Chapter 116 Equity

If it was before, Wen Rongsheng would definitely feel very unfair, thinking, what can you blame me for? I provide you with food, clothes and college education, isn't that good for you?

But thinking of Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin who killed him, Wen Rongsheng felt that there was no need to ask any more questions.

He closed his eyes and was quiet for a long time, until Wen Yue thought he was asleep or fainted again, and was about to get up to find a doctor, then he asked: "A Yue, if I let you go back to Lirong now, are you willing?"

Wen Yue stopped and looked back at the person lying on the bed.

He still closed his eyes, but from the tight lips, it can be seen that he is not calm at the moment.

This is of course.

Lirong was founded by Wen Rongsheng and developed little by little in his hands. It can be said that it is the hard work of most of his life. If he is healthy, he will never be willing to hand over Lirong to others, even if this person is his own child.

Wen Yue said before that she would never get trust from him and accused him of partiality, but in fact they all knew that he was not partial to a certain child, he was jealous of her.

In the feudal dynasty, the earlier the prince was appointed, the more difficult it was to ascend to a high position.

Maybe when they were canonized as princes, their fathers loved them, but as they grew up day by day and the emperor grew older, this love would slowly turn into defense and jealousy.

Wen Rongsheng is not an emperor of a feudal dynasty, but he is equally power-hungry. In recent years, he has been the one who has the final say in Lirong. No matter how much the shareholders think, they only dare to do small things behind the scenes, and they only submit to him on the surface.

So Wen Rongsheng wants an excellent successor, but he is also worried that this successor will compete with him for power.

Wen Jiadong has been working in the headquarters of Lirong for nearly ten years, but his position is still not high. In addition to his lack of ability, part of the reason is that Wen Rongsheng is wary of him and is unwilling to promote him.

If Wen Yue had joined the headquarters or invested in a real estate company, she might not have emerged so quickly, but she joined Lirong Department Store.

Department stores are a bit special within Lirong. On the one hand, Wen Rongsheng made his fortune with them.

On the other hand, due to various reasons, when Wen Yue entered the department store, its development was stagnant and it was at the stage of eating up the mountain and running out of resources. It was no longer valued in the company. If it continued like this, the result waiting for Lirong Department Store would be either being laid off or being sold.

Wen Yue quickly achieved results after entering Lirong Department Store, so Wen Rongsheng gave her a chance.

She seized the opportunity, grew rapidly, and soon won over the employees of the company, and even the shareholders trusted her very much. Wen Rongsheng did not publicly say that he would let her inherit the Wen family, but everyone regarded her as his successor.

Wen Rongsheng's thoughts began to conflict. On the one hand, he was happy to have an heir, but on the other hand, he felt threatened because he was only in his early sixties and he felt that he could live another ten or twenty years, and he did not want to retire so early.

Wen Rongsheng did not do anything to Wen Yue, because although he did not want to retire so early, he was already over sixty and did need an excellent successor.

The two reasons are contradictory, but this is also where Wen Rongsheng is entangled. For this reason, when he looks at Wen Yue's behavior, he always scrutinizes it more than other people.

Wen Rongsheng was never afraid that Wen Yue would know his thoughts, and he never thought that she would expose him directly, so he was so angry when he was exposed last time.

Even though she still took his face into consideration and did not say it out loud.

It's like Wen Rongsheng knew that Wen Yue was not wrong, but still wanted her to bow her head. If he was still in good health, Wen Rongsheng would never ask this question.

Because this is not only an invitation, but also a sign of weakness.

In this tug-of-war, Wen Yue won in the end.

Considering the timing of Wen Rongsheng's words, it is obvious why he asked Wen Yue to return to Lirong. First, he wanted her to stabilize the situation, and second, he was worried that he didn't have much time left.

So when Wen Yue returns to Lirong this time, her position will definitely not be low. She must be at least the group president, or even the acting chairman. Even the president position of a subsidiary like Lirong Department Store is not enough.

With such good conditions, if it were someone else, they would definitely agree without hesitation, because after nodding, as long as there is no major change in the future, she will basically be the only one in charge of Lirong.

But Wen Yue was not overwhelmed by joy, and she was not going to give in because of Wen Rongsheng's weakness. She said, "If I go back to Lirong, I will definitely control it."

What does it take to control a company? A high enough position? Strong enough ability?

None of them, it's equity.

Wen Rongsheng suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, which had become cloudy due to poisoning and illness, were amazingly bright, and his gaze towards Wen Yue was also amazingly sharp.

At this moment, except for his pale face, he didn't look sick at all.

Wen Yue looked back fearlessly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After that, without waiting for Wen Rongsheng to speak, he opened the door and walked out.

...

Wen Yue's sudden arrival made Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiaqi worried, but they soon found that they were worrying too much. Wen Yue's arrival did not change anything.

She still came and went in a hurry, and disappeared as soon as she left. It was obvious that she had not changed her mind to bow to Wen Rongsheng.

Wen Rongsheng was still unwilling to talk about her. When Chen Baoqin tried to test him, he frowned and asked her to change the subject, or said that he wanted to rest.

Chen Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wen Jiaqi to perform well in front of her father.

Although Chen Baoqin felt that the hope of her two children inheriting the Wen family was very slim, Wen Jiadong, needless to say, was going to kill Wen Rongsheng. How could he leave his property to this son.

Although Wen Jiaqi was used, she personally cooked the poisoned syrup, served it to Wen Rongsheng, and watched him drink it.

Wen Rongsheng must have felt uncomfortable.

But Chen Baoqin thought about it and felt that her two children had little hope, and the two sisters in the third room were almost the same.

Needless to say, Wen Jiaxin was very likely the murderer behind the scenes. Her nature was the same as Wen Jiadong. If Wen Rongsheng wanted to give up on both of them, he would give up both of them together. Wen Jiayi

...she was far away in the UK and didn't get involved in these things, but she was too young, hadn't graduated from college yet, and her ability was not obvious.

If Wen Rongsheng hadn't been in trouble and could live another five or eight years, she might have had a chance. But the reality is that he was lucky to survive this year, he didn't have time to wait for Wen Jiayi to grow up.

Moreover, when Wen Rongsheng was poisoned and hospitalized, he didn't ask Wen Jiayi to come back, it seemed that he didn't value her.

So when she learned that Wen Rongsheng had asked his assistant to contact Wen Yue to come to the hospital, Chen Baoqin felt that this time, the second and third rooms would probably end up with nothing.

Who would have thought that Wen Yue was so stubborn and didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity.

Chen Baoqin couldn't see through Wen Yue. She always felt that she didn't really regard money as dirt, and she probably had other ideas in her mind.

But what if she knew?

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would always let her children fight for it. Otherwise, what if she really didn't care, what if these hundreds of billions of wealth really fell into the hands of the third room, wouldn't she regret it for the rest of her life?

Before Wen Jiaxin was summoned, Wen Jiaqi didn't dare to have any hope of inheriting the Wen family, but now she felt that everyone made mistakes, which meant that she was right.

After being encouraged by Chen Baoqin, she instantly gained confidence.

But it was difficult for mother and daughter to find opportunities to show off.

Although they stayed in the hospital all day, Wen Rongsheng needed to rest, and had to deal with company matters when he was awake, so most of the time they could not stay in the ward where Wen Rongsheng lived, and could only wait in the living room outside.

When it was time to go to the toilet and eat, there were professional nurses to help, so they were not needed.

Not to mention at night, they could stay overnight, but the small bed in Wen Rongsheng's room had to be reserved for the nurse, and they could only go to the second bedroom. So unless Wen Rongsheng's condition was problematic and a doctor needed to be called, they basically slept until dawn.

They thought that since Wen Yue would not come to the hospital, Wen Jiaxin was arrested, and Wen Jiadong was locked up, Wen Jiaqi would have plenty of time to show her ability. But

the next morning, when Wen Jiaqi had just washed up and left her room, she saw Wen Jiaxin sitting in the living room.

Not only was she sitting in the living room, she had also changed her clothes. Her face was not made up, but it was obvious that she had dressed up and did not look like a slacker who had just been released.

So when she saw her, Wen Jiaqi asked without hesitation: "Weren't you taken away by the police? Why are you here?"

Wen Jiaxin looked calm and said boldly: "Of course I am innocent."

"How is it possible!" Wen Jiaqi raised her voice and asked, "If you are innocent, why did the police say that someone confessed that you provided the poison?!" After asking, she remembered something, "Did you bribe the police to let you go?" The

relationship between the two was not good to begin with. They got along well in the past two days because they each had their own thoughts.

Wen Jiaqi learned that she was framed by Wen Jiadong and saw Chen Baoqin's partiality. She didn't care about the grudges and felt that she helped her at a critical moment, so she approached her.

Wen Jiaxin thought that the second wife's siblings were no longer competitive, so she didn't mind being a good person before Wen Rongsheng changed his will.

Moreover, their harmonious relationship could win Chen Baoqin's heart. When she inherited the Wen family, she could take action against the second wife's mother and son, and maybe she could use Wen Jiaqi.

But their alliance was very fragile, so after Wen Jiaxin was exposed, they quickly became enemies and even fought.

It had only been two days since Wen Jiaxin was beaten up by the second wife's mother and daughter. She still held a grudge in her heart, so she naturally didn't want to pretend. She sneered and said, "Sister, if you have any opinions about the police, you can file a lawsuit against them. It's useless to yell at me."

"What do you mean?" Wen Jiaqi suspected that Wen Jiaxin was scolding her, so she pointed at her and asked, "Say it to me again!"

Wen Jiaxin didn't repeat what she had just said, but only said, "I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you, sister, it doesn't mean that you have a loud voice and what you say is reasonable."

"I'm unreasonable? Your plotting Jiadong to poison daddy makes sense!" Wen Jiaqi sneered, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. You poisoned daddy first, and then pretended to be a good girl in front of him. Even after your true face was exposed, you acted as if nothing had happened. You're just like your cruel and ruthless mother!"

"Wen Jiaqi!" Wen Jiaxin stopped calling her elder sister and glared at Wen Jiaqi and said, "The police didn't even determine that I got the poison. What makes you say that? You say I'm shameless, but don't you have a thick skin? Daddy became like this because you created the opportunity for Wen Jiadong. You are the accomplice in daddy's poisoning!"

Wen Jiaqi's face is indeed not as thick as Wen Jiaxin's. With the same accusation, Wen Jiaxin can pretend to be innocent and clear herself of the matter, but Wen Jiaqi will just rush up to fight out of anger.

Of course, Wen Jiaxin would not passively take a beating, so when Chen Baoqin came out of the second bedroom after washing up, she saw the two of them fighting.

If Wen Jiaqi was fighting with someone else, Chen Baoqin might have tried to stop them, after all, she had to take care of Wen Rongsheng. But when she saw that it was Wen Jiaxin who was fighting with her, trying to stop them became biased.

So Wen Rongsheng was woken up that morning.

Before being hospitalized for poisoning, Wen Rongsheng was annoyed by the quarrels between the sisters, not to mention that now he has to endure the pain of illness, and he has no intention of being a referee.

Seeing that Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiaqi were arguing non-stop after they came in, she directly called the bodyguards to send them back.

The mother and daughter were in disbelief when they heard this, and then they both wailed, but Wen Rongsheng was too lazy to care. Seeing that they refused to leave, he directly ordered the bodyguards to drag them away.

Wen Jiaxin was delighted, but her face still had a pitiful look. She walked into the hospital bed with some expectation and shouted, "Daddy."

Wen Rongsheng looked up when he heard the voice, his eyes fell on Wen Jiaxin's face, full of scrutiny.

He was not surprised that Wen Jiaxin would appear in the hospital, because he knew that she had been released yesterday afternoon.

This is normal. Although there is Chen Dayou's confession, he can't provide strong evidence to prove that he has seen Wen Jiaxin. It has been a while since the incident, and it is difficult for the police to find definite evidence in the short term.

Without sufficient evidence, after the summons time, the police can only release her reluctantly.

But this does not mean that Wen Jiaxin is cleared of suspicion. If the police find new clues in the future, she needs to cooperate with the police at any time to go to the police station for questioning.

Wen Rongsheng would not believe that she was innocent just because she came back, but he wanted to know what she would say, so he did not stop her from coming to the hospital.

Just seeing Wen Jiaxin's expression, Wen Rongsheng knew that it would be difficult for him to hear the truth from her, so he said without waiting for her to speak: "You go back."

"Daddy!"

Wen Jiaxin did not expect Wen Rongsheng to chase her away as soon as he opened his mouth. She showed the same expression as when Wen Jiaqi and her daughter were chased away. Thinking of the reason why she was summoned this time, she quickly explained: "Daddy, I really don't know any Chen Dayou, and I have never given him thallium salt!"

As expected.

Wen Rongsheng smiled bitterly and said to the nurse, "Call the bodyguard over."

"Daddy!" Seeing that it didn't work, Wen Jiaxin shouted even louder, tears streaming down her face, "Daddy, believe me, I really don't know anything. You are my daddy, how could I poison you?"

When Wen Jiaxin was crying, the nurse came in with two bodyguards.

The two had just seen their colleagues dragging away Chen Baoqin and her daughter, so they were familiar with the process. They took Wen Jiaxin's arm and dragged her out.

Before meeting Wen Rongsheng, Wen Jiaxin imagined several scenarios, thinking that he would be angry and not see her, or angrily scold her, or ask her why with great pain...

She had thought of a way to deal with each one. If Wen Rongsheng didn't see her, she would come to the hospital every day to wait for him to see her sincerity.

If it was the latter two possibilities, she would try to explain, or cry bitterly, which would always soften his heart.

But Wen Jiaxin didn't expect that Wen Rongsheng didn't want to listen to her after seeing her, and even asked the bodyguard to send her back, and said that she should not come to the hospital without his notice.

Wen Jiaxin panicked.

She thought, how could this happen? Just because she had a fight with Wen Jiaqi?

She felt that she couldn't leave, so she struggled hard and shouted that she was innocent, but Wen Rongsheng didn't let go until she was dragged into the elevator.

...

After being driven back from the hospital, Wen Jiaqi and Wen Jiaxin didn't give up immediately. They went to the hospital every day, but they couldn't even get to the floor where Wen Rongsheng was.

The three of them were anxious, and Wen Rongsheng knew it but didn't care. After driving them away, he felt unprecedented peace and finally had time to think about the future.

After considering for three days, Wen Rongsheng asked his assistant to contact Wen Yue again. This time, a lawyer also came to the hospital with him.

In front of the lawyer and assistant, Wen Rongsheng let Wen Yue join the Lirong Group as acting chairman on the condition that he would transfer half of the Lirong shares to her.

Wen Rongsheng is the largest shareholder of the Lirong Group. Not counting Wen Yue and Wen Jiadong, the shares held by other shareholders combined are not even half as much as his.

Wen Yue already has 8% of the shares, and with what Wen Rongsheng transferred to her today, she will become the largest shareholder of Lirong overnight. As long as she can stabilize the situation, she will be able to control the company.

As for the remaining shares, Wen Rongsheng did not plan to distribute them during his lifetime. In many cases, property means the right to speak. He has held power all his life, and it is impossible for him to hand over all the power to others until he dies.

Wen Yue knew this, so she decided to stop while she was ahead and agreed to Lirong's request.

After signing the agreement, Wen Rongsheng asked Wen Yue to talk alone.

The content of the conversation was related to his poisoning this time. He looked at Wen Yue and asked, "What do you think I should do with them this time?"

When asking this question, Wen Rongsheng's expression was very calm, and his tone did not reveal any emotion, but from his clenched hands on the thin quilt, it can be seen that he was not so calm in his heart.

This poisoning was a big blow to him.

In fact, although he was angry when he guessed that the person who poisoned him might be Wen Jiaqi, this anger did not come from how could Wen Jiaqi do such a thing? Instead, he did not expect her to be so stupid.

Well, from the beginning, Wen Rongsheng did not think that the person who drugged him would be Wen Jiaqi.

It's not that he believes in her character and thinks she won't do such a thing. After learning that the source of his illness was poisoning, Wen Rongsheng was filled with resentment and was wary of everyone. He felt that everyone wanted to harm him, and he didn't think Wen Jiaqi was an exception.

But Wen Rongsheng felt that with Wen Jiaqi's intelligence and personality, if it was really her who poisoned him, she wouldn't be able to leave any traces.

And he recalled Wen Jiaqi's expression every time he drank the sugar water, and he didn't find any urgency or tension in it.

So Wen Rongsheng felt that she was being used.

He locked her up, firstly because he was angry at her stupidity, being used by others without knowing it, and in the end she couldn't even name a suspicious person; secondly, he wanted to confuse the people behind the scenes, let the other party let down their guard, and wait for the other party to show their true colors.

Wen Rongsheng listed many candidates for the murderer behind the scenes, including shareholders in Lirong who coveted the position of chairman, and his rivals in the business world, but he did not think about his children.

Yes, he knew that Wen Jiadong was cruel and stubborn, and he also knew that Wen Jiaxin was not as simple as she seemed, but as a father, no matter how disappointed he was with them, he was unwilling to believe that they could be so cruel as to kill their father.

The result was disappointing.

Although Wen Jiaxin was only summoned by the police and was soon released, and although she cried out heartbreakingly that she was innocent and had never seen thallium salt after she came back, it was difficult for Wen Rongsheng to believe her again.

In fact, after Wen Jiadong was exposed, it was difficult for Wen Rongsheng to trust the people from the second and third rooms.

Although he had a caregiver, he would not let the caregiver stay in the room all the time. When people from the second and third rooms came to see him, he would often be alone with them.

But when he found out that it was Wen Jiadong who used Wen Jiaqi to poison him, Wen Rongsheng felt a pang of fear in his heart. After that, he never stayed alone with people from the second and third rooms again. He was afraid that he would die a violent death.

Because of this, when Wen Jiaxin was summoned because of her connection with the source of thallium salts, he was not surprised at all. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, as expected...

But Wen Rongsheng couldn't figure it out. Although he was not arrogant enough to believe that he was a competent father, he didn't think he was so bad that anyone could punish him. Why did they all want him dead?

This time, Wen Rongsheng was really disappointed with Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin, and he didn't want to tolerate them anymore.

Wen Rongsheng sincerely thought so, but Wen Yue didn't believe it. If he really didn't want to tolerate them, he would have called the police and handed them over to the police.

But Wen Yue felt that this was an opportunity, and she was willing to give him advice after signing the agreement. Just thinking of his character, she deliberately asked: "I said, can you really have the heart to deal with them?"

Wen Rongsheng did not say yes, nor did he say no. He just turned his head and looked at Wen Yue. Half a minute later, he said: "Tell me what you think."

Seeing that Wen Rongsheng was reserved, Wen Yue also began to beat around the bush and asked: "Why do you think Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin poisoned you?"

Wen Rongsheng's face turned cold: "Why do you think?"

"For money, for power, there are many reasons, but I think the most fundamental reason is that you have been indulging them." Seeing that Wen Rongsheng had something to say, Wen Yue stretched out her hand to stop him, "Don't deny it. Yes, you are not spoiled to them, and you have high expectations for them, but think about it, every time they made a mistake in the past, how did you deal with it?"

Wen Rongsheng frowned and said nothing.

"Every time," Wen Yue emphasized, "every time you chose to make a big deal out of a small matter. Maybe you don't agree with what I said and think you have punished them, but ask yourself, have they really been punished?"

"Wen Jiaqi bailed out Liang Yicong for money. If she was not your daughter, she would have been in jail long ago. The second wife hired a killer to kill Xu Meifeng. If you hadn't protected her, she would have gone to jail too. And Wen Jiaxin drugged Wen Jiadong. If you hadn't protected her, would she have been safe?"

Wen Yue shook her head and said, "The cost of their crime is too low. They have seen this kind of thing many times. They think that poisoning individuals is no big deal. Anyway, you will protect them if the sky falls. Even if it is you who is harmed, they think you will forgive them, or you should forgive them, because this is what you have taught them all along!"

Wen Yue's words are not comprehensive. The reason why Wen Jiadong and Wen Jiaxin became like this is definitely not just because of Wen Rongsheng's connivance, but more likely because they are evil by nature.

Both of them are extremely selfish, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

It's just that Wen Jiadong could easily get whatever he wanted before, and Wen Jiaxin pretended to be very good, so it was not until Wen Yue came here that it was exposed.

But Wen Yue didn't plan to discuss the issue of children's education with Wen Rongsheng, so she skipped it and continued, "This time, you can still choose to tolerate it. Anyway, you are like this, and you may not see the day when they make a bigger mistake. Don't listen, don't think, don't watch, and the years will be quiet."
