Chapter 103 A harmonious family

brings prosperity The letter was actually received by Chen Baoqin. After being disappointed with Wen Rongsheng, she no longer had the ambition to show off in front of him, and she was not so active in working for the charity foundation.

The main reason was that she was in this position, and it seemed that she could mobilize a lot of funds, but in reality she could only watch and do nothing. The money had nothing to do with her.

This is not to say that all charity foundations are like this. Some charity foundations raise funds under the banner of saving people, but after the funds are deposited, most of them are embezzled by internal personnel. Half of the funds that are really used for charity are considered good, and the chairman of this type of charity foundation can make a lot of money.

However, after the wave of attacks last year, there are fewer charity foundations that dare to do such excessive things. Of course, now they can still make more money than Chen Baoqin.

The reason why Chen Baoqin couldn't get money was not because she wasn't greedy enough, but because Wen Rongsheng was very strict in this regard.

Yes, he looked like he handed the charity fund to Chen Baoqin, but the vice chairman and financial manager of the foundation were all his people, and he would check the accounts every now and then.

To women, Wen Rongsheng was not a good husband, and to children he was not a good father, but he still had a very good reputation outside.

He also attached great importance to this reputation and had been doing charity work in a down-to-earth manner over the years.

In addition, the Wen family's charity fund never solicited donations. It was either allocated from the companies under the Lirong Group or paid out of Wen Rongsheng's own pocket. There was actually not much difference between the former and the latter, because he paid for it anyway.

Wen Rongsheng could give money to women, but he would never allow the women around him to get money from the company or the charity fund.

Chen Baoqin is not very smart, but she has a clear understanding of these aspects and has never crossed the line.

She has always been diligent in her work. First, being the chairman of a charity foundation is very respectable and good for reputation. Second, before Wen Jiadong got into trouble, she always thought that the Wen family would belong to her son, and she was actually helping her son by doing these things.

But now, Wen Jiadong is even further away from being an heir than Wen Jiaqi. As for a respectable reputation, as long as she regularly attends some banquets and important occasions, she can get it even if she doesn't work.

... Chen Baoqin doesn't want to work hard anymore.

After giving up working hard, Chen Baoqin's schedule became relaxed. She spends one-third of the day at home, one-third at beauty salons, playing cards, and leisurely entertainment, and the last one-third is the time to report to the charity foundation.

Although Wen Jiadong had no motivation, he was even more unwilling to stay at home. His sexual orientation was always a thorn in the hearts of Wen Rongsheng and Chen Baoqin.

They found it difficult to understand, and now they felt guilty about him, so they could only turn a deaf ear to it.

So although Wen Jiadong lived at home, it was common for him to not return home at night. Even if he did not live outside, he often went out early and came back late, looking busier than the richest man himself.

So, although the letter was sent to Wen Jiadong, Chen Baoqin, who was at home, received it earlier.

The sender's name on the envelope was Zhang San, which was obviously a pseudonym. The mailing address was a mailbox on the roadside, and the handwriting seemed to be printed, standard but without pen strokes. It was obvious that the sender did not want people to know his true identity.

Normally, Chen Baoqin would ignore such a letter, but in addition to the sender and recipient information, there was a line of words written on the envelope -

This letter is very important! You must read it! Seeing this line of words, Chen Baoqin felt that this letter was even less important.

But what if?

Chen Baoqin thought about it and took out her cell phone to call Wen Jiadong.

Wen Jiadong didn't go out to have fun today, so he answered the phone very quickly. When he learned that there was a letter from him, he asked in confusion: "What letter? I don't know."

Chen Baoqin read the information on the envelope to Wen Jiadong and said: "There is also a sentence on it, saying that the letter is very important and you must read it."

Wen Jiadong sneered, thinking that this was deliberately mysterious, but he didn't let Chen Baoqin throw the letter away, saying: "Mommy, check if there is any problem with the envelope. If there is no problem, just open it directly."

"Okay."

Chen Baoqin touched the thickness of the envelope and felt that there was no danger, so she tore the envelope directly. But she didn't want to open this layer, because there was another layer inside.

And the words on the inner layer of the envelope...

Chen Baoqin's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly raised her head to look left and right. She was relieved to see that there was a dandy man outside.

Patting her chest and sitting back, Chen Baoqin frowned and looked at the letter in her hand. She pondered for nearly three minutes before she made up her mind to open the letter to see who was playing tricks.

There was only a folded piece of letter paper in the envelope. Chen Baoqin opened it in two moves and saw familiar words as expected.

Normally, given the relationship between Chen Baoqin and Xu Meifeng, it is unlikely that they would recognize each other's handwriting.

But normally, mistresses and concubines cannot be in the same room.

The Wen family is a special case, so it is not surprising that Chen Baoqin would understand Xu Meifeng, her rival.

After reading the letter, Chen Baoqin was panicked and very angry.

Because the content of the letter was Xu Meifeng asking Wen Jiaxin for help, and the reason she asked for help was that she knew that Lu Juan wanted to kill her! Moreover, when writing this letter, they had already reached a temporary agreement that as long as Wen Jiaxin could come up with three million, Lu Juan would let her go.

Chen Baoqin didn't expect Lu Juan to be such a person. She had clearly agreed to help her, and then she went to cooperate with Xu Meifeng. She was so angry that she didn't even want to pay the balance .

But as soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Chen Baoqin felt that it was not possible.

The balance must be paid, otherwise it would be troublesome to really force Lu Juan to turn herself in and confess her.

For three million, it's not worth it.

Besides, no matter what the process was, Xu Meifeng was dead after all, and this result was what she wanted.

It's just... this letter was obviously written to Wen Jiaxin, and Xu Meifeng had agreed with Lu Juan that her brother would deliver the letter to Wen Jiaxin.

So why did this letter fall into her hands?

Did Lu Juan's brother betray her?

Was this letter sent by him?

Chen Baoqin couldn't figure it out, so she took the letter and read it carefully.

In fact, she didn't know what she was reading. This letter was written by Xu Meifeng to Wen Jiaxin before her death. It was obvious that there would be no answers in the letter.

After rereading it twice, she really found a clue - this letter was actually hidden!

And this hidden letter was not written very cleverly. Although the way it hides the head is to tamper with the beginning of the paragraph, the number of words is not fixed. Some paragraphs are the first word, and some paragraphs are the first two words, which makes it impossible for readers to find the pattern through the beginning of the paragraph or diagonally.

But then again, this might not be Xu Meifeng's scheming. She wrote the hidden letter to prevent others. If Chen Baoqin hadn't read it several times, she might have been fooled.

After discovering the hidden letter, Chen Baoqin read it again: "If you don't want others to know that you participated in drugging, save me."

"Drugged!"

As soon as she finished reading, Chen Baoqin repeated the key points and said in surprise and anger: "Wen Jiaxin also participated in drugging!" As

soon as the voice fell, Chen Baoqin hurried to find her mobile phone and called Wen Jiadong again: "Jiadong, come back soon, there are new discoveries!"

Half an hour later, Wen Jiadong hurried back home and took the letter from Chen Baoqin.

Following Chen Baoqin's instructions, Wen Jiadong found the hidden source. He couldn't help but clench his hands holding the letter paper, and the letter paper was deformed and cracked at the edges.

His face was tense and he asked coldly, "Mom, is this letter really real?"

Chen Baoqin had no idea whether the letter was real or not. She only said, "The words on the letter are indeed Xu Meifeng's notes." After a pause, she said, "I know the brother of Lu Juan mentioned in the letter. If you want to know whether it's true or not, I can ask him."

"Ask!"

Wen Jiadong said without hesitation.

If the letter is fake, it's fine, but if it's real... If it's real, he will never let Wen Jiaxin go!

Wen Jiadong pursed his lips tightly and thought coldly.

...

Lu Juan's brother is easy to find. In fact, he was also looking for Chen Baoqin.

Just this morning, he received news that his sister was involved in a murder case in a prison riot and might face prosecution again.

He knew it was done without having to ask Lu Juan for confirmation.

His sister couldn't show up in prison, so he had to ask for the balance himself.

As a result, he met the person, but the other party didn't come to give money, but to question him.

Lu Juan's brother is certainly not a good person. He often takes his younger brothers to collect protection fees, but the more such people are, the more they know who not to mess with.

In addition, he saw that Chen Baoqin didn't want to evade the debt, so he confessed everything.

Chen Baoqin felt something was not right: "You mean, you handed the letter to Wen Jiaxin? She tore up the letter after reading it?"

"Yes." Lu Juan's brother knew that there was discord within the Wen family, so he deliberately said, "Her daughter is heartless. She tore up the letter and drove me away. She also said that if I dared to look for her again, she would call the police."

Seeing that Chen Baoqin didn't know that he had looked for Wen Jiaxin again later, Lu Juan's brother instinctively concealed the matter.

Chen Baoqin did not think much about it, but was very puzzled: "Are you sure you handed the letter to Wen Jiaxin exactly as it was? Nothing else happened?"

"Nothing happened." Lu Juan's brother was confused, and tried to recall it. After a few minutes, he said, "Other things did happen that day. When I arrived downstairs at Xu Meifeng's daughter's company, I bumped into someone. But the letter is still there, and I did give it to her daughter."

Later, Chen Baoqin asked Lu Juan's brother some other questions, and he said he didn't know. Chen Baoqin had to give up, promised to transfer the money within three days, and sent the man away.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Baoqin went to a house outside. Wen Jiadong was waiting there. As soon as he saw him, he asked, "How is it?"

"I asked." Chen Baoqin repeated what she had found out to Wen Jiadong, and concluded, "The current situation is that Xu Meifeng did write a letter to Wen Jiaxin, but I'm not sure if it was this one. If it was, the time of the substitution was probably that collision."

Wen Jiadong didn't care about this, and said fiercely, "Even if the letter is fake, the content of the letter must be true!"

Chen Baoqin asked, "How did you know for sure?"

"You just said that after reading the letter, Wen Jiaxin didn't even hesitate and directly had someone chase that bastard away. She also said she would call the police. It shows that you are right, Mommy. She is such a cold-blooded person."

Wen Jiadong said, "Xu Meifeng must know her daughter better than us. For the sake of property, Wen Jiaxin didn't even look at her after she got into trouble. Why did Xu Meifeng think she would take out three million to save her?"

Chen Baoqin quickly understood what her son meant and asked, "Because she has the leverage over Wen Jiaxin in her hand?"

"That's right."

Wen Jiadong pounded the wooden tea table in front of him, lowered his head and said regretfully: "Now that I think about it, whether it's Kelly or..." He concealed the name of the male model and said, "Their appearance is actually related to Wen Jiaxin."

Peng Kaili is of course a schoolmate of Wen Jiaxin, and it can be said that Wen Jiaxin was the one who got to know and date them.

The male model was not introduced by Wen Jiaxin, but in the process of getting along, it often happens that the other party likes a sport or a thing, which happens to be what he likes.

At that time, he just thought they were compatible, but now thinking about it, he has never been on guard against Wen Jiaxin, so she knows a lot of his preferences.

Thinking carefully, during the period when she just met the male model and they met frequently, Wen Jiaxin seemed to have corresponded with him particularly frequently, and every time she would ask for his coordinates quietly. The more

Wen Jiadong thought about it, the more he felt that Wen Jiaxin was involved in the incident. He bent down and hugged his head and said, "I'm too stupid. I always thought that although we are from different mothers, we are siblings with blood relationship after all. I never guarded against her..."

"Jiadong..."

It is impossible to say that Wen Jiadong is not to blame at all. She has always treasured this son and has instilled in him the idea of ​​staying away from the other three houses.

But he never believed it, and now he has fallen into the trap.

But now that things have come to this, it is useless for her to blame Wen Jiadong. She can only hate Wen Jiaxin for her vicious heart. As expected, she has bad intentions just like her mother, and she tries to comfort Wen Jiadong.

But her comfort has no effect. The more Wen Jiadong thinks about it, the more regretful he feels. He can't help but lower his head and roar, hammering the tea table with his hands, but he seems to feel no pain.

Seeing him hurt himself like this, Chen Baoqin was so scared that her face changed color. She hurriedly grabbed his arm to stop his action and said, "Jiadong, don't do this, don't scare Mommy!"

"I feel bad!" Wen Jiadong cried, "Yesterday I was still thinking that Xu Meifeng's death would be fine, but today... Wen Jiaxin! I will never let her go!"

Dealing with Wen Jiaxin is not as easy as dealing with Xu Meifeng.

Although Xu Meifeng has parents, her whole family is able to rise to prosper thanks to her. But even so, there is no capable person in that family, and they are all heartless and ungrateful.

Xu Meifeng had helped them a lot before, but after she went to prison, no one from that family came out to help, including her parents.

Not to mention Wen Rongsheng's attitude, Wen Jiaxin, his daughter, was also unreliable, so Xu Meifeng's death was just death, and it didn't cause any waves at all.

That's not right. After the news came out, there might be newspapers following up on it, but the media wouldn't delve into it, so after the limelight passed, the matter would be officially over.

Wen Jiaxin was different. Although Wen Rongsheng favored boys over girls, he didn't care about his son and didn't care about his daughter's life or death.

If Wen Jiaxin died and the truth was unknown, Wen Rongsheng would definitely not let it go, but would let the police conduct a thorough investigation. It would be fine if the police didn't find out anything, but if they did, they might also go to prison.

They could also surrender to Wen Rongsheng after killing Wen Jiaxin. The dead are gone, and with Wen Rongsheng's character, he might choose to save the living.

But this does not mean that the matter is over. People like Wen Rongsheng will not keep the source of danger around them.

He must think that if they and his son can kill Wen Jiaxin today to avenge her, who knows if they will not kill him for the Wen family's property tomorrow.

By then, the guilt he has for Wen Jiadong because of Xu Meifeng's actions will no longer exist. He will send him away, and it is unknown whether he will leave any property to him in the future.

As for Chen Baoqin, he may be even more cruel and send her to prison.

In addition, it is much more difficult to kill Wen Jiaxin than to kill Xu Meifeng.

Xu Meifeng's activities were fixed after she was imprisoned. She was already over 50 years old and had been pampered for so many years. She was not as good at fighting as most female prisoners in prison.

If you want to kill her, just spend money.

Although Wen Jiaxin was not like Wen Yue, who always brought a dozen bodyguards with her when she went out, and had people around her for a long time, it was not easy to attack her without her noticing.

If things went wrong, both mother and son would have to go to jail.

Wen Jiadong obviously realized this, and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I can't kill her, I won't let her have an easy life!"

After saying this, he quickly came up with an idea, "I'm going to give this letter to Daddy and ask him to remove her from the will! She plotted against me behind my back, wasn't it just for the inheritance? Then I'm going to make sure she gets nothing!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen Baoqin felt that the result might not be as expected, but seeing that Wen Jiadong seemed to think this was a good idea and was getting more and more excited, she didn't say anything to discourage him.

In addition, remembering that Wen Jiaqi had only said one harsh word in front of Wen Rongsheng before, he drove her out of the house and said he would sever ties with her and remove her from the will, Chen Baoqin didn't want to persuade Wen Jiadong anymore. She

even thought that if Wen Rongsheng didn't remove Wen Jiaxin from the list after reading the letter, she would never let it go!

...

Although she had decided to file a complaint, Chen Baoqin and her son did not act rashly, nor did they plan to tell Wen Rongsheng about this in private.

If they told him, he would definitely go to Wen Jiaxin to confirm it, and he might even confirm it behind their backs. Wen Jiaxin is as scheming as her mother, and she will definitely not admit it easily, and she will be able to make excuses for herself.

If Wen Rongsheng believed it, he might suppress the matter before they could react.

In addition, Chen Baoqin always felt that the appearance of this letter was very strange. Even she only confirmed the existence of such a letter after she received the letter and confronted Lu Juan's brother.

If the letter was really swapped, who was so capable and better informed than her, the murderer?

Although Chen Baoqin didn't know who it was, she could vaguely guess.

There were only a few people who hated the mother and daughter of the third room. If it was Wen Rongsheng who did it, he would definitely not send the letter to her son. It couldn't have been her son or daughter who did it. If they received the letter, they would definitely tell her about it a long time ago.

By the process of elimination, the person behind the scenes could only be Wen Yue.

Thinking of this, Chen Baoqin finally realized that she was probably used by Wen Yue. Before, Wen Yue acted as if she didn't care about Xu Meifeng's life or death, probably because she saw her urgency.

Fortunately, she was very careful. When she met Lu Juan and her brother, she chose a hotel far from the island. She also staggered the time of entering and leaving. She also checked before entering the private room. There was no video camera or recorder.

After making sure that no one would catch her, Chen Baoqin began to think about why Wen Yue did these things if she was the one behind the scenes?

To avenge Xu Meifeng and anger Wen Jiaxin? Possible.

To make them kill each other for the inheritance? Possible.

After thinking it through, Chen Baoqin felt that she couldn't let Wen Yue stand on the shore all the time, and she had to drag her in!

So that night, Chen Baoqin pretended to be casual and said to Wen Rongsheng: "Haven't Ah Yue and his wife come back for dinner for a long time?"

Wen Rongsheng was a little puzzled as to why Chen Baoqin suddenly brought this up, but he didn't doubt it. He thought about it seriously and said: "Yi Huai hasn't come for a while." The last time Wen Yue came back for dinner, Yi Huai was on a business trip.

"Do you want to ask them to come back for dinner in the next few days?" Chen Baoqin asked.

"Okay."

"Which day?"

Wen Rongsheng thought for a moment and said, "Saturday, they can come earlier."

"Okay." Chen Baoqin scooped up the soup with a spoon, blew it and said, "Should we call Jiaxin back on Saturday?"

Wen Rongsheng stopped eating and reflexively looked up at Wen Jiadong. The latter noticed his action, forced a stiff smile and said, "I have no objection."

Chen Baoqin continued, "Although I hate Xu Meifeng very much, but as you said, when a person dies, his debts are written off. After all, Jiaxin has the blood of the Wen family in her body. It doesn't seem good to leave out everyone else when they come back for dinner."

These words convinced Wen Rongsheng. He took a bite of the food and said, "I'll call her."

...

On Saturday evening, as soon as Wen Yue and Yi Huai entered the Wen family's living room, they saw Wen Jiaqi sneering at Wen Jiaxin.

This is considered a regular show in the Wen family. After Wen Jiaxin came back last year, Wen Yue could see the two fighting every time she came to the Wen family. It was not until Xu Meifeng fell and Wen Jiaxin moved out of the house that the show disappeared.

But seeing this scene today, Wen Yue was not surprised. She had already learned who would attend the dinner tonight through the system and Wen Rongsheng's phone call.

It was rare to see Wen Jiaxin, and it would be strange if Wen Jiaqi didn't make sarcastic remarks with her personality.

But the situation is different this year. Although the debts are written off when someone dies, no matter what Wen Jiaxin thinks in her heart, she is inferior to the first and second wives.

So in the face of Wen Jiaqi's sarcasm, she just pursed her lips and endured it, and didn't respond.

Wen Jiaqi despised Wen Jiaxin's state the most, and suddenly she became even more angry, not even caring about Wen Yue and Yi Huai coming in.

Wen Yue didn't mean to disturb them, and directly asked the housekeeper when the meal would be served. After learning that the meal was ready, she went to the restaurant.

After the two of them, others also came to the restaurant one after another to eat.

Wen Jiaqi attacked Wen Jiaxin behind her back, but in front of Wen Rongsheng, she was more honest than anyone else, so the first ten minutes of the meal looked very happy. In

the eleventh minute, Wen Rongsheng began to talk about the truth, and the theme revolved around the fact that one stroke cannot write two words "Wen", and a harmonious family brings prosperity.

Before he could finish, Chen Baoqin started to get angry. She took out a folded letter from her pocket, opened it, slapped it on the dining table and said, "Rongsheng, you are right. One stroke of the pen really cannot express two words of warmth. Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper. But now it's not that we don't want to live in harmony, but some people are really going too far!"

Chen Baoqin's words attracted the attention of everyone at the table, but everyone reacted differently.

Among the three who were unaware, Wen Rongsheng frowned, Wen Jiaxin looked calm but panicked, and Wen Jiaqi followed Chen Baoqin's gaze and looked at Wen Jiaxin. She was first surprised, then excited, and then asked anxiously: "Mommy, what do you mean? Did Jiaxin do something we don't know about?"

Wen Jiaxin scolded Wen Jiaqi in her heart, but pretended to be pitiful on the surface: "I don't know what you are talking about. I obviously didn't do anything!"

"You dare to say you didn't do anything again?" Chen Baoqin slammed the table and pointed at Wen Jiaxin and asked, "Do you dare to say that you didn't conspire with Xu Meifeng, that bitch, to drug Jiadong?!"
