Chapter 42 42, the truth
It has been more than two months since He An was found out, and there has been no news from Alex. Song Bai was naturally anxious to know, but with the mentality that no news is good news, he has not urged him, and now finally There is an answer.
Song Bai was stunned when he heard Alex's words suddenly: "Who is it?"
Alex didn't answer him directly, but instead asked, "Do you know the Song family in Hong Kong City?"
Song Bai was a little confused, but soon understood: "You mean my grandfather's house..."
He follows his mother's surname Song, and the Song family in Hong Kong City. If it is related to him, it can only be the family of his maternal ancestor, whom he has never met. Moreover, the four characters of Song Family in Hong Kong City sound very tall. Could it be that he What other identity does mother have that he doesn't know?
Alex said: "The Song family of Hong Kong City is a powerful family that grew up in Hong Kong City in the 50s. Although it fell for a period of time, it rose again in modern times. Now it is one of the richest families in Hong Kong City. The Song family The head of this generation is already 92 years old, he has eight sons and six daughters, your grandfather is one of them."
Song Bai opened his mouth, for a moment he didn't know whether he should be shocked by the fact that he suddenly had a rich N-generation relative, or whether he should be shocked by the old man's ability.
"My mother said that my grandparents had already passed away..."
Could it be that his mother was a folk "princess" who accidentally wandered away because of the death of his parents?
Song Bai imagined various plots in an instant.
Alex pushed the information in front of him: "Your mother is right, your grandparents did die a long time ago, your mother was only five years old at that time, you..."
What's the name of grandpa's father?
"Great-grandfather." Song Bai reminded him.
"Your great-grandfather felt sorry for your mother's loss of parents. Your grandfather's biological mother also passed away long ago. She was your great-grandfather's third wife. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter, which is your..."
When it comes to titles, I get stuck again.
Now Song Bai didn't know what to call him, so he simply turned on his mobile phone to Baidu: "Is my grandfather an older brother or a younger brother?"
"It's my younger brother. He is the youngest of your great-grandmother's three children."
"Oh, that's my uncle's grandfather and aunt."
Alex was a bit troubled by these titles: "It's not a good thing to have too many children and live too long, and these titles are too complicated."
Song Bai's mind was also a little confused, and he said, "That's why there are so many brothers and sisters in the grandparents' generation. Our generation just wants to have so many brothers and sisters."
Alex continued the previous topic: "After your grandparents passed away, your great-grandfather raised your mother by his side and took care of him until your mother was 20 years old and eloped with your father."
Song Bai choked, and after a while, he said, "She can do it."
"And then?" He moved his dry throat.
Alex looked at his expression and said: "When they eloped, Hong Kong City hadn't returned yet, and your mother probably didn't leave any news when she left. With the means of communication at that time, and you couldn't openly seek someone, Song The family failed to find your mother, and later announced that your mother was in poor health and went to Europe to recuperate, but I have been looking for it in private all these years."
Song Bai first put aside those things of the previous generation, and said sharply: "The person who wants to kill me is from the Song family? Because of the will?"
He had thought of it before, not to seek revenge, but also to cause him to die accidentally, what else could it be except inheritance.
At that time, he thought that it might be someone from his grandfather's side, but he didn't expect that things would be so complicated, far beyond his imagination.
Alex pushed his chin to the information given to him: "You will understand after reading this."
Song Bai picked it up and opened it, and found that it contained detailed records about everyone in the Song family.
The current head of the Song family, his great-grandfather Song Yingxian, married a total of three regular wives and three concubines because of the special nature of Hong Kong City.
Together these six women bore him fourteen children.
The original wife of the big house died early, leaving only one son, who is also the oldest in this generation, already in his seventies, and his children and grandchildren are all over the place.
The wife of the second room gave birth to three sons and three daughters, the most children. The six children got married and had children. The children and grandchildren can form two football teams. It is the most prosperous branch of the Song family.
The third wife, who was Song Bai's great-grandmother, was supported by his concubine. At that time, she had already given birth to a son and a daughter. After being corrected, she gave birth to Song Bai's grandfather, but soon fell ill and passed away.
Looking at the photo of his great-grandmother whom he had never met before, Song Bai finally understood what it means to be beautiful.
After the death of the great-grandmother, the great-grandfather never remarried, nor helped the remaining concubines. The remaining three sons and two daughters were the children of the three concubines.
And these three aunts have also passed away one after another over the years.
Song Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion for his great-grandfather's longevity, what's the use of having three wives and four concubines, and he's still not single in the end.
And it's not just wives and concubines, he has experienced a lot when a white-haired man sends a black-haired man.
Compared with the flourishing of the second room, the third room can be described as miserable.
The older brothers and sisters of Song Bai’s grandfather have all passed away. The older sister left early and did not leave a child behind. The elder brother did keep one, but an accident happened last year, leaving only one grandson, which is Song Bai’s cousin. Brother, this is not a fake cousin like Jiang Can, but a real cousin.
Needless to say, Song Bai's grandpa and grandma are here, only his mother is alone, and she even eloped, and now he is the only one left.
Seeing this, Song Bai couldn't help but linger on the photo of his real cousin for a few seconds, and they were considered brothers and sisters.
Moreover, the real cousin was also in danger a year ago and almost drowned in the hot spring. It was said to be an accident, but combined with Song Bai's experience during this period, it is really hard not to make people think too much.
His cousin probably thought the same way. After he was rescued, he changed from the old dude and worked hard to make progress, and jumped out of the Song family to start his own company...
Wait, Song Bai frowned, why did he seem to have heard this paragraph somewhere?
After thinking about it, I can't remember it, so I can only put it aside for the time being and continue to look down.
Next is the distribution of shares and property announced by the Song family. The old man is very fair. Brother Song Jie had his own share.
As for the children born to the concubine, although the law has been changed repeatedly, illegitimate children have the right to inherit, but the inheritance will naturally have to wait until the old man Song is gone. And status, the property in hand will certainly not be less.
Song Bai had never met the Song family, nor had he had any contact with them. Just looking at the information, he couldn't tell who wanted to attack him, to be precise, wanted to attack Sanfang.
Only him and his cousin are left in the third room. As long as they are gone, the property belonging to the third room will definitely be distributed to other people, but I don’t know if the vested interests are the second room or the illegitimate children.
He turned the last page and looked at Alex.
Alex showed helplessness: "Sorry, so far I only found out that this matter is related to the Song family. I followed the clues to find out the relationship between you and the Song family. The other party is too vigilant. I haven't found out who it is."
The main forces under him are all in country M. Given the country's national conditions, it is easy to check some ordinary families, but it is not so easy for people like the Song family.
Song Bai was not disappointed either, it was already very powerful to find out the source, at least he knew why he was coming at him, so that he would not die for no reason someday, but speaking of it, if it weren't for Jiang Can and the others, it would have been a long time ago Let the opponent succeed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help being glad they showed up.
He carefully flipped through the information again, slowly digesting the sudden news.
The unreasonable things in his memory were finally supplemented. He remembered that when he was a child, his mother did speak with some Cantonese accents, and later it became standard Mandarin. At that time, he only said that his mother was from Shenzhen, but now it seems that it is an excuse.
And my mother is versatile, she can play piano, dance and oil painting, and she can speak English very well. An City belongs to the inland north. In the 90s, it was not as prosperous as it is now. don't remember anything.
Song Bai chose to live on campus in junior high school and rarely went home. At that time, he only wanted to stay away. Even when he went home, he was silent. Until their death, they didn't communicate much.
And their death...
Song Bai remembered his father's expression when he drove out that day and the advice he gave him, and it may not be an accident.
But he chose to remain silent, silently accepting the fact that his parents died.
He looked at the photo of his mother on the information, it was her appearance when she was a teenager, standing in the garden in a beautiful dress, with a bright and bright smile.
Gradually, it became the gentle and paranoid face in memory.
He pursed his lips: "How did my father know my mother?"
How could his father, a poor boy from the mainland, know the daughter of a rich family in Hong Kong?
Alex said: "Do you remember your father's biological mother? She ran to Hong Kong City with a Hong Kong businessman who came to the mainland to invest. Your father contacted her after growing up and went to Hong Kong City. As for him and you How did the mother know each other? They probably only know about it, and I'm afraid your great-grandfather didn't know about it, otherwise they wouldn't have missed your mother for so many years."
"I only found out that your father stayed in Hong Kong City for half a year and brought your mother back. Your grandfather only knows that your father went to Shenzhen City to do business. He brought your mother back from Shenzhen City. Nobody knew he went to Port City."
Song Bai thought of his father's appearance when he was young. He was indeed handsome. Most importantly, he was very good at talking. Now he is called high in emotional intelligence, but unfortunately he is a scumbag.
Thinking of what he had done, disgust flashed in his eyes.
"None of my great-grandfather's people came here, but the person who wanted my life was found..." Song Bai glanced at the family portrait.
It seems that his great-grandfather no longer has such authority in the Song family.
Song Bai pondered while digesting the information, and finally said: "Can you help me get in touch with my cousin? I want to meet him."
He guessed that it was an inheritance, but he never expected that it would be so big. He couldn't push it all to Alex to solve it, he had to figure out a way by himself.
Of course, he didn't fully trust that cousin, what if it was actually the cousin who knew about his existence and wanted to take the inheritance of the third room all to himself?
But in comparison, only this cousin has a relatively high level of trust. He wants to meet someone first, and then talk about it after contact.
Alex obviously thought about it a long time ago, and directly took out an invitation letter: "There will be a reception in three days, your cousin will be there, and I will arrange it then."
"Thank you." Song Bai looked at the invitation letter and made up his mind.
