Divorce is nothing but an emotional issue, it is the grudges of the previous generation. As the saying goes, a son should not blame his father. If it was just because of the divorce of her parents, even if Liu Xi did not like her father, she would definitely not have much hatred towards him.
But the fact is not so. Yang Qi felt a strong hatred from Liu Qian's tone, and it was definitely not just because of the lack of fatherly love.
"Actually..." Xie Guangyao opened his mouth and sighed, "This matter is related to the reason why Zheng Zuoming divorced."
"Isn't their divorce due to relationship problems?" Yang Qi was stunned. He instinctively thought that Liu Xi's parents' divorce was related to relationship problems, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case.
"If only it were that simple." Xie Guangyao curled his lips and continued, "Speaking of it, the Zheng family is also a family of scholars that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Even during the wars in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the Zheng family did not suffer much loss."
Yang Qi was stunned. He did not expect that the Zheng family had such a powerful background. There were not many scholarly families that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Even a dynasty might be destroyed after hundreds of years, let alone a small family.
"The Zheng family was criticized in the early years, and Zheng Zuoming, as a direct descendant, was sent to Shicheng to work as a small clerk. It was also at that time that Uncle Zheng married a dancer from Shicheng." Xie Guangyao said.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He didn't know Zheng Zuoming's background, but he had seen information about Zheng Zuoming's marriage to Liu Qian's mother on the Internet.
"They were in love after they got married, but later the Zheng family was rehabilitated and a large number of Zheng family members were given important positions, especially Zheng Zuomin, who was a direct descendant of the Zheng family." Xie Guangyao said helplessly, "Several older generations in the Zheng family felt that Liu Qian's mother was just like an actress, so they firmly disagreed with her marriage and even forced the two to divorce. In order to return to the family, Zheng Zuomin agreed."
Even without Xie Guangyao saying what happened next, Yang Qi could guess it. Under pressure from the top leaders of the Zheng family, Liu Xi's parents divorced, and Liu Xi's mother raised Liu Xi alone.
Back then, the Zheng family did not allow Liu Xi's mother to enter the house, and now the career that Liu Xi is engaged in can be regarded as what the Zheng family called an actor. In this case, it would be strange for Liu Xi to have a good impression of the Zheng family.
"I didn't expect the Zheng family to be such a family." Yang Qi said disdainfully. When they were down and out, they didn't speak out and just acquiesced. But when they became prosperous, they spoke out and even forced them to divorce. You have to know that in that era, divorce was looked down upon.
You can imagine how difficult it is for a single mother with a daughter.
"These scholarly families are like this." Xie Guangyao shrugged. As the grandson of the Xie family, he had seen a lot about those so-called scholarly families.
Not to mention these scholarly families, even some wealthy people in Hong Kong are opposed to film and television stars marrying into their families. Even many film and television stars, after giving birth to children, are ultimately unable to marry into wealthy families.
"Then why does the Zheng family want to recognize this descendant now?" Yang Qi asked curiously. If the Zheng family had fought for Liu Xi when Zheng Zuoming and his wife divorced, he could still understand it, but now Liu Xi is already a popular star.
I'm afraid the Zheng family would not like this identity. If they don't like it, why would they suddenly want to recognize this descendant after more than ten years of no contact? If the Zheng family suddenly had a conscience and wanted Liu Qian to recognize her as their master, he would never believe it.
"I don't know the specific reason." Xie Guangyao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying uncertainly, "Uncle Zheng has never had any children. Maybe it's because of this reason."
Yang Qi rolled his eyes. If it was an ordinary person, it might be possible. The Zheng family was a big family. Although they were not as powerful as the Xie and Qin families, their foundation was even deeper than the Qin and Xie families. It would be a joke for such a big family to fail for this reason!
"Since goddess Sissi doesn't want to go back, you should stop being a bad guy." Yang Qi curled his lips.
"Do you think I want to?" Xie Guangyao rolled his eyes at Yang Qi. If Zheng Zuoming and his father were not comrades-in-arms, how could he possibly get involved in such family affairs.
"Anyway, after today, I won't get involved in this matter anymore." Xie Guangyao said calmly.
He had already disregarded his own face and had looked for Liu Xi twice, which was considered as his best efforts. Since Liu Xi did not intend to go back, he had no intention of continuing to help Zheng Zuomin. After all, in this kind of matter, it was rare for him, an outsider, to ask for help. He could not pester Liu Xi, and he could not bring himself to do so.
"Since you are in Qingzhou, why not stay a few more days? I can accompany you to visit Qingzhou." Yang Qi said with a smile.
Xie Guangyao came to Qingzhou at his invitation. As the host, Yang Qi also planned to accompany him around.
"I'm afraid it's not possible this time. I have to go back tomorrow. My grandfather has not been in good health recently. If you hadn't asked me and Liu Qian happened to be here, I might not have come." Hearing this, Xie Guangyao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
With his personality, he would not miss out if there was something to play with, but this time, it was not possible. His grandfather had not been in good health recently, and as the grandson, he naturally had to stay by his side.
"Is your grandfather in good health?" Yang Qi couldn't help but ask.
"What's good about it? Grandpa is old and has some injuries from his youth..." Xie Guangyao sighed.
Xie Guangyao's grandfather was also a general, and his status was even higher than that of Old Qin. Although his physical condition was better than that of Old Qin, a general who came from that era and had experienced many battles might not be in very good condition nowadays even if his health was still okay.
If he had a blood jadeite on him, Yang Qi wouldn't mind giving one to Xie Guangyao. Unfortunately, that kind of treasure is hard to come by. Even at the Myanmar public auction, he didn't find a second one.
Xie Guangyao had important matters to attend to, and Yang Qi couldn't keep him. After the exhibition, Yang Qi and Shen Yuxuan invited Xie Guangyao to dinner, which was considered as their hospitality.
In the evening, Shi Dong also reported today's turnover. Since the high-end jadeite had not yet been sold, the turnover was not very high. But after all, it was an opening, so there were some discounts. The sales volume for one day was as high as several million, and the profit alone was nearly one million.
Of course, since it was just opened, as the store stabilized, it was good to have a profit of 100,000 yuan a day, and this was because the profit margin of high-end jade was large enough. If it were an ordinary jewelry store, it would be good to have a profit of 50,000 yuan a day.
"Whether you can make a name for yourself depends on tomorrow." Shen Yuxuan said in a deep voice.
Tomorrow, high-end jadeite will be on sale. These glass-type and high-ice-type jadeite are the main source of profit for this boutique. The reason why antique shops are said to be closed for three years and then open for three years is because high-end items have greater profit margins. (To be continued)
