Chapter 453 Turns out to be a biological child
The printer hummed, and Annie stared intently at the slowly emerging paper, her eyes revealing unquestionable determination. Chen Xuan walked over to her and gently shook her hand, silently conveying gratitude and strength. Annie returned the shake and gave him a comforting look. Then she turned and placed the printed agreement on the table, looking coldly at Chen's mother and Chen Hao: "It's clearly written in black and white. Sign it, and the five million will be deposited immediately. From now on, we will keep our distance from each other."
Mother Chen snatched up the agreement, quickly scanning it, muttering, "This...are the clauses here going to cheat us?" Chen Hao also leaned over. Although he couldn't understand the complex legal provisions, he pretended to study them. Seeing this, Annie said impatiently, "If you're worried, you can consult a lawyer, but time is limited. If you keep dilly-dallying, there's no telling when the money will arrive."
Chen's mother and Chen Hao exchanged a glance, greed taking over. Chen's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Sign it! I'm not afraid of you." She picked up a pen and scribbled her name on the agreement. Chen Hao quickly followed suit. After signing, he looked eagerly at Annie and said, "Sister, can I transfer the money now?"
Annie pulled out her phone and quickly processed it. Soon, both Chen's mother and Chen Hao's phones rang with notifications of incoming funds. They both smiled broadly as they watched the string of numbers on their screens. They said a polite goodbye and hurried off.
At this time, Fu Sihan stood up and said, "Stop, you can't leave until the matter is resolved. Did I let you go?
The moment Fu Sihan finished speaking, the air in the corridor suddenly froze. Chen's mother's grip on the phone suddenly tightened, and the screen reflected her face, which suddenly changed color. "Who are you? Why are you meddling in our affairs? Didn't we all agree to sever ties with him? What are you doing here?"
Fu Sihan slowly adjusted the cuffs of his suit, his bony fingers glistening like jade under the cold white light. He pulled a gold-stamped business card from his inside pocket, which prominently identified him as the CEO of Fu Group. He said, "I'm Chen Xuan's boss. I can't stand your continued exploitation of Chen Xuan. Even if we signed an agreement, you won't honor it."
Chen's mother's cloudy eyes trembled violently, and the veins on the back of her hand, which looked like dry bark, bulged. "Boss? Humph, she's just an employee. Who is it for you to meddle in her business?" She deliberately thrust her phone screen in front of Fu Sihan. The 3 million yuan in the account was glaring in the cold light. "The money and goods are settled. Even the emperor can't interfere!"
Fu Sihan chuckled, his slender fingers tracing the edge of the business card, the metal stamping reflecting a cold light. The assistant behind him suddenly pressed the remote control, and the wall projection lit up with a dense stream of bank statements. Each transfer precisely corresponded to Chen Hao buying a sports car, Chen Hao gambling away large sums of money, and every time Chen Hao lost a gamble, Chen's mother would throw a tantrum at Chen Xuan.
As soon as the evidence was released, everyone gasped. They never thought that Assistant Chen actually had such a vampire brother and mother. No wonder Assistant Chen always lived in the company's storage room. It turned out that all the money was given to the vampire brother and mother. So they all stood up and said: "
"You're such a biased mother! Is he your son?" Sister Zhang from the Finance Department was so angry she was shaking all over. She rushed out of the crowd and pointed at Chen's mother's nose and questioned her. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked. "My son is about the same age as Chen Xuan. Every time I see him working overtime until the early morning and not even having a hot meal, it makes me feel like a knife is piercing my heart!"
"That's right!" Xiao Wang from the marketing department also stood up, holding a stack of attendance sheets in his hand. "Last month, Special Assistant Chen worked overtime for 28 consecutive days. Once he had a fever of 39 degrees but still insisted on working on the plan. It turns out that he was forced by you!" His voice became louder and louder, attracting more colleagues to echo him.
Suddenly, Chen's mother started to throw a tantrum, sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried loudly: "This is rebellion! Outsiders come to bully an old woman like me! Is it easy for me to raise him to this age? Pay for his education, buy him a house..."
"Buy a house?" Fu Sihan snorted coldly after hearing this. "He has been working at the Fu Group for many years, and his monthly salary is 100,000 yuan, but you always threaten his life to get the money back. He finally bought a house, but you secretly gave it to his brother. Have you ever thought that he is also your son, or that Chen Xuan is not your son at all? You are too biased!
As Fu Sihan finished speaking, the entire office fell into a dead silence. Chen's mother's hands froze, a flash of panic flashing in her cloudy eyes. Then she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Nonsense! He's the flesh that fell from my womb!" She suddenly lunged at Chen Xuan, her bony fingers tightly grasping his collar. "Tell me! Were you the one who was plotting against me?"
Chen Xuan suddenly shook off her hand and said angrily, "I was also wondering if I was your son at that time. I even went to do a paternity test between you and me. What was the result? The facts prove that I am your son. So I also want to ask you, why are you so partial to your younger brother when we are both sons?"
Chen's mother's shrill laughter cut through the silent office like a rusty saw. She tilted her body and pointed at Chen Xuan, her fingers painted with cheap nail polish trembling violently. "Do you really think Chen Hao is your biological brother? Humph, your father cheated on me and then abandoned me after I gave birth. How can I like you?"
Later, I took you and married Chen Deshan. Chen Hao was born to me and him!" She suddenly grabbed the scraps of paper on the ground and threw them into the air. The pieces of paper fell on Chen Xuan's shoulders like snowflakes. "You are just a burden. If your stepfather hadn't tried so hard to keep you, I would have thrown you away long ago.
Chen Xuan's mother's sharp words were like poisoned daggers, piercing his most vulnerable heart. The air in the office seemed to freeze instantly, everyone speechless from the shocking revelation. Chen Xuan felt the world spinning before his eyes. He gripped the edge of the table, his knuckles turning white from the strain. His throat felt like a scalding iron, burning him so hard that he couldn't utter a single sound.
He thought of his doting stepfather, who always protected him from the elements. Chen Xuan's fingers, gripping the edge of the table, dug deep into the wood grain, tiny drops of blood oozing from between his nails. The image of his stepfather, Chen Deshan, hunched over him, amidst his mother's manic laughter, cut through the depths of his memory like a sharp knife.
It was a sweltering summer afternoon, the cicadas' cacophony irritating. Five hundred yuan had vanished from the family's possessions, and like a raging lioness, Chen's mother instantly turned her accusation on Chen Xuan. "It had to be you, little bastard! Who else could it be but you?" She grabbed a broom from the corner and pounced on Chen Xuan viciously.
Before Chen Xuan could even try to defend himself, he was struck hard on the back by a broom, a searing pain spreading through him instantly. He instinctively crouched on the ground, holding his head, trying to avoid his mother's beating. Just then, a familiar and warm figure appeared before him.
Stepfather Chen Deshan used his weak body to protect Chen Xuan tightly behind him. His back endured the lashes of the broom again and again, but his face was full of anger and determination: "Enough! What makes you insist that it was Chen Xuan who stole it? Maybe it was Chen Hao who stole it?
