Chapter 38: The Truth

"But you just told me a few days ago that he is my own brother who has been separated for twenty years!" Xiao Rubing's eyes widened, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"For now, I'll tell you everything. Xiao Tengfei motioned for Xiao Rubing to sit beside him, and then told Xiao Rubing about his plan with Sun Zhenbang.

"So, Xiao Yu is just a stand-in you found to take charge of the Xiao family in our place?" Xiao Rubing understood everything, "You just want to use him as a puppet, is this fair to him?"

"On the surface, it is like this, but even so, he can get a lifetime of glory and wealth, and I don't know how many times better it will be compared to his current life. Xiao Tengfei said.

"Does Xiao Yu know all this?" asked Xiao Rubing.

There was silence in the living room.

"You haven't told him yet, have you? How do you know that he will definitely agree?" Xiao Rubing asked as he stared at Xiao Tengfei's eyes.

"I don't think it's good for him, and it's impossible for him not to agree. Xiao Tengfei said.

"Is that really the case? If it's really impossible for him not to agree, why don't you dare to tell him the truth?" Xiao Rubing sneered slightly, "He has the right to know all this!"

"I'm also annoyed, I just took it all as a test for him......"

Yet he paid with his life. Xiao Rubing said.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Xiao Tengfei had a painful look in his eyes, "If I had known that this would be the case, I wouldn't have let them come to Hong Kong Island anyway." ”

Xiao Rubing stopped talking, and the scene fell silent again.

Sun Zhenbang couldn't bear to see his master in such pain, and wanted to speak out to defend Xiao Tengfei, but was stopped by Xiao Tengfei. He knew that he was very wrong and was willing to accept his daughter's torture.

"Dad, don't be upset. My daughter knows that you are doing all this for me. I am willing to provoke the pillars of the group and keep this family business for our Xiao family. Xiao Rubing was silent for a long time and finally said. She knew in her heart that the most fundamental reason why Xiao Tengfei designed it like this was because of herself.

"You are a girl, how can I bear to put such a heavy burden on your shoulders? And sooner or later you will have to marry, and even if I agree, the other uncles and uncles in the family will not agree. ”

"They don't agree, so they fight. Xiao Rubing said stubbornly, "It's a big deal that I compete fairly with them, I don't believe that I will not be able to compete with them." ”

"Good boy," Xiao Tengfei patted the back of his daughter's hand, "In fact, in Dad's eyes, you will always be a little princess who has not grown up and needs to be loved by her father." Dad hopes that you can live a relaxed and happy life, and find a fast son-in-law for Dad as soon as possible, and I don't want to see you work so hard for the family business. ”

"I know Dad is for my good. Xiao Rubing said softly, "But now that Xiao Yu is more than lucky, Dad, your plan can't go on, so you have to think of a remedy." ”

"That's why I sat all night and didn't go to the chief executive. If I now admit to the outside world that it was my own son who disappeared in the boat accident, it would put more pressure on the police to continue the search, but we would have no way out. In case Xiao Yu really has an accident, then ......"

Xiao Tengfei stopped here and didn't say any more, but Xiao Rubing knew what his father meant. The top priority now is to confirm Xiao Yu's life and death, if Xiao Yu is really dead, it's a big deal that Xiao Tengfei came forward to clarify the previous rumors, then for them, there is still a trace of the possibility of a turnaround. If a suitable stand-in can be found in the future, then there will be another "real Xiao Zhanhong".

Although this is very unfair to Xiao Yu, but the matter has come to this, Xiao Tengfei has to prepare for the worst. For Xiao Yu and Su Qing, he could only try to compensate through money or some other means.

The villa fell silent again, everyone was thinking about their hearts, and a voice came out of the corner of the living room: "Can you tell me what kind of retreat you want?"

Xiao Tengfei and the other three were taken aback, and they all looked in the direction where the sound came from. In the shadow of the corner of the living room, there was a figure standing faintly, and due to the angle and light, they had not even noticed anyone standing there before.

Sun Zhenbang hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Xiao Tengfei and Xiao Rubing, and shouted: "Who are you? Why did you appear here?

The villa was quiet, no one rushed in. Sun Zhenbang couldn't help but be shocked, and trembling his hands touched the phone next to the sofa.

"You don't have to work in vain, the bodyguards outside have been knocked unconscious by me, and no one will hear your shouts. The figure said coldly, "I just hope you can answer my question head-on." ”

"Xiao Yu, is that you?" Xiao Rubing asked in a trembling voice, and walked past Sun Zhenbang to the center of the living room, only a few meters away from the figure in the shadows. After getting along with Xiao Yu for many days, Xiao Rubing was already very familiar with Xiao Yu's voice, and when she heard Xiao Yu speak at this time, she couldn't help but be relieved from the shock and panic at the beginning, and was replaced by an uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Is it really Xiao Yu? You're still alive? Great! How did you find here?" Xiao Tengfei also stood up from the sofa, and asked with a trembling voice.

The figure in the corner of the wall moved, took a step forward, revealing Xiao Yu's cold face: "As I expected, Old Man Xiao, it seems that your identity is not simple." If I hadn't deliberately failed to show up all night, I really wouldn't have been able to track Miss Xiao to find you. I heard all of your conversations just now, so don't you have anything you want to explain to me?"

When Xiao Tengfei saw Xiao Yu appear, he had mixed feelings in his heart, but he was more happy from the bottom of his heart. The face that was originally extremely haggard due to regret and worry also regained some color, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay if you're okay." It's a long story, so let's sit down and talk about it. ”

A few people sat back on the sofa, and Xiao Tengfei said: "Actually, I did hide my true identity from you. My real identity is the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Shaw Group and the current head of the Shaw family. Our Xiao family is one of the top 10 richest families on Hong Kong Island. ”

"Oh, no wonder......" Xiao Yu remembered all kinds of doubts after coming to Hong Kong Island, and they were all answered at this time, "But I don't understand, in a family as big as yours, how to distribute property and inheritance rights is an internal matter of your family, why did you pull me in?" Although Xiao Yu heard the conversation between Xiao Tengfei and Xiao Rubing just now, he was still a little at a loss about the cause and effect of the whole thing.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you all the ins and outs of the whole thing today. Xiao Tengfei coughed, waved his hand to stop Sun Zhenbang's dissuasion, and continued, "Regarding the disappearance of my own son, I didn't lie to you. I originally had a son named Xiao Zhanhong. Twenty years ago, he was only six years old, and one day he went out to play and never came back. In the past 20 years, in addition to taking care of the family business, I have spent all my time and energy on finding my son, but again and again I hope for disappointment. ”

Xiao Tengfei thought of his biological son, and his mood involuntarily fell again.

"In recent years, my health has deteriorated, so I need to arrange an heir for our family. We have three brothers in the Xiao family, I now only have one biological daughter, and the second Tenglong gave birth to two sons, Zhanwei and Zhanbo, the third Tengyun has no heirs, and he has not been interested in the family industry since he was a child, and has always been reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the group company. ”

"Most of our wealthy families on Hong Kong Island have a tradition of passing on men to women, not to mention that I don't want Rubing to carry too heavy a burden. So I can only choose one of the two nephews, Zhanwei and Zhanbo, to inherit our Xiao family's family business, and almost everyone in the family and the company also thinks that the heir is the only one. ”

"In the past two years, I have placed the two of them in the position of senior executives of the group, originally just to familiarize them with the operation of the group, and at the same time, I also have the idea of which of the two is better. But they let me down so much. ”

Xiao Tengfei sighed, took the tea handed over by Sun Zhenbang, took a sip, and continued: "Since the two of them entered the company, they have been forming gangs, fighting openly and secretly, and making the company a miasma. Originally, although I was dissatisfied with the two of them, after all, they were all my own nephews, and the Xiao family could only be passed on to them in the future. But unexpectedly, a year ago, I accidentally discovered the truth of an incident. When I learned the truth, I didn't know how sad and angry I was. At the same time, I also made up my mind that I would never pass on the family business to the two sons of the second family!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Tengfei suddenly became excited and coughed again and again. Sun Zhenbang hurriedly handed over the teacup and stopped: "Master, don't say it." These things can be borne by us old fellows, so why tell them?"

"Nope. All the while, we do what we think is right, and always keep them in the dark in the name of love. Xiao Tengfei said in a firm tone, "But after Xiao Yu's incident, I think they have the right to know the truth." ”

Xiao Rubing gently patted Xiao Tengfei's back and said, "Dad, you speak slowly, don't get excited." What is the truth that makes you so angry, and why did you never tell me?"
