Everyone took their seats.
Fu Linxiao got straight to the point and stated the purpose of calling everyone here: "Now that Helian Rui has appeared, there are still many questions that have not been resolved. What is his relationship with the Mantis Organization? And the wife of the Earl's branch family in Country A, and..."
Having said that, Fu Linxiao hesitated slightly and looked at Chen Xu, as if considering the man's emotions.
Seeing this, Chen Xu immediately curled his lips into a smile and said nonchalantly, "Lin Xiao! Don't worry about me. I know that Helian Rui is my biological grandfather!"
Chen Xu's attitude shocked Ah Xing, but the others didn't care, as if to say, I knew it would be like this.
"Chen Xu, when did you know he was your grandfather?" Ah Xing hated Helian Rui's actions as a grandfather. Because of this, she never dared to bring up the topic of grandfather in front of Chen Xu, for fear that he would feel bad. When she saw Chen Xu's nonchalant expression, Ah Xing still admired him a little.
"Before, I only suspected my mother. No! Madam Dong knew my biological parents. But the conversation at the guild hall that day, and Madam Dong's attitude towards Helian Rui, I knew everything. I'm not stupid. Do they still think I'm a teenager?"
Chen Xu continued to state his thoughts expressionlessly, and did not notice the change in Ah Xing's mood.
"Axing! Not everyone is worthy of being an elder!" Dongfang Han looked at Axing with some blame.
"Uncle Dongfang, Ah Xing is just concerned about me! But you are right. I don't know if Mr. Fu and the others have told you about my situation, but for me, family affection is just an excuse they use to exploit me."
After he finished speaking, before anyone could react, Chen Xu stood up and bowed ninety degrees towards Dongfang Han.
"I'm sorry, uncle. I know that my so-called grandfather and father have done many things to hurt you and the Dongfang family. I have their blood flowing in my veins, and I apologize to you for what they have done. However, I also want to say something extremely treasonous: I sever all ties with the Helian family and will never serve you again in this life."
The room fell silent in an instant. Dongfang Han looked at Chen Xu with tears in his eyes, still feeling a little uncertain. He then turned his gaze to Fu Linxiao, as if asking what Chen Xu meant by what he had just said.
Fu Linxiao walked up to Chen Xu and helped him up. Ah Xing finally couldn't sit still anymore and told him everything Helian Rui had done to Chen Xu. He threw him to the welfare home with his own hands, and later sent him to the Dong family for revenge, hypnotized him and drugged him so that he could be controlled. His memory was disordered, and he told everything that happened in the guild hall that day!
Dongfang Han looked at Chen Xu with some heartache and asked, "Do you want to hear about your father and grandfather?"
Chen Xu didn't reply, and Dongfang Han didn't care and continued talking to himself.
"Your grandfather wasn't actually born to the mistress of the Helian family. He was a woman who had been lurking in the Helian family as a maid for a year. One day, she drugged everyone's dinner, and when they woke up, she disappeared, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth. After checking the entire house, they found no important financial assets or injuries, so they didn't pursue the matter any further. But who would have thought that two years later, the woman would come back with a child, claiming that it was Grandfather Natang's biological son!"
Having said that, Dongfang Han looked at everyone who was listening attentively. She had never mentioned this matter to anyone.
"After investigation, they finally learned the truth. That night, not only was the entire family drugged, but the woman also hired someone to extract your grandfather's stems and leaves. She disappeared for two years while hiding abroad and undergoing in vitro fertilization. After giving birth to the child, when the child was one year old, she returned to China and found the Helian family!"
"Damn! This woman is really scary!" When Ah Xing heard this, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and shouted.
Dongfang Han just glanced at his furious son and still ignored him, and continued to tell this long-forgotten story.
"The mistress at the time was Helian Natang's childhood sweetheart. They had an extremely good relationship and were gentle and kind, but her health wasn't particularly good. That's why your great-grandfather never had children. That woman took advantage of this and boldly came to seize the throne. But the unexpected happened. No one could have imagined that the usually dignified and kind mistress would, in order to protect her lover, take advantage of the woman's deep sleep, steal the child, and then set a fire to burn her to death.
After making sure that the scheming woman was really dead, she told your great-grandfather that the child must be taken good care of and must not be allowed to grow up to be like his mother, who was scheming, hurting others and himself, and always dreaming of those unrealistic things to achieve success overnight.
Your great-grandfather originally wanted to give the woman some money to send him away, but no one could be sure whether she would use the child to threaten the entire Helian family in the future. Your great-grandmother couldn't bear to see the person she loved depressed every day, and she had no way to leave descendants for the Helian family, so she used this method, got rid of the woman and kept the child to prevent future troubles.
She was afraid that the child would be influenced by his biological mother and go astray.
In the end, your great-grandfather had no choice but to agree to your great-grandmother's request, but I think not long after this incident, she committed suicide. Her last words were only one sentence: One life for another, and the child will be born innocent.
I thought everything would be peaceful, but as Helian Rui grew older, the darkness within him gradually surfaced. Your great-grandfather gathered the heads of the hermit families at the time and told them that if Helian Rui ever did something wrong, they should not care about his reputation. He had discovered that some people were inherently evil and could not be changed no matter how much they were taught. That's why he disregarded his dignity and drove the Helian family out of the imperial capital.
