Chen Garden has never been as lively as it is today, at the strong request of the skinny old man.
This time, all direct descendants of the Chen family put down what they were doing and came back. There were more than a hundred people gathered together.
Among these people, there are experts and scholars in various fields, some who have made outstanding contributions in certain aspects, some who are engaged in business or politics, and even some who are developing overseas. They were also called back this time.
Because this old man, although paralyzed in bed, was the successor designated by the old man of the Chen family before his death.
To put it simply, he is the patriarch of their Chen family.
If he really issued a call-up order, everyone in Chen Yuan would have to come back. His son, who was doing business on the coast, also rushed back. He looked unhappy when he saw his father living in such a small house.
But there's nothing we can do. My father is just like that. He said the house wasn't theirs, so he kicked all the Chen family members out to live in it, but he still had to pay a large sum of money for its maintenance every year.
They always say that the Chen family has pawned the house, and that one should keep one's word.
This has been said for so many years that some of the descendants of the Chen family are now wondering whether the owner of Chen Garden is still alive.
Otherwise, how could such a large Chen Garden have never been reclaimed in almost fifty years?
This, is this a joke?
Is the story about the old man pawning the Chen Garden true?
Sometimes Chen Guangliang's grandchildren wondered whether their grandfather had pledged the house in order to motivate them, the descendants of the Chen family, so as to prevent them from living beyond their means.
Do you have to fight on your own?
Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?
Who would have such a big house and such valuable things and not come back to take them back for fifty years?
"I called you here today because I have something important to announce. The owner of this house has finally returned. Our mission has been completed. I can go to the underground to meet my father..."
The skinny old man's words were like a blast from the pot, causing all the descendants of the Chen family to explode on the spot.
Because for the descendants of the Chen family, the idea they have been instilled with since childhood is that this place called Chen Garden by outsiders is not actually theirs.
They were just keeping the house for someone because the house was pawned fifty years ago by Chen Guangliang, the then patriarch of the Chen family and the skinny old man's father.
It seemed like they had exchanged it for something good, and the Chen family had been enjoying it.
But for some unknown reason, no one has come to take over Chen Garden, so the Chen family has always left people here to guard it, waiting for others to take over the house. However, since this is not the core member of the Chen family, no one knows about it.
Moreover, as time went by, no one had come to propose the house for so many years, so the Chen family became silent. No one would have thought that this Chen Garden was not actually owned by the Chen family and had changed hands fifty years ago.
"Uncle, are you sure you are the one who signed the contract with Grandpa? Do you have the pawnshop ticket number? I'm worried that someone knows the Chen family's secret and is deliberately blackmailing us..."
The person who spoke was the skinny old man's nephew.
The Chen family had never tried to cover it up before. There had been a case where someone pretended to be the owner of Chen Garden. Later, the Chen family learned their lesson and did not tell the secret.
Moreover, if you are not the most core descendant, you are not qualified to know this secret, nor are you qualified to see the letters and last words left by Chen Guangliang’s ancestors.
"No, he has the ticket number. I've seen my father's signature and the bloody handprint. It's the same as what my father told me. I can guarantee that he is the one. This house is theirs..."
After the skinny old man said this, his nephew lowered his head and said nothing more. Some people in the crowd were chattering and listening to others telling them that some of the non-core disciples were not very clear about Chen Yuan's situation.
"Grandpa, have you been cheated? What era is this? There are still such things. This Chen Garden originally belongs to us, the Chen family. Why should we give it to others? We are stupid. Do you know the current value of this Chen Garden? Thirty billion, thirty billion and there are people who want it. This is a priceless treasure..."
A young man jumped out from the crowd. This man was actually a member of a branch family named Chen Kui. His grandfather and the skinny old man's grandfather were cousins, but they also had the surname Chen. He was also called over this time.
So he didn't know all about Chen Guangliang's pawning of Chen Yuan.
He had just heard this story from a fellow clan member and was completely stunned and found it unbelievable. Was there such a fool as his second grandfather in the world?
As an old man paralyzed in bed, does he know the value of Chen Garden?
"Yes, great grandfather, this Chen Yuan is not just one person. Even if the old man did something in the past, signed something, isn't it that the old man has passed away? Times have passed, how can it still count?"
"Yes, yes, fifty years, that's long past the deadline! Even if the banker dies, they may not acknowledge the debt, let alone something that happened fifty years ago. Who can tell for sure?"
"That's right, that's right. The person who wrote the contract is no longer around. This doesn't count at all!"
"People in our Chen family have shed blood for Chen Garden. We also spend a lot of money every year to maintain this house. After so many years, it is still a terrifying figure. Why should we give it to others? This is ours!"
"Yes, even if we go to court, I think we will win!"
…
Under the instigation of Chen Kui, many members of the Chen family expressed their dissatisfaction, and the skinny old man lying on the bed had a look of disappointment on his face.
Fortunately, those who were clamoring the loudest were from the side branches, while those core members of the Chen family who already knew the whole story kept silent and did not follow suit.
This comforted the skinny old man a little, and then he pointed at his nephew who was standing closest to him.
"Chen Tian, tell me what you think..."
"I, is what I said useful?"
“It’s useless!”
"That's it, let's just follow uncle's advice. Grandpa has already made up his mind, so let's do it!"
The skinny old man's nephew wore glasses and touched his glasses while speaking. He laughed heartlessly, but it made Chen Kui on the side very angry.
"I object. We are also descendants of the Chen family. Chen Garden is also ours. We don't recognize it and go to court. Chen Guangliang was only the clan leader at the time. He has no right to make any decisions for us. So I won't do it. I also have a share of Chen Garden..."
When Chen Kui thought about the fact that Chen Garden was worth 30 billion, he didn't care about anything else and gritted his teeth and spoke out what was in his heart.
