Chapter 178

Just as the Xiao family members were crying and cursing Ye Chen, two Rolls-Royces slowly stopped at the entrance of the Xiao family villa.

Immediately, six bodyguards in black suits got out of the two cars. One of them opened the rear door of the second car, and a middle-aged man of about fifty years old stepped out.

This man was dressed very gorgeously in a top-tier handmade British suit, and he really did look quite imposing.

As soon as the middle-aged man got out of the car, he held a thick Xiao family genealogy and asked his assistant beside him, "Is this the Jin Ling Xiao family?"

The assistant nodded and said, "Back to Mr. Xiao, I have already confirmed it through the civil affairs system. This is indeed the Jin Ling Xiao family."

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded, looked at the Xiao family, and sighed, "I didn't expect the Xiao family here in Jin Ling to look so down-and-out. They really are poor relatives..."

The assistant hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, why don't we just not go? It's quite annoying to get involved with these poor ghosts."

The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly and said, "Although the Xiao family of this branch in Jin Ling is already five generations removed from our family, according to my father, during the War of Resistance, the people of the Jin Ling Xiao family saved his life. Before he passed away, he always wanted to find them to thank them in person, but he was bedridden and never had the chance to come over. No matter what, I must come here on his behalf to fulfill this wish, and by the way, organize the ancestors' genealogy and write their branch into it as well."

The assistant asked curiously, "Mr. Xiao, what is the story behind this history you mentioned?"

The middle-aged man said, "Back then, the Xiao family was still very large, and the whole family lived in one village. Later, the invaders came, and there was war, so everyone scattered to save their lives. My father and the ancestors of this family were distant cousins, and the two of them fled together. My father was hit by a stray bullet and almost died, and it was the old master of their family who carried my father and escaped."

The assistant then exclaimed, "So there was such a connection."

"Yes." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Alright, Ma San, go knock on the door!"

Inside the Xiao residence, the whole family was sitting together, sobbing and weeping sorrowfully. Suddenly hearing the doorbell, Xiao Changgan hurriedly wiped away his tears, walked into the courtyard, and opened the gate.

Seeing a middle-aged man standing outside the door who was a few years older than himself with an arrogant demeanor, and seeing the six bodyguards beside him and the two Rolls-Royces parked behind him, he knew it was a big shot, so he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and asked him, "Are you a descendant of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Changgan nodded subconsciously, "Yes, my surname is Xiao. What's the matter?"

The middle-aged man introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Xiao Yiqian, the head of the Yan Jing Xiao family."

"Yan Jing Xiao family?" Xiao Changgan asked in surprise, "What does that mean? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "Our ancestors were one family, so we can be considered distant relatives. My father and your father should have been distant relatives, so coming to us, we can also be considered relatives."

Xiao Changgan asked in surprise, "Are you also a member of the Xiao family?"

"Yes." Xiao Yiqian nodded and said, "The reason I came to visit this time is mainly entrusted by my father before he passed away, to come to your house to thank your old master in person. In addition, I hope to get to know you all and have more contact in the future."

As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Xiao Changgan, saying, "This is my business card."

Xiao Changgan took the business card, took one look, and was dumbfounded.

Chairman of Qiancheng Group, Xiao Yiqian?

This Qiancheng Group was a very famous listed group!

Xiao Changgan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Oh my, so it's Chairman Xiao. I've long admired your name, long admired your name!"

After finishing, he hurriedly explained, "Chairman Xiao, I don't know what connection your father had with my father? My father, the old master, passed away more than three years ago."

Xiao Yiqian sighed and said, "Oh, that's really a pity. My father also passed away last year. Before he left, he was still muttering about wanting to see his life-saving benefactor. I didn't expect the benefactor to have left a step before him..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yiqian sighed endlessly, "I guess these two old brothers haven't seen each other for decades, maybe they've met again over there."

Xiao Changgan nodded repeatedly and said humbly, "Chairman Xiao, please come in and sit!"

Xiao Yiqian gave a hum and smiled, "Then I'll disturb you!"

"No disturbance, no disturbance!"

Xiao Changgan hurriedly welcomed Xiao Yiqian into the door, walked through the courtyard, and came to the living room. He then hurriedly said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Mom! Chairman Xiao Yiqian, the chairman of the Yan Jing Qiancheng Group, is here!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was shocked!

Qiancheng Group?

This was a famous A-share listed group!

How did their chairman find his way to her house?

Although she was very suspicious, she still got up to welcome him very excitedly and said, "Oh my! Welcome, Chairman Xiao, for your grand arrival. Please forgive me, the old lady, for failing to welcome you from afar!"

"Not at all, not at all!" Xiao Yiqian smiled and arched his hands slightly. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Weiwei, who had just finished crying for a long time, with red eyes and was heartbroken. At this glance, he immediately felt that this girl was beautiful, and her pitiful appearance really made him feel pity, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

Xiao Weiwei was in a state of collapse at this moment and did not notice this new guest in the house, who was quietly sizing her up with his greedy gaze.

Old Mrs. Xiao, while inviting Xiao Yiqian to the seat of honor, couldn't hide her excitement and said, "I really didn't expect Chairman Xiao to come to our house. It really makes our humble home shine!"

"You are too polite." Xiao Yiqian smiled and said, "You must be the old matriarch of the Xiao family, right?"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Chairman Xiao, just call me Old Mrs. Xiao. No need to be so polite."

Xiao Yiqian nodded and said, "The reason I came this time is because of a last wish of my father."

As he spoke, he told the story of his father and the old master of the Xiao family from back in the day.

The ancestors of the Xiao family were in a small mountain village in Nanguang Province. Almost everyone in that village had the surname Xiao, belonging to a large family that had developed for hundreds of years. Because the family had branched out too much, when it developed to a scale of thousands of people back then, most of them were already five generations removed, and the blood relationship was very weak, not even counting as a blood relationship.

At that time, Xiao Yiqian's father and the old master Xiao were both teenagers. The two of them could barely be considered distant relatives if you counted back seven or eight generations, but the two of them had a very good private friendship, which could be considered a life-and-death friendship.

Later, they suffered from aggression, and the Xiao family fled in a hurry, falling apart. Xiao Yiqian's father was lucky that the old master Xiao did not abandon him, so he managed to save his life.

Later, everyone was separated in the flames of war, so they could never find each other again.

Xiao Yiqian's father kept this matter in mind until he died, so he instructed Xiao Yiqian to find a way to find the benefactor and come to thank him.

However, Xiao Yiqian didn't take it seriously. Although he promised his father, after his father passed away, he threw the matter to the back of his mind.

It wasn't until a few days ago that he kept having nightmares, dreaming that the old man came back to find him, complaining that he didn't keep his word. Only then did he find a fortune-telling master to take a look. The master said that the old man's last wish was strong, and if he didn't fulfill it for him, he was afraid he would come to his dreams to find him again.

With no other choice, Xiao Yiqian spent money to hire people to search everywhere, and finally found clues to the Jin Ling Xiao family.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao was so excited she was about to cry.

This was truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, you find a new path"!

Qiancheng Group was a listed group with a market value of tens of billions. If Xiao Yiqian just moved his fingers, he might be able to help the Xiao family survive a desperate situation!
