On his first day back home, Huo Beian sensed the suffocating atmosphere and undercurrents within the wealthy family.
For example, he clearly saw resentment in his second brother Lian Sino's eyes, but when Lian Sino saw him, he still went up to hug him with great enthusiasm, saying, "Big brother, you're finally back safe and sound. I missed you so much."
"Yes, thank you, second brother."
After all, the necessary superficial work still needs to be done.
Aunt Lian Xinxin was also very excited. She stepped forward and looked him up and down. "My dear nephew, you're finally back. You've lost weight."
She reached out and touched his face, her expression full of heartache. "What a pity about this face. Sigh. It doesn't look like it used to."
Huo Beian had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I don't remember many things after the car accident."
"Brother Sicheng, do you still remember me?"
Just then, a stylishly dressed, slender young woman walked over and warmly took his hand. "Brother Sicheng, I'm your fiancée, Qiu Ya. Do you remember me?"
Qiu Ya was very happy. Looking at Lian Sicheng, who was even more handsome after the plastic surgery, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Fiancée?" Huo Beian was stunned when he heard this. What would happen to his wife if a fiancée suddenly appeared?
However, it seems that wealthy families have always had business marriages.
Damn it. More trouble.
He had no choice but to play dumb, "I don't recognize you, who are you?"
Qiu Ya looked sorrowful. "Brother Sicheng, it's okay if you don't recognize me. I'll wait until you remember."
Grandpa Lian immediately stepped in to smooth things over, "Qiu Ya, Sicheng just suffered some amnesia after the car accident. Don't worry, he'll remember you. Don't be too anxious, let's put your wedding on hold for now."
“Okay, Uncle. I’m willing to wait.” After saying that, Qiu Ya turned to look at Lian Sicheng with admiration, “Brother Sicheng, let’s add each other on WeChat again?”
Since Huo Beian transmigrated, he deleted all the women from the original owner's phone. He only added Song Ning herself.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know you right now. I don't want to add a woman I don't know."
Huo Beian could only turn away from her gaze, and immediately felt a bad premonition.
There's always trouble in wealthy families, so being transmigrated into one might not be a good thing.
He was determined to refuse the marriage proposal to Qiu Ya. He'd simply sever ties with the wealthy family if necessary.
The only person he wants to marry is Song Ning...
"Then we'll add more later." Qiu Ya was a little embarrassed, but she could only take it slowly.
Lian Sino, who had been observing Lian Sicheng's behavior, was overjoyed to see that his amnesia was genuine.
I just don't know the extent of Lian Sicheng's amnesia. If it's to the point that he can't even handle company affairs, that would be good.
That evening, the entire family ate together. Lian Sicheng's father, Lian Zhan, also returned. Qiu Ya didn't leave and was seated next to Huo Beian.
This meal was also fraught with undercurrents.
Throughout the meal, Huo Beian remained calm and quietly observed the other people at the table.
Based on his years of military experience, he sensed that Lian Xinxin was not simple, nor was Lian Snow; their eyes revealed a kind of hostility when they looked at him.
I imagine many people are eyeing his position, after all, he's the eldest grandson and will be in charge of the entire family business in the future.
Huo Beian even had a vague feeling that Lian Sicheng's car accident was probably not simple. He should find out who did it when he had time. If he didn't find out, there would be hidden dangers later.
Sure enough, during the meal, Lian Sino asked, "Dad, my older brother lost his memory in a car accident. What will happen to the company's affairs? Will he still be able to handle them?"
Lien Chan frowned. "It's alright. I'll hire a professional manager to run the company. Important decisions will also be made by the board of directors."
Hearing this, Lian Sino looked indignant. "Dad, can't you let me temporarily manage the company? I trust family members more than outsiders. It would be a good opportunity for me to gain experience."
"Don't you know your own limitations?" Lien Chan retorted directly, without any politeness. He had always been disappointed in his second son. He had spoiled him too much when he was young, and now he had grown up to be a pampered brat who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
At this moment, Lian Sino's mother, Zhao Guohong, spoke up, "Old Lian, I've always gone along with you all these years, but today I really can't hold back anymore, I have to speak out. You're being too biased. You value your eldest son so much, but you only give our Sino a small share."
Lien Chan rolled his eyes at her. "The reason Si-cheng is able to manage the company, besides his outstanding abilities, is that he inherited his mother's shares. According to the board's rules, the person with the most shares is the executive chairman. This is something the board has publicly acknowledged. Si-cheng's mother made great contributions to the Lien Group's success. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not having any shares in the company."
Hearing this, Zhao Guohong fell silent. She had risen through the ranks from being Lien Chan's secretary and had no shares in the company whatsoever. This fact left her speechless, and she blushed deeply upon hearing it.
Huo Beian, having overheard the conversation, realized that Lian Sicheng and Lian Sino were half-brothers. A drama of half-brothers fighting for inheritance in a wealthy family was about to unfold.
But he had no intention of managing the company, so he offered, "Dad, my mind isn't working well after this car accident. You should hand the company over to a professional manager. Health is the most important thing. I just want to get better."
He can't be too high-profile until the mastermind behind it is found.
Lien Chan could only sigh, "Then that's the only way. Second sister, as the third largest shareholder, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Lian Xinxin nodded. "I have no objection."
"Then it's settled. Let's have a good meal."
So everyone started eating.
Qiu Ya kept piling food onto Huo Beian's plate, saying, "Brother Sicheng, eat more."
Huo Beian reached out to cover his bowl, saying, "I have my own hands."
Qiu Ya felt a little embarrassed, so she stopped picking up food.
Huo Beian sat close to her and felt his nose tingling from the strong perfume she was wearing.
He then offered to switch places with Lian Sino, saying, "Second brother, let's switch."
Qiu Ya was a little unhappy when she saw him run away.
Lian Sino eagerly served food to Qiu Ya.
"Come on, Qiu Ya, eat more."
He had always liked Qiu Ya, but Qiu Ya liked Lian Sicheng, and the two had been engaged for a long time.
Now that Lian Sicheng has lost his memory, it's actually a good opportunity for him to take over.
"Brother Sicheng, are you really that unwilling to sit next to me?"
Even the old man could only try to appease him, "Qiu Ya, please forgive him. Si Cheng's head was damaged in the car accident, and he doesn't remember you. Please be understanding."
Qiu Ya was a little unhappy, so she ate a few bites and then said goodbye.
This meal was fraught with both open and covert attacks.
