Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

After Susan said goodbye to Zhong Hua and Han Zhiyi, she calculated the time and called Zhong Tianqi on the way back. Zhong Tianqi, who was far away in Taiwan, was taking Ou Yaruo for a walk while holding her pregnant belly. When she saw the caller ID, it was Susan. She immediately thought that something big might have happened to the other party, so she quickly helped Ou Yaruo sit down on a bench nearby, and walked a little further away before she dared to answer the phone.

Zhong Tianqi had just answered the phone and hadn't had time to speak when he heard Susan say, "Your aunt Ms. Zhong Hua held a small banquet today. The person sitting at the banquet was a Southeast Asian star named Han Zhiyi. I saw that Ms. Zhong Hua was very close to Han Zhiyi, and that Mr. Han Zhiyi was somewhat similar to Mr. Zhong Wei."

Zhong Tianqi certainly knew who Han Zhiyi was. To be honest, paparazzi had taken photos of his aunt Zhong Hua and Han Zhiyi having close contact. However, as a nephew, Zhong Tianqi was of course aware of the relationship between his aunt Zhong Hua and his step-uncle, and was sure that his aunt was definitely not in a relationship of keeping Han Zhiyi.

Susan said these words with such certainty, which shows that it is confirmed without a doubt that Han Zhiyi is his father Zhong Wei's illegitimate son.

Zhong Tianqi's mind was a little confused, but he was still very grateful for Susan's reminder: "Thank you for your reminder, I will let my brother know about Han Zhiyi first."

Seeing that Zhong Tianqi had made a decision, Susan hung up the phone directly. She didn't need to pay attention to the rest of the matter.

Seeing that Zhong Tianqi was in a bad mood after receiving a call, Ou Yaruo considerately did not ask, but Zhong Tianqi felt that it was necessary to tell his wife about this matter. "It was Susan who called just now. She said that she met Han Zhiyi at her aunt's dinner party, and after observing closely, she found that Mr. Han Zhiyi was somewhat similar to the old man."

Ou Yaruo understood, "That Mr. Han Zhiyi, is he the advertising star who had a little scandal with my aunt before? I heard that my aunt also recommended that the advertising department invite Mr. Han Zhiyi to play the leading role in our next advertising drama, or other popular roles."

Ou Yaruo didn't say at that time that she felt that it didn't matter even if Han Zhiyi was really kept by their aunt Zhonghua. After all, having a beautiful and knowledgeable woman by his side would greatly improve his work efficiency.

But no one expected that Han Zhiyi was not only a newcomer promoted by Zhong Hua, but also Zhong Hua’s nephew and a serious junior.

After Ou Yaruo figured out the situation, she no longer paid attention to this matter. After all, she had no idea about the distribution of the group's equity. Even though she was now the young lady of the Zhong family, she still thought so, because she could fight for everything she wanted. Besides, she and Zhong Tianqi already had a tacit understanding that when the baby in her belly grew older, she would go out and create her own brand.

Zhong Tianqi knew since he was very young that Zhong Wei might have a wife and children outside, but the other party has never shown up for so many years. He had almost forgotten the news that caused his mother to give birth prematurely. Now that Han Zhiyi has officially entered his sight as Zhong Wei's illegitimate son, he has to admit that he has resentment towards Han Zhiyi and his mother.

So when Ou Yaruo went back from his walk and worked in the study alone for a while, he told his brother Zhong Tianjun about Han Zhiyi's existence with a serious face, and asked Zhong Tianjun to secretly investigate Han Zhiyi's life, especially reminding him to avoid the sight of their aunt Zhong Hua.

Zhong Tianjun quickly sorted out Zhong Tianqi's words, but felt that it would be best not to bypass their aunt Zhong Hua in this matter: "Tianqi, aunt has always been very good to us. If Han Zhiyi is really the child of my father outside, then it is understandable that aunt takes care of him. Moreover, the relationship between Han Zhiyi and aunt is very close now. It is not so easy for us to bypass aunt if we rashly investigate Han Zhiyi."

Zhong Tianqi was impatient to deal with these details, and just listened to his brother's words, "Brother, do whatever you want, I have no opinion. I cannot accept an illegitimate child, especially when the other party's existence is likely to be the culprit that caused Mom to suffer from depression and die of depression."

Zhong Tianqi was about to become a father, and he had not enough time to learn how to take care of his wife and children. How could he be willing to devote his energy to an illegitimate child who was related to his mother's death?

As for Zhong Tianjun, although he said that it was not good to investigate Han Zhiyi without his aunt Zhong Hua, he actually had to save Susan's face.

After all, the Zhong family is in the jewelry business, and Southeast Asia is a relatively important jewelry producing area, so the Zhong family is not without influence there. Investigating Han Zhiyi, who is active on the screen, is much easier than imagined. So in less than ten days, Zhong Tianjun got a lot of information about Han Zhiyi before he became a star, and also found out that Han Zhiyi's debut was entirely due to the support of their aunt Zhong Hua.

With this information, Zhong Tianjun felt relieved to go to Europe to meet with Zhong Hua in person. Zhong Tianjun did not mention why he wanted to investigate Han Zhiyi. He only said to Zhong Hua: "Aunt, Han Zhiyi was born only five months younger than Tianqi. The root of what happened is probably still on my father, but Tianqi's mother and I did suffer from postpartum depression because of my husband's infidelity."

Seeing that Zhong Tianjun had investigated Han Zhiyi and obtained a lot of real information, Zhong Hua didn't want to continue covering up for Zhong Wei. If he continued to cover up, the three children would completely alienate themselves from Zhong Wei.

"Your father was indeed caught cheating on his wife, which caused your mother to have a premature birth and postpartum depression. The reason your mother heard about his cheating was because your father's driver was bribed by Han Zhiyi's uncle. I am very sure of this because I investigated the truth of all this before I adopted Han Zhiyi."

Hearing this, Zhong Tianjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't believe that Zhong Hua's kindness and love towards him and his younger brother Tianqi had ulterior motives.

Zhong Hua sighed, "When I knew my sister-in-law was suffering from postpartum depression, I immediately investigated Han Zhiyi's mother, and the result was directly related to Han Zhiyi's uncle. Han Zhiyi's mother is really a very traditional woman. She could guess that your father must have a wife and children. But how can I put it? When your father was young, he was indeed elegant and talented. Most importantly, he had some money."

"Later, your father got angry at Han Zhiyi and his mother because of your mother's death. When Han Zhiyi was only five years old, he directly cut off their living expenses. Han Zhiyi's mother had to do some shady jobs to support her child. When Han Zhiyi was in his teens, his mother became ill from overwork and eventually died in bed. As a child, he started to fight underworld boxing to make a living."

"Later, when I went there for vacation, I suddenly thought of Han Zhiyi and his mother, so I decided to secretly look after them. I discovered that Han Zhiyi had long been desperate and had even committed many crimes. I felt that I couldn't let him continue to degenerate, so I promoted him to be a model and forced him to study for a while."
