Chapter 705 (1/2)

When Gao Qi's assistant was calling Zheng Tiancheng, Ningcheng mayor Qiao Jiada also came to the provincial capital. He drove an ordinary Volkswagen car with only one entourage. He dressed very ordinary. Obviously, he didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

After entering Minghu City, Qiao Jiada drove for nearly half an hour and came to a big house. It was a simple looking quadrangle. Although it was simple, it was not shabby, but had a solemn momentum.

Siheyuan is not common in Minghu city. Such a large Siheyuan is unique in the whole Minghu city. However, the family that owns this Siheyuan is unique in the provincial capital. It is known as Qiao family, the largest family in the provincial capital.

Everyone knows that the Qiao family is stronger and stronger from generation to generation. Especially in this generation, there are seven sons and one daughter in the Qiao family. Except for Qiao An'an, who was expelled from the family two years ago, everyone has their own strong points. Some of them are already in high positions.

Qiao Jiada, who has been mayor of Ningcheng since he was young, is naturally one of them.

”Si Shao, you are back.” Just entering the gate, someone came up to greet Qiao Jiada respectfully.

”Is the old man awake?” Asked Qiao Jiada.

”I woke up half an hour ago, waiting for you.” The man replied hastily.

”Well, I'll go in and see him.” Qiao Jiada nodded and quickened his pace to walk inside. However, the man who just met and the entourage who came back with Qiao Jiada stopped consciously.

A few minutes later, Qiao Jiada came to the back yard. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he felt like stepping from the cold winter to the spring, because there were blooming flowers everywhere.

There are many people in the yard now, nearly ten men and women, but they are all surrounded by an old man with gray hair. This old man is the eldest of the Qiao family, that is, Qiao Yingtian, Qiao's grandfather.

Mr. Qiao likes flowers very much, and this yard is the place where he will stay every day. No matter it's windy or rainy, or it's hot or cold winter, he will stay in this yard for a period of time every day. Therefore, no matter what season, there are always flowers blooming in this yard.

”Grandfather, I'm back.” Qiao Jiada went over and nodded to the others, which was a kind of greeting.

”Jiada, you're back. It's good to be back. It's settled?” Qiao Yingtian's face was smiling, but his voice was obviously a little short of breath. In fact, it's no wonder that old man Qiao will be eighty years old in one year.

”Xiao Ge nodded, and there must be no problem with an an.” Qiao Jiada nodded, ”I've already told Xiao Ge about the time. On the 29th day of the lunar calendar, one day before New Year's Eve, we'll meet An'an in Ningcheng city.”

After a little pause, Qiao Jiada continued: ”grandfather, I came back specially, just to make sure that what I said last time is OK? Xiao Ge asked us to meet An'an with the highest standard. All the important members of the Qiao family must go. Have you all agreed now? ”

”Don't worry, I'll make up my mind about it. Now tell those who haven't come back. No matter where they are, they will come back to me right away!” There is no doubt in Qiao Yingtian's tone.
