C247 Your Mother Died a Long Time ago
Of course, Xia Wan was also among them.
Xia Wan felt that it was very strange.
When Zhang Tao brought her over, he said that he could see her mother here.
So Xia Wan came over.
She even said that she was alone.
However, when Zhang Tao walked to the banquet hall, he did not mention this matter and just let Xia Wan sit and eat.
Her younger brother, Xia Jie, was by his side.
"Jie, didn't Brother Tao tell you that he wants to see Mommy?"
"No."
Xia Jie looked puzzled and said, "Brother Tao only said that he wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner and didn't say anything else."
Today's New Year's Eve dinner was quite big.
Xia Wan saw many strangers between men and women.
She pointed at those strangers and asked Xia Jie, "Among those people, there shouldn't be anyone who is mother, right?"
Xia Jie shook his head. "No, there are people from the Qian family over there. The leader is the patriarch of the Qian family, Qian Moo, and his foolish son, Qian Zhu. Those unfamiliar women are either women from the Qian family, or our aunt."
"Qian family?"
"That's right. The major families in Taiqian City controlled the economic lifeline of the Taiqian City. Their status is similar to the Zhang family." said the elder brother.
"It's the New Year. Are the two families eating together?"
"I don't know what's going on either. Perhaps Brother Tao has his own thoughts."
"But Brother Tao told me that Mommy wants to see us."
Xia Jie didn't know what was going on either. "Where's brother-in-law? Didn't brother-in-law come with you?"
"No. Brother Tao said that Mommy only wants to see the two of us."
Xia Wan realized that she might have been cheated, but she was not sure what to do in a short period of time.
"Let's wait for a while. Brother Tao is a good person. He should not lie."
Xia Wan and Xia Jie both thought Zhang Tao was a good person, so they chose to believe him.
But whether he was good or not, who knew.
The Qian family was led by the patriarch of the family, Qian Moo. Since everyone from the family had come to the Zhang family as guests, the Zhang family naturally had to act as a host.
Zhang Akui toasted, "Old Qian, it's your first time drinking in our family during the new year, right? How do you feel? "
Qian Moo raised his glass. "After all, we will be relatives in the future. I will definitely come often in the future."
"Hahaha, of course, we will be relatives in the future."
At the same time, Zhang Akui said to Xia Wan, "Wan, quickly toast to your Uncle Qian."
Xia Wan was stunned for a moment.
To Uncle Qian?
What exactly was going on?
Xia Wan was the granddaughter of the Zhang family. Why did they want her to propose a toast?
They didn't need Zhang Tao, Zhang Qin, and the others, so why did they use Xia Wan?
But as a junior, Xia Wan couldn't refuse.
So Xia Wan raised her glass and toasted to Qian Moo. At the same time, she said, "Happy New Year to Uncle Qian."
"Haha, good." After Qian Moo finished drinking, he quickly took out a red packet.
Seeing Xia Wan toasting him, Qian Moo simply beamed with joy.
Zhang Akui asked Qian Moo, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed not bad. She is Amei's daughter?"
"Of course. Our family's Amei is originally beautiful. Her daughter is even more beautiful."
"Good, not bad, not bad."
At this time, Qian Moo said to his foolish son, Qian Zhu, who was beside him, "Quickly take a look at Wan. What do you think?"
Qian Zhu was especially dumbfounded.
He was about 2.3 meters tall and weighed about 300 kilograms.
Qian Zhu did not have the aura of a noble young master on him. He only felt that he was an idiot.
However, it did not sound good to say this out loud.
In fact, everyone knew that Qian Zhu of Qian family was a fool after he was born.
He was the eldest son of Qian Moo.
When he was young, the Qian family had found many doctors to treat Qian Zhu.
But no one could cure him.
Thus, there was no other way.
Although Qian Zhu's brain wasn't working, his body was especially strong.
He didn't need to train his body to be very strong.
It couldn't be helped. No matter what, he was still an idiot.
Now that Qian Zhu was at a suitable age for marriage, he wanted to find a daughter who was about the same age as him.
At first, Qian Moo thought that as long as there was a woman who was willing to marry Qian Zhu, it would be fine. He didn't need to worry about that at all.
In any case, the Qian family had money. It shouldn't be difficult for them to find a wife for their foolish son.
However, when he heard that Qian Zhu wanted to marry, Zhang Akui volunteered.
At that time, Zhang Akui thought that the Zhang family should marry the Qian family, so he considered marrying the daughter of the Zhang family.
To let the daughter of the Zhang family marry a fool?
He was afraid that no one would be willing to marry the daughter of the ___.
Qian Moo didn't really believe it at first, but after Zhang Akui promised him again and again, he felt that the Zhang family really had such intentions.
At the beginning, this task fell on Zhang Qin's shoulders.
Originally, the family had arranged for Zhang Qin to marry Qian Zhu.
But how could Zhang Qin be happy?
Zhang Qin had been pampered since she was a child. She had been looking for all kinds of men in her life. Wouldn't it be a waste of her life to marry a fool in the Qian family?
Although that was what she said, she had to do it.
Zhang Akui racked his brain and finally thought of the child that the Zhang family had left behind outside.
It was also Zhang Amei's daughter, Xia Wan!
Xia Wan could be considered half a member of the Zhang family and marrying Qian Zhu was not a lie to Qian Moo. Furthermore, Qian Moo was rather happy about it.
Of course, Qian Moo knew that Zhang Qin would not agree, so it was fine if a granddaughter of the Zhang family could marry her.
His son was a fool. As long as he could find a wife that was more or less the same, it would be fine.
So Xia Wan was the best candidate.
Previously, Zhang Akui had sent people to investigate for a long time. Although he knew that Xia Wan was married, this was a small matter to Zhang family.
What the Zhang family needed to do was to ensure that Xia Wan was married to Qian Zhu, in order to improve the relationship between the Zhang family and the Qian family.
No wonder the people of the Zhang family treated Xia Wan very well.
No wonder Zhang Tao brought Xia Wan out to play and arranged a villa for her.
No wonder Zhang Tao even gave his Vance bar to Xia Jie.
No wonder Zhang Qin directly said thank you the first time she saw Xia Wan.
It turned out that all of this was a trap!
They had planned the trap and did not care whether Xia Wan agreed or not. They directly showed Xia Wan.
At this moment, Xia Wan was somewhat puzzled.
She asked, "May I ask everyone, what did the words just now mean?"
Zhang Tao said somewhat embarrassedly, "That Wan, sit down first. I will explain it clearly to you later."
"No need to wait!" Zhang Akui said, "The family has decided to send you to the Qian family for a marriage alliance. You will marry the young master of the Qian family, Qian Zhu."
"What did you say?!"
Xia Wan felt her head spinning. She had never thought that there would be such a thing.
Xia Jie was also stunned.
"Uncle, Brother Tao, did you guys make a mistake? My sister has already..."
"Jie!" Zhang Tao immediately stopped Xia Jie. "Just do what you need to do. Don't just ask around."
"But, but..."
At this time, Qian Moo was very angry.
"What's wrong? It seems like your Zhang family hasn't made it clear? Is it because our Qian family isn't good enough? "
Zhang Akui hastily advised.
"Haha, Old Qian, are you joking? I will definitely settle this matter. I have already promised you, what are you afraid of?"
"It's best not to make any mistakes. Our Qian family still needs face."
"Of course, of course. How could I, Zhang Akui, slap your Qian family's face?"
At this moment, Xia Wan was very angry.
"No! Absolutely not! I want to see my mother! "
Zhang Akui instantly became angry, and his face turned ashen.
"Your mother is already dead!"
