Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

Su Mu's cohabitation life was incredibly comfortable and peaceful.

Aside from being constantly clung to by Xia Qingwu in various ways every day, even taking out the trash required reporting to her, her life was actually quite alright.

The view shifts to the other side of Jiangcheng.

In the president's office of Tianmu Games.

The second brother, Liao Tianci, was sitting with his legs crossed without any regard for his image, deeply slumped in the large, imported genuine leather boss's chair.

He held a valuable purple clay teapot in his hand, put the spout to his lips, and took a satisfying sip.

"Wow, this tea is so clear and bright!"

It slid down my throat, and every pore on my body felt soothed.

He simply couldn't hold it in any longer.

He covered his mouth and chuckled.

My shoulders are twitching.

Outside the glass wall.

Several passing employees exchanged glances and quickened their pace.

It’s over.

The CEO has gone crazy these past few days.

The person who's laughing like a weasel who's successfully stolen a chicken is probably under too much pressure and has fried their brain.

How could Liao Tianci not be happy?

To survive in this world, you need to have an identity.

A couple of days ago, he casually posted a photo of Su Mu and Xia Qingwu together on his WeChat Moments.

Caption: [My best bro and his wife are happily married, a perfect match, locked in together!]

As a result, once this post was shared on WeChat Moments, wow, the entire Jiangcheng business district went into an uproar.

Who is Xia Qingwu?

He's the richest man in Jiangcheng.

Investors who usually treat him with disdain are now lining up to call him these days.

He addressed her as "General Manager Liao" repeatedly.

His attitude was incredibly amiable.

Going to meet people and discuss business is even more glamorous.

The other party didn't even finish looking at the PPT before making the decision.

Two days.

They managed to secure three major contracts through sheer force of negotiation.

The water tumbled upwards several times.

Liao Tianci placed the purple clay teapot on the mahogany table.

Pick up the phone that was lying face down on the table.

I skillfully swipe the screen and open WeChat.

I was just wondering which big boss would give him a thumbs up or a comment.

His eyes widened suddenly.

My eyes were practically glued to the screen.

At the very top of the list of likes on WeChat Moments, there was a familiar profile picture.

A lotus emerging from the water.

Nickname: [Shepherd Star Embraces the Heart].

Liao Tianci felt a chill run down his spine.

This is my great-grandmother's WeChat account.

That living ancestor of the Liao family.

Although he is only in his thirties, he is not much older than his grandchildren.

But seniority matters.

That was the faith of the entire Liao family.

A cold and aloof elder who never even replies to New Year's greetings sent to group chats.

He rarely praises younger people.

Almost never.

Today, I actually liked one of his posts on WeChat Moments, which is something I've never done before.

Before he could even recover his senses...

The phone screen suddenly jumped.

A voice call came in.

Caller ID: [Old Master Liao Xiuqi].

Liao Tianci's hand trembled, and he almost threw the phone away.

The old man was a close associate of my great-grandmother.

The head steward of the Liao family clan.

He quickly cleared his throat.

Slide down to answer the call.

My body involuntarily straightened up.

Most likely it's due to excessive stress, which damaged his brain.

Liao Xiuqi's aged yet powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Tianci, you've made something of yourself, you've really made something of yourself."

"Put everything down and come to the ancestral hall now. The clan has something important to discuss with you."

beep.

The phone hangs up.

Liao Tianci held the phone in both hands.

I was stunned for a full five seconds.

Then I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets.

Looking up at the hazy sky over Jiangcheng at a 45-degree angle.

There are words in the mouth.

"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high."

The old man personally called him and asked him to go to the ancestral hall.

Great-grandmother even gave it a thumbs up.

What does this tell us?

This definitely shows they value him.

This is to elevate his status within the family.

He might end up taking over the family's core business.

next second.

Liao Tianci could no longer hold back.

His hands were waving wildly in the air.

It jumped up and down twice in excitement, letting out an uncontrollable wolf howl.

"Yay!"

"I, Liao Tianci, have made something of myself!"

"It's done!"

"I, Liao Tianci, have succeeded!"

"Hahaha!"

His unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the office.

........

8 PM.

The core area of ​​Jiangcheng.

The ancestral hall in Liaojia Village, where land is extremely valuable.

A black Maybach slowly came to a stop on the cobblestone square.

Liao Tianci opened the car door.

My feet had just touched the ground.

I was completely stunned by the sight before me.

The ancestral hall, which is usually deserted, was brightly lit today.

The bright red lanterns hung high, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

The courtyard was packed with people; almost the entire Liao family of Jiangcheng had gathered.

From the elders who walk with canes and have lost all their teeth, to the infants who are still being held in arms.

They're all here.

Liao Tianci swallowed hard.

It's not Chinese New Year yet, is it?

Such a grand display.

I only remember seeing it once, about ten years ago, when the ancestral hall was to be demolished.

Was all of this to welcome him?

Hey.

It is not impossible.

After all, he is now a key figure who can connect with the richest man in Jiangcheng.

Liao Tianci straightened his suit and tie.

Stand tall and proud.

He strode inside with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.

The Liao family members on both sides turned their heads in unison, all their eyes falling on him.

Look.

This shows how much they value me.

This is impressive.

One of a kind in Jiangcheng.

Liao Tianci had just raised his hand, preparing to greet a few familiar uncles.

Inside the main hall of the ancestral hall.

Liao Xiuqi's deep voice came through.

"Come in."

Liao Tianci quickly withdrew his hand.

I quickened my pace and stepped over the high wooden threshold.

Inside the hall, thick incense sticks were burning.

Smoke swirled around.

Liao Xiuqi was wearing a black Tang suit.

His hair is gray.

He was facing away from him, offering incense to the ancestral tablets.

"Liao Tianci, kneel down."

Liao Xiuqi inserted the incense sticks into the bronze incense burner.

He didn't even turn his head.

Liao Tianci didn't say a word.

He bent his knees and knelt down on the prayer mat with a thud.

This was the first time in his life that he had entered the core area of ​​the ancestral hall alone.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

Is he really going to become the core figure of the Liao family today?

If it really works out.

My own game company, worth tens of millions, is nothing.

Perhaps the old man will be in a good mood and just give him a few branch companies worth billions to practice with.

Liao Xiuqi turned around.

Walk to the table next to him.

I picked up a thick, yellowed, thread-bound book.

That's the Liao family's genealogy.

He turned to one of the pages.

Pick up a brush soaked in thick ink from the brush washer.

Looking down at Liao Tianci kneeling on the ground.

"Liao Tianci, right?"

"You're pretty good."

"Truly fine descendants of the Liao family."

"I can't believe I know Xia Qingwu, the richest man in Jiangcheng."

Liao Tianci was so happy that his back teeth were showing.

He quickly and humbly lowered his head.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"We met by sheer luck."

"Ms. Xia is Su Mu's wife."

"Su Mu was my best buddy in college, and we shared a bunk bed."

"We have a very good relationship."

"If there's ever anything the family business needs from you, Mr. Xia, I'll definitely be able to put in a good word for you."

Liao Tianci felt like he was floating up to the roof beam.

No way, no way.

They're not really going to put a separate page for my family tree, are they?

The boss's wife is amazing.

He's practically his lucky star.

Liao Xiuqi's hand holding the calligraphy brush trembled twice.

His mustache stood up.

"In that case..."

"On behalf of our ancestors, I hereby present you with..."

Liao Tianci nodded frantically.

His eyes shone like two searchlights.

speak out.

Say it quickly.

Give me the project on that plot of land in Gangnam District.

Or let me join the group's board of directors.

I'm fine with either.

I can handle it.

Liao Xiuqi took a deep breath.

With a flick of the wrist.

The brush landed heavily on the family genealogy.

"I will expel you from the family register."

"From this day forward, you are no longer a descendant of the Liao family."

Liao Tianci's smile froze completely.

My mind went blank.

I was completely stunned.

He watched helplessly as Liao Xiuqi took the brush and was about to cross out his name.

"!!!"

Liao Tianci was terrified.

They scrambled over to it.

She grabbed Liao Xiuqi's leg.

Snot and tears streamed down my face instantly.

Why?!

"Sir, please don't act rashly!"

"What did I do wrong?!"

"I'm bringing business to the family, I'm bringing honor to the family, why are you expelling me from the family?!"

Liao Xiuqi kicked him away.

He was so angry that he was trembling all over.

He pointed at his nose and started cursing.

"You're something else!"

"You're so high and mighty!"

"You posted a photo of your great-grandfather with another woman on your WeChat Moments!"

"I wish them a long and happy marriage!"

"You unfilial descendant!"

"Your great-grandmother got cheated on!!"

"This isn't called bringing honor to your country; this is called treason and betrayal! You deserve to die!!"

"Guards! Bring on the family discipline! Give them a good beating!"

Liao Tianci collapsed to the ground.

My brain completely shut down.

Great-grandfather?

Other women?

My great-grandmother was cheated on?

His WeChat Moments posts only included Su Mu and Xia Qingwu.

Xia Qingwu is another woman.

That great-grandfather...

Is it a Shetland Sheepdog?!

Liao Tianci's eyes widened.

Five thunderstorms hit the top.

His mouth was wide open.

"You mean...?"

"Su Mu, he..."

"He's become my great-grandfather?!"

The clansmen outside the door had already rushed in with their family discipline sticks.

Two burly men grabbed his arms, one on each side.

Drag it out.

Liao Tianci gazed at the carved beams on the roof of the ancestral hall.

It let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"No!!!!"

"Don't play this game with me, world!!"
