down to business first. As for this, we can arrange for a mausoleum guard to protect Bai Zhi at any time. I don't want her to get into any more trouble."
Chen Qiming immediately said: "I will notify Zhao Datong later."
After staying here for a while, Su Qin returned to Longquanyi Club, where he could receive reports from Han Xianjing at any time. Han Xianjing had now accompanied Lin Wang to Demian, and Han Xianjing's deputy, the Southwest Company The second in command followed Lin Han to Shunan. Xiyue sent people to protect them while keeping an eye on Uncle Dong.
Not long after Su Qin returned to Longquanyi Club, he received a call from Shasha. Shasha delayed calling Su Qin for a day, also to prevent Su Qin from feeling too embarrassed.
It's easy to talk, but next time he won't help casually. Even if he wants to help, he has to pay a price.
Su Qin was a little excited when he saw Shasha's phone call. It meant that there was a result over there. Su Qin answered the phone and got straight to the point: "Shasha, is there a result over there for Uncle Zhao?"
Shasha said angrily: "Su Qin, we are friends after all. Can't I call you if I have nothing to do? Or is it that we can only talk about these things on the phone? Are you a little too purposeful? "
Su Qin didn't expect to be scolded by Shasha right away. Although Shasha's words were mostly meant as a joke, Su Qin also reflected: "Yes, yes, my aunt is right. I was too anxious. I really shouldn't. I'll do it next time." Notice."
Shasha didn't expect that Su Qin had such a correct attitude. He really had to be humble when asking for help. She couldn't help but hope that Su Qin would ask her for help more often, so that she would have more opportunities to manipulate Su Qin.
"Because of your good attitude, I won't share your common knowledge." Shasha said arrogantly.
Su Qin said politely: "Auntie, what are your instructions for calling me?"
Shasha was too lazy to tease Su Qin any more, and said directly: "I won't hold back on you anymore. My dad has replied and said that it's almost done. He will contact the Zhao family in Xishu in the next two days and let me know when the time comes. My brother went to Xishu with the elders of the clan to talk to the Xishu Zhao family about recognizing their ancestors and returning to the clan. I also asked my brother and said that the reason has been found now, but it depends on whether the Xishu Zhao family can accept it."
Su Qin said disapprovingly: "As long as they can recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, they can accept any reason from the Xishu Zhao family. They have no bargaining capital. Does anyone know what this means to them?"
Shasha said unhurriedly: "Actually, the reason is very simple. My grandfather's grandfather, my father's great-great-grandfather, and my great-great-grandfather's generation had civil strife in our family. In order to save their lives, my great-grandfather's youngest son was killed. My younger brother was sent to Xishu for refuge. My great-grandfather’s younger brother inherited the lineage of the Zhao family in Xishu. Later, when the current situation was turbulent and the family was in civil strife, they forgot about it. I only remembered it when I was editing the genealogy recently. This made Xishu The Zhao family recognizes their ancestors and returns to their clan."
After hearing this, Su Qin couldn't help but said with a smile: "Higher, Uncle Zhao is still higher. This reason is very suitable."
"So you tell the Zhao family in Xishu in advance. If they are willing, you can tell my brother when the time comes. My brother will contact them recently to prevent anything else from happening and affecting you. Things here." Shasha reminded kindly.
Su Qin smiled and said, "It won't be a problem. I'll call them later."
After Shasha told Su Qin about this, she curled her lips and said, "Okay, I've told you everything you need to say. You can rest assured now. I'll hang up if nothing happens."
Su Qin hurriedly said: "Shasha, thank you, you have helped me a lot. I will treat you to dinner later. When I finish my work here, I will go to the United States to see you."
Shasha originally wanted to say that you knew I had helped you with a big thing, so you were just going to treat me to a meal to thank you, but after hearing what Su Qin said later, he said that he would go to the United States to see him, and he said with satisfaction I almost hung up the phone.
After Shasha hung up the phone, Su Qin immediately called Zhao Taiqing. It was still early and Zhao Taiqing must not have slept.
Of course, what Su Qin didn't know was that not only did Zhao Taiqing not sleep for a while, he was also celebrating it outside.
Just because he told his father, Mr. Zhao, about this in the morning, Mr. Zhao arranged for the whole family to go out to celebrate tonight. They are having dinner at the best high-end restaurant in Xishu. Mr. Zhao has not been so happy for a long time.
There were no outsiders, except for the old man, their wives and children. When Zhao Taiqing saw the call was from Su Qin, he stood up and told the old man and others to come out and answer the phone.
After answering the phone, Zhao Taiqing said, "Mr. Su, it's so late, do you have any instructions?"
"Old Zhao, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Su Qin said casually.
Zhao Taiqing said quickly: "Young Master Su, your words are too polite. If you call me at any time, I will answer the call as soon as possible."
Su Qin didn't say anything nonsense.
, said bluntly: "It's nothing, it's just that there is news from the Zhao family in Beijing. They have found a suitable reason for your Xishu Zhao family to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. They asked me to tell you in advance, you Xishu If the Zhao family has no objection, they will contact you in the next two days."
Zhao Taiqing asked in a deep voice: "Young Master Su, what's the reason for going to Beijing?"
Su Qin repeated Shasha's words: "The reason for going to Beijing is that the current patriarch, the great-grandfather, sent his youngest brother to Xishu for refuge in order to save his life, and his brother inherited the lineage of your Xishu Zhao family. , but the current situation was turbulent and the family was in civil strife, so I forgot about it. I only remembered it when I was editing the family tree recently. This is how your Xishu Zhao family recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan. Do you have any objections here?"
After hearing this, Zhao Taiqing said without hesitation: "I don't have any objections. It's been so many years. Who would argue about this?"
Of course, Zhao Taiqing had no objection. The ancestor had been dead for who knows how many years. He probably didn’t even expect that he could bring some blessings to his descendants after his death. Furthermore, this directly brought the Zhao family of Xishu and the The relationship between the Zhao family in Beijing has become close enough, and at least several generations will be able to enjoy the policy dividends. Why not?
"If they calculate it this way, you two brothers should be of the same generation as the current clan leader. Let's forget the rest. You can decide for yourself when the time comes." Su Qin said casually.
Zhao Taiqing said quickly: "Young Master Su, we definitely have no objections here. Everything will be done according to the wishes of Shangjing."
Su Qin nodded lightly and said, "Then I will reply to Shangjing. Just wait for the news."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Taiqing couldn't wait to walk into the box and repeated what Su Qin had just said to the old man. As expected, neither Mr. Zhao nor Zhao Tai'an or anyone else had any objections and agreed without hesitation.
Because as Zhao Taiqing thought, that ancestor had been dead for so many years, and he probably didn't even expect that he could still help future generations.
Moreover, if you talk about it this way, it has indeed brought the relationship between the Zhao family in Xishu and the Zhao family in Shangjing very close. At least four generations of the descendants of the Zhao family in Xishu will be able to follow suit...
