On the other side!
Recently, Tang Lei encountered a big event.
Someone came from a remote small city to Tsinghua University to find him.
A few police officers also came along.
In the past, Xu Mo and others had left information and DNA at the police station in order to find their respective biological families.
Some were lucky enough to be found, but in fact, most of the children could not find their parents.
A while ago, it was said that a couple who had been searching for their child for seventeen years finally found him, crying profusely and thanking the heavens.
That family, in order to find their child, had exhausted all their assets.
As for Tang Lei, someone just happened to come looking for him, and the police asked him to cooperate with the testing.
When you’re poor, no one cares even in a bustling city; when you’re rich, you have distant relatives even in the deep mountains!
Tang Lei is now a wealthy man, with a net worth of at least 500 million, holding a 5% stake in Little Monster Bicycles, and he has been admitted to the prestigious Tsinghua University, a genuine high achiever with a bright future.
For a while, Xu Mo’s success overshadowed their achievements, leading to them being less known. If it were any other time, the three of them would have already been famous nationwide.
Tang Lei is rich, not to mention the shares he controls; even in his hands, there are millions in cash.
That was a bonus the company had previously given him.
Millions of yuan, for most poor families, is a very high concept, not to mention that Tang Lei’s net worth is far beyond that.
The person who came was a rather elegantly dressed peasant woman, accompanied by her husband, who was quite burly.
Tang Lei originally didn’t want to cooperate with the testing, but after consulting Gu Huanzhou and Li Ban Zhu, he obediently went.
Xu Mo didn’t offer an opinion, as this was something Tang Lei should decide for himself.
After waiting for two days, the DNA results were basically a match, confirming a parent-child relationship with the peasant woman, who immediately burst into tears.
She wanted to hug Tang Lei, but he dodged her, not knowing what to do.
Tang Lei was abandoned.
This was something he had known for a long time.
According to the peasant woman, her former husband had betrayed her, and she couldn’t afford to raise Tang Lei, so she threw him away.
Later, the peasant woman remarried and had three more children. She suddenly saw news about Tang Lei on her daughter’s phone and thought he looked like someone, so she decided to look for him.
This peasant woman was actually quite well-off, with a car, a house, and farmland, not lacking in food or clothing at all.
She told Tang Lei that the reason she came to find him was simply because she had a change of heart and missed him, and she also provided information about Tang Lei’s biological father.
Hearing this, Tang Lei was momentarily stunned!
“She never thought of looking for me before! It was just because she saw the news! We did a lot of news and advertising recently and gave a few interviews!”
Tang Lei stood in front of the tall window, looking into the distance, with a lonely expression: “I inquired, and it turns out their family is actually quite wealthy, and everyone is living very well. She has lived a very affluent life for the past decade or so! I guess she was afraid her current husband would be unhappy, so she didn’t dare to look for me!”
Xu Mo remained silent, also gazing at the distant scenery.
“And my biological father, I also got his information; he’s on his way to the capital! His family runs a fruit company, with a modest amount of assets and several properties!” Tang Lei continued, his voice betraying no emotional change, then suddenly turned to look at Xu Mo, tears already in his eyes: “Xu Mo, do you find it ridiculous? We no longer need these things!”
“How do you plan to handle it?” Xu Mo asked after a moment’s thought.
“They want me to visit their home, but that’s impossible! I won’t go!” Tang Lei said: “I’m the same as you, I consider them as if they no longer exist!”
“That’s because my situation is special!” Xu Mo said.
“I doubt mine is much better! My situation is also special; they’ve already formed different families!” Tang Lei took a deep breath: “But now we have money, we don’t lack these things anymore! Compared to that, I’d rather go to our godmother’s side!”
The godmother Tang Lei mentioned is the old director Tang and Mr. Zhao, with whom they have always had a good relationship, recently chatting and laughing together.
Tang Lei had even taken time off a few days ago to fly back to Xiahai City to have a meal with them.
“It’s good if you can handle it well!” Xu Mo said.
“Do you know what’s the most disgusting? The most disgusting thing is that she actually wants me to arrange a position for her son! Right in our company! Her son is idle and jobless, and she actually has the nerve to think about this without even trying to hide it! I can’t stand such things!” Tang Lei’s expression was pained as he continued.
“You’ll get used to it when you see more of it!” Xu Mo smiled.
“I won’t get used to it! Never! I know what they want; they just want money!” Tang Lei gritted his teeth: “But no, I won’t give them a single cent!”
Xu Mo chuckled: “It seems you’ve learned well from me!”
“Actually, we used to envy you a lot! Such a big family, such a wealthy tycoon, we never imagined things would turn out like this!” Tang Lei said.
“Work hard, study hard, and don’t overthink it!” Xu Mo nodded, patting his shoulder to comfort him, ending the topic.
Gu Huanzhou and Li Ban Zhu also came over to talk with Tang Lei about his biological parents. They felt a mix of envy and amusement.
“Overall, we’re still envious!” Gu Huanzhou said with a smile: “Tang Lei has found his parents, and so have you!”
Xu Mo shook his head: “Not finding them leaves some room for fantasy, but finding them leaves no room for fantasy! If possible, I’d rather not have found them!”
Gu Huanzhou approached, her face full of gentleness: “Will you ever return to the Xu family?”
“No.”
“That’s good!”
Tang Lei quickly handled his situation.
He met with his biological father, who brought several people along. They acknowledged each other as father and son, and the father wanted Tang Lei to recognize his ancestors.
Tang Lei refused.
Tang’s father must have been proud.
His son was a high achiever at Tsinghua University, held a fortune, and was a renowned tycoon and angel investor; how could he not be proud?
However, the more they were like this, the more Tang Lei felt disgusted and repulsed, even feeling that they were full of hypocrisy.
After talking with them, Tang Lei’s face was lifeless.
He remembered in his past life, Tang Lei never acknowledged them and didn’t know who they were. It was probably in this life, with their increased fame and numerous appearances on TV and in reports, that they sought him out.
Xu Mo didn’t bother with these matters and began to release news about Deverna’s counterfeit products.
Xu Wanting was quite amusing!
She wore a face of repentance, guilt, and grievance, as if she always wanted to portray herself as noble and righteous.
However, Xu Mo was not as noble and righteous as she was.
Why pretend to be noble and righteous if one is going to be despicable? What’s the point of dressing up so high and mighty?
Xu Mo no longer wished to see her.
…
News about Deverna’s counterfeit and carcinogenic products began to be released in small quantities.
At first, the moves were small, without much fanfare, just building momentum. Later, the news gradually increased and began to spread on a small scale.
…
During this time, Xu Wanting was extremely busy.
She had returned to Xiahai City, working at the Deverna building, focusing on the company’s stock price and product launches, busy beyond belief.
Only when she occasionally had some free time did she think about family matters, still feeling a blockage in her heart.
Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming were living apart, showing no signs of reconciliation, having been in a cold war for over two months.
The sisters sometimes had to shuttle between the two places!
