Chapter 359 The Law of the Dark Forest
Su Xiaoxiao thought of Xiangnan.
She has always known that the Xiang family is a wealthy family, and not just an ordinary wealthy family.
When she first met Xiangnan, Xiangnan was in danger twice.
She knew that the Xiang family was not a simple family, but she didn't want to get involved in other people's family background.
Even though she became very familiar with Xiang Nan and developed a good impression of him, she did not deliberately pay attention to the Xiang family, and sometimes even deliberately avoided news related to the Xiang family.
But now, the Xiang family appeared in front of them unexpectedly.
When it comes to the case, you have no choice but to know.
"Do you think Xiangnan is the child who was replaced?" Li Yan said in a low voice.
"Probably not. The age doesn't match."
She had thought about this the moment the Xiang family appeared, but it was not the case. The child was three years older than Xiangnan. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be Xiangnan's brother.
The head of the Xiang family of this generation is Xiang Minghui, who is Gu Xinyue’s husband and has two sons.
The eldest son is named Xiang Zhiyu. He is smart and capable, and has been trained by Xiang Minghui as his successor since he was young.
It is said that Xiang Minghui was quite strict with him. In order to train him, he threw him into a company and made him start as a clerk at the lowest level.
He was also asked to conceal his identity to see how far he could go with his own abilities.
Unexpectedly, it only took him two years to be promoted from an ordinary employee to the position of vice president. A company on the verge of bankruptcy not only paid off its debts but also made a profit.
Xiang Minghui was very happy and formally introduced him to the public.
In the past two years, Xiang Minghui gradually handed over some rights to Xiang Zhiyu.
Xiangnan is his other son.
But this son was not raised by his side since childhood, but was raised abroad.
He just came back from abroad two years ago.
Xiang Minghui seemed to be very doting on this son. He allowed him to eat, drink, have fun and squander money without making too many demands on him.
He was only sent out occasionally to inspect the group's businesses and show his face in front of friends and relatives.
There are many rumors outside that Xiang Nan’s mother is not Gu Xinyue, but a woman of humble status, who is the product of Xiang Minghui’s one-night stand.
So, he had actually been living outside, and it was only in recent years that Xiang Minghui found him because he was old and had few children.
However, rumors are just rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not.
Xiang Zhiyu is the same age as Zeng Ni, so he is most likely the child who was replaced.
When Gu Xinyue married Xiang Minghui, he was not the only heir to the Xiang family. He had an older brother.
He took over the Xiang family's business only after he gave birth to the Xiang family's eldest grandson.
The Xiang family has not always been so smooth sailing. They experienced several ups and downs, but they were all saved by Xiang Minghui. Until now, they still remain in the top ten richest list in China.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that the rumors about Xiangnan's background were probably true.
She remembered Xiangnan saying that he and his mother had a very hard time when he was a child, and his mother was dead, so he was definitely not Gu Xinyue's son.
She was also from a wealthy family in her previous life, so she could probably guess what was going on.
Due to an accident, a woman of humble origin became pregnant with a rich man's child.
No one took her seriously, not even the rich man himself. He probably didn't even know he had such a son.
The so-called raising abroad is just an excuse.
It is very likely that for some reason, he discovered that his son might not be his son, so he thought of that humble woman.
After some searching, he found that he had a son, so he tried to recognize him.
Of course, they couldn't talk about the fact that he had been wandering abroad for all these years, nor did they want to mention his biological mother, so they used the excuse that he was raised abroad to cover up his background.
For some reason, Xiang Minghui could not make Xiang Zhiyu's background public. Firstly, he could not afford to lose face, and secondly, Xiang Zhiyu already had some real power.
Once a scandal is exposed, the impact will be far-reaching.
Moreover, in order to protect Xiangnan, he allowed Xiangnan to appear as a prodigal son.
However, this could not be hidden from his other son Xiang Zhiyu. Xiang Zhiyu felt threatened and prepared to attack Xiang Nan many times.
The two times Xiangnan was in danger might have been his doing.
Su Xiaoxiao has already imagined in her mind a bloody drama of wealthy families fighting for power and brothers quarreling with each other.
Not to mention her, even Li Yan made a similar guess after reading the Xiang family's information.
Don’t be fooled by Xiangnan’s glorious appearance in front of others. No one knows what kind of dangers he may experience behind the scenes.
Or maybe the prodigal son is just his disguise.
Forget it, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't think about it any further. Since she was in a wealthy family, these things were inevitable. Whether she could survive in the wealthy family depended on her own ability. It was difficult for outsiders to interfere.
Even if he doesn't want to fight, it's useless.
Because in that environment, no one would believe that others had no ambitions, and even if he wanted to give up, few people would believe it.
The Dark Forest Law is most applicable in wealthy families. Xiangnan's life in the Xiang family is actually not easy at all.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts. Their main goal now was to find the murderer who killed Zeng Ni.
At first, they looked for Zeng Ni's parents and just wanted to tell them the news of Zeng Ni's death. Unexpectedly, they found Cai Qionghua and uncovered her unknown life experience.
According to Cai Qionghua, they are a loving couple, have two children, live a happy life, and have no grudges with anyone.
She couldn't think of anyone else who would want to do anything to her except that woman, whom she had just seen recently.
However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that it might not be her. She didn't kill her to silence her back then, so why did she suddenly do it now?
Moreover, what was her purpose in taking Zeng Ni away back then?
Zeng Ni was able to grow up safely, so it was obvious that her intention was not to kill and silence the witnesses. If she was really the one who did it, then what made her change her mind? !
They checked Gu Xinmei's whereabouts in the past few days. Her whereabouts were normal. Apart from attending activities, she stayed in the hotel and did not go out often, but many people came to see her.
Many people want to get in touch with the Xiang family through her, so they are not stingy in donating money to her charity fund.
Just like when Xiang Nan was around, many prodigal sons surrounded him, not because of him, but because of the Xiang family.
It is said that the relationship between the two sisters Gu Xinmei and Gu Xinyue is very good. Gu Xinyue takes good care of her younger sister. This charity fund was originally initiated by Gu Xinyue. After the fund got on track, it was handed over to her younger sister.
Nothing was found at Gu Xinmei's place, but something was found at Cai Qionghua's place.
