Chapter 107 "Father and Son" Recognize Each
Other It is not only the fake Wen Kai who looks at Wen Yue eagerly, but also the other people from the second and third rooms. However, the eyes of those people are basically full of happiness and joy at Wen Yue's situation.
Wen Jiaxin has lost the opportunity to inherit Lirong's shares, and it is obviously impossible for her to become the heir. Wen Jiadong was kicked out of the competition for succession when he lost his fertility.
Wen Jiaqi is a fool, needless to say, unless Wen Rongsheng is crazy, she can't inherit the Wen family.
The only ones left who have the opportunity to compete for the position of heir are Wen Yue and Wen Jiayi, but the latter has a mother in prison like Wen Jiaxin, and is still studying, so it is hard to see her ability.
Although Wen Yue has been in Lirong Department Store for a short time, she has managed the company very well. Nowadays, when people talk about shopping malls, they will definitely mention Lirong.
So it is almost certain that she will inherit the Wen family.
But now, a Cheng William who is suspected to be Wen Kai suddenly appeared.
Before Wen Yue came, they asked about Cheng William's situation. Although he did not study economics, his resume is not bad. He went to an Ivy League school in college, and after graduation, he joined a well-known construction company. Now he is an architect who can design independently.
Compared with Wen Yue, he has the biggest advantage - he is male.
Although Wen Rongsheng can be said to rely on Wen Yue, everyone knows that he has no choice in the source of this reliance. Just like a dog can't change its eating habits, the people of the Wen family don't really think that Wen Rongsheng can change his preference for boys over girls.
If Cheng William is a piece of rubbish, it's fine. With his resume, as long as he performs well and is confirmed to be Wen Kai, Wen Yue's position as the heir will be hanging in the balance.
After finally defeating all of them and becoming the most likely person to inherit the Wen family, she now has to retreat to the second line because of her gender. Can Wen Yue be willing?
What's more troublesome is that she and Wen Kai are siblings. In the past, she has reaped a lot of benefits from this (the second and third wives think so). Even if she has ideas in her heart, she can't fight Cheng William openly, otherwise it will be bad to fall into Wen Rongsheng's eyes.
Therefore, everyone's eagerness at this moment was also hiding a bit of the desire to watch the show.
They thought that no matter how depressed Wen Yue was in her heart, she would definitely not look too cold, but... the reality seemed to be different from what they imagined?
Wen Yue didn't even look at Cheng William, and asked Butler Zhong directly: "When is the meal?"
"I'll go ask the sir." After saying this, Butler Zhong turned and walked towards Wen Rongsheng's study.
Two minutes later, she came back to inform everyone that the meal was ready.
The group went to the restaurant.
When there were too many people eating, it was not easy to arrange the seats. Cheng William came to the Wen family with Wen Rongzhi. Originally, the two were going to sit together, but Wen Jiadong was unwilling to sit side by side with Wen Jiaxin.
After a while of wrangling, Wen Rongzhi, Yi Huai, Wen Yue and Wen Jiaxin finally sat in a row, and Cheng William went to the opposite side and sat with Wen Jiadong.
After finally sitting down, before starting the meal, Wen Rongzi asked, "Has Ah Yue greeted William?"
"Yes," Cheng William said, looking at Wen Yue eagerly again.
Wen Rongzhi smiled and said, "It's good that you greeted each other. You might be biological siblings, so you should have a good relationship."
"Since you're not sure, wait until the paternity test results come out, then you can tell me these things." Wen Yue glanced at Wen Rongzhi, "Or are you saying that aunt is sure that the paternity test results are as you expected?"
Wen Rongzhi's smile froze, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Ah Yue, you've become a sharp talker."
"I'm just pointing out the facts," Wen Yue said, spreading her hands, "I can't help it if you don't like it, Aunt."
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." Wen Rongzhi chose to give in, and sighed, "I thought you were Ah Kai's biological sister, and you would be happy to see him back."
"Of course I'm happy that my second brother is back, but the premise is that he's the real second brother." Wen Yue said to Wen Rongsheng, "Daddy, don't you agree?"
Wen Rongsheng frowned, thinking that what Wen Yue said made sense, but also that she was too aggressive. After all, Wen Rongzhi was his biological sister and her biological aunt. Thinking of
this, Wen Rongsheng did not answer Wen Yue, but only said: "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
Wen Yue shrugged and glanced at Wen Rongzhi, meaning that you spoke first.
Wen Rongzhi held her breath and clenched her chopsticks slightly.
The system said cheerfully in Wen Yue's mind: [She is going to be mad. ]
[It can be seen that she has never been criticized by anyone. ] Wen Yue commented, remembering that the system prompts had just rang twice, and asked, [Does she have a melon on her body? ]
[Yes, this fake Wen Kai was found by her! 】
【You can just say Cheng William. 】
The system made two "oh" sounds: 【She told Wen Rongsheng that she had just met Cheng William some time ago, but that was not the case at all. They have known each other for more than a year. 】
Wen Yue was surprised: 【More than a year? Is this the reason why she hasn't been back to Hong Kong for more than a year? 】
【Almost. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with her health. 】
Wen Yue raised her head and glanced at Cheng William, and saw that he was concentrating on eating. Both his sitting posture and manners were excellent. He either had good family education or had undergone strict training.
Wen Yue thought it might be the latter.
In addition, Wen Yue noticed that Cheng William's double eyelids were not quite right, and his nose was a little inconsistent with the overall facial features. The color of the junction between the nose wing and the facial skin was lighter than other parts.
If Wen Yue was a person of this era, she might not have any doubts, but she lived in an era of information explosion and entertainment prosperity for the first 22 years of her life.
Before she traveled through time, plastic surgery was a very common thing.
Not only celebrities and internet celebrities had plastic surgery, but people around her also had plastic surgery, but not so many parts were done. Usually they just cut double eyelids, and if they felt it was not enough, they would have a nose augmentation.
Although women who choose plastic surgery usually love beauty and usually put on makeup when going out, Wen Yue has seen several people who have had plastic surgery without makeup. Some
people always say that people with plastic surgery are not presentable without makeup, but in fact, it is not true. She has seen people who have had plastic surgery, and it is difficult to tell that they have had plastic surgery even without makeup.
Of course, if you look closely at their faces to find traces of surgery on their faces, you can indeed find some. After all , no matter how advanced the plastic surgery technology is, and no matter how skilled the doctors are, it is inevitable that micro-injuries will leave scars.
In addition, the facial features of a person are a whole, and if one of them changes, the whole will inevitably look less harmonious. This is also the main reason why many people are addicted to plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery technology 30 years later cannot avoid leaving scars and the problem of overall disharmony, let alone now in the mid-1990s.
From the perspective of Wen Yue, a future person, Cheng William had at least two parts of his face moved, the eyelids and the nose.
It is easy to understand why these two parts had to be moved. The Wen family all have big double eyelids, including Wen Kai who has been missing until now. Cheng William either has single eyelids or his eyes are not that deep, so he needs to move them.
In addition to the eyes, the part of Cheng William's face that is most like Wen Rongsheng is his nose.
Obviously, he can be 70% similar to Wen Rongsheng, largely because of these two facial features that have been reshaped. Excluding these two, he and Wen Rongsheng are considered to be 30% similar.
Wen Yue asked: [Wen Rongzhi brought him back more than a year later, is it for plastic surgery? ]
[! ! ! Host, how do you know? ! ]
[It can be seen that the upper and lower curvatures of his double eyelids are exactly the same, and it can be seen that they are artificially opened. The nose is also a little high. Has it been augmented? 】
【That's right! 】 The system said excitedly, 【Originally, Wen Rongzhi was going to have him cut his mandible, but after learning more about it, she found it was too dangerous and she might have to die on the operating table, so she gave up. 】
Hearing this, Wen Yue looked up at Cheng William, then glanced at Wen Rongsheng, and found that the former's mandible was indeed wider than the latter's.
【Besides these? What else did Wen Rongzhi do? 】
【She got Cheng William into a well-known American architectural firm, and introduced him to several orders, packaging him as a promising young man. 】
【Wait, he's in his thirties, right? He just joined the law firm last year? 】 Wen Yue asked, 【Is it true that he graduated from an Ivy League school? 】
【He was admitted to a community college and did study architecture, but he became addicted to gambling during college, skipped classes many times, and dropped out. After graduation, he has been living on odd jobs and has never been an architectural designer. The orders that Wen Rongzhi introduced to him were designed by other people. 】 Of
course, lying that Cheng William graduated from an Ivy League school is risky, but the United States is so far away from Hong Kong, and it will definitely take a lot of time for Wen Rongsheng to find someone to check.
In addition, Wen Rongzhi has been in the United States for more than 20 years, and it is considered her base there. As long as Wen Rongsheng believes in her, it will be easy for her to find someone to do something.
Even if they didn't do anything, they could still convince Wen Rongsheng that this was his son. Even if the truth was exposed in the future, there would be no problem. They could just lie and say that he had excellent grades and didn't have the resources to go to a prestigious school.
So for William Cheng, graduating from an Ivy League school was just a stepping stone. He was good enough, so Wen Rongsheng would be more likely to trust him instead of being suspicious of him from the beginning.
After figuring it out, Wen Yue continued to ask: [Why did Wen Rongzhi do these things?]
In fact, Wen Yue could guess the general reason. Wen Rongzhi did so much just for the 10 billion family property under Wen Rongsheng's name.
But they are not just siblings. Wen Rongzhi can be said to have been raised by Wen Rongsheng.
Although Wen Rongzhi had grown up when his mother died, his mother was weak in character and had no ability to support the family, so he supported the family before his father died. After his father died, the burden of supporting the family fell on Wen Rongsheng, who was in his early twenties.
To Wen Rongzhi, Wen Rongsheng can really be said to be an elder brother who is like a father.
Moreover, Wen Rongzhi married well. The Fu family is a famous family in Hong Kong. After going to the United States, she has developed well. Although the assets of the Fu family are not as good as those of the Wen family today, Wen Rongzhi should not be short of money.
Wen Rongzhi ignored the past friendship and calculated Wen Rongsheng. It was really a bit ungrateful.
But the system said: [Wen Rongzhi is short of money.]
[Huh? 】
【Although the Fu family is rich, it is the eldest son of the Fu family who inherited the Fu family. Wen Rongzhi's husband is the second son and does not have many shares. He has a lot of real estate and cash. However, he does not know how to do business and always wants to make a career. After so many years of hard work, the couple does not have much money, and Wen Rongzhi's son is also a spendthrift. 】
Wen Yue thought that she felt that Wen Rongzhi's husband was also a spendthrift. If you don't have the diamond, don't do the porcelain work. No wonder it is said that the second generation of rich people should not start a business.
Although Wen Rongzhi's husband is not the eldest son, the Fu family is rich. With shares, cash and real estate, he has a net worth of hundreds of millions after the division of the family.
Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, converted into US dollars, is a huge sum of money. As long as the average person does not have bad habits, he can spend it all with his eyes closed. Fu Ershao is fine, his business has almost lost all its money.
Wen Yue did ask: [What did Wen Rongzhi's son do? ]
The system replied: [He was involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs. ]
Wen Yue understood and asked again: [Wen Rongsheng doesn't know Wen Rongzhi's financial situation? I remember that she has real estate in Hong Kong? ]
Why does Wen Rongsheng trust Wen Rongzhi so much?
It must not be just because he blindly believes that his own sister who he raised would not cheat him. You know, when people are desperate, they can do anything.
Xu Meifeng and Wen Jiaxin are still mother and daughter, can't they be unreliable at critical moments?
Wen Yue felt that Wen Rongsheng trusted her so much, probably because he didn't know that her financial situation was so bad.
Sure enough, the system said: [She probably doesn't know. Wen Rongzhi wants to save face and doesn't want others to know that she is almost poor. They dealt with their properties in Hong Kong a few years ago, on the grounds that they didn't plan to come back and were going to buy properties in the United States.]
In the end, of course, they didn't buy a house in the United States, and all the money was used to fill the hole.
Wen Yue clicked her tongue and said: [Wen Rongzhi is loyal to her husband.]
Wen Rongsheng married into the Fu family as a wealthy man. In order to prevent her from being looked down upon, Wen Rongsheng prepared a lot of dowry for her, most of which was real estate.
Wen Rongzhi got married in the mid-1960s. At that time, many places in Hong Kong were not developed and the house prices were not that high. Therefore, the real estates that Wen Rongsheng prepared for her were in good locations and the house prices had increased several times.
Not to mention, those houses can earn at least hundreds of millions if they are sold now.
But Wen Rongzhi was good. After selling the houses, she used all the money to fill the holes made by her husband. When she couldn't make ends meet, she came to cheat her brother.
Of course, Wen Rongsheng didn't have any true feelings for Peng Lifen who was devoted to him, and now it was her sister who was raised by him with all her heart that deserved to be cheated.
With this idea in mind, Wen Yue didn't expose the conspiracy of Wen Rongzhi and Cheng William on the spot, and was ready to see the excitement.
...
After dinner, Wen Rongzhi naturally stayed overnight.
Cheng William did not stay, and was sent to a five-star hotel by a driver arranged by Wen Rongsheng.
In order to show that the two had no connection, Wen Rongzhi did not find a chance to chat with Cheng William until he left. But this was on the surface. It was the 1990s, and there were many ways to contact privately. Before
Wen Yue went to sleep, the system sent a message: [Wen Rongzhi is calling Cheng William. ]
[What is the call? ]
The Wen family certainly has telephones, but except for Wen Rongsheng's room and study, the telephones in other places are connected, which means that if a call is made in one room, it can be heard in other rooms.
Wen Rongzhi is naturally not stupid enough to use the Wen family's phone to discuss conspiracies.
As for the mobile phone she brought back from the United States, it cannot be used in Hong Kong. Thirty years later, international roaming is required for overseas travel, not to mention this era.
Obviously Wen Rongzhi has taken these situations into consideration, and the system said: [She prepared two local Hong Kong mobile phones in advance. ]
[Didn't she arrive in Hong Kong today? ]
[Yes. 】The system said while paying attention to the conversation between Wen Rongzhi and Cheng William, [Wen Rongzhi prepared two strands of Wen Jiadong's hair, and agreed to meet in the stairwell tomorrow if he coughed twice, and go to the toilet if he coughed three times, and she would hand the hair to Cheng William. 】
Two gathering points were set up because many hospitals in Hong Kong are old-style Western buildings. Although elevators have been installed in recent years, there are still many people walking on the stairs, making it inconvenient to meet.
They were not sure which hospital Wen Rongsheng would go to for the paternity test, so Wen Rongzhi asked someone to go to the hospital in advance and drew the internal floor plan of the hospital in Hong Kong that could do paternity tests.
[She really took great pains to trick Wen Rongsheng. ]
Wen Yue couldn't help but sigh, and asked: [When and through what means did she get Wen Jiadong's hair? 】
【I got it two days ago. 】 The system coughed twice and said, 【He asked someone to rape Wen Jiadong. 】
Wen Yue: 【……】
Ever since he lost his inheritance rights, Wen Jiadong has completely stopped pretending. Changing boyfriends is just like changing clothes, and he is often photographed by reporters.
Now if you want to know what kind of man he likes, you don’t have to ask anyone specifically, just buy a few entertainment newspapers that expose his love affairs and you will know.
So after listening to the system’s explanation, Wen Yue was not surprised, but a little speechless. Others learn from their mistakes, but Wen Rongsheng learns from them again and again.
It’s no wonder that he has been cheated by men again and again.
He asked in confusion: 【Wen Rongzhi is spending so much effort, are you sure you can get the money? Wen Rongzhi
spent so much effort, and what she wanted was obviously not just a few tens of millions of thank-you fees, but Wen Rongsheng's hundreds of billions of assets.
But there is a problem. Even if the paternity test confirms that Cheng William is Wen Kai, Wen Rongsheng decides to let him inherit the Wen family, and he is the one who gets the shares.
Moreover, the rich are very smart. They will not divide up their family property while they are alive. The big head will definitely be saved before they die. So even if Cheng William succeeds in impersonation, he will not get much money while Wen Rong is alive.
Now Cheng William is just a poor guy with nothing. He relies on Wen Rongzhi to impersonate Wen Kai and change his name, so naturally he lets her do whatever she wants.
But when Wen Rongsheng dies, he will inherit the Wen family, and the strength between the two will definitely reverse. It is hard to say whether Cheng William is willing to obey at that time.
[Wen Rongzhi has leverage over Cheng William, including his plastic surgery data and all his past information. In addition, they signed a share transfer contract with an empty date.]
The contract was signed in the name of Wen Kai, and it was agreed that the 30% of Lirong Group shares he inherited would be transferred to Wen Rongzhi unconditionally.
Wen Rongsheng owns more than 30% of Lirong Group shares, but he has many children, and Wen Rongzhi is not sure how he will divide the property. He can only estimate a rough number, lest the contract stipulates that the shares are less than what Cheng William inherited, and the contract is declared invalid.
Anyway, if Wen Kai inherits more than 30%, the excess will be given to him as hard work fee, so as to avoid him turning against her when he is pushed too far.
The contract date was left blank because they were not sure when Wen Rongsheng would die. If they filled in the date now, if they made a mistake in their estimate, the contract might become a waste paper.
It can be said that regardless of whether there would be problems in the subsequent performance of the contract, Wen Rongzhi and Cheng William took all aspects into consideration when signing the contract.
After discussing the course of action for tomorrow, the two ended the call.
After breakfast the next morning, Wen Rongsheng and Wen Rongzhi went out together, picked up Wen Kai from the hotel, and went to the hospital for the paternity test.
The hospital was one of the ones that Wen Rongzhi had sent people to check out. This hospital had a staircase, so Wen Rongzhi and Cheng William met in the staircase.
Fearing that Cheng William would not be careful enough, Wen Rongzhi only gave Cheng William a strand of hair.
Fortunately, the process went smoothly. Cheng William successfully switched the hair of Wen Jiadong in front of Wen Rongsheng.
It would take at least a week for ordinary people to do the paternity test, but Wen Rongsheng was rich and enjoyed special treatment. He got the result of the paternity test that afternoon.
As expected, the report concluded that the two were biological father and son.
The moment he saw the line of words in the result, Wen Rongsheng's nose was sore and his eyes gradually blurred.
Him! Wen Rongsheng, finally has a son!
No, it should be him who finally found his son!
Seeing that Wen Rongsheng didn't speak for a long time, Wen Rongzhi couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and asked tentatively: "Brother, how are the test results?"
Wen Rongsheng raised his head in a gentle voice, glanced at Wen Rongzhi first, and said nothing.
Then he looked at Cheng William, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied his expression became. Half a minute later, he finally smiled, opened his arms and said, "We are father and son."
Understanding what Wen Rongsheng meant, Cheng William took two steps forward, hugged him and said, "Daddy!" Wen Rongsheng
answered loudly, "Daddy is here!"
Wen Rongzhi covered her mouth with emotion, and said with tears in her eyes, "Great! This is really great!"
...
Yesterday, Wen Rongsheng was not sure about Cheng William's identity, so he let him stay in a five-star hotel. Today, when the result came out, he naturally took him home directly and asked the housekeeper to arrange a room with a good orientation for him.
In fact, the room where Wen Kai lived before he disappeared is still there, and housekeeper Xu still arranges people to clean it every day.
But that room was where Wen Kai lived when he was a child. Both the decoration and the furniture were a bit old, and the style was not suitable for adults. Wen Rongsheng certainly didn't want to wrong Cheng William, the "son" he had just found.
After arranging these, Wen Rongsheng called Wen Yue and others to go home for dinner, and announced two things during dinner:
First, he planned to take Cheng William back to the old house to worship his ancestors tomorrow, let him formally recognize his ancestors, and hold a banquet to announce the return of "Wen Kai" to others;
second, he planned to let Wen Kai work in the Lirong headquarters and learn from him. Recognizing ancestors and returning to one's ancestral home
is easy to say, since Cheng William is really Wen Kai, he must recognize his ancestors and change his name. But after Wen Rongsheng announced the second thing, at least half of the people in the restaurant froze.
The one with the ugliest expression among them was Wen Jiadong.
Although he joined the company headquarters after graduating from university, his treatment was not as good as Cheng William. His position at that time was not high, and he could only be regarded as a middle-level leader.
Moreover, until his sexual orientation was exposed, he had not been promoted much, and he had no chance to receive personal instruction from Wen Rongsheng.
Unlike Cheng William, he got the opportunity he had always dreamed of as soon as he came back.
Wen Jiaxin had similar thoughts. She recalled that when she had just returned to Hong Kong, Wen Rongsheng only agreed to let her join the subsidiary company, which was fine,
but he didn't even arrange a formal position for her. Although she knew that Wen Rongsheng favored boys over girls, the difference was too big.
Not to mention Wen Jiaxin, who couldn't even enter the Lirong Group, she was so jealous and envious.
Chen Baoqin couldn't help but feel jealous, thinking that her son was the eldest grandson of the Wen family, but in Wen Rongsheng's heart, he was not as good as Wen Kai, the son of the first wife.
Although several people were upset, they were very calm and looked at Wen Yue very tacitly, rubbing their hands and waiting for her reaction.
Yi Huai saw it and put his hand on Wen Yue's hand as a comfort.
Wen Yue was very calm, patted the back of his hand gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, I suggest that the banquet be larger, and it would be best to invite all the famous families in Hong Kong. This is a big happy event for the Wen family, and we can't be accused of being petty."
Hearing Wen Yue's words, not only the people from the second and third rooms were shocked, but Wen Rongsheng was also a little surprised.
If Wen Kai had returned a year earlier, he would not have thought that Wen Yue had any thoughts in her mind, but the frequent contact this year was enough for him to understand her ambitions.
So after learning that Jin Shiting had returned safely and making up his mind to intensify his efforts to find Wen Kai, Wen Rongsheng was most worried about Wen Yue, and he even tested her for this purpose.
He was very satisfied with the result of that test, but Wen Yue's performance yesterday did not quite match the result of that test, which made it difficult to believe that she sincerely welcomed Wen Kai back.
He knew that his daughter was capable, so he was also particularly wary of her. In order to avoid complications, he decided to let Cheng William recognize his ancestors as soon as possible.
Because of this, when he heard Wen Yue's words, Wen Rongsheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Did he suspect her wrongly? Maybe Wen Yue is ambitious, but she cares more about brotherhood?
Wen Rongsheng smiled sincerely: "Okay, let's do as you say."
Wen Yue: "Haha."
