On Saturday, He Qianjian arrived at school at 7:30 as usual.
Although Chenghua is a private high school, the proportion of students in international classes and those who choose international courses is less than 30%. The other students will take the domestic college entrance examination, so the learning atmosphere in the third year of high school is also very strong.
When He Qianjian arrived, most of the students in the class had already arrived. As soon as he walked into the classroom, a boy who was on good terms with him approached him and said, "Birthday boy, did you bring the invitation today? We are all looking forward to attending your birthday party tomorrow."
"Of course I brought it." He Qianjian stood on the podium and slowly took out a stack of invitations from his schoolbag. He raised his chin slightly and glanced at the students who were looking at him. With a slight smile on his lips, he placed the invitations on the first table of boys near the podium and said with a faint smile, "We have been classmates for three years. How could I forget you? Except for a few students who have received invitations from my family, I have brought the invitations of other students. Please help me distribute them."
"real?"
"We can all go?!"
"Long live Brother Jian, Brother Jian is the best!"
The boys at the first table distributed the invitations. Most of the students who received the invitations were those whose families had no connection with the He family or were not qualified to attend the He family banquet. They were very surprised to receive the invitation from He Qianjian. For a while, the classroom was filled with congratulations and compliments.
He Qianjian walked to his seat and sat down. Many classmates gathered around him and asked him about his birthday party.
"Brother Jian, I heard that actor Li will also attend your birthday party. Is that true?"
He Qianjian said calmly: "Although Mr. Li is in the entertainment industry, he is a member of the Li family, so he should come."
"Is Actor Li a member of the Li family?" A girl exclaimed in surprise, "It turns out that Actor Li is not only a good actor, but also has a good family background!"
Someone asked, "What about the Xu family?"
"The Xu family will definitely go." Someone said, "Don't the Xu family and Brother Jian's company have a lot of cooperation? Am I right, Brother Jian?"
He Qianjian nodded: "The Xu family is back."
"That's not what I'm talking about." The boy who asked the question earlier waved his hand mysteriously. When everyone else came over, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Xu family recently recognized a illegitimate child. Do you think the Xu family will bring that illegitimate child to the banquet this time?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"Is it true? I've never heard of it!"
"Brother Jian, do you know?"
He Qianjian turned his wrist, his eyelids drooped, his eyes fell on his hands, and his tone revealed a hint of disdain: "It's just an illegitimate child, why should I know."
Several people who were very interested in gossip were stunned when they heard the words. After looking at each other, someone laughed dryly and said, "Hahaha, that's right. Brother Jian is someone of low status. How could an illegitimate child be worthy of your attention?"
"Right, right, right." Others echoed, "Let alone the Xu family's illegitimate son, even that actor Li can't catch our brother Jian's eye. He is a member of the Li family's side branch, how can he compare with our brother Jian who will inherit the Tunan Group in the future."
He Qianjian glanced at the person who was speaking and laughed: "It's not even a matter of time yet, how do you know that it's me who will inherit our family company and not He Qianmin?"
Hearing the joy in He Qianjian's tone, the person who spoke rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I don't know, there are differences between brothers, right? How can the second young master He compare to you, brother Jian? Besides, this family business is usually inherited by the eldest son. Who else can inherit the Tunan Group besides you?"
"Oh."
An abrupt sneer sounded in the classroom. The boy sitting in the corner crossed his legs and looked at the crowd with a half-smile. He applauded and said, "The He family hasn't decided who will inherit Tunan yet, and you guys have decided it clearly here. Otherwise, at He Qianjian's birthday party tomorrow, you guys can just go on stage and force He Yanfeng off the stage to make room for He Qianjian."
The person who had just flattered the boy blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to speak because of the boy's family background.
A cold look flashed across He Qianjian's eyes, but he turned around with a smile on his face: "Wang Wei was just joking, Zhang Yanjing, why do you have to make a big deal out of it?"
Zhang Yanjing sneered, "The illegitimate son of the Xu family, the movie star of the Li family, oh, and your brother He Qianmin, no one can compare to you who is so high and mighty. Tsk tsk tsk, Master He is really so majestic. I'm just wondering, aren't you afraid of getting a back injury if the wind gets strong?"
He Qianjian's face turned cold: "Zhang Yanjing, don't think that I won't touch you just because you are a member of the Zhang family."
Zhang Yanjing crossed his legs and swung his fingers lazily: "Come on, I want to see how the well-mannered and refined Mr. He, a scumbag and a beast in human clothing, is going to do to me."
He Qianjian's face darkened. I don't know what he was thinking about. He suddenly sneered, "I would like to fight with you, but I'm afraid that tomorrow we will both appear in front of everyone with bruised faces, and Minister Zhang won't know where to put his face."
All the students present knew that Zhang Yanjing's biological mother died young, and his father was extremely strict with him. He hated him most for being violent and aggressive. If the fight was exposed, he would definitely not have a good ending when he returned.
Zhang Yanjing narrowed his eyes suddenly and was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He suppressed his anger and clicked on the message. He didn't know what he saw. He raised his eyes to look at He Qianjian, and the curve of his lips showed not only sarcasm but also a hint of sympathy.
Everyone thought Zhang Yanjing would get angry, but he just glanced at He Qianjian, sneered and took out the book. He was completely different from his usual angry self when someone mentioned this matter, leaving the students who were watching confused.
He Qianjian also thought Zhang Yanjing was strange, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought Zhang Yanjing was scared. Just then, the bell for the first class rang. He suppressed the sarcasm on his lips and turned back to his seat.
At the same time, He Yanfeng had brought his wife and daughter to the He family's old house.
Mrs. He got up and received the call that they were coming, so she started preparing in the kitchen early. When they arrived, a sumptuous breakfast was already on the table.
"Why are you here so early today?" Old Madam He smiled and took her granddaughter's hand, saying, "Qianyu doesn't have to go to cram school today, so you came to accompany grandpa and grandma, right?"
He Qianyu held her grandmother's hand and said coquettishly, "I missed you so much, grandma, so my dad asked for leave for me to come and see you today."
"Oh, I missed grandma so much that I asked for leave!" Madam He held He Qianyu in her arms and sat at the dining table. She greeted Mr. He who came in from the yard and said, "Hurry up, the children are here and are waiting for you."
Mr. He frowned and said, "What's going on? Not only did you come here so early in the morning, but you also asked Qianyu to take a leave. That's too unreasonable."
He Yanfeng and Yang Yun looked at each other, and Yang Yun smiled and said, "Dad, let's eat first and talk after we finish eating."
Mr. He glanced at the brown paper bag in He Yanfeng's hand and nodded: "Sit down."
After breakfast, He Yanfeng followed Mr. He into the study. Facing his father, he didn't have much preparation. He directly handed the brown paper bag to him and said, "Dad, take a look at this."
Mr. He looked up at him, took his reading glasses, opened the paper bag and took out the report inside. He frowned when he saw the paternity test, and turned to the back directly. His eyes paused for a moment, and then turned to the second report. After reading all the reports, he put them heavily on the table and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"I don't know either." He Yanfeng lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Maybe Qian Jian and Jiang Chen reported it wrong when they were in the hospital."
"The wrong child?!" Mr. He slammed the table twice, his chest heaving with anger: "When we agreed to let you and Yang Yun come in, we brought He Qianjian's paternity test. At that time, he was already three months old. Could it be possible that the wrong child was taken away from the hospital when he was three months old?"
Mr. He pushed his chair and stood up, pointing at the report and said, "Tell me clearly what's going on! Who got this report? How did you think of checking this?"
"Xiang Hong took it out." He Yanfeng walked over, supported Mr. He who was shaking with anger, and said, "Dad, don't be angry, listen to me first."
"Xiang Hong may have seen Jiang Chen and thought that Jiang Chen looked too much like our family, so he took his hair as a sample, and then asked for samples from me, Xiao Yun, and Qian Jian for identification. I didn't expect the results to be like this."
"You think I'm old and confused!" Mr. He pushed him away and said, "I watched Xiang Hong grow up. It's impossible for him to take someone else's child's hair without any confidence. Moreover, he has been your family doctor for so many years. You have physical examinations every year. How come nothing was found in the past ten years? Now you know that you took the wrong child?"
"Dad, calm down. Xiang Hong and I have been friends for so many years. I believe he had no idea about this before, otherwise he wouldn't have taken our samples for verification before telling me. And the blood test doesn't test DNA. Qian Jian and I have the same blood type. How could Xiang Hong think so much? The most urgent thing now is not how he knew, but how to deal with the identities of Jiang Chen and Qian Jian."
"What should we do?" Mr. He glared and said, "Of course we should exchange the two children back! What else can we do?"
"That's what I thought, too. That's why I came to see you early this morning. When Jiang Chen gets out of school in the afternoon, I'll go find him at the school gate and explain the matter to him."
Seeing that his son was still rational, Mr. He calmed down a little and sat down and said, "Qian Jian, how are you going to deal with this? And how are you going to tell the Jiang family?"
"I will discuss this with Jiang Chen first, and then go with him to tell his adoptive parents about this matter."
"Where's Chien-jian?"
"I've already notified them to cancel his birthday party tomorrow. I'll tell Qian Jian after I've dealt with Jiang Chen's issue. He's been emotionally unstable lately, and I'm worried about complications."
Mr. He sighed, "Talk to him nicely. He will be eighteen tomorrow. We should treat him as an adult and leave home. Even if he is not a child of our He family, he has called me grandpa for so many years. We must not break off contact in the future. Don't hurt the child's heart."
He Yanfeng opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and nodded: "I know."
"And more." Mr. He said coldly, "Check this matter for me. I don't believe these two children were taken away by mistake."
Chenghua
After the first class, many students took out their mobile phones to play for a while. Wang Wei was the same. When he was about to open the game, he saw a message pop up in the group created by several good friends. Without thinking, he clicked on it.
He could barely read the content of the messages scrolling up one after another:
——Why was He Qianjian’s birthday party cancelled?
——It’s true. My deskmate’s father sent me a message and asked him to find out what’s going on.
——Is Dawei here? You and He Qianjian are in the same class. Do you have any inside information?
——Great and powerful! Speak up! I’m so anxious!
——Is this true or false? !!!
Wang Wei was stunned and immediately typed: Impossible, He Qianjian sent invitations to our entire class as soon as he came to school this morning. Why would he cancel the invitation to us?
——Not only my deskmate, but several people in our class received the notice. It can’t be fake news.
——Yes, it seems like the whole school is talking about this now.
——Don't lie to us, right? He Qianjian would send you an invitation, but you two don't seem to have a very good relationship.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Wang Wei immediately took out the invitation from the drawer, took a photo and prepared to send it. Before he pressed the send button, he saw a boy from the next class standing at the back door and shouted, "He Qianjian, what's going on in your family? Why did you cancel the birthday party just like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell silent. Wang Wei was not the only one who had just received the news. Everyone was very curious about whether the news was true or not, but they did not dare to ask He Qianjian. When someone asked the question at this time, everyone pricked up their ears.
"What are you talking about?" He Qianjian was talking to the system in his mind. It took him a few seconds to react to what the boy said. He stood up and asked, "What do you mean by cancel?"
"Your birthday party!" The boy and He Qianjian had a good relationship and their families were similar, so he spoke casually: "My mom sent me a message saying that your birthday party was cancelled. Don't you know that?"
"Impossible!" He Qianjian subconsciously doubted: "Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Seeing that he really didn't know, the boy said, "You don't really not know, do you? The whole school knows about it. Ask your classmates, someone will definitely know."
The boy's expression was so real that He Qianjian's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned to look at the students next to him, his eyes fixed on Wang Wei who was holding the invitation: "Do you know?"
Wang Wei secretly cursed his bad luck and raised his phone carefully, "I just found out about this too. Several of my friends are asking about this."
He Qianjian snatched his phone away, and after seeing the content of the chat, his expression changed instantly. He took out the phone from the drawer, leaving the students in the classroom looking at each other in bewilderment.
After finding a quiet corner, He Qianjian first called home, but it was his aunt who answered the phone and told him that He Yanfeng and Yang Yun were out. After hanging up, he called He Yanfeng, but no one answered after several calls, not only He Yanfeng, but also Yang Yun's phone.
The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. He Qianjian smashed his phone hard. After his chest heaved violently for a long time, he turned around and went back to the classroom.
The class has started and the teacher on the podium was giving a lecture. When he saw He Qianjian coming in from outside, he stopped and frowned without saying much. However, He Qianjian returned to his seat but did not sit down. Instead, he picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom. He was stunned for a moment and chased after him, but only saw He Qianjian without even turning his head.
The teacher returned to the podium and gritted her teeth in anger, "He has become more and more outrageous since he gave up the competition. He is so willful because of his wealthy family. I want to see what he will become when he can no longer rely on his family. I tell all of you students that family conditions are not everything. Before you can do anything in this world, you must first learn to be a human being!"
He Qianjian didn't hear what the teacher said in the classroom. He was already filled with panic and anger, and kept asking the system in his mind: [Why did you suddenly cancel my birthday party? Did the He family find out something? ]
The system's voice was cold: [I have told you many times that it is impossible for anyone to find out what I did. You don't have to worry at all.]
[Then how do you explain the He family suddenly canceling the birthday party, and I can’t get through to either of my parents! ]
The system said: [There are many possibilities for the banquet to be cancelled, the least likely being that your identity is discovered.]
[Whether this is the reason or not, I can't wait any longer.] He Qianjian walked into an empty alley, took out a cell phone from his schoolbag, and said sinisterly: [Help me cover up the call, I don't want to worry about it any more, I have to get rid of him now.]
[The source of the number has been completely anonymized. ]
He Qianjian made a phone call and said word by word: "Let's do it tomorrow. Remember, I want his life. The transaction will not be completed until he is dead."
After hanging up the phone, he completely relaxed, and as he walked out of the alley, there was still a faint smile on his face.
