"Maybe I'm too worried, but if the Dong family has no other purpose, why should we deliberately conceal our relationship with the Chen Consortium?" Liu Changwen interrupted his son's defense and analyzed: "Do you know that after the Dong family joined the Chinese Consortium, the entire business within the Chinese Consortium, coupled with the secret support of the Chen Consortium, it will soon become the largest Chinese merchant in the west, and even surpass the entire Chinese Consortium. Our Liu family occupies an important position in the Chinese Consortium, and has formed the Dong family's relatives and is related to the Chen Consortium. As long as the opportunity is right, you can enter the upper class of the American society.

The decision-making level is very glorious to outsiders. But if the Dong family makes any moves to the Western Chamber of Commerce, the first thing we have to deal with will be our Liu family. If our Liu family wants to not be annexed and exist independently, what we can do now is to prevent the Dong family from joining our Liu family's business, and then secretly use the Dong family's momentum as much as possible to expand the strength of the Liu family, so that we can protect ourselves, and every bit of strength can be said to be crucial. As a father, I am also for the future of the Liu family, so I have to come up with this bad strategy?"

"Father," Liu Jinxue no longer had the coldness he had before. He sighed, looked at the door with a little guilt in his eyes, and said, "But this is not fair to Jin!"

"How fair to you! Alas! Stop saying it!" Liu Changwen felt deeply guilty. Some time ago, he was still happy that he could form a relative like the Dong family and take the line of the Chen family consortium. Now he felt only heavy pressure and concerns about the future.

The room became much more dull, and after a long time, Liu Jinxue grabbed the wine glass on the table, drank the red wine in the glass, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the Chinese Business Federation to see. Recently, there are living things to be transported from the East Coast. It should be here today. In addition, when I come back, I will go and see how the wedding venue and banquet are being prepared? After all, my Liu family is also a Chinese businessman in San Francisco. Now that the wedding is held, it's not too shabby."

"Well, you go! But you'd better go to the Dong family and ask them what they have for the wedding? It's our primary matter to get along well with the Dong family now." Liu Changwen ordered, then stood up and walked out of the room with his son. When he was at the door, he was about to go back to the study. But after hesitating for a moment, he stepped upstairs, walked to Liu Jincheng's room, and knocked on the door. He said in a slightly lingering local accent, "Cheng Yazi, is he a father?"

"Dad, come in!" Liu Jincheng was sitting by the desk aimlessly flipping through books. Hearing the sound outside the door, hesitated for a moment before responding in the room. After seeing Liu Changwen pushing the door and walking in, he covered up the dissatisfaction on his face, smiled indifferently, and said, "Dad, you haven't called me Cheng Yazi for a long time?"

"There is no way, who is the place where our hometown is written in Tianjin? Speaking the hometown dialect in the south here will be noticed. If someone discovers our previous identity, something may happen. However, after so long, I almost forgot how to say the hometown dialect." Liu Changwen smiled, sat next to Liu Jincheng, looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jincheng, don't blame your elder brother, he is too..."

"I know my elder brother is for the Liu family, so I didn't blame him." Liu Jincheng took a deep breath, sighed again, and said, "Actually, even if you don't mention it today, I will take the initiative to ask to give up the right to inherit the family property."

"What?" Liu Changwen asked in confusion: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Actually, I have discussed it during this period. My salary and I in college, publishing house royalties and other income can fully support my and her monthly expenses, so we are planning to no longer rely on our parents or family, and move out to rent a small apartment for two people and live alone." Liu Jincheng told him and Dong Guanqing about the future arrangements during this period. Before Liu Changwen interrupted, he immediately said: "As for the industries that Guanqing gets, we will also hand them over to a dedicated person to manage. The benefits we get will be established to establish a foundation, specializing in the purpose of aiding the domestic aid."

"You...you are just messing around!" Liu Changwen really didn't know whether to be angry or happy. He was angry because they gave up such a large amount of coveted wealth so easily. And he was happy because the Dong family did not have the participation of this industry, and their power would be much smaller, and the threat to the western Chinese businessmen was also weakened accordingly.

Liu Jincheng changed his past weakness, plucked up the courage to look at his father, and said firmly: "This is a decision that Guanqing and I have considered for a long time. I hope you can support us."

"Jincheng, you have grown up! You are no longer the little guy who can only hide in the pile of books." Liu Changwen did not become as furious as Liu Jincheng thought. Instead, he looked at him with relief, patted his son's shoulder with praise, and then said, "Since you all have your plans, it's not easy to say anything for your father, but you must remember that this place will always be your home. Come home if you encounter any difficult things that cannot be solved. Your family will support you, do you know?"

"Yeah!" Liu Jincheng was filled with emotion. He nodded vigorously, and at this time he decided not to hide Dong Guanqing's life experience from his father, so he blurted out: "Father, there is something I think I should tell you now."

"What's the matter?" Although Liu Jincheng looked very serious and seemed to be talking about something big, Liu Changwen didn't take it too seriously. Especially after hearing the decision just now, he was no longer surprised, so he just responded casually.

Liu Jincheng then told his father one by one about Dong Guanqing's life experience and what happened on the train. At first, Liu Changwen only showed a little surprise, but soon his surprise turned into shock. His expression was mixed with complex emotions such as fear and surprise, and even his body couldn't help but tremble violently.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Liu Jincheng couldn't help feeling strange when he saw his father's expression, but was afraid and awe. He asked hurriedly.

Liu Changwen reached out and grabbed Liu Jincheng's arm, and asked anxiously: "You...you just said that person, what's the name of Guan Qing's biological father?"

Liu Jincheng felt his father's hand look like iron pliers. After struggling for a few times, he couldn't break away. He seemed to be scared and said in a trembling voice: "Xu Changqing, his name is Xu Changqing."
