Chapter 91 The Strongest Son- in-

Law There are some unspoken rules in the wealthy families, or in other words, in the adult world. They know many things in their hearts, but they will not say them out loud.

For example, the fact that Wen Rongsheng relied on women to get to the top is known to everyone in Hong Kong who often read newspapers, and their opinions are quite different.

Some people think that Wen Rongsheng initially opened only a small grocery store, which did not cost much money. Before that, he had been a salesman for several years and must have had savings. Even if Peng Lifen gave him resources, the money must not be much.

When Peng's father died, Wen Rongsheng already had his own business. Even if he established Li Rong Department Store by merging the industries left by his father-in-law, it cannot be said that he made his fortune by relying on his father-in-law.

In the final analysis, the reason why Wen Rongsheng was able to create such a big business was mainly because of his own ability and seized the opportunity. Even without Peng Lifen, he would definitely become the richest man. But without Wen Rongsheng, Peng Lifen would have been just the daughter of an ordinary business owner in the end, and no one would remember her name at all.

Therefore, the saying that Wen Rongsheng relied on women to get to the top is biased.

Some people also think that before Wen Rongsheng opened the grocery store, his family had just suffered a disaster because of the Shek Kip Mei fire, and his father also died in this fire.

After the fire, his family of four moved into the resettlement building, which was the first generation of public housing in Hong Kong.

That batch of public housing is still there, but the rooms have been connected. In the past, it was a small room separated. In today's terms, it is smaller than a subdivided flat, with a room of only about 11 square meters. [1]

In such a small house, two families lived together, one in the half near the window and the other in the half near the door. The living area for the four of them was less than six square meters, and the rent was seven dollars a month.

If Wen Rongsheng had money, why would he let his family squeeze into half of the house in the resettlement building?

Since he had no money, Peng Lifen alone paid for the grocery store. Although he relied on his personal ability to expand the grocery store, he still had the reputation of relying on his wife to make a fortune. Compared

with relying on his wife to make a fortune, it was nothing for Wen Rongsheng to merge the assets left by his father-in-law to set up a department store. After all, he had some assets at the time.

In this matter, he was criticized for being a brother who made clear accounts. Although he and Peng Lifen were husband and wife, he took the money from the Peng family and established a department store, but did not give Peng Lifen any shares. He was too calculating.

Women often said that Peng Lifen was stupid. As the old saying goes, "A man who can be trusted can climb a tree." But she gave money to Wen Rongsheng to do business and handed over the family property inherited from her father to Wen Rongsheng, thinking that he would be good to her when he became rich. However, she did not expect that the first thing a man would think of after he had money was to take a concubine. Although

the things Wen Rongsheng did were shameful to watch, everyone was an adult, so it was fine to talk behind his back. No one would talk about these things in front of him.

Especially after he became the richest man, let alone mentioning it in person, no one would even reveal a little emotion in front of him.

There may not be another person like Wen Jiaqi who accused Wen Rongsheng of relying on women to get to the top in the past ten years.

Even Wen Yue only said a few sarcastic words at most, but didn't make it clear. After all, she was still thinking about Wen Rongsheng's money. They could quarrel and make trouble, but they still had to maintain basic peace.

So when Wen Jiaqi said this, not only Wen Yue, but also the mother and son of the second wife were stunned.

Wen Rongsheng was furious: "Wen Jiaqi! What did you say? Say it to me again!"

"I, I said..." Wen Jiaqi stammered.

Although she was dissatisfied with Wen Rongsheng, she was mostly afraid of him. If she hadn't been hot-headed, she would definitely not say such a rebellious thing.

But the courage brought by her hot head only lasted until she said this. Seeing Wen Rong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, she didn't dare to say it a second time.

Chen Baoqin could not understand Wen Jiaqi's inner thoughts through her pale expression. She was afraid that she would do it again on impulse, and she was also afraid that Wen Rongsheng would drive the rebellious girl out of the house. She quickly said, "Jiaqi! How can you talk like that! This is your daddy! He said all this because he cares about you. Don't you know what's good for you? Hurry, apologize to your daddy!"

It would have been fine if Chen Baoqin didn't mention what happened just now, but as soon as she mentioned it, Wen Jiaqi's rebellious psychology came up again. She froze her face and refused to apologize, and muttered softly, "I didn't say anything wrong."

Although she was muttering, several people gathered at the dining table to eat, and there was only Chen Baoqin sitting between Wen Jiaqi and Wen Rongsheng. He was not hard of hearing, so it was impossible for him not to hear Wen Jiaqi's voice.

Wen Rongsheng took a breath, glared, then pointed at Wen Jiaqi and angrily said, "Okay! Okay! Since you think I'm right, don't come back in the future!"

After that, he turned around and called Butler Xu.

The latter walked out of the kitchen and said, "Mr. Wen."

"You tomorrow, no," Wen Rongsheng changed his mind as soon as he finished speaking, "Take people to her room to pack up things now and let her go!"

Chen Baoqin's face changed: "Rongsheng, Jiaqi is your daughter!" She turned around and slapped Wen Jiaqi, "Hurry up and apologize to your daddy!"

But Wen Rongsheng was already determined. His face did not change when he heard the slap. He just said angrily: "I don't have such a daughter!"

Wen Jiaqi was stunned by Chen Baoqin's slap at first. She covered her face and finally reacted when she heard these words. She also shouted at the top of her voice: "I'm not wrong! I won't apologize! Go if you want to, I don't want to live at home!"

Then she turned around and walked out.

Chen Baoqin wanted to chase her daughter, but seeing Wen Rong was so angry that he was breathing heavily, she was a little worried that he really didn't intend to acknowledge this daughter, so she stayed to comfort him: "Rongsheng, don't be angry, Jiaqi, that girl, she, she is not very smart, in fact, she has no bad intentions."

Wen Rongsheng believed this.

He really couldn't figure it out. If he didn't say that he was extremely smart, his IQ must be not low. Although Chen Baoqin was not very smart, it was limited by her experience, and she was not stupid to this extent.

Who did Wen Jiaqi inherit this from?

It didn't matter who she inherited from. Wen Rongsheng said with a sullen face, "Don't mention her in front of me in the future!"

Seeing that Wen Rongsheng was determined not to care about Wen Jiaqi, Chen Baoqin felt even more worried. She wanted to say something else, but then she heard Wen Jiadong say, "It's time for your elder sister to be taught a lesson."

Chen Baoqin pondered in her heart and felt that this was indeed the truth. Her daughter was so naive and stupid, and it was indeed related to her lack of hardship.

Although she was the second wife, Hong Kong laughed at poverty but not prostitution. When she was with Wen Rongsheng, he was already considered a newly rich man in Hong Kong. No matter what relatives and friends said, they must have been jealous of her behind her back.

When Wen Jiaqi was young, some people even murmured in front of her that she was only born to a second wife. As she grew up, and Wen Rongsheng's career became bigger and bigger, these voices gradually became less.

When she was ready to get married, Wen Rongsheng had become the richest man. It is no exaggeration to say that she could choose from all the wealthy children in Hong Kong at that time.

Although Lin Yongkang was an imposter, he was the legitimate son of the shipping magnate Lin family when they got married, so their wedding was very grand.

Although the Lin family also had several wives and was not peaceful, no one dared to bully Wen Jiaqi directly. Except for her husband who was more philandering and always had affairs outside, Wen Jiaqi generally lived a smooth life in the years after marriage. It was not

until Lin Yongkang's background was exposed that Wen Jiaqi encountered the first Waterloo in her life. Later, she was not very smooth. Last year, she was deceived by Liang Yicong.

But no matter how bad it was, Wen Jiaqi was still the daughter of the richest man. No matter how much Wen Rongsheng loved his daughter, he would find a way to help her solve her problems when she encountered troubles.

Wen Jiaqi has never really been taught a lesson, so she is fearless now and challenges Wen Rongsheng for an unreliable man.

Looking back, Chen Baoqin thinks it is okay to let Wen Jiaqi suffer a little, since she only makes so much money every month. Oh, she has annoyed Wen Rongsheng, so her pocket money will probably be deducted.

So even if this Lin Zhiming is unreliable, he can't cheat Wen Jiaqi out of much money.

Maybe after this incident, Wen Jiaqi can improve a little.

After thinking it through, Chen Baoqin is no longer in a hurry to speak for Wen Jiaqi. Wen Rongsheng is angry, and now is indeed not a good time. It might be better to talk about these things after a while when he has calmed down.

Although Chen Baoqin wanted Wen Jiaqi to suffer, she was her own daughter after all, so it was difficult for her to be completely assured, so she wanted to find out what Lin Zhiming was like.

But seeing that Wen Rongsheng was still angry, Chen Baoqin thought about it and swallowed her words back, planning to let Wen Jiadong ask someone later.

Chen Baoqin didn't dare to ask, but Wen Yue didn't care. After talking with Wen Rongsheng in the study, she asked about Lin Zhiming.

Wen Rongsheng's expression just softened, but it sank again when he heard this question: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Curious."

When they were arguing just now, the system said the extent of the relationship between Wen Jiaqi and Lin Zhiming, but in fact, there was no relationship at all.

Although Wen Jiaqi is stupid, she has never thought about love when choosing a man, and her requirements are always very high.

Needless to say, Lin Yongkang dated Liang Yicong before, mainly because he said that he was the son of a wealthy man in Southeast Asia and had a gold mine under his name. And after he came to Hong Kong, he spent money lavishly, and he really had the style of a wealthy family.

But she would not listen to advice, and she couldn't stand being controlled.

When she first dated Liang Yicong, she was actually quite sober, and she knew to wait for Wen Rongsheng to check his family situation. But when Wen Rongsheng expressed his opposition without definite evidence, she was unhappy and began to make a fuss for Liang Yicong.

This time was the same. Wen Jiaqi didn't really like Lin Zhiming.

Although Huafa Securities is somewhat famous in the industry, it is nothing in the entire wealthy circle. Lin Zhiming's net worth is only a few billion or two billion.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is already very rich, but Wen Jiaqi doesn't even look down on the son of the top wealthy family who has no inheritance rights, so naturally she doesn't think much of Lin Zhiming.

She is willing to give him the opportunity to pursue her, mainly because she values ​​that he can help her make money by speculating in stocks. As for dating and getting married, it's too early!

The above is Wen Jiaqi's previous thoughts. It's hard to say what she will think after being opposed by Wen Rongsheng. Maybe she will really date him or even marry him.

Wen Yue smiled and said, "If Wen Jiaqi really marries Lin Zhiming, he and we will be considered a family."

She certainly would not consider Lin Zhiming as a family member, let alone Lin Zhiming, and she never thought that the second and third wives were really brothers and sisters.

But what does it matter if you talk about it? Especially when these things are mentioned at this time, Wen Rongsheng feels more heartbroken.

Thinking of the possibility of what Wen Yue said, Wen Rongsheng's eyebrows wrinkled more and said, "If she dares to marry Lin Zhiming, she will never come back in her life."

Wen Yue shrugged: "I hope you can do what you say."

Wen Rongsheng refused to say, and Wen Yue also had her own news channel-the melon-eating system.

However, because Wen Yue had never met Lin Zhiming, the melon-eating system only knew the news about him that was reported, and many inside stories were not clear.

According to outside reports, Lin Zhiming was born in 1955 and is 40 years old this year.

Lin Zhiming's father came to Hong Kong during the war and married Lin Zhiming's mother in 1950. They had four children, and Lin Zhiming was the third child in the family.

The Lin family was not rich, and it was difficult to support four children to study. Lin Zhiming was seriously biased in his studies and his grades were generally average, so he dropped out of school after graduating from high school.

Although he dropped out of school early, Lin Zhiming was a person with a plan for the future. After graduation, he did not fall into depravity and hang out with those bad boys, but actively looked for a job.

Lin Zhiming had good looks and a quick mind, so he was able to find a job. However, he was not very stable and would always quit after working for a few months. Before he was 22, his longest job lasted for one year and two months, and his shortest lasted for less than three months.

At the age of 22, he had a turning point in his life. By chance, he got a job at Huafa Securities, but his position was not a broker, but a logistics staff.

However, he was not satisfied with being just a logistics staff. After working for half a year, he was transferred to the lobby as an assistant. The following year, he passed the relevant professional certificate and became a securities broker.

Lin Zhiming was very talented. After becoming a securities broker, he became Huafa's top broker within a few years. He also got together with Jin Shiting, the only daughter of Huafa's chairman at the time, under the matchmaking of Jin Lao.

According to reports, Jin Shiting also studied a related major in college. After joining Huafa Securities, she had been doing brokerage work until Jin Lao's health deteriorated and he began to stay in the hospital. She then turned to behind-the-scenes management. Before

his death, Jin Lao announced his will, transferred the majority of the shares to Jin Shiting, and supported her to become the chairman.

But considering that Jin Shiting was a woman and young, he was afraid that she would not be able to obey the public, so he transferred 5% of the shares to his son-in-law Lin Zhiming, who was known as the successor to the stock king because of his outstanding ability and was already the head of the department at that time, hoping that he could support his wife to take over smoothly.

After the death of Mr. Jin, Jin Shiting and Lin Zhiming worked together and quickly took control of the situation.

They have a good relationship as husband and wife. Although the woman is strong and the man is weak, Lin Zhiming is often criticized for relying on women to get to the top, but he doesn't seem to mind and always supports Jin Shiting in company management.

It was not until the third year of marriage that Jin Shiting became pregnant.

For professional women, pregnancy and childbirth are always a hurdle, and many people's careers are interrupted because of this.

As the chairman of Huafa Securities, Jin Shiting was not like ordinary working women who were squeezed out and transferred after becoming pregnant, and no longer had a position for her after returning to the company after giving birth, but the impact was still significant.

Although Jin Shiting has the most shares, Huafa Securities still has several major shareholders, and they are all people who have conquered the world with Jin Shiting's father, and they are not satisfied with her, a younger generation, climbing over their heads.

So when Jin Shiting was pregnant, they kept making small moves, and her pregnancy was unstable, and she went to the hospital several times to protect the fetus during pregnancy. She had no choice but to transfer some rights to Lin Zhiming.

The division of labor between them also changed.

Before pregnancy, Jin Shiting was an absolute professional woman, and Lin Zhiming contributed a little more to the family. But after pregnancy, Jin Shiting had to retreat to the second line. During this period, she might still be dragged down by the child, and had no choice but to explain that she voluntarily returned to the family when the child was born.

In the sixth year of their marriage, Lin Zhiming had a gossip scandal. It is unknown whether it is true or not, but it is certain that these scandals have affected the relationship between the couple.

In the seventh year of their marriage, the two began to quarrel over divorce, and then in September of the same year, Jin Shiting was revealed to be mentally ill and was sent to a nursing home by Lin Zhiming.

It is said to be a nursing home, but in fact it is a mental hospital, so Wen Rongsheng said that.

In the ninth year of their marriage, that is, six years ago, a fire broke out in the hospital where Jin Shiting was recuperating, and she disappeared. Some people said that she escaped, but more people thought she was dead.

Hong Kong law is that if the missing incident exceeds seven years, you can apply to the court for a declaration of death.

Although there is still nearly a year before the declaration deadline, she has been missing for so many years, and the probability of her coming back is very small. This is probably the reason why Wen Jiaqi is willing to accept Lin Zhiming's pursuit.

Of course, this also shows that Wen Jiaqi has a low sense of morality.

After eating the melon, Wen Yue asked: [Has Wen Jiaqi contacted Lin Zhiming?]

When she came out of Wen Rongsheng's study, she happened to meet Chen Baoqin who was sending Wen Jiaqi out.

Chen Baoqin probably found out about Lin Zhiming's situation. This information is not difficult to find out. Although the Jin family is not ranked among the wealthy families in Hong Kong, Lin Zhiming is even more of a rich son-in-law.

In his early years, Lin Zhiming was famous for a period of time because of his stock speculation. He was called the "successor to the stock king", but after getting married, I don't know whether he switched to management or ran out of talent. Well, it's not appropriate to use this idiom to describe it, but the meaning is similar. Anyway, he hasn't made any big achievements in the stock market in recent years.

But it is bizarre that Lin Zhiming, the son-in-law, became the chairman of Huafa Securities and sent his wife to a mental hospital, causing her to disappear for several years.

Most people in the wealthy circle must have read the relevant news, and Chen Baoqin is a minority who seems to have not heard of it at all.

Although Chen Baoqin wanted to teach Wen Jiaqi a lesson, she always felt uneasy when she thought of Lin Zhiming's past, fearing that her daughter would get hot-headed and really marry someone.

But Chen Baoqin thought again and felt that the two would not be able to get married in the next year.

Although Jin Shiting has been missing for so many years, Lin Zhiming can go to court to file for divorce, but he only holds 5% of Huafa Securities. He has been able to hold the position of chairman all these years because he is still Jin Shiting's husband in name.

If they don't divorce, he can apply for a declaration of Jin Shiting's death next year and inherit half of her property as her husband, and the other half will be inherited by their son.

Their son is not yet an adult, so the inherited shares will be held by Lin Zhiming on his behalf. Only then will his position be stable.

But if he files for divorce now, according to Hong Kong law, he will not be able to get the shares under Jin Shiting's name.

Although by next year, if Jin Shiting still hasn't come back, her shares will still be inherited by their son after applying for a declaration of death, and he can then hold the shares on her behalf in the name of a guardian, but holding shares on her behalf is certainly not as good as holding the shares in one's own hands.

So Chen Baoqin was a little relieved.

Well, not completely relieved. When sending Wen Jiaqi out, Chen Baoqin kept reminding her daughter not to get too close to Lin Zhiming.

Maybe it was because she was over the stage of a fever, Wen Jiaqi didn't explode like she did just now, but her face was full of impatience, and it was obvious that she didn't listen to Chen Baoqin's words.

After dealing with Wen Jiaqi for a year, Wen Yue understood her. She knew that if Chen Baoqin said nothing, she might come to her senses after moving out and start to find fault with Lin Zhiming's conditions and not develop further with him.

But with Chen Baoqin constantly nagging in her ear, the situation is uncertain. She might contact Lin Zhiming when she goes out.

Sure enough, the system said: [Wen Jiaqi is talking on the phone with Lin Zhiming, crying that Wen Rongsheng is authoritarian and even controls her friends and does not allow her to associate with him.]

[Oh? Then what?]

[Lin Zhiming apologized to Wen Jiaqi, saying that it was all his fault for his bad reputation, and that he really liked Wen Jiaqi.] The system said in real time, [He asked Wen Jiaqi where she lived now, and said that he had an empty house next to Victoria Harbour. If she didn't mind, he would give her the key now. 】

【What was Wen Jiaqi's reaction? 】

【Wen Jiaqi said that she had a house to live in, but Wen Rongsheng estimated that she would cut off her pocket money. Lin Zhiming said that her stocks had risen again in the past two days, but this stock performed well, it would be a pity to sell it now, and suggested observing for a few more days. However, he had some idle funds on hand that he could lend to her first. He asked her where she lived and he would go to give her a check now. 】

Wen Yue clicked her tongue: [This scumbag is quite good. 】

He also sent a check, couldn't a bank transfer work? Besides, Wen Jiaqi didn't need the money urgently, why couldn't she send the check at any time? Why did he have to come to her house tonight? It was

obvious that he had ulterior motives.

However, Wen Yue didn't have much sisterly friendship with Wen Jiaqi, and didn't care whether she would be deceived by a man. She was more concerned about other issues: [Which stock did Wen Jiaqi buy? Lin Zhiming's stock trading skills haven't declined, right?

Although she compared her past life memories, combined with the system and Yi Huai's opinions, and picked out several potential stocks, these companies were listed last year at the latest, and their stock prices have passed the crazy rise stage. They can make money if held for a long time, but it's hard to say in the short term.

As for those stocks that have skyrocketed in the short term, Wen Yue also took a fancy to two of them. She bought some when she opened an account yesterday, and the total amount was only 20,000 to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. She thought it would be best to make money,

and if she lost, she would just treat it as tuition. Although Wen Yue didn't expect to make a lot of money by short-term speculation, who would complain about having too much money? If Wen Jiaqi bought different stocks from hers, and Lin Zhiming's stock trading skills didn't decline, she would be willing to follow suit and make a fortune.

The system's answer disappointed her: [Wen Jiaqi doesn't know what stocks were bought, and I don't know whether Lin Zhiming's stock trading skills have declined.]

All right.

Wen Yue thought that since she couldn't make money from following the trend of stock trading, she would let these two people increase the sales of her newspaper. The next day, she asked the system: [Did Lin Zhiming stay overnight?]

[He stayed.]

[Then give me two photos, one of him entering the house last night, and one of him leaving the house this morning.]

[Okay~]

...

Although Wen Rongsheng was very angry with Wen Jiaqi and did not intend to forgive her in the short term, it was obviously impossible to sever the father-daughter relationship for this matter, so he did not let anyone publicize the fact that Wen Jiaqi was kicked out of the house.

As for Wen Jiaqi's relationship with Lin Zhiming... Wen Rongsheng did not intend to care.

In fact, he still understood Wen Jiaqi and knew that she had high standards. Without the interference of her family, she might lose interest in Lin Zhiming soon.

It is better to deal with it coldly. If the matter is really made a big deal, he will be embarrassed.

It's just that Wen Rongsheng had planned everything well, but he didn't expect a fire in the backyard. The next morning, he saw Wen Jiaqi and Lin Zhiming on the headlines together-"

Wen Jiaqi and Lin Zhiming had a secret meeting late at night, and the most powerful son-in-law in Hong Kong was suspected of hooking up with a rich family's daughter!"

Then he looked at the name of the newspaper-Dongjiang Entertainment News.

Wen Rongsheng's eyes went dark: "..."
