"...In fact, we don't know everything that happened back then. We basically rely on various clues and unusual guesses. But even though there is no definite evidence, we can be sure that these guesses are almost certainly correct."

"I was hired by the Fang family when the lady just got married. The lady offered a very high salary at that time and she was also very kind. I took this job very seriously and worked hard. In order to keep this job, I was more careful than other servants and nannies. From the time the lady was pregnant with the eldest young master until the birth, I never relaxed for a moment."

"Even during the whole year when my wife was pregnant and gave birth, I didn't even take a single day off. On the day my wife gave birth, I was with her from beginning to end. Fortunately, the eldest son was born safely. My wife was considerate of me and insisted on giving me a day off so that I could go home and have a good rest."

"At that time, I thought that since I hadn't rested for a year and my wife was in confinement after childbirth, it wouldn't be a big deal, so I happily went home for half a month... But who knew that when I went back half a month later, I found something was wrong."

"Although most newborn babies look alike, and I only looked at them for a while after they were born, there are always some differences. I remember that when the eldest young master was born, he had a red mole on his chest..."

"We country folk are superstitious. There are explanations for where moles appear on the body. This mole is on the front of the body, and there is a lucky saying that a mole on the back of a person is auspicious. I even boasted about it to other nannies and servants with a smile."

"But when I came back from vacation, I found that the red mole on the young master's chest was gone..."

Speaking of this.

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but secretly glance at Fang Ziyang's face and found that apart from his eyes becoming a little deeper, there was no change in his expression at all. She couldn't help but become more nervous and scared.

But things had come to this point, and the young master was their family's only chance of survival, so she had no choice but to continue explaining.

"I thought it was strange at the time, but because the young master looked a lot like the master, I didn't think too much about it. I thought it was my own fault that I didn't see clearly..."

"Later, my wife was diagnosed with a tumor and went to the hospital for surgery. The operation went smoothly and the doctor said that as long as she took good care of herself, recovery would not be a problem. But who knew that a few days after the operation, my wife stopped breathing in an emergency one night."

"Although all the tests at the time showed that my wife didn't make it due to her health, I just felt like something was wrong."

"Well, our family was not short of money at that time, and my wife had always been very good to me, and I was on her side. So after thinking it over, I asked your uncle Liu to secretly check if there was anything special about the day my wife passed away... The result was, the result."

"What's the result?"

Fang Ziyang had a blank expression on his face, and his voice seemed to express no emotion.

Aunt Zhang was trembling and dared not speak.

Uncle Liu could only bite the bullet and speak, "As a result, I went to check the hospital surveillance, but coincidentally, the surveillance was broken that day. But the nurse on duty at the hospital said that on the afternoon of the day when the lady passed away, the eldest master went to see the lady and stayed for half an hour..."

"After the young master left, the lady pressed the emergency bell in a very emotional state, and then called the husband. However, the husband was very busy that day and did not go there in the afternoon. He went there in the evening. After that, the husband and the lady stayed in the room alone and talked for an hour."

"But they didn't seem to be getting along well. They seemed to be arguing, and finally the husband left in anger. And the wife...had an acute attack and died in the middle of the night."

Uncle Liu's voice became lower and lower.

Although there are all kinds of unfounded anomalies from beginning to end, when they are connected together, the information is terrifying.

If Fang Qianhao is really Fang Yandong's illegitimate son, then many problems that have been bothering Fang Ziyang can be solved.

Because of their different mothers, he and Fang Qianhao were not as close as their other brothers;

But because they have the same father, he and Fang Qianhao are relatives no matter how their blood relationship is determined;

And because of their different mothers, Fang Yandong's attitude towards the two brothers was completely different...

Then there was his mother’s death.

Maybe it really was an accident due to physical reasons, but it is also very likely that there is some truth behind it.

We may as well make a bold guess that the mother saw her brother first on the day she died, and perhaps she learned from some of her brother's actions and words that the child she loved was actually her husband's illegitimate child, while her own son was nowhere to be found.

Then, in a fit of rage, she called Fang Yandong to question him. The conversation was very unpleasant. Her husband walked away, and his mother was confused and emotional, and suddenly died in the middle of the night...

After all, people who have just undergone surgery are extremely weak and cannot be stimulated.

Of course, it is possible that someone tampered with the hospital equipment and breathing tubes, but it is too difficult to find evidence after so many years. Even if there is evidence, it is likely to have been destroyed long ago.

Fang Ziyang had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart there was a volcanic eruption of anger, and a deep chill down his spine.

It's not that he doesn't know that Fang Yandong is cruel, but if what Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang said is true, then he obviously underestimated how ruthless Fang Yandong is to him, his mother, and perhaps his real brother.

Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. What kind of person is this father, whom he once respected and admired?

Forcing himself to calm down, Fang Ziyang was silent for a long time, then took out the photo he got from Yan Tong and handed it to him.

"Look at this photo. Do you recognize the woman in it?"

Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and carefully took the photo.

Then.

Uncle Liu shook his head.

Aunt Zhang remembered something and hesitated for a while before nodding as if to confirm, "I seem to have some impression of this woman..."

Fang Ziyang's heart suddenly tightened.

Aunt Zhang continued as she recalled, "I have seen this woman, but I don't remember her name. She told Madam that she was not even a good friend, but that she met Madam during her pregnancy checkup..."

"My wife and she had a good chat at that time, and then it happened that the wards were next to each other. It was inevitable that the two pregnant women would become close when they talked about their children, but it was limited to socializing in the hospital."

"The background of this photo is that hospital. It looks like it was taken when my wife had just given birth to our eldest son. I happened to be home on vacation, so I don't remember my wife taking a photo with her."

Although the memory is a little fuzzy, I still remember it roughly. After all, this woman talked to my wife about parenting for two or three months.

Aunt Zhang carefully handed the photo back after she had finished looking at it, and said curiously, "Young Master, where did you get this photo? I remember that there seemed to be no such photo among Madam's belongings..."

Fang Ziyang didn't answer.

He also wanted to know where this photo of Yan Tong came from and what this photo had to do with him?

Or rather...what does it have to do with his real brother.

Fang Ziyang closed his eyes and tried to suppress his emotions. "Since you guys guessed that Fang Qianhao is my father's illegitimate son, do you have any guesses about that woman?"

Since there is an illegitimate child, there must be a lover, or even some kind of "true love", otherwise why would Fang Yandong be so partial to and love Fang Qianhao.

"this……"

Uncle Liu shook his head in embarrassment. "Although we have some guesses, we don't have any direction. The gentleman seems to be very self-disciplined."

Ever since they suspected that Fang Qianhao was an illegitimate child, the couple had been investigating privately, just to get some substantial evidence in their hands so that they wouldn't be dealt with in the future when they were useless.

But unfortunately, the gentleman concealed the secret so well that they gained nothing.

But as a woman, Zhang Ma is more gossipy and knows more.

"We don't know whether the gentleman has any secret lover, but there was a woman who always pestered the gentleman in the past. This is no secret. Everyone knew something about it back then. That woman was so shameless that she was like a lunatic. No matter how the gentleman refused, it was useless. She was like a dog-skin plaster..."

"Even after Madam gave birth to the eldest young master, that woman did not stop. She kept making trouble for sir for several years. It was not until Madam became pregnant with you, the young master, that the woman gave up and left."

"Is the other person's name Zheng Yating?"

Fang Ziyang recalled what he saw in the golden book.

If he is a vicious cannon fodder in the golden book, then Zheng Yating is an excellent villain. This woman is so infatuated with Fang Yandong that she is obsessed.

In the plot, in order to marry Fang Yandong, Zheng Yating committed a crime to steal Fang Yandong's sperm for in vitro fertilization, hoping to use the child to achieve her goal.

It's a pity that the child didn't survive after being born. For this reason, Zheng Yating didn't give up and went to the orphanage to adopt Yan Tong, ready to continue her crazy and irrational plan.

But in the end, the truth came out, and Yan Tong, Fang Yandong, and a group of spare men continued to love each other...

His guess was correct.

Aunt Zhang nodded, "Yes, that's the name. Did you hear about it, young master? Speaking of which, this woman is really annoying. I heard that if her sister hadn't been friends with you before and saved your life, you would never have tolerated her for so many years."

elder sister?

etc!

Fang Ziyang sat up straight suddenly, and an incredible guess flashed through his mind.

check.

Start with Zheng Yating’s sister.

If he follows the clues, he might get a surprise.

If all goes well, he will not only be able to find out what happened back then, but he may also be able to find his real...brother.

Surprise, anxiety, and anticipation.

Although he still doesn't know whether his real brother is as bad as Fang Qianhao, Fang Ziyang still can't help but look forward to it.

What if the other party is different from Fang Yandong’s relatives?

Does this mean that he is no longer just one person in this world?

We must continue to investigate.

However, this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. What is more important right now is to quickly get back the money that Fang Yandong has cheated from him over the years.

Finally I couldn't control my emotions and took a deep breath.

Fang Ziyang suppressed his joy and looked at Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang in front of him.

"I won't bother with you about the past for now, but from now on, once you're on my boat, don't even think about anything else, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't be more ruthless than Fang Yandong."

"The first thing I'm going to do for you now is to tell Fang Yandong that I'm planning to hold an antique jade exhibition..."

For Fang Yandong.

Whether it was the indifference and ruthlessness in his previous life or the things he gradually discovered after his rebirth, Fang Ziyang had to give up on this father.

If he could still deceive himself before and say that his father was bewitched and treated him badly, but now all the evidence shows that Fang Yandong may never have had the slightest father-son affection for him.

In this case, he no longer needs to show mercy.

He would get the money back from Fang Yandong in the same way he had cheated him out of it!

…

After hearing Fang Ziyang's words, Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang went to Fang Yandong to "report" without hesitation that night.

Now that they have boarded the young master's ship, there is absolutely no way to regret. Even if we don't take into account the young master's current methods, even if they don't betray Fang Yandong, they are afraid that they will not live happily for long.

I can only blame myself for being too greedy at the beginning. I didn't see Fang Yandong's character clearly and got on his boat, and have been stuck in this path until now.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang were not very loyal and steadfast people to begin with, but in order to protect their family of three, they rebelled without any pressure.

"What? He's going to hold an antique jade exhibition?"

Fang Yandong never expected that his youngest son, who had been well-behaved for more than ten years, would suddenly wake up. He also did not take Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang, two small figures, seriously. When he heard the report, he immediately frowned.

It was not good news for him that his youngest son was going to hold an antique jade exhibition.

In order to coax the dividends from Fang Ziyang's shares over the years, he had put in a lot of effort. He specifically asked Zhang Ma to raise her youngest son to have a character that indulged in enjoyment and extravagance, and designed a plan to use fake antiques and fake jade to get a large sum of money out of the other party.

It was precisely because of these funds that he was able to move more easily in the group and eventually become the chairman of the board of directors.

Now that Fang Ziyang is going to hold an exhibition, does that mean that those fake antiques and fake jades locked in the basement have to be taken out for people to see?

It would be fine if all the people who came to the exhibition were laymen, but if there was one person who knew the goods, wouldn't he be in trouble?

But given the status of the Fang family, wouldn't it be possible that those who heard about it would be fools who didn't know the value of the family? That's absolutely impossible! If anyone who knows the business lets it slip, it will be a big deal!

Fang Yandong was in a bad mood.

"Why did he suddenly have such an idea?"

Why hold an exhibition when there is no reason to do so? Can't you just lock the treasure in the basement and watch it yourself?

Uncle Liu wiped his sweat and moved cautiously.

"I heard from the young master that he feels that he has been too unlucky these past two days, so he wants to find something happy to cheer him up. He doesn't want to go to banquets or parties for the time being, and he finds bungee jumping and skiing tiring. The only thing left is to play with his favorite antique jade, so he might as well hold an exhibition to cheer himself up..."

Aunt Zhang nodded, looking very embarrassed.

"We tried to persuade the young master, but you know his temper. He has been in a bad mood these days because of the hot search video. He doesn't listen to others' advice. Once we talk to him, he gets angry and we can't stop him at all."

"Sir, what should we do now? Those antique jades are all fake. If someone sees them, we won't be able to hide the truth!"

what to do?

Fang Yandong also wanted to ask what to do!

Things have been going smoothly for him in recent years, and he hasn't been so troubled for a long time. He really didn't expect that the hot search video would have such a big impact on his youngest son.

Not only did he almost lose the trust of his youngest son, but yesterday he heard that his youngest son actually beat up Xie Wenxu! It happened in public and many people knew about it!

He hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, but then this exhibition came up.

It's like opening Pandora's box, bad things happen one after another.

Fang Ziyang has not yet obtained the shares of the group, and he has not yet been able to take out the inheritance left by Mr. Lu. If his youngest son notices anything now, given his temper, he will probably expose the truth to him.

Fang Yandong's elegant face was slightly gloomy, "This exhibition cannot be held. Aunt Zhang, go call the young master over..."

Zhang Ma hesitated when she heard this.

Uncle Liu tried to persuade him, "No, sir, you can't yell. The young master was really upset by the hot search video this time, and he's in a bad mood. With his temper, the more we persuade him, the more he's going to do it."

"Are we going to let him do whatever he wants and then report it to the police? That's over 2 billion, not a piece of trash worth over 20 yuan!"

A series of bad things have made it difficult for Fang Yandong to control his temper recently.

The look he gave Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang was not good.

"I give you huge sums of money every year to keep an eye on him, and this is how you treat me? It's bad enough that you didn't notice anything when he contacted the lawyers to do a live broadcast, but you couldn't even persuade them about such a small matter as the exhibition. Am I supporting you for free?"

With such a tone, anyone who is familiar with Fang Yandong would know that he is angry.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang have been with each other for so long, how could they not hear it?

Aunt Zhang was so scared that she kept saying, "No, no, sir, we have always been very careful to watch the young master, but the young master has a temper like that, and he will easily act recklessly when provoked..."

Uncle Liu nodded in agreement and carefully suggested,

"Sir, Huifen and I are not trying to shirk responsibility, but accidents are unpredictable. I'm afraid we can't stop the young master from holding an antique jade exhibition. If we tell him, he will definitely get suspicious. Why don't we just go along with him and let him do it."

"It's just an exhibition anyway. Those antiques in the basement are worthless. We can find some real things to replace them before the exhibition and fool people on the day of the exhibition. It will definitely be fine."

"My son has connections, so I can borrow some stuff from him. But the cost is..."

Antiques worth 2.3 billion are not easy to borrow, and it cannot be done without paying a small amount of handling fee.

Fang Yandong thought for a while with a gloomy face before handing over a card.

"If this matter still can't be handled well, you three will have to go back to the countryside. I don't want to keep idle people here."

His tone was no longer his usual elegant one, but rather arrogance, like an emperor who holds the power of life and death.

"Yes, sir."

Aunt Zhang and Uncle Liu lowered their heads and made timid assurances, as submissive as ever.

However, they felt a little resentful in their hearts. Wasn't the master just richer than them? He was not an ancient emperor. Every time he gave an order, he acted like an emperor and gave alms, and didn't take them seriously.

Since the master doesn't treat them as human beings and doesn't give them a chance to live, it's no wonder they betrayed him.

…

Using the excuse that he was stimulated and his personality changed suddenly, Fang Yandong had no way of stopping the antique jade exhibition in order to avoid failure.

But maybe it was because of his intuition, Fang Yandong always felt that something was wrong. He could not stop the antique jade exhibition, but he could speed up the authorization of Fang Group's shares.

I agreed to come back the next night after the exhibition, and the share authorization agreement that we had agreed on earlier was ready.

Fang Ziyang had expected this and did not resist. He signed obediently.

Of course, as compensation and appeasement, Fang Qianhao was also forced by Fang Yandong to sign a waiver of inheritance from Grandpa Lu, and all the inheritance funds left for his mother would be inherited by him.

Fang Qianhao was naturally very unwilling to do this, but compared to the shares of Fang Group, he had to give up Grandpa Lu's money even if he was reluctant!

The person he liked was bullied by Fang Ziyang, and his money was taken away by Fang Ziyang. When Fang Qianhao signed the letter of waiver, he looked at Fang Ziyang with a murderous look.

If he had seen such a look in the past, Fang Ziyang would have felt uncomfortable and hateful, hating himself for having such a traitorous brother.

But now there is only a sneer left.

Since Fang Qianhao is not his mother's son, why should he inherit his grandfather's estate? Why should he inherit his mother's shares?

He just brought back a little bit of things, but she looked at him with such a murderous look. How shameless she was.

I just don’t know whether Fang Qianhao is aware of his own life experience. If he doesn’t know, it’s fine. But if he does... then don’t blame him for making another entry in his notebook in the future.

Just wait, all of you.

He will slowly recover all the debts he owed, bit by bit.

Compared to Fang Qianhao's gnashing teeth, Fang Yandong was in a much better mood. Now that he had obtained the share authorization, he was not so annoyed about Fang Ziyang's plan to hold an antique jade exhibition, and he played the role of a perfect father again.

I'd also like to ask for the invitation list for the antique jade exhibition, and give me some suggestions.

"Since you are going to hold an exhibition, why not make it bigger? In addition to your friends, Dad will invite a few uncles who are proficient in antique jade collection to come and give you some advice."

"By the way, you can also call your Uncle Xiao and Aunt Yao. They are all your mother's good friends. They care about you very much. You can't forget about them..."

It sounds nice to say, and people who don't know him well might think he is a good father who loves his son very much.

However, after removing the filter, Fang Yandong really never forgets to exploit his value at all times. Holding a large-scale exhibition is just the right way to quell the negative speculation and comments about the other party's family on the Internet, and inviting the mother's friends during her lifetime is to gather together those people whose friendship has faded due to the death of his wife.

Since we are going to install it, let’s install it together.

Since we are going to perform, let’s perform together.

Fang Ziyang was happy and obedient, smiling.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Dad. Please help me invite some big and prestigious uncles."

Fang Yandong was very pleased with this obedience.

Seeing the loving father and filial son, Fang Qianhao beside him gnashed his teeth and interrupted in a sarcastic tone.

"Heh, Fang Ziyang, I didn't realize you have such a good attitude. The day before yesterday, you called the police live, yesterday you beat your own fiancé in public, and today you held an exhibition again. Do you really think you are not famous enough or what? Please be more careful. If you want to die, don't drag our Fang family down with you, okay?"

It’s better not to say it.

As soon as Fang Yandong heard this, he also remembered the beating Xie Wenxu had received. He immediately put away his smile and replaced it with a stern father's expression.

"Yangyang, your brother's words are not nice to hear, but some of his ideas are true. I heard that you beat Xie Wenxu yesterday, in front of outsiders. What happened that made you so violent without regard for etiquette?"

"He cheated on me, who am I going to do if I don't beat him up?"

The reason is very sufficient, but Fang Yandong does not agree.

It's very common for men to be indecisive, not only in the upper class, but also among ordinary people. He doesn't think it's a big deal at all. How many people in the upper class don’t have fun before and after marriage? It's just cheating, it's not like anyone got killed. What's more, the other party is the heir of the Xie family.

Fang Yandong frowned and said in a tone that did not allow for resistance.

"Yangyang, although Dad loves you very much, you can't be too willful living in our circle. Sometimes you have to endure some things, especially in marriage. It's easy to fall apart if you care too much."

"The fact that Xie Wenxu was able to ignore the pressure from his family and take the initiative to get engaged to you means that you hold the most important position in his heart. The rest of them are just playing along..."

Come on, in the end it's all for your own benefit.

Fang Ziyang pursed his lips, interrupted with an unhappy expression, and shouted with red eyes,

"Dad, what you said makes sense, but I can't do it! You don't know how Xie Wenxu treats me. He is not just playing around. He was just playing with me when he acted so well."

"I have never been wronged so much since I was a child. Since he dared to cheat on me, what's wrong with me beating him up? Not only will I beat him up, I will also cancel the engagement!"

Fang Yandong's expression changed slightly, and his previous good mood disappeared immediately.

How much did he lose when the Xie family’s engagement was cancelled? !

Fang Ziyang did not give him a chance to continue speaking, and continued to complain,

"Anyway, I must cancel this engagement. Dad, don't you love me the most? Why do you want me to tolerate Xie Wenxu's cheating on you? Dad used to agree to everything I asked, but today you asked me to swallow my anger..."

"Dad, you've changed. You've become vulgar and snobbish. I don't recognize you anymore! You've gone too far. I don't want to authorize you to buy shares. I hate you!"

While saying these pretentious words, he went to get the share authorization form that he had just signed.

Then.

It was torn into pieces with a brush.

Didn't Fang Yandong want to spoil him so much that he would behave badly? Then let him experience his masterpiece.

"Anyway, I don't care. I want to cancel the engagement. Dad, if you don't cancel the engagement for me, I won't give you the shares."

After Fang Ziyang yelled in grievance, he threw the fragments of documents in his hand into the air.

Then, while Fang Yandong and his son were still not able to react, he quickly grabbed Fang Qianhao's intact letter of renunciation of inheritance on the table, turned around and ran out of the villa door.

Fang Yandong didn't react at all.

Fang Qianhao felt as if he was struck by lightning.
