Chapter 218: A Lifetime of Excellence
Miss Cao Jiasan, who has been missing for ten years, has returned home, and this bombshell news shocked the whole of Hong Kong for a while, although the Cao family tried their best to deal with the matter in a low-key manner, but those street tabloids were still full of all kinds of gossip news about Miss Cao San.
In a small vandalized apartment in Port City, at this time, a little gray-haired old man was also reading a gossip tabloid.
Under the dim light, the living room was in a mess, the coffee table was full of beer cans, and the little old man looked at the oil-stained tabloid in a daze, with a trace of memory and a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Immediately, he poured a beer into his mouth and choked on it and coughed loudly.
The mobile phone rang, he connected, and in the microphone, it was a weak female voice, with a little embarrassment and helplessness: "Ieyasu, I want to come back later, the company's requirements, I must attend the advertiser's dinner tonight......"
The sadness in the little old man's eyes was even stronger, but he could only sigh deeply, "I know ......"
"You, you're nine o'clock, you must come to pick me up, ...... VT" After the woman finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a little panic.
The little old man was stunned for a long time before he slowly put down the phone.
His eyes were on the tabloid again, how he hoped that everything that had happened in the past ten years was just a dream, and everything had returned to the original point of more than ten years ago, back to before the third sister had become more withdrawn and eccentric, and she and his friend had not disappeared.
The corners of the little old man's mouth gradually showed a bitter smile.
At this time, someone outside knocked softly on the door.
"The rent will be tomorrow, Brother Li, won't I tell you okay?" The little old man got up slowly, his face frowned as if it was a little deeper, sighed and came to the door, stretched out his hand that was always trembling under alcohol anesthesia to unlock the door inside, and slowly opened the door.
"Brother Li, tomorrow, tomorrow my wife will be paid, I didn't lie to you, you just wait a day, just a day......" The little old man humbly pleaded, his head slowly raised, and then, he was stunned, and his words stopped abruptly.
Outside the door, there was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in dark blue casual sportswear, with eyebrows and face, so familiar.
The little old man was stunned, and said in surprise: "You, who are?" The friend back then, it can also be said that he was a noble person who helped him, with a smile and a smile, he can't forget it no matter what, but the young man in front of him can't be that friend, if you want to say that the noble man's heir, he is too old, back then, didn't I hear that the noble man already had a child?
"Ieyasu, what are you ......" Le Chen was taken aback when he saw the little old man in front of him, although he had already prepared in his heart, he still didn't expect Cao Jiakang to be so down.
Before coming, he briefly learned about Cao Jiakang's recent situation, that year, after the death of Cao Gong, the most important properties of the Cao family were inherited by the eldest prince in accordance with Cao Gong's will, but Cao Jiakang also inherited assets worth more than one billion, but unfortunately later he failed to invest, and in several financial turmoil in Hong Kong, he almost every time he stood on the opposite side of history, suffered heavy losses and was in debt, a few years ago, he had to declare bankruptcy, and his wife Li Yunshi now provoked the whole family, running outside to shoot some advertisements, making money to pay off his debts, in fact, she is almost forty years old, but she has entered the modeling circle, nothing more than because she used to be the halo of the Cao family's young grandmother, so that advertisers, public opinion, there is a kind of hunting psychology, so, there is a certain market demand, but think about it, life will be more and more difficult.
If it weren't for hearing that Cao Jiakang's situation was worse, Le Chen would not have come to see him, but when he saw Cao Jiakang at this moment, although he had a certain psychological preparation, he didn't expect him to be so depressed, he couldn't pay the rent, and the whole person seemed to be fifty or sixty years old.
"You, you seem to be a good friend of mine......" Cao Jiakang was dumbfounded, looking at Le Chen a little distracted.
Le Chen bowed slightly: "Ieyasu, I am Le Chen, you are not mistaken." ”
Cao Jiakang looked at Le Chen in disbelief, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, for a while, he pinched his thigh hard, frowned in pain, and then he was sure that he was not dreaming.
Le Chen coughed and said, "I don't look like I've changed much, right? I don't know what's going on, to put it mildly, it's a fashionable word, it's a reverse growth!"
Cao Jiakang's mind was in a daze, and suddenly, he looked at Le Chen in surprise and asked, "Is there any connection between your disappearance and my third sister's disappearance?"
Le Chen didn't want to dwell on this issue more, and he had the mentality of lying in the past, so he said: "You can understand it like this, but don't mention the past, it's you, I've heard a lot of things, but don't care too much, this life is originally ups and downs." ”
Looking at Cao Jiakang, Le Chen now understands why he looked at his face and came up with the criticism of "longevity is as high as a carp, the mountain roots are small and the head hangs down, the flesh and bones are ruthless and the eyes are white, and the master of food and clothing all his life" sentenced him to be busy all his life and gain nothing in the end.
It's just that he is considered to be the fate of his servant palace and his friend, so he was puzzled at the time.
Looking at it now, the criticism of the year has come true, but with his own ability at the time, he can only see this point, his current cultivation, if he does something that affects people's fortunes, it is impossible for ordinary gods to predict, including himself more than ten years ago, and he can't also cut off Cao Jiakang's fate of what changes will occur in the future when he meets his current cultivation.
"Ah, you, come in and sit ......" Cao Jiakang suddenly came back to his senses, but after accepting that the person in front of him was indeed Le Chen, what he wanted to do most now was to turn Le Chen away, go back to the room and hide, and never see him again.
It's just that he can't do this politely, not to mention, when he sees his old friend back then, he wants to get drunk with his old friend and forget everything.
Now he has a complicated mood as if he has knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
Le Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't go in." Stuffed a piece of paper into Cao Jiakang's hand, "Just now in your account, I transferred more than 200 million US dollars, this is a certificate, this money should be enough for you to pay off your debts and release the bankruptcy order." ”
Cao Jiakang was stunned and looked at Le Chen in shock.
Le Chen smiled and said: "This money belongs to the third lady, after she was recognized by the court and canceled the death declaration, she also got a part of the property that should belong to her, the boss of the Cao family, after all, she can't go too far, and she, in the past few days, she has sold all the stock funds and real estate, and she decided to leave all the money to you, saying that ten years later, these Cao family members will look at it, you are a general, and you can barely look at it without being disgusting and want to vomit, so she decided to leave this money to you." ”
These are Miss Cao San's original words, Le Chen recalled at this moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a smile, Miss Cao San was so mean to Cao Jiakang back then, but, in fact, in the Cao family, Miss Cao San still has some affection for him.
"This, how can this work? Third sister, she just came back, I, I can't accept ......" Cao Jiakang almost burst into tears.
Three years ago, that is, seven years after the disappearance of the third sister, the eldest brother and several brothers and sisters immediately couldn't wait to apply to the court to declare the third sister dead, because Hong Kong law stipulates that death can only be declared in a legal sense after seven years of disappearance, and the third sister has no heirs, so after the third sister was declared dead, the eldest brother of the Cao family and several brothers and sisters divided her property. Now that the third sister has returned, in fact, from a legal point of view, the eldest brother and sisters do not have to return those properties to the third sister, and the third sister is unlikely to win the lawsuit, but after all, the eldest brother is a celebrity now, and he can't be so ruthless from the perspective of public opinion guidance, so the eldest brother and sisters still swallowed it and spit it out some more.
And more than 200 million US dollars is the third sister's dependence for a life in the future, and she is short of money, how can she ask for it? )
