“爸，半年前的信是爷奶让人送过来的，他们现在落魄了，这是将你喊回来接济他们，你真的要带他们去M国吗？”崔思为问他。
崔致远暂时还没做出决定，说着：“我先找你小姑，将这些年的事情经过全部打听清楚，我再安排决定吧。”
When he was young, he had a gentle personality and adhered to the principle of "less trouble is worse than more" in his dealings with things. Even if he had different ideas from his parents and brothers, he never argued or conflicted with them. It was not until Gong Wantang filed for divorce and pointed out the grievances she had suffered in the marriage and was disappointed in him that he suddenly realized that he was wrong.
Later, something happened to the Gong family and Gong Wantang died in a fire. At that moment, he was filled with remorse. It was his fault that he did not handle the family affairs well. It was his attitude that made her so disappointed and indirectly killed her.
Later, he was in self-blame and regret for a long time, and gradually recognized the true faces of his parents and brothers. Only then did he realize that he was really wrong. He had personally sent his beautiful and gentle wife back to her parents' home and pushed her into the sea of fire.
Gong Wantang's death, his family's selfishness, meanness and cold-bloodedness were like thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and the pain made him lose all hope.
Later, he broke with his parents and brothers. He took nothing with him except the memories of Gong Wantang, and went to the other side of the ocean, leaving this sad place.
He went to a foreign country alone to work hard. Although he had friends to help him at the beginning, the process was more difficult than he had imagined. Only he himself knew the hardships and fatigue he had endured in the past twenty years.
After years of struggling outside, his marriage to Leung Wing-man, and all the cruel realities, Cui Zhiyuan's personality has long changed and is very different from when he was young.
Cui Zhiyuan already had some resentment towards his parents in his heart. Now thinking about what happened to his younger sister, he was very disappointed and heartbroken with his parents. He had also guessed the purpose of their contacting him, but the favor he should have repaid had been repaid twenty years ago, and he did not owe his parents anything.
He only owed three people, one was Gong Wantang, one was their daughter, and one was his younger sister.
"Siwei, let me ask you a question."
"Dad, you say."
Cui Siwei saw that his father was worried and thought he must have something important to tell him.
"What do you think of the family fortune?"
This was the first time Cui Zhiyuan told him this. He didn't say it before because he was still young and it wouldn't be too late to talk about it when he grew up.
Cui Zhiyuan has not had an easy time living abroad these years, but he has indeed built a career with his own ability. Although he is not the top one in the Chinese community, he is considered to be quite capable. After experiencing countless difficulties and betrayals, he has become more low-key and unpretentious, and outsiders cannot figure out his true financial resources.
"Dad, why are you saying this?" Cui Siwei didn't expect him to say this. He thought he was going to talk about the Cui family.
Cui Zhiyuan was silent for several seconds, then said, "You should know about my experience marrying your mother. It wasn't my intention to marry her. It was your grandparents who shamelessly schemed and forced me to do it. They were the ones pushing for it, but your mother also willingly cooperated."
"When I was forced to marry your mother, I made it clear to her that I would give her the title of Madam Cui, give her face, and ensure that Liang Siyao would have no worries about food and clothing before she came of age, but she and the Liang family were not allowed to interfere in anything about my company."
"At the time, I didn't trust your grandparents, uncle, or your mother, so I signed a legally binding agreement with them."
"It was clearly written in the agreement at the time that all the assets I worked hard to earn would be handled by me personally and had nothing to do with anyone in the Liang family unless I voluntarily donated them."
"You've been very smart since you were little. You should be very clear about my attitude towards your mother and sister. I believe I have never wronged them. At least, I have never been stingy or harsh with them in terms of their financial life."
"Now that Siyao is getting older, your mother has become more thoughtful. She has mentioned this to me many times, both openly and covertly, that she wants me to give her and Siyao shares in the company. Of course, your grandparents are behind this. They have nothing now, and they're afraid that one day your uncle and I will kick them out and leave them on the streets."
"Your mother mentioned it many times, but I didn't agree. It's not that I can't come up with the money, but I have always had a rift and resentment towards the Liang family, and I am also very disappointed in your sister."
"You know them well. Given their temperament and abilities, no matter how much money and assets you give them, they will eventually squander it all. Then they'll come back to suck your blood and cause trouble."
Cui Siwei knew all about these family matters. Although he was young, he was very sensible. He said, "Dad, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. You've worked hard to build your property, so you can decide how to manage it yourself. Also, my sister is stupid and has no ability other than finding fault and causing trouble. No matter how much you give her, it will all end up in the hands of others. It's right not to give her anything."
Seeing that he had seen through everything at such a young age, but Liang Yongwen couldn't, Cui Zhiyuan felt a complicated but relieved feeling. "Siwei, the business that Dad has worked hard for will be handed over to you in the future. However, Dad did something wrong in the past. I owe your aunt and even more so the other two people. I want to make amends to them."
"Dad, the other two people? Who are they? Are they grandpa and grandma?" Cui Siwei asked him.
Cui Zhiyuan shook his head: "No."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cui Siwei wisely stopped asking, "Dad, since you owe me, then you should make amends. No matter what arrangements you make, you don't need to discuss it with me, Mom, or my sister."
"Also, regarding my sister, you just need to raise her until she's eighteen according to the agreement. When she turns eighteen, let her work to earn money to support herself. If she can't support herself, Mom will support her."
"If Mom makes a fuss, I'll come and talk to her. Anyway, I quarrel with my sister every day and I don't like her anymore. If I stop you from giving them money, they can't do anything to me."
Cui Zhiyuan's greatest comfort is that his son is smart, sensible and filial, completely different from the rebellious, ignorant and brainless Liang Siyao.
"Dad, the two people you owe, are they in Kyoto?" Cui Siwei asked again.
"exist."
Cui Zhiyuan went to the old house of the Gong family in the afternoon. Everything there had changed. The once spacious house had become a dilapidated repair shop.
The fire at the Gong family's house burned for a whole day. The police searched the area carefully countless times and finally confirmed that no member of the Gong family had escaped. They also searched all the other properties of the Gong family that they knew of, but found no trace of the Gong family. It took him a long time to accept the fact that all the members of the Gong family were dead.
But now, their family is living well, Wantang has given birth to his daughter, but she has never contacted him, and they have not asked for the land of the Gong family's ancestral home back.
Cui Zhiyuan no longer looks at things as naively as he did when he was young. He has now guessed that the fire in the Gong family was no accident. The Gong family members did not show up after the incident that year, there must have been a compelling reason, perhaps involving certain powerful forces.
