At this time, whoever came to the shop to look for me, I knew without thinking that he must be from the Lai family, so I didn't move, just sat there and looked at him.
"Young Master? I have finally met you."
The old man walked in tremblingly, and when he saw me, he was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
"The Lai family sent you here, right?"
I remained unmoved and just looked at him indifferently.
"Yes, it was indeed Changbai who asked me to come to you, but I mainly wanted to come and see you. After so many years, even I didn't expect that Changyu actually has a son."
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.
That way, it really doesn't look like he's showing off.
"You know my dad?"
I asked quickly.
"More than just acquaintance? I watched Chang Yu grow up back then."
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but fall into memories, "At that time, I was the housekeeper of the Lai family. I have been with your grandfather for most of my life. He has always regarded me as his family. It's a pity that your grandfather left too early, which led to what happened later.
Tragedy.”
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but sigh and wiped the wet corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"What happened back then? Why did my dad leave the Lai family?"
After hearing this, I finally felt a little moved, because this old man obviously knew what happened back then.
"Back then, your grandfather suddenly suffered from a serious illness. Before he died, he hurriedly handed over the huge Lai family property to your father. Originally, he was going to inherit the position of the head of the family. As a result, your uncle and three brothers
They conspired together to plot against your father, cut off three of his fingers, and drove him out of Kyoto. Since then, I have never seen your father again."
Having said this, the old man's eyes became moist again.
"Actually, I have been looking for him for many years, but since then, there has been no news from your father, as if he has disappeared from the world. I thought he had been murdered a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he was homeless and fled all the way to Jiangcheng.
, and having you here is also an eye-opener for God.”
Upon hearing this, my fists were completely clenched, and even my fingernails were dug deeply into my flesh.
Back then, my father had three of his fingers cut off and was driven out of Kyoto. He was displaced all the way and fled to Jiangcheng. He then hid incognito in our humble little village and spent half his life doing nothing. Just thinking about all of this makes me sad.
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Even if I can't empathize with him, I can still imagine how he felt under that kind of experience.
No wonder my dad ended up risking his own life to set up that big deal. The Lai family owes him that, and I will now be the one to settle this debt.
"This is what Changbai entrusted me to bring to you."
The old man said and took out a bank card and handed it to me.
"This is Hua Xia Bank's Diamond Gold Card, with 10 billion in it."
"Ten billion?"
This number did shock me for a moment, but then I sneered, "Is a quarter of the Lai family's property worth just this little?"
"No, Changbai said, this is just pocket money for you."
The old man shook his head quickly.
"Pocket money? Ha!"
I couldn't help but sneer again, "The Lai family is really generous. You can take the money back, I don't need it."
"You'd better accept it. Every child of the Lai family will spend more than this amount when they grow up. Changbai gives you this, and you deserve it. As for the share that the Lai family owes you, sooner or later
They will all be returned to you, this one can’t escape.”
The old man said very firmly.
"Will it cost that much?"
My outlook on life was shattered on the spot.
Ordinary people probably have been working since the age of apes, but they still can’t make that much money today, right?
But just raising a child costs tens of billions of assets.
Are the gaps between people so big?
This simply made me confused again.
"The Lai family has a lot of money, and of course they will not be stingy with their children. When your father was in Kyoto, he didn't even know how many luxury houses and cars he owned. Alas, it's a pity that things are unpredictable."
Having said this, the old man couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"Then when you come to me this time, do you represent you personally or the Lai family?"
I asked the old man very seriously.
Because this is directly related to his position. If he is here on behalf of the Lai family, then no matter what relationship he had with my father before, now we are on the hostile side.
"I have already left the Lai family."
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have taken my name, Xu Zhongcheng. I am a loyal person, so after your father was kicked out of Kyoto, there was no room for me in the Lai family."
, but Changbai and the others still respect me, after all, I had a close relationship with your grandfather back then."
"Grandpa Xu, thank you."
When I heard this, I was somewhat moved.
"Young master, you have offended me. In fact, I have always felt guilty for not taking good care of your father. I am very satisfied that I can still see you today."
Xu Zhongcheng said with a happy smile.
After the old man left, it felt like a big stone was weighing on my heart, so heavy that I couldn't breathe.
My uncle and others treated my father like that back then. Do I just want a quarter of the family property in the end?
So what about all that my father suffered back then?
"It's time for you to pay your debts."
I gritted my teeth and muttered to myself.
The phone rang suddenly. I took out my phone and saw that it was Chen Yurou, so I quickly picked up the call.
"You are Lai Changming, right? Your wife is in my hands now. Come to Haiyue Building Materials Company to find me. You come alone. If you dare to call the police, I will kill your wife."
There was a strange man's voice on the phone. After speaking, the other party hung up the phone directly.
At this time, my expression changed completely, I quickly grabbed the bank card on the table and rushed out.
I rushed all the way to Haiyue Building Materials Company. When I saw Chen Yurou in the office, she was huddled in the corner with a scared look on her face, and there was a very clear slap mark on her face.
Two burly men stood at the door with their arms folded, and there was also a wretched middle-aged man with a bald head and a big gold chain, sitting on the sofa with a golden sword.
When Chen Yurou saw me, she rushed up and got into my arms, and then she started crying aggrievedly.
The bald man looked at me arrogantly and said, "Do you know why I called you here? Your wife broke my blue and white porcelain vase worth fifty million."
He pointed to the broken porcelain bottles on the floor, "If you can't get the money, don't even think about taking your wife away."
"It wasn't my husband who broke it, it was him who asked me to come over to discuss cooperation. As a result, he threw the vase on the ground. And there is no way that thing is worth 50 million."
When Chen Yurou heard this, she became anxious.
"It's okay, daughter-in-law, don't worry."
I quickly hugged Chen Yurou into my arms, then looked at the bald head coldly and said, "Fifty million for the vase, right? I'll pay you, but who hit my wife just now?"
"It's me? What's wrong? She hit the vase and refused to pay compensation, and she ran away. What happened if I hit her?"
The bald man looked very arrogant.
"Which hand did you hit?"
I narrowed my eyes and continued to ask him.
"That's it. Come and have a look. See if I can slap you to death?"
The bald man said as he shook his right hand, which also had several bright rings on it.
"good."
I nodded, then let go of Chen Yurou and walked over.
At this moment, the bald man's eyes suddenly widened, and then he raised his hand and slapped me in the face.
I grabbed his wrist with my backhand and twisted it hard. I heard a "click" and I broke the bald man's wrist on the spot.
