Mr. Cheng was very fair in treating his children. He had told them a long time ago that except for a little more given to the heir he designated, the rest of the property would be divided equally among his children.
Moreover, if he gave more money to one of his children in his early years, this child would get less accordingly in the future.
In the early years, people from the second and third wives asked Old Man Cheng for a lot of money to start their own businesses, but Cheng Yanqi was devoted to art and didn't spend any of Old Man Cheng's money except for studying abroad. Later, he became a little famous and had the status of the young master of the Cheng family, so he was very popular and was able to support himself by painting.
Therefore, Cheng Yanqi was able to get a lot of property.
Mrs. Cheng had been coveting this property, and with her brother instigating her, it was natural for her to have some evil ideas.
At first, Cheng Yanqi disappeared and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. At that time, she didn't think of killing Cheng Jinhao. After all, if Cheng Jinhao died, maybe Mr. Cheng would not give the extra money to Cheng Yanqi!
At that time, she and her brother just wanted someone to lead Cheng Jinhao astray - if Cheng Jinhao became a bad person, Old Master Cheng would definitely give his property to Cheng Yanzu for safekeeping.
If Cheng Jinhao encounters any more accidents in the future, the money will sooner or later belong to Tianlin.
But later, Cheng Yanqi got news in Europe... She and her brother were afraid that Cheng Jinhao would come back to complain, and that what they had done would be exposed. In addition, Cheng Jinhao was not under their control. Although he did not study well, he was not involved in pornography, gambling or drugs. So they simply decided to go all out and find someone to kill Cheng Jinhao.
At that time, the man said that Cheng Jinhao was dead, took photos and took their money, so they thought everything was fine.
Over the years, she has always been very proud of what she has done. Even though Cheng Yanqi became Mr. Cheng's heir, she didn't care too much. After all, Cheng Yanqi had no children, and his money would sooner or later be given to Cheng Tianlin.
In the end, Cheng Jinhao didn't die...
What she could not have imagined was that she was actually exposed.
Mrs. Cheng kept crying and cursing.
Cheng Yanzu said: "Lock her up!"
When Madam Cheng was making a fuss, she did not avoid the servants at all. When Cheng Yanzu quarreled with her, he did not avoid the servants either. The servants heard the whole quarrel between the two and were trembling with fear, knowing that Madam Cheng was finished.
Therefore, even the servants who were originally close to Madam Cheng did not dare to disobey Cheng Yanzu's words. In the end, everyone worked together to lock Madam Cheng in her bedroom - she had slept in a separate room from Cheng Yanzu many years ago.
Cheng Yanzu and other servants locked up Madam Cheng and fell directly on the sofa.
In fact, what happened to Cheng Jinhao was not entirely Mrs. Cheng's idea. Cheng Yanzu knew very well that his wife did this mostly because of her brother's instigation, and these things were also done by her brother.
His wife's family had long been in decline, and they were finding various ways to get money from his wife, hoping that she would have more money.
But the person next to me turned out to be like this... Cheng Yanzu covered his face with his hands.
Cheng Yanqi set the date for the banquet on January 18th.
Before the banquet, he would take Cheng Hao to see Old Master Cheng every day.
When people get older, they become fragile and want companionship. This is the situation for Mr. Cheng now.
Cheng Hao has no experience in getting along with elders, but he has a good temper and is willing to go along with Old Man Cheng, so Old Man Cheng likes him very much.
Seeing that Mr. Cheng liked him, Cheng Hao simply stayed with Mr. Cheng all day long. He did this to avoid Zhou Lingrui - Zhou Lingrui started pursuing him again these days!
Cheng Hao was blocked by her at the door of Cheng Yanqi's villa a few days ago.
However, she dared to block the door of Cheng Yanqi's villa, but it was not easy for her to come to the hospital. Cheng Hao simply stayed in the hospital and accompanied Old Man Cheng at the same time.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the banquet.
Cheng Yanqi's own villa was not big enough to hold the banquet, so he found another venue and hired someone special to host the banquet. Even the chef was the most famous, and the entire banquet was of very high standards.
The guests arrived one by one, and they were quite moved when they saw this: "It seems that Cheng Yanqi really values this son."
"How can I not take it seriously? He only has this one son."
"And this son is quite capable. He's a world champion."
"He's a nice guy, and he's willing to do charity."
…
Although many people look down on the profession of boxing, it is a different story because Cheng Hao can become a world champion. Most people admire him and even feel proud of him.
But there are always some people who think differently.
At least the people from the second branch of the Cheng family don’t like Cheng Hao at all.
"He's just a kid who dropped out of school early. Only Cheng Yanqi treats him like a treasure!"
"I heard that those boxers are all covered in injuries. I don't know how long they can live."
"At such an old age, and still not married, there might be something wrong with him."
…
In short, they just can't stand seeing others doing well, and they always talk about something even when there is nothing wrong.
However, they only dared to talk about it in private. When they really appeared in front of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yanqi, they didn't dare to say a word.
The guests arrived one after another and the banquet was about to begin. At this time, several luxury cars drove to the door.
The Zhou family got out of the car.
The Zhou family came in full force. Not only the three members of Zhou Lingrui's generation came, but also Zhou's father and mother, old man Zhou and old lady Zhou were all there.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was a little surprised.
They all knew that Zhou Lingrui had threatened to pursue Cheng Hao, but they didn't take it too seriously until all the Zhou family members arrived.
The Zhou family definitely attaches great importance to Cheng Hao, which is why all of them came here together!
Could it be that Cheng Hao and Zhou Lingrui’s engagement will be announced today?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through these people's minds, but in fact, the Zhou family came together simply because they wanted to see Cheng Hao, the person who was praised by Zhou Lingrui in various ways at home.
They didn't like Cheng Hao before and didn't allow Zhou Lingrui to mention Cheng Hao at home. Although Zhou Lingrui was unhappy, at that time the Zhou family really couldn't see anything related to Cheng Hao.
These days, that's changed.
Zhou Lingrui now tells them about Cheng Hao every day. He even got a box of Cheng Hao's boxing videos from somewhere and forces them to watch them!
In addition, they were also forced to watch Cheng Hao's boxing magazines, his interview videos, etc. Zhou Lingrui also talked a lot about Cheng Hao's construction of Chinese schools abroad and donations in China.
At first, they felt repulsed and unhappy about all this, but after seeing it more... they felt that Cheng Hao was indeed quite good.
So, they finally decided to come and see Cheng Hao together.
If possible, they would like to have a good talk with Cheng Yanqi - engagement is still a bit far off, but it is okay to let the two young children get to know each other first.
Among so many people in the Zhou family, the one who attracts the most attention is definitely Zhou Lingrui.
She was wearing a gorgeous dark red dress, which made her skin look even whiter. Her hair was beautifully styled, revealing a delicate little face. With her neck tilted back, she looked like a noble queen.
The people attending the banquet already knew that Zhou Lingrui was beautiful, but they didn’t expect her to be so beautiful. They were all stunned!
"The little princess is so beautiful!"
"Has the little princess not dressed up carefully this year? If she had dressed up like this earlier, I would have definitely pursued her."
"Even if you chase after him, what will happen? Can you really catch up?"
"I heard that the little princess fell in love with Cheng Hao when she was studying in the United States, and was forced to leave by the Zhou family and brought back."
"So it was a bit funny when Cheng Tianlin said they were boyfriend and girlfriend..."
…
The young people at the banquet were very concerned about the gossip about Zhou Lingrui and Cheng Hao. At the same time, they also felt a little sympathy for Cheng Tianlin, or those who had a bad relationship with Cheng Tianlin directly despised Cheng Tianlin.
Even if Cheng Tianlin didn't hear their discussion, he could guess what they were talking about. He stood beside his grandfather with a cold face, wishing he could slap those people in the face.
The girl he had been pursuing for a long time liked Cheng Hao, which made him lose face. What was even more unacceptable to him was that after he went home to complain, his grandmother not only did not help him get anything, but was locked up by his grandfather.
After Cheng Tianlin learned about this, he went to find his grandfather. Finally, it was from his grandfather that he learned that Cheng Hao’s disappearance was related to his grandmother.
Cheng Tianlin had not left the house these days and had always felt ashamed to see people. Now that he was brought here by his grandfather, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He blamed his grandmother for a while. If his grandmother hadn't done that, maybe Cheng Yanqi would still be helping his grandfather!
After a while, he blamed Cheng Hao again - Cheng Hao must have embarrassed him on purpose before!
He even wondered why his grandmother hadn't succeeded. If it weren't for Cheng Hao...
No matter what Cheng Tianlin thought, the atmosphere at the banquet was really warm. At the same time, Cheng Yanqi also brought Cheng Hao out.
Cheng Hao wore clothes specially designed by a designer and had his hair styled. He looked particularly tall and handsome, and gave people a sense of strength that ordinary people did not have.
Some of the girls present were excited. Even though Zhou Lingrui had said so, some of them still wanted to pursue Cheng Hao.
Cheng Yanqi's face was also full of pride. He took Cheng Hao to meet his friends, introduced him to them one by one, and also introduced Cheng Hao to others.
