Along the way, Qin Hao saw Wang Ying's worried look and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What happened?"
"My uncle has been arrested." Wang Ying's tone was filled with panic. Her mother had just called her to ask her to go back. She thought she had run back early and was discovered, but she was shocked to hear the bad news.
Qin Hao's heart moved. Being arrested and being investigated are completely different concepts. In the mainland, arrests are generally not carried out without conclusive evidence.
Qin Hao had heard from Wang Ying before that her father was the director in charge of engineering construction and her uncle was in business. Although Wang Ying did not say what specific business her uncle was in, it was very likely that he was in engineering.
One of the two brothers is in charge of construction, and the other is responsible for projects. It would be unbelievable to say that there is no exchange of interests between them. Wang Ying lives in a luxurious villa at home, and a driver drives a Mercedes to take her to and from school. Such a level of consumption cannot be achieved by relying on her father.
That's a dead salary, right?
Outside the Wang family villa, as soon as the car stopped, Wang Ying was about to get out of the car, but was held back by Qin Hao.
"I'll go in with you."
Wang Ying hesitated, Qin Hao patted her hand: "More people, more power."
"Oh well."
In the hall of the villa, there was only Mother Wang sitting alone on the sofa. When she heard the movement outside, Mother Wang raised her head and glanced, but when she saw a man following Wang Ying, her expression immediately dropped.
"Why did you bring him too?" Mother Wang asked with a dark face.
Wang Ying did not answer directly, but asked anxiously: "Mom, what happened? Why was my uncle arrested? Where is my father?"
Mother Wang pretended to be calm: "Your dad is fine for now, but he was interviewed by the organization and suspended from his duties. He should be home soon."
Wang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, there was a sound of opening the door behind him. Wang Ying turned around and saw that it was her father, and ran over immediately.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Father Wang forced a smile and said comfortingly: "Yingying is back. Don't worry, your dad has never seen any big storms. It's okay."
"We have a guest at Yingying's house. Why don't you introduce him to your father? There are no rules."
Wang Ying's cheeks were flushed, and she pulled Qin Hao's sleeve: "This is my boyfriend Qin Hao, dad..."
Father Wang smiled and stretched out his hand to Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, I have seen it on TV and in newspapers many times. I never thought that the first time we met at home or at this time would make you laugh."
"You're so polite." Qin Hao said neither humble nor overbearing, and at the same time held Wang's father's hand. He couldn't help but sigh. After all, he is a leader in a high position, and he can be so calm when things happen. This Qi-nurturing skill alone is not something ordinary people can do.
owned.
Father Wang looked at Qin Hao for a while and said in an appreciative tone: "I have always heard that you graduated from Beiqing. At that time, I thought that you and my daughter were schoolmates, but I didn't expect that there is such a relationship."
"Sit down. Since Yingying can bring you to my home, we are a family. You don't have to be polite. It's just like your own home."
Mother Wang was about to retort, but was interrupted by a look from Father Wang: "If there is any fruit at home, go and cut some fruit."
"Mom, let me help you." Wang Ying was also sent away by her father.
Suddenly, only Qin Hao and Wang's father were left sitting opposite each other in the living room.
Father Wang sighed: "Actually, I know what happened between you and Yingying before. To be honest, her mother hopes to find her a well-matched boyfriend within the system, but this girl ran alone for you.
She hasn't come back to England for four years, and I can see that she really wants to be with you."
"However, with the current situation of our family, we are not only unable to provide you with help, but may even become a burden to you. Are you sure you still want to be with Yingying?"
Qin Hao said firmly: "Of course, Wang Ying and I were never together because of her identity."
"Okay, very good." Dad Wang smiled happily. This was the first time in many years that he showed his true inner emotions in front of outsiders.
While the two were talking, Wang Ying had already come out of the kitchen carrying a fruit plate.
"What are you talking about? You are so happy?" Wang Ying naturally sat next to Qin Hao, and Wang Ying couldn't help but sigh that her baby cabbage had been taken away.
"Nothing, let's talk about the next countermeasures." Qin Hao replied casually.
Wang Ying looked at her father with a worried face: "Dad, how is my uncle doing? How much impact does this incident have on you?"
Born in such a family since she was a child, Wang Ying has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and she still knows something about officialdom. It is impossible that this kind of thing will not have an impact on her father. The key lies in how big the impact is.
Dad Wang sighed: "After your uncle made some money over the years, he drifted away. He went to Macau several times. Not only did he lose all his savings, he also misappropriated project funds without authorization and used fake and shoddy building materials, causing the bridge to collapse.
, this time the evidence is conclusive and there is no room for redemption.”
"As for me, I am suspended now, and the follow-up organization will definitely send people to investigate..."
At this point, Wang's father paused and said to Wang Ying: "You shouldn't come back at this time. Why don't you let Xiao Qin take you abroad for a while? You can come back after this matter has passed."
Before Wang Ying could object, Qin Hao comforted him: "Uncle, things haven't gotten out of hand yet, so there's no need to be so pessimistic."
Dad Wang sighed: "I have already thought of all the ways I can think of. The problem now is that the collapse of the bridge caused a major accident. Once the media gets involved, the matter will get bigger and bigger, and the public must be given an explanation from above."
"What's more, we really deserved this, and it's not unjust."
Father Wang shook his head when he heard this: "And now that the Wang family's connections are no longer useful, others will only go around us if they see it."
The atmosphere in the living room was freezing for a while, but Wang's father still invited Qin Hao to stay for a meal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Wang Ying sent Qin Hao out, she was still a little worried: "Will my dad finally..."
Qin Hao suddenly thought that in the original drama, Dad Wang was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he was taken away for investigation, and he died within three months. By this time, it was probably already in the advanced stage and there was no way to save him.
"No matter what, you have to remember that I will always be behind you."
"Um."
A week later, Wang's father was still taken away by the relevant departments. They said he was assisting in the investigation, but in fact a case had been filed and even the lawyer could not see him.
Wang Ying, who had always been strong, cried so hard that Qin Hao could only hold her in his arms and comfort her softly: "Don't scare yourself. I'm just assisting in the investigation. Maybe everything will be fine soon."
For almost half a month, there was no news from Wang’s father until one day, Wang’s mother received the notice and took Qin Hao and Wang Ying to the hospital.
When she learned that Wang's father had terminal pancreatic cancer, Wang's mother's eyes darkened and she almost fell to the ground, but Qin Hao quickly caught her.
There was a commotion in the ward, but Mrs. Wang finally woke up.
Father Wang was lying on the hospital bed, with an ugly smile on his pale face, and said to his wife: "Actually, this is a good thing for me, otherwise I will probably be sentenced. You know that I
Yeah, I can’t bear that hardship..."
Before Father Wang finished speaking, Wang Ying was already lying beside the hospital bed sobbing, and Mother Wang even burst into tears.
Father Wang saw that no matter how he tried to comfort him, it had no effect, so he waved to Qin Hao.
"Xiao Qin, I entrusted you with my little cotton-padded jacket. Don't bully her because you think she has no father. I will watch you from below."
Qin Hao said nothing, but held Dad Wang's hand tightly.
In the end, Dad Wang still didn't survive three months. Just after his funeral, the Wang family's villa was also sealed and the family's bank card account was frozen. The main reason was that Wang Ying's uncle had lost all the family property in gambling.
There is absolutely no enforceable property, and there have indeed been many financial transactions between the two families in recent years. It is difficult to prove whether it was a favor or stolen money.
Mother Wang suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and she cried bitterly while hugging Wang Ying.
"Mom, it's okay. We can buy another villa if it's gone."
Mother Wang sobbed and shook her head, thinking that her daughter was too naive. A villa would cost at least tens of millions, and the family's money had been frozen. Where would the money come from to buy it again?
"Mom, your money is gone, but I still have it." Wang Ying saw her mother's distrust and said quickly.
"How much New Year's money you have, it's not even enough to buy an apartment." Mother Wang smiled bitterly.
"Enough, you forgot, didn't I invest 800,000 before? It has been profitable over the years, but I haven't touched it. It should be more than 3 million pounds now in a British investment fund."
Hearing this, Mother Wang looked at Wang Ying hesitantly: "You didn't mean to make mother happy, did you?"
"Mom, why don't you believe me? When did I lie to you?"
Mother Wang sniffed and muttered: Humph, that's not necessarily the case. We agreed not to contact Xiao Qin for four years, but ended up secretly dating her behind my back.
In the end, Mrs. Wang finally believed her words after seeing Wang Ying's fund account.
"Mom, how about I transfer money from the fund account to your card?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang waved her hands: "Forget it, it's better to keep the money with you safely. If you can't transfer it to my card, it will be frozen again."
"But we have to find a place to live, right?"
"Let's stay in the hotel first. After I finish taking care of things here, I'll go to England to live with you, so as not to miss things here."
Wang Ying bit her lower lip and said firmly: "Mom, I'm in China and I'm not going anywhere."
"Yingying, Mom knows that you want to be with Xiao Qin, but now is not the time. There are some things that your dad didn't tell you. Do you really think that it was just your uncle's bad gambling that destroyed a bridge and brought down the entire family?
After all, your father's backer has fallen. If you stay in the country now, it will only bring trouble to Xiao Qin, do you understand?" Wang's mother said in a serious tone.
Seeing her daughter's sad look, Mrs. Wang held her shoulders distressedly and comforted her softly.
"Mom knows that you are reluctant to leave Xiao Qin, and she is also reluctant to leave the capital. But now, leaving is the best choice. And with Xiao Qin's financial ability, he can go to the UK to see you at any time."
"Yingying, you have to understand that when men start their careers outside, there is not much we women can do. Not causing them any trouble is the greatest help to them."
Wang Ying wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the night view of the capital, her eyes full of reluctance.
On the other hand, the news about the decline of the Wang family quickly spread in the circle.
On this day, Wang Ying came out of the hotel and was planning to visit the capital. She hadn't been back for four years and the changes here had been huge.
"Wang Ying."
Looking in the direction of the sound, Wang Ying looked at Yang Cheng in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
What surprised Wang Ying even more was that at this moment, Yang Cheng had long lost the spirit of the romantic young man in the past, his hair was messy, and the clothes he wore were all street clothes.
"I heard something happened to your dad, so I wanted to come and see you."
Wang Ying looked at Yang Cheng's wandering eyes and frowned slightly. It had been several months since something happened in her family. Yang Cheng had not shown up before, so why did he suddenly appear at this time?
"Thank you. Fortunately, my dad left suddenly, so there was no pain." Wang Ying said casually. She seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Yang Cheng since then.
"That's good..." Yang Cheng was silent for a while, then hesitantly said to Wang Ying.
"Wang Ying, can you still lend me some money?"
"How much do you want?" Wang Ying subconsciously rummaged through her wallet.
However, Yang Cheng revealed a number that she didn't expect.
"Five million."
Wang Ying's hand movements suddenly froze and her eyes widened: "What do you want so much money for?"
"I want to start a business, Wang Ying. I recently saw a very good project. It can move offline stores online, and it is a three-dimensional display, allowing people to go shopping immersively instead of browsing those monotonous pictures."
"Wang Ying, this project will definitely succeed, and you will be the major shareholder by then..."
Seeing Yang Cheng describing his project like crazy, Wang Ying subconsciously took a step back.
"Yang Cheng's investment is risky, it's better to be cautious, and five million is not a small amount..."
Before Wang Ying could finish her words, Yang Cheng interrupted rudely: "What's five million? Before anything happened to our family, it was just a small amount of money to go to nightclubs a few times."
"Wang Ying, we didn't grow up together. If you could invest all your savings in him, why can't you trust me once?"
Wang Ying's eyes wandered and she suddenly sighed.
"So, you came here specifically to ask for money from me today?"
Yang Cheng said impatiently: "Yes, I'm just here to ask for money. This is the reality of today's society. I want to start a business, I want to make money, I want to stand up again, and I want to make those who look down on me, Yang Cheng, see
See, I can still succeed without relying on my family."
"There are five thousand yuan here, which is my last savings. Something happened to my dad, and all our family's accounts were frozen, and we have no money."
"Five thousand yuan, you are sending the beggar away."
Yang Cheng roughly knocked the cash out of Wang Ying's hand and approached like crazy: "Don't think I don't know where your money came from. He gave it to you, right? I always thought you and Ren Siyu were not the same.
Same thing, I didn’t expect him to be a slut too~~~”
Bang, Wang Ying slapped Yang Cheng in the face.
"From today on, we are no longer friends. Don't appear in front of me again in the future."
