"What are you looking at?"
Just as Tao Mu was secretly surfing the Internet, Li Xiaoheng came over with a cup of warm water and antipyretic medicine.
"Check out some gossip online." Tao Mu put his phone aside, took the water and medicine, and swallowed them down sullenly. Then he looked at Li Xiaoheng in surprise as he took out a piece of milk candy from his pocket and handed it to him.
Tao Mu: “???”
Li Xiaoheng explained in a gentle voice: "Gou Rixin told me that you hate taking medicine."
So you just use candy to coax him? Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng speechlessly. He must be treating him like a child.
"Everyone hates taking medicine. I just hate it particularly badly." Tao Mu explained seriously. He grabbed the milk candy in Li Xiaoheng's palm, peeled off the beautiful candy wrapper, and put the oval brown candy with a strong milky flavor into his mouth.
The thick and mellow milky sweet taste spread from the tip of the tongue. Feeling the round and silky touch and curvature of the milk candy, Tao Mu suddenly had an idea: "Why are all the milk candies of this brand oval, instead of square or long?"
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu steadily: "Because the oval shape doesn't have clear edges and corners like a square or a long strip, but it's not too smooth like a circle. Maybe it wants to stick to its principle of being round outside and square inside."
Tao Mu looked away: "...According to what you said, the most principled one is probably the ancient Chinese copper coin. That is the authentic one with a round outside and a square inside."
Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "Of course, money is very principled. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who regard wealth as an important criterion for measuring a person's success. And this is true in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."
Tao Mu raised his eyebrows, always feeling that Li Xiaoheng's words had a lot of implications.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Tao Mu was thinking about what to say when Li Xiaoheng took the initiative to bring up the topic: "...By the way, do you know that Attorney Zhou from your Feixun.com is investigating the netizens who are defaming you online with the indictment and lawyer's letter one by one - to be more precise, he is calling the guardians of Shen Yu's fans who are over 14 years old but under 18 years old and are spreading rumors about your drug use online to complain?"
This is probably the first time that Lawyer Zhou, who is always cruel and ruthless, has encountered such a business as the battle between fans and haters. I knew that even if I sent a lawyer's letter and won the case, I wouldn't be able to earn much lawyer commission - I couldn't really let those children go to jail if they couldn't pay the compensation. However, Zhou Shenxing could not bear the fact that his hard work for several days might be in vain. In anger, Zhou Shenxing actually took the prosecution list and called the parents of those fans in order. From the perspective of law and money, we warn those fan parents to discipline their children well. By the way, we strongly criticized these children for not studying hard during school and going online to spread rumors that others are taking drugs.
"...Tao Mu is the founder of Feixun.com and also a partner of Xiaoheng Capital. His personal image is closely related to the corporate image. The behavior of your son and daughter directly caused Feixun.com to suffer economic losses exceeding XXX. In view of the fact that your children are too young and ignorant, Feixun.com will not pursue the legal responsibility of your children this time. But as the representative lawyer of Feixun.com and a normal-minded adult, I sincerely hope that you can discipline your children. If this happens again next time, we at Feixun.com will never tolerate it..."
Li Xiaoheng even recited Zhou Shenxing's words to those parents in front of Tao Mu. Tao Mu was stunned when he heard it. However, on second thought, he felt that given Zhou Shenxing's personality and temper, it would not be surprising even if he did such a thing.
"Lawyer Zhou did a very good job this time. I will give him a bonus when I go back." Tao Mu thought about it and could only say this.
Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "This lawyer Zhou is really good."
However, Li Xiaoheng didn't really want to discuss Lawyer Zhou's character with Tao Mu. I just used this as an excuse to talk to Tao Mu.
"Were you paying attention to the gossip about the Shen family just now?" After laughing, Li Xiaoheng continued to find topics calmly.
Tao Mu responded and thanked him, "I've been busy filming these days and haven't paid much attention to things on the Internet. Thank you for helping me solve this big problem." Drug abuse has a particularly big impact on artists. Fortunately, Feixun.com and Li Xiaoheng responded promptly. Otherwise, I'm afraid Tao Mu will have a hard time explaining it in the future. He didn't want to have such a stain for no reason.
"It should be." Li Xiaoheng said, "We are partners. But I suggest that if you want to thoroughly clarify this matter, it is best to conduct an official inspection and then publish the results directly."
Tao Mu thought this was a great idea. At least the source of the rumor can be completely resolved. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Brother Gou to accompany me to the police station for an examination later."
Li Xiaoheng said, "Let me go with you. I'll drive you."
Tao Mu glanced at Li Xiaoheng and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's my honor to serve you." Li Xiaoheng bowed to Tao Mu in a very gentlemanly manner and spoke in English.
Tao Mu smiled, and then went to the police station accompanied by Li Xiaoheng to have blood drawn and urine tested. Accompanying them were two reporters from Feixun Entertainment stationed in H Town. Because Tao Mu wanted to completely clarify the rumors, he simply asked someone to film the process of him going to the police station for self-examination.
At the same time, Chairman Shen, who only felt that he was green on his head, also did a DNA test at the suggestion of his son. Mother Shen, who was slapped by her husband for no reason, cried and complained to her two children about her grievances. She had never betrayed Father Shen and believed she had a clear conscience. She is not afraid of taking a DNA test. On the contrary, she felt that it was Father Shen who had the problem.
"Are you messing around with other women out there?"
Of course not. Although Shen's father sometimes flirts when he is out socializing, he is always careful and will never allow wild women outside to get pregnant with the Shen family's seed. If not, Father Shen wouldn't be so angry as to slap Mother Shen.
As a result, when the DNA test results of the two came out, Shen Yu did not match their DNA. When this result came out, everyone in the Shen family was stunned.
"How is this possible?" Shen's mother screamed, "Where is my son? I raised him for nineteen years, and now you say my son is not my son. Then where is my son? Where is my son?"
Mother Shen threw herself on Father Shen with a blank mind, grabbed Father Shen's suit jacket, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Did your woman outside replace my son? Tell me? Where is my son?"
Friends and relatives who heard the news were also stunned. The child I raised for 19 years is not my biological child? Where did the Shen family’s children go? Who is lying in the operating room now?
“Check!” Father Shen’s face turned pale and he said through gritted teeth. He is now also wondering whether someone deliberately took the Shen family's child away. What exactly is the other party’s purpose?
The Shen family is a wealthy family in Shanghai. When Shen's mother was pregnant and gave birth, she lived in the best private obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Shanghai. Pregnant women who can give birth in that place are either rich or noble. The hospital's patient information was originally kept strictly confidential and not disclosed to the public.
However, such a big thing happened to the Shen family. Even if the hospital abides by professional ethics, it dare not mention any confidentiality principles to the Shen family at this critical juncture. He immediately retrieved the files from nineteen years ago. The results showed that there were four other pregnant women who gave birth on the same day as Shen's mother.
Nineteen years have passed. Some of the four families have become prosperous, some have fallen, and some have already left Shanghai. Father Shen tried every possible means to contact the other four families. By either appealing to their emotions or enticing them with benefits, we were finally able to convince three of the families to bring their children for DNA tests. However, the remaining family was in trouble - because the child of that family was not born on that day at all.
"…I had a miscarriage that year, and I haven't been able to have children since. My husband and I sought medical treatment and took a lot of medicine. In the end, we had no choice but to pay someone to be a surrogate mother. As you know, that era was not as open as it is now, and surrogacy was illegal. How could we dare let anyone know? The girl also refused to tell us her name and background. My husband found the girl in the labor market. She came from another place to work. At that time, she went to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body. We privately agreed that she would give us a child. If it was a boy, we would give her 200,000 yuan, and if it was a girl, we would give her 100,000 yuan. She agreed."
But no one expected that when the girl was five months pregnant, the hostess of the house also became pregnant. Since I'm pregnant, there's no need to raise another woman's child.
"We did something unkind. At the time, my husband and I discussed with the girl that if she was willing to raise the child herself, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, we would give her another 200,000 yuan. It would be used as money to support the child after it was born. She agreed."
The two parties hit it off immediately, and the surrogate mother took out 300,000 yuan on the spot. Because the hostess was also pregnant, the little girl felt sorry for her. She didn't burn her bridges after crossing them - to be superstitious, the hostess of the house even thought that it was the surrogate girl who helped her get the child. Otherwise, why would she get pregnant at this time, neither earlier nor later?
If it wasn't so disgusting to raise a child born by another woman, the hostess of this house would have wanted to raise the child as well.
What happens next is easy to guess. The surrogate girl stayed in Shanghai until she gave birth to a son safely, received the final payment of 100,000 yuan, and completed the confinement period before she left with the child. Because the child was a surrogate birth, the girl did not leave any identification. Even the hospitalization was done in the name of the hostess's cousin's daughter. So now I can’t find anyone at all.
"It's been so many years, I've forgotten her name. I just remember calling her Xiaolian. As for where she went, we have no idea. She said she wanted to take the child back to her hometown and let her parents take care of the child. She would work outside. We didn't ask about it in detail." Mainly because we didn't want to have any contact in the future, so there was no need to ask.
When the Shen family heard this, the DNA test results of the other three families came out. All is fine. This is the only one left.
Father Shen’s face was livid and he said nothing. Chen Chen nodded to the male host and said, "Mr. Tan, I will trouble you again to help with a DNA test."
Mr. Tan nodded repeatedly and looked at Mrs. Tan before going in to draw blood for examination.
The fastest NDA identification result will be available in three hours. Mr. and Mrs. Tan stood in the corner with confusion on their faces. They had never expected that such an accident would happen nineteen years ago. They are now particularly worried that the young master of the Shen family might be confirmed to be their surrogate child. Would Shen Jiabai, who had raised their child for 19 years, become angry and vent his anger on their family? The most important thing is where is the young master of the Shen family now?
Also, the two families took the wrong child. Was it an accident at the hospital, or did the girl do it on purpose?
When Mr. and Mrs. Tan thought of this, they felt as if a dark cloud was looming over their heads and became even more uneasy.
On the other hand, what Mr. and Mrs. Tan could think of, naturally everyone in the Shen family could also think of.
Shen's mother, who was the most delicate and sensitive, was about to collapse: "My son, where is my son? Did that woman replace my child? Did she do it on purpose? Leaving her son in our Shen family to enjoy the good life. She exchanged my son for her to suffer. Where is this vicious woman? Where did she take my son?"
In the VIP ward, Shen Yu, who had just woken up after the anesthesia wore off after the operation, heard these words. He had no idea what had happened during this period. I thought I was dreaming when I heard: "Mom... Dad... Big Brother... Sister... It hurts so much..."
"You are a jerk who has usurped the throne." Upon hearing Shen Yu's voice, Shen's mother rushed over and grabbed the collar of Shen Yu's hospital gown: "Where is my son? Where did my son go? Give my son back to me! You are a jerk who has usurped the throne..."
"Mom?" Shen Yu looked at Shen's mother in shock, then turned his gaze to his father, brother, and sister: "What's wrong with mom?"
"You are not our Shen family's child." Shen Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "You needed a blood transfusion during the operation, and the doctor found that your blood type is B, but the blood type of the Shen family is either A or O, so your parents did a DNA test with you and found that you are not a child of the Shen family."
"What, what?" Shen Yu, lying on the hospital bed, blinked in a daze. He felt that he had not woken up yet.
Otherwise, how could it be that just because he had an operation, he is no longer his parents’ child?
Unable to bear this fact, the frail and helpless little prince fainted instantly.
The author has something to say:
The ABO in the previous chapter was just a joke, referring to blood type, not a change of setting_(:з」∠)_
