Chapter 59 Rong Zhoubai's identity is actually...
Rong Zhoubai remembers it.
When the two of them were trapped in the elevator, Qu Ge said that she wanted to know his secret.
Now, he was willing to tell her everything.
But she didn't ask a single question.
Since she didn't ask, he took the initiative to ask her.
He never understood what it meant to "retreat when faced with difficulties."
Even though he knew that she might have someone else in her heart, as long as he liked her, he would fight for her.
He stared into her eyes with undisguised predatory desire.
Those peach blossom eyes that were naturally full of affection instantly made Qu Ge's cheeks blush.
She lowered her head in panic and escaped from his sight.
She had originally chosen not to ask him about it because she thought he didn't want to talk about it.
Who would have thought that now he would blame her instead.
In that case, she wouldn't be polite to him.
"Then can you tell me, is 'Rong Zhoubai' your real name?"
Hearing this, Rong Zhoubai was stunned at first, and then a meaningful curve appeared on his lips.
She really knows how to ask.
The key question was asked in one sentence.
"Yes, and no," he explained to her. "According to Canadian custom, the first name comes first, and the last name comes last."
"Surname comes last? So, your surname is actually Bai?"
"White. My father is Canadian, and our family name is White."
"White? Bai..." Qu Ge's eyes suddenly widened, "Wait, you mean the 'White' from the White Group?!"
"Um."
Rong Zhoubai was not surprised by Qu Ge's surprised reaction.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone would show the same expression when they heard his identity.
The White Group is the largest financial group in Canada standing behind the Black Orchid Group.
The White family is one of Canada's most powerful financial families, with a history dating back hundreds of years.
The White family initially started out in shipping and mining. After several generations of operation, it has now developed into a behemoth that has penetrated all areas of the country's economy, politics, and culture. It is even called "Canada's shadow royal family" by the people.
His family members act low-key, but they wield immense power behind the scenes, their influence far exceeding their apparent wealth...
Over the years, many emerging forces in Canada have repeatedly tried to challenge the White family's status, but they were always suppressed at critical moments and ultimately failed to gain a foothold.
As the true uncrowned king of Canada, the existence of the White family is itself the perfect embodiment of power and capital!
The White family's reputation has long transcended national boundaries and classes.
Even Qu Ge, a college student who has no interest in politics and finance and can't even recognize the complete map of Canada, has read news about the White family on the Internet many times.
Qu Ge had had countless speculations about Rong Zhoubai's identity.
But she never expected that there would be such a terrifying force hiding behind him!
Black orchid...
The White family...
Qu Ge was becoming increasingly confused about the complex relationship.
"You are from the White family, and He Qing is your brother-in-law... In this case, He Qing is the son-in-law of the White family?"
"Yes." Rong Zhoubai smiled. "In Chinese parlance, should he be considered a son-in-law?"
"No wonder……"
It turned out that He Qing abandoned his wife and daughter just to climb up the White family.
Poor eldest daughter of the White family, she was so blind at such a young age that she actually fell in love with such a scumbag like him!
"But if that's the case, why did He Qing dare to let you come to me?"
Qu Ge couldn't figure it out.
A son-in-law actually openly looks for an "illegitimate daughter" outside?
Moreover, he let his wife's brother do this?
This doesn't make sense.
Sensing the vigilance in Qu Ge's eyes, Rong Zhubai arched his brows and asked, "Why do you think I will definitely stand on my sister's side?"
"You are siblings, of course you have to help her..."
Halfway through his words, Qu Ge suddenly realized something.
She paused and changed the subject: "Aren't you siblings?!"
"We have different mothers from different fathers." Rong Zhoubai spread his hands. "She is fifteen years older than me. My father married my mother after her mother passed away. She and I have never gotten along since we were young."
Another secret of the wealthy family of this top tycoon.
Sure enough, the jokes circulating on the Internet always reflect reality.
As long as your father has money, you will have countless brothers and sisters...
After talking about this, Qu Ge had a rough idea of what was going on.
To put it bluntly, Rong Zhoubai and his sister don't get along, so he helps his brother-in-law find the illegitimate daughter just to make things difficult for his sister.
"What's your real name?" Qu Ge was curious again.
"Lucas." Rong Zhoubai replied, "But I still like people to call me Rong Zhoubai."
"Why?"
"My mother's last name is Rong, and she named me 'Rong Zhou'. When I was little, I was surrounded by Canadians, and everyone had English names. I thought it was cool to have a Chinese name, so I called everyone Rong Zhou. Later, when I grew up, because the last name White was too inconvenient, I told everyone my last name was Bai."
"Then your name should be Bai Rongzhou."
"Didn't I tell you, Canadians like to put the last name at the end of their names?"
"You really are... both rustic and foreign."
No wonder Qiao Xuan spent so much effort investigating Rong Zhoubai but couldn't find anything.
It turns out that the three words "Rong Zhoubai" are just a fictitious code name.
Qu Ge wanted to ask something else.
At this moment, Gus suddenly came over with a glass of wine and interrupted their conversation.
"Mr. Rong, the matter has been completed. I plan to return to Canada early tomorrow morning to report to Mr. He."
"Thank you for your hard work." Rong Zhubai patted Gus's shoulder.
Before leaving, Gus turned to look at Qu Ge.
He raised his glass to her and said, "Ms. Qu, I'll give your regards to Mr. He. I look forward to seeing you again in Canada."
Without waiting for Qu Ge to answer, Gus turned and left.
Qu Ge was stunned.
She had always assumed Gus didn't know her identity because he never paid much attention to her.
But now it seems that not only did he already know this, but he was also the one who actually worked under He Qing...
For some reason, Qu Ge suddenly felt a little uneasy as he watched his back walking away.
…
Nishikawa Yue.
Qiao Xuan sat alone in the study drinking.
He knew clearly that Qu Ge would not come back tonight.
Or maybe she will never come back...
But he still refused to give in.
He didn't believe she could be so cruel.
Last time at the top of the mountain, she had clearly told him - three years of love cannot be let go just because you want to!
They've been together for so long, how could she change her mind so easily?!
Thinking of the past, those memories were like a piece of water-soaked bluestone, weighing heavily on his heart, causing dull pain with every breath.
He tried to distract himself with work to stop thinking about Qu Ge.
But as soon as I turned on the computer, the internet was flooded with news reports about the Heilan opening reception tonight!
In those photos, Qu Ge was holding Rong Zhoubai's hand and smiling brightly.
When she stood next to another man, she glowed with a different kind of radiance, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable confidence and composure.
After leaving him, she looked even more dazzling...
So irritable!
Qiao Xian pulled open the drawer suddenly, and the antique silver cigar box was hit with a "bang".
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last smoked.
Because Qu Ge once said that she didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he quit smoking for her.
And now…
She is gone.
No one would come to take away his lighter, and no one would frown and tell him that smoking is bad for his health.
This sudden freedom is more deadly than nicotine!
The moment the lighter was lit, the flame almost licked his brow bone.
White smoke rolled past my eyes, and those annoying images were finally burned into charred holes.
However, the alcohol and cigars were still not enough to numb Qiao Xian's furious nerves.
The last words Qu Ge said to him tonight are still ringing in his ears, lingering over and over again -
"Qiao Xu'an! People like you don't deserve to be loved at all!"
Swish——
The furious man flipped everything on the table.
The glass smashed to the ground, and the wine splashed, forming a trail of blood on the ground...
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Bai Chuan reported on the phone, "Chairman, I've done the research as you instructed. Mr. He from the Black Orchid Group headquarters does have a brother-in-law who's the same age as Rong Zhoubai. He's the young master of the White family, Lucas."
"Are you sure it's him?"
"Rumor has it this guy is Canada's most dissolute playboy, uneducated and unlearned, spending his days hanging out in places like casinos and clubs. When Mr. White was alive, he had a prejudice against him and never allowed him to touch the family business. Therefore, there's very little written information about him. However, I found a recent photo of him."
As he spoke, Bai Chuan had already sent the photo to Qiao Xuan's phone.
In a blurry photo, one can vaguely see that the man in a black suit standing in the front row of the crowd is Rong Zhoubai!
"This is a photo taken at Mr. White's funeral." Bai Chuan continued, "The man and woman standing next to him are Mr. and Mrs. He from Helan, and Miss Jasmine from the White family."
Qiao Xuan looked at it carefully.
But the photo was not clear enough and I couldn't see what the two people looked like.
only……
In the mysterious Mr. He, Qiao Xuan vaguely found some feelings that were very similar to Qu Ge.
Thinking back to before, Rong Zhoubai had told him seriously that he was Qu Ge's "uncle".
An absurd guess suddenly flashed through Qiao Xuan's mind.
"Go check and see if Mr. He from Hei Lan really has an illegitimate daughter in Jiangzhou City?"
"I've already looked into this matter."
Shirakawa is efficient in his work.
Without Qiao Xuan'an's instructions, he had already gone through all of He Qing's past.
It’s a pity that He Qing erased most of his past traces in the country.
Even if Baichuan tried his best, he could only find a few bits and pieces of information.
"Mr. He's real name is He Qing, and he's indeed from Jiangzhou. He had a girlfriend during college, but the relationship ended when he went abroad to study. He Qing and his current wife met while he was studying in Canada."
"What about that woman before him?"
"I can't find it." Bai Chuan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chairman. I've checked all the files, but I still can't find out who the other person is. I also asked people to contact He Qing's college classmates, but no one said they could remember what He Qing's girlfriend's name was. According to them, He Qing rarely brought his girlfriend to any gatherings with friends during the time he was dating. He seemed to have kept this woman very secret."
"Okay, I understand."
For some reason, when listening to Bai Chuan telling these past events, Qiao Xuan'an's mind automatically replaced Qu Ge's mother, Qu Shunzhi.
