"Someone called me to ask about my brother's situation." Qu Xiaoxiao said while stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon.
"Your brother?" Qu's father looked at Qu Lianjie and then back at Qu Xiaoxiao: "What's wrong with your brother?"
"I was working in a bank and said that my brother asked him for a loan of 2 million. I thought that my brother was not short of money. Why did he go to the bank for a loan? So I asked someone to check it out. Guess what happened?"
Qu's father's expression turned gloomy: "What's wrong?"
Qu Xiaoxiao looked up at Qu Lianjie and said, "He lost millions playing options with others. The hole was not smoothed out, so he started looking for people all over the world to borrow money in an attempt to smooth out the debt and get by."
"Lianjie." Qu's father glared: "Is there such a thing?"
Qu Lianjie's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Qu Xiaoxiao with an unhappy look on his face. He thought to himself that it was no wonder he rushed home for dinner. It turned out that he had some leverage over him.
At this point, there was no point in denying it. He nodded and said, "That's what happened."
Qu's father said angrily: "Look at the resources you have. I gave you two companies, and also contacted you about a GI air-conditioning project. Lao Wang is keeping an eye on the construction site and you are responsible for part of it. How can you still do this?" Too busy? Want to play options with others? You loser."
Qu Lianjie looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, who looked proud, and became annoyed. He stood up and pointed at her and said, "Are you looking for someone to check on me? I originally wanted to leave something to chance and see you later. In this case, let's open it up." Speak up and let’s see who is the more asshole.”
He picked up the phone on the table, unlocked the screen, found a video file, clicked on it, and then pushed it in front of Qu's father.
"Brother Chen, you are wrong. We have put a lot of effort into this tender. Everything has been going well in the beginning, but in the end you can't tell me that. Comparing your feelings, have I treated you badly these days?"
"Hiccup~ Manager Qu, I really have tried my best, hiccup..."
"Brother Chen, look what this is?"
Someone next to me brought a document to the drunk man opposite. After just looking at it for a few times, the man's expression changed drastically.
"Okay, I... to be honest, Manager Qu... someone... said hello and asked me to deliberately... make things difficult for you on this matter."
"who?"
"It's a man named Yao Bin. He is a friend of the person in charge of our project."
Qu Lianjie took back his mobile phone: "Dad, do you know who this person named Yao Bin is? My good sister is so young."
Qu's father's face was so gloomy that there was no trace of light. Qu Xiaoxiao, who was still stirring the soup, had lost his previous pride and scolded Yao Bin bloody in his heart.
"Xiao Xiao, what's going on?" Qu's father said, "Do you really know that Yao Bin?"
"Dad, this..." Qu Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but saw Qu Lianjie's expression and swallowed it back.
"Dad, because it was introduced by Mr. Liu of the group, everyone attaches great importance to it. My partner and I wasted a lot of energy and time on the GI air conditioner project, and it ended up like this. After my partner knew the truth, he found Liu Boss, I don’t know what kind of coercion and inducement he used, do you know what Boss Liu said?”
His words made Qu Mu's face change drastically.
Qu Lianjie said: "Mr. Liu said, this is what my mother meant."
When Qu's father heard this, he still didn't understand why, so he joined Qu Xiaoxiao and her mother to leave it here to set a trap for their son.
"I know Xiaoxiao is very unhappy about the GI agency matter, but that's the way the business world is. Now you guys are trying to trick me into draining money. I'm stupid, I've been fooled, I have nothing to say, I admit defeat, but I That partner quit, saying that it’s none of my business for your brothers and sisters to fight over the property. Qu Lianjie, if you don’t give me an explanation, I will give you an explanation. In order to appease his anger, I can only borrow money from my friends. I gave him three million. In this case, in order to pay back the money as soon as possible, I had no choice but to make a living by making money quickly, but I didn’t want to lose everything. Now, you will do whatever comes next. Got it." Qu Lianjie picked up the goblet on the table and took a sip of wine, then threw the glass to the ground.
Pa~
The wine glass shattered.
"You two, mother and daughter, are working together to punish me. All right. I'll sell the car and villa right away to make up for the shortfall, and I'll never enter this house again."
Leaving these words behind, he walked outside without looking back.
When Qu's father took a look, all the anger in his stomach disappeared, and he took two steps outside and asked, "Lian Jie, where are you going?"
Qu Lianjie said: "Go back to my hometown and find my grandma."
"Come back, come back." Qu's father said in his heart. Originally, his mother didn't want to see this second-married daughter-in-law. If the old man knew about this, it would be great fun. He hurried to stop his son, but unfortunately After unsuccessfully chasing him outside the door, Masati rushed out with a whimper.
"Lianjie, Lianjie..." After shouting several times but receiving no response, Qu's father returned to the house with a cold face, glanced at Qu's mother coldly, said nothing, and turned to look at Qu Xiaoxiao.
"You are young and do not learn well. You are thinking every day about how to fight for the family property and how to hinder your brother. From today on, your company will not be closed. Please stay at home."
Qu's father picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his hands. He snorted at Qu's mother and turned to leave the restaurant.
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her gloomy mother, and suddenly felt like she was an idiot. You said about the bank loan...how could it be mixed up with...the GI air conditioner project? This time, not only was Qu Lianjie's move to turn back the enemy's sword, but he retreated in order to advance, it was a disaster, and even his mother was affected.
…
At the same time, Andy was called home by Tan Zongming and met Lao Yan who had returned from Daishan.
"My brother...why is he in a nursing home?"
Andy looked at the slender young man in the photo and felt a little emotional.
Lao Yan said: "I only checked the orphanage before, but your words that day reminded me, so I searched around the nearby mental hospitals and nursing homes, and finally found it. At that time, the orphanage was gone, and the adoption Your brother's family wanted to throw him away. After they lost him, the police found him, then lost him again, and found him again. After several attempts, the family paid some money to send him to a nursing home. . Oh, I have been there, and I have seen the child. It seems that he has some mental problems. He often sits alone in a daze, muttering something unknown, but people in the nursing home like it very much. She, especially the dean, took care of him as his own child, and oh, everyone said he was particularly sensitive to numbers.”
After Andy listened to Lao Yan's words, she looked at the young man in the photo. The tight string in her mind suddenly broke. She thought of what happened when she was a child and what she heard from Lin Yue a few days ago.
If I tell you that your brother is mentally retarded, your mother is mentally ill, and there is a half chance that you will have problems with your child, can you treat this matter rationally?
Could it be that... what the Singularity said was a vicious curse was true?
Her breathing became rapid, sweat formed on her forehead, and her hands continued to tremble.
"Andy, Andy, are you okay?" Tan Zongming quickly unscrewed a bottle of Evian water and stuffed it into her hand.
Lao Yan didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. Just as he was about to say some words of comfort, Tan Zongming gave her a look.
Lao Yan understood, nodded, stood up and left.
"Andy, Andy... calm down, calm down."
"Andy, Andy, look at me."
"Andy, stop imagining things."
No matter how Tan Zongming tried to persuade her, she didn't respond. Her eyes were dull and her lips were trembling in a particularly scary way. Until he walked over and held her shoulders, she tried to push him away.
"My mother is mentally ill and my brother is mentally retarded. There is a half chance that the children I will give birth to will have problems in the future. My mother is mentally ill and my brother is mentally retarded. From now on... from now on..."
She kept pulling her hair with her hands, looking unacceptable.
"Andy, who told you this?"
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue... He said that my brother is mentally retarded, my mother is... mentally ill, and I... I also have big problems."
What is Tan Zongming most afraid of in this matter? What he was most afraid of was that she would be hurt, so he had been handling it carefully. However, he never expected that every step he took here was on thin ice, and the man over there directly overturned the table.
"Andy, listen to me." Tan Zongming leaned over, grabbed her shoulders hard, and refused to let go no matter how much she pushed him: "You are a top student at Columbia University, and you have been very rational for more than 30 years. I Tan Zongming Who is Zong Ming? I can trust you to hand over a multi-billion-dollar merger and acquisition case, which proves that I have confidence in you. What Lin said to you is just to make you doubt your ability. This is his intention. The situation in the nursing home is still unclear, and you can’t deny yourself because of what others say until you see it with your own eyes."
Andy passed for a while before raising his head: "I'm going to see my brother, right away, right away, right now..."
"Andy, listen to me, what you need to do most now is to control yourself and calm down. You must go to the nursing home, but not now. Think about it, you haven't seen each other for so many years, your brother's side... You have to prepare yourself mentally for the dean and make arrangements in all aspects."
Andy listened to this, raised the mineral water bottle in his hand and drank several gulps.
Ten minutes later, after comforting Andy and seeing her sleeping on the sofa, Tan Zongming walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked outside and clenched his fists.
"The surname is Lin..."
At this moment, Andy's cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table, rang.
Andy's body shook a little, but he didn't wake up.
Tan Zongming walked over and picked up the phone and took a look. In the middle of the screen were the words "Singularity". After thinking for a while, he pressed the connect button and put it to his ear. A voice so soft that it made people feel numb came from it.
"Andy, you finally answered the phone. I thought you were angry with me for that Lin Yue."
