"Look at this girl, she's so beautiful."
Xia Xiangyun looked at Wan Yunting's arms, holding Wan'er, and was captivated by her cute and beautiful appearance. Ouyang Zhixin also nodded with a smile.
Wan Yunting put down Wan'er in his arms and said with a smile, "Wan'er, say hello to Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandfather, and Great-uncle."
The well-behaved and polite Wan'er affectionately called out in her childish voice to Ouyang Shenhe, Ouyang Xing Teng, Ouyang Zhixin, and Xia Xiangyun, "Hello Grandpa and Grandma, hello Great-grandfather and Great-uncle."
"Haha, you're so well-behaved."
Ouyang Xing Teng and Ouyang Shenhe laughed heartily. The second brother and second sister-in-law sitting beside them, feeling a bit reserved, also smiled. Ouyang Zhixin beckoned to them, "Dongming, Chulin, please have breakfast, don't be shy."
"Yes, Uncle. You too."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin quickly picked up their chopsticks, smiling awkwardly as they nodded...
Before coming, they were well aware of the Ouyang family's standing in the capital. They never expected to meet such a significant figure as the Ouyang family's old patriarch immediately upon arrival. It was only natural for Wan Dongming and his wife to feel nervous.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, we've already eaten. Please go ahead," Wan Yunting turned and smiled at them. Seeing Wan'er was dressed lightly, he added, "I'll take Wan'er upstairs to change her clothes first."
"Alright..."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin nodded. Xia Xiangyun also went upstairs with Wan Yunting to help Wan'er change her clothes...
This left the second brother and second sister-in-law to face Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Shenhe and the others, making them even more nervous. They smiled awkwardly.
Ouyang Zhixin took the initiative to speak, "Dongming, we only reunited with Xiao Wan yesterday. We don't know much about your Wan family yet, but we heard that your parents have already...?"
"Yes."
Wan Dongming put down his chopsticks and nodded, saying, "After my third brother was framed and imprisoned, our parents were involved in a car accident and passed away. However, after my third brother was released from prison, he always suspected that our parents were murdered. After his investigation, he confirmed his suspicions were correct, and my third brother personally avenged them later. Yes, it was Gao Zhe, the most mysterious drug lord in Southeast Asia, who was captured in Singapore back then. He was the one who killed our parents."
Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Shenhe listened and nodded. They were all aware of Wan Yunting's exploits in coordinating with the Huadu City police in venturing into the Golden Triangle, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian countries to apprehend drug traffickers.
Later, Wan Yunting was honored with the title of Huadu City People's Anti-Drug Hero, which resounded throughout the country.
Ouyang Zhixin looked at Wan Dongming and said, "We, the Ouyang family, can never forget the kindness you and your family showed in adopting Xiao Wan. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."
"Thank you."
Wan Dongming and his wife nodded and smiled, "But Uncle, you're too kind. My third brother has found his biological parents, and as his elder brother, I'm overjoyed. Besides, we are doing quite well now. My third brother has helped us a lot."
"Indeed."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded and smiled, "If you don't mind, our Ouyang family is your family!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin were incredibly moved. After all, for them, the Ouyang family in the capital was a top-tier wealthy family in the country, and countless people had desperately tried to get close to them without success.
Now, because of Wan Yunting's connection, Wan Dongming's future development was unimaginable.
Wan Yunting and Xia Xiangyun helped Wan'er put on another layer of clothing. When they came down, they saw his second brother recounting his childhood embarrassing moments to Ouyang Zhixin and the others, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Ouyang Zhihui said, "Xiao Wan, I didn't expect you to have this kind of connection with Jiang Wenhao, the Wolf of Wall Street in the United States."
Wan Yunting glanced at his second brother, knowing immediately what he was referring to.
Wan Dongming smiled and said, "My third brother was a financial genius when he was in college. If it weren't for that incident, with his abilities, his achievements would have surpassed Jiang Wenhao's."
"Is that so? It seems Xiao Wan, your business talent is very impressive."
Ouyang Shenhe, upon hearing Wan Dongming's words, felt even more admiration for this grandson of his.
Ouyang Zhihui was even more impressed, as even Jiang Wenhao, the Wolf of Wall Street in the United States, had to call Wan Yunting "Teacher."
Therefore, it could be imagined that for the Chaoting Group to reach its current massive scale, Wan Yunting was definitely not just a figurehead.
The reason Wan Yunting revealed the Chaoting Group was to clearly convey to Ouyang Shenhe that he stood with Ouyang Zhixin for the position of the next family head!
At this moment, Ouyang Shenhe had also made up his mind.
"Alright, second brother, stop praising me,"
Wan Yunting gave Wan Dongming a playful glare. Holding Wan'er, he smiled and said, "You all chat first. I'm taking Wan'er out to play in the snow."
"Go ahead."
Ouyang Zhixin and the others smiled and nodded. Wan Yunting led Wan'er to the courtyard to play in the snow. It was the little girl's first time seeing snow, and she was having a great time. Ouyang Shenhe and Ouyang Xing Teng couldn't help but come out to watch, their faces filled with joyful smiles.
However, the only one who didn't blend in was Ouyang Fanmeng, who was standing by the window in a room on the second floor of another villa, wrapped in a thick coat. He knew his elder brother had returned and the family was filled with joyous celebration.
It was just a pity that he couldn't join due to his illness. Ouyang Fanmeng felt both happy and disappointed in his heart...
"Third Uncle, look, there's someone upstairs."
Wan'er, who had run to the backyard filled with blooming flowers, spotted Ouyang Fanmeng standing by the second-floor window of the villa, lost in thought. Hearing the child's voice, Ouyang Fanmeng also lowered his gaze to look. He saw his elder brother bringing a man and a woman over...
"Wan'er, that's your aunt. Hurry and say hello to your aunt."
Upon seeing Ouyang Fanmeng, Wan Yunting called out to Wan'er.
"Aunt..."
Wan'er shouted with all her might towards Ouyang Fanmeng on the villa's upper floor.
This shout of "Aunt" made Ouyang Fanmeng's heart tremble, and a joyous smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and waved to Wan'er and Wan Yunting and the others...
"Third Uncle, I want to go play with Aunt..."
Wan'er tugged at Wan Yunting's hand, her left hand, gloved, pointing at Ouyang Fanmeng.
Wan Yunting smiled gently, "Wan'er, your aunt isn't feeling well right now. We'll go play with her after her illness is cured, okay?"
"Oh, okay." Wan'er nodded.
The second brother and second sister-in-law also came over. Looking at Ouyang Fanmeng at the second-floor window, Wan Yunting sighed and said, "She has 'stinky fish syndrome.' She's afraid to step out of this door, let alone let anyone get close to her."
"Stinky fish syndrome? I've never heard of such a disease."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin were very surprised, but as they carefully sniffed the air, they could detect a faint fishy odor emanating from that villa.
"This illness is very rare."
Wan Yunting turned to them and smiled, "But I've already thought of a way to cure her illness. After the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference tomorrow, I need to go to Wudang Mountain."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin nodded. They had been staying at Wan Yunting's house for the past few days. He had mentioned before that he would return after finishing his business in the capital and then go to Wudang Mountain with Ziqing.
Unexpectedly, news of his third brother finding his biological parents had suddenly arrived, which was why Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin had been invited by the Ouyang family.
"Hmm, speaking of which, it reminds me of another matter..."
Wan Yunting asked his second brother and sister-in-law to continue playing with Wan'er in the snow. He returned to the villa's living room and saw Ouyang Zhixin chatting with Ouyang Shenhe and the others. He asked, "Do you have a study? I need to write a piece of calligraphy!"
Ouyang Zhixin was momentarily stunned by the sudden question before replying, "Yes, I'll take you there. It's on the minus-first floor."
"Xiao Wan, you're going to write calligraphy? Then we must go and see."
Seeing that Wan Yunting, a young calligraphy master, was going to showcase his skills, Ouyang Xing Teng and Ouyang Zhihui became interested and quickly followed to watch...
"Xiao Wan's brushwork is highly praised even by Old Fan, especially his cursive script which is full of sword intent and is extraordinary," Ouyang Shenhe, who followed them, couldn't help but praise with a smile, making Wan Yunting feel a bit shy.
Ouyang Zhixin's study was very large, with a modern desk and an antique desk, both equipped with the four treasures of the study. However, he asked with confusion, "Xiao Wan, why did you suddenly think of writing calligraphy?"
Wan Yunting picked out a piece of excellent Xuan paper and looked at the inkstone. Both were of high quality. The brushes were also priced in the tens of thousands, as expected of the quality of items used by people of such status.
"I want to give Director Kong a piece of calligraphy!" Wan Yunting smiled and said to Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Shenhe.
"Oh?"
Their expressions were surprised, and they asked with confusion, "Why would you give Director Kong a piece of calligraphy out of the blue? Could it be related to your Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association matters?"
After all, the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference was tomorrow!
But Wan Yunting shook his head and said, "No, it's about something else!"
This made Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Shenhe even more confused, but Wan Yunting didn't elaborate. He continued writing. Seeing that his great-uncles were so interested in his calligraphy, he generously wrote two more pieces for them.
Finally, Wan Yunting rolled up the piece of calligraphy in the "Slender Gold" style, unmounted, and planned to deliver it to Kong Jingguo as it was. kanδん
"Xiao Wan, I'll accompany you," Ouyang Zhixin said.
Wan Yunting thought for a moment and then agreed. After all, he had only met Kong Jingguo for the first time last night. With Ouyang Zhixin accompanying him, it would at least be more convenient.
Without further ado, father and son got into a car and headed to Director Kong's home.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the gate of Kong Jingguo's ancient residence, styled in the Suzhou garden fashion. Ouyang Zhixin and Wan Yunting alighted from the car and approached the entrance. After stating their identities, they asked the butler to announce their arrival...
