Dating a Rich Godfather 18
Tao Yuan openly explained to reporters that anyone who wanted to get the painting in the future could bet something that satisfied him, and whoever beat him at Go could take the painting away.
Many people were tempted by the idea, and many Go masters personally challenged Tao Yuan, only to leave with their prizes and leave feeling completely convinced. Those who couldn't play Go would hire a Go expert at a high price to play against Tao Yuan, but the results were always the same.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to play chess with Tao Yuan. Not only did they not get the painting, but they also lost most of their fortune. No one could afford such a hassle.
Even the richest people would give up after trying once or twice without success. Only one person never gave up and challenged Tao Yuan to play Go in public for the fourth time.
The first two times, Mr. Liu thought Tao Yuan's wins were lucky, that he was just one step away from defeating him. But when he lost to Tao Yuan for the fourth time, and it was a crushing defeat that was beyond redemption, he realized that everything was under Tao Yuan's control. No matter how much he studied the previous chess games, he could not beat him.
Tao Yuan always made it clear to everyone else that they couldn't possibly defeat him. Only with Old Man Liu did he give him the illusion that he'd won by luck, tricking him into not only losing three plots of land to him, but also half of the Liu family company's shares. With these shares, plus some scattered shares, Wei Shicheng could directly acquire their company.
Looking at the chess game with no room for recovery, Mr. Liu finally realized that he had fallen into Tao Yuan's trap.
Old Master Liu slowly raised his head, looked at Tao Yuan and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"That's right." Tao Yuan admitted it directly with a smile.
"Why?" Old Master Liu felt that since he had already given him most of the Liu family's wealth, he should at least know the reason. "Because we didn't agree to sell the land to Shicheng before, do you hold a grudge against us?"
"The land belongs to you. It's your right to sell it or not. If I hold a grudge against you for this, I'm afraid even God wouldn't tolerate it. I'm really afraid of retribution."
"Then why?" Old Master Liu stared at him intently and asked, "You could have clearly made me realize the first time that I had no chance of defeating you. Why did you let me have the illusion that I could win?"
"Because of you, the Liu family, you have offended me. If I don't destroy your Liu family, I won't be able to take revenge." Tao Yuan said.
"Who in our Liu family has ever offended you?" Old Master Liu was conscious of teaching his descendants strictly so that they would not bully others.
Liu Xiujie, who was sitting below, immediately lowered his head and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Your grandson, Liu Xiujie, pursued me before, but I refused. So he held a grudge against me and tried every way to cause me trouble. Not only did he even hire others to deliberately embarrass me. He and his partner, Xu Shaoyan, pushed me into a desperate situation step by step, just to make me beg him. So I want him to feel what it feels like to be forced into a desperate situation."
Old Master Liu suddenly looked at Liu Xiujie. He didn't expect that this grandson, who had always been sensible and obedient, had actually done such a thing behind his back.
The people around Liu Xiujie also looked at him, thinking that it was him who caused the Liu family to face the current situation.
"I'm a person who holds grudges, and I'll never let go. Considering that you're related to the Wei family, I'm reminding you that this isn't the end. Liu Xiujie must be severely punished, otherwise I won't let it go."
"You don't need to do anything. I'll do it myself." Old Master Liu said through gritted teeth, then stood up and walked out.
The audience also stood up and walked out. They discussed what they had just heard. This was another piece of gossip that they could talk about for a long time.
Tao Yuan returned to the lounge and looked through the land deeds and share transfer documents. "The Liu family is truly a famous landowner. These lands are filled with invisible mountains of gold and silver. Over the years, countless people have been jealous."
"No matter how jealous others are, it's all yours now." Wei Shicheng poured him a glass of warm water, then sat down next to him and looked at the documents with him.
"What happened to the Xu family?" Since he didn't intend to let Liu Xiujie go, he naturally wouldn't let Xu Shaoyan go. Moreover, the sudden bankruptcy of the original owner's father was also related to the Xu family.
"They will declare bankruptcy soon," said Wei Shicheng.
Old Master Liu said he would do it himself, and he did it himself. He beat Liu Xiujie according to the family rules, then removed him from the Liu family tree and sent him abroad to let him fend for himself.
The Liu family had strict upbringing, and Old Master Liu taught all his children sternly. However, the accidental death of his youngest son many years ago has always been a source of pain in his heart. Because Liu Xiujie lost his father at a young age, Old Master Liu inevitably favored him somewhat, but he never imagined that he would almost destroy the Liu family.
After all, Mr. Liu is old now and not as cruel as he was when he was young. Sending Liu Xiujie abroad can be regarded as a protection for him.
Wei Shicheng was not only wealthy and powerful, but also incredibly ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to support such a large industry on his own. He also chose not to harm Liu Xiujie because of their relationship, but instead allowed Tao Yuan to lay everything out in the open.
If the Liu family does not take action after everything is laid out on the table, then he will take action, so Liu Xiujie was sent abroad to fend for himself.
A year later, Tao Yuan and Wei Shicheng held their wedding. The grand scene of this wedding, which had been prepared for a whole year, shocked the whole country.
Invited guests chatted in the castle gardens, where long tables were set with delicious snacks, a magnificent champagne tower, and fresh seafood. Children in their miniature dresses and suits ran and played on the grass, while adults sat or stood together, chatting about things that interested them.
Girls of all ages like to chat about gossip when they get together, and wealthy wives are no exception.
"Tell me, who is the winner between Director Wei and Du Qingyu when they get married?"
"Everyone used to think Du Qingyu was incredibly lucky to be chosen by Director Wei and be expected to marry into a wealthy family. But now it seems that despite her youth, Du Qingyu is quite capable. Not to mention the staggering prices her paintings fetch, just the wealth he won playing Go last year alone makes him richer than many wealthy families."
"So this is a powerful alliance. The Wei family's power will be even more formidable in the future. It will definitely grow even bigger, and maybe even become the richest man in our country."
"I think they are definitely the richest people. I used to think Du Qingyu was lucky, but now it seems that Director Wei is even luckier. He can marry a young and beautiful woman who will be of great help to him. Many wealthy families' marriages end in mutual entertainment. It's really not easy to marry someone you love."
"Although Director Wei is indeed lucky, I still envy Du Qingyu more. He is his own biggest support and doesn't need anyone else to support him in marrying into a wealthy family. He has no parents-in-law to look after, no brothers and sisters to steal his property, and no stepchildren or illegitimate children to bother him. Who wouldn't envy such a life?"
"Who says it's not true? I wouldn't even dare to imagine such a thing in my dreams, but it actually happened to someone else."
At this moment, the men were talking about the same things as the ladies.
"Years ago, many people thought the Wei family was finished, leaving behind a young only son, wondering how he could face the ravages of the world. Who could have imagined that without parents to protect him or brothers to help him, Chairman Wei would single-handedly develop the Eagle Brilliance Group to its current size?"
"I've seen Director Wei's methods before. If he wasn't ruthless, things wouldn't have gotten this far. Now that he's married with a virtuous wife, she's a huge help to him."
"Not only is she a great help to him, but she's also young and beautiful, charming and talented. How could we not encounter such a good thing?"
"This kind of thing is hard to come by, you can't envy it."
"Not only is Mr. Wei capable and wealthy, he's also tall and handsome. Even though he's almost forty, his physique is every bit as good as a young man's, and he still has a mature charm. He's got everything going for him, so he must be attracted to someone like Mr. Wei."
"I agree with you. When I played basketball with Director Wei, we couldn't even begin to catch up with his stamina and endurance."
"Ah~, how come there's such a big difference between people?"
Amid the music of the orchestra, eight white horses pulled a luxurious golden carriage slowly along the road covered with roses.
Wei Shicheng was wearing a black suit and riding a white horse beside the carriage, while Tao Yuan was wearing a white suit and sitting in the carriage.
The wedding officially began, witnessed by all the guests and watched by all the audiences live, under the flower arch and in front of the rotating fountain. The two signed the marriage certificate, exchanged rings, and kissed each other deeply.
Xu Shaoyan dragged his exhausted body back to his shabby rented apartment, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV with the remote, hoping to watch some TV and relax. But it happened to be a replay of the wedding. How did he know it was a replay? Because he had already seen the live broadcast at his workplace.
He turned off the TV and lay down on the sofa. He felt really tired. He didn't know how much longer he could go on living like this. He dropped out of school after his father went bankrupt. His father said that he had invested the most in him and now he couldn't even get his money back. He asked him to make money and pay him back no matter what.
He worked three jobs a day and had to work as a bartender at night. Every week, his father took away most of his income, and the remaining money was only enough to keep him from starving to death.
He no longer had the qualifications to even envy that person, let alone be jealous. He simply didn't have the energy to spare. Why had he ended up like this? Perhaps he had made a mistake from the moment he approached his father and asked him to sponsor his Chinese painting studies. One wrong step led to another, leading to the current situation.
It was late at night and he had no more time to feel sad for himself. After taking a shower, he immediately went out to work.
The bar manager saw him coming and immediately said, "Hurry up and go to Room 302. Boss Wu and the others are waiting for you."
Xu Shaoyan walked into private room 302 with an expressionless face and a soulless look. Drinking had already started inside, and two young men were being held by two older men while drinking.
Xu Shaoyan walked over and sat down. The middle-aged man who had been waiting for him, with a greasy face, hugged him, kissed and touched him, and said, "Xiao Xu, you're finally here. I missed you so much."
"Xiao Xu, come and have a drink with Boss Wu." The person next to him said, "Boss Wu came here just for you."
Xu Shaoyan picked up the wine on the table and drank it all. At first, he found it a little unbearable, but now he was numb. Even if that fat hand had reached into his pants, he didn't feel anything.
Wei Shicheng and Tao Yuan loved each other all their lives, and their love did not fade even when they grew old.
When they were both old men with great-grandchildren, Tao Yuan didn't look old at all. Although his face was definitely not as fresh as when he was 20, he didn't have any wrinkles at all. His face was fair and tight, and he looked almost like his grandson.
Wei Shicheng suspected that he was a demon in disguise, otherwise why did he never age? And the older he got, the more indescribable charm he had.
The two men, who had just become great-grandfathers, were not as passionate about sex as they were when they were young, but their desire had not diminished.
Tao Yuan opened her legs, breathing rapidly, and only closed them after he had finished. After he lay down, she lay on his chest.
Wei Shicheng held the person in his arms, looked down at his face, and couldn't help asking again, "Why aren't you old yet?"
Tao Yuan touched his face. Actually, he didn't mean to do it, but he didn't know if it was because of the system, but he just wouldn't age.
"Isn't this good? If I had a face full of wrinkles, would you still be so interested?" Tao Yuan said.
"No matter what you become, I am interested." Wei Shicheng stroked him, feeling his still smooth skin.
……………………
Although Wei Shicheng aged slower than the average person and was still a rather handsome old man, he still couldn't avoid the aging of his body and organs. He was rushed to the hospital several times, and everyone thought he was going to die, but he miraculously survived.
Wei Shicheng lay on the bed, holding Tao Yuan's hand tightly and said, "I can't die. You must be a demon in disguise. If I die, you will run away with another demon."
Tao Yuan was at a loss for words and said, "I'm not a demon, and I won't run away with other demons."
"Then I can't die either. Otherwise, no one will protect you. What if someone bullies you? What if someone takes you away?"
"I'm already so old, who would want to rob me? My children and grandchildren are not just for show, how can they let others bully me?"
"No! If I leave, someone will definitely spy on you."
"I am yours in life and your ghost in death. Even if I become a fairy, I will only be your fairy. Don't worry, I won't have anyone else except you." Tao Yuan kissed him affectionately on the forehead.
Wei Shicheng couldn't let go of Tao Yuan, and Tao Yuan couldn't bear to see him torment himself like this.
One night, Tao Yuan lay in Wei Shicheng's arms, leaving this world and returning to the system. Almost at the same moment he left, Wei Shicheng also left.
