Chapter 182: Mother and Son
"It's a man's responsibility to make a decision on the spot, and this time I've finally completely dissociated myself from that broom star, anyway, this is the only thing worth being happy about at the moment." A woman's voice came from the silent hospital room.
"Are you so disgusted with Lin Qingrou? I don't remember her offending you anywhere. Du Zeming's deep voice sounded after a long time.
"Offended? What did a woman like her bring us when she came to the Du family? How many times have we been ridiculed and ridiculed by others in public, have you forgotten? Not only did she ruin your marriage, but she also made me unable to hold my head up in front of others, she is simply the broom star of the Du family! β
"Now you don't have to worry about it."
"That's right, so I'm happy with the result. As long as things go well between you and Liu Anfei, the sooner the better, and I will definitely support you. Liu Anfei, this girl, is much better than Lin Qingrou's broom star. β
"What is Lin Qingrou not as good as Liu Anfei?"
"It's better than anywhere!"
"If you attack her for not being able to speak by nature, it seems like I'm insulting and oppressing her, but I can compare my heart to those who usually look on coldly and try to accept a person who can't speak as a daughter-in-law, how many of them can accept? All of them are sanctimonious and hypocritical. Even if you don't mention her natural defect, didn't she use despicable means when she entered the Du family? How can such a person be able to get into my eyes? The woman said contemptuously.
After hearing this, Du Zeming laughed very dryly a few times, and said: "Then you used me to impersonate me back then, won Du Liangde's trust, and used this means to achieve the goal of marrying into the Du family, isn't it more despicable and hateful than Lin Qingrou?" β
"Pay attention to the way you speak!" The woman angrily scolded: "Don't start talking to me with this attitude just because I told you the truth about your life, I said that no matter what the circumstances, I am still your mother!" You weren't born to me, but you were raised by me! β
This is Li Shujun, a woman who has never been strong and refuses to admit defeat. In order to pursue her own interests and ambitions, she used a child adopted from an orphanage to deceive the trust of Du Liangde, a prominent figure in the business world, so that she successfully entered the house as a third party and became the mistress of the Du family.
And now, she wants to try her best to maintain her authority and status in front of her adopted son Du Zeming, who already knows her background.
After Du Zeming knew his true life experience, it was as if he had fallen into an abyss, and the confidence and capital he relied on for pride completely collapsed. He is almost no longer Du Zeming, or he is not Du Zeming from now on.
After Du Liangde learned that Du Zeming was not his biological son, he began to take a series of measures, first asking Du Zeming to divorce Lin Qingrou, and then privately going to Xiushan to meet Du Hongming.
Du Zeming truly experienced the desolation of loneliness and sadness, this feeling Lin Qingrou had tasted countless times, and now it was finally Du Zeming's turn to try it. He began to feel lost and even hopeless about the future.
After not being able to close his eyes and sleep properly for several days, he dragged his tired body and numb spirit to Lin Qingrou and gave away the freedom that Lin Qingrou had been longing for.
Du Zeming played the role of both a destroyer and a guardian in this marriage, but at this point he finally let go of his initial insistence, and he had to follow Du Liangde's instructions, because he was afraid that he would become nothing and become an ordinary to insignificant nobody.
He is afraid of being spurned, afraid of hearing those endless ridicule, Du Zeming, the former CEO of Hongming Group, is not Du Liangde's biological son, he is just an orphan who came from unknown sources and was abandoned to an orphanage.
Du Zeming's arrogance did not allow him to bear such humiliation, and his ambitions in the past would never be able to accept such a huge gap in life.
So he chose to compromise, even at the expense of lowering his head, Du Zeming at this time fell into unprecedented vulnerability. His expression was in a trance, his life was no longer in sight, and everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him in an instant.
In such a state of mind, he drove the car completely out of control, it was a state of distraction, and it seemed like a kind of indifferent madness about his life.
He knew that driving this road in front of him would probably bring him serious consequences, but deep down in his heart, there was clearly an inexplicable temptation that kept seducing him, or in the simplest and clearest words, the car accident during the day could be called a conscious suicide rather than a traffic accident.
But at this moment, Li Shujun will not delve into these things that have passed, all she cares about is her future status in the Du family, and the reputation and power of the entire upper class.
For this reason, she wants to inspire Du Zeming, who is depressed and has lost the courage to live, there is no doubt that there is a mother-son relationship between them, but when all the truth is put on the table in blood, all emotions are swallowed up.
"Anyway, I have to cheer me up right away, now is not the time to hide in the hospital and escape the problem, you should face your life and take control of everything you can control. At this point, Du Liangde is stronger and more ruthless than you, which is why I fell in love with this man without hesitation, he has a natural arrogance in his bones, and the tenacity of never admitting defeat, so I have allowed you to grow up under his teaching over the years, in order to hope that you will one day become better than him, more. β
Li Shujun said, took out a document from his carry-on bag and put it in front of Du Zeming. Du Zeming picked up this document and looked at it, and the original content of the document was the appointment letter of appointment of Li Shujun as a director of the board of directors of Hongming Group.
"What are you doing here?" Du Zeming asked.
Li Shujun said with a little disappointment: "Don't you understand this? I hope that your former sharpness will come back to you soon, and I feel sad that you are now. You're my son, and you can never be crushed by anything, understand? β
"I hope you will sign this letter of appointment immediately. For so many years, although I have been doing what I want, he has never let down his guard against me. As you know, there is no position of mine within such a large Hongming Group. Du Liangde consciously isolated me from the Hongming Group, he did not want me to get involved in his company, and he never backed down on this. β
"He thought that if he was randomly assigned to me the position of secretary general of a nominal charitable foundation, he would be able to get through it. But what I really want is not something that is in name only, what I really want is to be the one who is in control. Du Liangde didn't understand at all what a huge sacrifice I had made in order to stay by his side. I gave up the company I founded by myself, gave up the title of businesswoman who worked hard in the business world, and even gave up my dignity and pride to choose to be one of his mistresses, shouldn't I be compensated for all of this? β
Du Zeming looked at Li Shujun's eloquent appearance, and couldn't help but feel that the woman in front of him was so strange and terrifying, she had been carried away by the desire for power, or that she was such a person.
"The appointment of directors needs to be decided by a general meeting of the board of directors, and I cannot be appointed alone." Du Zeming reminded.
Li Shujun said: "Of course I know that although you push for the board meeting, I will let this appointment pass smoothly." β
Du Zeming nodded, and didn't say anything, because now he no longer cares about the affairs of the group company, and all this seems to be no longer related to him.
But Li Shujun is the opposite, she knows that the exposure of Du Zeming's true identity will inevitably force Du Liangde to alienate Du Zeming, and even remove him as CEO, while Du Hongming, who is eyeing him outside, is very likely to reap the benefits of the fisherman because he is Du Liangde's only biological son.
When Du Hongming returned to the Du family and joined the Hongming Group, it was too late to say anything. Li Shujun and Du Zeming are facing the danger of being swept away by the Du family and their reputations are discredited, and she understands that she must take action at this time to keep everything she has.
Although Du Liangde has long since retreated into the background in recent years, and the power of the group company has been handed over to Du Zeming on the surface, Li Shujun knows best in his heart that an old fox like Du Liangde will not hand over the rights in his hands so easily.
In secret, Du Liangde is still firmly controlling Hongming Group with a pair of invisible hands, and this invisible but real control is exactly the ability of a business tycoon like Du Liangde.
Simply, in the years of the Du family's painstaking management, Li Shujun also made careful arrangements and plans for herself early, and the relationship between her and Du Liangde has long since disappeared, and at her age, she just lives for the unwillingness and power desire in her heart.
Li Shujun said: "You should be so naΓ―ve to think that Du Liangde has already handed over the control of Hongming Group to you, right?" An old fox like him wouldn't leave anything behind. β
Du Zeming remembered that Lian Nuo secretly investigated some things for himself, in which he also mentioned to himself that there is actually a company behind Hongming Group that firmly controls most of the capital flow of Hongming Group, and this company is the core that really controls the lifeblood of Hongming Group, and the person who has this core can only be Du Liangde.
