The courtyard was large and there were many people, but it was completely silent. A strong aura suppressed them. No one dared to say a word, for fear of offending the old man's brow at this juncture.
In the Jiang family, the word "Jiang Yi" is a forbidden word. No one can mention it. Anyone who mentions it will be hit with death. Twelve years ago, someone said it, but it turned out that there was no mention of it for more than ten years. Moving on, it is hard to imagine that if a child of such a wealthy family has not been promoted for more than ten years, his career will be in vain.
But even if there is all kinds of resentment in my heart, I dare not say anything, otherwise, the consequences will be even worse.
The old man walked back and forth in the courtyard three times. When he saw that no one was talking, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down. Don't stand here stupidly. Go and do whatever you should be busy with."
After the words fell, all the children present said: "Old man, let's go first."
The old man didn't look back and sat down on the wicker chair. The crowd quickly disappeared. His eyes looked at the teng tree in front of him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. In the empty and deserted yard, there was a shadow. There was a feeling of loneliness, but soon the sadness in his eyes gradually turned into anger.
The voice of the unfilial son sounded in my ears: Don't say so high-sounding, I'm just your face. Once I meet your requirements and make you lose face, you teach me a lesson like this.
Who I marry is my own business, and no one can stop it, including you. If I have to stop it, then I will leave, leave the Jiang family, and draw a clear line with the Jiang family.
I will live very well, better than when I was in the Jiang family!
With a pop, he smashed the shockingly expensive purple clay teacup into pieces. It is said that there are only five pieces of this purple clay teapot left.
Tea was flowing silently on the ground.
A gentle secretary who was not young in Chinese tunic suit walked out of the courtyard. He shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, there are so many purple clay teapots." He squatted down and picked up the pieces of the teacup on the ground.
The old man said: "Did I arrange a marriage for his son?"
"As I get older, I forget many things."
Secretary Sven said: "The old leader is very strong. Look, the tea cup was smashed so badly that he can't put it back..." The Jiang family can tightly unite a big family like the Nangong family around them. This marriage contract It played a big role, how could it be forgotten, but the dress was not important.
The old man said: "Send someone to meet with that boy..."
The secretary said: "Jiang Yi will definitely not agree."
The old man raised his eyebrows angrily and said: "He couldn't be his own master when he was a baby. How could he be so old and go to college and still not know the choice? Not everyone is as stupid as him. The huge Jiang family, with His useless father, even a fool knows how to choose?"
"He can resist me, but his son doesn't know how to resist him?"
The secretary said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
After paying the fee, Jiang Xiu walked to the teaching building with several classmates. Zhou Jin was studying the Luban Lock. He said: "Archaeologists often have to deal with tombs, and there are many mechanisms to prevent tomb robberies. Therefore, these are all necessary skills to solve Luban Locks. Twelve Luban Locks are too difficult, I can only solve eight blocks."
Zhang Yiwei said: "I'm even worse. I've never played this thing before. I'm interested in archeology and history. It's okay. I'll check it out online later. The omnipotent Internet must have tutorials."
Zhou Jin said: "Come on, you've searched everywhere and you can't find it. This is a secret skill and is not taught to anyone else."
"Ah?" Zhang Yiwei said: "That's too difficult. I've also heard about the archaeological project in the ancient desert city. Because you have to enter the desert, the risk factor is very high. You have to hire a lot of professionals. The staff is really nervous. Now we are waiting for a few important experts, and we will set off as soon as they arrive, Jiang Xiu does not have much time."
Zhou Jin said: "It's so difficult that not many people in the expedition team can solve it. Isn't Qiu Yinru making things difficult? Isn't it necessary to be so serious about asking her to be your girlfriend?"
There were many people and a lot of equipment in the teaching building. The students were very excited to try it. The old professor said excitedly: "The money expert came two days earlier than we expected."
Are the experts here
Jiang Xiu looked around and saw a man in his thirties or forties. This man was rich, a Chinese American, a famous archaeologist and historian.
Qian Deshen said: "I couldn't sleep all night after hearing about this ancient city project. I had this plan as early as three years ago, and finally I have such an opportunity."
The old professor said: "Thanks to Xiaoqiu for getting the sponsorship, otherwise, I don't know how long it would have been delayed."
Qiu Yinru said with a serious face: "I'm just doing my part."
Qian De laughed deeply. This was not the first day he met Qiu Yinru. This little girl is very serious about her work and full of respect for archeology: "Does Xiaoqiu also want to participate this time?"
Qiu Yinru said: "Of course!"
Qian Deshen said: "Okay, women should not be allowed to be men. This time our expedition team will try to control the number of people. The desert is different from other places. It is best to control it within 18 people. I have four people here."
Qiu Yinru said: "The number of people should be under control, so there is no need to worry about this."
The group chatted for a long time.
When Qiu Yinru walked out, Jiang Xiu greeted her and said, "Classmate Qiu, if you have time, I'll buy you a cup of coffee..."
Qiu Yinru said: "No time."
The refusal was straightforward.
Although the pretty face is beautiful, it is very cold, and she looks like she should not be approached by strangers.
Jiang Xiu followed her and saw her walking to the school leadership office building with the treatment. It seemed that she was going to report the case of this expedition team. Jiang Xiu followed her and said, "I won't delay you too much." time."
Qiu Yinru ignored it and ignored it!
Jiang Xiu followed her into the elevator and said, "I don't know if Qiu's words are true. As long as I can unlock the Luban Lock, you will let me go with you."
Qiu Yinru said: "Then have you untied it?"
She didn't believe it. Not to mention that Jiang Xiu had just obtained the Luban Lock. Even if he was given ten or even a hundred days, he might not be able to unlock it.
"Um!"
Jiang Xiu took out the Luban Lock and squatted down. His slender fingers were as dexterous as if they had a life of their own. He manipulated the Luban Lock as he wished. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Luban Lock was unlocked and the twelve components were removed. Neatly placed on the floor of the elevator.
"you… "
Qiu Yinru's beautiful eyes widened with shock. It was so fast that she only saw the phantom of Jiang Xiu's slender fingers outside the Luban Lock, and then the Luban Lock was opened.
"How about it, I should pass."
Originally, if he had found a coffee shop to sit down and dismantle it, he would have looked much more relaxed and relaxed, instead of squatting in the elevator.
"Have you ever dismantled it before?"
Jiang Xiu shook his head. There is a profession in Xianwu Continent called Puppet Master. He can easily break open even more complicated mechanisms with hundreds of thousands of locks, let alone only twelve shackles.
Then he saw Jiang Xiu's hand shaking, and he reassembled the twelve components placed on the floor of the elevator, and handed the Luban lock back to Qiu Yinru: "You should keep your word."
There was a sudden bang, and the elevator suddenly sank. Qiu Yinru screamed loudly in fright, and the elevator stopped instantly. However, the entire elevator was dark and stopped.
"Someone, help, help..."
Qiu Yinru screamed in horror, which was completely different from her usual calm and cold demeanor. It was heartbreaking, hysterical, and completely in a state of affairs.
Jiang Xiu's eardrums hurt from the scream.
In the darkness, Jiang Xiu saw her pretty face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Thinking of her being so cold before, Jiang Xiu couldn't help but laugh. Girls really know how to pretend, but it's also true that such a beautiful woman can't help but laugh. If you pretend to be aloof from others, those boys will be annoyed to death.
"Help, help..."
Qiu Yinru heard Jiang Xiu's laughter and stopped: "You are still laughing, but now life and death hang on a thread. If the elevator falls, our lives will be lost."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke.
Jiang Xiu said: "Someone will come to repair it, and they should be here soon."
I reached out and pressed the rescue button, but there was no response at all. It seemed that the circuit board was burned.
"It doesn't matter. People outside will find someone to come if they find the elevator is not working."
Qiu Yinru's delicate body was pressed against the elevator wall, trembling all over. Then, when Jiang Xiu saw her, he fell softly to the ground and fainted from fright.
