011, blooming roses

Cheng Hantao took on a case of a property dispute, and I, as his assistant, visited and investigated with him.

I have always been most disgusted by this kind of case, because human beings often lose control in the face of money, and even the most basic dignity, family affection, and humanity will be extinguished, just for those so-called property to start fighting for even a little humanity.

Cheng Hantao naturally knew my reluctance, but he told me, "Xiaoxue, the client of this case is an elder from my past, I don't want him to have any regrets before he dies, you help me, you just take care of it, and then tell me the result." ”

When he said this, I had no choice but to shut up and obediently choose to help.

When I walked into the mansion on the outskirts of the city with Cheng Hantao, I knew why this case made Cheng Hantao so embarrassed, because it was a real rich man Kong Wanxiang who lived here.

The old man is known to the world not because of how much money he has, but because he has a well-known charity, the "Helping People Foundation".

There are 10,000 people who receive funding from his foundation, if not 8,000, but mainly poor students.

He is a person I admire very much, but when he was about to leave this world, his relatives started a battle for property, and I think he was sad.

As we sat in the luxurious living room waiting for this old man whom I respected, I saw a woman standing not far from the living room looking at us.

I nodded to her, and she smiled at me, and when I turned my head again, I saw her sitting next to me, "You're going to help him, aren't you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect her to ask me so much, I just chuckled and didn't say anything.

"I was his first wife, I was 36 years old when I died, and he didn't have what he has now, and he didn't have what he has now, but he has always worked hard because he is a poor man, so after he succeeded and achieved, he decided to help those in need." The woman sat next to me and whispered, she wasn't going to let me talk.

"I have a child with him, his eldest son, but our son is not a businessman, so he chose to be a university professor, and his second wife is also a kind person, they have three children, a boy and two girls."

"I don't know why, these three children are not like him at all, they are all very selfish people, they only think about themselves, like this dispute over property, it was also initiated by the three of them, or my son, he doesn't want a penny from his father, and he has given up the right to fight." The woman smiled triumphantly.

At this time, a man who was also over half a hundred years old pushed Kong Wanxiang, who was in a wheelchair, and walked out, and the woman next to me immediately floated to his side and looked at him gently.

Cheng Hantao and I immediately stood up and saluted Mr. Kong, who smiled at us, raised his hand laboriously, and motioned for us to sit down.

"Uncle Kong, just ask for anything, and we'll do our best." Although Cheng Hantao respects Kong Wanxiang very much, he is still very conservative and committed.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what they really think, and that's enough." Kong Wanxiang smiled.

"yes, okay." Cheng Hantao nodded solemnly.

I suddenly felt betrayed, and I looked at Cheng Hantao in a bit of a panic.

"I know you're surprised now, but don't blame Xiao Tao, I really need your help right now." Kong Wanxiang saw my helplessness and immediately spoke to stabilize me.

"Mr. Kong, I ...... "I really don't know what to say.

"I know, your ability can help me, but I don't force you, you volunteer, if you really don't want to, I can understand, after all, the ugly side of human nature is not what everyone wants to see." Kong Wanxiang said gently.

I didn't expect that this rich man could speak so easily, coupled with my eye contact with him, I felt his sincerity, and my soft-hearted problem immediately irremediably recurred, I nodded to Kong Wanxiang, "Mr. Kong, I promise you." ”

Kong Wanxiang smiled, that sincere smile made me feel that I hadn't seen it for a long time, I hadn't seen the sincere smile of a living person for a long time, and I saw more Yin Spirits.

The woman standing next to Kong Wanxiang also smiled and nodded at me, and I bowed slightly to her.

In Kong Wanxiang's study, I met his three children, Kong Wanxiang temporarily left on the grounds of physical discomfort, and Cheng Hantao and I began a conversation with the three on the grounds of pre-will inquiry.

"My dad is old, and when he is old, he has to give up his position, let us carry forward his career, and let his wishes be promoted, this is what he wants." Kong Wanxiang's second son, Kong Jiashan, was the first to speak, and here he is the only male heir.

But his insincerity made me frown, he really hoped that he could sit in the position of chairman, and he really wanted his father to die soon, and stop being his stepping stone.

"Second brother, you're very funny, are you going to sit when you give up your seat? Do you really have what it takes? You are only a vice president of the company now, and I am the chief financial officer, the current situation of the company is not what you think, and my father has not left so much property at all, what are you fighting for? The third daughter Kong Jiali, who was sitting on the left side of me and facing me, looked at her brother with a kind smile, thinking about his brother on her lips, but scolding in her heart, "You stupid, let you be the chairman of the board of directors and my cunzài?" I won't let you sit in this seat if you say anything. ”

"Okay, don't talk like that, if you have something to say, anyway, everyone is for the good of the group, discuss it well." The fourth daughter, Kong Jiajia, smiled softly, but immediately received the white eyes of her brother and sister, and she didn't care, just turned her head to the side.

But after turning to the side, there was a flash of hatred in her eyes, "Two idiots, you just say it, if you miss it in a while, I'll end it then, and see who the old man will give his property to, and the two straw bales still want to get the family wealth, dream." ”

I exhaled, and I now feel like this is just the beginning, and I'm out of breath.

Just when I was not paying attention, I saw the woman I had just seen in the living room standing opposite me, she smiled softly at me, that smile reminded me of my mother, I softened my expression, reopened the notebook in my hand, and continued to observe their internal changes.

"That's a good thing to say, you're really not qualified to fight for anything as a planning director." Kong Jiali sneered and glanced at Kong Jiajia.

Kong Jiajia immediately turned his head and looked at her fiercely, "You are qualified, who does Dad want to give the property to, don't you know?" ”

"Yes, it won't be you anyway." Kong Jiali's face also turned ugly.

Both of them are scolding each other in their hearts, as ugly as they want to hear.

"Okay, shut up, just annoy you to make noise, if you have anything to say, don't be weird there." Kong Jiashan looked at the two of them impatiently, but scolded both of them in his heart.

"Okay, let's shut up, you can do it." Kong Jiali immediately pointed the finger at Kong Jiashan again, with an angry face.

"Isn't he just a man? If it were useful, the old man would have reused you a long time ago, and would he still put you in an inconspicuous place as some vice president? doesn't even have real power, what's beautiful. Kong Jiali glanced at Kong Jiashan disdainfully and pinned her head to the side.

"Lawyer Cheng, my father is an old-fashioned person, and his ideas can no longer keep up with the pace of modern development, so the current situation of the group is not optimistic, and I will do my best to put the group back on the right track and let the group stand up again." Kong Jiashan frothed at Cheng Hantao like a report.

"Mr. Kong, I know your confidence and determination very well, but from the information I have, the Kong Group is not as you said." Cheng Hantao smiled politely at Kong Jiashan.

"That's the surface, in fact, the internal deficit is still very large, as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, that's the truth." Kong Jiashan waved his hand impatiently.

"Oh? So, is the Kong Group already on the verge of bankruptcy? Cheng Hantao immediately grabbed his handle and asked.

"Of course not, how could the Kong Group go bankrupt? It's just that there are some problems with the operation of the group now, but as long as I take over, I will definitely turn this situation around. Kong Jiashan immediately rounded up the handle, he couldn't afford this bankrupt word.

"Brother, why don't you talk through your brain, just talk nonsense, how can there be a deficit in the group, are you saying that I, the chief financial officer, am I an ornament?" Kong Jiali angrily pointed at Kong Jiashan and asked.

"How could I say it, don't take it out of context, I didn't say it." Kong Jiashan slapped away Kong Jiali's hand pointing at him, and replied with an unhappy face.

"I sue you, the financial work of this group is what I do, and I know the financial situation best, you can talk nonsense, I can't afford this responsibility, and you can't afford it either." Kong Jiali said with a warning.

"Yes, second brother, although the eldest brother gave up the right to inherit the property, you can't start talking nonsense in order to inherit the family property." Kong Jiajia's soft words made people listen to them so harshly, not gentle at all.

I want to laugh a little, these three fools are exposing each other's shortcomings here, and they don't know, now Mr. Kong is sitting in another room watching the live broadcast here, I thought they would pretend to be a good man and a woman in front of me and Cheng Hantao, but I didn't expect them to be really direct and say their thoughts, which saved me business.

"Little sister, you shut up for me, eldest brother, he has no business acumen at all, and he has no position in the group, it is natural for him to give up, don't fan the flames there, if you don't want to get the inheritance, what are you doing here? Accompany the chat? Kong Jiashan was completely enraged by Kong Jiajia's words, and he stood up angrily and pointed at Kong Jiajia.

"What's the matter, am I not right? You're just a straw bag, from childhood to adulthood, where are you better than your big brother? The eldest brother gave up the right to inherit, he still has a son, and a grandson, which is not better than you. Kong Jiajia also spoke angrily and coldly.

But she didn't think so in her heart, "You just yell, I just won't let you get what you want, even if I can't get it, you don't want to get it, I'll use my big brother to provoke you, and then you will be messed up and start biting indiscriminately, and then it's time for you to be out." ”

Kong Jiajia's scheming made me tremble, Cheng Hantao saw that I was wrong, and immediately looked at me, I only chuckled, "The air conditioner here is too big." ”

"Kong Jiajia, don't be complacent, even if I can't get the family property, don't think about it, remember, I don't have the right to inherit, and you don't have either, an illegitimate child, what more to say here." Kong Jiashan suddenly said something that shocked everyone present.

Cheng Hantao and I looked at Kong Jiajia together, but Kong Jiajia, who was sitting there, smiled indifferently at Kong Jiashan, "Second brother, it doesn't matter if I'm an illegitimate child or not, the important thing is that if Dad wants to give me this inheritance as an illegitimate child, you can't help it." ”

"That old man is really crazy, even if he wants to give it, I won't agree to it." Kong Jiashan really said something too much under the stimulation of Kong Jiajia.

"What are you, will Daddy listen to you?" Kong Jiajia glanced at Kong Jiashan contemptuously and pursed his lips.

"Little sister, are you a little too much, letting you come here to audit is already very face-saving, why do you still have to inch in?" At this time, Kong Jiali also launched an attack on Kong Jiajia.

"That's it, just audit, otherwise I won't even give you this opportunity." As soon as Kong Jiashan saw Kong Jiali start to help him speak, he sat back on the sofa with a smug smile.

Kong Jiajia didn't expect Kong Jiali to help Kong Jiashan, she stared at Kong Jiali.

It turned out that before coming here, Kong Jiali had approached Kong Jiajia and said that the two must join forces to prevent Kong Jiashan from getting the inheritance, but now Kong Jiali temporarily defected, which she didn't expect, she originally planned to clean up Kong Jiali after defeating Kong Jiashan, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

However, Kong Jiajia's mind is really unusual, she adjusted her countermeasures in the shortest possible time, and smiled at Kong Jiali, "Third sister, you are too good, didn't you report the matter of the second brother to your father?" I also tell my second brother that his inheritance must be gone, let me help you get the inheritance? also promised that I would support my family and let us live a worry-free life, why, now you want the second brother to get back the inheritance? Don't want to be a female director anymore? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I tell my father about my second brother?" Kong Jiali didn't expect Kong Jiajia to turn things upside down, she immediately retorted, but her words made the people present sound so weak.

Sure enough, Kong Jiashan's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Kong Jiali with a fierce gaze.

Then a scene broke out in the study, and three celebrities with heads and faces started a "huge" meat fight in this study.

Cheng Hantao and I walked out smartly, looked at each other helplessly, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seems that the life of rich people is not easy.

Under the guidance of the subordinates, we came to Mr. Kong's bedroom.

Mr. Kong is really tough, and after listening to the live broadcast just now, his expression did not fluctuate at all.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm actually very satisfied with their appearance today, this is their true side, so I don't have any regrets." Mr. Kong took a deep breath and looked at us.

"Mr. Kong, I don't think I'm doing anything." I lifted the corners of my mouth.

"Don't you remember what they really think in your notebook? Leave it to me, I'd love to see it too. Mr. Kong nodded to me.

I stepped forward and handed the notebook in my hand to him, and Mr. Kong smiled at me after taking the notebook and said, "Miss Xia, can I ask you for something?" ”

"Don't say that, there's anything I can do, just ask." I was taken aback by Mr. Kong's tone, and his sincere request made me feel very uncomfortable.

"On the third floor of this house, in the innermost room, my youngest son used to live, but when he was 25 years old, he was gone, he was one of my most beloved children, and his death hit me hard, but I felt that he had always been there, and had not left, because the red roses in the vase in his room had always been fresh and had never withered, and it was a birthday present he had prepared for his mother, but he died before he could send it out in a hurry." Mr. Kong looked at me seriously, and I smiled after listening to his words, it turned out that this was the purpose of his coming to me.

I nodded to Mr. Kong and said to the subordinate standing there, "Tell me how to go." ”

The subordinate respectfully took me to the third floor, and pointed in the innermost direction, "Miss, it is the innermost room, where the little master once lived." ”

I smiled at him and bravely walked through the door.

As soon as I pushed the door in, the door of the room slammed shut behind me, and I was startled by a loud and dull noise, and I turned my head to look at the door, and swallowed unconsciously.

When I turned my head, I saw a handsome young guy standing in front of me.

I nodded to him amicably, "Hello, my name is Xia Xiaoxue, and it was your father who asked me to come to see you." ”

He looked at me silently, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"How could she see me? Is she also a ghost? What did her father ask her to do? ”

"Don't think about it, you are your father's favorite youngest son, and now that your father is also dying soon, he wants me to tell you if you can leave with him." I smiled at his question, which made him look at me even more strangely.

"I'm a human, not a ghost, I'm the one who can see you." I'll explain.

"But I don't want to leave yet." The handsome guy finally spoke.

"I know you're waiting for your mother, but you also know that your mother has been away for years, will she really come back?" I watched him walk towards the window, where there was a vase on the windowsill, where a red rose was blooming.

"Don't touch it, I gave it to my mother." The handsome guy suddenly stood in front of me.

"It's beautiful, really." I chuckled.

"My mother likes roses the most, especially red roses, she said that they are as bright as blood, which makes people feel the existence of life." The handsome man's tone became soft, and his eyes were warm.

"Is your mother a beautiful woman?"

"Well, it's beautiful and gentle."

"She's a good woman, isn't she? You love her so much. ”

"Well, she loves me very much, she loves me very much, but she's gone."

"Why?"

"Because my so-called brothers and sisters, those three devil-like people, they forced my mother away." There was coldness and hatred in the handsome guy's eyes.

"Can you tell me?"

"My mother is my father's third wife, she is very kind, very beautiful, after giving birth to me, she is taking care of the family wholeheartedly, but in addition to my father, no one in the family treats her well, especially the second brother, the third sister, the fourth sister, they have nothing to do with their mother's trouble, and they insult her, my mother secretly cried several times for this, but she never mentioned it to her father once."

"But her kindness was not reciprocated, they persecuted her even more, sometimes even to the point of incomprehension, the last time I saw my mother was when I was 20 years old, I was going to study abroad, she dropped me off at the airport, told me to take care, we made an appointment, when I returned to China at the age of 25, she would come to pick me up." Speaking of which, the handsome guy cried.

"However, when I returned to China, she did not come to pick me up, and I did not see her when I returned home, and later I learned that my mother had an extramarital affair and was found out by my father and was expelled from the house, so I lost her, but I thought she would definitely come back to see me on her birthday, so I carefully prepared these roses for her, but the sky was not perfect, I had a car accident on the way back from buying flowers, and I was hit and killed."

"So, you must wait here for her to come back, right?" I stood in front of him and looked at him.

He just nodded, and I saw how painful he was.

I decided to help him, and on the way back, I called Li Jianfei and asked him to help verify the information of the woman named Lin Xianglan.

Then when Cheng Hantao and I stood in front of Lin Xianglan, I was stunned, how could this woman look so much like Lin Haoran.

When we said the purpose of this, Lin Xianglan cried, she always thought that her son was living abroad, but she had no idea that her son was dead.

When we appeared in front of the handsome guy with Lin Xianglan, I saw him crying at her feet, he was holding his mother in both hands, crying like a child.

Lin Xianglan also seemed to feel that her son was in front of her, and stretched out her hand to gently caress the handsome guy's face, and the tears on her face couldn't be stopped.

"Auntie, your son asked me to tell you: 'Happy birthday, Mommy.'" I spoke softly, I really didn't want to disturb their meeting.

Lin Xianglan fell to the ground crying bitterly, and kept patting the edge of the bed with her hand, this is her remorse.

At this time, a bright light came in, but I reflexively shouted: "Wait, wait, let their mother and son see each other again, please." ”

Because of my exclamation, Lin Xianglan turned her head sharply, and I could see from her eyes that she really saw her son, and the handsome guy at this time also smiled at his mother.

The handsome guy turned his head to me, "Miss Xia, thank you, you must be happy." ”
