Chapter 53 Illegitimate Child
Xu Mo never thought that the important thing Lin Jingchuan was talking about was to go to the old house to meet Fei Yunshen's illegitimate son.
Lin Jingchuan seemed to have known about this for a long time. Seeing the boy in the living room wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looking a little honest and even a little dull, he squeezed Xu Mo's hand, then walked over and greeted the boy who was about the same age as Fei Yiming.
Fei Yunshen took off his glasses, put the iPad back on the sofa, and introduced the boy next to him: "Yijie, this is your cousin and his wife."
Fei Yijie stood up and called out a little awkwardly, "Cousin Jingchuan, Cousin Xu Mo, hello."
Xu Mo calmed herself down and nodded at him: "Hello."
Fei Yijie was obviously an introvert. He didn't even dare to look her in the eye, but seemed afraid of appearing too dull, so he forced himself to say one more sentence: "Cousin-in-law and cousin-in-law are really a perfect match."
To be honest, this greeting was a bit abrupt and awkward, but it was probably the greatest social sincerity a person could show. Xu Mo smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, thank you."
Fei Yunshen took off his glasses and said from a distance: "Yijie also graduated from Hua University."
"Huazhong University?" Xu Mo was stunned. Isn't this her and Lin Jingchuan's alma mater? It seems that this kid is quite good at studying. "What's your major?"
Fei Yijie: "I'm an economics major, and I'm in the same college as my cousin."
Xu Mo's gaze drifted towards Lin Jingchuan, who had a complicated look in his eyes. Xu Mo might have vaguely understood that Fei Yiming's grades had always been poor. Although he was sunny and cheerful and capable, his mind was not on the company. Now he brought an illegitimate son who graduated from a prestigious university home to recognize his ancestors. Perhaps Fei Yunshen had plans in mind to make an heir.
Old Mrs. Fei came over with a smile on her face, leaning on a cane. She patted Fei Yijie on the shoulder and said, "Yijie, your cousin and his wife are both excellent people. You should learn from them."
Fei Yiji nodded: "Okay, I know, grandma."
Now that Mrs. Fei and Fei Yiming are not at home, the house is much quieter. You can even hear the cicadas chirping outside the window. Summer has really arrived.
At the dinner table, Fei Yunshen chatted with Lin Jingchuan about some things in the company, and occasionally said a few words to Fei Yiji.
Fei Yunshen asked, "Jingchuan, have you resolved the issue of the villagers causing unrest before the new factory opened, as you mentioned last time?"
Lin Jingchuan: "It's resolved. The factory is currently operating normally and all orders have been delivered on schedule."
Fei Yunshen nodded: "Okay."
He added a stalk of asparagus and casually asked the somewhat awkward boy sitting next to him, "Yijie, if the villagers caused trouble and the factory couldn't open, what would you do?"
Fei Yijie pondered for a moment: "This kind of thing should be because the money was not paid enough? But giving money directly is not a good idea either."
"Why not?" Fei Yunshen smiled.
"Human nature is always greedy. If you give it this time, they will only ask for more next time," Fei Yijie said. "In this situation, it is better to talk to the village chief first. The villagers listen to the village chief, and it is much easier to deal with the village chief than to deal with the entire village."
Fei Yunshen nodded, and Lin Jingchuan also looked at Fei Yiji twice. The child was dressed simply and had an awkward posture, but he seemed to have a good brain.
Lin Jingchuan couldn't help but think of Fei Yiming's impatience and impulsiveness, and his hand that was picking up the food paused.
Mrs. Fei smiled and said, "Yijie, I don't spend much time with you. What do you like? Tell me."
Fei Yijie held the bowl with both hands and smiled: "I like reading, especially history."
Xu Mo raised her eyebrows and drank all the crucian carp soup in the bowl.
On the way home, Xu Mo asked Lin Jingchuan: "Whose child is Fei Yijie, uncle?"
Lin Jingchuan drove out of the villa area: "It should be with a female student. She was drunk at the time."
"Married?"
"Probably. When I first started my business, I had a lot of drinking parties," Lin Jingchuan said. "Maybe there were some unavoidable factors at the time."
"What about his mother?"
"It should be gone now." Lin Jingchuan said.
"So your uncle has been raising him all these years?" Xu Mo raised her eyebrows. "Do your aunt and Yiming know about this?"
Lin Jingchuan: "My aunt may know, but Yiming probably doesn't know. He has an impulsive personality and would be furious if he knew."
Xu Mo nodded. "Yes, he was originally the only child who was loved by everyone. When he grew up, a half-brother who he had never met suddenly appeared and wanted to divide the family property with him. No one would accept it so quickly."
"You figured it out?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Xu Mo said, "Didn't you say Yiming doesn't like farming and doesn't want to take over the family business? Yijie is well-educated, obedient, and knows how to obey his elders. Your uncle is old, so who will take over such a large family business? Of course, we will consider him as the successor."
Lin Jingchuan looked ahead calmly: "That's right, after Yiming left the company to start his own business, he told me about Yijie's existence and told me that he wanted Yijie to join the company."
"Have you told Yiming?"
Lin Jingchuan shook his head: "Not yet."
"What do you think?"
Lin Jingchuan was silent for a few seconds and said, "Some time ago, he talked to me about the shares he had promised me. He said he wanted me to help him train Yijie, and when the succession issue was settled, he would give me the shares."
"Do you believe what he said?"
"I don't believe it. He only says these words." Lin Jingchuan half closed his eyes.
Xu Mo tilted her head to look at him. There was a hint of fatigue in the man's eyes. She gently held his hand: "But he begged you, because Yiming would definitely not agree to this. Only you can do it. And you can't refuse a loved one who raised you, right?"
Lin Jingchuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Two weeks later at the project report meeting, Xu Mo indeed met Fei Yiji.
He had changed his attire. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. He took off his black-framed glasses and put on Haggis's light blue shirt and trousers. His whole temperament became much more refined. Coupled with his good facial features, he looked like a nobleman.
Wu Siyue secretly asked Xu Mo: "Who is that? He's quite handsome."
Xu Mo shook her head: "I don't know."
Han Yan looked at her without saying anything. After finishing her report, she smiled and asked President Ou who that person was.
Mr. Ou shook his head and said, "A new project assistant."
Xu Mo followed him out of the meeting room and was about to get off the elevator when she suddenly saw a boy in a black T-shirt and a baseball cap rushing out of the elevator angrily.
Xu Mo recognized who the man was and followed him after only a second of hesitation.
Sure enough, the boy walked straight to Lin Jingchuan's office, the door slammed loudly, and then there was the sound of glass hitting the ground.
Xu Mo's heart was pounding as she pushed open the door of Lin Jingchuan's office.
Fei Yiming pointed at the man sitting at the desk with red eyes:
"Lin Jingchuan, are you doing this to me and my mother?!"
