Chapter 18 The truth is revealed
. Although the "temporary press conference" has ended, the reporters who left did not all return to their respective newspaper companies, because most of them received the news that Shao Mingzhu fell ill and was hospitalized, and they hurried to the hospital as soon as they got off the Peak.
Also driving to the hospital was Wen Jiaqi, who returned home to complain to her father.
But her father was very busy and had no time to take care of her.
It was said that Wen Rongsheng was busy with the news that was previously exposed - his men found Qian Jiaming in the Bay Island and brought him back.
Wen Rongsheng went out early this morning just to take Zhou Baoyi and her son to see Qian Jiaming.
As the return of Hong Kong is getting closer, those wealthy people who did not make their fortunes in a bright way are trying to whitewash themselves and establish a philanthropist persona. Wen Rongsheng knew to be cautious when he made his fortune, so he would not risk his life for a woman.
But he was unwilling to let them live a good life, so when he saw Qian Jiaming, no matter how he knelt on the ground and begged, he still had his leg broken.
Then, Wen Rongsheng had Qian Jiaming, whose cash was confiscated, Zhou Baoyi, whose money was transferred and left only an empty account, and their illegitimate son Wen Jialiang, all packed up and sent to the ferry to South Asia.
It was not because Wen Rongsheng suddenly had a kind heart to reunite the family of three, but because he knew very well what kind of people Qian and Zhou were.
After being cheated on for several years, Qian Jiaming got together with Zhou Baoyi without any grudges. Was it really because of love? If so, why did he run away with the money when the
disaster was imminent? After Zhou Baoyi lived a wealthy life, she hooked up with Qian Jiaming and gave birth to a child for him. Was it really because she couldn't help herself? If so, why did she abandon Qian Jiaming without hesitation?
In Wen Rongsheng's view, after the rift, their underground relationship could last for ten years, not because of how deep their feelings were, but because they each had their own motives.
The woman wanted the original feelings again after she had money and status, while the man abandoned the previous feelings and only wanted benefits in his eyes and heart.
And the source of their benefits was the money given by Wen Rongsheng.
After losing their money and status, the couple who have been together for more than ten years will sooner or later have a day when dog bites dog.
Oh, he didn't even have to wait. The man and woman, who were in love half a month ago, started cursing each other before they even got on the boat. They were both saying that the other was deliberately seducing, and that they had gone astray.
Wen Rongsheng didn't have to worry at all. The family of three could live a sweet life after disembarking from the ship.
Unable to find someone who could make the decision for herself, Wen Jiaqi had no choice but to do the next best thing and hold her mother in her arms while crying and cursing.
Of course Chen Baoqin was angry at what Wen Yue had done, but she was more worried about the credibility of the news.
Was it because of this man that she married her daughter to Lin Yongkang, who was excellent in everything? Of course not, she was looking at Lin Yongkang's family background.
The two have been married for several years, and now all they need is a son to consolidate their status. What if it is really found out that Lin Yongkang is a fake young master who has taken over the old man's nest -
Chen Baoqin couldn't help but feel angry just thinking about it.
Hearing her daughter crying and scolding Wen Yue, Chen Baoqin couldn't help but said, "Don't scold her first. Is Yongkang the eldest son of the Lin family or the grandson of the nanny? Have you figured it out?"
"Do you still need to ask?!" Wen Jiaqi's voice became sharp, "We are not an ordinary family. How can a child be switched so easily?"
Chen Baoqin didn't think much about it, "Didn't they say that your mother-in-law trusts the nanny? And the newspaper even published a photo of the real young master."
"You believe what Wen Yue said? Who knows where the photo came from!"
Wen Jiaqi didn't like to hear such words. She married Lin Yongkang because he was the eldest son of the Lin family. If he became the son of the nanny, then what would she be?
Is it a joke?
Seeing that Chen Baoqin wanted to say something else, Wen Jiaqi said bitterly: "Mom, haven't you figured it out yet? The news that Wen Yue has revealed in the past few days is aimed at our rooms. Now that the fourth room is gone and the third room is abroad, she has set her sights on Yongkang. This time the news is so big that it is questionable whether it can be clarified. Even if it is clarified, do you think that Yongkang can live a good life with me in the future after such a thing happened? Will my parents-in-law not blame me?"
Although Chen Baoqin always felt that Wen Jiaqi was not smart enough, after listening to her analysis, she had to admit that what she said made sense.
Whether the matter of the real young master was true or not, it was beneficial to Wen Yue. Needless to say, their second room would definitely lose an arm. Even if it was fake, there would be a rift between the two Wen families, and it would be a question whether her daughter's marriage could be maintained.
Wen Yue is protected by both the Wen and Yi families. If things really don't work out, she can shift the responsibility to the employees of the newspaper company, without having to bear any risks at all.
The more Chen Baoqin thought about it, the more she felt that Wen Yue had ulterior motives.
Wen Jiaqi wiped away her tears and continued, "Mommy, you can't tolerate her like you did last time. When Daddy comes back, you must let him teach Wen Yue a lesson and let her learn enough lessons! Otherwise, if she can't harm me this time, she will definitely target Jiadong!"
Chen Baoqin's expression immediately became serious when she heard her son's name.
Although she was sure that she did not have other lovers like Zhou Baoyi, Wen Jiadong was definitely Wen Rongsheng's biological son, and she was also sure that the child was not raised by mistake, but how could the rumormonger care about the truth?
Moreover, it would be fine if Lin Yongkang was a fake young master. The Lin family would definitely not tolerate this. Even if Wen Yue borrowed the family's protection and did not have to bear other responsibilities, the newspaper under her name would definitely be closed.
But if this matter was true, not only would their second house break an arm, but the credibility of the newspaper under Wen Yue's name would also increase. If one day they could not find the problem of their house, they would just take out a few photos and spread rumors, and I am afraid that many people would believe it.
In order to avoid that situation, she must suppress Wen Yue now.
Chen Baoqin frowned and said, "When your daddy comes back, mommy will have a good talk with him about this."
Hearing this, Wen Jiaqi was reluctantly satisfied. She went downstairs to ask the housekeeper Wen Rongsheng if he had come back. She got a negative answer and said unhappily after returning to the room, "Where the hell has daddy been? He doesn't answer the phone, he's not at the company and he doesn't come back. Mommy, don't you care about him?"
Chen Baoqin's face sank. She thought to herself that she was not the legal wife, so how could she take care of Wen Rongsheng?
But she had been a concubine all her life, and she was very proud. She didn't want to say such words that would destroy her prestige, even in front of her daughter, so she said, "Without your daddy working outside, you wouldn't have the good life you have now. Okay, your daddy will come back eventually, so if you don't like him, go home first."
Wen Jiaqi rolled her eyes and said, "Why would I go back if this matter is not resolved? To quarrel?"
Chen Baoqin was speechless after being asked, so she had to let Wen Jiaqi stay at home for lunch.
But before she finished her meal, Wen Jiaqi received a call from her bad friends. The other party was apparently comforting her on the phone, but in fact he was gloating.
Wen Jiaqi was so angry that she smashed her mobile phone and ran back to her room and cried until Chen Baoqin walked into the room and said, "Your mother-in-law is in the hospital."
The crying stopped abruptly.
...
When Wen Jiaqi arrived at the hospital, the downstairs was already surrounded by reporters. She did not enter through the main gate, but drove the car into the underground parking lot and took the elevator upstairs.
Shao Mingzhu lived in the VIP ward of Hong Kong's leading private hospital. The corridor outside the ward was wide, and there were security guards guarding the elevator. There were even more security guards at the door of the ward.
Wen Jiaqi is the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, so naturally no one would stop her, but she was stunned when she just entered the ward.
Well, Shao Mingzhu lives in a suite, and now there are only her and the shipping king in the room, and the other members of the Lin family, including the nurses, are waiting in the living room.
This is nothing, although on the surface they are all one family, but they all know that living in peace is only for outsiders to see. No matter who is sick in the third room, the people in the other two rooms will not hope that he will recover soon.
What stunned Wen Jiaqi was that Lin Yongkang was also outside. Shao Mingzhu was hospitalized, and as a son, he should not be treated the same as others, so he blurted out: "Yongkang, why are you waiting outside?"
Lin Yongkang raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes slightly red.
This made Wen Jiaqi feel that the news published in the newspapers were all rumors. Not to mention the rumors about the true or false young master, just seeing that Shao Mingzhu was sent to the hospital because of anger, Lin Yongkang was so sad, he couldn't be the kind of person who could be so cruel as to hire a killer!
In fact, Lin Yongkang was not like this because Shao Mingzhu was admitted to the hospital, he was worried about his own future.
After Wen Jiaqi left in the morning, although Lin Guanhua and Shao Mingzhu didn't say anything and asked him to go to work with peace of mind, he knew that he would be finished if this matter was exposed, because his life experience would not withstand investigation.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't pass the hurdle of paternity identification.
Go to work with peace of mind?
How could he be at ease!
Lin Yongkang locked himself in the room and thought about what to do for a long time. Finally, he decided to tell the truth.
If he confessed now, he could still say that he was innocent. As for why he didn't tell them immediately that Chen A-mei had come to his house, he could also explain that he found it hard to accept for the time being and wanted to wait until the truth was clear.
A dog will develop feelings after being raised for a long time. Lin Guanhua and his wife have raised him as their own son for 30 years. As long as he can admit to hiring a murderer, they should not be so cruel as to drive him away directly.
If he waits until Lin Guanhua finds out the truth, his situation will become very passive. At that time, even if Wen Jiaqi is willing to follow him, they may not be soft-hearted.
After consideration, Lin Yongkang went to find Shao Mingzhu to confess.
He chose Shao Mingzhu because he knew that Lin Guanhua had always been dissatisfied with him, and he had no shortage of sons, so there was not much father-son affection between them.
Shao Mingzhu was different. Although they always quarreled in recent years because she couldn't stand his extravagant life, and the mother-son relationship was not as good as before, it was still better than the father-son relationship.
Moreover, women were more likely to soften their hearts than men. Moreover, Lin Guanhua had been in the business world for many years and had a hard heart. It would be more difficult to soften his heart than to soften Shao Mingzhu.
But he didn't expect that Shao Mingzhu fainted on the ground because of emotional excitement before she finished listening to him.
Thinking of Shao Mingzhu waking up and asking Lin Guanhua to ask them to go out without even looking at him, Lin Yongkang felt that he was like a dying fish, falling into the deep sea.
The moment he saw Wen Jiaqi, Lin Yongkang hated her.
He thought that if Wen Jiaqi had not handled the relationship between the sisters well, how could Wen Yue expose this matter without warning?
If the matter had not been exposed, when he dealt with Chen Amei and Li Yongxian, there would be no one in the world who knew his background and could threaten his position.
But soon, Lin Yongkang realized that there are no ifs in this world. Now he not only cannot get angry at Wen Jiaqi, but also has to cling to her.
Marriage with Wen Jiaqi is his only hope to stay in this family.
Thinking of this, Lin Yongkang forced a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Mommy said she wanted to talk to Daddy alone."
"What can't I say in front of you?" Wen Jiaqi pouted, "You are the only child of the eldest wife."
Hearing this, Lin Yongkang hasn't spoken yet, Lin Yongwen couldn't help but "chuckled": "Sister-in-law, don't say that, it's not certain whether he is our child." "
What do you mean?" Wen Jiaqi was furious, glared at Lin Yongwen and said, "I said this morning that the newspaper that reported this matter was under Wen Yue's name, and she published this rumor just to make trouble for me! How could Yongkang not be a child of the Lin family? Of course he is a biological child!"
At the end, her voice had turned into a roar.
Lin Yongwen wanted to say that if Lin Yongkang was a biological child, then how could Shao Mingzhu be so angry that she was sent to the hospital? But seeing Wen Jiaqi's crazy look, she hesitated and couldn't say this.
The other people in the Lin family were the same. The living room was quiet for a while,
but the silence did not last long. Soon someone pushed the door open.
The person who came was Lin Guanhua's assistant. When the Lin family saw him and were about to say hello, they saw him step aside after entering the room, revealing a tall man.
The Lin family members in the living room had seen him through newspapers, but the photo was a side profile, and even after being enlarged, the pixels were a bit blurry, and only his facial features could be barely seen to be similar to those of Lin Guanhua and his wife. Seeing
the real person now, the people in the second and third rooms were stunned.
Too similar.
The face of the man in front of them was a complete combination of Lin Guanhua and Shao Mingzhu's facial features. If the three of them stood together, no one would doubt that they were a family. After
seeing him, looking at Lin Yongkang again, there is really no part of his body that looks like a member of the Lin family.
Wen Jiaqi, the only one in the living room who had never seen a photo of the man, was also stunned the moment she saw him. At the same time, she quickly realized his identity and became excited: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" As she spoke, she pushed the other party forward, "Get out, get out of here!"
Lin Yongkang saw it and quickly reached out to pull the person: "Jiaqi."
But as soon as he touched Wen Jiaqi's hand, she slapped him: "Why are you pulling me? Don't you see what he is doing here? He must have seen the news and thought he was the real young master of the Lin family, so he ran over here with a thick face..."
Before she could finish her words, the door of the ward was opened from the inside. Lin Guanhua stood at the door, looking at the farce outside with a sullen face. He looked at Wen Jiaqi and asked, "What are you arguing about?"
Then he looked at the young man brought by the assistant, forced a smile on his face and said, "Yongxian is here? Come in quickly."
Upon hearing this, Li Yongxian walked into the ward.
Wen Jiaqi dared to make a noise in front of the younger generation, but she became a quail in front of Lin Guanhua. It was not until the door was closed from the inside that she grabbed the assistant who was about to leave and asked, "What's going on? Why did Dad let him in?"
"Sister-in-law, haven't you seen it yet? He is not shameless enough to come here on his own," the third daughter-in-law said schadenfreudely, "Eighty percent of the time, Dad invited him here specially, and Mommy wants to see him."
"Why should Mommy see him? Yongkang is their son!"
If the Lin family was only half-believing and half-doubting the reports before, then after seeing that Lin Yongkang could not even enter Shao Mingzhu's ward, and the real young master in the newspaper was specially called in by Lin Guanhua, they all began to believe the content of the report - the matter of the real and fake young masters was true.
After being convinced of this, the Lin family members were less cautious. Seeing that Wen Jiaqi still refused to believe the facts, Lin Yongwen could not help but said, "Sister-in-law, please stop playing dumb, okay? If the eldest brother is our biological son, would the eldest mother not let him enter the ward? If the person who came was not our biological eldest brother, do you think Daddy would go to so much trouble to find him?"
"What do you know? Daddy and Mommy have been deceived!" Wen Jiaqi said, turning around and glaring at Lin Yongkang, who had been silent all the time, and pushed him unhappily, "Why don't you say something!"
Lin Yongkang avoided Wen Jiaqi's angry gaze, lowered his head and said, "What do you want me to say?"
"Say that you are the biological son of the Lin family! They all come to doubt your background, and you let them talk nonsense. What if Daddy and Mommy believe it?"
"I..." Lin Yongkang's lips moved slightly, but in the end he was unable to say what Wen Jiaqi wanted to hear. Instead, he looked at her with some expectation and asked, "If I am not a biological child of the Lin family, will you not love me?"
Although the sentence was prefixed with "if", everyone present could hear that if was equivalent to tacit consent, and the people from the second and third rooms burst out laughing.
Hearing their laughter, Wen Jiaqi flew into a rage, pushed Lin Yongkang away and said, "If you are not a biological child of the Lin family, why should I love you? Love that you are short, love that you are ugly, or love that you are a loser!"
The more Wen Jiaqi spoke, the more she felt that she had been deceived, and she shouted loudly, "I want a divorce!!!"
...
[Wen Jiaqi has announced that she wants a divorce!!!
Although Wen Yue did not go to the hospital where Shao Mingzhu was staying, she knew everything that happened in the hospital. This
is also the advantage of binding to the melon-eating system. As long as Wen Yue has met someone, no matter where they are, the system can check their movements.
It's a pity that the system is not powerful enough and there is no simultaneous viewing function for the time being. If Wen Yue wants to see the excitement, she can only listen to the system's oral narration or text broadcast.
In fact, it's okay to listen to the system's oral broadcast, but the things that happened today are very dramatic. The oral narration doesn't sound right, which makes Wen Yue, who has a heart of eating melons, feel deeply regretful.
At the same time, Wen Yue felt that the potential of the system should not be limited, so she hinted, "Alas, I can't imagine how happy I would be if I could see the hospital's video broadcast today."
The system quickly understood Wen Yue's meaning and replied, "Dear, we don't have the video broadcast function."
"That's why I sighed. Look at the smartphone I used before I traveled through time, and the software downloaded in the phone. The developer would push new versions every now and then. Sometimes you don't want to use the new version, it will automatically update."
Wen Yue pointed and said, "Look at your company. I have been tied to you for several days, and I haven't waited for an update until now. A system from a higher-dimensional world doesn't even have the most basic synchronized images. Do you think it's reasonable?"
The system hesitated and asked, "It seems... not reasonable? 】
"Then do you know what to do now?"
【How to do it? 】
"Of course, submit user requirements to the higher-ups and try to update the functions as soon as possible!" Wen Yue was distressed, "Tong, with your job sensitivity, I doubt whether you can be converted to a regular employee after the probation period!"
The system, which was still a newcomer, was instantly ashamed: 【I will submit the information now. 】
"Well." Wen Yue was reluctantly satisfied, and reminded, "Remember to urge more after submitting the information."
【Okay. 】
After watching the excitement, Wen Yue checked the account status of the melon-eating value.
Hong Kong news practitioners have always been very fast. Although newspapers are limited by printing and the speed of publication is not that fast, TV and radio stations are much more flexible and can insert important news at any time.
There are many news programs that are suitable for the gossip of the True and False Young Master, such as economic news. The shipping tycoon family is a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong. Any disturbance may cause stock price fluctuations, not to mention such a major event as the eldest son being swapped. Economic experts must of course analyze the possible impact of this incident.
Another example is legal news. Whether it is the child swap or Lin Yongkang's attempt to hire a murderer after learning about his life experience, they are all jumping back and forth on the bottom line of the law.
Another example is life news. When there is no news, even if a chicken is missing from a citizen's home, it can be reported, not to mention that the child who was swapped in the Lin family is a child.
Not to mention entertainment news, the main objects of their reports are celebrities and wealthy families.
So after the news of the True and False Young Master broke out, today, as long as the news programs can take advantage of the popularity of this gossip, they are desperately cueing it. Moreover, after Wen Yue was interviewed at noon, the popularity of this matter climbed up again, and it has not dropped until now.
So in just one noon, Wen Yue deposited 180,000 melon-eating points. Together with what she earned before the meal, she had earned more than 500,000 melon-eating points in half a day!
And her melon-eating points balance is close to 680,000.
"How many life points can I exchange for my current melon-eating points?"
[It can be exchanged for 471.8 days, dear, do you need help to exchange the melon-eating points for life points? ]
For Wen Yue now, there is actually no difference between exchanging the melon-eating points early or late.
Because at present, the melon-eating points have only two uses, one is to exchange for life points, and the other is to buy evidence.
Compared with the melon-eating points obtained from the big melon, the melon-eating points obtained from buying evidence are nothing, not to mention that she negotiated a half-price discount with the system. In addition, when necessary, life points can be exchanged for melon-eating points.
So it is actually useless to hold the melon-eating points in your hand. It can't generate interest, and it can't buy other things.
But there is no harm either. The system does not stipulate that melon-eating points will automatically expire if they are not exchanged for life points when they expire. Moreover, she has just exchanged 100 days of life points, and her life balance is still sufficient.
As long as she doesn't wait until the last minute
to redeem her life points, and as long as she's unlucky enough to encounter a system crash, there shouldn't be any problems. But Wen Yue is a rebellious person by nature. If the system hadn't been so proactive in redeeming her life points, she might not have needed to urge it, and would have directly redeemed her life points as soon as she earned them. But seeing that the system always found ways to make her redeem her life points as soon as possible, she couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with this matter, and wanted to wait a little longer.
This time, Wen Yue's answer was still the same: "Don't redeem it yet."
[Okay QAQ]
While the system host was chatting, the situation at the hospital changed again: [Host, Lin Yongkang was taken away by the police! Wen Yue
immediately became angry: "He was taken away directly? Didn't the Lin family stop them?"
Lin Guanhua did come forward, but he did not stop the police. He also told Lin Yongkang that Hong Kong is a society ruled by law and the police will not wrongly accuse good people. As long as he has not done it, he will be fine even if he is taken away for investigation. He also told him not to worry.
Wen Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Murder is heartbreaking!"
The system was puzzled: Wasn't he comforting Lin Yongkang and reasoning with him? 】
"If Lin Yongkang didn't do anything bad, this is of course comforting, but he did hire a murderer, how heartbreaking it is to hear this again." Wen Yue said, thinking, "And do you think that when Lin Guanhua said these words, did he really believe that Lin Yongkang was innocent?"
The system couldn't guess, but it could calculate. After getting the result, it was silent for a moment before saying: [According to the calculation, there is a 99% chance that Lin Guanhua believes that Lin Yongkang is not innocent. 】
Wen Yue spread her hands: "Obviously, Lin Yongkang will be abandoned by the shipping tycoon and his wife." Although
the tone was regretful, Wen Yue showed a relieved smile on her face.
Don't look at Lin Guanhua's high-sounding words. In fact, there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong who are at large with blood on their hands. As long as there is money, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved.
Besides, Lin Yongkang only tried to murder someone by hiring a killer. If he could find a good lawyer and work hard, it shouldn't be difficult to get him a suspended sentence, not to mention being acquitted. But good lawyers are not something that ordinary people can easily hire. At least, Lin Yongkang, who is now deserted by his friends and relatives, doesn't have this ability. He is doomed to stay in prison.
And judging from the attitude of the shipping tycoon and his wife, it will be difficult for Lin Yongkang to return to the Lin family after he is released from prison. Even if he doesn't become destitute in the future, he will definitely not be able to live the life of extravagance he once lived.
For Wen Yue, the crisis that Lin Yongkang might bring has basically been resolved.
...
Wen Rongsheng was not in a very good mood at this time.
Although he knew that the women around him were not so simple, and he did not invest too much emotion in them, he felt a lump in his throat when he thought of the women who depended on him for support, who had used the money he gave them to support a gigolo for almost ten years, and who had watched him raise his illegitimate son for ten years.
Even if he broke Qian Jiaming's leg, emptied Zhou Baoyi's account, and packed up the couple and their illegitimate son to go to South Asia, it would still be difficult to get rid of the anger.
So after watching the family of three get on the boat, Wen Rongsheng did not go back to the company, but went out to sea on a yacht to fish.
Fishing was quite stress-relieving, and Wen Rongsheng felt much better after half a day. However, before he got off the boat, he received bad news - his eldest son-in-law was suspected of hiring a murderer and was taken away by the police!
That would have been fine, but he also learned that the eldest son-in-law, who was originally the heir of a wealthy family, was actually a fake young master who had usurped the throne, and his biological father was the son of the nanny who had swapped the real young master with the fake one!
And the news was revealed by a newspaper under the name of his second daughter, and the reason was suspected to be a dispute over the inheritance of the wealthy family!
It was a complete mess!
Before he even left the dock, he received another call from his eldest daughter, who was crying and gasping for breath on the phone. She first accused Lin Yongkang of being a liar, then threatened to divorce, and finally asked him to be fair and teach Wen Yue a lesson.
Wen Rongsheng's face darkened when he heard this, and he hung up the phone without agreeing.
Although he was annoyed, Wen Jiaqi was his biological daughter after all, and he couldn't just ignore her. So after hanging up the phone, Wen Rongsheng still told the driver who was about to drive to the company: "Go back to Mid-Levels."
When he got back to No. 36 Barker Road, Wen Jiaqi, who ran out, hugged Wen Rongsheng's arm as soon as he got out of the car. He looked down and saw his eldest daughter crying loudly with two panda eyes and a bloody mouth.
It was a pity that it was daytime. If he saw this face at night, he would be scared to death.
Hearing Wen Jiaqi's crying, which was exactly the same as in the phone call, Wen Rongsheng frowned and said, "Okay, I know the situation. Don't just cry. Pay attention to your image."
Chen Baoqin, who followed him out, heard this and hurriedly asked housekeeper Xu to take Wen Jiaqi to wash up.
Wen Rongsheng walked into the living room, sat on the sofa with his eyes closed for a long time, and then asked: "What exactly is going on? Tell me everything from beginning to end."
"This is what happened..."
After listening to Chen Baoqin's words, Wen Rongsheng asked: "So, is it confirmed now that Lin Yongkang is not the biological son of the Lin family?"
"It can be basically confirmed. Now we are just waiting for the results of the paternity test." When she said this, Chen Baoqin's face was very ugly. She had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that Lin Yongkang was actually a fake!
If she had known this, she shouldn't have let her daughter marry him!
Wen Rongsheng also thought of this, rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "Jiaqi is asking for a divorce now?"
"Of course I want a divorce!" The speaker was Wen Jiaqi who had just washed her face. She usually loves beauty, but this time she no longer cares about it. She sits on the sofa with her face bare. "Not only a divorce, but the Lin family has to compensate me!"
"Compensate you?" Wen Rongsheng looked surprised.
Wen Jiaqi said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course, I married the eldest son of the Lin family! We have only been married for a few years, and Lin Yongkang has become a fake! Shouldn't they compensate me?"
Wen Rongsheng almost lost his temper and scolded him mercilessly, "I think you are confused! Can you understand it? You and Lin Yongkang are in a free love relationship! Now that Lin Yongkang has been proven not to be your biological son, it's good enough that they don't ask you to return the betrothal gift. You still want compensation?"
"Why do they ask me for a betrothal gift? That's all my money!" Wen Jiaqi shouted at the top of her voice, "If it weren't for the Lin family recognizing Lin Yongkang as the eldest master, could I have a free love relationship with him? This is the Lin family's fault!"
Wen Rongsheng was too lazy to argue with Wen Jiaqi, and sneered, "Okay, if you think they are wrong, you go to them to ask for a betrothal gift, don't let me lick their faces!"
"Daddy!"
Wen Rongsheng ignored Wen Jiaqi, got up and went directly to the study room, but not long after he entered the study room, Chen Baoqin followed him in.
Seeing her, Wen Rongsheng's face was not very good: "What are you doing here? Do you want me to go to the Lin family to ask for an explanation?"
Chen Baoqin walked behind Wen Rongsheng, pressed his shoulders and said, "I know your dilemma, and the Lin family is indeed the victim in this matter, it is not appropriate to ask them for an explanation."
"You are being reasonable." Wen Rongsheng said with his eyes closed.
"Don't blame Jiaqi, she must be upset after encountering such a big change, it is inevitable that she will be depressed." Chen Baoqin sighed, "After all, this matter is still too sudden. If we could know the news in advance and discuss it with the Lin family, maybe it wouldn't have come to this."
Wen Rongsheng closed his eyes and said nothing.
Chen Baoqin looked down at Wen Rongsheng's expression, but could not see anything. She could only continue to hint at him: "Alas, the Lin family and our family used to be close friends. After something like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again in the future. Although our two families don't have much overlapping business, if we have a good relationship, no matter which side encounters difficulties, the other side will definitely help. In the future... I guess it will be difficult to deal with it."
Wen Rongsheng turned his head, looked directly into Chen Baoqin's eyes and asked: "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Chen Baoqin gritted her teeth and said hard, "I know I'm not Ah Yue's real elder, and I shouldn't say bad things about her in front of you. If I say too much, it might alienate the relationship between you and your daughter."
Chen Baoqin raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, and said with a choked voice, "But I really feel unfair for you today. Outsiders only see your high-spirited and high-spirited planning, but I know how hard it has been for you to get to where you are today, so when facing those noble ladies, I always speak and act cautiously, for fear of offending people and making your business difficult. But what about Ah Yue? Such a big thing, she didn't say a word before it broke out. It's okay if this thing is true, but if it's fake news, it will offend so many people!"
Wen Rongsheng said, "It shouldn't be that bad, Ah Yue has her own plans in mind."
"No matter how successful she is, she doesn't go to report news herself. What if someone deceives her with fake news?" Chen Baoqin speculated boldly, "Or, if she finds out that one of your wealthy friends has problems and exposes it regardless of the consequences, how can you cooperate with others in the future?"
Wen Rongsheng's lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, Chen Baoqin knew that she had achieved her goal and stopped talking. She quickly let go of Wen Rongsheng's shoulders and found an excuse to leave the study.
After Wen Rongsheng sat alone in the study for nearly half an hour, he finally called Wen Yue and asked her to bring Yi Huai home for dinner in the evening.
Although it was for dinner, Wen Yue and the system knew that Wen Rongsheng was here to call for punishment.
But Wen Yue did not hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll call him." After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Yi Huai and told him about this.
Obviously, Yi Huai was also concerned about these things. He said very considerately on the phone, "If you don't want to go back for dinner, I can say that there is something at the company."
"I want to go back for dinner."
"Are you sure?"
Wen Yue did not hesitate: "Definitely and definitely." Only
when you do something wrong will you be held accountable, but is she wrong in exposing the real and fake young master?
She disclosed the truth and stopped the crime. She didn't feel guilty when the police called her to receive the Good Citizen Award, okay? Why don't you dare to go to the Wen family for dinner?
...
In terms of food, the Wen family is indeed much better than the Yi family.
This is not referring to the taste of the food. The cooking skills of the chefs on both sides are very good, but the Wen family is extravagant, and the price of ingredients is not cheap. Even vegetables are not eaten unless they are natural.
Before Wen Yue traveled through time, she had been devastated by the ninth cuisine for many years. Basically, except for the long-term Western food, she was not very interested in other foods, and could adapt to the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
So she had a very happy meal.
But she was happy, and the mother and daughter sitting opposite her did not look very good, especially Wen Jiaqi. She looked at her as if she wanted to eat someone, and she showed a gloating smile from time to time. It was obvious that she was not in a good mind.
In general, the meal was relatively peaceful. After the meal, Wen Jiaqi looked at Wen Rongsheng expectantly, but he did not call out Wen Yue's name, but said to Yi Huai: "Come with me to the study."
After that, the two got up and left the restaurant.
Wen Jiaqi couldn't bear it any longer. She got anxious as soon as she saw it. She turned aside and shouted unwillingly, "Mommy!"
Chen Baoqin ignored her and said to Wen Yue, "Shall we go to the reception room and sit for a while?"
Wen Yue smiled slightly and said, "No, I'm afraid Daddy won't be able to find me after talking to Ah Huai."
Seeing Wen Yue walking out of the restaurant, Wen Jiaqi asked in confusion, "What does she mean? Does Daddy want to talk to her again?"
Although Wen Jiaqi is a cousin, Chen Baoqin has to admit that Wen Yue is much smarter than her. She said helplessly, "It should be. Go back to your room now and don't get involved in this matter."
"Why?" Wen Jiaqi was dissatisfied. She still wanted to see the excitement.
Chen Baoqin couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "Just go if I tell you to! Why are you so talkative!" After that, she left the restaurant by herself, leaving Wen Jiaqi alone, slamming the table in anger.
The conversation in the study was not going very pleasantly at this moment. The reason was very simple. Wen Rongsheng's calculations were too loud.
Wen Rongsheng had reached his current position, so he was naturally good at knowing people. After just one encounter with Wen Yue, he could see that she had become more difficult to deal with.
Although the main reason why he kept giving in during the last conversation was Yi Huai, if Wen Yue still had the same temper as before, there was no way to make him give in and pay.
As a father, he was of course happy to see the changes in his daughter.
As an old scum who had been in the world of love for many years, Wen Rongsheng knew that all men were the same. Yi Huai looked decent now, but what about ten or twenty years later?
Wen Yue could stand firm, so even if Yi Huai changed in the future, she could still live a good life.
Unlike Wen Jiaqi, who looks powerful but lives a mess, if it weren't for the Wen family, her life would have been full of misery.
But it was Wen Yue's character that made Wen Rongsheng feel very difficult when he decided to talk to her.
This girl is a bit stubborn, especially in front of him, her biological father. If he went to talk to her directly about this matter, it might backfire.
After thinking about it, Wen Rongsheng thought of Yi Huai.
Of course, Wen Rongsheng did not directly order Yi Huai to handle this matter.
Although they are father-in-law and son-in-law, it does not mean that Yi Huai must obey him, not to mention that Yi Sheng has grown rapidly in the mainland market in recent years, and its scale is no longer comparable to the past.
If three years ago, some people still thought that Yi Huai and Wen Yue's marriage was a step above his station, no one would think so now. Even the experienced people in the business community, when talking about this marriage, felt that Wen Rongsheng acted too quickly.
Who wouldn't want such a good son-in-law?
Even though Wen Rongsheng is the richest man, he should think twice when dealing with Yi Huai. He can treat him as a junior, but he should not really think of him as a junior and boss him around.
In short, he should have a good attitude. If he is too high, it will easily make people feel dissatisfied, and if he is too low, it will easily make people look down on him.
Therefore, after entering the study, Wen Rongsheng chose to ask indirectly: "Do you know today's news?"
Yi Huai nodded and said, "I know." Wen
Rongsheng continued to ask: "What do you think about this matter?"
Yi Huai pondered for a moment and said, "I am glad that Ah Yue has what she wants to do, and I will always support her."
This answer is contrary to what Wen Rongsheng wanted. He frowned and asked carefully: "Aren't you worried that Ah Yue will continue to act so recklessly and offend all the wealthy families in Hong Kong, making it difficult for you to do business?"
Yi Huai looked surprised: "Dad, why do you think so?"
"What?"
"Judging from the two big news stories reported by Ah Yue after she got involved in the development of the newspaper company, I don't think Ah Yue is acting recklessly. Facts have proved that these news stories are true, and what she did was just in compliance with the basic qualities of a journalist. As for offending the wealthy families in Hong Kong..."
Yi Huai paused for a moment and asked, "Do you blame Ah Yue in your heart?"
Wen Rongsheng denied it flatly: "Of course not!"
"I think so too," Yi Huai said knowingly, "If it weren't for Ah Yue exposing Mrs. Zhou, you would probably still be kept in the dark and raise your illegitimate son as your own son."
Wen Rongsheng's face twitched, but he said nothing.
Yi Huai continued, "As for today's incident, I believe the Lin family will definitely not blame Ah Yue. After all, if it weren't for her, they would still treat their enemy's son as their own. Even if they had the opportunity to discover the truth in the future, their biological son might have already turned into ashes."
Wen Rongsheng could certainly think of what Yi Huai said. He had also said this to Chen Baoqin before, but he was worried about the future...
Which wealthy family doesn't have dirty deeds?
At the speed of Wen Yue exposing a wealthy family every three days, he felt that it wouldn't be long before all the wealthy families in Hong Kong would be offended by Wen Yue.
After listening to Wen Rongsheng's words, Yi Huai pondered for a moment and said, "I think this is just your guess. Is it possible that Ah Yue is only involved in the management of the newspaper company and not in reporting the news? The news about your family and the Lin family that broke out in succession is just a coincidence. The newspaper under her name does not focus on these wealthy families in Hong Kong."
"Your guess is possible, but isn't it too coincidental twice in a row? And as far as I know, Ah Yue took out evidence of Lin Yongkang hiring a killer when she was interviewed by reporters at noon today," Wen Rongsheng put forward his own ideas, "I think she is not only involved in the management of the company, at least the important news reported by her reporters will pass through her hands."
Yi Huai fell silent, and after a long time asked, "Why did you come to me to tell me this?"
Wen Rongsheng revealed his ultimate purpose: "I hope you can have a good talk with Ah Yue."
There was no surprise on Yi Huai's face.
In fact, when he walked into the study and heard Wen Rongsheng's first words, he guessed what the other party was thinking.
Wen Rongsheng said all this because he was worried that Wen Yue would offend people, so he wanted to stop her from publishing a newspaper. But because he knew she was difficult to deal with, he wanted him to take the lead and offend people?
The beads of this abacus were knocking so hard that they almost broke his face.
He was not stupid, and of course he would not rush to do such a thankless task, so he decisively refused: "Sorry, I can't agree to your request."
And in order to avoid such a situation in the future, Wen Rongsheng came to him, and before he could speak, Yi Huai pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Actually, I don't quite understand. Do you want Ah Yue and I to be good, or do you want us to be bad?"
Wen Rongsheng was slightly stunned: "Of course I hope you are good."
"If you want Ah Yue and I to get along well, why do you give me such a big problem? You are her father, you should understand her character. Do you think we can still live a good life after I interfere in her career?"
Yi Huai frowned, as if he couldn't understand, "But if you want us to be bad, why bother to let us live together?"
Wen Rongsheng: "..."
...
After hitting a wall with his son-in-law, Wen Rongsheng still called Wen Yue into the study.
This time he didn't talk about benefits right away, but wanted to impress her with family affection, saying: "I know you and Jiaqi are of different ages and don't spend much time together, but you are biological sisters after all, and you should always be considerate of each other when doing things. Just like what happened today, wouldn't it be better if you came back in advance to tell your elder sister so that she could be mentally prepared? She came back and cried for the whole afternoon."
Wen Yue thought that with her relationship with Wen Jiaqi, there was only one possibility for such a situation - the broken bone was not right.
If it was Wen Rongsheng's bone that was missing, the people of the third branch of the Wen family would definitely stop contacting each other after attending the funeral.
But considering that Wen Rongsheng was old and might get angry after hearing this, Wen Yue swallowed her words and just said, "What's the point of crying for an afternoon? If I hadn't exposed Lin Yongkang, she would have cried for half her life."
Wen Rongsheng disagreed, "Why would she cry if this hadn't happened?"
"Do you think that someone who dared to kill his own grandmother to hide his origins would be good to Wen Jiaqi after inheriting the Lin family?"
In the original novel, Lin Yongkang certainly didn't inherit the Lin family, but what Wen Yue said was not a rumor, because after losing the right to inherit, Lin Yongkang only knew how to spend money on wine and women, and Wen Jiaqi really didn't live a good life.
Not to mention that Wen Yue and Wen Jiaqi didn't have a good relationship, even if they were sisters, she wouldn't feel guilty about her actions in this matter.
Wen Yue said, "The marriage between Wen Jiaqi and Lin Yongkang is a pit of fire. The longer she stays in it, the greater her losses will be. So strictly speaking, I should be considered the benefactor who pulled her out of the pit of fire. Of course, I know that she has never known good from bad and will definitely not be grateful to me, but Daddy, you are a smart man. She can't tell good from bad, but you are not blind, right?"
Can Wen Rongsheng say that he is blind? Of course it's impossible!
So he could only force a smile and said, "What you said makes sense, but shouldn't you have told your family in advance before publishing it in the newspaper?"
"Why should I tell my family in advance? To make it easier for Wen Jiaqi to go to Lin Yongkang to inform him and hire
someone to kill me?" Wen Yue asked without waiting for Wen Rongsheng to answer, "Don't say she won't do that. She can still blame me even when the facts are in front of her. Before the incident was exposed, who knew what she would do for Ronghua Fugui? Daddy, I'm your daughter too. You will definitely not ignore my life for her, right?"
"Of course I won't ignore your safety, but I think you can tell me these things in advance so that I can be mentally prepared to avoid a situation like today happening again."
"What happened today?" Wen Yue asked herself, "Today I exposed the truth, stopped the evil, and saved the relationship between the Wen and Lin families. Isn't the final result a happy ending for everyone?"
"Wait?" Wen Rongsheng suspected that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Wen Yue and asked word by word, "You saved the relationship between the Wen and Lin families?"
"Yes."
Wen Yue nodded and said righteously: "If I hadn't exposed Lin Yongkang, after he hired a killer to kill his grandmother, the next step would definitely be to find someone to kill the Lin family's biological son. Although the Lin family raised Lin Yongkang for so many years, after this happened, do you think the shipping magnate and his wife can still treat him as their own son? Impossible, right? This is revenge for killing a son!"
The Wen and Lin families are close friends, so Wen Rongsheng naturally knows that the relationship between the Lin family father and son is not good, and said: "This is natural."
"The Wen and Lin families have a good relationship, not only because of your good relationship with the shipping tycoon, but also because of the marriage between the two families. But if Lin Yongkang succeeds in hiring a killer, he will become the enemy of the Lin family. Do you think the Wen and Lin families can still maintain a friendly relationship at that time? I'm afraid that not disturbing each other must be based on the premise that Wen Jiaqi has no children. If they have children a few years later, the two families will probably fight to the death."
Although the Wen family was also cheated, who would care so much about hatred? Besides, Wen Jiaqi and Lin Yongkang were in a free love relationship, and even if they were cheated, the responsibility would not be on the Lin family.
If it really comes to that, these things are destined to be a mess.
"It's different now, because of me," Wen Yue patted her chest and said boldly, "The Wen family has found their biological son, Wen Jiaqi is not pregnant, and after the divorce procedure, our Wen family can sever ties with Lin Yongkang. Even if the Lin family is reasonable, they may feel sorry for Wen Jiaqi and grateful to me. You should seize the opportunity, and the relationship between the two families may be taken to the next level."
After praising herself, Wen Yue said with great sorrow: "I have made so many contributions to the family, and Daddy, you actually said that I don't care about my family! Think about it yourself, is this appropriate?"
Facing Wen Yue's self-righteousness, Wen Rongsheng actually felt a little guilty: "I didn't say that."
"Why didn't you say anything? You just accused me of ignoring my sisterly relationship with Wen Jiaqi!" Wen Yue pretended to be disappointed and said, "I finally understand. In your heart, only the crying child gets the milk. People like me who are honest and loyal and only know how to work hard can only get criticism and accusations."
Wen Rongsheng had a strange expression on his face: "You think you are honest and loyal and only know how to work hard?"
Wen Yue asked shamelessly: "What else?"
Wen Rongsheng: "..."
Seeing Wen Rongsheng speechless, Wen Yue sighed and said: "I am too... I'm sad. For our family, I arranged marriage and risked my life to expose Lin Yongkang. I've done so many things. It would be fine if there was no reward, but in the end, I'm not as good as Wen Jiaqi in shedding a few tears in front of you. It's true that a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a straw..."
Hearing Wen Yue's increasingly outrageous words, Wen Rongsheng rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "What kind of reward do you want?"
Wen Yue immediately stopped Tang Seng's chanting and smiled, "Don't worry, Daddy, I don't want much, just double my pocket money."
"Double it?"
"Other families have two children, and they all get double the pocket money and family funds. I'm the only one left in the eldest family. Is it too much for me to get double the pocket money?" Wen Yue said, "Of course, if you are too stingy to spend this money, it's fine. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just a tool who can only bring you benefits, not the kind of people who deserve to enjoy the benefits. I'm used to it..."
Wen Rongsheng couldn't listen any more, raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Increase it, I'll give you a higher pocket money!"
"Thank you, Daddy!" Wen Yue smiled immediately and asked, "Will you ask your assistant to transfer the difference in pocket money this month to me, or write me a check?"
Wen Rongsheng paused and said, "I'll ask my assistant to transfer it to you."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Wen Yue said, and stood up and walked out without hesitation.
It was not until she walked out of the study that Wen Rongsheng realized that something was wrong. Didn't he ask her to come to the study to stop publishing the newspaper? Why did he increase her pocket money when the job was not done?
