All Chapters_Chapter 338: Take it easy
I heard another wave of suspicion, the Chen family seems to have something important to announce today, but what does Li Mengting mean by letting me remember what happened today? Although my surname is Chen, I have nothing to do with the Chen family, one of the four major families on the road in Lihai City.
At this time, Steward Chen had already walked in with a middle-aged man in a suit carrying a black briefcase and brown glasses, presumably this guy was Lawyer Chen Zhen Chen in Master Long's mouth.
Lawyer Chen greeted the people in the room one by one, and after the consent of Long Ye, Xiao Mei and the second uncle, he opened his briefcase and took out a contract to read out. Because there are a lot of rules in the contract, I don't know much about them, and I'm a little confused, but I still hear the general meaning, it seems to be a suicide note drafted by Master Long.
The suicide note details that after the death of Long Ye, Xiao Meilai succeeded as the temporary head of the Chen family, responsible for taking care of the Chen family's property, and a group of family board members such as the second uncle were responsible for assisting Xiao Mei in managing the family business.
These are all very common suicide note contents, but there is one thing that stunned me that the suicide note made a very strict request for Xiao Mei. That is, Xiao Mei's term as the temporary head of the family is three years, if Chen Yu does not die in three years, Xiao Mei can really become the head of the Chen family after three years; If I die in three years, then Xiao Mei will be disqualified from serving as the head of the Chen family, and a group of sensible members of the Chen group will choose another head of the family.
I was completely dumbfounded when I heard this, and I couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking to myself that the head of the Chen family, Long Ye, announced what happened after his death, what does it have to do with me, why does the suicide note involve me personally?
After the relevant procedures were completed, the suicide note began to be sealed and handed over to Lawyer Chen for safekeeping, and the people in the room were all sad, and even the second uncle was still wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
Long Ye's spirit is even worse at this time, his face is like gold paper, and there is no blood.
Only then did I know that he was sleepy on weekdays, but today he was able to have a good spirit for a while because the doctor gave him a cardiotonic injection in the morning. Now that the effect of the heart booster has passed, he is a little unable to support it, and he looks crumbling.
Frightened, Li Mengting and the others wanted to hurry outside to call a private doctor, but Long Ye was weak but stubborn and waved his hand, and ordered in a dying voice: "It's all ...... Go out, Chen Yu stayed, and accompanied me on the last journey. ”
The second uncle and the others seemed to have known that Long Ye's limit was approaching, and they respected Long Ye's decision very much at this time, and a group of people wiped their eyes and went out, leaving only me, who was a little at a loss.
Only me and the dying Long Ye were left in the room, he looked at the muscles on my cheek and pulled twice, as if smiling at me, beckoned to me weakly, and said weakly: "Child...... Son, come to me...... Sit down. ”
The beauty is most afraid of twilight, and the general is most afraid of lying on the couch.
I looked at this former great man on the road who was about to die, and I couldn't help but feel pity, and walked straight over and sat down by his bedside.
Long Ye looked at me closely, his eyes were full of doting and joy as if he was looking at his own child, his face was slightly sickly flushed, and his forehead was sweaty, he looked at me and said: "Thirty years ago, the Chen family was still a small gang, with only a few dozen people and less than one million assets. I took over the Chen family from my uncle, and I fought all my life, crisscrossing the sea. In just a few decades, the Chen family has also jumped from a small gang to one of the four major families, helping more than 1,000 people and billions of assets. As the head of the family, I am successful, but as someone else's husband and the father of children, I am ashamed in my heart. ”
I don't know why Master Long is telling me this, I looked at him in astonishment and didn't know how to answer his words.
Long Ye looked at me, and there was a hint of relief in his originally self-blaming eyes: "Chen Yu, promise me one thing, okay?" ”
I asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Long Ye held my hand and said, "The head of the Chen family can only be surnamed Chen, don't ask the reason, promise me that after three years, you will become the head of the Chen family!" ”
I was dumbfounded when I heard this, and I couldn't help but feel weak and said, "Master Long, I'm not from the Chen family, where did I get the ability and qualifications to be the head of your Chen family?" ”
"The carp in the phosphorus pond, foraging for duckweed, the wind and clouds rise overnight, and the jade dragon carries the thunder." Long Ye looked at me fixedly and said, "Your surname is Chen, that's enough, I think you can do it, you are qualified!" ”
It's over, the current head of the Chen family, Long Ye, is probably so sick that he even has a problem with his brain. He himself also knows that now his wife Xiao Mei has set up the Chen family, and it is estimated that he is also very unwilling to earn it when he is dying, if the family business is handed over, but even if he wants to find the children of the Chen family to take away the family business from Xiao Mei, he should also find his nephews and young people to take on this task, why are you looking for me as an outsider?
I didn't bother to get involved in the internal struggle of their Chen family, the last time their internal struggle almost killed Li Mengting, I was resentful, I just opened my mouth to refuse this boring request. However, when I met his gaze, I immediately felt his deep begging, and I hated those Xiao Mei who wanted to kill Li Mengting twice, so I said as if I was a ghost: "Okay, I promise you." ”
After hearing that I agreed to his request, Long Ye smiled with relief and shook my hand vigorously, and then his body began to tremble violently. I was so frightened that I hurriedly said that I would call the doctor, but he grabbed my hand and did not allow me to go, he forcibly calmed down his body, tried to sit up straight, and said weakly: "Child, don't call them, I have cancer, and the doctor said that I can't survive this month." I don't want to be left behind, so if I'm leaving, I'll take it easy, you know what I mean? ”
When a beautiful woman is dying, she doesn't want others to see her ruined face, and she wants to retain her beautiful appearance in everyone's memory; The hero also doesn't want his brother's subordinates to see his unadulthood being tortured by illness, and wants to keep a majestic impression in the minds of his subordinates, I kind of understand what Long Ye means, and nodded and said I understand.
The look in Long Ye's eyes slowly dissipated, and he asked me the last sentence hoarsely: "Child, do you think I am calm now?" ”
I don't know why, the inexplicable sadness in my heart came from it, watching such a former hero on the road being tortured by illness and giving up his life, I couldn't help but cry sadly, nodded heavily and said, "Master Long is calm." ”
When Long Ye heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to smile with satisfaction, and then the muscular expression on his face froze, and there was no trace of anger in his eyes, and I shouted loudly: "Long Ye? ”
Outside, Xiao Mei, Second Uncle, and Li Mengting hurriedly broke in, and after finding that Long Ye had passed away, they couldn't help crying. After Xiao Mei shed two lines of tears, she quickly sorted out her emotions and used her status as the temporary head of the family to start scheduling and organizing the funeral for Long Ye. As an outsider, I was no longer suitable to stay at the scene, so I went downstairs with Li Mengting.
When I came down, Li Mengting asked me in a whisper, what did Master Long tell me?
I looked at the servants and bodyguards in a hurry in the manor, and found that no one was paying attention to the two of us, so I whispered to her: "Long Ye was already a little dizzy before he died, he said that the head of the Chen family can only be the person surnamed Chen, and begged me to overthrow Xiao Mei, the temporary head of the family, and become the throne of the head of your Chen family after three years." Sister, you said that Master Long didn't go to the doctor in a hurry, how could I be the head of your Chen family? ”
Unexpectedly, Li Mengting listened to my words, and said unprecedentedly seriously that what the manly doctor said must be counted, and she said that since I promised Master Long, I must do it, otherwise she will look down on me.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard this, saying that I came perfunctory to Master Long.
Li Mengting was anxious and wanted to say something to me, but at this time, Steward Chen came over, he handed me two sets of keys and a document and said, "Chen Yu, the Porsche 718 you fancy is given to you by Master Long, you can drive it away." ”
I saw people coming to Chen's house from all directions, so I nodded, took the key and went to the garage to drive the Porsche, and slowly left Chen's house through the side door.
Li Mengting stood in the courtyard and watched me drive away, her eyes were a little complicated, and then the second uncle came over with a ghost hand and sighed: "Poor boy, he originally belonged to his billions of family business, and now he only got a Porsche of hundreds of thousands." ”
Li Mengting didn't speak, and the second uncle lowered his voice and asked, "What did Jiaolong say to Chen Yu before he died?" ”
"Let Chen Yu snatch the position of head of the family from Xiao Mei within three years."
The second uncle was silent for a moment, his expression was not optimistic, and he asked: "Did Jiao Long tell Chen Yu the identity of father and son?" ”
Li Mengting shook her head and said, "Judging from Chen Yu's reaction, there shouldn't be. ”
The second uncle nodded: "That's good." ”
The ghost hand couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you tell Chen Yu the inside story at this moment?" ”
The second uncle sighed and said: "Chen Yu is still a child, if he knows that his biological mother was killed by Xiao Mei, and his father is dead today, even if the big family business is taken away by the big enemy Xiao Mei, he will definitely go crazy." If he loses his mind and goes to Xiao Mei for revenge, he will undoubtedly kill himself, give him a little more time. ”
Li Mengting said worriedly: "Tell Chen Yu the truth for fear that he will collapse, don't tell him the truth, and he is unwilling to put his goal on the throne of the head of the family now, what should we do?" ”
The second uncle said in a deep voice: "He has the blood of the Chen family in his body, he is the seed of the Chen family, and this matter is not up to him." Xiaoting, you will be responsible for secretly protecting him and cultivating him in the future, Xiao Mei now knows Chen Yu's identity, although there is Jiao Long's suicide note to protect him in disguise, but it is difficult to guarantee that Xiao Mei will not poison him. ”
