Chapter 22: Extraneous Branches
Listening to his father's story, Chen Chuan felt that things were far from being as simple as he thought.
The person who made Hu Xiang shudder was Mr. Rulin's righteous son Li Cheng. This person was a child picked up by Rulin when he went out, and was later adopted as a righteous son. Li Cheng inherited the mantle of Mr. Rulin, kindness, righteousness, and won everyone's favor in the whole company.
Although he is a righteous son, the relationship between father and son is very harmonious, Mr. Rulin can be said to love Li Cheng very much, and Li Cheng is also very filial to his father-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, it is impossible to see that they are not blood relatives. Because Mr. Rulin's daughter is younger than Li Cheng, Li Linxi calls Li Cheng his brother, and Li Cheng can be said to be obedient and very fond of Li Linxi's sister. Until Li Linxi was eight or nine years old, he occasionally bullied his brother and was carried on his back.
After graduating from university, Li Cheng complied with his father's wishes and returned to the company to help his father take care of the business.
Outside the family, Li Cheng takes care of Li Linxi's father and daughter, but he is very thrifty, and he will give his father all the salary every month, for this reason, Li Rulin's appreciation for Li Cheng is even more overflowing, and all the company's business will be familiar to Li Cheng, which seems to be preparing for him to take over the company in the future.
Although Li Cheng and Li Linxi are brother and sister, Li Cheng's feelings for Li Linxi do not stop at brother and sister. This is also in line with Mr. Rulin's mind, but it's a pity that Li Linxi only has brother and sister affection for Li Cheng, and nothing else, and he also fell in love with Hu Xiang against his father, which is tantamount to a slap in the face for Li Cheng, but in order to repay his father-in-law's nurturing grace, Li Cheng is still dutifully busy all day long, probably so that he has no time to think about unhappy things, and he is even busier than before.
Mr. Rulin saw all this in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. In order to make his sister happy and avoid suspicion, after Li Linxi and Hu Xiang got married, Li Cheng gradually handed over most of the business to Hu Xiang, and told his father-in-law in his own way that as long as his sister was fine, he had no intention of fighting for anything, which also met Hu Xiang's appetite.
After that document was signed, Li Cheng was sent by his father-in-law and left for a long time, and no one knew where he went and what he did. Soon after he returned, Mr. Rulin died, and he sent his father-in-law away as a son.
At this time, the Confucian business movement was already Hu Xiang's world, and a few of us sensible saw that the general trend had gone, so we left Confucianism. I heard about the rest of the story. Because Li Linxi has always believed in Hu Xiang too much and never woke up, Li Cheng had no choice but to leave under the pretext.
Li Cheng's ability and personality are enough to contend with Hu Xiang, but on the one hand, he is worried that he is a righteous son, and he is afraid of attracting gossip, and he is ashamed of his father-in-law's spirit in the sky; Second, considering Li Linxi's situation, he was afraid that she would be in a dilemma, so Li Cheng chose to forbear, and finally left the country, and no one has seen him since. This shows Li Cheng's personality and Li Linxi's position in his heart. ”
Saying this, Chen Chuan's father let out another long sigh.
A wrong choice mistakes both yourself and others. The reason why several of us are looking for Li Linxi is that although this child is out of sight in marriage, he will definitely live up to Mr. Rulin in terms of personality and business talent, so we want to help this child and give an explanation for going to Mr. Rulin one day. In this way, it will involve the document signed by Hu Xiang, and it doesn't matter if we live to this age, but this will involve Li Linxi's safety, so we can only do it quietly.
According to the way Mr. Rulin did things during his lifetime, the person who kept the document on his behalf must have been someone he trusted very much. Therefore, the secret document involving Hu Xiang's fate is very likely to be in the hands of his righteous son Li Cheng, if this is the case, then what Li Cheng has in his hands is not just a document. It is very likely that there are other killer features that are enough to make Hu Xiang tremble. As for why there has been no movement so far, this is unknown, it is very likely that it is because Li Linxi still remembers the old relationship, or because there is still a child in the middle, or the time has not come, these are all possible. ”
Hearing this, Chen Chuan felt that Li Cheng was not only admirable, but also a little mysterious.
In the end, Chen Chuan got the relevant information of the lawyer who was present when Hu Xiang signed the document from his father, and after sorting it out, he returned to the villa to discuss the next plan with Li Cheng.
Without Zixi by his side, Chen Chuan's heart was empty at this time, even if he stood in the bustling crowd, he felt lonely.
With everything in place, Chen Chuan rushed back to the company tiredly, and as soon as he entered the office, he saw a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Chen Chuan was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "Why is she here?" ”
After a few years of college life, Chen Mo has become more stable and mature, and he has become more handsome! Because of his excellent academics, he is a master on the basketball court, coupled with the titles of secretary of the Youth League and president of the student union, Chen Mo has become a popular figure on campus, and no matter where he goes, he can become a scenery in the eyes of girls! Let the boys envy it.
However, Chen Mo is very disdainful of these, he takes care of himself, he usually has that cold face wherever he goes, and he is even more afraid to avoid girls, because the most beautiful scenery in his heart is always Zimo.
The students, who are still a year away from graduation, are rushing for their future. Chen Mo was busy with his master's thesis and planning his own company. Because of his excellent grades, the school had the intention of letting Chen Mo stay in school, but Chen Mo felt that his future could not only be confined to the campus, he wanted to go out and embrace a piece of the world that really belonged to him, so he politely refused the school's kindness.
Another reason is that he was angry and applied for this college far away from Zimo, he will never forget the day he left, when he walked into the security check, Zimo squatted on the ground alone and cried, at that time he scolded himself in his heart a thousand times that he was a bastard!
In order to compensate for his debt to Zimo, he wants to give Zimo a home she hopes for in his own way. For this wish, he worked hard to implement his life plan.
Chen Mo, who had just come out of the school library, looked at the book in his hand and walked towards the dormitory.
"Senior, are you a street lamp pole for me? You don't even see such a big guy standing on the side of the road? It's really no one in sight. Suddenly, a reproachful voice made Chen Mo stop.
"Oh, Cong Jiajia, why are you standing here scary if you don't go to class?" Chen Mo looked at the time and asked.
Cong Jiajia, vice president of the school's student union, and the champion of the school's English debate competition for three times. People are not only beautiful, but also very bold, and will be persistent in what they are sure of. My father is a well-known private entrepreneur in the local area, because of his fluent English, he also won a big business for my father, and my father is even more fond of Jiajia. Although he is still a student and is only in his twenties, he has already started to run his own brick-and-mortar store.
Because she is in the student union, there will naturally be more opportunities for contact, and in this process, Congjiajia was gradually impressed by Chen Mo's charm, and she found that she was deeply in love with this senior who never smiled and never smiled and always had a glacier face in front of girls.
Chen Mo didn't know all this, and he never cared about what the female classmates around him talked about, because he only had Zimo in his heart.
"It's really worthy of being a senior, and I'm not stingy with words at all. Are you a ghost to me? Congjia relentlessly fought back at Chen Mo.
"Okay, okay, it's not scary, it's wild." Chen Mo deliberately teased Cong Jiajia.
