Chapter 180 [Different Hearts]
As Su Donglai's son, Su Le was busy reporting the demise all afternoon, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the Su family.
At this time, the Su family had already set up a mourning hall, and the main characters in Qianji Gate also began to come one after another. Su Le was not clear about the matter inside Qianji Gate, and he did not know anyone except Pang Runliang and Zuo Qiang.
The eldest sister Su Mingyue cried like tears. A young man beside her was comforting her softly. It was obvious that she was quite caring for her. After Su Le asked, she realized that it was He Yuanzhou, a junior high school classmate who had been in the past. Su Le's heart sank. I remember that his father specifically told her to get engaged to Zong Youwen before his death. He Yuanzhou appeared at this time. I don't know if it was the eldest sister's notification or he rushed over on his own initiative? In Su Le's opinion, the former is more likely. After all, the news of his father's death has not been spread so quickly. Su Le quietly called Minglong over and whispered: "The people from the Zong family will come to pay their respects later, and Zong Youwen will come. Think of a way to let He Yuanzhou avoid it for the time being." He didn't want any unexpected things to happen at this time.
Minglong nodded.
At this time, Lao Mo came over and said to Su Le: "Young Master, I haven't found the second lady yet."
Su Le frowned. Although he had just arrived at the Su family today, he began to feel that this family was not easy to be. He said to Lao Mo: "Let me find her quickly. No matter what she is doing, she must be invited back."
At this time, a servant came over to inform Su Le, and the wife asked him and Su Mingyue to pass by.
Sang Hongxiu sat in the bedroom, and Su Donglai's body was lying on the bed. The calm she showed was beyond everyone's imagination. After learning about Su Donglai's death, Sang Hongxiu did not show sadness or despair, and could not even see any emotional fluctuations on the surface.
After returning home, he came to Su Donglai's body and stayed until now.
After Su Le and Su Mingyue arrived at the room, Sang Hongxiu asked the others to go out first. His eyes glanced at Su Le and Su Mingyue coldly: "No matter whether you think I am your little mother in your heart, I am your father's wife. Today, while your father has not left, we are still a family."
Su Mingyue said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, my father's body is not cold yet. If you have any questions, please wait for the funeral to say it."
Sang Hongxiu shook his head and said, "Now, I know what you are worried about. I can tell you clearly that I will not want a penny of the money from the Su family, so you don't have to worry about me fighting with you. There is another thing. Before your father passed away, we had signed a divorce agreement. Although this matter has not been announced to the public, it is indeed a fact."
Su Mingyue and Su Le looked at each other, and both of them felt that this incident was too sudden. Before, the father did not reveal any slightest sound.
Sang Hongxiu looked at Su Mingyue and said, "We have lived together in this family for fifteen years. I believe you know a little about me. The moment I signed the divorce agreement, I felt relieved. Actually, I want to leave now, but I thought about it. No matter whether I have been happy over the years, I have sex with your father and wife. After all, I should send him a trip when he leaves. This is the respect I can give him, and I also hope that you can give me equal respect. In front of outsiders, I hope that you must call me Xiao Mom, no matter whether you are sincere or false."
Su Mingyue pursed her lips.
Su Le said: "Xiao Mom, we understand!" The reason why Su Le called Sang Hongxiu's little mother was not a kind of surrender, but a kind of transaction. Sang Hongxiu had already given conditions. If they did not accept it, Sang Hongxiu might stage a scene of leaving her father, which puts her father's funeral in an embarrassing situation. Su Le was definitely not a person who could surrender easily, but after his father's death, it was inevitable that the Su family would encounter a storm. Whether it was Zuo Qiang or Sang Hongxiu, they were venting their dissatisfaction with the Su family in their own way. Su Le's concession actually lies in stabilizing these people. Before the father's funeral ended, he should ensure that all contradictions should not intensify.
Su Le also knew that everything was just the beginning, and there were still many troubles waiting for him ahead.
There were much fewer guests coming to pay their respects than expected. When night fell, another important figure from Qianjimen, Zhao Qianchou arrived from the capital. Zhao Qianchou was 37 years old this year. His status in Qianjimen was second only to Su Donglai. He was the leader of Qianmen. When Zhao Qianchou arrived at the Su family, he went to the mourning hall to worship first.
After the filial son thanked the gift, Zhao Qianchou came to Su Mingyue and his brothers to comfort him. This was the first time he saw Su Donglai's son. He had to sigh that Su Donglai was too scheming and had not heard any rumors about Su Le before.
After leaving the mourning hall, someone immediately invited him to the lounge beside him to meet with Zuo Qiang and Pang Runliang and other backbones.
Zuo Qianglala sat in the middle, her expression was quite majestic and proud today. There has always been a conflict between him and Zhao Qianchou. In the past few years, there has been no friction between the two. Fortunately, Su Donglai suppressed the situation, and the conflict between the two has not intensified.
Seeing Zhao Qianchou walking into the room, Zuo Qiang couldn't help but say, "Qianchou came so fast. I thought you would arrive tomorrow. You are really affectionate to the sect leader."
Zhao Qianchou sighed. He was in the mood to argue with Zuo Qiang today: "The sect leader suddenly passed away, of course I have to come here as soon as possible!" He sat down opposite Zuo Qiang, took the tea handed over, and drank the tea ceremony: "But I don't know what will the sect leader left behind, and where should Qianjimen go in the future?"
What Zhao Qianchou said was the most concerned issue for everyone. Su Donglai walked too suddenly and did not give any detailed explanations about Qianjimen's affairs. When Zhao Qianchou said this, he looked at Pang Runliang. In Qianjimen, most people knew that Pang Runliang was deeply trusted by Su Donglai and often followed Su Donglai's side to make suggestions. He should be clear about Su Donglai's aftermath.
Pang Runliang said: "Before the sect leader died, he asked me to assist the young master well, and he also passed the Wujin ring representing the sect leader's power to the young master."
Zuo Qiang laughed first: "I can't figure it out until now. Donglai's son has been lost for eighteen years. Why did he find him so coincidentally before he died? I heard that patients with advanced liver cancer are prone to hepatic encephalopathy and tend to think randomly in their minds. I wonder if Donglai is wrong." Zuo Qiang's performance is the most exposed one. He even didn't even bother to call the sect leader, so he simply called him his name. This was something he did not dare to do during Su Donglai's lifetime.
Zhao Qianchou despised Zuo Qiang's character from his heart and said calmly: "Although the sect leader did not say that he wanted to pass the Qianji Sect to the young master, the meaning of giving him the ring is the same. Does the sect leader want the young master to inherit his position?"
Zuo Qiang sneered: "It's just a ring, it's just a symbol. Could it be that the ring is lost? No matter who picks it up, we will respectfully call him the sect leader?"
Shang Daoyuan, the elder of the Memorial Sect, said: "Since Su Le is the biological son of the sect leader, it is natural that he inherits the position of the sect leader."
Zuo Qiang said: "What era is it now? Who stipulates that the position of the sect leader can be hereditary? Is there any of the rules of Qianjimen?"
Shang Daoyuan argued with reason: "But it says that the sect leader was nominated by the previous sect leader. The sect leader pointed the Wujin ring that represented the sect leader to Su Le, which was the same as nominating him as the sect leader."
Pang Runliang looked at the two of them coldly at the dispute. From this, it seems that Su Donglai is still a loyal follower. Although Shang Daoyuan is of high level in Qianji Sect, his power is ordinary. Although he represents the opinions of some people, he will not have a decisive impact on the overall situation. The person who can really affect the overall situation should be Zhao Qianchou and Zuo Qiang. Their final choice can determine where Qianji Sect will go in the future. Pang Runliang does not have a deep understanding of Zhao Qianchou, but in fact, Zhao Qianchou became a real power figure in Qianji Sect five years ago.
, Previously, the leader of Qianmen was always his father Zhao Bantian. After Zhao Bantian retired, Su Donglai still ignored the opposition and helped Zhao Qianchou become the backbone of the sect. From this point of view, Su Donglai was undoubtedly kind to him. In fact, Zhao Qianchou showed outstanding leadership skills shortly after he took office, which is also one of the reasons why he was able to quickly gather prestige in Qianjimen at a young age. Before Su Le appeared, many people, including Pang Runliang, thought that Zhao Qianchou would become Su Donglai's successor in the future.
Zuo Qiang said: "I always think that the master of the sect is a virtuous person. Donglai has just left and his body is not cold. I, Zuo Qiang, have no intention of disrespect to him at all. But respect is one thing, and choosing an heir for Qianjimen is another thing. Su Le is Su Donglai's biological flesh and blood. It is natural for him to inherit the wealth of the Su family. But I think everyone understands one thing: Shijimen is not Donglai's private property, and some things are destined to be unsuccessful. We cannot affect the great cause in the sect because of our private feelings, and cannot affect the interests of everyone because of the interests of the Su family." He turned his eyes to Zhao Qianchou: "Qianchou, do you think I'm right?"
