Chapter 754: Miscalculated

~7 min read 1,348 words

Seeing Jian Qiu buy a gift for Yuan Lu, Yuan Liying was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but blame herself.

If it were before, it would be fine, but now the family is not short of money, and she hasn't seen her niece for more than ten years. Returning from the capital, she didn't even buy a gift.

There is no way to regret it, just make up for it later.

"Since your sister-in-law gave it to you, just accept it."

"Take it!" Jian Qiu put the necklace back in the box and stuffed it into Yuan Lu's hand.

"There's more!" Jian Qiu took out a Seagull ladies' watch and a Walkman from her bag, "This watch is a gift from your aunt, and this Walkman is a gift from your eldest sister, Xiao Qin. She left it with me, so I'll give it to you together."

Yuan Liying was stunned again, then smiled. Where could she find such a beautiful, generous, and understanding daughter-in-law? This is definitely a blessing she cultivated for several lifetimes.

"Put on the watch quickly!" Yuan Liying took the watch anxiously and put it on her niece's wrist herself, "Beautiful, really beautiful!"

"Thank you, Aunt!" Yuan Lu also liked it very much, then looked at Zhou Anqin.

Yuan Liying introduced: "Your eldest sister Zhou Anqin, this is Zhou Anning, your younger sister, six years old this year."

"Thank you, eldest sister!" Yuan Lu called out.

Zhou Anqin asked with a smile: "Are Grandpa, Grandma, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt all well?"

"All well!" Yuan Lu wanted to say something else, but felt someone pulling her clothes. Looking down, it was the fourth child grabbing her clothes, her little head tilted up.

"Do I have to call you sister?"

Yuan Lu squatted down: "Yes, you have to call me sister."

"Hello, sister!" The fourth child called out very obediently, then looked at Yuan Lu with eager eyes, full of expectation.

But Yuan Lu was still a child; how could she see the little thoughts of this girl?

Yuan Lu responded happily, then picked up the fourth child and kissed her on the face.

The fourth child turned her head, her little face very disappointed.

When Zhou Andong looked at the fourth child, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. This little girl probably thought that if she called her sister, there would be a red envelope.

Jian Qiu also saw it and held back from laughing out loud. This little rascal.

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong turned around and gave a few instructions to Wu Huilin, Qian Zhen, and Zhang Xuan, then said goodbye to Wang Shouqu, Li Jiutang, Zhao Qun, and the villagers who were joining the fun.

"Get in the car!"

The whole family got into the car, and until the car drove far away, Wang Shouqu and his group were still waving.

Back at the winery, Yao Jun was explaining something to twenty-seven security guards.

Zhou Andong walked over, with Wu Chao following behind.

"How is it? Everything is installed, right?"

"Two Mercedes, three Accords, plus President Gu's 212, and two vans, all installed."

Yao Jun nodded, then pointed to Wu Chao, "This is your captain, Wu Chao. Everyone is familiar with him, right?"

"Familiar!" The deafening shout resounded over the winery. There were less than thirty people, but it gave people a momentum of thousands of troops and horses. This is the soldier of this era.

Wu Chao said to Wang Wentian, Zhao Hong, and He Ze: "You drive the 212 in front, keep a distance of two kilometers, and report at any time if there is any situation."

"Yes!"

The four people stood at attention, saluted, and turned to get into the 212.

Wu Chao waved to the others: "Get in the car!"

Twenty-seven people each got into their cars, and subsequently, Wu Chao and Chen Zhaojiang also got into the RV.

Zhou Andong gave Yao Jun a few instructions, and just as he was about to get into the car, he heard Yao Jun shout.

"Wait!"

Zhou Andong turned back, and Yao Jun said with a smile: "There is one thing I almost forgot."

"What is it?" Zhou Andong asked curiously.

"Zhang Xingfei!" Yao Jun said: "Zhang Deyou's illegitimate son, after running to Xiangjiang, committed another crime and was sent back. It is said that Zhang Deyou is very likely to have been murdered by him, and he is now being detained in the detention center."

Zhou Andong said: "Zhang Xingfei and Zhang Deyou have nothing to do with each other."

"Ah?" Yao Jun was stunned, "How can that be? This matter has spread, Zhang Xingfei is Zhang Deyou's illegitimate son."

Zhou Andong laughed: "Let me tell you, Zhang Xingfei is very likely Qu Hongqi's son."

Yao Jun was a little confused. This is too messy. By the time he came to his senses, the motorcade had already driven out of the gate.

………………

In the capital, Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui, these two guys, got together again, eating and flipping through newspapers.

"Why isn't it there?" Wu Hongkang simply put down his chopsticks and looked carefully at the newspapers one by one.

Zhang Shenghui flipped through a few, then gave up, picked up his wine glass in frustration, and drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.

"Stop flipping, it won't be there."

Wu Hongkang looked unwilling: "No, Zhou Andong donated two million, and we also donated two million. Why is Zhou Andong praised so high, and we are not even mentioned?"

"Sigh!" Zhang Shenghui sighed, "This time it was a real miscalculation."

Wu Hongkang picked up another newspaper, still nothing, and threw it aside.

"It's all news about Lian Xiangzhi's apology. I have to say, this guy's speed in handling the crisis is really fast."

Zhang Shenghui looked down on Lian Xiangzhi from the bottom of his heart: "If the Academy of Sciences hadn't taken the blame for him this time, he would have had no way to reverse the negative impact other than jumping off a building."

"That's why!" Wu Hongkang picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, "Not to mention Lian Xiangzhi's character, he still has ability."

"That's true." Zhang Shenghui had to admit this fact, "Otherwise, why would the leaders of the Academy of Sciences come forward to take the blame for him and donate three million?"

Wu Hongkang suddenly laughed: "If it weren't for eating this wave of human blood buns, Lian Xiangzhi wouldn't have donated even 200,000. I guess he never dreamed that he didn't eat the human blood buns, and in the end, he lost another three million."

Zhang Shenghui picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the glass: "I suspect that Lian Xiangzhi was pitted by Zhou Andong."

Wu Hongkang pondered for a moment: "It's actually quite possible, because in this whole affair, only that bastard Zhou Andong profited in the end. Look at the last two days; not to mention Very Cola and Iced Black Tea, just look at Jiang Xiaobai—the sales are skyrocketing."

………………

Arong Banner, that ancient town, Zhenxing Village!

Yuan Ying is twenty-six years old this year. After graduating from a specialized secondary school at eighteen, she returned to the village and became an accountant.

Having just finished lunch at noon, she sent her child to preschool, and then heard the village committee's loudspeaker calling her, telling her to come to the village office.

All the way there, she was wondering, there's nothing going on in the village, so why call her to the village office in the middle of the day?

Arriving at the village office, she saw the old branch secretary holding a long-stemmed pipe, sitting under the willow tree in front of the village branch office, puffing away.

"Uncle Lao Guan, it's the middle of the day, why did you call me to the village office?"

Guan Shanyuan held his long-stemmed pipe and tapped it against the sole of his shoe.

"I heard, Liying, your aunt's son, is a big boss now?"
