"Mom, or my dear aunt?"
Xu's mother opened her mouth wide, but couldn't utter a word. Her face was filled with fear and shame at having her secret exposed.
"Don't panic, I don't blame you." Mother Xu finally closed her mouth and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, "I don't know whether Xu Haoze blames you or not."
"Cough cough cough," Xu's mother could no longer sit still on the sofa. She wanted to stand up and explain, but her legs went weak and she slid to the ground.
It looked like she couldn't say anything for a while.
Xu Haoze was equally shocked.
Just when he knew that his family was going to push him out in exchange for benefits, he met relatives from his biological mother's side when he was feeling negative. A short time later, he heard a story about switching a dragon for a phoenix.
His biological mother is still alive and he is not a child of the Xu family.
His emotions were extremely complicated.
After all, he went abroad at a very young age. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was used to being independent and was much more stable than his peers.
He looked at this so-called cousin, who was most likely the real daughter of the Xu family.
He didn't know whether he should blame his biological mother for replacing his life, or feel sorry for his cousin for missing out on the status of a rich lady.
He also guessed almost exactly what was going on between her and the eldest son of the Wang family.
It’s hard to say.
"Changsheng." Mother Xu spoke softly, not knowing what to say. She turned her head and looked at Xu Haoze again, "Haoze."
She covered her face with her hands and said, "I'm sorry. If you want to blame someone, blame me." I don't know if this can be considered as being blinded by greed.
"Changsheng has suffered a lot following me and has been looked down upon by many people. Although she is beautiful, her status still cannot match her, and she missed out on a good family like the Wang family."
"Brother Haoze was sent abroad when he was still young. He is nominally the young master of the Xu family, but his life is not necessarily better than mine. You love me so much that you treat me like your own daughter."
Changsheng didn’t know whether the original body would blame Xu’s mother, but Changsheng actually didn’t have much hatred.
Although Xu's mother is sometimes unreasonable, she really tries her best to make Xu Changsheng live a life similar to that of a rich lady in her own way.
For example, sending them to the same aristocratic schools, or attending various training classes from an early age.
She is doing her best to give her niece the best.
But the result was not satisfactory, and her desire to climb up the social ladder deeply affected her original self.
Although part of it is out of guilt.
Xu Haoze was surprised that his cousin could understand how difficult it was for him to live in the Xu family.
Although he looks bright and handsome on the outside, everyone in the Xu family knows that he is an illegitimate child. The way they look at him, the discussions behind his back, etc., have left a deep mark on his young mind.
This is something that neither money nor status can make up for.
But he couldn't say against his will that he was not living a good life.
After all, he had good food, clothing and other necessities, and he enjoyed good educational resources since he was a child.
The aunt never treated these illegitimate children harshly in these little things, but she never stopped the servants in the house from talking about them in private, nor did she defend them at gatherings outside.
It is difficult to comment on this chaotic period of life.
For a moment, the people in the room fell silent.
Only Changsheng, her emotions were not so strong. When she estimated that the mother and son in front of her had almost digested and calmed down, she mentioned the most important thing about Xu Haoze at the moment.
"Brother Haoze, what are your plans for returning to China?" Changsheng looked at Xu Haoze with encouragement in his eyes, "Don't worry about the marriage with the Chen family." He didn't want him to have any concerns.
Xu Haoze was shocked that Changsheng even knew this, and he felt complicated for a moment.
He shook his head. When he first received the call from Xu's father asking him to return to China, he really felt that he was a member of the Xu family and wanted to use what he had learned to contribute to the family business.
In fact, his family didn't know that he didn't graduate from university. He applied for a bachelor's and master's degree program and just graduated with a master's this year. He hadn't planned to return to China so soon, but unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
"Although I've only been back for a short time and haven't joined the company yet, I've learned about the Xu family's situation indirectly, and to be honest, it's not good. I've heard about the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and I'm also familiar with the Chen family's background. I'm afraid the Xu family is determined to win this marriage."
As for why he was so sure that the Chen family would agree to a marriage with the Xu family?
After careful analysis, this marriage is very likely to succeed.
After all, if he uses it more, he can find out that he is not a useless person.
"I have the leverage over the Chen family, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Ever since Changsheng experienced the joy of being an entertainment paparazzi, she started digging around.
She has the best probes and does not need to take any risks. It is so easy to exchange these secret things for high rewards.
However, she always has a bottom line in her actions. She only looks for people with bad conduct and must not create unnecessary consequences for her great cause of cultivating immortals.
All in all, the money was well earned.
She is now considered a low-key rich woman.
Xu's mother didn't know how the child she raised suddenly became so capable, but when she thought that they were her own children, she knew there was nothing they couldn't do.
He just looked at Changsheng with shining eyes.
Xu Haoze didn't understand this cousin. He had been smart since he was young, so it seemed nothing wrong for him to be more powerful.
"It's not the Chen family, there will be other families in the future. But this also buys me a lot of time. In fact, if Auntie and the others trust me, I do have a plan to fight for the Xu family's business again."
Over the years, he has had some connections and resources abroad. The Xu family's business is mainly domestic, but now it is not working in China. It may not be impossible to find suitable foreign partners to seek new development.
As far as he knew, the Wang family had developed rapidly in recent years because the head of the Wang family was bold and far-sighted, and had embarked on the road of internationalization early on, seized the opportunity of policy support, and entered a new situation.
"The Xu family treated you so well, yet you still opened your heart to them." Her son's problem was solved, and the secret that had been weighing on her heart finally came to light. Hearing this again, Xu's mother was the first to disagree.
The Xu family is not without biological sons. Xu Haoze was labeled as an illegitimate child as soon as he entered the family. How easy could his life be?
She feels heartbroken.
"The Xu family raised me." Xu Haoze's words left Xu's mother speechless and ashamed.
"Brother Haoze, when you return, just reject the marriage proposal. Then see if the head of the Xu family agrees to let you help out in the Xu family company. If they reject you, you can just give them the plan. As for what happens after that, we can only leave it to fate."
"Once you've repaid the Xu family for raising you, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to be responsible for the Xu family's rise and fall, nor for Mom's care in her old age. Just do what you want, and I will always support you."
In his previous life, Xu Haoze was a complete cannon fodder, wasting his talent in vain.
Although the Xu family is a business family, Xu Haoze did not study financial management abroad.
He knew that he was an illegitimate child since he was old enough to understand. When he was in college, he chose engineering technology as his major and studied aerospace.
