167. Misplaced life
"Jibei, you've seen our son today, right? He looks exactly like you when you were young, and his nose is exactly the same as my brother's."
Even when she went to bed at night, Yu Tong was still a little excited. She couldn't help but want to talk. She didn't care whether others could hear it or not. As long as she said it, she felt comfortable.
"You said that I haven't taken care of that child for more than 20 years, but when I first saw it, I felt kind to that face. Do you think this is the wonder of blood relationship? I don't know who it was back then. It was a mistake made by a careful nurse, otherwise we would not be in this situation now."
Speaking of this new son, Yu Tong was looking forward to but also nervous. Although the other party rejected the request to move back home, from the current point of view, giving the other party some time is a more appropriate approach.
"It's all my fault that I was too careless. I never thought of reading the inspection report in these years. The people below always said that no problems were found and left it alone."
Yu Tong also complained to himself that if this incident had been discovered early, the harm to the child would have been less, but now even though he is aware of it, the subsequent problems are not small.
Jin Yu has already begun to take charge of the company's affairs. Investors and shareholders are very optimistic about him, the next generation successor carefully cultivated by the Yan Yu family. But now that such an incident has occurred, it is obvious that Jin Yu's position is a bit embarrassing. .
Whether to stick to the previous plan or to start cultivating one's own flesh and blood again is a big question. If it is not handled well, it may make both children sad. Just thinking about it makes Yu Tong's head big. .
In the early years, the Yan family did not have the habit of physical examination at all. In the eyes of the older generation, the hospital was an unlucky place. Who would go to the hospital if they were not sick or in pain? Nowadays, people are more particular about it, and some problems are indeed serious. Early treatment leads to better health, so we have a schedule of physical examinations at home.
Yu Tong calculated that it seemed that it was his son's first physical examination when he was ten years old. If he had discovered it at that time, there would have been a chance to correct it as soon as possible. At that time, it would have been too late to train A Chu.
"I don't blame you. The physical examination report is sent to me every year, and I have never even read it."
Yan Jibei's pupils shrank and he said calmly.
"Both of us were so careless."
Yu Tong had no doubt at all. She was the kind of person who never read physical examination reports. She had no doubt at all about what Yan Jibei said.
"Tell me, how should Jin Yu, A Chu, and the company deal with the current situation?"
Yu Tong is now on her own, but she still habitually looks to her husband for advice on some important decisions.
Children raised by themselves are definitely closer, but the other side is always their biological child, and Chinese people always value blood relationships the most. Yu Tong thought, if possible, her husband's company would be left to her biological son, and her company would be left to her son. For the adopted son, it is also full of affection.
But the main question is, can his biological son A Chu be able to carry the Yan family?
"Everything we have is naturally left to our son."
Yan Jibei said without thinking: "Ah Chu has never learned anything, but if he can get into Yanjing University with his own efforts, he will definitely not be stupid. If he doesn't know how, we will teach him. It is always possible to maintain success for twenty years. If he really cannot be supported, we will train the next generation. The family's property must always remain in the hands of our own people. "
The husband's choice was expected by Tong. Men always value blood inheritance more than women. Jin Yu is not her husband's son. Even if he agrees, the old man in the family will not allow him to pass on the property to outsiders, even if it is The grandson he loved for so many years.
"But Jin Yu him..."
Yu Tong wondered if this would be too unfair to his adopted son.
"Don't worry, the industry can't be given to him, but we can subsidize him more financially. We have trained him for more than 20 years. Don't you know what he is capable of? As long as he has our help, he can always create a business by himself. It belongs to its own industry.”
Yan Jibei thought to himself that he had occupied the magpie nest for so many years, and the things he had given him were enough. This son was not born according to his expectations.
"Jin Yu has a strong self-esteem. If we give him Yan Yu's family's property, he may not be willing to accept it. On the other hand, we owe A Chu the child for more than 20 years, and he may not be happy to see it. We will hand over the family property to Jin Yu. You don’t want to see the two children feeling dissatisfied. In this case, just do as I say. "
Yan Jibei's analysis was clear and coherent, and Yu Tong thought about the same reason.
Now it's a problem with the palms and backs of my hands. It hurts wherever I hit, so I can only try to find a balance between the two children.
"But what if Ah Chu can't learn?" Not everyone is born to be a businessman. Yu Tong still remembers the first day when he saw his son, Fang, come out of the laboratory with black eyes.
According to her investigation, the child liked biochemistry very much and had already made a name for himself in this field at a young age. As long as he was given time, he might become a master in this field.
Yu Tong didn't know if he was willing to give up his favorite career and take over the Yan family and Yu family's company according to the path they arranged for him, so that it would be counterproductive and bore the children instead.
"Let Ah Chu try it first. He is our son and is always the best."
Yan Jibei comforted his wife. Thinking about his son's cold attitude towards him when they parted today, he always felt that the child's eyes were a little dazed.
*****
The night was quiet, and Yu Tong had already fallen asleep. Yan Jibei tossed and turned, and finally got up and came to the study.
When I was young, I didn't drink or smoke. Now that I'm older, I can't stop drinking because of my business, but I haven't smoked for a long time.
I don't know why, but today Yan Jibei's craving for cigarettes is particularly strong and his throat feels itchy.
He found a pack of cigarettes that had been placed in the drawer, turned on a small lamp on the desk, lit the cigarette, and took a long drag.
Maybe it was because I hadn't smoked for a long time, and I choked on my spleen and lungs when I smoked too hard. I coughed non-stop and shed tears.
There are three study rooms in the house, each belonging to the three owners of the house. They do not interfere with each other. Yan Jibei's study room has a safe. Yu Tong has never asked for the password of the safe. There are some valuables placed here. Or some confidential documents of the company, she didn't bother to ask.
Yan Jibei opened the safe and found several thick stacks of yellow paper bags inside. When he opened it, he saw that the bags were densely packed with information about the three members of the Zhang family.
All in all, he was the first person to know that his son was held in the wrong arms. When the family had their first physical examination, he was the one who handed the final report to him.
At that time, Yan Jibei's first reaction was that the child was held by the wrong child. However, after further investigation, he discovered that there was a bigger problem.
The child was carried by the wrong person, and it was indeed a woman's intention. The one who was exchanged was still his son.
What happened between Yan Jibei and Lin Fang was an accident. He couldn't tell what his state of mind was at that time. It might be the irritability of things not going well at the beginning of his career, or it might be the common mentality of men who always feel that their wives are inferior to them. It is better to steal than to be a concubine.
It was certain that he had only loved Tong Tong for one person in his life, and he didn't think he had ever had a second heart when he was young. He was so old that he could fall in love with a second woman again.
The day he had a relationship with Lin Fang, he was negotiating a big deal. As long as the negotiation was successful, his company would be able to establish a foothold in Yanjing. At that time, everyone was not optimistic about him, and he also wanted his father to return the favor. Let his father-in-law see if any of the decisions he made, Yan Jibei, were correct.
At that time, I was young and energetic, so I couldn't help but feel a little carried away after the business was concluded. I drank a little more wine, and with the encouragement of other friends, I dragged a young girl who looked young and went directly to the upper floors of the hotel.
Yan Jibei thought that it was really the worst decision he had ever made in his life. Without that impulse, everything that happened after that would not have happened.
After that ridiculous night, I woke up from the wine and woke up too.
There is no doubt that Yan Jibei likes Yu Tong. He is afraid that Yu Tong will know about his betrayal of her. Ever since she was a child, she has never been able to tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. If this matter is exposed, their marriage will be ruined. It's come to an end.
It was a bit exciting, but it was just that. Yan Jibei didn't think that the fresh girl that so many men liked was more tempting than Yu Tong. He gave the little girl who stayed with him that night a sum of money , let her keep this secret and never come to him again.
Then, Yu Tong became pregnant. Yan Jibei was ecstatic when he learned the news. From then on, he became a model husband praised by everyone, and never did anything wrong to his wife again.
He took what happened that night as a lesson and a warning. Whenever different temptations came, he would think about whether he could bear the pain of losing Yu Tong, and his heart would fade away.
Ten years have passed, and Yan Jibei had almost forgotten what happened that night, until he discovered that his son Yan Jin had a problem with his blood type and found out about Lin Fang.
His first reaction at that time was to kill the woman.
His and Yu Tong's biological son was actually replaced by that woman, and the illegitimate son she gave birth to occupied the position where his son should have stood.
Yan Jibei never thought that such an inconspicuous woman could have such courage and ambition.
But after being furious, he became timid. Looking at his wife's love for the illegitimate child, he couldn't imagine how Yu Tong would react if this incident broke out.
Hysterical, heartbroken, there will be no second ending except divorce.
Because of timidity and reluctance, he hid the fact and watched helplessly as his and Yu Tong's son called that woman mother and a strange man father.
In front of Yutong, he had to play the role of a strict father and try his best to cultivate another child.
Before that, Yan Jibei had truly loved Yan Jinyu, but after knowing the truth, even if he knew that the child was innocent and that he and Lin Fang were the ones who did the wrong thing, he could not feel sorry for him. When he looks at him, he will think of his and Yu Tong's son. He can only train him as a capable subordinate and can no longer invest any real affection in him.
On the other side, Yan Jibei secretly gave Zhang Guoqing some help. According to his ability, he might have stayed as a small employee for the rest of his life. However, he used his personal power to let him sit in the position of vice president and earn a small salary. Enough for the whole family to live a normal life.
It's not that he doesn't want Zhang Guoqing to climb higher, but his ability. This position is already the limit. If he goes higher, it will be a blessing rather than a curse.
In addition, knowing that his son's math score was poor, he found a special teacher, and then asked someone to tell Zhang Guoqing. It was logical to see that the other party signed up for his son. The teacher took the money, and he would do his best to focus on the course. Put it on Ah Chu.
He didn't believe that woman Lin Fang, but Zhang Guoqing was indeed an honest and loyal man. As long as he was around, he didn't have to worry about any problems with his son's education. Moreover, according to the investigation, his son admired Lin Fang very much. He thought , maybe Lin Fang is still kind to his son, and maybe it's compensation for his guilty conscience.
This is a legal society, and hiring a murderer will always leave traces. From his position, any slightest move will be noticed, so he finally resisted the urge to have Lin Fang killed, and did not dare to Taking care of Yan Chu too much.
Yan Jibei knew that he had made mistakes again and again. If he took another step forward, it would be an abyss, but he had no way out.
He took a drag on the cigarette, and the tears he had just choked out had already dried on his face, and they were so tight that if he moved the corners of his mouth even slightly, he would feel his face being stretched.
As expected, people can't make mistakes. Now that half of the truth has been exposed, Yan Jibei can't tell whether he feels relieved or sad.
In fact, he had already prepared for today's arrival.
If he really wanted to keep this secret, he should have cut off the chance of anyone discovering Yan Jinyu's life experience from the beginning. And he never thought about asking the hospital to modify Yan Jinyu's blood type and previous physical examination files. Maybe It's also because he is waiting, waiting for the day when all this will be noticed.
The cigarette burned out and the study was filled with smoke. Yan Jibei placed the cigarette butt on the groove of the artwork that was used as an ornament. What he had to do now was to shut up Lin Fang.
Keeping the status quo is the best.
****
Most of the heads of the Yan and Yu families are over eighty years old, especially Mr. Yan. He was injured on the battlefield in the early years and has just been struggling to survive these years.
Yan Jibei's eldest brother, Yan Congnan, has not yet climbed to the position of the old man, so he has not completely established himself in the military. No one will bother the old man unless there is a particularly big matter, for fear that he will be so angry that he will be ruined. Bad health.
Now that the old man is alive, it is a deterrent. For his sake, others will help Yan Congnan a little. If the old man leaves, death is like a light extinguishing, and all the previous human relationships will also go with the old man. .
The grandson of the Yan family made a mistake. This is a big deal. But who dares to let the old man know about such a thing? Doesn't it mean that the old man's life is too long? The same is true for the Yu family, so all the peers in the family have notified them. The elders kept it secret.
Yan Congnan and his wife, and Yu Jinjiang and his wife, are now at Yan Jibei's house, discussing how to handle this matter.
After all, this is also related to the reputation of the two companies, and it is also related to the company's stock price. I couldn't explain some things clearly on the phone before, so I met in person to find out the cause of the matter.
"This is such a coincidence."
Yu Jinjiang looked at the photo his sister had given him. He realized that the nephew he had picked up by mistake was actually his son's best friend. At that time, he had even lamented the other person's appearance, but he turned out to be his own nephew.
Yu Tong didn't know about this yet, but after hearing what his elder brother told him, he realized that his son and his nephew had known each other for a long time, and they were still very good friends.
She also felt that this might be fate, otherwise why would it be such a coincidence that her brother was transferred to Pinghai, and what a coincidence, her son would become good friends with a cousin he had never met before.
"So Jin Yu is the son of that couple?" Yu Jinjiang looked at the photos of Zhang Guoqing and Lin Fang and asked his sister.
"Well, the paternity test has been done."
Yu Tong nodded. If there was no paternity test, she would not inform them so confidently.
Yu Jinjiang was silent for a long time: "Then find out how the child was mistaken. Was it intentional by the couple?"
It's not that he has a villain's heart and judges a gentleman's heart, but that the conditions of the two families are so different that it just so happened that the two children were exchanged.
He couldn't help but glance at his brother-in-law. Jin Yu's eyes looked too much like his.
But looking at the other person's frank look, and the love he has shown for his sister over the years, Yu Jinjiang wondered if he was thinking too much. Didn't some experts say that there is an aura between people, just like a couple, the time they spend together? As they grow older, they will start to look similar. Maybe Jin Yu is like that.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yu Jinjiang first asked about what happened back then.
"It's impossible. When I gave birth to the baby, no one in the hospital knew about our family's situation. Besides, the Zhang family's life was not difficult. Why would they do something like exchanging their own children with other people's children? "
Yu Tong shook his head: "That is to say, cameras and the Internet were not popular back then, and nurses were highly mobile. It would take some time to find a few nurses in the nursery. The original truth may not be found out. "
She now hates the person who exchanged the children of the wrong two families back then. If it hadn't been for this incident, she wouldn't have had such a headache now.
"What did you think about it?"
Yan Congnan did not mention how the child was exchanged, but asked what they were going to do now that they knew the child had been exchanged.
Yu Tong explained the plan that Yan Jibei said last night. This solution is considered appropriate, but the biggest question is whether Yan Chu can shoulder this responsibility. After all, he is different from Yan Jinyu. He has been treated accordingly since he was a child. education.
"Just hide this news, at least until you are sure that the child has this ability."
After Mr. Yan died, Yan Congnan became the de facto head of the Yan family, and Yan Jibei also listened to his words.
"If this news gets out, the old men won't be able to hide it. No one wants to see what happens then. Also, if the company suddenly changes to a new heir, the stock price will fluctuate, and shareholders will also have their thoughts wandering. "
When Yan Congnan was young, he was stationed in the Northeast. He didn't have much deep feelings for his nephew. He loved him just because his surname was Yan and he was his younger brother's son. Now that he was no longer, this love would naturally change to another object.
It's not that he is ruthless, there are many people in the big family who are more ruthless than him, and personal emotions are all in vain before the interests of the family.
"But what if that kid A Chu is not willing to take over the company, or doesn't have the ability?" Yu Tong couldn't help but ask, if so, would he not publicly acknowledge his son for the rest of his life?
"Jin has been cultivating that child for more than twenty years. You also have feelings for him. Even as an adopted son, you can have his share of the company's shares."
Yan Congnan said meaningfully, and his meaning was very clear. If Yan Chu was unable to manage the company, he should let Yan Jin manage it and give him some shares, but the majority must be in the hands of the Yan family, that is, Yan Chu.
As long as Yan Jin is a person who repays kindness, he should know what to do.
"But if Ah Chu really can't afford to support the child, at least the old man will have to hide the news a hundred years ago."
After listening to Yan Congnan's words, Yu Jinjiang frowned, feeling that the other party's actions were too unkind, but thinking about his old man's situation and his possible reaction after learning the truth, he stopped talking.
The juniors were not allowed to be present, and the atmosphere among the six people in the room suddenly fell silent.
Before Yu Jinjiang left, he specifically asked his sister for information on the Zhang family. Yan Jibei noticed the other party's actions and his eyes were calm.
Yu Jinjiang, who had been secretly paying attention to him, was relieved when he saw this. He didn't feel nervous or guilty at all. Maybe he really thought too much just now.
*****
"How about it?"
In the biology laboratory of Yenching University, a group of old professors gathered around an experimental instrument and talked excitedly.
"Successful, this method is feasible."
Everyone who studies chemistry knows that in order to make complex organic materials, carbon atoms need to be brought together through various chemical reactions. Carbon atoms themselves are very stable and are not prone to chemical reactions. If you want the properties of carbon atoms to be more active, , thereby creating more complex organic matter, often requiring the use of large amounts of useless substances.
The concept of "palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction" proposed by Yan Chu previously solved this problem. By connecting carbon atoms and palladium atoms together for chemical reactions, complex compounds can be manufactured more accurately and efficiently.
This discovery has had a huge impact on global scientific research, pharmaceutical production, and the electronics industry. Old professors can almost imagine how many people will pay attention to this theory and scientific research results once they are publicized, not only domestically. , even the international community will be shocked.
"You are a genius."
What do the old professors think about their twenty-three-year-old selves doing?
Looking at the still calm young man, they couldn't help but have a premonition that the biochemistry community in China would stir up a storm because of the still young boy in front of them.
