Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

You have to be ruthless in life, otherwise you will suffer, including the house your parents live in now, you also have to take the property certificate.

Otherwise, they secretly sell the house, and the whole family comes to Shanghai to cry to you, what will you do? "

At this point, she glanced at Fan Shengmei, and seeing that Fan Shengmei's brain was a little out of order, she rolled her eyes and continued:

"What's up, are you stupid? I hate people like you the most..."

Qu Xiaoxiao's feelings and attitude towards Fan Shengmei have also improved a lot, but in her heart she does not approve of Fan Shengmei's approach.

After all, Qu Xiaoxiao is a person who enjoys taking revenge, so she chooses the heart-killing method. She thinks that those who should be loved should be loved wholeheartedly, and those who should be hated should be hated to the core, and try not to leave any middle ground.

She hated the preference for boys over girls even more. Qu Xiaoxiao was so old, but she had hardly seen her grandmother a few times. Moreover, Qu Xiaoxiao and her mother were never allowed to attend the Qu family gatherings during the holidays.

No matter how much the mother silently contributed to the family, she could not dispel the father's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. No matter how much of a bastard Qu Lianjie was, her father still arranged the best way out for Qu Lianjie.

"Xiao Qu!" Andy saw that she was getting more and more excited, so he interrupted her and changed the subject:

"By the way, I saw Han Tao gave you a document when he left. Do you have a new project in Nantong?"

"No, he gave me the information of my prodigal brother. He went to Macau to gamble with someone a few days ago. I think he lost money. Jiang Lai followed him and that's probably why."

Having said that, Qu Xiaoxiao turned around to look for the document. She also understood that Andy wanted her to stop at that point, otherwise she would hurt Sister Fan's fragile heart.

"Oh my God, is Qu Lianjie crazy?"

When she finished reading the information, her mouth opened so wide in surprise that an egg could almost fit in it.

Qu Xiaoxiao never thought that her brother Qu Lianjie owed a huge debt of 100 million yuan. She knew without thinking that her father would not watch it, which meant that he would use the family's money to pay off the debt.

She absolutely could not agree to such a thing, because the money should belong to her. Even though she had made a lot of money in the stock market with Han Tao and had set up an investment company with her friends, she no longer cared about the family property.

But what belongs to you is yours, and others cannot touch it. You know, Qu Xiaoxiao's father left the house with nothing, and his current career was built together with Qu Xiaoxiao's mother.

Logically, Qu Xiaoxiao's parents and Qu Xiaoxiao form a complete family.

To this family, Qu Lianjie is just the son of a family member's ex-wife.

To Qu Lianjie, his own mother is not even a stepmother, because Qu Lianjie took her back after he became an adult, and he had always lived with his biological mother before that.

In that case, why should my family help that prodigal son Qu Lianjie pay back the debt?

What's more, it is 100 million yuan, which is not a small amount. Even if their family has assets of more than ten billion yuan, it cannot be wasted like this.

.....................

Chapter 722 Qu Xiaoxiao's Shock

On Han Tao's side, Jiang Lai was talking to some extent, while he was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Han Tao is very familiar with the city of Nantong. He grew up here and has many childhood memories of it.

However, suddenly thinking of what he would face soon, Han Tao stopped being in a daze and ignored Jiang Lai's nagging. He quickly picked up his phone to send a message.

After a while, the other party sent a message back: "We have arrived in Nantong. We will go there after settling down."

Seeing this message, Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a chance to explain.

There has been so much commotion in Handong Province recently, and I'm involved in it, borrowing the power of the He and Zhong families. If I don't get rid of my anger, my grandfather will definitely punish me according to the family rules.

However, I do plan to have a good talk with my grandfather and report some of my ideas to him. If Teacher Gao can join in, it will be a great reserve resource for the family.

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Jiang Lai couldn't help but ask curiously: "Han Tao, didn't you say you were going home? Why are you nervous?"

Facing her teasing, Han Tao did not respond. No matter how powerful a person is, he has something to fear, and he should have a heart of awe.

Soon, Han Tao's car arrived at a large compound. Although he had not been home for more than half a year and the guards at the door knew him, they still checked his ID as a routine matter before letting him in.

Jiang Lai looked out the window curiously, and saw the car slowly stop not far from a quaint two-story building. The building had red bricks and green tiles, and the environment looked very nice.

The most important thing is that there are guards at the door. At this time, she already has a certain understanding in her mind. Living in such a place and with guards, it seems that someone in Han Tao's family has a high status.

"Since you're here, would you like to go down and sit together?" Han Tao got out of the car, turned around and asked Jiang Lai who was looking around curiously.

"No, I have a headache. I'll wait for you in the car!"

Jiang Lai shook her head subconsciously. She usually felt uncomfortable with her parents or with that CEO brother.

If she was really asked to visit such a family, she would be making herself uncomfortable, so she temporarily decided not to follow Han Tao and wait in the car alone.

Although she has no concept of portals, she now feels that the difference is huge.

I used to think that Han Tao was a very capable lawyer, and my brother also said that his family background was not simple, but I didn’t expect it to be so complicated.

In fact, Jiang Lai still doesn’t understand why she wants to pester Han Tao for no reason. It may be because he destroyed the love in her heart, or it may be because of Han Tao’s attitude towards her.

She once loved Chen Fang very much, even regardless of worldly views and her brother's opposition. She believed in him wholeheartedly even if it meant going against the whole world.

So although Jiang Lai said that he would not believe it until he met Zoe and the others, he had actually already made up his mind and hated himself for being so blind.

Back then, Qu Xiaoxiao's sisters in the circle all laughed at her for being a romantic person, so she was very painful after knowing the truth.

Han Tao's appearance happened to make her want to temporarily escape from the old circle, as she didn't want her acquaintances to see her in such a state.

Of course, she still had an indescribable feeling towards Han Tao, the man who ruined her love, so she put aside her dignity and pestered Han Tao.

………………

At this time in the hotel, seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's surprised expression, Andy subconsciously asked with concern:

"Xiao Qu, what happened? Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah!" Qu Xiaoxiao was still a little confused. She picked up the information in her hand without thinking and handed it to Andy who was sitting next to her.

Andy took it and looked at it, a little bit unbelieving, and asked in surprise: "Your brother lost 100 million?"

"The information Han Tao gave me must be correct." Qu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, nodded, and continued:

"This number also shocked me. I always thought Qu Lianjie was just a weakling who couldn't cause any big trouble.

Unexpectedly, this time he really made a fortune, one hundred million at once!

He went to Macau with someone before, and I talked to my friends about it, and they all thought that losing a few million was the worst they could do.”

"I suddenly feel that you, the second generation of middle-class rich, are really scary. You were already capable of doing things before, but now compared with your brother, you are already good enough." Andy put down the information and said with some emotion.

"If my parents knew about this, they would be furious.

To be honest, if I had known Qu Lianjie was so stupid, I should have told my dad when I found out he went gambling.

After all, my father would never leave him alone, so the Qu family’s loss is my loss. Now it’s like this, I really feel like the rabbit has died and the fox has mourned.”

Seeing that she was a little depressed, Andy continued to comfort her: "Xiao Qu, your brother's failure to study well is his own business. Your current achievements are no worse than your father's. There is no comparison between the two of you."

"Andy, you don't know that it's hard for children who grow up in a family like ours to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things.

Growing up, my father and mother were only concerned with making money, and my father was a man of high patriarchy, so there was never any hope for me to succeed.”

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao fell into memories. After a long while, she took a sip of wine and continued:

"So he just let me go. I remember when I was 18 and studying, he gave me 10 million in one go.

There are only three requirements for me: first, don’t take drugs, second, don’t break the law, and third, don’t commit suicide.”

"Ten million? Ten million was worth a lot of money at that time!" Fan Sheng, who was standing aside, was already numb at this time, and he secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of family is this?

Ten million at that time was not much different from one hundred million now, so Qu Xiaoxiao's family had completely refreshed her concept of money.

"Qu Xiaoxiao, you deceived us so badly, and you even said that your father treated you badly and that they favored boys over girls.

I can't make that much money in my lifetime. Have you ever seen a family that favors boys over girls give 10 million? You were just an adult at that time, right? You call this bad for you?"

The more excited Qiu Yingying was, the more she started to lose control of her words, "Look at Sister Fan, her family is the one that favors boys over girls, and everyone in the family bullies her.

And you are being hypocritical, what is that thing that is on? Oh, right, you don’t know how to appreciate the good fortune you have!”

"Yingying!" Guan Juer was afraid that Qiu Yingying could not control herself, so she quickly stopped her.

"You know nothing, what I want is companionship and care, not money.

During that period, my eardrums were congested from flying so much, and I visited all the places I could visit in Europe and America.

I bought dozens of LV bags. The most amazing thing is that I can recite the exchange rates and price differences of that bag in different parts of the world with my eyes closed.

But you know what? I wasn’t happy. Instead, I felt even lonelier and even gave up for a long time.”

Listening to Qu Xiaoxiao's words, Fan Shengmei, who had already let go of her burden, curled her lips and said, "This is too wasteful. My heart is bleeding just by listening to it!"

Andy couldn't help but sigh: "Every family has its own problems. Fortunately, you are not the same as before."

"Andy, you don't understand. It's hard for people like you who have been elites since childhood to understand this feeling.

Speaking of which, I am very grateful to my mother for calling me back. If she hadn't asked me to come back to fight for the family property, I would still be stuck in my previous boring life.

So I like my current life. You don’t understand that people like us, the second generation whose parents became rich overnight, are easily looked down upon.

I am blessed to have friends like you on the 22nd floor, to have met Han Tao and you, and to have made a career. "

"So what are your plans now? Are you going to rush back overnight?"

"Andy, what do you think I should do? To be honest, I'm a little confused right now and I don't know what to do."

"I think you shouldn't rush. It's not safe to travel at night. It's better for us to go back together tomorrow. Anyway, even if we get home now, nothing will change.

And we can talk to Han Tao tomorrow, he will definitely have some good suggestions for you.

There is a saying in China that goes, "One hero needs three helpers." It is better to talk together than to figure it out alone.

"Well, Andy, what you said makes sense, I think so too, but I need to talk to my mother first and test the waters.

If she and my dad didn't know yet that Qu Lianjie lost money, I could have done more work in advance.

So you guys can eat first and don’t wait for me, otherwise the food will get cold and won’t taste good. I’ll make a phone call and come back right away.”

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao walked out of the private room. The people left in the room didn’t know what to say for a moment. Even Andy, a businessman who returned from Wall Street, felt very sad.

...........................

Chapter 723 Han Tao Returns Home

In the living room of the small building, an old man in his seventies was reading a newspaper, while an old lady next to him was wiping photo frames and chattering.

"Old man, stop looking. Why hasn't the kid come back yet? Didn't Xiao Ai tell you on the phone that Xiao Tao would be home today? Did you find out?

By the way, I have to tell you, if you come back, you are not allowed to be mean to him. The child doesn’t come back for half a year, so don’t put on airs and be sullen when you come back.”

Hearing what the old woman said, the old man put down the newspaper and said, "Teacher Wang, are you done yet? You kept nagging me before I came back, and now that I am coming back you are still nagging me. It is really annoying.

Xiao Tao has grown up now. I will talk to him properly when I have something to say and will not scold him. Besides, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful thing. When I scolded him before, I was also teaching him to grow up and protecting him from going the wrong way.

Just like this time, he was very thoughtless. Although his role was not very big, he just played a role in connecting the two sides, but he still violated the taboo.

Since I chose the legal profession instead of working in the system, I will try my best not to get involved in the affairs of the industry.

But how did he do it? He confronted the Zhao family before he even graduated, and now that he has grown stronger, he has cut off their support without any warning.

Is the Zhao family so easy to please? Anyone who still holds a position even if he has lost his power is also blessed. "

"You old man, you're tired of me now, right?"

The old lady threw the rag on the table, took a sip of water and said, "No matter where he is, we are not afraid of our own shadows. Xiao Tao must have his own considerations for doing that.

Don't you always say that a young eagle is bound to encounter some bumps and bruises when it spreads its wings? Now you always want to chain it up, so it will never grow up.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this matter. Old Zhong didn’t say anything, and from what Xiao Ai said, she even praised our Xiao Tao…”

"You, don't just look at the surface. In our situation, if we make a wrong move, we will lose everything. And I don't want to tie him down, I want to guide him correctly, do you understand?"

After that, the trembling old man picked up the newspaper again and muttered quietly, "It's true that loving mothers often spoil their children. You've been beating them since they were young. Now you're worried when it comes to your precious grandson. Why haven't I seen you defend your two grandsons like this?"

Hearing this, the old lady rolled her eyes at her husband and said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaohan and the others have their parents backing them up, why do they need me to protect them?

But what about Xiao Tao? I raised him with great difficulty since he was abandoned by your precious daughter. Don’t you think I shouldn’t be thinking about him?

Children without parents are different anyway. I will protect him. As long as I am alive, no one in our family will let him suffer any injustice, including you, an old man. Humph!"

"Yes, yes, you are right!" The old man was not anxious when he was confronted by the old lady, and he did not argue anymore.

There was no way. He couldn't argue with his old lady at home, so he simply chose to strategically avoid her and continued reading the newspaper.

"Hmph, don't act like a big shot in front of me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just being stubborn!"

After saying that, the old lady stopped arguing with her husband and continued to stand up and wipe the photos and various awards on the wall.

In fact, she knew in her heart that although her old man didn't say it, he missed his grandson Han Tao very much in his heart. He was raised by the old couple since he was a child, and their relationship with him was deeper than that with all the granddaughters.
