Chapter 93 The Origins and Fate
chapter 93
Jiang Shiyu drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his expression indifferent, his eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions...
He drove his car into the building's basement, then took the elevator to the 19th floor...
The elevator doors opened, and he arrived in front of 1901. Just as he was about to knock, he hesitated for a moment, then finally took out a spare key from his pocket and opened the door...
He went inside and closed the door behind him...
Hearing the noise, the people inside came out...
The man was wearing a white shirt, with the top few buttons undone. He was tall and slender, with a somewhat pale face, and coughed uncontrollably a few times…
He is... Xu Xingcheng.
Upon seeing Jiang Shiyu, Xu Xingcheng was visibly stunned for a few seconds. "You...when did you get back?"
The boss chuckled. "Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up from the airport... Well, you should have gone to see Yuming right away, right? How's he been lately?"
"Shixing Company..."
Jiang Shiyu stared intently at him. "You drove it, didn't you?"
Xu Xingcheng sneered, "You went to find your brother right away, so worried about him, but didn't even come to see me. You come back and immediately start questioning me. Is that really okay?"
"Do you know he's my everything?! Why did you have to hurt him?!"
The man suddenly shouted...
Xu Xingcheng's expression was extremely cold. "You're throwing a tantrum as soon as you get back. Is it because we've been together for so long that you've lost your feelings for me?"
"I told you he's mine...!"
"Is this your Achilles' heel?!"
Xu Xingcheng couldn't hold back and shouted out loud.
He then sighed, shifted his gaze, and calmed his anger. "How's the equipment at that... hospital over there?"
Jiang Shiyu, who had just been filled with rage, immediately calmed down. He stared at Xu Xingcheng in disbelief, "You... what do you mean?"
The boss sighed heavily. "Are you asking about the Achilles' heel? Or the hospital?"
"If it's a hospital, I can tell you that your medical report is with me. I know your health condition..."
"Cancer requires chemotherapy, which will take at least two or three years. I didn't expect you to be back so soon..."
Xu Xingcheng stepped forward. "How have you been lately? Have you... felt unwell anywhere?"
Jiang Shiyu still looked incredulous. "Then... no matter what, you shouldn't have touched him. Why...?"
"Because I have no choice, you understand?!"
Xu Xingcheng could no longer contain his anger, and his eyes instantly filled with tears. "If there were any other way out, I would never have touched Yu Ming. I know he is very special to you, but there's no other way..."
"Only the two of us know how hard we've worked and how much we've suffered. I'm an illegitimate child, and I'm not well-regarded. My half-brother was afraid I would fight for the family fortune, so he killed my mother..."
"From that moment on, I made a vow to take over all of the Xu Group's assets. Then I met you. Only the two of us know everything we've been through. It wasn't easy for us to get to this point..."
"But... God... doesn't want us to have an easy time, I also have cancer."
The world suddenly fell silent for a few seconds...
Jiang Shiyu stared at him in disbelief. "You... Xingcheng... you... really...?"
"Let me finish..."
Xu Xingcheng interrupted him, "It was diagnosed last year, liver cancer. I don't have much time left. I originally thought... if I died, I would give you all the company's shares. You're the first person who cares about me, so I won't regret giving you the company..."
"But later, I learned that you also had cancer. I didn't know what to do. I thought about it for a long time. I also saw the share transfer document you wrote. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to... target your brother."
"You once told me that everything you own would go to your brother, so I set up this scheme. I hope he can grow up and at least protect our company and our hard work, so it won't go to waste..."
"If I die without a will, my company will be inherited by my brother. I've fought for this for so many years, and I absolutely refuse to allow the company I worked so hard to build to end up with that bastard!"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Xu Xingcheng's eyes and streamed down his face...
Jiang Shiyu looked somewhat dejected. "But, Yu Ming, he..."
"He's a natural businessman. I've observed him for so long, and I've found that he's not like what you say. Yes... he's your brother, how could he not be good at business?"
Xu Xingcheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "The reason you don't want him to come out is because you're afraid he'll be even more powerful than you, you're afraid... Wasn't your mother's choice right?"
Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a long time, "I..."
Xu Xingcheng looked at him, "I have no other choice. I don't want to give my company to that bastard..."
"Just like you, if you die, your company will definitely be taken over by your father and eventually fall into the hands of that bitch's son. Don't expect your father to give the company to your brother. He has no feelings for either of you. Do you really want to give your company to him...!"
"Can't!!!"
Jiang Shiyu said angrily, "Absolutely not... Even if the company goes bankrupt, I will never give my company, the business I've worked so hard to build, to that bitch!"
Xu Xingcheng let out a long sigh. "Didn't you say before that your things belonged to your brother?"
"Yu Ming... he's very smart and well-suited for this line of work, but he just lacks the right opportunity. Before, you locked him in the villa and made him watch those useless anime, which caused him to have blind spots about the world..."
"That's why I carefully paved this path. I hope he can wake up and understand the ways of the world. Including the Lin Feng assault incident and the later Fang Tingting incident, they were all orchestrated by me. I have only one goal: I hope your brother can truly grow up..."
"To be able to shoulder and carry on the will of our company."
Jiang Shiyu hesitated for a moment, "But, he..."
"I know you're afraid of his second personality, but have you ever considered that perhaps that personality is the real him? Your family has been in business for generations; how could your parents possibly have given birth to a naive and innocent child?"
Jiang Shiyu's expression froze for a moment...
Xu Xingcheng stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder. "There was no other way. If there had been any other way, I would never have touched Yu Ming..."
"If I had to give the company to that bastard, and the group you painstakingly built to that stepmother who makes things difficult for you every day, would you be willing?"
"I don't want to..."
The boss hugged him. "I knew you wouldn't like it, so I came up with this idea. I'm sorry... for not telling you beforehand and making you worry..."
Jiang Shiyu hugged him back, "Why... did you make him become an actor...?"
"I wanted him to go into business, but he said he didn't want to become like you, so I came up with this path, and this path is dangerous enough to awaken his true nature and make him... become a qualified businessman."
Xu Xingcheng released his hands, staring intently at the man. "This company is called Shixing (时兴), do you know why?"
Why?
"Because I...love you. Do you love me?"
Jiang Shiyu smiled for the first time in a long time. "Of course... how could I not love you? You're the first man to call me a piece of trash."
Xu Xingcheng immediately laughed, pinched his chin, and kissed him. "Weren't you the first man to call me...a bastard is disgusting?"
……
[Jiang Shiyu's Diary.]
My birth was a mishap. My mother named me Jiang Shiyu because I came to her side at a crucial moment. My father is a candidate for the Jiang Group...
My uncles and aunts were all more capable than him, but they had never had any children. My grandfather always valued this. I was born at the most crucial moment in the struggle for succession, so my mother named me Jiang Shiyu.
My father is incompetent, so I have to win over my grandfather. My mother is extremely strict with me, demanding perfection in every detail, and if I don't do something right, I get beaten...
I grew up like this, and when I was 12, my father finally inherited the family fortune. I thought the family would finally be at peace, but who would have thought...
My dad never loved my mom. After he got money, he started having affairs. My mom was driven to the brink of neurosis and often took her anger out on me. I hate my dad. I think he's the worst man in the world...
At that time, I didn't hate my mother, because I knew that all of this was because of my father.
When I was 15, my mother became much more normal, and she finally let go of her resentment. However, at that time, I had just started high school and needed to live on campus, so I couldn't feel her maternal love...
Later, her younger brother was born, and her mother named him "Yuming," which means "the new life of the mother."
My mother treats him very well, giving him everything good and showering him with love. Even when he makes a mistake, she never scolds him. I'm starting to feel a little jealous...
When my younger brother was eight years old, he went missing and was abducted. My parents had a meltdown and divorced at that time. Later, they found my brother in a certain place. His emotions became very strange, sometimes good and sometimes bad...
My father had no affection for either of us brothers. He told my mother he could take either of us, but she told him she wasn't capable enough and could only take one child…
I remember it clearly. My mother said to me, "Your younger brother is still young. He needs his mother more. I'm sorry, Shi Yu."
And so, I lived with my father. He married my stepmother, who brought along a bastard child...
That bastard perfectly inherited his mother's traits; he's a master at framing and framing others. I hate his whole family, including that damned father...
I left home to start my own business and met someone with a temperament very similar to mine, named Xu Xingcheng.
In an accident, he slept with me. We were both drunk. After we sobered up, we cursed each other and, after finding out who he was, we despised him even more. Who would have thought that not long after, we got drunk again and I slept with him.
I won the game back.
Later, I found that I couldn't get interested in anyone else except him. I would often go to him and call him the son of a mistress, and I would curse him with all sorts of swear words...
He was just as bad, calling me a good-for-nothing who couldn't even handle a stepson.
Then, he slept with me again, and I, not wanting to give up, slept with him back...
And so, over time, I realized I had fallen for him, and he belatedly discovered that he had also developed feelings for me...
We worked together, I started a new company, and he took over his father's assets...
Just when I thought life was finally settling down, my younger brother called me and said that Mom was dying...
My mother was terminally ill and needed me to treat her. My younger brother was still very young at the time, and I hesitated because my mother hadn't chosen me. I often visited them, and my mother would often tell me that my brother was very talented and would definitely become an excellent businessman in the future.
I was jealous, I hated, and in the end, I didn't even get to see my mother one last time...
My younger brother looked at me strangely. He said, "Why didn't you save Mom? Was it because you weren't chosen? How selfish of you, brother, you killed Mom..."
I was terrified and sent him to a mental hospital.
Then, unable to bear the inner torment any longer, I took him out anyway...
This is roughly the reason. Another meaning of Shi Yu's name is that during his most difficult time, his brother met his boss, and the two redeemed each other, rising from the darkness.
