However, after Wen Qiao told Shen Jichuan about her idea, he objected.
He felt that Wen Qiao's idea was good, but Wen Qiao was using an individual to confront a capitalist. Moreover, Wen Zhengnian, this capitalist who fled from China to abroad, obviously had government support behind him.
He was able to open a bank abroad, and who knows how much interest he was secretly dealing with the US government.
If Wen Qiao's appearance affects the revenue of foreign governments, they might also take action against her.
For Shen Jichuan, Wen Qiao was his wife.
He could sacrifice himself to protect the country, but Wen Qiao couldn't. Out of selfishness, he only wanted Wen Qiao to be alright.
Wen Qiao immediately told Shen Jichuan that she was just thinking about it and did not intend to fight a losing battle.
At the same time, Zhao Qingzhou contacted Wen Qiao privately and asked her some questions about Wen Zhengnian.
Wen Qiao didn't know why Zhao Qingzhou was asking these questions, but she still told him everything she knew.
It turns out that when Wen Zhengnian fled abroad from Shanghai, he not only took a lot of money with him, but also a lot of cultural relics from China. Zhao Qingzhou wanted to learn more about Wen Zhengnian from Wen Qiao.
Because Wen Zhengnian absconded with the funds during a special period, it's really difficult to catch him now, given the chaotic situation at the time.
Wen Qiao was unsure what Zhao Qingzhou meant by asking her these questions. Zhao Qingzhou said he was just asking and that she should keep an eye out when Wen Qiao went to Wen Zhengnian's residence.
Wen Qiao did not refuse Zhao Qingzhou's words, but she thought that she would rarely see Wen Zhengnian again.
Knowing that Shen Jichuan had asked Feng Yan to help her find someone, Wen Qiao felt much more at ease. After learning about Wen Qiao's situation, Tang Yuanyuan learned that Wen Qiao did not want to acknowledge the capitalist's grandfather, and she became more wary of those around her than usual.
Fortunately, after that incident, Wen Zhengnian did not send anyone to look for Wen Qiao again.
It wasn't until March of the following year, when Wen Qiao was three months away from returning to China, that the man in black, A Dao, approached her.
They said that Wen Zhengnian was seriously ill and wanted to see Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao refused without even thinking.
Ado added, "Miss, the old gentleman really has no ill intentions towards you. He invites you over, and Dr. Huo is also there, so naturally he won't harm you."
"If you're not comfortable with the two bodyguards around you, you can bring them with you."
Wen Qiao's eyes showed a hint of surprise; she was surprised that A Dao knew these things.
“I’m a former soldier. When I was at my lowest point, the old gentleman hired me. I started as his bodyguard and now I work as his security manager.”
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement.
This Ado is really something.
Wen Qiao said calmly, "I've actually made myself very clear, and my identity is probably a bit sensitive for your old man, so why did you still ask me to come over?"
"Because the old gentleman is Chinese, and especially at his age, what he wants most is to return to his roots. It was easy to leave back then, you could just spend money, but the price to pay to go back is too high..."
“Miss, if you are really willing to call him Grandpa, he will not treat you badly.”
Call me grandpa?
How could that be? She would never shout.
Wen Qiao didn't want to pay any attention to Wen Zhengnian at all. To her, Wen Zhengnian was just a rich old stranger.
Adao drove Wen Qiao there, but Wen Qiao was naturally worried about Adao's words. Since he already knew, the two female bodyguards simply went with Wen Qiao openly.
This time, I went to the hospital.
Wen Zhengnian is rich, so the hospital he's staying in isn't just a single room; the entire floor belongs to him.
Professional doctors and nurses all took care of him alone.
Besides Wen Qiao, there were other people on this floor where Wen Zhengnian was recuperating.
The stares of a group of strangers made Wen Qiao feel extremely uncomfortable. A Dao, on the other hand, calmly and steadily followed Wen Qiao, leading her ahead.
The old man's wife, whom he had married abroad, passed away. However, the stepchildren she brought with her were all purebred foreigners, and they dared not contest their stepfather's inheritance.
The old man had never treated them poorly, always giving them generous gifts. He had also said that if they fought over the inheritance, he would leave them nothing.
As it stands, Wen Qiao is the only person who shares blood with the old man.
If Wen Qiao acknowledges the old man as her grandfather, then Wen Zhengnian's enormous inheritance will belong to Wen Qiao.
Besides the children brought by Wen Zhengnian's wife from abroad, there are also two adopted children.
However, they are not young anymore.
The first person to question Wen Qiao was a man. On her way there, Wen Qiao had heard from A Dao that the man's name was Wen Hua, he was forty-five years old, married, and had two sons and a daughter.
The woman's name is Wen Ling. She is in her early forties. She got married and divorced when she was thirty. She currently has only one daughter.
Wen Ling and Wen Hua both work at the old man's bank.
Wen Hua glanced at Wen Qiao, her eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion. "A Dao, is this Father's granddaughter from back home? She doesn't look like her at all."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qiao turned to look at Wen Hua, and then at the people standing next to Wen Hua. Besides a foreign woman, there were three mixed-race people.
The mixed-race people are all quite old, and they look rather weathered.
Wen Qiao retorted, "Your child doesn't look like you at all. I think you should get it checked out."
Wen Qiao had no intention of acknowledging Wen Zhengnian, but she would not allow anyone to comment on her appearance.
Wen Hua was so angry at Wen Qiao's words that she could only stare blankly.
"They have absolutely no manners."
Adao glanced at Wen Hua and reminded him, "Sir, Miss Wen Qiao is the old man's granddaughter. You should refrain from saying anything disciplining to her."
Wen Qiao followed A Dao directly into the ward.
Wen Hua then turned to look at Wen Ling. Both of them had been adopted, and they had originally thought that after the old man passed away, they could share in his estate.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qiao suddenly appeared.
So what's the point of those two fighting to the death for decades?
"What do you think about this?" Wen Hua walked up to Wen Ling and asked her in a low voice.
Wen Ling said coldly, "Judging from the old man's words, if he really leaves all the inheritance to her, can she, a person from the country, take so much inheritance out of the country?"
No matter what, she would never let Wen Qiao take away the fruits of her decades of hard work.
Wen Qiao had never seen Wen Zhengnian's adopted son and daughter before, but now that she saw their behavior, she understood why Wen Zhengnian was so determined to find his blood relatives.
