15: Chapter 15 The Chen family is about to go bankrupt! Only a madman would inherit your billions in debt!

Wang Xiaoyun adjusted her emotions and introduced her youngest daughter.

"Finally, this is your fourth sister, Chen Xingyue!"

"If your third sister has social anxiety, then she has social superpower! Outgoing, talkative, and rather short-tempered!"

"As for her profession, an actress!"

"She's not as accomplished as her three older sisters, just a third-rate little star in the entertainment industry."

"Right! In that recent hit palace drama 《Phoenix Chang'an》, she played the female lead's best friend, and she even got cursed onto the trending searches by the viewers."

"The comment section was filled with curses saying she played the vicious female supporting role too realistically, pissing off the viewers so much that their prostatitis flared up."

"……"

Chen Fan looked toward the fourth photo.

The woman in the photo had striking red big wavy curly hair, exquisite makeup, and wore a jewel-bedecked evening gown.

She was facing the camera, revealing a brilliant, confident, toothy smile.

Just looking at the photo, one could feel that overwhelming vitality rushing toward them.

What shocked Chen Fan even more was that he happened to have watched and really liked the show 《Phoenix Chang'an》.

At that time, he even joked with his colleagues around him, saying that the actress who played the female lead's best friend looked somewhat similar to him.

Perhaps the two of them were long-lost biological older sister and younger brother!

He hadn't expected his casual remark to hit the nail on the head.

This female celebrity had now truly become his fourth sister?!

Wouldn't that mean he could openly and righteously ask her for an autograph?

Oh my ~ Not bad ~ ( ｡ ≧ 3 ≦ ) ﾉ ⌒ ☆ ~ ~ ~

[Heh! A mere third-rate little star, yet she dares call herself an actress?]

[When it comes to acting skills, she is far worse than the Fake Young Master!]

[With just a casual act, the Fake Young Master could coax her into cursing this deity in front of the whole family as a "country bumpkin", saying that taking this deity out would lower her class.]

[This deity will never forget, in the previous life inside that broken TV in the basement, watching her take the Fake Young Master to walk the red carpet.]

[She wore a red evening gown, and the Fake Young Master wore a custom-made designer suit! The two of them were infinitely glorious! They were even praised by the media as the "most beautiful sister and brother".]

[At that time, this biological younger brother of hers was extremely envious!]

[But it doesn't matter! In this life, this deity doesn't care anymore, doesn't value it anymore!]

Chen Fan: "……"

He had basically figured it out!

This voice pack was simply a home-wrecker, wishing nothing more than for him and his family to develop a rift!

Provoking his relationship with his parents and the Fake Young Master at the beginning was one thing!

Now it wanted to alienate his Bloodline family affection with his four older sisters?

Hmph! ╭ ( ╯ ^ ╰ ) ╮

"I believe your ghost!"

"You pretentious voice pack are so wicked?!"

Want to PUA brainwash me? No way!

Toward his four unique biological older sisters, Chen Fan only felt admiration and pride in his heart.

The eldest sister was a top lawyer, the second sister was a renowned doctor, the third sister was a Genius painter, and the fourth sister was a big star!

This configuration, spoken aloud, was even more of a web novel protagonist than a web novel protagonist.

The most crucial part was that his sisters were all so outstanding. No matter what happened in the family in the future, it probably wouldn't be his turn to worry?

He could comfortably live off his family, rot and lie flat, and be a rich second-generation heir who just ate and waited to die!

That kind of immortal days, heehee! ─ ━ _ ─ ━ ✧

Just thinking about it could make him laugh out loud ~ ~ ~

Meanwhile.

Wang Xiaoyun and her husband's moods were not so wonderful anymore.

After eavesdropping on a circle of inner thoughts.

The two of them sorrowfully discovered that not a single person in the entire family had left a good impression on their good eldest son.

Could it be that this whole family teamed up to bully him alone in the previous life???

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!!!

Although the four daughters had different personalities and their own little tempers.

Essentially, they were all kind and protective good children.

At most, because they had spent longer with Jing Ci, they favored him a bit more.

But it was absolutely impossible for them to gang up to abuse their own biological younger brother!

Not to mention that child Jing Ci, whose nature was kind and knew how to repay gratitude.

He already felt guilty because he had enjoyed eighteen years of glory and wealth that didn't belong to him.

He wished he could pour out everything to repay this grace of upbringing.

How could he possibly be so wolf-hearted and dog-lunged as to turn around and bully their biological son?

There must be a huge misunderstanding in this!

And the best way to untie the misunderstanding was for their whole family to treat each other with sincerity in this life, letting the son feel the warmth of family affection once again.

Thinking of this.

Chen Jianguo spoke first, his voice steady and solemn:

"Xiaofan."

Chen Fan raised his head: "Hmm? Dad?"

"You are the child of this family." Chen Jianguo looked into his eyes and said word by word.

"Your mom and I will use the rest of our lives to make up for all eighteen years we owe you."

"Dad promises! In this family, no one can make you suffer grievances again! Even your four biological older sisters won't do."

"……"

Wang Xiaoyun nodded repeatedly by the side, holding Chen Fan's hand, her eye sockets slightly reddening as she said:

"Right, your dad is right."

"Starting today, no one can bully you!"

"If your four older sisters dare to bully you, tell Mom! Mom will vent your anger!"

"Anyway, you must believe that Mom and Dad love you!"

"……"

This sudden solemn promise made Chen Fan somewhat embarrassed, and he was immensely touched inside.

Wuwuwu ( ꒦ _ ꒦ ) ...

I'm in tears, family members!

Mom and Dad are really too good to me! ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )

With parents like these, what more could a son ask for?!!

[???]

[Why are this couple acting so mushy today?]

[Singing in harmony, just like they rehearsed it.]

[Compensate me? Not let me suffer grievances? Even including the four sisters won't do?]

[Heh, who can't say pretty words?]

[In the previous life, you started out saying the exact same thing! And the result? The Fake Young Master cried a bit, and you instantly forgot about this deity.]

[This deity has mixed in the Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years, what kind of empty promise routines haven't I seen?]

[Bounced checks of this level can't even fool a newly ascended Loose Immortal.]

[However, for some reason, the development in this life is indeed a bit different from the previous life?]

[These blind and heart-blind parents weren't this attentive to this deity in the previous life?]

[Fine then, this deity will tentatively play along with your farce of affectionate father and filial son for now, and see what on earth you are plotting!]

Chen Fan habitually ignored the voice pack's conspiracy theories.

An expression of being moved appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously as he said:

"Mm! I believe Mom and Dad's love for me!"

Chen Jianguo: "……"

Wang Xiaoyun: "……"

The couple's mouth corners twitched twice at the same time.

This brat. ￣ □ ￣ ｜ ｜

On the surface, he looked moved and said things like "I believe Mom and Dad"?

But in his heart, he was thinking "I'll tentatively play along with you guys"?

Such a huge contrast!

So black-bellied!

So good at acting!

Who on earth passed down this hypocritical acting skill to him?!

Chen Jianguo was speechless to the extreme.

He didn't understand why his good eldest son always felt that they would favor the adopted son.

Clearly, they had already gone against their conscience earlier and said things like adopted ones can never compare to biological ones...

Could it be that his acting skills weren't good enough? Were the flaws seen through?

Thus, he changed his sitting posture, put on an earnest and heart-to-heart expression, lowered his voice, and said:

"Xiaofan, Dad originally didn't want to make some things explicit."

"But today, taking advantage of the absence of your sisters and Jing Ci, Dad will lay everything on the table with you."

"……"

Chen Fan's curiosity was hooked by his mysterious tone:

"What words?"

Chen Jianguo glanced at his wife, who understood tacitly and took over the conversation:

"Xiaofan, you are our only biological son."

"In this family, your status is different from the other children. Such a large family estate of the Chen family will definitely be left for you to inherit in the future."

"Although your four older sisters are outstanding, they will eventually have to get married."

"As the saying goes: A daughter who marries out is like poured-out water!"

"Leaving the family property to them would be equivalent to benefiting outsiders! How can that do?"

"And Jing Ci... Although he was also raised by us, after all, there is no Bloodline relationship."

"Being able to raise him for eighteen years, providing him with food, clothing, and education, is already benevolence to the utmost."

"He has even less qualification to covet the Chen family's property."

"……"

Chen Jianguo nodded in agreement from the side:

"Your mom is right! Biological is biological, adopted is adopted, the two are always different!"

"Blood is thicker than water, this is heavenly principle."

"Of course, for the sake of future family harmony, it's enough for you to know these words today!"

"Make sure not to let your four older sisters, nor Jing Ci and the others know..."

"……"

After saying these words, the couple simultaneously felt guilty for a split second.

These patriarchal "dross thoughts".

Normally, they wouldn't say such things even if beaten to death.

The couple's parenting policy had always been equal treatment and gender equality, never engaging in that patriarchal nonsense.

The educational resources and material conditions that the four daughters enjoyed since childhood were not a bit worse than any wealthy young master's.

They also treated Jing Ci as their own flesh and blood, never treating him differently just because he was an adopted son.

But today, in order to let their good eldest son accept them and accept this family faster, they had to temporarily pull out the older generation's feudal rhetoric.

Anyway, none of the children were around, and no one would know even if they said it.

Pacify the son first and talk later.

As for other matters, they would think of ways to smooth things over slowly later.

On the other side.

After hearing this, Chen Fan was completely stunned Σ ( ☉ ▽ ☉

a .

He hadn't expected Wang Xiaoyun and her husband's thoughts to be so...

Traditional?

If this matter were placed on someone else, he would inevitably stand on the high ground of morality and point fingers.

Severely criticize this kind of patriarchal feudal ideology.

What is called a daughter who marries out? Poured-out water?

What kind of talk is this? What era is this already?

Do you understand gender equality?

This is the core socialist value!

But when Chen Fan discovered that the beneficiary of this wave of feudal ideology was himself?!

Then excuse him, he only wanted to say:

So delightful!!!

Hhahahaha!

Feudalism is good! Feudalism is wonderful! Feudalism is fantastic!

Can the rules passed down by the ancestors be called dross?

That is called excellent traditional culture! It must be well inherited and carried forward!

Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, rest assured, younger brother will take good care of the family property for you.

When you get married, I will definitely pack a super big red envelope, absolutely not letting you leave empty-handed!!!

As for that dear giegie of mine from a different father and mother!

Hehe, ( . ・ ＿ ・ . ) ﾉ I'm sorry ~ ~ ~

Adopted sons cannot divide the family property.

This is a rule passed down by the ancestors since ancient times!

It's not me who said it, the ancestors said it!

─ ━ _ ─ ━ ✧

Although he was wildly ecstatic in his heart, Chen Fan felt that on the surface he still needed to be reserved and could not make his eating posture look too greedy.

Therefore, he sat upright and said in a serious tone:

"Dad, Mom, you... how can you have such thoughts?"

"……"

The couple froze for a moment and were about to explain.

They saw their good eldest son take a deep breath, suddenly stand up, and continue in a heartbroken and righteous tone:

"How many years has the concept of gender equality been popularized? The Qing dynasty perished long ago!"

"Why are you still engaging in that set of feudal society practices?"

"What about a daughter who marries out being like poured-out water? If that spreads and the sisters hear it, how heartbroken they would be!"

"The four older sisters are all my beloved relatives and friends, flesh-and-blood sisters!"

"They are so outstanding, I'm too proud of them to even begin with!"

"……"

The couple was dumbfounded, completely not expecting their good eldest son to have this kind of reaction.

But Chen Fan spoke more and more excitedly, clenching his right fist and beating it against his own chest, his eye sockets reddening:

"And Jing Ci giegie, how innocent he is! The mix-up isn't his fault!"

"Back then he was also a baby, could he choose? He was also a victim!"

"How can you use reasons like [Bloodline] relationship to negate him?"

"After eighteen years of living together day and night, is it worth nothing just because of lacking that layer of blood?"

"……"

Chen Fan had an expression of absolute righteousness.

Looking just like a progressive youth marching on the streets during the May Fourth Movement.

"Dad, Mom, I, Chen Fan, put my words here today."

"The sisters are all my family, and Jing Ci giegie is also my family. From now on, I will just treat it as having gained an extra brother, and a family living in harmony and prosperity is what matters most."

"As for inheriting the family property or whatever... let's talk about it later."

"Right now I just want the family to be well."

"……"

At this very moment.

Wang Xiaoyun and her husband were both shocked by their good eldest son's lofty and righteous speech.

For a moment, they couldn't even tell whether he was speaking from the bottom of his heart or acting!

"Xiaofan, you... do you rilly think like this?"

"Of course!" Chen Fan's face didn't flush and his heart didn't beat fast, high-spirited and passionate.

[Of course... it's faked y'all!]

[The Chen family is going bankrupt, what the hell of a family estate does this deity have to inherit?]

[Could it be to inherit your upcoming hundreds of millions in debt?]

The voice pack's tone suddenly became gloating.

[Speaking of which, this pair of blind and heart-blind parents still have the leisure time to make empty promises to this deity here? They really have big hearts!]

[In the previous life, it was precisely today that the Chen Group's core confidential documents were stolen by a traitor and sold to a competitor.]

[By the time the Chen family members discovered it, the other party had already taken the Chen Group's patented technology and released the product ahead of time.]

[And in return counter-sued the Chen Group for copyright infringement.]

[Directly causing the Chen Group's reputation to collapse, stock prices to plummet by forty percent overnight! Banks pulling loans! Suppliers making a run on it! The capital chain breaking!]

[Such a fine ten-billion-dollar commercial group collapsed within half a year.]

[Calculate the time! That traitor should be rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the company's president office right now, right?]

[If we rush over now, we should be able to catch them red-handed on the spot.]

[However, why on earth should this deity remind them?]

[Besides, even if said, no one would believe it.]

[In the previous life, this deity noticed something was wrong and kindly reminded them a sentence, only to be cursed head-on by this pair of blind and heart-blind parents.]

[Humiliating this deity with "dark intentions, looking at everyone like a thief"?!]

[Hmph! Treating good intentions as donkey lung, this deity will never do such a thing again in this lifetime.]

[What does the Chen family's life or death have to do with this deity? Just let this family fend for themselves!]

Bankruptcy???

Hundreds of millions in debt??????

Chen Jianguo: "???!!!!!!"

Wang Xiaoyun: "??????!!!!!!!!!"
