Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 570: Getting Fair Desserts
Yao Chengdong is almost 50 years old this year and his children have graduated college. In his capacity as a state official, he usually lived in the capital and had his own residence in an upscale villa complex.
If it was before, he should have fallen asleep earlier and met the Duke of Zhou — Dream Gods — to drink tea and weave dreams of golden millets, dreaming of riches and glory. But today, she was struck by insomnia. He had once observed the position of the Family Head and had a fight with his elder brother — Yao Chengqing in secret, hence they regarded each other as thorns in the eyes of each other; even the idea of throwing the other away really crossed their minds, even if only for a short while.
However, she had a hard time accepting the fact that her brother was killed today. It made the competition to take over the position of the Family Head, and the path for him to become the head of the family would definitely be very easy. However ... he could see another serious problem arising from him. Even if he did become the patriarch of the family, but if the Yao Family itself declined, then what was the point of that?
Ring, ring, ring…
His phone ringtone interrupted and startled him from his daydream. When he picked up his phone and saw the caller ID on the screen, his skin changed and hurriedly connected it, saying, "Are you looking for me, Dad?"
"Chengdong, you have to promise me one thing. "Yao Qingzun's voice came out of the phone.
"What are you talking about, Dad?" Yao Chengdong asked, puzzled.
"Resign from your current job and return to the capital to take charge of family affairs," Yao Qingzun said.
Yao Chengdong was stunned and his complexion changed drastically. After jumping from his chair, he quickly shouted, “What did you say, Father? My current position is very important, how could I resign from it? Then our Yao Family … "
“Our family is now in a precarious state, and the family will have a hard time getting out of this crisis if you do not return. "Yao Qingzun cut him off and said in a heavy tone. “Don't ask anything. I had no other choice and was forced by something I couldn't tell you. ”
"What's the problem, Dad? Please tell me, I .. "Chap Yao Chengdong hastily.
"Don't ask me anything more, and remember my words. "Yao Qingzun cut him off again and continued speaking in a heavy tone. "You should resign from your position as soon as possible and return to our ancestral residence in Beijing to take over the family. Moreover, never fight with the Tang Family again. Try to ease the relationship between our two families as far as possible. ”
After saying that, Yao Qingzun directly hung up the phone.
While looking at Yao Qingzun with a stern expression, Tang Xiu nodded and sighed in praise, “You truly deserve to be the patriarch of the Yao Family. You do things directly and decisively. Alright, I'll give you half an hour, and it'll be better if you waste time. ”
Yao Qingzun was silent for a moment, and his entire body seemed to grow older as he slowly walked to the room cabinet and opened the drawer, taking out the medicine bottle from inside. He then filled up a glass of water and poured out all the sleeping pills from within as he turned his head to look at Tang Xiu deeply before taking out all the sleeping pills in his hands.
“Losers are always wrong. My Yao family has gone missing; I don't need to complain. I hope you can give a little attention to my family so that our future generations can continue to live on. If ... if your Tang Family still hasn't vented enough of your anger, you can throw my Yao Family descendants out of Beijing; you can even expel them from China. ”
Tang Xiu felt a bit complicated inside, yet he steeled his heart and nodded. The Yao and Tang Families were old enemies, and the Tang Family suffered some losses under the persecution of the Yao Family for many years. Although there were no direct descendants of the Tang Family who died at their hands, many people from dependant families under the Tang Family as well as a large number of talents nurtured by the Tang Family had died at the hands of the Yao Family.
Returning to the events of the past, what happened to his father might also have the shadow of the Yao Family behind him.
Tang Xiu watched Yao Qingzun go to his bed, lay down and pulled the blanket onto his body. He then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After turning on one, he took a deep puff and then waved his hand.
Whooshing sound!
Dark's figure instantly disappeared.
After taking another deep puff, Tang Xiu slowly stood up as he looked at Yao Qingzun, who was about to lose his consciousness, and muttered to himself, "You just told yourself the eternal truth: you are: losers are always wrong. Since you started, you should be aware of the fate of the losers. After all, your sons and grandsons are already waiting for you in the Underworld, so you won't be lonely there. ”
Tonight, apart from the small episode of Tang Xiu's arrival, everything in the Yao Family's ancestral residence seemed to be very calm. Even Yao Chengdong, who had arrived late to his ancestral home, only stood outside the door of his father's house and did not dare to step in.
In the early hours. . .
After waiting outside the door for most of the night, Yao Chengdong looked at the door with his brows furrowed. According to his father's habits, he should have woken up by now. But how has there been no sound at all all this time?
. Aaaa . . .
A shrill scream came from the small courtyard next door.
Yao Chengdong's expression changed slightly, as he then rushed to the small courtyard next door. She saw the frightened housekeeper sitting on the ground. He then followed the direction he was looking for.
"WHAT?"
Two bodies were lying in a corner with bloodstains almost drying up on their bodies, covered by several sheets of newspapers but not completely covering their bodies. Yao Chengdong dashed towards the two corpses and crouched down to inspect them. He suddenly lifted his head and seemed to remember something as he ran to the next yard and kicked at his father's door. Arriving at the room, her toned heart subsided after seeing her father lying on his back on the bed.
There was no movement or sound from him. Yao Qingzun was still lying on the bed, and his entire body was motionless.
Yao Chengdong was silent. He knew that his father slept very well, and would wake up when there was little movement. However, how could he not move at all after he kicked the door and called out to her? After hesitating for a moment and when he was about to call out to her again, his eyes turned to the cabinet.
Medicine bottles?
He walked over and took the medicine bottle. Upon seeing the dosage instructions on it, his students immediately contracted as he ran to the bedside in panic and shouted, "DAD, WAKE up !!!"
Even shouting did not give a response!
Yao Chengdong's heart was stuck in his throat. He hurriedly placed his hands under his father's nostrils. What scared him was that his father was not breathing, as he quickly grabbed his father's wrist and pressed his ear against his father's chest.
"How did this happen?"
Yao Chengdong's face had no color and he staggered backwards with his entire body feeling cold. Two tears fell on his face, but these tears were unable to cover the pain he felt.
****
Beijing, the Tang Family's ancestral residence.
Tang Xiu sat in three people: Tang Guosheng, Tang Guoxing, and Tang Guoshou. On both sides were separately six people: Tang Yunpeng, Tang Yunde, Tang Yunqing, Tang Dong, Tang Min, and Tang Yan.
"Did he really die?" Ask Tang Guosheng. There was a complicated look in his eyes, and his voice was extremely low and deep.
"Yes, he killed himself," Tang Xiu said with a nod.
Tang Guosheng closed his eyes, and then only opened them again after a long period of time. Then, he stood up and walked to the winecase, took out a bottle of wine and then sat down in a distant place. He then poured a bottle of wine into the place in front of him and muttered, “Older sister, we have struggled for a lifetime. And now that you are walking in front of me, I still want to send you properly as your opponent. I hope that we will not be enemies again in our next life. ”
After saying that, Tang Guosheng broke the bottle and suddenly looked at Tang Xiu and spoke in a deep voice, “Xiuer, let this matter end here. The Patriarch of the Yao Family had died and their families were hit with heavy losses. Even if they wanted to risk everything to fight our family, maybe they had already lost their nerve. ”
"There's something I have to say before," Tang Xiu said.
"What's wrong?" Ask Tang Guosheng.
"Yao Chengdong will immediately resign from his current position and return to the capital to take over the position of Family Head," Tang Xiu explained.
Tang Guosheng's eyes twinkled and quickly asked, "Is that what you're doing too?"
"Religion . "Tang Xiu nodded. "Yao Qingzun called out to him before he died. ”
Rubbing his hands, an excited expression could be seen on Tang Guosheng's face as he said, "Until now, Yao Chengdong is the only one holding weight in the entire Yao Family. As long as he retired from his current position, the Yao Family could be considered a force that no longer needed to be feared. ”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly before clapping his hands. The door was then opened from the outside as Light walked in with a slightly smiling expression. He handed Tang Xiu a stack of documents before leaving the room.
"What's this?" Tang Guosheng's eyebrows shot up and asked curiously.
The other Tang family members in the room also looked curious. They did not know what information was contained in the documents in Tang Xiu's hands, nor could they know what Tang Xiu had in mind. Nevertheless, they had a vague feeling that this information might be very important to the Tang Family by looking at Tang Xiu's faint smiling expression.
Tang Xiu handed the documents to Tang Guosheng and said, “We and Yaos may not have had a deep hatred before, either, but now both families can be said to have deep hatred due to the bloodshed. Even if our family wants to pardon and let the Yao Family go, I fear that the Yao Family will take aim at our family in the future once they recover. Therefore, I think we should do something to avoid trouble in the future! "
Tang Guosheng did not ask for anything more but directly read the documents along with Tang Guoxing and Tang Guoshou. The more they read, the more their expressions became strange as the three men wore worried and frightened expressions in the end.
“If a natural disaster befalls a person, then that person can be forgiven, but if it is their own making, then that person deserves punishment. I was worried that the Yao Family would be finished if we revealed everything on these documents; everyone would jump at the chance to finish them off. With Yao Qingzun's death, their heavy losses, and Yao Chengdong resigned from his position, coupled with information about the family on these documents, if many troops … not moving to take part in swallowing the entire Yao Family, then they would forcefully annihilate them! "After a long stay of silence, Tang Guosheng finally couldn't bear to sigh deeply.
"Religion . "Tang Guosheng nodded. “Again, there are only a handful of people who are so good at helping a paralyzed dog on top of a pile, whereas the number of people who add fuel to a fire is too many to count. The evil seeds planted by the Yao Family would eventually return to them. ”
“After all, I promised Yao Qingzun that we will not take revenge on the descendants of the Yao Family later. "Tang Xiu smiled. "Even if we don't exterminate them, however, others who have no connection with the Tang Family will do the deed. For us, there is a good story that sandpipers and shellfish quarrel and fishermen as a third party benefit from the tussle and capture both. Hence, let our family sit and wait, and for the wealth of the Yao Family! ”
