Sheng Di was lying on the bed, feeling as if he had had a nightmare and it was time to wake up.
But this nightmare was real. He didn't make it up, nor did anyone else add fuel to the fire. Everything was his own choice.
Sheng Di is the creator of this nightmare, and now he must be the one to bear it.
After waking up from the dream, he was still the same as before, but he changed from the number one son of Shanghai to a prisoner.
Sheng Youde did not have the heart to abuse him, so he sent someone to put him under house arrest in his own bedroom. However, his shoelaces, tie and belt were all taken away, and everything in the house that could be used to commit suicide was also taken away by bodyguards.
Taken away.
In fact, the bodyguard also knew that the young master did not have the courage to commit suicide at all. These were just going through the motions, which also gave him a big psychological blow.
Not allowing a person to commit suicide is tantamount to depriving a person of his right to die. It also implies that the decision about life and death is no longer up to him. If he wants to die, he must be sentenced and executed by the judge after receiving severe punishment.
The meals are still delivered on time and are cooked according to the usual recipes, so the quality has not declined.
When Sheng Di saw this, his heart became hot, and he felt that he still had hope of escape. If his uncle locked him in a dark cell and ate the cornstarch, he would be completely doomed.
He was full of guilt, but he felt that he was also full of grievances. If there was no real reason, he didn't want to do that, and he didn't want things to develop to this day.
Looking back now, how did things develop step by step until today? The scenes are really unbearable to look back on.
It probably started the year before last, when my uncle called one of the most famous lawyers in Shanghai to sign a will in his study.
Sheng Di regrets it now. If he hadn't been curious and read the will secretly, what happened later would not have happened.
The lawyer had frequent and urgent urination and went to the toilet at Sheng's house several times. Sheng Di couldn't bear it anymore and secretly opened the lawyer's wallet and took out the will signed by Sheng Youde.
Although he didn't read everything, he saw Sheng Youde's inheritance distribution ratio, which was the most critical content in the will.
He could hardly believe his eyes. In Sheng Youde's inheritance distribution plan, his share only accounted for a mere 5% of Sheng's total property.
He knew very well that 5% of Sheng's property was a huge amount, enough for him to spend his whole life eating and drinking.
However, this is not just a matter of money, but why.
He is the only male descendant of the Sheng family. Even if he cannot inherit all the property, he should have at least half of it. Any less, forty percent cannot be lower. This is his psychological limit.
He knew that with Sheng Muyi here, he could not inherit all the family property, and he did not dare to be so greedy, but he always believed that his uncle who loved him would definitely give him half of the family property, otherwise he would keep calling him "Di'er". That was not a lie.
?
He never imagined that what was given to him was not fifty percent, but one-tenth of fifty percent, a pitiful five percent.
He did not read the entire contents of the will. When the lawyer came back, he quickly put the will back and left pretending that nothing had happened.
Perhaps from that day on, an evil seed took root in his heart, corroding his gratitude and loyalty to his uncle day and night.
What he was most angry about was not this, but that his uncle actually gave Lu Ming 10% of the inheritance, and Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu also had 5% each.
They are not from the Sheng family at all, so why should they divide the Sheng family's property? Why should they take away the property that should belong to him?
Especially Lu Ming, a careless guy, actually got five percent more money than him. Why? Isn't this too cruel? Uncle actually divided up the Sheng family's property like this?
An absurd idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Although he thought it was absurd, he felt more and more that this idea might be true.
Isn't Lu Ming his uncle's illegitimate son?
He remembered that when he was a child, his uncle had a special preference for Lu Ming and cared more about Lu Ming's life and study than he cared about him.
When he grew up, his uncle also had plans to arrange for several of his children to study abroad. Mu Yi and Lu Ming, who had a foreign surname, actually had the same weight in his heart.
Back then, my uncle sent Mu Yi and Lu Ming to study in the United States, but did not send him abroad. Is it because Lu Ming was his uncle's illegitimate son and he was just a nephew?
Although Yuan Ziyuan also studied in Japan, it was paid for by the Yuan family themselves. Lu Ming studied in the United States, but his uncle had established various connections and the Sheng family spent money to send him out, and he was treated the same as Mu Yi.
How could the Lu family's financial resources afford him to study in the United States? Later, he traveled throughout Europe, and after returning to China, he bought an apartment in Wanguo Apartments.
I'm afraid all this money came from my uncle's pocket. Only by understanding this can everything that happened before make sense.
Yesterday, his uncle actually allowed him to take out his gun and kill someone. This was the most powerful evidence, proving that his previous guess was correct. If it was not his biological son, how could he be so aggressive towards him? Give him such great power?
The more Sheng Di thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. If Lu Ming was really his uncle's illegitimate son, all this would make sense. The ten percent was just a cover-up. After all, Yuan Mingzhu also had a five percent share. Yuan Mingzhu also had a five percent share.
After marrying Lu Ming, they naturally took possession of these, and the couple owned 15% of the Sheng family's property.
This was done openly, but there were many ambushes hidden secretly.
Every time Sheng Di thinks about this, he feels like he has been stabbed in the heart, but he doesn't dare to tell anyone, let alone question his uncle. He just often silently asks the sky at night, why is God so unfair?
Although he has never participated in the Sheng family's business venture, he has been conscientiously helping his uncle manage the business in the past few years. Doesn't he have some credit?
How come Lu Ming can get much more property than him by eating, drinking and having fun all day long without doing anything serious? Is he working for Lu Ming?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he could only sulk.
Because of his uncle's preference for Lu Ming since childhood, he has always been afraid of Lu Ming. It can be said that at home he is afraid of his uncle, but outside he is afraid of Lu Ming. Although Lu Ming has always been very affectionate and respectful to him,
I have never bullied him, but he is still a little scared.
Of course, he did not dare to go to Lu Ming to question him. This bold guess could only be quietly buried in the darkness.
A few years ago, Japanese people continued to come to visit Sheng Youde, requesting all-round cooperation with Sheng's Industries to jointly create the Chinese market and Japanese market and share profits.
Sheng Youde rejected the Japanese's request for cooperation without hesitation every time without any reason.
The Japanese were confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. Shouldn't the merchant be bargaining? Why were they refusing without any reason?
The business tycoons in Shanghai must have very flexible minds. How could they give up the benefits that are easily available to them?
In Sheng Di's eyes, this was also a mystery. The uncle was obviously trying to push the money away. The Japanese's threshold for cooperation was extremely low, but the uncle still refused without any room.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Japanese businessmen try to use Sheng Youde's connections to gain a foothold in Shanghai, but this is not a shameful thing. In doing business, you still have to rely on your own vision and courage.
Sheng Di once had the courage to ask his uncle why he did this, and Sheng Youde told him that the first commandment of Sheng's industrial business is to never do business with the Japanese, without any reason.
Sheng Youde also has a few good friends in Japan, all of whom are big conglomerates such as Sumitomo and Mitsubishi. Whenever they come to Shanghai, Sheng Youde will warmly receive him, but it is only limited to contacts between friends and they will never discuss any business.
After Sheng Di gradually took charge of the Sheng family's industry, the Japanese also approached him many times in private, asking for personal cooperation with him to ensure that he would make a lot of money. Sheng Di did not dare to violate his uncle's commandments, and gritted his teeth.
One refused.
It was as if he saw a mountain of gold and silver right in front of him, but was not allowed to dig it. Sheng Di developed a kind of jealousy towards his uncle, but he was powerless and did not dare to make his own decisions.
The Japanese saw his hesitation and sensed his reluctance, so they invited him to travel to Japan to see Mount Fuji, appreciate the cherry blossoms, and soak in hot springs.
Even so, Sheng Di still didn't dare to agree, and he didn't dare to tell his uncle about his trip to Japan. Instead, he sneaked away under the pretext of a business trip.
