Chapter 74 Xiao Wei, I Must Recognize You
As soon as Chen Wei got off the plane, Qin Zhen led him all the way to the Qin family.
The Qin family's old house.
From the moment Qin Zhen appeared with Chen Wei, the ancestral hall, which was originally a little noisy, became quiet in an instant.
Qin Zhen took a quick glance and found that except for her eldest brother who was on a business trip and her sick old grandfather who could not come, all the other uncles and cousins were present.
Facing everyone's scrutinizing gazes, Qin Zhen led Chen Wei and walked to the upper seat and stood there with their heads held high.
His calm face showed the composure and confidence that came from years of power.
A light green cheongsam paired with a custom-made white velvet shawl further highlights her grace and elegance.
With a calm and elegant smile on her lips, Qin Zhen slowly spoke:
"Thanks to my family's kindness, they sent me abroad for further studies more than 20 years ago. It is because of their careful training that I have achieved all the success I have today."
"I've hastily called all of you uncles to the ancestral hall today for no other reason than to trouble you, the clan members, and ask you to help bear witness."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze, and under everyone's gaze, she looked at Chen Wei standing beside her with tender eyes, dotingly, and said calmly:
"Qin Wei—I gave birth to him through IVF abroad and raised him for over twenty years. Today, I intend to officially bring him back into the Qin family."
"What!!!???"
Qin Zhen's words were like thunder.
As soon as the words came out, sparks and lightning immediately exploded in the solemn ancestral hall.
"What kind of international joke is this?"
Everyone knows that Qin Zhen's trip abroad was deliberately fabricated and shown to the media in order to save the Qin family's reputation and conceal the truth.
What was she saying now? This young man in front of her, who looked somewhat like her, was her child born through in vitro fertilization abroad?
How could she dare to say such a ridiculous and lame excuse so confidently in front of all the clan members present?
Only Chen Wei, who was looking at his mother, raised his eyebrows unconsciously as his mother spoke.
Just now in the car, his mother only told him the general situation of the Qin family.
He just said that he must be recognized, but didn't say what method he would use.
Before coming, he thought there would be a tough battle today.
But I didn't expect that the matter could be solved so easily by my mother with just a few words.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became tense because of Qin Zhen's words, and everyone stared at the two of them with murderous eyes.
Qin Zhen seemed unaware and just looked at Chen Wei with a comforting look, telling him not to be afraid.
The moment he turned his head, his aura returned to its original sharpness and decisiveness.
Looking at one of the old men who stood up, Qin Zhen said:
"Why do you think, Uncle, that I wasted my time calling everyone here today just to play some silly joke on you?"
"What else?"
The man called Second Uncle immediately retorted:
"Everyone knows about your trip abroad..."
His voice stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and he suddenly looked up at Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen just tilted her head slightly and looked back at him with a faint smile:
"Why didn't Second Uncle continue talking? What if I went abroad?"
The gentle question was asked in a low voice, but it sounded inexplicably frightening to people's ears.
Everyone present knew it.
The order for Qin Zhen to go abroad was personally given by the eldest son of the Qin family, who was also the head of the family. No family member was allowed to tell anyone about it.
The family demanded a consistent statement that Qin Zhen had been missing for ten years because she was sent abroad by the family.
Even if we put aside this premise.
Over the years, no one could deny that under Qin Zhen's leadership, the Qin family's stock price had been growing, and the dividends they could count at the end of the year were enough to make their hands soft.
The reason why the Qin family can still be successfully ranked among the four major families is inseparable from Qin Zhen’s efforts over the years.
Qin Zhen's reputation is the Qin family's reputation. If Qin Zhen's reputation is damaged, the Qin family will also suffer.
If the Qin family suffers losses, their shares and year-end profit dividends will be affected.
Therefore, Qin Zhen’s incident ten years ago must not be brought up to make a fuss at this time.
But he was a little reluctant to let Qin Zhen recognize his son, who he brought from nowhere, as a member of the family.
I used to think that Qin Zhen was a woman with no children and no one to rely on. So what if she held most of the Qin family’s shares?
Property is something you can’t bring with you when you are born and you can’t take with you when you die.
Once she dies, the shares will naturally fall into the hands of her relatives.
Now, Qin Zhen has a son by her side for no apparent reason.
Needless to say, after her death, her shares will definitely be left to her son.
He wanted to say something to stop her, but when he met Qin Zhen's smiling eyes, he immediately lost half of his confidence.
This damn girl is full of tricks. You never know when she'll set a trap for him and wait for him to fall into it.
With a cold snort, the man called Second Uncle could only turn his attention to Chen Wei, who had been silent since entering the ancestral hall.
"Let's not discuss whether he is a descendant of our Qin family or not, but how can you, Qin Zhen, decide casually on matters like recognizing his ancestry and including him in the family tree?"
She calmly stepped forward, blocking Chen Wei behind her, blocking her uncle's sight. Qin Zhen smiled at him politely and courteously:
"I think you must have made a mistake, uncle."
"What did I do wrong?"
Qin Changhai frowned. For some reason, looking at Qin Zhen like this, he always felt that this damn girl would not be able to say anything good.
Sure enough, the next second, Qin Zhen spoke calmly:
"I invited you all here today not to ask for your opinions, but simply to ask for your help as a witness."
"Xiao Wei, I must admit it."
"Besides, I don't think I need everyone's consent to let Xiao Wei return to the Qin family, right?"
Qin Zhen's voice was light but still majestic.
Her beautiful, emotionless eyes swept over everyone present. It was not a question, but a notification from a shareholder who could bring benefits to the Qin family.
Qin family members present here, look at me and I look at you.
Although everyone was angry at Qin Zhen for using such arrogant words in front of the elders, no one dared to really look into Qin Zhen's eyes at this time.
It was Qin Zhen who turned the tide and pulled the Qin family back from the edge of the four major families.
The product series developed and launched by Qin Zhen occupy a large share of the market.
To put it bluntly, they are basically relying on Qin Zhen for their livelihood now.
So, at this time, who would be so reckless as to oppose her?
