Chapter 1 Funeral Disputes
The sky was overcast and the clouds were low. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info seems to have a rainstorm coming, but it has not rained a drop of rain for a long time, and the ultra-low air pressure makes people feel bored and breathless.
In a villa in Bihu District, where the wealthy of S City gather, the atmosphere is also very depressing and heavy.
White flags hang on the tall iron courtyard gate of the Changjia villa, and various wreaths and flower baskets are lined up in the garden, from the iron courtyard gate to the white marble steps in front of the gate.
A slim black long skirt shows off Xu Qianyu's concave and convex figure, although she is over forty years old, but with long-term pampering and proper maintenance, she looks much younger than her real age.
Her slender fingers gently brushed the huge black diamond ring on her hand, and her eyes glanced at the photo of her deceased husband placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and there was not much sadness in her heart.
It's been twenty-three years since she was 18 years old with that man, and it's been seventeen years since she turned into an upright Mrs. Chang, and Lao Chang can be regarded as obedient to herself, but as a rich man's wife, where is it happy to be a rich man by herself?
The reception outside seemed to be a little noisy, was something wrong? Xu Qianyu walked outside curiously.
A stout young man in an expensive black suit ran quickly behind her, her son and the only heir to all the family business, Chang Zhaowu.
"Mom!" Chang Zhaowu's face was a little restless, he lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of letting others hear, "Chang Zhaowen is here!"
"Chang Zhaowen ......" A look of disdain flashed on Xu Qianyu's face, "That rabbit cub will come if he comes, are you still afraid that he won't make it?"
"But after all, he is the eldest son of the Chang family, will he come to divide the family property?" Speaking of this Chang Zhaowu, he is still a little weak-hearted, Chang Zhaowen is his half-brother, he is the son of his father and his original wife. Speaking of which, he Chang Zhaowu's own mother is just a junior, and now he has all the family business alone, which seems to be a bit unreasonable.
"The eldest son?" Xu Qianyu laughed, "The eldest son has a P use, and his dead ghost father has never taken him seriously!"
The guests at the reception were talking to each other, occasionally casting curious glances at the young man at the door.
Chang Dongsheng, who passed away, was a merry man, taking advantage of the convenience of opening restaurants and restaurants at home to look for young and beautiful waiters everywhere, and as soon as his wife died, he brought back the woman who was raised outside the bread, and also brought back the son raised outside, who was only a few months younger than the son raised by the original wife.
Some guests couldn't help but talk out loud: "It's not that I said that the dead are not, this old man is really not very authentic, his wife died early, and it is not a bad thing for a man to remarry, but the son born by the original partner is also his own flesh and blood, and the original partner swept his three-year-old son out of the door as soon as he entered the door, which is too ......."
"It's not! I heard that because of this incident, the old man Chang was angry and directly had a cerebral infarction......
"It turns out that Old Man Chang suddenly became ill because of this! I said, Chang's secret cucumber with sauce is so famous, why is it suddenly gone! It turns out that he was suddenly sick with anger, and he didn't have time to explain the secret recipe!"
"Yes!" everyone felt sorry for the lost secret cucumber, "when I first ate it twenty years ago...... It's refreshing, it's delicious...... I always remember it now! The old Chang family was able to buy these properties in S City, and it was all because of the capital earned by the old man Chang's pickled cucumber. ”
"You say, my father is dead, is the eldest son coming to the door to take the family property?" Some people have a wave of expectation in their words, the drama of wealthy families and fighting for family property is the best, anyway, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.
I heard that this eldest was sent outside by his father to foster care at the age of three, and he has not come back for so many years, what feelings can Lao Chang have for him, how can he leave him any family property?"
"I heard that this Mrs. Chang is a powerful character now...... Shh
There was a sound of hurried high heels hitting the marble floor, and Xu Qianyu and Chang Zhaowu's mother and son rushed to the gate like a gust of wind, where a light man in a black shirt was waiting for them.
"Chang Zhaowen, what are you doing here? It's none of your business here!" Chang Zhaowu preemptively struck.
Chang Zhaowen slowly raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who was about the same age as him, speaking of which this person was his younger brother, but they had never met for so many years. His only vague memory of Chang Zhaowu is that on the seventh day after his mother's burial, his father held another grand wedding at the urging of Xu Qianyu, and Chang Zhaowu was the one who wore a white suit and was a little flower boy at the wedding.
Now when we meet again, he is still wearing a suit, but he has changed to a black suit, and the last time we met was his father's wedding, and now it is his father's funeral.
Chang Zhaowen pulled the hem of his shirt, he has not had a good life over the years, they all said that if he has a stepmother, he will have a stepfather, Xu Qianyu entered on the day, he was sent to his cousin's house for foster care, and his father gave his cousin's family 500 yuan a month for foster care, which may not be a small number in the year, but after so many years, the price has already increased several times, but the foster care fee has not risen at all, and it has completely stopped when he turned eighteen years old.
If you don't have any income, you can't still rely on your cousin's house to eat and drink for nothing, Chang Zhaowen can only go out to work, and now he is doing chores in the back kitchen of a small restaurant with food and accommodation.
Even if his father has no affection for him, he is his biological father after all, and as a son, he should always send him on his last journey.
But it's sad to say, he doesn't even have a suit to wear to the funeral, and even the black shirt on his body is borrowed from his friend Fan Jianqiang, which is one size larger and doesn't fit well.
"You call me Chang Zhaowen, why can't I come?" Chang Zhaowen looked at Chang Zhaowu and said without humility or arrogance.
"You-" Chang Zhaowu was a little overwhelmed by his choking and self-conscious loss.
"You are still surnamed Chang, but what about your surname Chang?" Xu Qianyu's high octave voice was extremely harsh, "There are more people with the surname Chang in this world, if they all come, we won't be able to receive them!"
"But he is Chang's own son, can he compare with ordinary people with the surname Chang?" Finally, some of the guests couldn't stand it and were upset for Chang Zhaowen.
"What about my own son? What is the difference between me and an ordinary person after breaking off the relationship?"
"What severing the relationship?" Chang Zhaowen raised his eyebrows, wouldn't he? Although he didn't expect anything from that father, he still didn't want to believe that he would do it.
Xu Qianyu smiled proudly, fortunately she was smart enough, and when Lao Yu was stunned by the wind next to her pillow, she took out a document that had been prepared for many years: "This is the statement of severing the father-son relationship, your father, no, it should be Mr. Chang Dongsheng who pays you child support until you become an adult, and then automatically dissolves the father-son relationship with you, and there is his autograph here." ”
Wow, Lao Chang is really ruthless, and he directly cut off the relationship with his own son! There was a sound of discussion in the crowd again.
Xu Qianyu decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, she took out a second document, and shook it at Chang Zhaowen: "This is his will, the family's restaurants and restaurants and other business premises are left to Chang Zhaowu, and other real estate and movable property are left to me...... Although this will has nothing to do with you, if you want to read it, I can also let you study it carefully, so that you can die!"
Chang Zhaowen shook his head, he didn't take the will in Xu Qianyu's hand, although he was poor, he was also poor and ambitious, and he didn't come for any inheritance this time.
Chang Zhaowen pushed away Chang Zhaowu, who was blocking in front of him, and strode into the mourning hall, and the lively guests on the side also consciously made a passage for him.
In front of the auditorium, Chang Dongsheng's posthumous photo was placed in the center of the spiritual seat, and he looked familiar and unfamiliar in the photo. Chang Zhaowen knelt directly on the cyan cushion in front of the spiritual throne and kowtowed three times to the last photo. Then he got up and walked out of the mourning hall without looking back.
No matter what others do to him, he just needs to do what he wants. It is your business that you have thousands of family wealth, and I will create a world with my bare hands in the future!
"Don't go, don't ......" An old voice made Chang Zhaowen's body tremble violently, could it be ...... He immediately turned around, and in the corridor at the end of the mourning hall, the nanny was pushing a wheelchair, and an aging old man in the wheelchair stretched out his hand to Chang Zhaowen.
"Grandpa!" Chang Zhaowen's heart was hot, and he rushed forward, grasping the old man's dry hand.
"Is it Arwen?" the old man's eyes were cloudy, and he tried to see his grandson clearly, but he could only see a vague shadow.
"It's me, it's me!" Chang Zhaowen knelt down beside the old man, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Dongsheng he...... Dizzy," the old man's withered hand held Chang Zhaowen's hand tightly, "Blame me, blame me for having no way to teach my son!"
"It's Old Man Chang!" the onlookers let out an exclamation, and the scene seemed to be getting more and more exciting. But some people also wondered, although Old Man Chang seems to be in poor health, he is still conscious, why is the secret recipe still lost?
"After all, you are a descendant of the Chang family, your father is ruthless, but grandpa has something to give you......"
"Old man, don't mess around!" Xu Qianyu staggered to the side of the wheelchair, her face was a little hideous, "This Chang family's family business is all based on martial arts!"
But when she saw what Old Man Chang was going to give Chang Zhaowen, she suddenly laughed dumbly - Old Man Chang's hand was trembling and pointing to a wooden bucket in the nanny's hand!
