Zhao Ping raised his eyes in disbelief.
He was ready to give up the competition and planned to tell the little girl in the evening and ask her not to wait for him, but he didn't expect his brother to suddenly agree to go to Beijing.
Zhao Ping stammered, "Brother, is it true?"
Zhao Yu glanced at him calmly: "Don't want to go?"
"I want to! I want to!"
If Zhao Ping hadn't been still feeling uneasy, he would have almost jumped up.
Zhao Anan soon learned the news. Her elder and second brothers were going to Beijing, and she watched eagerly. She didn't dare to mention it before because she was afraid that her elder brother would be sad, but she really wanted to go and see the hometown of the eldest lady.
Zhao Anan remembered the proud young lady with a sly smile that winter. The young lady was so beautiful that she always thought she was a fairy when she was a child.
When she grew up and realized that there were no fairies in the world, she still thought that the eldest lady in her memory was incredibly beautiful.
Zhao Anan understood her elder brother's attitude.
No matter who falls in love with the fairy, they will never love anyone else. The eldest lady has become her everlasting dream in this life and her benefactor.
Zhao Anan was a reserved person. She looked at her second brother with envy but did not dare to ask to go to Beijing with him.
Zhao Yu extended his hand to her. The girl's eyes lit up. She held the man's bony hand and asked cautiously, "Brother, can I go too?"
"Well, go get ready."
The little girl cheered, and Zhao Yu looked at his younger brother and sister with his black eyes. For the first time, he realized what kind of person he had become in the past three years. Even the children he had raised were afraid to speak to him.
It was inconvenient for Zhao's mother to travel, so she stayed on Wudong Island.
Zhao Yu happened to have a business deal to discuss in Beijing. He had refused it before, so he went there this time just for the occasion.
In early July, Zhao Yu arrived in Jing City with his younger brothers and sisters and his men.
Zhao Anan held Zhao Ping's hand, with shyness and curiosity in her eyes.
This is the eldest lady’s hometown. It is a big city with a lot of traffic. There are no rivers or huge lakes, no marigolds or peach blossoms. Rows of roadside trees are neatly arranged, and people walk very fast.
Zhao Ping straightened his back. A few years ago, he would have felt uneasy coming to a place like this. However, in the past two years, his elder brother's iron-blooded tactics had developed Wudong very well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the local tyrant in the entire southern region.
As the younger brother of a wealthy and powerful man, Zhao Ping adapted well.
Although Zhao Yu had no plans to settle down in Beijing, he lacked everything except money, so he moved into a newly purchased villa with a large group of people.
The villa area is far away from the Ji family mansion, and he has no intention of meeting the Ji family.
In the case of Dai Ning, the Ji family investigated the situation and found that Shen Tu was suspected of killing Dai Ning, but the Ji family could not help but feel resentful towards Zhao Yu.
Therefore, for such a long time, Ji and Zhao Yu had no cooperation at all.
Zhao Yu's first year of development was not smooth. Later, his father died and he devoted himself to work, and things gradually got better.
"Brother, when will you take the exam?"
"July 12th." Zhao Ping said, "An'an, I heard that the amusement park in Beijing is different from ours. Do you want me to take you there when I have time?"
Zhao Anan subconsciously looked at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu said: "Let Lao Ba follow."
Zhao Ping nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of An An."
A Shi smiled and shook his head. The second young master and the young lady were still children at heart, but Master Zhao was calm and steady since he was young, and his demeanor had become even more extraordinary in recent years. Even A Shi felt sorry for him, as he was a man who was always forced to grow up and constantly losing things.
A Shi glanced at Zhang Manman beside him. There was a hint of admiration in her eyes, which would occasionally fall on Zhao Yu.
Ah Shi sighed in his heart, if Mr. Zhao could get over the past and accept another girl, it would be great. Now he has everything, why should he torture himself like that.
Zhao Ping and Zhao Anan returned to their room.
"Secretary Zhang, Secretary Wang, go back and prepare for the cooperation project that we will discuss with Rui Meng tomorrow."
Zhang Manman was used to Zhao Yu's coldness and workaholic mode, and did not dare to go beyond the rules to persuade him to take a rest. She immediately said, "I understand, Master Zhao, I have already drafted it."
Assistant Wang at the side also smiled and nodded.
As Shi sent the two secretaries out, he saw the disappointment on Zhang Manman's face and quietly comforted her, "Mr. Zhao is like this. You don't know how hard it has been for him these past few years."
Being very young and having nothing at the beginning, many people looked down on Zhao Yu.
He dressed maturely and looked steady every day. I don't know who started it first, but some people called him the mine owner at first, and later they got used to calling him Master Zhao.
People who are older can always be more intimidating than young boys.
Zhang Manman bit her lip and couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhao's wife, has she really..."
How can she be called a wife? It is just wishful thinking and self-deception.
Ah Shi didn't dare to say more, and hesitantly said: "Sister, I know what you mean, but let's not talk about this topic anymore."
"I'm sorry, I've only been here for a year and I don't understand a lot of things. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Brother Shi." Even though she knew it was not good, Zhang Manman was still a little curious, "Have you seen her?"
Ah Shi was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene of that winter when he and the black-faced Old Eight took the eldest daughter into the mountains.
She had fair skin, beautiful face, and cherry red lips. In the glance between her eyebrows, Ah Shi had remembered her for so long.
He sighed and nodded.
Zhang Manman couldn't help but be curious, what kind of woman could make a man like Zhao Ye crazy about her for so many years
The girl on the bed was lying there in a utterly ungraceful manner.
July arrived, and the weather in Fengming was dry and hot. Qingtuan was worried. Chen Jing went back to the underground arena to fight black boxing, and Ji Tian was courting him these two days. Looking at Dai Ning who had no fighting spirit, Qingtuan was anxious, but he couldn't call her.
Annoyed by Tuanzi's urging, Daning took out a small mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Why do I feel like I haven't changed at all?"
If it was because she took good care of herself and still had that tender face of 17 years old, it wouldn't matter, but it was clear that her cup size hadn't grown at all. Why did it feel like she had stopped growing since she signed the contract with Qing Tuan
Fortunately, she developed early, otherwise she would have cried.
Qingtuan felt a little guilty, looked at Daidai, and started to play dead.
Dai Ning smiled, what a fool, she thought she could hide it. She also pretended not to know, and without Qingtuan disturbing her, she rested comfortably for a long time.
In the afternoon, her subordinate told her, "Miss, Li Hu went to Beijing and brought this to you."
Dai Ning took a look at the box of exclusively developed milk and accepted it without any scruples.
She wants the things, but not the people.
At night, Daning was finally willing to go out.
"Guzi, let's go, I'll take you to see the fun!"
Qiu Gu Nan followed her to the place and only then did he understand what the eldest lady meant by the "lively" thing.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she stopped the eldest lady: "This place is very dangerous, let's go somewhere else, okay? A bar, a KTV?"
Dai Ning leaned on her and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Brother Chen Jing is like a father in there. With him around, nothing will happen."
Qiu Gunan had no choice but to take out the card and hand it to the staff.
When the staff member saw the purple gold card clearly, his eyes flashed and he became very respectful: "Please follow me."
He took them through a secret passage. The underground arena was special and the annual membership fee was very high. Even Daning had spent a lot of effort to get this purple gold card in such a secret place.
Although Qiu Gunan has been following the eldest lady, he is not sure what she thinks of Chen Jing. If the eldest lady has taken a fancy to him, then after Chen Jing was injured, she was so heartless that she turned around and went on her own. If she was just teasing him, then it is about time for her to leave, but it seems like she has other plans.
As soon as I walked in, I heard a boiling roar from inside.
"Kill him! Zero, go ahead."
"Kick him in the head and dig his eyes out!"
"Hit me, hit me for me!"
Qiu Gunnan's face twitched. She was a woman who came from the village. During this period, she was ordered by the eldest lady to go to class and learned a lot. However, Qiu Gunnan could not bear such a bloody and horrifying scene for a while.
But the little ancestor beside her raised his lips and looked very interested.
“Wow.”
Qiu Gunan plucked up the courage to follow the young lady's gaze and saw two men on the stage.
A man with dark skin, tall and strong like a mountain, with muscular body, a cut on his head, and sweat pouring down.
The other man, Qiu Gu Nan knew.
It’s Chen Jing.
Compared to the big guys, Chen Jing has a slender figure and his wheat-colored skin is not that exaggerated. He is much thinner, but his figure is just right.
Chen Jing's upper body was exposed, with his abdominal muscles covered by his pants. Qiu Gunan's gaze stopped on the scar on his back, and he felt inexplicably worried for him.
It has only been a short time since his wounds from sulfuric acid healed, and his knife wounds haven't healed yet, yet he ended up in this kind of place.
Dai Ning pulled Qiu Gunan to find a place to sit down, and even she had to admit that Chen Jing's physical fitness was really strong.
This is Qiyunzi, a cheating existence that makes people jealous. It is because of this that he can survive among the wolves. In this world in the book, no one doubts that it is unscientific.
If it happened to someone else, it would take half a year to recover.
The chair has a smart screen, and you can place bets at any time. The roar in her ears was frenzied, and Dai Ning blinked her eyes and bet one million on Chen Jing to win.
Dai Ning glanced at the man on the field. Chen Jing's injury was not fully healed. The big guy also noticed it and hit him specifically on the wound.
This move made many people stand up and shout.
"F-Fuck, kick Zero off!"
"I bet on Venom Fang to win, and Zero is injured. Venom Fang, show him what you can do!"
Qiu Gunan was terrified, fearing that Chen Jing would be kicked down by the sinister big guy called "Venom Fang" as these people said.
But soon, Qiu Gunan discovered that Chen Jing on the stage was very skilled.
He moved very quickly and attacked ruthlessly, and was even as vicious as Du Fang.
Chen Jing's injury pushed the fight to a climax.
Finally, the big guy was punched in the chest and abdomen by Chen Jing. Qiu Gunan was frightened and dared not watch anymore.
Chen Jing won!
Dai Ning took a look at the odds. In a short period of time, the one million she invested turned into three million and two hundred and twenty thousand. The odds were quite impressive. No wonder there were so many crazy people in the underground arena.
Chen Jing's eyes were red with the aftereffects of the fight.
There were crowds of people off the field. He didn't know that Dai Ning was also there. He took the towel handed to him by the person next to him and walked down from the boxing ring.
A girl came up to him and looked at his back worriedly.
"Chen Jing, your wound has split open."
Qingtuan hurriedly said: "Daining, it's Ji Tian!"
The person who came was indeed Ji Tian, an illegitimate daughter who had just returned to the Ji family. It took a lot of effort for Ji Tian to enter the underground arena.
Dai Ning walked over slowly, and Qiu Gu Nan followed behind her.
I was close enough to hear their conversation.
Ji Tian said earnestly: "If you need help, you can come to me. We are already friends, right? Your wound keeps splitting, which is not good."
Chen Jing said, "No need."
He lowered his eyes, wiped the sweat off his body, and put on his clothes.
Ji Tian knew that he needed money. Chen Jing's adoptive mother needed surgery, and he had used all his previous savings to buy a house. Ji Daining was a bottomless pit and spent money without hesitation. Chen Jing indulged her, so his savings were not much.
Ji Tian was repeatedly rejected by the man in front of her, and she felt a little angry.
Fortunately, she had a strong psychological quality. She bit her lip and said, "I, I am different from my sister. I am sincere to you, Chen Jing. I am about to leave. Can't you give me a chance?"
Before Chen Jing could answer, someone chuckled.
Hearing the laughter, Ji Tian's face changed. She looked at the girl who was walking towards her with hatred, Ji Daining!
Dai Ning had an innocent look on her face: "I'm so touched, brother. She's so sincere. Please consider agreeing to her request."
Chen Jing didn't react at first, but he looked at Dai Ning coldly after hearing that.
Qiu Gunan felt that his eyes were particularly cold, and was annoyed by the eldest daughter's reckless behavior, but in his heart, he looked down on the second daughter of the Ji family. He was stirring up discord behind her back, and even portrayed himself as so noble.
Chen Jing didn't even look at them, picked up his things and walked out.
Ji Tian glared at Dai Ning. They had a falling out a long time ago and there was no longer any peaceful coexistence between them. Dai Ning leaned against the pillar with a gloating look on her face, as if she was mocking her.
Seeing that Dai Ning had no intention of catching up, Ji Tian caught up with Chen Jing.
Chen Jing came by bike, the summer wind was dry. Ji Tian's eyes were red, and before Chen Jing got on the car, she stopped him: "You saw it all, she doesn't care about you at all. How am I worse than her? I am sincere to you and will never lie to you, Chen Jing, I can even stay for you!"
Passersby watched the excitement. A pitiful and pretty girl, with tears in her eyes, was full of courage and affection.
Chen Jing put his hands in his pockets and looked at her quietly.
He was not sure if someone else here would be moved by Ji Tian, but strangely enough, he was not moved at all by such words.
He was even thinking about what Daning said in the cold drink shop. She said aggrievedly that the second young lady had taken away the love of her family.
Chen Jing was annoyed for a moment that Dai Ning had just laughed at him and asked him to think about it. He even had a thought in his mind to just agree to Ji Tian.
If... If Dai Ning had any sincerity, would she not smile so indifferently
But as soon as this vengeful thought appeared in his mind, he eliminated it.
He is not a 17 or 18-year-old boy with a second-year syndrome, but a mature man. The idea is simply ridiculous.
He shook his head to express his refusal, took a long step forward, started the car and drove away.
Ji Tian didn't expect that this wouldn't work. She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the direction where Chen Jing drove away. She really couldn't figure out what was so good about Ji Daining! She threw away her reserve and imitated Ji Daining's shamelessness, and just went all out, but Chen Jing still didn't buy it.
Qingtuan inside was very anxious: "Daining, let's chase him out quickly, why did you get angry with Chen Jing just now?"
Dai Ning walked out slowly, passed by Ji Tian without even looking at her.
"Stupid group."
Only when it catches your eye and touches your heart will you be angry.
The person who loves her deeply will go back to her even if he is told to go away.
Qiu Gunan: "Miss, where are we going?"
"Go see your brother again and say goodbye to him." Dai Ning said with a smile, "After all, it's time for me to go home."
As soon as Chen Jing opened the door, he realized something was wrong.
A man and a woman on the sofa looked over. Chen Lianxing's eyes were full of fear. She said in a panic while putting on her clothes, "Brother."
Another unruly man, with his chest exposed, looked at Chen Jing nonchalantly and patted Chen Lianxing's face: "Your brother?"
Chen Lianxing regretted it very much. She shouldn't have agreed to take this rich second generation home for excitement. She forgot the time and didn't expect Chen Jingdu to come back.
She was really afraid that Chen Jing would attack her "boyfriend" directly like she did when she was a child.
But Chen Jing just frowned, closed the door and went out.
Chen Lianxing couldn't put it into words, and she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. When the rich second generation pulled her and leaned towards her with an evil smile again, she lost interest and her smile seemed a little forced.
Chen Jing went downstairs and saw the girl under the street light. His face darkened and he turned around to walk in another direction.
"Chen Jing, stop!"
Chen Jing paused, didn't look back, but didn't continue walking. Dai Ning walked up with satisfaction.
"Hey, you didn't agree to that little white lotus, did you?"
She even said that others were little white lotuses. He lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes, not wanting to say a word.
"It's so hot outside, and there are mosquitoes. Let's go upstairs and talk."
Chen Jing reached out and grabbed her arm: "Right here."
Dai Ning gave him a strange look, and Chen Jing pursed his lips: "What do you want to say?"
"I'm going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, brother. I really don't want to leave you."
Chen Jing had a blank expression on his face, and the word "liar" was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Dai Ning pouted and didn't bother to say anything sweet: "Do you still remember what you promised them?"
Daning stuffed the audio-equipped mobile phone into his hand.
"Ji Tian harmed me. She coveted my family's property. Since you are so powerful, why don't you return her a bottle of sulfuric acid?" When she talked about returning a bottle of sulfuric acid to Ji Tian, it was like she used to act coquettishly and say, "Brother, I want to eat cherries today."
Chen Jing felt a chill in his heart. He was clearly trying to harm someone, but the girl in front of him was still smiling and acting coquettishly towards him.
"You promised." Dai Ning held his hand and seduced him, "Brother, help me, I will protect you and won't let anything happen to you. If you help me get revenge, I will marry you, okay?"
