Chapter 718 Looking for someone
"you……"
It took a long time for the air to flow again.
And every time Wen Rong took a breath, it was like mixing paste, sticky and difficult to form a sentence: "What do you mean?"
But he regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth, and immediately continued: "Of course I know how I have let them down, but Wandao is gone, and my neglect of Ah Can in the past few years can no longer be changed. But I still have a future, and I will treat Ah Can well... The first thing is to support him in doing anything he wants to do! Instead of letting him be forced by you to return to the company and sit in that position, feeling depressed every day like he is in prison!"
The louder he spoke, the more he spoke, and in the end he was even filled with righteous indignation, as if he was standing up for his poor son.
And Wen Shengtian looked at him as if he were a monster the whole time - he really was looking at him as if he were a monster, as if he had never known this person before.
But in the end, he held on to his expression, and with a twitching face, he grabbed Wen Rong's hand.
Because of his impassioned speech just now, Wen Rong's sleeves were already rolled up a lot, and the old man's nails dug into his exposed arms mercilessly and even viciously, leaving several bloody marks. Wen Rong's face turned pale with pain and he was about to scream, but the old man's burst of force was so great that he didn't have time to shake him off and he staggered and almost fell on the bed in a mess. After finally holding up his body, he looked up and was about to get angry, but he was first met with the old man's bright and sharp eyes like a burning needle.
"I ask you."
He gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and asked him word by word, "When you came back from Nangang, who gave you the wounds on your face and body?"
“……”Wen Rong’s eyes changed.
"Let me ask you, what happened between you and A-Chan in Nangang? Did you have a conflict? Did he discover something?!"
“…What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Wen Rong couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to shake him off, "What can A-Chan and I do..."
"Stop fooling yourself!"
Wen Shengtian growled, veins popping out on his forehead: "Do you think I'm hurting you? Do you think I'm doing this because I look down on you and value Ah Can more?! You idiot! I'm saving you!"
"What rescue..."
"A-chan's legs have never been disabled!"
Wen Shengtian said fiercely, staring at him with his eyes: "I know, you know too! You should have understood it since he had to stand up for Ye Kong! He has never been disabled! Ye Kong talked nonsense in front of the media, saying that he couldn't stand up because of mental disorder, but we all know that he is not! The hospital's verdict at the time was that his neurological function was damaged and he was permanently disabled! He couldn't stand up just because he wanted to! So he was all pretending! He was never disabled at all!"
“……”Wen Rong’s expression gradually stiffened.
"Do you know why he pretended to be disabled and deceived all of us?" Wen Shengtian still stared at him gloomily. "Isn't what happened in Nangang enough for you to understand?!"
"..." Wen Rong's lips trembled, and his eyes on his pale face wandered around. Finally, he made an equally wandering sound, "He hates me and blames me for ignoring him all these years, so he rebelled belatedly..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"
The old man burst into laughter.
He laughed exaggeratedly and passionately, his withered body leaning forward and backward on the bed, slapping the pillows, but in the end, the smile turned into sadness and despair, even anger, and fury: "How could I have a son as stupid as you, who is so self-deceiving and cowardly?!"
He didn't seem to be asking Wen Rong, but more like asking himself in confusion.
Wen Rong was enraged.
His face, which had just turned pale, quickly turned red again: "Yes! I am not worthy of being your son! But there is no way, you can only accept your fate, because I am your blood, I am destined to be the only stain on your glorious resume! I am destined to inherit the kingdom left by the great Wen Shengtian! Not your grandson or your daughter-in-law! But me!"
He shook off the old man's hand, stood up, looked down at him, gnashed his teeth, and said with a loud voice: "It's me, your son Wen Rong - I am your only heir - whether you admit it or not, whether you hate it or not, the group and the Wen family will be inherited by me."
He took a final deep breath, slowly rolled down his sleeves, and said slowly, "If that's all you called me to say, then let's stop here, Dad."
"I'm also sorry that I had to be your son, but there's no way to change that."
He raised his head slightly: "Even if you wish I were dead, I am still your only son. I inherited your genes and blood. If you think I am stupid, cowardly, and useless, that is also what I inherited from you."
He took a deep breath and said, "Go to bed early, Dad. Even though you hate me, I still hope you can live a long life. It would be best if you can watch me run the company and the Wen family well."
Wen Rong turned and left.
The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly behind him: "Wait a minute! I haven't finished yet! Think about it carefully! Do you know what Ah Can wants to do?! Do you really think he is still the good son who talks to you about everything? Wen Rong! The group cannot be destroyed for a hundred years..."
boom--
After the sound of the door closing, the old man's shout was interrupted by an unexpected cough.
He propped himself up on the bed, coughing and murmuring in pain: "It can't be ruined in our generation, and it can't be ruined in your hands."
When the old housekeeper hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in, the old man's cough had stopped.
He leaned against the head of the bed, and his eyes, which had been bright just now, had become empty and turned into a flickering candle.
The old housekeeper quietly poured him some water and took some medicine.
In the subtle and crisp sound, only the old man could be heard mumbling to himself, which sounded like a sigh and a laugh: "If I hated you, why would I try so hard to cover it up for you and maintain the relationship between father and son?"
"Is it really all my fault?"
·
Over the next two or three days, Wen Can was caught dating Ye Kong less frequently. Instead, the media took photos of the Wen father and son dining out together on several occasions.
Most of those who dined with them were directors of Wen's Group.
After the identities of the diners at the table were revealed one by one, different opinions began to arise in some secret forums and among many wealthy families’ friend circles.
-What exactly does the Wen family mean by this? Didn’t Wen Can say he would not return to the company? Why did he go with them to meet the director?
-You believe in marketing tricks? With a huge cash cow like Ye Kong standing there, why wouldn't he increase his popularity among the public? When he returned to the company, he said it was his father or grandfather who asked for it.
-No, I don't want to go back to the old days. I don't want to confront Wen Can anymore.
-Who said it wasn't? I would rather deal with ten Wen Rongs at the same time than see one Wen Can across the negotiation table. Hiss, if that's the case, wouldn't Wen Rong become Mr. Wen again?
-How come it's like a final decision? Wen Can might just be accompanying his father to meet the directors, maybe to persuade them to vote for his father.
-How is that possible? Can you imagine your company giving up a leader like Wen Can and supporting someone like Wen Rong? Mr. Wen would never let that happen.
-I also don't think Wen Can will return to the company
-If he really brought Wen Can as a lobbyist to canvass votes for himself, then Wen Rong, as the chairman, is really a coward hahaha
- It's pitiful when you think about it, because he is a pretty wimpy father.
-What's so pathetic about this? If I had a son like Wen Can who is so awesome that he can even choose his girlfriend from the best of the best, I would wake up laughing every night, and the first thing I would do when I wake up is fly to the sky.
……
While Wen Can was busy, Ye Kong was not idle either.
She would work on her manuscript for a while, then be in a daze for a while, and then one morning when she woke up, she suddenly gave up staying in bed, went downstairs, and took a bus directly to an address she had only been to once.
The beautiful little house stood quietly in the morning light.
The lights were not on, but it was still dim, allowing one to imagine the mother and daughter waiting for each other at the door.
It was drizzling in the morning, so Ye Kong opened an umbrella.
At this moment, she was standing silently in front of the door with an umbrella, until a neighbor opposite went in and out three times and called her suspiciously. Then she tightened the umbrella handle in her hand and turned her head away uncomfortably.
"Do you have any business with this family?"
Perhaps because she looked a little suspicious wearing a mask, the neighbor across the street poked her head over and asked, "You've been standing here for nearly 20 minutes. Did you go the wrong way?"
"..."
Ye Kong took a deep breath: "I didn't go wrong."
The girl's voice came from under the mask, as cool and pleasant as the morning rain: "I'm here to find Qu Wu."
"Ah, you're here to look for Xiao Qu."
After hearing her name, the neighbor pulled up his collar awkwardly and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you knock on the door? Xiao Qu's mother should be awake by now and will open the door for you."
"..."
Ye Kong gripped the umbrella handle, his lips tightly pursed under the mask, but he said nothing.
When the neighbor approached, he discovered that there was a little girl under the umbrella. She was clean from head to toe and exuded cool air. Her long eyelashes were slightly fluttering under her long hair that was constantly blowing in the wind. He felt soft-hearted for a moment, but also suddenly felt heroic.
"Hey, let me help you knock on the door!"
She stepped forward briskly and rang the doorbell decisively.
