Half an hour later, Zhao Ruyi's phone buzzed with text messages.
"Ruyi, don't be angry. What I did was a deliberate gesture to show off to the Murong family. It's all for our Zhao family. They want to use me. How do you know I'm not using them?"
Zhao Ruyi looked at the text message and laughed secretly.
He thought for a moment and then sent another text message, "What did grandpa say?"
Zhao Ruxuan obviously had two intentions when he came to Northern Jiangsu Province. One was to gain the power of the Murong family, and the other was to pursue Murong Yan's beauty. If he married Murong Yan, he would kill two birds with one stone.
As for what other small families think, given the status of the Zhao family, they actually don't care much.
The family all values face, but compared with interests, face can be discarded to a certain extent. Don't look at Zhao Wuji's last anger, but he is not confused at all. If there is a safe way to unite the Zhao family and the Murong family
, even if he has knots in his heart, he may not refuse.
As for Murong Yan marrying Zhao Ruxuan, even the Liu family in Shannan Province would not have any objections. With the attitudes of Liu Xia and Liu Xin, they certainly did not want the two major families in southern and northern Jiangsu to form an alliance, but on the contrary, Murong Yan
He and Zhao Ruyi will never have another chance.
Zhao Ruxuan seized this opportunity and came to the Murong family to secretly propose marriage. On the one hand, he could solve the Murong family's problems, and on the other hand, it could also enhance his status in the Zhao family.
Regardless of success or failure, this was an internal communication within the Murong family, so Murong Qing and Murong Ze had no worries in lowering their profile to Zhao Ruyi.
But among all the old foxes in the family, who is not a master of acting?
"Ruyi, I know you are still upset. Let's do this. I don't know where you live. Let's come out and talk when we see the Galaxy Cafe on Yongchang Road."
Zhao Ruxuan then sent another text message, which Zhao Ruyi expected.
"Okay, then in half an hour." Zhao Ruyi agreed for half an hour, looking impatient.
Zhao Ruxuan does not need to worry about Zhao Ruyi. But he must worry about Zhao Wuji.
If the Murong family agreed to betroth Murong Yan to him, or took a step back and agreed to take Murong Yan to Europe first, how would he explain it to Zhao Wuji?
Murong Yan broke off their engagement with Zhao Ruyi. But after all, she was once Zhao Ruyi's fiancée in name. Zhao Ruxuan had to go through this process of robbing his brother's woman.
Therefore, when he saw Zhao Ruyi carrying out Zhao Wuji, he would definitely ask Zhao Ruyi to come out to talk and try to solve the problem in North Jiangsu Province. Even if he couldn't explain Zhao Ruyi, he could still take a precaution in advance to know what Zhao Ruyi was like.
manner.
He is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, and Zhao Wuji can never do anything to him, but Zhao Wuji dotes on Zhao Ruyi. If he does not handle it well and makes Zhao Wuji furious, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"good!"
Zhao Ruxuan sent back a text message.
Zhao Ruyi seemed anxious, and he was unwilling to drag out the trouble. Zhao Ruyi was willing to communicate, which was a good thing. If the trouble was dragged to Zhao Wuji for judgment, Zhao Ruxuan would be passive.
After receiving the reply to the text message, Zhao Ruyi quickly changed into a set of clothes and saw that the nunchaku was still hanging in the room, so she took it off, split it into two short sticks, and inserted them into the pants on her lower waist.
He told the disciples of the Tang family at the gate of the front yard that he would be back soon, then ran outside the house and took a taxi.
"Yongchang Road, Galaxy Cafe." Zhao Ruyi got into the car and asked specifically, "How long does it take to get there from here?"
"It'll take 15 minutes if there's no traffic jam, and 20 minutes if there's a little traffic jam. It's not very far," the driver replied.
"Well, then drive slowly."
Zhao Ruyi lay down in the seat comfortably.
This time Zhao Ruxuan came to Northern Jiangsu Province, with the intention of giving Zhao Ruyi a blow, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ruyi also came to Northern Jiangsu Province, and deliberately caused some trouble to attract the attention of the Murong family.
The Murong family invited Zhao Ruyi over and allowed Zhao Ruyi to meet Zhao Ruxuan, which was to send a signal - if we don't choose you, we can choose Zhao Ruxuan.
Zhao Ruyi caused the relationship between the Zhao family and the Murong family to fall apart, and Zhao Ruxuan restored the relationship between the Zhao family and the Murong family, making it even more stable than before. Doesn't that prove that Zhao Ruxuan is more capable and has a better view of the overall situation than Zhao Ruyi?
Haha, you want to step on my head...
Zhao Ruyi narrowed his eyes.
20 minutes later, Zhao Ruyi arrived at the Galaxy Cafe on Yongchang Road.
Yongchang Road is one of the main streets in Qianhang City. There are many shopping malls and restaurants here. This Galaxy Cafe is a street-side store on the first floor of the Yonglian Department Store flagship store in Qianhang.
When Zhao Ruyi pushed the door open and went in, Zhao Ruxuan was already sitting at the window. He saw Zhao Ruyi and waved.
"What do you want to drink? I'll treat you today." Zhao Ruxuan was wearing a light gray windbreaker with the front open and a plaid striped shirt underneath, making him look elegant.
His expression was very calm, but he couldn't hide his arrogance as the future head of the Zhao family. He still had to look kind to Zhao Ruyi, and at the same time, he had to act like an eldest brother...
Judging from the slight grin on his lips, he felt a bit proud of Zhao Ruyi for rushing to the meeting.
In his impression, Zhao Ruyi was a reckless man, and the Murong family had no reason to choose Zhao Ruyi over him.
In terms of family background, also in the Zhao family, he is the eldest son and grandson in the family, not a grandson like Zhao Ruyi who relies on Zhao Wuji for protection; in terms of academic qualifications, he has a doctorate from the best business school in Europe, not someone like Zhao Ruyi
Hanging around in domestic schools;
In terms of assets, his father actually controls several large groups, but Zhao Qilan's hotels and companies really don't even look down on them.
Therefore, when facing Zhao Ruyi, it was obvious that he had a condescending attitude.
As long as Zhao Wuji and Murong Hao go west like that, Zhao Ruyi will have nothing to rely on. By then, how can this cousin still have the slightest ability to compete with him?
"Just have a cup of coffee." Zhao Ruyi said while looking at the street scene outside.
Zhao Ruxuan raised his hand, ordered two cups of coffee, and sighed softly, "The domestic development is really good now. If there were fewer people on this street, it would really feel a bit like Europe."
"hehe……"
Zhao Ruyi smiled, but he couldn't hear the showoff in Zhao Ruxuan's words.
He went to Europe to study for several years. In contrast, Zhao Ruyi was a "country bumpkin" in front of him. But in this way, Zhao Ruxuan would not say it clearly, but would just point out the gap between Zhao Ruyi and him gently.
No matter how well you do in China, your vision is limited. No matter how good those hotels in East Lake are, they only use the shade of the Zhao family tree... How can you compare with him? He has opened several companies in Europe and is doing well.
.
"Ruyi, I know you have objections to me about this matter, but in fact, my eldest brother is also doing it for your own good."
Seeing that Zhao Ruyi didn't answer, Zhao Ruxuan reached out and put his hand on Zhao Ruyi's shoulder.
"For my own good? Brother, how do you say this?" Zhao Ruyi puffed up her chest.
"Everyone now knows that you and Murong Yan broke off their engagement. The more stalemate the relationship between the Zhao family and the Murong family, the harder it will be to open the future. Only by opening this knot can the Zhao family develop smoothly.
You won’t be noticed either.” Zhao Ruxuan said.
"If you open this knot, will you marry Murong Yan?" Zhao Ruyi frowned and asked him.
"Oh, Ruyi," Zhao Ruxuan slapped Zhao Ruyi's shoulder heavily again, "I know you have emotions in your heart, but if you think about it carefully, you and Murong Yan have no relationship. During this period, the rumors caused by your affairs are still there.
Less?"
"I married Murong Yan not for myself, but for the Zhao family. The power of the Murong family is deeply rooted in Northern Jiangsu Province. And Northern Jiangsu Province is close to the capital, so its strategic location is extremely important. Our Zhao family is located in Southern Jiangsu Province.
, it’s never a long-term solution.”
"Now that the Zhao family has accumulated enough strength, it should expand to the north, but there is a stalemate with the Murong family. In other words, they have erected a barrier for themselves for no reason. The Murong family can so proudly withdraw from the Zhao family because of this advantage.
.”
Zhao Ruxuan put his right hand on Zhao Ruyi's shoulder and said a lot of words with sincerity.
He is a full eight years older than Zhao Ruyi, and the way he talks to Zhao Ruyi is like an elder brother teaching a younger brother, and he seems to be extremely sincere and puts the overall interests of the Zhao family first.
"Speaking of it this way, if I ruin eldest brother's plan, I will become an enemy of the Zhao family?" Zhao Ruyi suddenly raised his head and asked.
"What are you talking about? No matter what you do, you are still a member of the Zhao family. Dealing with the Murong family is a very complicated process. It's not that you have anything wrong with targeting the Murong family, but the current situation is that 'and' are greater than'
War', the Murong family covets Southern Jiangsu Province, why don't our Zhao family want to enter Northern Jiangsu Province?"
"For things like yours, neither side can actually go down the stairs. I don't have to marry Murong Yan, but sending such a signal out will be a good thing for both of us, do you understand?"
Zhao Ruxuan stared at Zhao Ruyi, his eyes gradually showing a cold light.
He didn't have the patience to convince Zhao Ruyi, he just hoped that Zhao Ruyi would recognize the reality. As Zhao Ruyi, the grandson of the Zhao family, what could he use to fight him?
He was just worried that Zhao Wuji would be unhappy, so he wanted to persuade Zhao Ruyi to give up voluntarily, but how could Zhao Ruyi be so stupid!
Do you really think that I, Zhao Ruxuan, need your consent to marry Murong Yan?!
In his words, the responsibility for the feud between the Zhao family and the Murong family was placed on Zhao Ruyi's withdrawal from the engagement, and the reason for the withdrawal was that Zhao Ruyi was "incompetent"?
"That is to say, I want to withdraw from this situation unconditionally and tell Grandpa that I don't mind such a thing, right?" Zhao Ruyi asked him.
Zhao Ruxuan blinked. He didn't expect Zhao Ruyi to say it so straightforwardly, but he still nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"Then you remove the obstacles and find a way to get engaged to Murong Yan, the most beautiful woman in the family, right?" Zhao Ruyi continued to ask.
"you……"
Feeling that Zhao Ruyi was exposing his true thoughts without mercy, Zhao Ruxuan gradually became serious, and the right hand on Zhao Ruyi's shoulder slowly retracted.
"There is no need for you to interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family and the Murong family. As the grandson of the Zhao family, I am mediating with the Murong family. Don't you think that the responsibility for causing this situation lies with you?"
Zhao Ruxuan sat upright little by little, looking straight at Zhao Ruyi with cold eyes.
"In other words, I am an insignificant little character and I am not worthy of marrying Murong Yan. The Murong family, the so-called big family in northern Jiangsu, has no need to talk to me. They should pay attention to you as their eldest grandson, right?" Zhao Ruyi asked again.
"Isn't it right?" Zhao Ruxuan's words were already chilling to the bone.
Zhao Qiguo looked down on Zhao Ruyi. How could Zhao Ruxuan, Zhao Qiguo's son who had returned from studying in Europe, look down on Zhao Ruyi?
He asked Zhao Ruyi out just to make Zhao Ruyi retreat in spite of the difficulties. He went to Northern Jiangsu Province to contact the Murong family, and even though Zhao Ruyi showed up, he shouldn't have appeared in Northern Jiangsu Province!
"Okay, brother is right, I should leave here and leave the situation here to you to solve, right?" Zhao Ruyi stood up and asked loudly.
He especially emphasized the word "big brother".
"Yes!" Zhao Ruxuan raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruyi calmly.
Bang la la...
Suddenly, the glass door of the cafe was pushed open. Yang Ling, whose face was covered with scars, was holding a knife and stick, and led a group of teenagers who were also holding knife and stick, and rushed towards Zhao Ruyi and Zhao Ruxuan, "Here! Catch them both.
indivual!"
