Peaceful journey

The Qiu family's charity party was held as scheduled, on the day of Xia Shuyun's 50th birthday.Xia Shuyun has passed away for many years, and holding a birthday for the deceased, although the rumors are not very pleasant and taboo, but the Qiu family is the host, and no one who is invited dares not to come.The Qiu family is very powerful, and the people they invited were all famous nobles. It would be foolish to miss this opportunity to make connections because of taboo.

It was said that it was a charity gala, in order to accumulate blessings for his deceased wife, the auction was on Qiu Wensheng's collection, and all the proceeds from the sale would be donated to the Hope Project.

Qiu Wensheng did this suddenly, firstly, he wanted to express his position with the Xia family in the capital, as a show of affection, and secondly, he took this opportunity to lead Qiuyuan on a clear road, so that people would know that Qiu Wensheng not only had one daughter, And a son.

At the beginning, the Qiu family was not considered a top wealthy family in Haishi, but the Xia family in the capital was a real century-old family with a huge root system and luxuriant branches.

That year when Xia Shuyun came to Haishi for a visit, she fell in love with Qiu Wensheng at first sight, and she was determined to marry him. Qiu Wensheng refused. He originally had a girlfriend who was like him, but his father Qiu Guohua made the Qiu family even better in order to get the support of the Xia family. On the first floor, he agreed to the marriage and offered a sum of money to let his girlfriend leave.

Qiu Wensheng married Xia Shuyun, and Qiu Guohua made up his mind. Xia Shuyun divided 10% of the shares to her as soon as she entered the house. Later, when she became pregnant, he made a will. % of the shares to ensure Xia Shuyun's status in the Qiu family.In this way, with the help of Xia's family, the Qiu family's business flourished day by day, successfully becoming a top-notch wealthy family, and becoming a top celebrity in Haishi.

The Xia family helped Qiu Wensheng because of Xia Shuyun, but that year when Xia Shuyun committed suicide, the Xia family's attitude immediately became indifferent. Except for being gentle with Qiu Tong, the two families had no contact for many years after that, and naturally there would be no help from the Xia family. .

But now that the Qiu family has established a firm foothold in Haishi, they no longer need the support of others.Qiu Wensheng believed that Qiu's family and Xia's family were on the same level now, so he gained confidence.Qiu Yuan has been hidden by him for many years. He dared not let him appear in the public because of the Xia family in the early years. In the hands of the evil girl, let her squander it all?

He has a bad relationship with Xia Shuyun. After Xia Shuyun gave birth to Qiutong, she suffered from postpartum depression. He seldom slept with her.If Xia Shuyun gave birth to a boy, he would not take Qiuyuan back, but Qiutong is not only a girl, but also hates him to the bone, he cannot and dare not give Qiuyuan to her.

Qiutong was so crazy, he sometimes thought, if he wasn't her father, Qiutong would have killed him, just like choking Qiuyuan's neck that night.

This child is actually very similar to him, vicious and vicious, he will do anything to achieve his goals, he will hide his edge, and he knows how to accumulate strength. If she is allowed to grow up, she will definitely push him down.He hasn't enjoyed enough power, and he hasn't had enough of that high seat.That's why he cultivated Qiuyuan. Qiuyuan was stupid and didn't know it. At least he was obedient, and obedient was good. If he gave him a bone, he would wag his tail and come up to him. If he didn't give it, he wouldn't dare to grab it.

Only those who are easy to control can make him feel at ease, but rebellious like Qiutong, he can't control it at all.Apart from being paranoid about her mother's death and fighting against him for years, he didn't even find out that she had anything else to value.Only those with weaknesses are easier to deal with, and she is cold-hearted, doesn't care about relatives, and doesn't value money. He even feels that she doesn't seem to expect to inherit the Qiu family at all, she just wants to see him and Qiu Yuan unhappy, and she will be happy.

Therefore, such a person is capable of anything, whether it is killing Qiu Yuan or bringing down the entire Qiu family for revenge, he will never underestimate her madness.

Qiu Yuan did not appear at this charity gala.

An unexpected person came, the eldest son of the head of the Xia family, Qiu Tong's cousin Xia Qinglan.Xia Shuyun has two older brothers. The elder brother Xia Ming is in politics, and the second brother Xia Duo is in business. Xia Duo is the head of the Xia family on the surface. Now also sits on a chair with a handle.

Xia Qinglan came alone. Qiu Wensheng handed over the invitation letter to Xia's family, but he never thought that someone would actually come.So when he entered, Qiu Wensheng was talking with his business partners in the hall, only Qiu Tong was waiting at the door, and when he saw someone coming, he greeted him with a smile.

"Cousin, long time no see." She wore a deep red fishtail skirt today, which outlined her enchanting curves. Her curly chestnut hair was coiled up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone. Her makeup was exquisite and red. Lips are charming.

She came over and hugged him lightly.

Xia Qinglan was very gentle and handsome, with a slight smile on her lips, dressed in a light gray suit, with a gentle and refined demeanor, like a nobleman.

"Cousin Qiutong, father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." He replied softly in her ear.

"Everything is fine, so uncle don't have to worry." Qiu Tong took him by the arm and led him inside.The Qiu family's mansion has specially built an auditorium just to hold this kind of banquet. At this moment, people are already sitting here and there.

She led him into the door, and Xu Jiasi happened to find her. Seeing that she was holding a young man with a noble temperament and a fair face, she opened her eyes wide and blurted out: "Sister Tong, you changed again." Have a relationship? How long has Lin Shu been with you?"

Qiutong stopped, saw the cousin beside him smiling and looked over, and hurriedly said: "This is my cousin! Xu Jiasi, can you talk through your head?"

As soon as Xu Jiasi heard it, she knew that she had misunderstood, so she approached Xia Qinglan with a smile and said hello: "Hello, cousin."

Xia Qinglan smiled slightly and nodded at her.

Xia Qinglan's eyebrows are warm, and his eyes are always soft. His facial features are very good, his eyebrows are handsome, his nose is straight and his lips are thin, and he smiles slightly. Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Qiu Tong took him to a seat, and was immediately pulled aside by Xu Jiasi, who asked her gossipingly, "Hey, this cousin of yours is from your grandfather's house? How come I never knew?"

Qiutong looked at her carefully, and said slowly: "I have three uncles, four or five cousins, do I have to tell you all of them?"

Xu Jiasi didn't hesitate, and sighed to herself: "Your cousin is really good-looking."

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"Hmm...that." Xu Jiasi hesitated, "Will Chu Lin'an come tonight?"

Qiutong smiled unsurprisingly, "How would I know? I sent him an invitation letter, and the feet are on his body. I can't decide whether he will come or not, right?"

Xu Jiasi was a little disappointed, and looked sleepy: "I just asked him on the phone if he would come, and he said it would depend on the situation, and he would come if he had nothing to do, but I haven't seen him yet."

Qiu Tong glanced at her, and laughed brightly in her eyes: "Then you and I wait at the door to welcome guests, and jump on him when he comes."

"Okay!" Xu Jiasi was waiting for this sentence, and quickly agreed.

"Nothing." Qiu Tong scoffed at her.

Never thought that Chu Lin'an really came.At the banquet where most of the others were dressed in suits and leather shoes, he was wearing a sportswear and came under the moonlight.

Chu Lin'an doesn't look like a rich second generation at all, this is recognized by the upper class young circles in Haishi.His eyelids are always drooping, his eyes are lazy and indifferent when looking at people, and he doesn't like to groom himself. He has a handsome face, but he has been running outside in the wilderness all year round looking for relics, and his skin is tanned.

Seeing him, Xu Jiasi's eyes lit up in an instant, and Pidiandian ran up to him, circling him in circles. She kept losing track of him, and opened her mouth to ask, "Brother Lin'an, why are you dressed like this? I'll take you Are you going to change your clothes?"

Chu Lin'an glanced at her lazily, and said slowly, "I'm too lazy to change."

Turning his head to Qiutong, he corrected his posture, and the expression on his face was not so lazy, he said: "Qiutong, my condolences."

This "sorrow" is for Xia Shuyun.

Qiu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed suddenly after a few seconds, teasingly said: "Don't think that if you say something nice, I will praise you for wearing this outfit. Really, you will definitely look good in this outfit. Believe it or not?"

Chu Lin'an frowned, and before he could speak, Xu Jiasi who was next to him jumped up and said, "Hey, my brother Lin'an is so handsome, even if he's wearing a sack, he attracts a lot of attention! Let's go, brother Lin'an, I'll take you in."

She left with Chu Lin'an on her arm, and Chu Lin'an let her lead him into the door, still walking slowly, and nodded helplessly at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong watched their backs disappear, and was full of thoughts for a while.

In this charity party, none of the people who came said their condolences to her. On the surface, it was to celebrate the birthday of his deceased wife, but no one knew that this was just a cover-up. The real purpose was that Qiu Wensheng wanted to promote the status of the Qiu family and Win over business partners.

He likes to stand on a high place, and he likes to be sought after by others. Watching the guests carefully compliment and flatter him, Wan Bin came to congratulate everyone, his self-esteem can be greatly satisfied, and he was constrained by the Xia family for a long time in his early years. The obsession with power and position runs deep.

There are banquets every once in a while at the Qiu House, which are held for various reasons. Qiu Wensheng specially built a reception and banquet venue in the house. Although he is the only one living in the huge Qiu House, it is always very lively. Qiu Tong is also organized by Only then moved out early.This time the party also borrowed the name of a dead person, Xia Shuyun. Qiutong felt disgusted, but she was still immature and unable to resist.

No one cares about so many guests. Today is her mother Xia Shuyun's 50th birthday.

But they all remembered that when they talked with Qiu Wensheng, they praised him, what a good man, affectionate!

Oh, it's ridiculous.Those who are truly affectionate are buried deep in the ground, while those who are unkind and ungrateful use dead people as rafts to receive false praise.

The author has something to say:

Qiu Tong: Human beings are like a piece of paper. It is white at first, but it is the easiest to be dyed black.The human heart is greedy and ugly, the world is like this, and I am no different.

But that kid, was different.
