Lao Lu was the most surprised and asked: "Lao Qiao, we have been brothers for so many years, please don't lie to me... Do you really want to repay the 50 million raised funds?"
"Of course, and the principal must be repaid with interest," Qiao Mingan said.
"Then your more than ten years in prison have been in vain!" Mr. Lu said
Qiao Mingan smiled and said, "If I don't pay it back, then my decades of life have been in vain."
Fang Tianfeng nodded slightly, this Uncle Qiao was really an extraordinary person, so he raised his glass and said, "Here, let's give a toast to Father-in-law Qiao, no, a toast to Uncle Qiao."
Qiao Mingan immediately laughed and looked at his daughter.
Qiao Ting was stunned for a moment. A faint red glow appeared under her crystal-clear skin. She clenched her pink fists and glared at Fang Tianfeng fiercely.
"Damn it! You took advantage of me again!"
Fang Tianfeng argued: "I just accidentally said what was in my heart. I really didn't want to take advantage of you. Today is my uncle's happy day. Don't worry about this kind of slip of the tongue. Come on, have a drink!"
Qiao Ting wanted to say no, but now that there were outsiders present, she didn't want to give Fang Tianfeng and her father face, so she had to raise her glass and take a sip.
Lao Lu looked at Fang Tianfeng with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes and said, "Xiao Fang, you are really amazing. If someone else had said that, Qiao Ting would have poured a glass of wine on her face."
"Uncle Lu!" Qiao Ting shouted. The beautiful voice and the slight hint of embarrassment on her face made her even more beautiful. Except for Qiao Mingan, everyone in the car was attracted to her.
"Okay, I won't tell you. Lao Qiao, your Tingting is getting more and more beautiful. That little brat of ours is really not good enough for her." Lao Lu's face was filled with regret.
Qiao Mingan looked at Qiao Ting with a smile, but Qiao Ting turned to look out the window.
Fang Tianfeng was sitting next to Qiao Ting, and when he saw her fair neck exposed in front of his eyes, her icy muscles and jade bones, her nose was fragrant, making people want to kiss her.
Everyone continued to chat, but Qiao Mingan had been imprisoned for many years and rarely spoke. Today he was finally released from prison. He felt very happy. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, he talked a lot. He talked about everything from all over the world. His knowledge in many aspects exceeded those present here.
of all people.
Lao Lu, Mr. Lu and Xiao Chang often show respect. They sincerely admire Qiao Mingan, because the companies they are running now have received Qiao Mingan's guidance. Although Qiao Mingan also made mistakes, most of them were very correct, which made him very proud.
The company of three people is thriving.
After all, Fang Tianfeng had dined with the CEO of a company that controlled tens of billions of dollars, so he was naturally sure that Qiao Mingan had the real deal. He felt a little regretful. If the money raised back then had not been taken away, Qiao Mingan's current net worth would be at least one billion.
However, Fang Tianfeng did not feel that it was wrong to sentence him to life imprisonment. The 50 million yuan back then was worth more than the 50 million yuan now, and it affected so many families. Even if Qiao Mingan had to return it later, it would be difficult to make up for the losses. The life sentence was not unjust.
The only pity is that the officials behind them were not dug out. In those years, many families were ruined due to fund-raising, but the result was that a certain businessman or the apparent culprit was dealt with. What's more, not only was the apparent culprit not punished,
Instead, he became even more arrogant and became a gangster in a certain area that everyone in the circle knew, and became famous all over the world.
When the bus arrived at Dongjiang Tower, the group got out of the car. Qiao Mingan stood in front of Yuanjiang Tower and was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that the small store that was small back then has now grown into a whole building. It is indeed the banner of Dongjiang local cuisine.
I want to eat enough today!"
Qiao Ting's eyes dimmed.
Lao Lu smiled and put his arm around Qiao Mingan's shoulders and said, "Let's go, Brother Qiao, let's have a good drink today and we won't come back until we get drunk!"
"Let's go!" Qiao Mingan shouted loudly.
The six people entered the private room. Qiao Mingan took the initiative to take the menu and ordered six dishes and two kinds of wine in one go before passing the menu to Lao Lu. Next, except Qiao Ting who only ordered juice and did not order, everyone else ordered.
He said he would never return until he was drunk, but no one drank too much. They chatted first and waited for the food to be served to fill their stomachs before they started drinking.
Although Qiao Mingan said he wanted to eat as much as he could, his health was not as good as before. He tasted a few chopsticks of each dish and was full quickly.
Qiao Mingan is usually a very elegant person, but today is the day of his release from prison, so he is extra relaxed. During this period, he teased Fang Tianfeng and Qiao Ting many times, and even called Fang Tianfeng his son-in-law many times.
Qiao Ting was so angry that she wanted to leave, but Fang Tianfeng stopped her.
"I know you like to hear it!" Qiao Ting snorted coldly after saying that, rolled her eyes at Fang Tianfeng, lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, not talking to anyone else.
Everyone left Shigang Prison in the morning and came to Yuanjiang Tower at noon. They drank until four o'clock in the afternoon. Qiao Ting's cell phone suddenly rang. Qiao Ting looked at it carefully and handed the phone to her father, but she suddenly took it back and pressed the answer button.
Hand it to him.
Fang Tianfeng thought that Qiao Ting actually cared about her father, fearing that her father would not be able to use modern smartphones after being in prison for many years, but she still could not forgive him for abandoning her mother.
"Jing Huai, it's me. It doesn't matter. Everyone is busy. It doesn't matter to me. Thank you for your money. Let's have a meal together when we have time. You want to come? Is that okay? Okay, I'm in Donghai on the fourth floor of Yuanjiang Building.
Hall, okay, see you later."
Qiao Mingan handed the phone to Qiao Ting, and there was silence in the room.
Qiao Mingan said: "It's Jing Huai's call. He said he'll be here in half an hour. You see, he didn't really come as you said. It's just because he couldn't come back immediately because he was discussing business in other places. He came right away as soon as he returned to Yunhai City.
Come."
"Maybe we misunderstood him." Lao Lu said.
"Huh, not necessarily." Mr. Lu was still unhappy.
That Xiao Chang didn't speak.
Mr. Lu chuckled and said in a low voice: "Brother Qiao, don't be surprised when you see Jing Huai."
"What's surprising?" Qiao Mingan asked.
Lao Lu, Mr. Lu and Xiao Chang all had strange smiles on their faces, and even Fang Tianfeng became curious.
"Don't hide it, say it quickly!" Qiao Mingan has a good drinking capacity. Even after drinking so much wine, his speech is still clear, but his speaking speed is very slow.
Mr. Lu said with a smile: "He has undergone plastic surgery. Although the change is not big, people who are not familiar with him basically cannot recognize him."
Qiao Mingan was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "I know him. He must have wanted to erase the traces of the past so much that he did this. Alas, he was actually very bitter."
Lao Lu said: "Lao Qiao, you have changed a lot."
"Everyone is changing." Qiao Mingan said.
Because Jing Huai was coming, everyone stopped drinking and talked about what happened to Jing Huai in recent years.
"Jing Huai was really desperate at that time. Later, with the help of Brother Qiao, he was able to do business peacefully like us. But he was smart and could endure hardships better than us. With Brother Qiao's guidance, he became bigger and bigger.
He didn’t have plastic surgery at first because he was not from Yunhai and no one recognized him. Later, he didn’t know what happened, so he had plastic surgery.”
"He was not bad looking. He probably had plastic surgery because he didn't want to be recognized. Then two years later, he married the only daughter of a big floor boss. When his father-in-law died, everything belonged to the couple.
, his net worth will not be less than 500 million. To be honest, I really envy him. Since he can come today, he also has Brother Qiao in his heart."
"He is usually very nice, but if you really mess with him, he will do very bad things. I heard that if a person accidentally offended him, it was not a big mistake. It seemed that he just complained about something, but he was repaired badly. Finally, his wife persuaded him
, he spared that man.”
Everyone talked a lot, and half an hour passed. Fang Tianfeng suddenly coughed. Mr. Lu was talking about Jing Huai, but stopped and looked at Fang Tianfeng with the others.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in with a smile.
"Jing Huai!" Qiao Mingan stood up with a smile and greeted him, and others stood up one after another.
Mr. Lu blushed and looked at Fang Tianfeng gratefully. If what he said just now was heard by Jing Huai, although it would not cause a big problem, it would be resented by Jing Huai and it would be even more embarrassing.
"Brother Qiao, congratulations on your release from prison! I have found someone to buy the brazier and grapefruit leaves and put them in the car. I will take you home today. You will step over the brazier and soak the grapefruit leaves in water to take a bath to get rid of bad luck. I know Qiao
I don’t believe this, but since I have it with me, you can just treat it like a game.”
"Okay, no problem!" Qiao Mingan put his arm around Jing Huai's shoulders and introduced this person to Fang Tianfeng and Qiao Ting. The other three people all knew Jing Huai and had greeted each other.
Mr. Lu was still brooding and said, "Jing Huai, Brother Qiao is released from prison. Even a big thing is a trivial matter. You didn't come to pick him up this time. If you don't want to say anything else, if you want to sit down, I'll punish myself with three drinks first!"
Jing Huai smiled and said, "Okay! Then I will punish myself with three drinks." Then he poured himself three small glasses of white wine and drank three glasses in a row.
"Okay! Sit down!" Mr. Lu immediately applauded, and Xiao Chang also cheered.
There was one more person in the private room, which made it more lively. Jing Huai was also a very talkative person.
However, Fang Tianfeng discovered one thing. In the past, Qiao Mingan, Mr. Lu and Xiao Chang often talked about some interesting or old things in the prison, and they also talked about the inmates or guards they knew. They did not shy away from it. But this new Jing Huai was different.
He didn't mention what happened in prison, and even when others mentioned it, he would either not talk about it or change the topic.
After repeating it several times, everyone could see that he didn't like to talk about prison, so no one talked about it.
Fang Tianfeng secretly observed the luck of several people.
There is no need for Qiao Mingan to say more, and Lao Lu himself has a lot of resentment, but it is not very solid. The resentment is very similar to Qiao Mingan's, and it seems that it is also because of the fund-raising incident.
Mr. Lu and Xiao Chang were less resentful, but their chopsticks were thick, so it seemed that although they had committed a crime, it was not a serious crime. In addition, they both knew they were here to pick up Qiao Mingan, so they knew how to be grateful, so they were not too bad people.
Fang Tianfeng finally looked at the newcomer Jing Huai and found something different from the others.
Jing Huai actually had murderous intent. According to the murderous intent, it was judged that he did not kill the person himself, but that he paid someone to kill someone. The murderous intent appeared after he was released from prison. Jing Huai also had a lot of resentment and wealth than the other people.
Jing Huai was drinking, and when he got drunk, he suddenly started complaining about the confusion he felt just after being released from prison, about the fear of being despised and being recognized, and that even his girlfriend at that time did not dare to talk about it for fear of harming other girls.
He said that in the end he was discovered by fellow villagers and had to give him a sum of money to send him away.
What Jing Huai said was all true, and he shed tears as he spoke. The three people who had all lived in prison were moved and cried together. Mr. Lu even made a special toast to apologize, saying that he had misunderstood Jing Huai.
Qiao Ting didn't change much, she just lowered her head, while Fang Tianfeng and Lao Lu sighed, also moved by Jing Huai's words.
After wiping away his tears, Jing Huai began to talk about the process of meeting his current wife, how difficult it was for him, how cute his son was, how virtuous his wife was, how good his mother-in-law and father-in-law were to him, and in short, he described his family.
