The gentle and gentle Zhou Mei couldn't help but screamed, her almond-shaped eyes were as wide as bells, and she glared hard at the person holding the delicate tea cup while sipping the tea in an elegant manner.
"Uncle, uncle, there is something going on there, do you know?" The young man put down his tea cup and smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, looking very well-educated.
Pruning Zhiyou said: "Among the younger generation, you are the most promising. You have reached the deputy director level in your twenties. Although it is not unrelated to the support from your family, you are also diligent and hardworking. Although your uncle is the head of the family,
However, you have never had any children, and your health has not been very good in the past few years. Among the younger generations that the family focuses on supporting, if nothing happens, you should have the most hope..."
Xiao Rui still lowered his head, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The third uncle saw this and couldn't help but sneer: "But you are unlucky, this happened unexpectedly."
Xiao Rui raised his head, a look of astonishment flashed through his eyes, but he soon regained his composure, and a smile appeared on his face again, which seemed to be more kind and sunny than before.
The third uncle couldn't help but smile a little: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, you are barely qualified for this city government. After all, you have experienced at the grassroots level, and finally these two years have not been in vain."
"Tenglong Group is your aunt's company. It has been making frequent moves in Ninghai recently. Last night, your uncle personally called Minister Fang and intervened in an ordinary kidnapping case in Ninghai City. Do you know these things?"
Xiao Rui nodded.
The third uncle smiled meaningfully: "Why do your uncle and aunt seem to be focusing on Ninghai recently?"
Xiao Rui hesitated and said: "On the surface, it is for my aunt's adopted daughter Zhou Mei, but I don't think it is as simple as it seems..."
The third uncle smiled and said: "Knowing that you can see the essence through the surface shows that you are good at thinking, yes... I have to talk about this matter from twenty years ago. At that time, your father and your uncle fought to the death, and even
Your father had already won the support of the entire clan, and your uncle was forced to flee far away. Who knows, just when your father was about to succeed, your uncle miraculously turned defeat into victory. Do you know why?
"
There was a hint of hatred in Xiao Rui's eyes, but he shook his head calmly.
The third uncle sighed: "Your father was too good at what he did and never gave people a way to survive. This was the biggest reason for his failure. Xiao Rui, this is the lesson your father left. You must remember it."
The third uncle's eyes gradually blurred, immersed in the memories of the past: "...Twenty years ago, your uncle and aunt were holding their newborn children and were forced to fly away by your father. Later, your uncle turned defeat into victory and returned to the clan.
At that time, he said that his child had died on the way..."
The third uncle looked at Xiao Rui with a smile and said, "Do you know where my uncle's child died?"
Xiao Rui was silent.
"Ninghai, your uncle's child died in Ninghai City, at least that's what he said." The third uncle smiled kindly.
"Twenty years later, the headquarters of Tenglong Group moved to Ninghai with a high profile. Your aunt's adopted daughter Zhou Mei frequently came into contact with a certain young man. Last night, your uncle directly intervened in a local case and saved that young man from the gunpoint of the police.
One life..."
The third uncle's tone became calmer: "Do you know how old that young man is?...Twenty years old, exactly twenty years old. He is an orphan without a father or a mother."
The pupils in Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
"Third Uncle, if that young man is really my uncle's... Third Uncle, I'm afraid the water at home will get muddier."
The third uncle picked up the scissors again and carefully cut off the branches and leaves of the orchid. He sighed as if carelessly: "Yes, the more you stir it up, the more muddy it becomes..."
Xiao Rui stared at his third uncle steadily. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly smiled: "Third uncle, I know what to do."
After saying that, Xiao Rui stood up, said goodbye and left.
The third uncle's eyes were still staring at the orchid. For some reason, the scissors in his hand trembled slightly, and he cut off a formed purple butterfly petal in the orchid.
"What a pity, hey, what a pity..." Third Uncle murmured and sighed.
