Chapter 816: Guess Xiao Lingye’s identity
Xiao Lingyu learned about what happened to her brother at school from her husband, Gong Tianhao. Xiao Lingyu was surprised to hear that Xiao Lingye had the evidence all along.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Haha, I knew that my brother was the best.”
In his previous life, after Xiao Lingye was betrayed, he quickly pulled himself together. Then, he was hired by a well-known global company as the regional president.
In this life, although she did not know if her brother would still be hired by that global company, she knew that her brother’s fate had changed to a certain extent.
But a talented person like her brother could shine wherever he went. Now, he just needed time to grow.
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Yes, our brother is the best!”
At this point, Gong Tianhao told Xiao Lingyu, “Oh right, Yu ‘Er, the CEO of Xung Ten Corporation, Lei Junshan, said that he wants to take our brother as his disciple.”
“Lei Junshan?” Xiao Lingyu asked in surprise. Lei Junshan was a legend in the Internet technology world and was worshipped by many people.
“Yes!” Looking at his wife’s silly cuteness, Gong Tianhao’s heart was soft. His Yu’er was not only smart and beautiful, but she was also very cute.
A moment later, Xiao Lingyu reacted and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean by Lei Junshan told you? Hubby, what’s his relationship with you?”
Gong Tianhao said, “Yes, he’s my university classmate!”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “No wonder.” Then, she asked suspiciously, “Tianhao, tell me the truth. Did president Lei take Ye ‘Er as his disciple because of you?”
She was very happy that her brother would be directed by Lei Junshan, but if this relationship was because of Gong Tianhao, it wouldn’t be right.
Gong Tianhao gently knocked on her head and said in amusement, “Why do both of you have the same suspicion? You don’t understand Lei Junshan. If Ye ‘Er didn’t have the ability, no matter how good my relationship with Junshan is, he wouldn’t have taken Ye ‘Er as his disciple.”
Xiao Lingyu still asked suspiciously, “But with President Lei’s status in the Internet technology world, how could he have heard of someone as new as my brother?”
Gong Tianhao did not hide anything, “I brought it up to him. When he heard about it, he was quite interested. After that, he got someone to investigate Ye ‘Er. He was pleasantly surprised. He realized that our little brother has really great potential. He said that if he really nurtured our little brother well, his future achievements would not be inferior to his. Therefore, he is very interested in taking our younger brother as a disciple.”
Xiao Lingyu heard this and said with obvious surprise, “Does CEO Lei have such a high evaluation of our younger brother?”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “That’s right. Lei Junshan said that our younger brother has this talent. He was practically born for this line of work.”
Xiao Lingyu felt that it was unbelievable. Lei Junshan, as a god of the Internet technology world and a leading figure, actually had such a high evaluation of Xiao Lingye.
Gong Tianhao said, “When Lei Junshan accepts our younger brother as his disciple, let’s have a meal together.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “That’s for sure!” His younger brother was accepted as a disciple by Master Lei. This was a big deal. Xiao Lingyu asked again, “When?”
“Lei Junshan said that the sooner, the better. The time is set for three days later,” said Gong Tianhao. “I’ve asked Ye ‘Er about it. There’s no problem with the time.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay.”
At this point, Xiao Lingyu suddenly thought of something and said, “Does Ye ‘Er have any arrangements about his company?”
Gong Tianhao immediately smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry about that. Originally, the 20% shares of Teng Fei company should have been worth around four million. But our brother just sold them to those who betrayed him at a high price of more than eight million.
“Moreover, the company orders were basically all negotiated by our younger brother. Since our younger brother is no longer in the company, those business partners naturally aren’t willing to cooperate with the company anymore. Plus, the reputation of those people is ruined. Who would work with them?
“Those businessmen are all shrewd. Without the technology and guarantee of our younger brother, they don’t trust the company at all!”
Xiao Lingyu couldn’t help but gloat, “Haha, those people really brought this on themselves. So what if they get Ye ‘Er’s shares? They don’t have his ability. What is Ye ‘Er thinking now? Or does he have any plans? I know he must have.”
“Yes!” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “You know Ye ‘Er better than I do.”
“Of course. We are siblings who grew up together,” Xiao Lingyu said confidently.
“Ye ‘Er said that Teng Fei company is like his child. It’s impossible for him to let go just like that,” Gong Tianhao said with a smile.
“So, what do you mean?” Xiao Lingyu blinked and said with a slightly excited expression, “Does Little brother still want to take back the company?”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Of course! Who would be willing to let go of their child ?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said with a smile, “That’s true.”
Any smart person would know that Teng Fei had its current value, thanks mostly to Xiao Lingye. As long as those partners were smart, they would wait for the company to grow and get more dividends. However, they were too shallow and could not resist the temptation of women. They only saw the benefits in front of them, so they destroyed their own benefits.
Gong Tianhao was confident in Xiao Lingye, “After Ye ‘Er left the company, the company’s current business partners would terminate their contracts with Teng Fei. After all, the reason why they cooperated with the company was because of Ye ‘Er’s skills and sincerity.
“After that, the company will shrivel up and die. Besides, Ye ‘Er’s partners are backstabbers. Who would be foolish enough to work with them?”
The most important thing for a businessman was honesty and sincerity!
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “In a way, we should be thankful that those partners show their true colors now. This will be worse if it happens when the company is bigger.”
Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Yes, that’s true!”
…
After Jiang Rong came back from school, his face didn’t look too good, and his expression was gloomy.
When mother Jiang saw it, her heart thumped, and she had a bad premonition. She asked anxiously, “Hubby, how did the discussion with the school go?”
Jiang Rong said with a serious expression, “I paid the price and learned from principal Zhang that there was a big shot involved in the handling of those five people.”
Jiang Rong’s mother was shocked and said in disbelief, “Big Shot? What Big Shot? Can he be bigger than the Jiang Family? Could it be one of the families?”
Her eyes widened as she thought of some kind of guess, but then she covered her mouth and shook her head, “That’s impossible. Shuyu said that he was just a poor kid from a remote area. How could he have such a big backer?”
Jiang Rong couldn’t help but ponder for a moment before saying, “I checked that kid’s background. That Xiao Lingye came from a remote area. But do you know what that remote village is called?”
“What’s it called?” Mother Jiang asked.
“Taoyuan Village!” Jiang Rong said.
“Taoyuan Village?” Mother Jiang was surprised at first, but then she said with some doubt, “But even if that’s true, it’s just a developing village. Why does it have anything to do with the capital?”
Jiang Rong suddenly asked, “Do you know what Gong Tianhao’s wife’s name is and where she’s from?”
Jiang Rong’s mother thought for a moment and said, “I remember her name is Xiao Lingyu, and she’s from Taoyuan Village!”
The Gong family welcomed their mistress home with great fanfare. Since she was so valued, the upper-class circle of the capital naturally needed to know a little about her background. If they bumped into each other one day, they wouldn’t accidentally offend her.
“That’s right. Gong Tianhao’s wife is called Xiao Lingyu, and the poor kid that Shuyu mentioned is called Xiao Lingye,” Jiang Rong said seriously. “He also comes from Taoyuan Village. Do you think they are not related?”
After hearing this, Jiang Rong’s mother said in shock, “So, you’re saying that Gong Tianhao most likely has interfered in the boys’ expulsion?”
Jiang Rong said with certainty. “It’s definitely possible. No other big shot has any connection to Taoyuan Village.”
At this point, Jiang Rong’s father suddenly thought of something and immediately urged his wife, “Quick, give Shuyu a call and ask her. The last time we went back to the Jiang family for a meal when we came back, wasn’t there someone waiting for a bus in the wealthy district? Was it this Xiao Lingye?”
Mother Jiang obviously thought of this as well. Then, without any hesitation, she gave Jiang Shuyu a call.
The call was quickly picked up. After hanging up, mother Jiang’s expression was very ugly.
“How is it? Is it him?” Jiang Rong asked anxiously.
If it really was that person, then their daughter had caused a lot of trouble, one that could bring down their whole branch.
At the thought of this, Jiang Rong was anxious and angry.
Mother Jiang nodded with great difficulty and said, “That’s right, it’s him!”
Their faces instantly turned pale.
Jiang Rong immediately reacted and said furiously, “Quick, call her back!”
The person their daughter had offended was Gong Tianhao’s wife’s family. Furthermore, the methods she used were despicable and shameless. With Gong Tianhao’s short-sighted, narrow-minded, and cold-hearted personality, he would definitely not let her off.
Jiang Shuyu was called back by her parents in a hurry. However, the moment she entered the house, she noticed her parents’ ugly expressions. Her heart could not help but thump. She had a bad feeling.
“Dad, Mom,” Jiang Shuyu called out carefully.
She was slapped heavily.
Jiang Shuyu was stunned by her father’s sudden slap.
She covered her right cheek, and her eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Ever since she was young, her father had only occasionally said a few stern words, but he had never hit her. But now, he gave her a big slap. What exactly happened?
“Dad?” Jiang Shuyu couldn’t help but call out.
“Hubby?” When mother Jiang saw her daughter being beaten, her heart ached. “What’s the matter now? Why did you hit her?”
Father Jiang pointed angrily at Jiang Shuyu and said loudly, “She has brought us a huge disaster, and you’re still thinking about protecting her?”
Jiang Shuyu felt wronged and asked with tears in her eyes, “Mom, why is father so angry?”
“You still have the audacity to ask that?!” Father Jiang angrily pointed and shouted.
“Dad, what did I do to make you so angry?” Jiang Shuyu felt even more wronged and asked, “You have to tell me clearly!”
Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Shuyu and said seriously, “Shuyu, we may have offended the Gong family.”
“The Gong Family?” At first, Jiang Shuyu was confused. Then, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said in surprise, “How is this possible?”
She always knew what to do. She wouldn’t offend the powerful families.
Mother Jiang sighed when she saw her daughter’s confused look. Then she asked, “Shuyu, what did you say the name of that poor boy was?”
“His name is Xiao Lingye. Why?” Jiang Shuyu didn’t react for a moment.
Mother Jiang asked again, “Do you know the name of Gong Tianhao’s wife?”
Jiang Shuyu thought for a while and said, “Her name is Xiao Lingyu!”
“Yes, one is Xiao Lingyu, and the other is Xiao Lingye. Xiao Lingyu came from Taoyuan Village in City Z, and your father has investigated Xiao Lingye. He also came from Taoyuan Village.” Mother Jiang said seriously, “I remember the last time when we were returning home from the Jiang family’s ancestral residence, we met Xiao Lingye on the road. At that time, it was very likely that he went to the Gong family! Therefore, we can conclude that Xiao Lingye and Xiao Lingyu are definitely related, and they are also very closely related to the Gong family.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Jiang Shuyu’s face turned deathly pale. She said in disbelief, “How is this possible? If he is related to the Gong family, why didn’t he say anything, and no one in school knows about it?”
Hearing that Xiao Lingye might have a relationship with the Gong family, Jiang Shuyu’s heart collapsed.
If she had known that he had a relationship with the Gong family, she wouldn’t have provoked him, nor would she have framed him. As an instigator, she was in deep trouble.
“Mom, what kind of relationship does Xiao Lingye have with Gong Tianhao’s wife, Xiao Lingyu?” Jiang Shuyu asked nervously.
Father Jiang said loudly, “No matter what kind of relationship they have, they must be related. That’s for sure.”
If Xiao Lingye was invited to the Gong Family, then he must be related to Xiao Lingyu. If they were just ordinary neighbors, the Gong family wouldn’t have invited him over.
“That’s not right.” Jiang Shuyu still said in disbelief, “If they are related, then why was it that when Xiao Lingye was there, the Gong Family didn’t send someone to drive him back, but he took the bus back on his own?”
“Idiot!” Father Jiang cursed in anger, “That Xiao Lingye has been at the Imperial university for so many years, but no one knows about his relationship with the Gong family. This means that he is a very low-key person. Since he wants to keep a low profile, he definitely doesn’t want the Gong Family to send him back.”
As long as that Xiao Lingye was slightly high-profile, people would know about his relationship with the Gong Family. However, no one in the entire imperial university knew about it.
If it weren’t for this incident, Jiang Rong wouldn’t have thought of checking his background and wouldn’t have thought that he was related to the Gong family.
Jiang Shuyu immediately understood. She held her mother’s hand with a pale face and asked worriedly, “Mom, what should I do now?”
She would never have thought that Xiao Lingye had such a powerful background.
If she had known…
