Chapter 048 Chapter 48
Yuan Zhiyi began to tell the story slowly.
Business marriages are nothing more than this, a man and a woman get married, give birth to an heir who represents the eternal union of the two families, and no one will ask what they do in private. They only need to show their love in front of the media and ensure that the stock price will not be affected.
Lin Jinghe is the product of the marriage between the Yuan and Lin families.
Before Lin Jinghe was twelve years old, because of the serious internal struggles in the family, in order to prevent Lin Jinghe from being accidentally hurt, he was raised in the countryside.
After the age of twelve, the new heir of the enterprise group fought through the siege, the restless people were dealt with, and those who left left. Lin Jinghe was finally taken back to the city and started his elite education as an heir.
"Jinghe is really well-behaved. When he just came back, I asked him to go to the old house of the Yuan family. He was led by a servant. He was small, with big eyes, and a little fear and more curiosity on his face. His voice was very childish. When he called me grandpa, my heart melted."
Speaking of Lin Jinghe, Yuan Zhiyi's tone softened. He recalled the scene at that time, and his eyes gradually became moist.
"After returning home, Jinghe started his own education as an heir. He was really good. He did not receive any systematic elite education in the countryside. After returning home, he quickly caught up with the progress and even did better than his peers.
"He had good grades. In school, teachers liked him and classmates admired him. We never had to worry about his studies. He always got first place.
"Not only in school, but even in our circle, he is the child of other parents."
Yuan Zhiyi recalled Lin Jinghe with a smile, and the smile on his face disappeared as he spoke:
"We gave him the best education and provided him with the best living conditions. Both the Yuan family and the Lin family will belong to him in the future. He was born at a point that most people will never reach in their lifetime. He is the proud son of heaven in the eyes of others.
"But even so, why did he choose to commit suicide?"
Zhou Bingwen:?
Zhou Bingwen was shocked.
They had just met Lin Jinghe a few days ago, and he was obviously alive and well?
Yuan Zhiyi's eyes were filled with tears, and he was choked when he spoke again.
"He smiled and showed his first-place score the day before, and vowed that he must get a good score in the college entrance examination this time. The next day, the police asked us to claim his body." Yuan Zhiyi wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.
"By doing this, is he worthy of me, his grandfather, the family that has been nurturing him, and the people who have always loved him!"
"He is ignorant, really ignorant!"
Yuan Zhiyi sobbed and stomped his crutches hard.
Zhou Bingwen listened for a while, frowned slightly, and waited until Yuan Zhiyi calmed down a little before asking: "Well, Mr. Yuan, forgive me for asking one more question, have you investigated the reasons for your grandson's suicide? Ah, of course it was not the direct cause of his death, but the psychological reasons, the fuse that made him have the idea of suicide and carry it out. "
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Yuan Zhiyi became even more angry and said harshly: "What could he be upset about? We have given him the best education, the best resources, the best life, and he will inherit huge wealth in the future. What else can he be dissatisfied with! He committed suicide. Did he ever think about what we who are still alive would do! What an unfilial son, what an unfilial son! We raised him to this age in vain! "
As soon as the voice fell, a crisp slap sounded, and Yuan Zhiyi's face was hit to one side, and the left side of his face quickly became red and swollen.
Yuan Zhiyi was stunned, and Zhou Bingwen was also stunned.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Gu Yanyi slowly took a sip of tea from the teacup.
Before Yuan Zhiyi could react, another slap sounded, and Yuan Zhiyi's right face was also hit.
Zhou Bingwen looked at Gu Yanyi in horror and winked at him frantically.
The person opposite was the former head of the Yuan family after all. It would be not good to slap him directly, not to mention that the contracts of both of them were still in the hands of the other's brokerage company. .
Even in order to pay less penalty, Gu Yanyi must remain calm!
Gu Yanyi shrugged at Zhou Bingwen innocently, spread his hands and indicated: I really did nothing.
While the two of them were communicating silently, Yuan Zhiyi was slapped four times in a row. His haggard face became red and swollen, as if he had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Yuan Zhiyi could no longer hold his crutches. In order to avoid being beaten again, he covered his cheeks tightly with his hands and looked around in fear.
Gu Yanyi finished the tea in his hand, put down the teacup, and said slowly: "That's enough. The old man can't stand being beaten. It will be troublesome if something happens. "He has to clean up the mess."
A cold snort came from the void, and a red figure slowly appeared beside Yuan Zhiyi.
It was Yuan Cuilan.
Zhou Bingwen was stunned and asked, "Sister Yuan, are you back?"
Yuan Cuilan went to deal with the affairs of the children in the special school and had been away from home for a while. She appeared here today, so she should have dealt with it.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be a lot more radishes in the house.
Fortunately, the villa has been expanded, so it is not too small to live in. At most, she can prepare some glass beads or other children's toys for the radishes to cling to.
Yuan Zhiyi looked at the person who suddenly appeared behind him in shock. The female ghost shrank back in fear until she was in a corner. She had nowhere to retreat and could only look at Gu Yanyi for help.
Yuan Cuilan sneered at Yuan Zhiyi and said, "I'm sorry, old man. Ever since I was tortured and killed, my temper has been hard to control. I sometimes have the idea of killing people. Now I can only slap you a few times to calm down. You just have to bear with it for a while. After all, I'm dead."
Yuan Zhiyi: "You...you...I...he..." He stuttered for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Gu Yanyi saw that Yuan Cuilan had almost let out her anger, so he stood up and said, "Grandpa Yuan, let's go and meet your grandson. He can answer all your doubts. "
...
Yuan Zhiyi was helped out by the driver. He was frightened and beaten, and his legs were extremely weak.
The driver saw the red and swollen face of his boss and wanted to ask if he should prepare an ice pack for him. After looking at the other person's expression for a moment, he swallowed his words.
If he wanted to keep his job, he'd better pretend that he didn't notice anything.
Gu Yanyi also got into Zhou Bingwen's car. After the door closed, Yuan Cuilan showed up and couldn't help cursing: "That old man, a few slaps were too easy for him. Look at what he said, are they human words!
" "What do you mean by an unfilial child? What do you mean by raising him to this age in vain? According to his words, the poor child was just a tool for their family. What he regretted was not that the child died, but that the time and resources invested in the child in the early stage were wasted!
"Since you are raising a child with utilitarian purposes, don't keep saying that it's for his own good, and then put all the blame on the child until the child dies!"
The opportunity for Yuan Cuilan to become a fierce ghost was because she witnessed the child being tortured and killed, and she became a fierce ghost to protect her daughter. For Yuan Cuilan, children are her obsession, so naturally she dislikes family members like Yuan Zhiyi the most.
After she finished speaking, she spat, "None of these wealthy families are good people!"
Zhou Bingwen couldn't help but joked, "Sister Yuan, if the people in the Shen family heard you, they would be furious."
Yuan Cuilan pouted, "The Shen family is a genetic mutation, so they are not considered wealthy families."
Gu Yan asked, "Have the things over there been resolved?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Cuilan sighed, "It's all over, the damned are dead. Even though those children have incomplete souls and are difficult to communicate with, , they know better than anyone what they have suffered, and they really have no mercy at all."
She said and hesitated: "However, in terms of the number of people..."
Gu Yanyi waved his hand proudly: "It's not a big problem! My villa has been expanded, it's enough!"
Yuan Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was still worried about what to do with the more than one hundred children. I'm so sorry for you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanyi's expression froze, and he couldn't help but raised his voice: "How many did you say?"
"One hundred and eighty. Mr. Gu, you have just promised, you can't go back on your word."
Gu Yanyi looked at the rare cunning expression on Yuan Cuilan's face, and felt deeply that he should find something for Zhang Qingyu to do, so that she would not teach the monsters in the house the intrigue skills of the deep mansions all day long.
Look at all these innocent and deceitful people... Ugh, what have all these innocent ghosts and monsters become!
...
The car drove away from the city and headed for the county town next to City D, and finally stopped in a remote village.
Three or four years ago, the road connecting this small village to the county town was still a yellow mud road. Later, the villagers saw that the traffic was really inconvenient, so they donated money to build a better road. With
the convenient transportation, life in the village has become easier. The villagers took the local specialties from the mountains to the county town to buy. Some villagers with business acumen made more money and began to build their own houses in the village. The whole appearance of the village has gradually changed.
Two cars stopped at the gate of the village in succession, attracting some villagers to watch.
Gu Yanyi and the other two got off the car, and Yuan Zhiyi followed them out.
His legs were not very flexible. Although the village had built an asphalt road, it was not well maintained. In the hot summer, the car had been running back and forth, and the road had become bumpy.
After the driver parked the car, he hurried to support Yuan Zhiyi.
If the boss got into trouble here, he would definitely be the first to be blamed.
Yuan Zhiyi was supported, and as he walked, he looked around. The more he looked, the uglier his face became.
"They... why did they leave Jinghe here?! How can people live in a place like this!"
A villager who was watching the excitement replied: "Why is it not suitable for living? We have always lived well. The past few years are considered good. The road is open and we can sell things outside the village. The situation was even worse a few years ago!"
The villagers' words made Yuan Zhiyi's face darker.
Gu Yan smiled: "Your grandson's place is less than two hours away from our family. Why don't you think of coming to see it?"
Yuan Zhiyi explained: "My daughter and son-in-law said that they have settled the child well... and I was busy with family affairs at the time and couldn't get away at all!"
Gu Yan shook his head. It would be better to let this kind of person die than to let him admit that he was wrong.
The group walked all the way to the village until they reached the edge of the forest and stopped in front of an abandoned adobe house.
"Your grandson is here."
