Liu Changwen's excited behavior surprised Liu Jincheng. He had never seen his father like this. In his impression, Liu Changwen was always calm and composed. Even when his family was ruined and forced out of China, he had never made any mistakes. Now, he was only excited when he heard a person's name, and he seemed to know Dong Guanqing's biological father Xu Changqing in his words, which really surprised and curious.

"Dad, who is the owner of the Yi Manor you are talking about? Is it Mr. Xu, the father of Guan Qing?" Liu Jincheng poured a glass of water. After his expression calmed down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Do you know him? That Mr. Xu?"

Liu Changwen took the cup, drank the whole glass of water in one breath, and then let out a long breath without answering immediately. He sat quietly for a while as if he was calming down, and then said, "Of course I know this Mr. Xu for you. The reason why our Liu family has today's wealth and status is because of Mr. Xu's guidance. He is the great benefactor of our Liu family."

"What?" Liu Jincheng couldn't help but be stunned. He recalled the past in his mind and frowned and said, "Why can't I remember such a great benefactor? You seem to have never mentioned this person before."

"Why didn't I mention it? Didn't I often mention a paradise before? This Mr. Xu is that paradise." Liu Changwen glared at his son and immediately retorted, then took out the pipe that had not moved for a long time, put it on the tobacco and lit it. He took a hard sip and vented it slowly, and then slowly recalled: "You were still young back then, and Jin Xue was only ten years old. For your father, you were doing some business in Huguang area, freight transactions, and your business was neither prosperous nor popular.

Although China was ruled by the Qing court at that time, the real ruler in the south was the Chen family of the Chen family. If all the officials who went to the south did not nod their heads of the Chen family, their officials would not be able to be long-term, and they might even have life worries. And this Chen family is the predecessor of the Chen family of China, the Chen family of Europe, and the Chen family of America."

Liu Jincheng said to himself in panic: "Although I often hear people mention the Chen family consortium, I didn't expect the Chen family consortium to have such great strength. Then aren't they like Lu Buwei of the Qin Dynasty. Use Shang to rule the country?"

"Lu Buwei? It is indeed a bit similar, but the foundation of the Chen family is much stronger than that of Lu Buwei." Liu Changwen nodded in agreement and continued: "The Chen family was just a small businessman in the north at the beginning, just like our Liu family. The reason why he had such great strength was because a family of laity always secretly helped the Chen family, gave advice for them, and turned bad luck into good fortune. This line of laity is the owner of the Yi Manor. No one has accumulated supplies. Why did this line of laity take care of the Chen family so much? But most insiders at that time knew that as long as they received the guidance of this line of laity, wealth could be comparable to the country, and it would no longer be a dream to be the best. Unfortunately, the owner of the Yi Manor spent most of his time on the Taohua Mountain in the Chen family, ignoring foreign affairs. Only during the annual Shangyuan Lantern Festival would he go down the mountain to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the water and land Dharma Assembly to approve fate and promote fortunes for those who are destined to be outside the Chen family."

"Criticize fate and promote fortune? That's a fortune teller." When Liu Jincheng heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, and Xu Changqing's image of being high above suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Fortune-tellers? Those who walk around the alleys and are skillful in the flower masters are fortune-tellers, such as the owner of the Yi Manor who cut off the country's fortune and changed people's fate. They are good people like national sages, earth immortals, ancient Zhang Liang and Liu Ji are all such figures. Don't put the things you learned in Western universities into Chinese metaphysics. Things that have been passed down from China for thousands of years cannot be explained by a few simple formulas." Liu Changwen snorted coldly, glared at his son fiercely, and then gave a few words of a lesson. After his son apologized repeatedly, he continued: "I thought that the identity and status of the father could not know about the owner of the Yi Manor. This was the next time that he accidentally learned some details from a regular customer.

I am also ambitious people from my father. I was unwilling to be a small businessman for my whole life, so I simply rented a house in Chen Jiachong and attended the water and land ceremony held by the Chen family at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival for several years. Unfortunately, I never got the advice of the owner of the Yi Manor. Later, the emperor paid off. I arrived at Chen Jiachong several days in advance for the reason of transporting goods. I happened to meet the owner of the Yi Manor from the mountain and took my carriage into the city. At that time, I thought this was the opportunity for my father, so I boldly asked the owner of the Yi Manor to approve his life. As a result, the owner of the Yi Manor made a living and calculated the future of his father's future, and also told him the great disaster and the way to resolve it."

Liu Jincheng said in a daze: "Dad, you suddenly sold all the industries in the south. You went to the north to start a business. It turns out that this is the reason!"

"Not bad! It was because the owner of the Yi Manor who made this life for his father that he made this dangerous move to make a big deal. Afterwards, it was proved that the owner of the Yi Manor who made a decision to make a father was not wrong. After a father arrived in the north, he immediately met Duan Qirui who secretly raised military expenses for Yuan Shikai in the north. He spent money to make friends with him at the time, and eventually gained a lot of benefits from Duan Qirui. Not only did he become the benchmark of a Beiyang army in Shaanxi within a few months, he mastered a team of troops, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to control most of the business world in Shaanxi. Although he was not as good as the Chen family, he was still very glorious." Speaking of this, Liu Changwen's face shining, and there was a sense of killing and decisive atmosphere between his eyebrows, but this expression quickly dissipated, and he returned to normal again and sighed deeply.

He sighed and continued, "Although my father was extremely glorious at that time, the disaster in the comments of the owner of the Yi Manor was always a thorn in my heart. In order to avoid accidents, I sent your mother, you and your brother to the United States to avoid being distracted when something happened. I will take you back after the disaster. In the following years, there was no sign of this disaster. The Qing court abdicated at this time. The Beiyang Army also controlled the entire north, and the father was also prosperous because of his relationship with Duan Qirui. At this time, my father was already fascinated by power and wealth, and almost forgot about the comments of the owner of the Yi Manor, and then he even brought your elder brother and your mother back. The so-called extreme things will turn back. When my power reached the highest level, my disaster came."

At this time, Liu Jincheng's expression became nervous, and he sat up straight, saying, "Dad, what happened to the family back then? How did my mother die? You have never mentioned these things to me before, and I will just let you go by casually when I ask. Now..."
