Chapter 469 The grudge between a wealthy family and the beautiful woman uttered foul language. The word "bastard" expressed her indignation, and the doubts in everyone's minds were relieved.
Another family feud full of joys and sorrows, just like the Yang family that is currently in a state of turmoil.
The origin of the matter begins with the previous head of the Augustine family, Qi Lier's grandfather, Old Arthur.
Old Arthur has two children. Qi Lier's adoptive father is the eldest son, who is honest and knowledgeable, while the second son is a playboy with a bad record. As he grows older, Old Arthur also begins to worry about the issue of his successor.
Tangled, the eldest brother has good character, but he is not as good as his younger brother in financial investment. As the saying goes, a person who is good at all kinds of skills is not as good as a good one. Qilier's adoptive father is such a negative example. However, after comprehensive consideration, old Arthur
I am more optimistic about the eldest son, because the Augustine family has followed an ancestral motto for generations, that is, harmony brings wealth and fair trade.
It is true to do business in a harmonious and calm manner. This principle seems simple, but it is also very difficult to achieve this level of business.
Old Arthur believed in the ancestral precepts passed down from generation to generation, but the second son was a deviant. Although he repeatedly made huge profits through speculation, he also made countless enemies for the family. What made Old Arthur even more angry was that the second son had always been arrogant.
Their domineering style is not only notorious in the business world, but also in the small American towns where they have lived for generations.
The balance in Old Arthur's heart began to slowly tilt towards the eldest son. Under Old Arthur's urging, the eldest son gradually gave up all his hobbies and focused all his energy on the management of the family. He was focused on one line of work, and the eldest son
He did his job well and made great achievements.
Just as old Arthur became more and more satisfied with his eldest son, a new problem also surfaced.
As you get older, you naturally have to start a family and start a business, but the eldest brother's marriage problem has become a worry for old Arthur. The eldest girlfriend is his college classmate. This female college student is beautiful in appearance and dignified in conduct. She is excellent in everything, except for her poor background.
He was born in a poor family, which made Old Arthur very dissatisfied. For the sake of the future of the family, Old Arthur hoped that his eldest son would marry a well-matched lady, but this time the eldest son did not follow his father's order. He and the old man
Arthur was making a fuss.
After seven or eight years of quarreling like this, Qilier's father was already in his early thirties, and old Arthur had also entered his sixties.
With the persistence of the eldest son, Old Arthur finally changed his original intention and reluctantly agreed to the marriage of his eldest son. A year later, Qilier's eldest sister came to the world, but unfortunately, Qilier's adoptive mother was lost forever due to dystocia during childbirth.
Fertility. This tragedy made old Arthur sigh incessantly. He often lamented to the servants that the family had no heirs. The eldest couple did not care about the issue of heirs. In their view, the era has entered the new millennium, and some outdated old concepts should also
Then they abandoned her. It’s the same for boys and girls. Their daughter is the fruit of their love and the apple of their eye that they regard as a treasure.
Some people are happy and some are sad. The eldest son's family is happy, but old Arthur is constantly resentful. Half a year after the eldest daughter was born, old Arthur suddenly got a surprise. The second son returned home with a **-year-old boy in his arms.
There was also a paternity test certificate issued by the hospital for Old Arthur. Looking at the big red stamp on the paternity test certificate, and then looking at the little boy in his arms, Old Arthur became happy and thought of naming the little boy Ya.
se.
This name is self-evident, representing old Arthur's emotional sustenance, but at the same time it also exposes his stubborn thought of favoring sons over daughters.
Time passed little by little. In the next two years, in order to prevent their only daughter from feeling lonely, the eldest couple adopted two female children from the orphanage. They were Qilier and her second sister.
The three sisters treat each other equally and care for them in every possible way. In the past two years, the second child has also married little Arthur's mother. The couple are completely the same, one likes to fool around, and the other has a coquettish and dissolute nature. It is precisely because of the second child.
Due to his wife's bad behavior, there is always a saying among the servants that little Arthur is not the second son's biological son, but a bastard born of his mother's affair with a man outside.
I don’t know whether it was due to the influence of rumors or because they had no relationship foundation, but the conflict between the second couple became more and more serious. From the initial quarrel to the fight, they gradually developed into physical violence. However, this couple also has a principle.
That is, they talked about things behind closed doors, and they were affectionate in front of outsiders like a model couple. The only one who turned a deaf ear to this gossip was old Arthur, who loved his grandson very much, and little Arthur also
He was very good at pleasing his grandfather. As a result, the old Arthur, who already favored boys over girls, became even more sarcastic towards the three sisters of his eldest son's family.
The second eldest couple did not have any more children after their marriage, and little Arthur became the only male descendant of the Augustine family.
Watching little Arthur grow up day by day, old Arthur began to feel entangled in his heart again. There was no male in the elder's family, which forced old Arthur to reconsider the issue of successor. Although he was determined to cultivate his second son, the second son was...
A piece of mud that cannot hold up a wall. In recent years, he has been addicted to wine and sex. His bohemian life has consumed his ambition and his business acumen. He has repeatedly made mistakes in investments, coupled with constant disputes with his wife,
This made his temper even more violent. In the seventh year after little Arthur came to Augustine's house, the second son got drunk and quarreled with his wife again. The wife was also resentful of the abuse over the years, so the two fought, and finally
The second brother accidentally beat his wife to death.
Young Arthur, who was only sixteen years old, witnessed his mother's tragic death, but he behaved extremely calmly. He drove away the frightened servants and had a long talk behind closed doors with his father, who was also frightened and at a loss after he sobered up.
Then the two of them went to Old Arthur's study together. No one knew what little Arthur and his son talked about, and no one knew what happened in Old Arthur's study. In short, the three grandfathers and grandsons who walked out of the study were all
Very calmly, they summoned the servants and announced that the second son's wife accidentally hit the corner of the table and caused the bloody disaster.
The funeral ended in a hurry. Old Arthur was completely disappointed with his incompetent second son and was ready to announce his eldest son as the future head of the Augustin family. Logically speaking, the second son who had caused great disasters should also rest for a while, but he
But he kept tossing harder and harder. This time, the second child targeted his elder brother, and they fought with him no matter how big or small the matter was. Although the kind-hearted elder was tolerant, the second child pressed harder step by step. In order to
To balance the conflicts in the family, Old Arthur decided to postpone the announcement of the successor. The original intention was not to irritate the second brother, and he hoped that both brothers could take a step back and have a brighter future. However, this well-intentioned original intention made the second brother even more unscrupulous.
There was a feud in the family, and old Arthur was very depressed and fell ill in bed.
Many elderly people are very taboo about getting sick, and the same is true for old Arthur, who is the head of a wealthy family. Lying in the hospital bed and learning from the pain, old Arthur finally made up his mind and wanted to officially announce the successor issue. It was at this juncture.
Last night, the second child came to the eldest brother's house uncharacteristically and vowed to make peace with his brother again. The eldest brother was very pleased and readily accepted his younger brother's banquet. After the dinner, the eldest son returned home and suddenly vomited blood at midnight, and before the doctor arrived, he
Then he passed away and passed away.
After hearing the bad news, old Arthur was filled with grief and anger. He struggled to get up from the hospital bed and wanted to go to the second son's home to find out what happened. However, he heard the bad news again. The second son committed suicide by drinking a bullet at home, and it was his grandson who came to deliver the message.
Little Arthur. Looking at the crying little Arthur, Old Arthur said nothing. After Little Arthur left, Old Arthur ordered his most trusted servant to send Qilier and her daughter to Kauai overnight.
A week later, the servant received the bad news through a secret channel. Old Arthur died of illness, and the Augustine family was officially taken over by Young Arthur.
"After that, we never received any news from the Agustin family. Another five years later, that is, eleven years ago, the financial crisis broke out in Argentina. At that time, it was rumored that this tragedy was directed by the Agustin family. Later.
When we grew up, my eldest sister once sent people to the American continent to inquire about the Augustine family, but found that they had moved away from the small town where they had lived for generations fifteen years ago."
After Qilier finished telling the story of the past, she felt as if she was wilted, her head drooped, and she lamented again and again.
"Miss Qilier, there seems to be no conclusive evidence about the relationship between international hot money and the Augustine family." Xu Lu asked.
"I can be sure that it was 100% Arthur who did it." Qi Lier raised her head, her eyes full of resentment and anger. "In this world, only the Augustine family has such huge financial resources, and what Arthur did
, exactly the same as what his father did back then, they are both profit-seeking people, and as long as they can get benefits, they will do whatever it takes, regardless of the consequences."
Feeling a little solemn with anger, Ye Feng took the opportunity to joke. "Sister, didn't you say Arthur is a bastard? How can he be like your second uncle?"
"Those who are close to vermillion are red, those who are close to ink are black, and Arthur is still better than blue." Qi Li'er quoted two ancient Chinese proverbs in succession. "The reason why I say he is better than blue is that he is better than blue.
He does have a certain skill in financial investment, and he can even be called a genius. On the other hand, this man has always been careful and ruthless. He was the one behind my father's poisoning death. As for his father's suicide by drinking bullets, it was purely to deceive others. His father was a victim of others.
A scapegoat who was playing tricks on everyone. Also, if my grandfather had not died of illness, he must have been killed by Arthur, because I heard from the old servant that Arthur secretly bribed many people during that time, including
The housekeeper who has been with Grandpa for many years was also bribed by him, which is why Grandpa sent people to send us out of the American continent overnight."
Although everyone had already had a premonition of this, they still felt shuddering when they heard about it. After all, those things happened when Arthur was sixteen years old. He killed his uncle and his father, and then killed his grandfather. What a minor could do
Such evil deeds are truly shocking.
"Why did Arthur do this? Is it to avenge his mother?" Liao Xiaoxuan asked with confusion on his face.
"Yes, because he saw his mother being killed with his own eyes. This is the source of hatred in his heart. He hates everyone in the Augustin family." Qilier did not explain too much, snorted coldly. "There is another important reason.
, because he is a man, and men are all ruthless, cold-blooded animals. The reason why I came to Tianjing this time is because a man betrayed my eldest sister. Without my eldest sister's secret support, how could it be his turn to be a senior official of the Ministry of Finance?
. Now that his wings are strong, he just wants to disobey orders. Huh, he thinks that if he doesn’t provide national reserve funds, I won’t be able to help Huanyu Group. He is so naive..."
Senior officials of the Ministry of Finance, national reserve funds, these words reminded Ye Feng of a certain person, and at the same time, they also surprised him.
"Could it be that you are talking about Yang Ziqi?"
