CH 82

On Saturday, He Qianjian arrived at the school at 7:30 as usual.

Although Chenghua was a private high school, there were less than 30% of students in the international classes and students who choose international courses, while the rest of the students would take the domestic college entrance examination, so the study atmosphere in the third year of high school was also very strong.

When He Qianjian arrived, most of the classmates had already arrived in the classroom. As soon as he walked into the classroom, a boy with a good relationship with him came up to him: “Birthday star, did you bring invitations today? We are all waiting to attend your birthday party tomorrow.”

“Of course I have.” Standing at the podium, He Qianjian slowly took out a stack of invitations from his schoolbag, raised his chin slightly and glanced at the students who were looking this way. With lips curved up slightly, he placed the invitations on a boy’s desk nearest to the front and said with a faint smile: “Everyone has been classmates for three years, how could I forget you all. Other than the  few classmates who have already received invitations from my family, I have brought the invitations of other classmates, you can help me give them out.”

“Really?”

“We can all go?!”

“Long live Brother Jian, Brother Jian is the best!”

The boy at the first desk gave out the invitations. Most of those who received the invitations were students who had no contact with the He family or who were not qualified to attend the He family banquets. Now it was not surprising they were delighted to receive the invitation from He Qianjian. For a while, the classroom was full of congratulations and compliments.

He Qianjian went to his seat and sat down. Many students gathered around and asked about his birthday party one by one.

“Brother Jian, I heard that film king Li will also attend your birthday, is it true?”

He Qianjian said unhurriedly: “Although film king Li is in the entertainment industry, he is from the Li family, so he should come.”

“Film king Li is from the Li family?” A girl wowed, and said in surprise: “It turns out that film king Li is not only good at acting, but also has such a good family background!”

Someone asked, “What about the Xu family?”

“The Xu family will definitely go.” Someone said: “Isn’t there a lot of cooperation between the Xu family and Brother Jian’s family company? Am I right, Brother Jian.”

He Qianjian nodded: “The Xu family will attend.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.” The boy who asked the question before beckoned mysteriously, and waited for everyone else to come over, then lowered his voice and said: “I heard that the Xu family recently recognized an illegitimate child. Guess this time if the Xu family will bring that illegitimate child with them to the banquet or not?”

“Where did you hear that?”

“Really? I haven’t heard of it!”

“Brother Jian, do you know?”

He Qianjian rotated his wrist, his eyelids lowered, his eyes falling on his own hand, and his tone showed a trace of disdain: “It’s just an illegitimate child, why should I know anything about it.”

The several people who were interested in gossip were stunned when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, someone laughed dryly and said, “Hahaha that’s true, what is Brother Jian’s identity, how could an illegitimate child matter in your eyes.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The others echoed, “Don’t even mention the Xu family’s illegitimate son, even film king Li can’t be seen in our Brother Jian’s eyes. He is just a branch member of the Li family. How could he compare with our Brother Jian who will inherit the Tunan Group in the future.”

He Qianjian glanced at the person who spoke, and laughed: “My horoscope hasn’t even been written yet, how do you know that I will inherit our company and not He Qianmin.”

Hearing the pleased tone in He Qianjian’s voice, the speaker’ eyes flickered and he said with a smile: “How can we not know, difference exists between even blood brothers, right? How could Second Young Master He compare to Brother Jian? Besides, the family business is generally inherited by the eldest son, who else can inherit the Tunan Group besides you?”

“Heh.”

There was an abrupt sneer in the classroom, and the boy sitting in the corner crossed his legs, looked at the group of people with a half-smile, and applauded: “The He family hasn’t even decided who will inherit Tunan, yet you guys have already decided everything clear and loud. How about at He Qianjian’s birthday party tomorrow, you guys can go on stage and force a coup, shout out loud and knock He Yanfeng off the stage to make room for He Qianjian.”

The person who was flattering just now blushed and wanted to refute, but he dared not speak because of the boy’s family background.

The coldness in He Qianjian’s eyes flashed, but he turned his head and still smiled: “Wang Wei is just joking, Zhang Yanjing, why do you have to take it so seriously.”

Zhang Yanjing sneered: “The illegitimate son of the Xu family, the actor of the Li family, oh, and your younger brother He Qianmin, no one can compare to you who is high and superior, tsk tsk tsk, Eldest Young Master He is really majestic, I just wonder, aren’t you afraid that the wind will blow to hard and you’ll break your waist?”

He Qianjian’s face turned cold: “Zhang Yanjing, don’t think that because you are from the Zhang family, I dare not touch you.”

Zhang Yanjing shook his crossed leg, and lazily hooked his fingers: “Come on then, I want to see how the refined and cultured scum, an animal dressed up in a suit, Eldest Young Master He plans to get back at me.”

He Qianjian’s face was dark, and don’t know what he thought of but he suddenly sneered: “I want to fight with you, but I’m afraid that tomorrow when we will appear in front of everyone with a bruised nose and a swollen face, I wonder where Minister Zhang’s face will be put.”

All the students here know that Zhang Yanjing’s biological mother passed away early, and his father was extremely strict with him, and hated it the most when he got in fights with others. And if the fight even reached the front of the scenes, he would definitely have nothing good waiting for him when he went back home.

Zhang Yanjing narrowed his eyes instantly, and was just about to speak when his phone sounded. He suppressed his anger and clicked on the message icon. Don’t know what he saw but he raised his eyes and looked at He Qianjian, a trace of sympathy along with the ridicule obvious in the curve of his smirk.

Everyone thought that Zhang Yanjing would get angry, but who knew that he just glanced at He Qianjian, let out a sneer, and then took out his textbook. Looking like a different person from his usual appearance when this matter was mentioned, which made the surrounding classmates feel very confused and unable to figure it out.

He Qianjian also thought that Zhang Yanjing was acting strange, but he didn’t think much about it. He just thought that Zhang Yanjing was scared. Just when the bell rang for the first period, he suppressed the sneer on his lips and turned back to his seat.

At the same time, He Yanfeng had brought his wife and daughter to the He family’s old family house.

Old Mrs. He received a call from them early in the morning so she was preparing in the kitchen early, and when they arrived, there was already a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

“Why are you here so early today?” Old Mrs. He smiled and held her little granddaughter’s hand, and said, “Qian Yu doesn’t need to go to cram school today, so she came to accompany her grandparents, right?”

Holding her grandmother’s hand, He Qianyu said coquettishly, “I miss you so much, Grandma, so today Dad let me take time off to see you.”

“Yoh, missing Grandma so much you asked for leave!” Old Mrs. He sat at the dining table with He Qianyu in her arms, and waved over old Mr. He who just came in from the yard, “Hurry up, the children are here, we are just waiting for you.”

Old Mr. He frowned and said: “What’s the matter, not only coming here so early in the morning, and even making Qian Yu ask for leave from school. That’s too inappropriate.”

He Yanfeng and Yang Yun looked at each other, Yang Yun said with a smile: “Dad, let’s eat first, we’ll talk after we finish.”

Old Mr. He glanced at the document envelope in He Yanfeng’s hand, and nodded: “Everyone have a seat.”

After breakfast, He Yanfeng followed old Mr. He into the study room. Facing his father, he didn’t bother to make much preparation, and just handed over the envelope and said, “Dad, take a look at this.”

Old Mr. He raised his eyes to look at him, took the reading glasses on one side, opened the envelope and took out the report inside. He frowned when he saw the paternity test, turned to the back directly, paused for a moment, and then opened the second report. After reading all the pages, he placed the reports heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know either.” He Yanfeng lowered his eyes and said calmly, “Maybe there was a mistake at the hospital when Qian Jian and Jiang Chen were born.”

“Mistake?!” Old Mr. He slammed the table twice, his chest heaving with anger: “When we agreed for you and Yang Yun to come back, you brought He Qianjian’s paternity test with you. At that time, he was already three months old. How could it be the wrong child brought back from the hospital when he was already three months old?”

Old Mr. He pushed his chair back and stood up, pointed to the report and said, “Please tell me clearly, what’s going on! Who produced this report? Why did you think of going to investigate this?”

“Xiang Hong gave it to me.” He Yanfeng walked over, supported old Mr. He who was trembling with anger, and said, “Dad, don’t be angry, listen to me first.”

“Xiang Hong may have met Jiang Chen and felt that Jiang Chen looked too much like our family, so he took his hair as a sample, and then asked for samples from me, Xiao Yun, and Qian Jian for a test. I didn’t expect the test to come out like this.”

“You think I’m a fool!” Old Mr. He pushed him away and said, “I watched Xiang Hong grow up. It’s impossible for him to take other people’s children’s hair without any confidence. For so many years, he has always been your family doctor, you have a physical examination every year, why didn’t you find anything in the past ten plus years, and now you know that you have the wrong child?”

“Dad, calm down. Xiang Hong and I have been friends for so many years. I believe he never knew about this before, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken our samples for verification before telling me. And taking a blood test for the physical examination does not mean testing DNA. Qian Jian has the same blood type as mine, so how could Xiang Hong think so much? The top priority now is not how he knows, but how to deal with the identities of Jiang Chen and Qian Jian.”

“How to deal with it?” Old Mr. He stared and said, “Of course it is to exchange back the two children! What else can we do!”

“I think the same way, that’s why I came to you early in the morning. When Jiang Chen gets out of school in the afternoon, I will go to the school gate to find him, and explain this matter to him clearly.”

Seeing that his son was still sensible, old Mr. He calmed down a bit, sat down and said, “What are you going to do with Qian Jian? And the Jiang family, what are you going to tell them.”

“I will discuss it with Jiang Chen first, and go with him to tell his adoptive parents about this.”

“Where is Qian Jian?”

“I’ve already notified the people of the cancellation of his birthday party tomorrow, and I’ll tell Qian Jian after dealing with Jiang Chen’s matter. He’s not emotionally stable recently, and I’m worried that something will happen.”

Old Mr. He sighed: “Talk to him well, he will be eighteen tomorrow, so let’s treat him as a child reaching the age to leave home. Even if he is not a child of our He family, he has called me grandfather for so many years. Future contact must not be broken, don’t hurt the child’s heart.”

He Yanfeng opened his mouth, but eventually swallowed the words that came to his lips, nodded and said, “I know.”

“Also.” Old Mr. He said with a cold face: “Investigate this matter for me, I don’t believe that the switching of these two children was really just a mistake of the hospital.”

Chenghua.

After the first period, many students were used to taking out their mobile phones to play for a while. Wang Wei was also like this. He was about to open the game when he saw a message from a group created by a few friends who got along well. He didn’t even think about it before clicking in.

Swiping up one message after another, he barely understood the content:

——Why is He Qianjian’s birthday party canceled?

——It’s true, my deskmate’s dad sent me a message, and asked him to find out what’s going on

——Is Big Wei here? You and He Qianjian are in the same class. Do you have any inside information?

——Big Wei, Big Wei! Say something! I’m dying here!

——Seriously? ! ! !

Wang Wei was taken aback, and immediately typed: Impossible, He Qianjian gave out invitations to our class as soon as he came to school this morning. If it was canceled then why would he give out invitations?

——It’s not just my deskmate, everyone in our class has received the notice, it can’t be fake news.

——Yeah, it seems like the whole school is talking about it now.

——You aren’t fooling us, are you? That He Qianjian would give you an invitation, I don’t usually see how good your relationship is.

Seeing that they didn’t believe it, Wang Wei immediately took out the invitation card from the drawer, took a photo and prepared to send it. But before he pressed the send button, he saw a boy from the next class appearing at the back door and shouting: “He Qianjian, what’s the matter with your family? The birthday party is canceled after all?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell silent. Wang Wei was not the only one who got the news just now. Everyone was very curious about the authenticity of the news, but they didn’t dare to ask He Qianjian, so now their ears were all pricked up.

“What are you talking about?” He Qianjian was talking to the system in his head, and it took a few seconds to realize what the boy said. He stood up and said, “What is canceled?”

“Your birthday party!” The boy and He Qianjian usually have a good relationship and their family backgrounds were similar, so he spoke casually: “My mother sent me a message telling me that your birthday party is canceled, don’t you know?”

“Impossible!” He Qianjian doubted subconsciously: “You lying to me?”

“What would I lie to you for?” Seeing that he really didn’t know, the boy said, “You really don’t know, do you? The whole school knows it. Just ask your classmates, there must be someone who knows.”

The boy’s expression was so real that He Qianjian’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition floated in his heart. He turned his head to look at the classmate next to him, and fixed his eyes on Wang Wei who was holding the invitation: “You know?”

Wang Wei cursed at his unluckiness, raised his phone carefully and said, “I just found out, some of my friends are asking about it.”

He Qianjian snatched his mobile phone. After seeing the content of the chat clearly, his expression changed instantly. He took out his mobile phone from the drawer, and left the classmates in the classroom looking at each other.

Finding a secluded corner, He Qianjian first dialed the phone number at home, but it was the auntie who answered the phone, telling him that both He Yanfeng and Yang Yun had gone out. After he hung up the phone, he called He Yanfeng, but no one answered after several calls, not only He Yanfeng, but also Yang Yun’s call.

The ominous premonition became more and more intense. He Qianjian smashed the phone hard, and his chest heaved violently for a long time before turning back to the classroom.

Currently class had started, and the teacher was by the podium giving a lecture. When he saw He Qianjian coming in from outside, he stopped and frowned but didn’t say much. However, when He Qianjian returned to his seat he didn’t sit down, but took up his school bag and left again. The teacher froze for a moment and chased after him, but only saw He Qianjian’s back leaving without turning his head.

The teacher returned to the podium, gritted his teeth angrily, and said, “It’s really getting more and more outrageous since he gave up the math competition. Being so self-willed because of the backing of his family’s good conditions. I want to see what will happen to him when he can’t rely on his family any longer. Let me tell you all, family conditions are not everything, you have to learn how to be a human being before doing anything in this world!”

He Qianjian didn’t hear what the teacher said in the classroom. He was already filled with panic and anger, and kept asking the system in his mind: [Why did my birthday party get canceled suddenly? Did the He family discover something?]

The system’s voice was cold: [I told you many times, it is impossible for anyone to find traces of what I did, you don’t have to worry at all.]

[Then how do you explain that the He family suddenly canceled the birthday party, and neither of my parents could get through on the phone!]

The system said: [There are many possibilities for the cancellation of the party, the most unlikely is finding out your identity.]

[Regardless of this reason or not, I can’t wait any longer.] 

He Qianjian walked into an empty alley, took out a mobile phone from his school bag, and said sinisterly: [Help me conceal the call, I don’t want to live in fear for a moment longer, I must get rid of him now.]

[The source of the number has been completely concealed.]

He Qianjian made a phone call and enunciated word by word: “Make the move tomorrow. Remember, what I want is his life. The transaction must only be considered completed after the person is dead.”

After hanging up the phone, he completely relaxed, and when he walked out of the alley, there was even a faint smile on his face.
