King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Upon hearing Lin Lan's voice, I yanked open the door, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her inside!

"Acheng...why are you crying?"

After Lin Lan staggered to her feet, she grasped my hand and asked with heartache in her eyes, "What happened? You're bleeding so much, what did you do?"

"Bang!"

After I kicked the door shut, I grabbed Lin Lan by the neck and slammed her against the wall: "You son of a bitch! Tell me the truth! Did you already know... Song Guolong is my dad?"

Upon hearing my question, Lin Lan's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes widening in shock as she stared at me...

"Um!"

Tears streamed down Lin Lan's face, and she choked out, "Husband... I'm sorry! I, I..."

I let go of her hand, and Lin Lan's body went limp, collapsing against the wall and sitting on the floor. Then she knelt down in front of me, hugged my legs, and sobbed...

"Stop fucking crying!"

I frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? What's going on between you and Song Guolong...?"

"Waaah! Honey, you've misunderstood! Waaah! There's nothing between him and me... Waaah! I haven't done anything to betray you... Waaah!"

Lin Lan's tears soaked my trouser leg. She choked back sobs as she asked, "Husband, who told you about this? Waaah!"

"snort!"

I sneered, "Lin Lan, don't worry about who told me! If you keep it from me, I'll go ask Song Guolong!"

"don't want!"

Lin Lan clung tightly to my ankle, sobbing uncontrollably, "Husband, don't break the ice! At least not now, waah!"

"Hmph... Sigh!"

I snorted coldly, then let out a long sigh: "Lin Lan, look at your conscience... How did I treat you during those four years of university? I treated you like a precious gem... I'd save you seats early, pick you up and drop you off late, I'd skimp on my own food and drink, always putting you first... Even when I opened a bottle of water, I'd let you have the first sip... Sigh! My mother got uremia, and when you came to my house, she even gave you her gold bracelet... Have you lost your conscience?"

"Waaaaah! Husband, I'm so sorry! Waaaah!" Lin Lan cried uncontrollably.

"Don't fucking say sorry!"

I glared at you and angrily retorted, "The most worthless thing in this world is 'I'm sorry'! You're tired of me, you've gotten bored with me, I don't blame you, people are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm... I'm not trying to morally blackmail you! The problem is, after four years of giving you... can't I even get a single honest answer from you? Why do you treat me like a fool? I hate you!"

At this moment, I truly sympathize with Xu Meijuan!

She said that she hated Gao Kai, not because she hated him for going out to have fun, but because she hated him for taking her for a fool and lying to her without telling the truth!

“Wuwu!”

Lin Lan cried bitterly, leaning further down, her forehead resting on my shoe...

"Honey... I'm telling you the truth, but... promise me, after you know the truth, you absolutely mustn't... mustn't ruin this situation. Everything I've done is for you!"

"explain!"

I glared at her angrily.

"Husband... Waaah!"

Lin Lan sobbed, "Three years ago, didn't you take me to a talent show? Three days after the event ended, Song Guolong came to the school to find me. You were taking a shower in the school's bathhouse at the time, and we couldn't get in touch with you..."

She sniffled and continued, "He revealed his identity as the sponsor of this talent show. I was so excited, thinking I had been chosen, that I got into his car and went to the headquarters of Song's Capital..."

Lin Lan recounted everything that happened back then, haltingly...

At that time, Lin Lan was naive and innocent. When she arrived at the headquarters of Song's Capital, she was deeply shocked by the magnificent mansion that resembled a private palace. Song Guolong took her directly to his office and issued her a paternity test report!

The above shows that my kinship with Song Guolong is 99.99%.

Lin Lan, of course, didn't believe it!

Song Guolong then issued another blood donation report!

The record above shows our blood donations together, which happened a month before we went to participate in the talent show.

That time, the school organized a blood donation drive. Lin Lan and I were both honest kids, and we thought we'd just donate a little... As a result, we ended up revealing our DNA!

Song Guolong confessed to Lin Lan that he had secretly come to the school to see us several times during the past month, and the more he looked at me, the more I resembled my birth mother... He had wanted to talk to Lin Lan alone for a long time, but he had never had the chance! Because we spent every day together, we were always inseparable!

Moreover, he never expected... that the two of us would participate in the talent show he sponsored!

Then, Song Guolong told Lin Lan about my embarrassing past and showed her a photo of my birth mother...

Just like me, Lin Lan was also caught in a huge existential crisis, finding it hard to believe the reality before her eyes!

Song Guolong admitted that he had been searching for me all these years... but he just couldn't find me.

So he came up with a wicked plan: he bribed blood donation centers across the country to screen blood donors in schools, hoping to find his son who had been missing years ago...

Because this is of utmost importance to him. He only has five daughters and no sons... and this son is likely to inherit all of Song's assets in the future!

Lin Lan was stunned. She felt both excited and panicked, and didn't know how to react!

Song Guolong emphasized that, "Precisely because I am the only male in the Song family, I not only have to shoulder enormous responsibilities, but I also have to cultivate an indomitable will! I cannot be just an ordinary little boy!"

Adversity and suffering are the best university in life!

First, he wanted me to learn "decluttering"... to separate from Lin Lan and accept his business plans!

He also emphasized that if I could withstand his test, he would seriously train me to be the heir to Song's Capital!

But if I'm impatient and easily agitated, then I'm not cut out for it...

He can't let the entire business empire be destroyed in my hands...

As for Lin Lan, if she truly loves me, she should actively cooperate with Song Guolong's "successor training" plan!

Only girls with strategic acumen and exceptional business acumen are worthy of being the Song family's daughter-in-law...

The Song family needs rational and strong leaders, tigers and wolves that prey on prey... not those petty lovers who are obsessed with romance, making a scene, being clingy and indecisive!

The first step in Song Guolong's plan was to make Lin Lan break up with me, and then plant her in the Xu family as a "spy" to help him spy on the Xu family's business secrets!

......

After listening to Lin Lan's story, my head was buzzing... It was another "information tsunami" that swept through my brain!

"So... you agreed to his request?" I frowned as I looked at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan knelt on the ground, hugging my ankles and sobbing, "Husband, my periods are usually very regular... But back then, my period was seven days late, so I bought a pregnancy test, and it showed two red lines... I knew I was pregnant, and I wanted to tell you the good news... Waaah! But we were so poor back then, we didn't even have the money for an abortion... I didn't want to upset you, waaah! I didn't want to lose this child, it's our first pregnancy! I've been living in constant anxiety every day..."

Lin Lan hastily wiped away her tears and continued, "And I'm so unwilling to accept this! Husband... For four whole years, I saw you eating, wearing, and using such poor food... Do you remember? Back then, to buy me a new phone, you ate instant noodles for two months, only eating one meal a day, sob sob! When I found out later, my heart ached so much! You shouldn't have lived like this, my boyfriend shouldn't have lived like this, I'm so unwilling to accept this! Sob sob! I want to make you take back everything that should belong to you... Sob sob!"

"husband!"

Lin Lan knelt down, raising her tear-streaked face: "Actually, I know my place. I'm just a girl from a poor family. I can imagine... your father is just using me, and he might not even let me become the Song family's daughter-in-law in the future... but it doesn't matter! I also know you'll hate me! Curse me! Swear at me! Even fall in love with another woman, marry another woman, and have children with another woman... but as long as you're okay, as long as you can take back everything that originally belonged to you, it's all worth it! I'll bear all the infamy, I'll suffer all the sins, sob sob sob! You can call me a slut, call me a whore, I'll accept it all... as long as you're okay, it's all worth it! Sob sob sob! I already have Duoduo, I'm content for this life, sob sob sob!"

Lin Lan's sobs felt like steel needles piercing my heart!

I really didn't expect... her to be so stupid!

To say that I don't love her at all anymore, how could that be?

I just can't face my true self. She was my first love, our first time together... How could such an unforgettable love just disappear like that?

But how can I bear this kind of sacrificial love...?

I'm reminded of Xu Meijuan's words: True love only asks for giving, not for receiving! Love is altruistic, not selfish! To truly love someone is enough; as long as they are well, that's enough for me...

"You're so silly! How could you be so foolish?"

I wiped away my tears, grabbed Lin Lan and pulled her up, holding her tightly in my arms, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably!

"Honey, sob sob!"

Lin Lan hugged me tightly, crying, "I'm so upset for you! I'm so upset for your mother! I want to help you take back everything that belongs to you! Waaah! As long as you're okay, I'll do anything! Even if you don't want me anymore, I won't blame you!"

Then, she looked up and gently stroked my face, her eyes red from crying as she looked at me earnestly, muttering somewhat frantically, "Husband! You will succeed! You will definitely succeed! You will inherit Song's Capital's business empire, you will become the true king of capital! Husband... For you, I, Lin Lan, am not afraid of anything! I am willing to die for you! Even if it means jumping into a sea of ​​fire and never being able to escape!"

She had barely finished speaking when the door to the storage room was pushed open...
