Chapter 027: Ghost World Tyrant (updated on the 16th)
"This..." Mei Qian didn't expect her son to come back suddenly. She winked at him and looked at Zhou Ding hesitantly.
Zhou Ding had been investigating his child with his ex-wife. Zhou Yuwen naturally knew about this. At that time, he was so angry that he smashed things in the room.
It was Mei Qian who assured him that she would never let that bastard step into the Zhou family. The Zhou family must belong to him. Only then did Zhou Yuwen calm down.
After this incident, Zhou Yuwen's feelings for Zhou Ding also faded a lot. However, Zhou Ding had the final say after all, so he still pretended to be filial on the surface.
Seeing his mother winking at him, Zhou Yuwen's expression darkened, but he still had a smile on his face.
Judging from his mother's appearance, the other party should not be a threat.
Sure enough, after hearing what Zhou Yuwen said, Zhou Ding just glanced at the information on the table and snorted coldly: "Forget it, there's nothing to worry about."
Zhou Yuwen's smile got bigger. He was actually a little curious about what his half-brother was like.
At this time, the other party's information was just casually thrown on the table. He could get it as long as he reached out. There was also a photo of the other party on it.
However, when he was about to reach out to take it, his eyes fell on Zhou Ding's disdainful face. He paused and suddenly smiled.
Forget it, he is just a person who was abandoned. What should he care about?
He didn't even need to give the other party a glance. After all, this person would never be qualified to come in front of him again. In this case, there is no need to care.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwen withdrew his hand with ease, not even paying attention to the documents, and sat down on the sofa beside him, watching his mother's performance.
His mother would naturally help him arrange the aftermath.
Sure enough, Mei Qian suddenly sighed and said, "Husband, after all... this is your son."
Zhou Ding frowned and looked at Mei Qian with dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you today? You only speak for him. You were not happy when I wanted to find him before."
"Well, I also think that this child is a bit pitiful." Mei Qian looked very kind: "I thought he was at least taken care of by his mother, but I didn't expect... he actually grew up so big in the mountains."
What kind of experience can a person who grew up in the mountains have. Zhou Ding was originally hesitant about whether to bring the child back to see if he can be trained, but after hearing this, he immediately gave up the idea.
What if he is brought back? This child might be useless. Rather than wasting time and energy and causing a rift with his other son, it is better not to take him back.
Compared to Zhou Yuwen, he did not think that this son who was wandering outside would have any future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ding immediately interrupted Mei Qian with a cold face: "There is no need to bring him back, I will just
pretend that I don't have this son!" Mei Qian curled her lips slightly and sighed helplessly: "Husband, I think it's okay if you don't plan to recognize him, but... you should still give this child some compensation."
Zhou Ding looked at Mei Qian. Why didn't he realize that his wife was so kind before.
Mei Qian's eyes showed some reluctance: "Give this kid some money, at least... let him stop doing this."
Zhou Ding remembered that Jiang Yiqing was doing a live broadcast now. He didn't know the specific content, and he didn't feel like knowing it. After all, live broadcasting was not presentable and embarrassing for a family like theirs.
So when Zhou Ding first learned about this, he felt strongly dissatisfied with Jiang Yiqing.
Even if no one knew that this was his son, Zhou Ding still felt inexplicably proud and felt that Jiang Yiqing was embarrassing him.
It can be said that he was very fatherly. Zhou Ding felt that what Mei Qian said made
sense. What if people knew that he was his son in the future? Where would he, Zhou Ding, put his face?
Zhou Ding thought so, and his frown relaxed a little. He felt that Mei Qian was thoughtful: "You are right, just give him... 500,000."
This money is just the price of a watch for Zhou Ding. He is only willing to pay this little, and he also requires Jiang Yiqing to stop live broadcasting. Mei Qian's worries are completely gone. It seems that she overestimated Jiang Yiqing's position in Zhou Ding's heart.
Yes, a person like Zhou Ding would never care about the father-son relationship. He only cares about who can bring him more benefits. It is indeed the nature of a businessman.
Mei Qian knows who Zhou Ding is. She is not a little girl, so she doesn't care about Zhou Ding's so-called love, so she doesn't care.
Finding a way to hold the money in your hand is the kingly way.
Zhou Yuwen, who was originally a little uneasy, sat down completely relaxed after hearing Zhou Ding's words, with a flash of mockery in his eyes.
"Then... I'll help you contact the child. You decide when it's convenient for you. You have to meet him." Mei Qian looked like a good wife and a loving mother.
Zhou Ding frowned and looked at her discontentedly. He didn't make his words clear, but just said, "I'm busy recently and don't have time."
Mei Qian knew best whether he was busy or not. It was just an excuse for not wanting to see him. I'm afraid he was still thinking in his heart that he was afraid that this shameful son would have to recognize him.
After being poor for more than 20 years, he suddenly knew that he had a rich father. Would he be willing to take 500,000 yuan and leave?
Mei Qian also thought so. If Zhou Ding planned to meet him, she also had a way to prevent the two from meeting. It was good now, so she didn't have any trouble.
"Since you don't have time, then I'll go and see the child for you?" Mei Qian asked for his opinion.
This time Zhou Ding didn't have any opinion, and said nonchalantly: "You have nothing to do all day, so go if you want to, let him take the money, and don't embarrass yourself on the Internet."
Mei Qian was completely relieved. Now she just needed to meet Jiang Yiqing and let him give up the inheritance rights.
What she was most worried about was not that Zhou Ding would take Jiang Yiqing back, but that as Zhou Ding's son, he also had the right to inherit the Zhou family. Naturally, he had to get everything that belonged to her son, even if he had to give every penny to others.
Five hundred thousand is not a small amount for ordinary people. I hope he can recognize her.
Mei Qian turned her head and looked at Zhou Yuwen, and they both smiled at the same time.
Zhou Yuwen felt that his half brother was no longer a threat, so he stood up and said softly, "Mom and Dad, I'll go back to my room first."
When he returned to his room, he received a call from Wen Chuan.
Since he went to the Wen family's old house that day, except for seeing Wen Xiuyan from a distance, he never had the chance to see him again.
It seems that it is more difficult to contact Wen Xiuyan than he thought.
What is more troublesome for him is that Wen Chuan is getting more and more excessive. When the two of them just started dating, the other party was willing to pretend, but now as time goes by, Wen Chuan begins to reveal his true nature, and has been on schedule to have something happen with him several times.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but feel a little disgusted just by seeing the name on the phone.
But now it is obviously impossible to tear the face, he still has to rely on the other party to achieve his goal, Zhou Yuwen exhaled and answered the phone.
However, as soon as he heard what Wen Chuan said, Zhou Yuwen's smile disappeared completely, and was replaced by disbelief: "How is it possible? You are his younger brother!"
Wen Chuan actually said that Wen Xiuyan found an excuse to cancel his position in the company, and because Wen Chuan did a lot of good for him in his previous position, he was not only kicked out of the company this time, but Wen Xiuyan also gave him a deadline to make up for the previous loss within three days, otherwise he would be sent to prison without regard for his relatives.
At that time, Wen Chuan and his parents could not control their emotions when they heard that Wen Xiuyan was so heartless.
Wen Chuan's father first skillfully brought up the deceased Second Grandfather, Wen Xiuyan's grandfather, because when the Second Grandfather was alive, he cared most about family affection, so he took good care of these side branches. After the
Second Grandfather passed away, they fought for power. In the end, they lost to Wen Xiuyan, but even so, Wen Xiuyan only beat them up, not killed them all.
They knew that Wen Xiuyan was not concerned about family affection, but only because of the Second Grandfather.
They were quiet for a while, and they thought they had the Second Grandfather as a golden ticket to avoid death, so they started to jump out again, and then were suppressed by Wen Xiuyan. This happened over and over again, and they never learned their lesson.
Because they knew that as long as Wen Xiuyan still cared about the Second Grandfather, he would not kill them all.
However, they never expected that Wen Xiuyan would suddenly be so ruthless. Isn't this forcing Wen Chuan to death?
The other relatives besides Wen Chuan were not in a good mood either, fearing that they would be the next ones to be killed.
So, they hurriedly brought up the Second Grandfather.
However, this time Wen Xiuyan's reaction was not what they wanted.
Not only did Wen Xiuyan's attitude not soften, but his expression became even more terrifying: "Uncle and aunt, do you need me to repeat it again in three days?"
The uncle and aunt cried and made a fuss. How could they get so much money in three days!
It was impossible for them to watch Wen Chuan being sent to prison. How could they bear it? This was their only son!
This Wen Xiuyan was really cold-blooded.
Finally, despite their constant pleading, Wen Xiuyan's attitude did not soften at all, and he reminded them: "The time has already started from the moment I said it. Uncle and aunt, you better hurry up."
Upon hearing this, the uncle and aunt looked at Wen Xiuyan fiercely, knowing that the situation could not be reversed, and they didn't know what Wen Xiuyan was thinking!
In short, they could only take their son to raise money.
All the valuable things in the house were sold at a low price. It was heartbreaking but there was nothing they could do. It would be good if they could sell everything in a short time.
However, after exchanging everything in the house for money, they found that the money was not enough!
Wen Chuan had always been accustomed to squandering, and the money was nothing to him. And the cousins who taught Wen Chuan a son were no less generous.
Therefore, they really couldn't come up with that much money, and wanted to discuss with Wen Xiuyan whether they could only pay back this much, and let Wen Xiuyan pay the rest for them.
Wen Xiuyan glanced at them and said, "Not bad, this money can save him a few years in prison."
The cousins' smiling faces completely fell. What can they do now? The identity of relatives is useless, so they have to raise money.
Except for Wen Chuan, all the relatives who had offended Wen Xiuyan in the past have not had a good time recently. A group of people privately scolded Wen Xiuyan crazily.
However, scolding was useless, and he still had to raise money obediently.
Seeing that they had made money from all the places where they could make money, but they were still short of 10 million, Wen Chuan's mother rolled her eyes and said, "You go to that Zhou Yuwen to ask for money. If the Zhou family can come up with 10 million, then I... don't object to you dating him."
As for marriage, it was impossible. Her family Wen Chuan still had to carry on the family line!
Maybe it was the mother's eyes, Wen Chuan's mother still thought her son was a big treasure.
In short, Wen Chuan thought his mother's proposal was good, so he hurriedly called Zhou Yuwen and explained the current situation: "Yuwen, this 10 million is a loan from me. When I return to the company, I will double it back to you."
"You mean, as long as you make up for the loss, Wen Xiuyan will let you return to the company?" Zhou Yuwen was not stupid and thought it was unlikely.
Sure enough, when he asked this, Wen Chuan hesitated and said vaguely: "I will definitely return to the company."
He didn't dare to think about other possibilities, and subconsciously ignored this possibility.
Without the identity of Wen Xiuyan's cousin, he is nothing.
Zhou Yuwen already knew what the situation was now. Wen Chuan's family had been completely excluded by Wen Xiuyan.
Originally, he wanted to contact Wen Xiuyan through Wen Chuan again, but now it seems that Wen Chuan, this useless guy, can't help him.
Moreover, the identity of his cousin's boyfriend is not suitable for contacting the other party.
If Wen Chuan is useless, he will certainly kick him away without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwen did not refuse directly, but said: "Don't worry, 10 million is not a small amount for me, let me think of a way for you."
"Hurry up, time is up tomorrow!" Wen Chuan urged anxiously.
Zhou Yuwen responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone, but did not go to raise money.
What a joke, for the current Zhou family, 10 million is already a lot for them. The Zhou family is not in a good situation, otherwise how could Zhou Ding send his son away and be so stingy that he was only willing to take out 500,000?
Besides, Wen Chuan was no longer useful, so why should he help him? At
this moment, he finally understood that the branches of Wen Chuan looked very impressive, but to put it bluntly, they were just vines attached to the big tree of Wen Xiuyan.
As long as Wen Xiuyan reached out and cut them off, they would be no different from dead grass.
Zhou Yuwen didn't want to cling to any vines, he just wanted to get closer to the big tree.
He unconsciously thought of the young man who sat next to Wen Xiuyan that day. He walked to the mirror and looked at his face, which was somewhat similar to the other person, with a determined smile on his face.
Since that person could do it, he could do it too! It all depends on whether there is an opportunity. As
long as there is an opportunity, he will seize it immediately.
——Wen
Junrong rushed into Wen Xiuyan's study room, excited: "Brother, you finally started to deal with those people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was looked at by Wen Xiuyan, and immediately shrank his neck.
When Wen Xiuyan looked away, he returned to his old ways and came over with a smile: "Hey, brother, you don't know how happy I was when I saw those people today!"
Wen Junrong simply hated those relatives. They were obviously living off their family, but they didn't know their place at all. Did he really think his brother was such a good-tempered person?
"You seem to be very free." Wen Xiuyan said without even raising his head.
Wen Junrong had no idea what his brother wanted to say, and even scratched his face: "It's okay, I'm on vacation recently."
What else can a college student do when he's on vacation?
Wen Xiuyan put down his pen and looked up at him: "Well, the company just happens to be short of people recently, you can go to work tomorrow."
Wen Junrong couldn't believe it. He was being lazy and didn't want to go.
Wen Xiuyan said, "You are not young anymore. You should take on some responsibilities for the family. Do you really want to live a life of idleness and wait for death?"
Wen Junrong curled his lips and said, "I don't want to do this."
Wen Xiuyan was quite open-minded and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Wen Junrong: "..." Is it okay to live a life of idleness and wait for death?
Wen Xiuyan's face darkened: "Go to the company tomorrow!"
Wen Junrong shrank his neck and did not dare to bargain. He muttered in a low voice: "Wait, I'm going to Master Jiang to complain!"
Why should I go to Master Jiang? Because if I complain to his mother, the other party will definitely stand on his brother's side. It's just right for him to find an excuse to complain to his idol!
When Wen Xiuyan heard this, his movements paused. He put down the pen, looked at the time, and clicked on a software on the computer.
At the same time, Jiang Yiqing started the live broadcast.
Recently, there have been quite a lot of people requesting to connect, and the backstage has even started queuing.
As soon as Jiang Yiqing went live, he connected with the first person.
Guangxin was anxiously waiting for Jiang Yiqing to go live. He had already transferred the fortune-telling fee yesterday, but Jiang Yiqing would only go live at a fixed time, and he didn't even check the messages from the backstage on weekdays.
Guangxin was worried because he hadn't received the money. Even though he knew what time Jiang Yiqing would go live, he was still restless.
It was almost evening!
Fortunately, Jiang Yiqing started the live broadcast as soon as the time came, and Guangxin almost didn't react.
Jiang Yiqing looked at the young man opposite him. The other party had big dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. It seemed that he hadn't slept well for several days.
"Tell me, what's the problem?" Jiang Yiqing didn't say anything else and went straight to the point.
Guangxin sighed and said sadly, "I've been dreaming about my grandpa recently."
When Guangxin was young, he grew up with his grandpa and grandma. After going to school, although he didn't live with his grandpa and grandma, he would go back every winter and summer vacation.
Therefore, Guangxin has always been closer to his grandpa and grandma.
But just last year, his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in the late stage. He died in a few months.
Guangxin was grieving for a long time. After his grandfather passed away, his grandmother couldn't live alone in the countryside without anyone to take care of her.
So, Guangxin's family took his grandmother in.
After more than half a year, Guangxin finally recovered. But a month ago, he began to have frequent dreams about his grandfather.
At first, his grandfather was crying in his dream, with a bruised face and a look of being beaten. That whole night, he kept asking his grandfather what happened in his dream.
But his grandfather didn't say anything in the end.
When he woke up the next day, Guangxin recalled his dream yesterday. Don't mention it, he remembered it quite clearly. He didn't think much about it, just thought he was missing his grandfather, so he dreamed about him.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the third day... a week went by, Guangxin would dream of his grandfather crying every night.
This week, Guangxin didn't sleep well.
Guangxin had dreamt of his grandpa crying in his dreams for a week, so he had to take it seriously and told his father about it.
His father frowned and smoked a cigarette for a long time, and finally said, "Is your grandpa missing you? Or is he short of money down there? So, take a few days off, and we'll go burn some paper for your grandpa and let him see you."
Guangxin felt that what his father said made sense. When his grandpa was alive, he loved him very much, so maybe he just missed him.
Thinking of this, Guangxin took a day off from work that day, went back to his hometown with his father, and burned some paper for his grandpa.
After returning, Guangxin really didn't dream about his grandpa again. A few days passed like this, and suddenly one night, he dreamed about his grandpa again.
This time, his grandpa not only cried in his dream, but also had a bruised face and nose, as if he had been beaten.
Even more bizarre happened. This time, not only did he dream about his grandpa, but also his father.
However, his father seemed to be more miserable. He was beaten by his grandpa in his dream. When he woke up the next day, his body was covered with bruises.
"This can't be an accidental knock." Guangxin actually believed in science more, and he didn't believe that his grandpa really beat his father.
However, Guang's father showed the bruises on his body, and there was a slap mark on it.
The family decided to find someone to take a look at what was going on.
Finally, they found someone who knew Feng Shui. He went to his grandfather's grave and said that the location was wrong and that the grave had to be moved.
What else could they do? They couldn't let his grandfather cry all the time, could they? So they just moved the grave.
After the grave was moved, Guangxin didn't dream of his grandfather for a while. But this time, just like the last time, his grandfather cried in his dream again with a bruised face and a swollen nose a few days later. This time, the injury seemed to be more serious than the last time.
And his father, not surprisingly, was beaten up in his dream again.
Guangxin hadn't had a good rest for a long time because he had been dreaming of his grandpa crying at night. He really had no other choice. Just then, he heard that Jiang Yiqing was very powerful, so he came to him for help.
"You mean your grandpa cries in your dream every day?" Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Guangxin's face. Indeed, he had a faint gloomy aura.
Guangxin nodded: "I really don't know what to do. Is this a dream or is it really my grandpa... I asked him, but he didn't tell me."
The barrage began to brainstorm:
"Is he short of money or clothes? Let's burn some paper money for the old man."
"How could this be? Could it be that he had a dream? He misses his grandpa so much."
"Qingqing, tell me what's going on. I really want to know!"
Jiang Yiqing said: "You burned paper money for your grandpa before, and then you moved the grave again, right?"
Guangxin nodded quickly: "Yes, but it was useless."
"No, it was useful both times." Jiang Yiqing said: "After these two times, did your grandpa never come to you to cry?"
That was indeed the case, but it was only for a few days, so he felt it was useless.
"It's not useless, it's just a temporary solution." Jiang Yiqing said, "Your grandpa is encountering the bully of the ghost world, commonly known as being bullied by other ghosts. Once you gave him money, he respected the evil ghost, but once the money was gone, the evil ghost would become even more powerful. Another time, you moved the grave, and the effect was almost the same."
Guangxin: "!!!"
Netizens: "???"
No, how can a ghost encounter a bully?
