Translator: Sissy That Walk
Driven by great curiosity, netizens went on digging, it turned out Di Qiuhe’s grandfather was indeed somebody! As early as decades ago, this grandfather travelled overseas and made a great fortune that was more than enough for his family to spend for a lifetime, and he kept making money while he travelled around the world. To everyone’s surprise, he was behind the founding of Huangdu.
This tycoon who had retired from his warrior days now suddenly became the new president of Da Ze, the rival company of Huangdu, what a complicated yet delicate relationship.
Done digging information of Fan Da, the netizens went on digging about Da Ze, they were even more taken aback on what they were seeing.
Holy crap! What a competent company! So many projects were invested by them, even Huangdu was invested by them at one point! Not long ago Da Ze ceased the cooperation with Huangdu, and it took a toll on Huangdu, their stock rice plummeted. On hindsight,could the underlying reason that Da Ze ceased cooperation with Huangdu be that Di Qiuhe was driven out from Di family?
Such drama great wow.
The internet was stirred up.
And Di Bian now was going through the paperwork that he prepared for the meeting with the new president of Da Ze later.
“Mr. Di, second young master just called, he said...”
“Is there much to say? I told him to ponder upon one’s faults after he started a fight with others, that doesn’t leave him much to say back!”
Di Bian interrupted his assistant impatiently, then he collected his paperwork and groomed his tie, complaining about his second son to his assistant, “Such a good-for-nothing, all thanks to the Qin family! Look at his big brother and look at him, alas!”
The assistant lowered his head, wouldn’t dare to continue. Mr. Di was getting more and more impatient when it came to the second young master, he talked about the first young master more and more, he barely looked at that first born when he was still in Di family.
Di Bian indeed harbored some hatred against Qin family, how could Huangdu reduced to such condition if not the involvement of Qin family? How could Liu family would have a fallout with them? Dieyou Records of Liu Family was a strong competitor in the business, and the farce initiated by Qin family cost Huangdu the chance to work with them.
Such a good-for-nothing Di Xiasong was!
He got even more riled up thinking about Di Xiasong’s doing. Then he thought about Da Ze’s reach out and felt a bit appeased, then he walked out of the office with the paperwork in hand, totally ignored the assistant who was standing in the corner.
Arriving at the place, Di Bian groomed his suit when Lawyer Wang pushed open the door and walked in, when he saw a old gentleman sitting on the host chair, his smile became brighter and he walked towards the old gentleman.
Fan Da gave him cold treatment, he didn’t even stand up, “Di Bian, we don’t see each other often, last time we saw each other was when my daughter Lianxiu married you, but you, being my son-in-law, didn’t recognize your father-in-law, how ridiculous are you!”
Di Bian froze. It took him a solid second to come across what he was hearing, then he looked up and down at the old gentleman sitting in front of him.
“Lianxiu’s features are more like her mother, but her profile is more like mine.” Fan Da replied coldly, then he sneered after a pause, “Now to think of it, it’s quite natural that you cannot recognize me, you probably have long forgotten what Lianxiu looks like, all you can see is your new wife and the kids you had with that women!”
“You...you..are Fan...Fan...” Di Bian finally recognize who he was, he stepped back subconsciously and supported himself on the chair, beads of sweat broke out from his forehead, his face was blushing crimson, “Mr. Fan, I thought you have disappeared.” He thought Fan Da had long gone.
“Disappear? I know you have always thought I was dead.” Seeing Di Bian’s reaction, Fan Da sneered, “Di Bian, I gave my daughter’s hand to you, you promised me to take good care of her, tell me, tell me how come she ended up a miserable death and her only son was driven out of his own family? What did you call me? Mr. Fan, you are the one who refused to see me as your father-in-law, great, there’s no need for me to see you as my son-in-law.”
Di Bian was in great shock, he was looking at Fan Da with horror in the eye, he could not digest all this.
“I think I’ve put a certain weight in Huangdu.” Fan Da gave Di Bian a meaningful look sitting on the chair, looking like a sword which was hidden in the scabbard now was ready to strike an attack, “When Lianxiu married you, the dowry I gave her was considerable, and I told Da Ze to always look after Huangdu and you kids. Now that I’m back, my daughter went to paradise to gather with her mother, I’ll take care of Qiuhe from this day on, and Huangdu is no longer my concern.”
Hearing him mentioning Huangdu, Di Bian quickly collected his thoughts, and he appeared as a changed person, acting all surprised and overjoyed, “Father, where have you been all these years? Me and Lianxiu had tried every possible way to reach out to you. As for Qiuhe, I can explain, he was doing this to protect me, he is and he will always be the young master of Di family, this has never changed in my heart. I’ll welcome him home once I’ve settled accounts with Qin family.”
