In the end, Chen Ming’s grandfather, the elder of the Wharton family, relented on the condition that Chen Ming could return to the Wharton family, but he didn’t have the right to inherit. He didn’t agree to let a person who wasn’t a pure-blooded citizen of Country M, inherit the Wharton family. As for Chen Ming’s father, at that time, his only thought was to let Chen Ming return to the Wharton family. As for the right to inherit, he didn’t even consider Chen Ming at all.
Therefore, Chen Ming entered the Wharton family. Although he was the eldest young master of the Wharton family in name and enjoyed all the material treatment of the Wharton family’s eldest young master, the servants within the family looked down on Chen Ming, they would often bully Chen Ming in secret.
In the first few years, Chen Ming’s life within the Wharton family was very difficult.
As for his father, in the second year after he returned to the Wharton family, he married his current stepmother, who was also a young lady from a large family in country M. as a result, his status in the Wharton family became lower and lower, it also became more and more awkward. Many people in the Wharton family were waiting to see him become a joke.
Everyone was discussing whether he would be expelled from the Wharton family after his stepmother gave birth.
One had to know that his stepmother was a very powerful woman, and her ambitions were not small.
Perhaps the higher-ups pitied him, but what those people wanted to see did not happen because his father had been married to his stepmother for two years and had never had a child. As for his father, when his stepmother went to the hospital to check, it was his father who had a problem, and his father was no longer able to have children.
As a result, his position in the Wharton family had changed. His grandfather had no choice but to relent and let him become the successor of the Wharton family.
Chen Ming’s position in the Wharton family had undergone an earth-shattering change. His days were also much better than before. At the very least, the people in the Wharton family no longer dared look down on him, because he was no longer the eldest young master without the right to inherit, he was now the successor of the Wharton family.
However, what followed was the assassin sent by his stepmother. His stepmother was unwilling to let such a large family like the Wharton family fall into the hands of Chen Ming.
However, his stepmother was ultimately unable to take his life, because his grandfather, the elder of the Wharton family, had come out to save his life, and had sent him to study in the most famous military academy in Country M. He would not let anything happen to Chen Ming. Otherwise, their bloodline would be cut off.
“Meng’er knows me?” Chen Ming gave Chen Meng’er a bashful smile. He didn’t have the usual fierce look of the Wharton family’s heir.
The current Chen Ming wasn’t that innocent youth who had just entered the Wharton family and didn’t know anything. After all these years of training, he had long since matured. He had long become an outstanding successor to the Wharton family. Even back then, his grandfather had never thought highly of Chen Ming, however, he had no choice but to let Chen Ming become the successor of the Wharton family’s elder. He also had no choice but to give a thumbs up to this grandson of his.
“You’re famous, how could I not know? It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be the Chen family village’s Chen Ming that we know.” Chen Meng’er had no choice but to admit that this world was really small.
“Haha, I’ve heard so much about the young lady of the Green Gang. I just didn’t expect that this Chen Meng’er is the Chen Meng’er I knew back then.” If he had known earlier, he would have run back to the country to look for Chen Meng’er. This time, if he didn’t have official business to attend to, he would have made a trip back to the country.
It was rare for him to be excited, so he got someone to investigate his childhood playmates and find Chen Haoxuan. Otherwise, he would have really missed out on the princess in his life.
“Hey, can you two not play charades here? Tell me clearly.” Chen Haoxuan was confused.
“We have been talking clearly.” Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Haoxuan innocently.
Chen Ming also cooperated. “Yeah, Meng’er and I didn’t play charades.”
“You guys are great. You actually ganged up to bully me. I dote on you for nothing. Hmph, Little Ming, you’re a jerk.” Chen Haoxuan’s silly look came out again.
“Alright, don’t be angry. If you want to know anything later, you can ask me or ask him.” Chen Meng’er saw that Chen Haoxuan was really angry, so she quickly smoothed his hair.
“That’s more like it.” Chen Haoxuan was very easy to coax.
After coaxing Chen Haoxuan, Chen Meng’er then asked Chen Ming, “Oh right, if I remember correctly, your family seems to have a collaboration with the Lu family in the capital city. Did you come back this time to deal with the collaboration between the Wharton family and the Lu family?” Chen Meng’er’s memory was absolutely good.
“Yes, the board of directors heard that something had happened to the Lu family, so they sent me back to take a look. I bet they sent me here so that they wouldn’t have to hire an interpreter.” Chen Ming was still in the mood to joke with Chen Meng’er.
“Then how did you deal with it? Is your family planning to save the Lu family, or…?” Speaking of serious matters, Chen Meng’er put on a serious face.
Chen Ming finally reacted. He had heard that the Lu family had fallen because they had offended the Qu family and the Green Gang. The Qu family and the Green Gang had joined hands because of the young lady of the Green Gang, Chen Meng’er.
When he thought of this, he probed, “Meng’er, is the Lu family’s matter your doing?”
“Since it’s an old friend, I won’t lie. The Lu family’s collapse was their own doing, and I only played the role of adding fuel to the fire. However, I don’t want to see the Lu family’s existence in the capital anymore,” Chen Meng’er said frankly.
“Okay, I know. I know what to do,” Chen Ming said seriously after listening to Chen Meng’er’s words.
Chen Meng’er understood what Chen Ming meant. “If you don’t save the Lu family, how are you going to explain it to the board of directors?”
“It’s okay. It’s a small matter. I’ll take care of it.” Chen Ming looked at Chen Meng’er with a reassuring expression.
“That’s enough, kid. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll call your grandfather in a while and explain it to him.” Elder Liu, who had listened in the corner for a long time, finally couldn’t help but stand up and speak.
